Title: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Stephen on November 14, 2007, 08:10:01 PM
Starting this thread again since we seem to have gone back to an extremely old backup back when the Front Porch was still open. Hopefully, we can get everything restored on the site and everything on the forum fixed very soon. :)

Well, the backup is from September 21, so it looks like this thread was started right on time for Fall to start. :p

I'm still trying to get over this cold, so I took a nap between classes today, and I had the strangest dream about TWC. You know that big monitor behind the main desk (that displays random graphics), well I had a dream that I was watching TWC, and a WeatherSTAR 4000 was on that monitor, but it kept having problems, and it would re-drawl everything on the forecast. Then for some reason, the camera zoomed in to that monitor, and you could actually read the text on the 4000. Am I going crazy?  :wacko:

:P

I've been having some pretty strange dreams in the past few weeks. I have no clue why. One of the dreams I had was that I was viewing the beta testers subforum in the Weather Star 4000 forum.

Post by: LFMusicFan on November 16, 2007, 06:36:13 PM
I had an odd dream where I had a junior, 4000, XL, and intellistar all in my house. In the dream, I could switch to which ever one I like to see on the TV. But then, weird stuff started happening. The 4000 began to degrade badly, the junior displayed random text, the XL caught fire, and the intellistar strangely suffered from degradation.

Speaking of that, I had a dream that there was a 1999 Satellite Forecast playing and a 2002-2004 Satellite Forecast,  the 2004- 2005 one, and today's HD Satellite and regular Satellite. The 2002 Satellite got degraded and it went back to the 2004 one and it was awesome seeing some historical LF's

For those of you who are good at reading METAR reports, how do you tell whether the pressure is steady, falling, or rising? Here's the latest METAR from Watsonville airport: KWVI 181953Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 18/12 A3007 RMK AO2 SLP182 T01830117

That depends. The temperature of the ground isn't necessarily proportional to the air temperature. For instance, if temperatures have been at or below the freezing mark for the last week, and then today its 37 with snow, that snow is going to stick, because the ground is certainly still cold enough. It would take a few days of temps above freezing for the ground to get to that level.

Billy, I've been thinking of doing a complete reformat of my HP Laptop Drive.  Since I got it in June, I just left it as is (with all the HP crap and everything), and it isn't the fastest (by far).

I recall you doing that when you first got your laptop.  Did it even come with a Vista disc?  I recall it purposefully not coming with a reinstall disc, unless I'm mistaken.

It came with a recovery disc. But I didn't use that to reformat, I used the OEM copy of Vista that I originally bought for my desktop machine.

You should have a recovery partition on your hard drive, and when you boot up, IIRC, there be an option to recover from that partition.

The recovery software on that partition formats and restores the machine back to the original manufacturing state, so all the programs that were installed by the manufacturer would still remain. You'd have to have an OEM copy of Vista and install that to have a Vista without the manufacturer's software. :yes:

Apparently there used to be an airport with the "HAT" airport code in that location, but it was never removed from the radar map. I recall seeing "HAR" on my 4000's radar. From what I can gather, it appears that it was Capital City Airport (which is now CXY) was once HAR (because of the positioning of the dot on the 4000's radar map).

Is it possible to find out which airport codes on the 4000 radar map were in any given area? I'd like to find out what they are/were for my area.

Derek, I'm not quite sure I understand what your asking. The only way to know which airport codes were on your 4000 would be to see an actual clip of it. IF you know the airports near you, you could probably look up their codes and get an idea of what was on your 4000 that way.

I doubt it, but it's usually the most well-known airports that are on the radar maps. In fact, awhile back I came across this (http://www.intellicast.com/CA/Radar/Current.aspx) that has a radar with airport codes in it. I'm not sure if those radars contain all of them, or just the most popular ones though.

Intellicast has different airports then those on the 4000. I checked many well known areas such as the New York City area, and they were different.

i go to spark notes a lot b/c our teacher tells us too.

Curious question, when you advance to a higher grade, the teachers are older and older. Why?
Kindergarten/preK kids often have younger teachers while high school kids get older teachers. My algebra teacher is only 22 however.  :shocked:
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: wxmediafan on November 24, 2007, 08:48:03 PM
IDK

That isn't necessarily true.  My first grade teacher was 40 something.  The year I was in 3rd grade, my teacher turned 53, and my fifth grade teacher was 46.  This year, I've got a 25 year old teacher.  So that is definately not true.

There's no set in stone rule. It's completley a matter of personal preference. The majority of older aged teachers prefer the same type of students. There are those though that don't mind younger kids. My own kindergarten teacher was at least in her mid to late 30's if not early 40's.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on November 25, 2007, 12:04:46 AM
A lot of the teachers I had in elementary school (especially the earlier years) were older than most of the teachers I have now. In fact, my assistant teacher from kindergarten and first grades was in her 60's. She retired at the end of my first grade year (1998-1999 school year).

Yep, it seems that teachers have gotten younger and younger over the years. I don't know if its because the older and more experienced ones have left for some other profession, retired, or perhaps something else, but whatever it is, the older teachers certainly have declined greatly.

Post by: Concentric Eyewall on November 25, 2007, 01:05:12 AM
I know (at least around here) the teachers have forced retirement at 65 if I'm not mistaken.  I think it's some dumb union rule or something..

That's only when both observation sites aren't transmitting data. Here's an XL video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwuKdV3Mtok) with the backup city. The normal city is Quincy, and you can see that Quincy is displaying no report on the LHO list.

No, the XL and 4000 (and I think the Junior, not sure), have an alternate airport reporting site that is used on the CC page if the primary airport has not reported anything in the past 90 minutes. I think there might be some that don't have a backup site set though, such as those in rural areas that don't have a lot of airports around.

You don't make it a habit to read first do you Dan?  :P

The fact that there are no posts here is the whole point of this conversation. The point is also that not once during my membership(s) over there did ever a day go by without posts. I don't contest that it might be slow over there too, but the claim that there have been NO posts over there is false. And to make sure we're all clear, I'm only talking about the five or so boards that fall under the 2000-Present heading. Not to be nasty, but I couldn't careless about the rest. Additionally, you guys spend alot more time over there then you do here, so I really doubt all that extra time is spent twiddling your thumbs. Bottom line: this site is evidently not as significant as TWCC to you guys. Which really ticks me off because I've really worked my ass off, only to watch my site continue to fall behind at its own game to a classic TWC site.

well i was here yesterday, so i'm not the blame for quiteness here. Usually the local forecast forum is full of new posts but there hasnt been any. I remembered when i wasnt here in a week, some of you guys were practically begging me to come back and post! Also, i'm glad i'm not seeing any stupid topics here either

My personal opinion is that that theory is 100% grade A bologna. If I were to go over to TWCC right now, the current TWC boards would be bustling. If that's the case, than so should it be here.
Actually, it isn't that active. I'd say it's about as active as this one right now.

Dan, what the hell do you call that then? He's saying its just as active here as there. And this board (aside from the off topic boards) has seen 0 activity.

Looking at the IntelliStar clip in your YouTube account, it sounds like the time in for that song is around 3.5 seconds.

The time in sounds terrible! It doesn't start on beat or anything. Unfortunately, I think you're right. The song I've found with the worst time in is "Together We Will conquer" by Ryan Farish.

Yeah it is. I think a better time in would be either two seconds or about six seconds (when the drums start playing). I really like the songs used this month, but not the time ins.

Same here. Even the time in for Northern Lights could be better. The only song that I think has the perfect time in is Tempest Wind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0b4xWBNrbk). It starts exactly on the drum beat. The time in for "Let it Free" is pretty good. IIRC, it has the same time in as when it was played in 2005.

The time in is at 2 secxonds. Yeah the songs are great but the time-ins are awful! Many if the songs start at the beginning or at slow beginning parts rather than the actual beat. Only let it Free has a great time-in and also that circus song

I guess something a user said ended up in us having a discussion about LF music. After all, this is the "anything goes" place, so it really doesn't matter what we discuss in this thread (as long as it doesn't violate the rules, of course).

This discussion should be in the local forecast board. This board and the other OT boards get plenty of posts. I want the other boards to be active. You all probably can't understand that, after all all I've gotten is argument from those who have replied to my question, but thats just tough.

While I do understand that the TWC forums aren't as active as the off-topic forums, this is the place, IMO, where we can discuss anything (whether is TWC-related or not). The reason why we are discussing LF music here is because the subject might possibly not be worthy enough for a topic of its own, but I try the best I can to leave those kinds of topics to the TWC-related subforums.

Gary, almost every forum I have been to has an off-topic subforum, and that subforum would often have at least 2-3 times more topics and posts then all of the other forums, yet I don't see the administration there complaining that the other areas of the forum aren't active. So your forum isn't the only one that has the off-topic area being the most active place than the other subforums. You just have to understand that.

Since the entire Congress of Stupidity has convened at the same time, I shall address you all:

Thunder, I'm not after you. Maybe your on too many painkillers.  :wacko:

Derek, if there's not currently a suitable thread, you could...CREATE ONE.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Mike, any forum (whether you know it or not) that has an OT section bigger than the rest of the forum is not doing well. The entire forum should have a steady flow of posts,not just the OT board. Thats why I'm trying to spread the wealth a little, so to speak. Additionally, no guest wants to join a forum where all the activity is confiined to one place. As I said to you earlier, this is stuff that you don't understand because your not running the place.

All: As I said to Mike, I'm saying this for a reason, even if you don't understand what it is. So please, quit arguing with me and just do as I'm asking you to do. I could never figure out why you all are so well behaved for Matt, but are obnoxious as hell here. If that doesn't change soon, there are going to be some major changes around here. And this isn't the first obnoxious episode from you all. I've had numerous issues with all three of you.

Let's use our intelligence, shall we? At least for the next 10 seconds. How about a thread called "General LF Music Discussion", or perhaps just "LF Music Discussion". With this method, you give a home to topics that generally aren't worthy of a home of their own. Pretty basic stuff really. Even you should be able to grasp it.

So I was at Giant this evening (an area grocery store chain), and this instrumental Christmas tune comes on the radio. I swear it sounded familiar. Not that it was ever used on the LF, but in the sense that it was by an artist that had been used on the LF. It sorta sounded like Ray Obiedo or Andy Narell. I don't think it was Andy Narell though cause there were no steel drums.

Anyone watch the Monday Night Football game last night? We were sooooo close to winning! I thought for sure we were going to take it. And that hail mary at the end of the game was the single most exciting play I've EVER witnessed in an NFL football game. Unfortunately I think the refs job left a little to be desired (I had no idea how bad it really was until I watched SportsCenter this morning).

What do you guys think of the game? Did anyone else even watch? :D

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on December 04, 2007, 12:28:58 PM
Well you caught the only minute that really mattered. Everything that shaped the game happened (or didn't happen) in that minute.

I understand that Samari Rolle is going to ask the Ravens to make a formal complaint to the NFL regarding the apparent slurs that were hurled at he and some other Ravens by one of the officials. When all is said and done I think there are going to be alot of fines and suspensions doled out. I hope some of the officials will be included, and I hope that this particular crew will be overlooked when it comes time for the NFL to choose officiating crews for the playoffs and Super Bowl.

That was sheer luck. The Colts are even more superior to the Bears this year than last. Not because their any better this year, but because the Bears are worse.

No Thunder, their not on steroids. What their on is a manufactured 12 game win streak. The ref's really threw last nights game, and I'm sure they have done so in many other games this year. I mean, how can anyone look at the replay of the game winning TD catch and NOT see that it was bobbled?

On that note, the NFL has officially begun investigating Samari Rolle's claims that one of the officials made repeated racial slurs at him. He was repeatedly called "boy", which apparently has a deragatory meaning (though what that is I don't know).

They were beaten by a team that was simply better. I mean, when you think about it, the Bears really only have two really standout type players, being Grossman and Urlacher. The Colts have so many, its hard to name them alll..Manning, Stokley, Addai, Clark, Harrison, and so on and so forth.

Well if your computer has a microphone, then use a music recordingt program like Audacity, and place the radio/device where your music plays next to your computer.

You have a Mac? I had one before and boy, those laptops are HEAVY!!

yup it was a Powerbook. It broke down after 3 years and i miss it. The iBooks are cute though.

Well since ya have a mic, plug it in, then record w/Audacity. Before recording, turn on the radio system high so the program can record the music effectively

today, as mentioned in the christmas tree topic, I put out the outside lights, the outcome:

(http://i3.tinypic.com/71wfvwy.jpg)

my house is a lot bigger than that haha, but if I were to include all of it you won't be able to see the lights real good haha.

the lights on the railings of the porch are chase lights, so they move...the "net" lights (as I call 'em) are the newest addition that I bought because, I mean...the bushes were just plain haha so I bought them and put them on and I thought it was pretty amazing. I still need to put out a few other stuff like a star....I'm also thinking about buying a blow up snow globe or something haha idk. my grandma was able to find the "perfect" tree :P so we'll probably be putting that up tomorrow. the tree is usually displayed in that big window to the left of the picture.

Be greatful they even made a video at all. A TV Tuner isn't necessary if you only care enough to make a video or two.
its money down the drain.
Well i heard the cheaper a tuner is, the more poor the quality is. My tuner cost $$60!! :shocked:

That's definitley a very misinformed opinion. I only payed $25 for mine and it makes superb video. As with everything else, price doesn't always dictate quality.

yeah, our disney world trip was $1,200 (flight, hotel, meal tickets) and you also had to take about $300 of spending money...and our Europe trip is expected to cost around $3,000.

That's because with multiple computer crashes, this website, and life in general I really haven't had the time (not to mention desire) to sit down and record LF's.

My tuner is an Xpert TV-PVR. I picked it up for $25 at a computer show and sale, which take place about once a month around here. The deals you can find at these shows (as illustrated by this tuner) are sometimes phenomenal.

Wouldn't that be a matter of personal opinion/choice? IOW, wouldn't that be your choice to make? After all, it is YOUR radar, so you should make it suitable for you.

The station probably has a reporting station in the city as well. Most news channels show a reading form both the airport and city.

Derek, I'm confused. Do you mean an actual 400 radar, or your emulator? In either case, wouldn't it still be your choice?  :unsure:

Oh I have no doubt its Gil's playlist, but unless it was an old post, I don't see how Gil could've posted it. IMO, the likely culprit is one of Gil's pals, i.e. Mike, Kyle, people like that who are still on friendly terms with him.

How difficult is it to make things such as emulations in Adobe Premiere? I'm thinking about getting this (most likely will be an older version though), because i really need a more professional program to make emulations. All I really have right now is PowerPoint, and I think I am ready to step up to a more professional program after nearly two years of experience with powerpoint.

Premiere is extremely difficult to do emulations with. That's why I'm stepping up to After Effects. I had so much trouble getting those text shadows right. Animated icons were also a real headache.

So we've now been informed on when the Lab Choir will be performing live on News 4 WOAI (along with other choirs across the area)...we've been told we'll be put on air between the times of 9am-11am, we'll know for sure when we arrive at the station. We're only singing two songs....one in which that we'll be able to complete, and the other will be fading out into commercial...this is live, however it will be replayed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it's promising to be very fun!!

That's odd. It usually requires more than simply power cycling (the tech term for unplugging and replugging your router) to cause it to pull a new IP address.
Yeah, it never did that before when I had to power cycle the router. :no:

IIRC, I had the same issue when I had cable internet. 90% of the time I had the same IP, but on a few rare occasions it would change for some reason that I could never figure out. Genrally speaking though, cable IP's are indeed static. Of course, you can manually get a new IP with any type of broadband internet just by right clicking the network icon in your lower right hand taskbar and clicking Repair.

If anything,I think IPB's method is wrong. You get a falsley inflated post count. If the posts are no longer there, why should they still be counted? I'll admit, I hate seeing my post count here drop due to removal of threads as much as any other webmaster, but I'd also much rather have a true count of the posts on the forum.

Also, IPB forum admins can always go into their admin panel and have the board do a recount, which would result in the correct post count.

My tuner is an AVI TV Wonder Pro. I've had it since the summer of 2006, and works pretty good. The quality is excellent, though ever since I installed it, the quality of the picture on my TV hasn't been as good since I have the same cable connected to the computer and VCR (and a cable is connected from the VCR to TV), especially on the local stations, such as ABC and CBS. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Just because someone is from the Atlanta area doesn't mean they work for TWC. There are millions of people in Atlanta, but only a handful of them work for TWC.

i highly doubt the bb guy is working for TWC. They made an emulator clip for Krishnan and i dont think TWC would be smart enough to do something like this.

Also is it me or is TWC way too forcused on New York City? I'm getting sick of seeing Tetiana Anderson and the weather for a city that has like 20 other weather/news stations

yes. An old fashioned and less reliable antenna. I'm using a coaxila cable instead of the A/V adapter cord to connect the tuner into the satellite reciever

I'm angry with him because of how he treated me, and the general way in which he acted forum wide at TWCC. In particular I had trouble with his attitude of superiority. So he's going for a degree in meteorology. Whoopee. And the way you guys treated him inflated his oversized ego even more. Ask the weather expert? For the love of God. Does everyone have their heads up their asses? I don;t think ANY college met student qualifies as anything near an expert. Most mets have far more experience and knowledge than does he and they don't refer to themselves as "experts". Further, he seemed outright looney to me. I remember a number of conversations in which he said things that seemingly made little to no sense. I remember one particular topic in which both Matt and I were participating with him. Let's just say that he had us both flabbergasted by some of his responses. AFAIK, he hasn't even so much as peeped at this forum. With any luck, he'll never bother.

Dude, the only way you can fix the USB tuner is plug it in your PC, then hook the cordial when the inside wire is straight, NOT CROOKED into the reciever. That's the only way you can get Satellite channels

Anyways, I got my first Christmas present a day early - a new cell phone! :dance: My sister got one as well, the same kind, but with a different color. It's a camera phone, too, and it has lots of goodies on it - so it's a nice upgrade from my old LG cell phone. :yes: But, the only reason we got the cell phones a day early was because my sister turned on her old cell phone on this morning (my mom had us leave out our cell phones last night so she could "download ringtones") and it didn't work because the SIM card was no longer installed in that phone. :P

Alright, since intelligence doesn't come naturally to some allow me to help. The only page on this site that has ads is the home page, and contrary to your belief Thunder they ARE TWC related. If you look closely they all have one thing in common. Even you guys should be able to figure it out.

Secondly, Derek, you didn't get your adware from here. My ads are clean. I would take it up with Matt, since you say that our two sites are the only two you have visited. Although I don't think Matt has dirty ads either (as in, ads that would cause you an adware issue).

How do you get rid of adware? Back in April I had a major problem with adware on my PC and it eventually resulted in my PC having a black desktop background saying that my computer is infected, and it kept shutting down automatically. I had no choice but to restore the computer to its original factory settings, resulting in all of my files in my internal HD to be gone. If anyone can tell me how to remove it if it ever happens again, let me know.

Would it be possible for Matt to replace the Google ads on his site with cleaner ones? I think his ads were also what caused my computer to have adware back in the spring.

Sure it would be possible. He put them there, so he can take them off. I took them off not because of adware (I had no idea at the time that that might be an issue) but rather because I found that most of the links they served up were virtually useless. So now I've chosen to put up ads that relate to TWC in some way, mostly music related sites. In addition to being useful, I know for 100% certain that they are clean.

Does anyone know how to remove Trojan.Vundo? I am so close to lighting my laptop on fire and tossing it out the window! :angry: :angry:
Did you run an Anti-virus program? Make sure you have the latest updates and definitions for it, too. :yes:
Oh yes, I've tried everything. It runs with my explorer.exe process. So if that's running, then I can't delete the main .dll file responsible. But of course, there's another .dll file, but it runs with the winlogon.exe process. And I'm sure you all would know what would happen if I ended that...

That's when you quarantine the infected file. This way, you haven't removed the file, but its no longer infecting your PC.

Well when you have a gazillion posts embedded then its sometimes hard to keep track what someone is saying the post in the post like what's happening now.

Also is there a risk of computer virus transmission for the New Year? There was a problem with Y2K earlier this decade.

I don't think Thunder is saying that quoting posts is bad, I think he's talking about multiple quote embedding, which is when you basically have "quote mountains" in posts, like in the post above mine. I personally find these quite annoying, when I post, if there's a bunch of quotes in a post I quote, I remove all of them except the one for the message I'm actually replying to, to avoid any "quote mountains". :yes:

His old account was probably removed by the backup. IIRC he hadn't registered yet at the time of the backup.

It's better than mine (2.9). ;)

And according to Windows Help:
Quote
A computer with a base score of 1 or 2 usually has sufficient performance to do most general computing tasks, such as run office productivity applications and search the Internet. However, a computer with this base score is generally not powerful enough to run Windows Aero, or the advanced multimedia experiences that are available with Windows Vista.

A computer with a base score of 3 is able to run Windows Aero and many new features of Windows Vista at a basic level. Some of the new Windows Vista advanced features might not have all of their functionality available. For example, a machine with a base score of 3 can display the Windows Vista theme at a resolution of 1280 × 1024, but might struggle to run the theme on multiple monitors. Or, it can play digital TV content but might struggle to play High Definition Television (HDTV) content.

A computer with a base score of 4 or 5 is able to run all new features of Windows Vista with full functionality, and it is able to support high-end, graphics-intensive experiences, such as multiplayer and 3‑D gaming and recording and playback of HDTV content. Computers with a base score of 5 were the highest performing computers available when Windows Vista was released.
So, you're basically right in the middle, in terms of perfomance. :yes:

You can also make a fake online list (or any other page you want to), by using this JavaScript code:

Code: [Select]
javascript:document.body.contentEditable = 'true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0
Just go to the page you'd like to edit, and then paste that code into your browser's address bar.

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 01, 2008, 09:18:57 PM
Hosting is relatively inexpensive for personal hosting (which is the level of hosting you would need since your not a business or anything). Generally speaking, you can usually find hosting for between $10-$20 per month. As for what hosting service to choose, the big thing to consider is depndability. After all, no one wants to visit a site or forum that is constantly down. I know that from personal experience.  :P

Anywho, I have Hostgo, and as you all can tell its relatively dependable. That I know of there haven't been any downtime episodes or anything like that. I would recommend Hostgo, but of course there's a web full of hosting services you can check out. I would advise staying away from GoDaddy. I've been told of some unpleaseant things about them.

Hosting is relatively inexpensive for personal hosting (which is the level of hosting you would need since your not a business or anything). Generally speaking, you can usually find hosting for between $10-$20 per month. As for what hosting service to choose, the big thing to consider is depndability. After all, no one wants to visit a site or forum that is constantly down. I know that from personal experience.  :P

Anywho, I have Hostgo, and as you all can tell its relatively dependable. That I know of there haven't been any downtime episodes or anything like that. I would recommend Hostgo, but of course there's a web full of hosting services you can check out. I would advise staying away from GoDaddy. I've been told of some unpleaseant things about them.
What's wrong with GoDaddy and how much did you pay for your host Gary?

a few years ago I got hosting from 1&1 for about $7/month, and had good capacity and features. Though i bet the prices are more, now.

I don't recall the exact details of what's wrong with Godaddy. I pay $15 a month with HostGo.

Stephen, that's another reason I got HostGo-Matt has them too. This way you all can't complain that my site goes down more than his. It doesn't.  :lol: :P

Well, they're saying that it is a local problem, but it isn't, because I (and the others) can access other sites just fine when TWCC goes down. :yes:

i didn't mean to imply "a lie" as harsh as i meant...instead of saying it was a local problem, they could have simply said "we don't have an answer at the time, we'll look into this situation".

but when practically every member is having some sort of time out error, i don't think you need proof to tell you it's definitely not a local problem.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on January 02, 2008, 01:39:38 PM
i know for a fact this aint a local problem b/c if it was in my case, every other site would work as well. Of course, i could be wrong.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 02, 2008, 03:05:12 PM
I can guarantee you (and I know nothing about hosting) that its not a local problem, so yeah they are giving you guys a bunch of crap if that's what their telling you. But, on the same token, as a responsible webmaster Matt needs to either get to the bottom of the issue, or if HostGo can't (or won't) resolve it he needs to find a new host. Sitting around throwing insults at them on people's forums isn't getting either done.

Most likely. I doubt it would ever get down to 8° on the California coastline. Here, highs reached about 30° with gusty winds, and tomorrow will be only 28°. It should warm up to the 50's by the end of the weekend though.

Oh I know how it feels to be in that boat. Although I'm not lucky enough to be able to restore from a backup partition. My hard drive went up in November, at which time I went to Wal-Mart to get a new one, and since then I've been to Wal-Mart 3 times returining dead hard drives that I've purchased there. I have to go there again tomorrow to take back another one. If I ever get a decent working drive I'll be amazed. I'm very close to demanding a refund instead of an exchange, because it seems that they simply don't sell working hard drives.  :lol: :P <_<

I'm currently having to re-image my Windows XP desktop computer with the built in recovery software which is on another partition of the hard drive, with an image of the Windows XP SP1 installation that the computer came with, because when I booted up the system this morning, it'd get almost to the logon screen, but it would go no further than the Windows XP logo. (It would do the same even in Safe Mode.) <_< It's going to be fun having to install 1 million Windows Updates after this gets through. :wall:
Now I'm having to install 92 updates from Microsoft Update in order to bring this thing back up-to-date. I'm not kidding, 92 updates. :crazy:

Nope. Mozilla Firefox descended from the Mozilla Suite (which Netscape WAS built upon in the earlier versions), and built by Mozilla Corporation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox It is no way, shape, or form, built on Netscape. :no:

Well, if you don't believe Wikipedia, then surely you must believe Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/ And this post from the official Netscape blog says that Netscape is based on Firefox: http://blog.netscape.com/2007/02/06/extensions-and-netscape-9/

Netscape has been around FAR longer than Mozilla, so how could it be possible for it to have been based on Firefox, and not the other way 'round?  :unsure:

Mozilla was built upon the Netscape 4.0 source way back in 1998 as an open-source version of Netscape. Mozilla continued to mature through 1999, then in 2000, Netscape 6 was released, based upon Mozilla. In 2002, Mozilla 1.0 fas finalized, and Netscape 7 was built upon Mozilla 1.0. Then in late 2002, Mozilla created the Phoenix project as a browser-only version of Mozilla. The Phoenix project would later be renamed Firebird and then Firefox. Firefox 1.0 was released in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Netscape 8 was released, based upon Firefox. Then Firefox 2.0 was released in 2006, and Netscape 9 was based upon Firefox 2.0 in late 2007.

SeaMonkey is simply the continuation of Mozilla under a new name and different management.

To summarize:
Mozilla was based upon the Netscape 4 source.
Netscape 6 was 7 are based upon Mozilla.
Firefox was based upon Mozilla.
Netscape 8 and 9 were based upon Firefox.

Here's a graphical representation:

Mozilla Suite is completely different from Mozilla Firefox. The suite was/is a bundle of programs, a web browser (obviously), e-mail program, web page creator, IRC client, and an address book. Mozilla Firefox is just a standalone web browser. ;)

Did you make a comment on one of YouTube's foreign websites? I can't think of anything else that might of caused you to receive non-English YT emails. :unsure:
:no: I guess someone else could've made a comment on one of my videos on a non-English YouTube site. :unsure:
that would make sense. I got a comment the other day from the b3392 guy saying "You and mishsboy are cousins lol!!"
FREAKY, i deleted the comment.

I think all three of ya's are cousins.  :P :lol:
Me, related to Thunder!? That's a scary thought. :pinch: :faint:

I think that's a little less than truthful. I mean, think about it. If he'd lost all interest in TWC, why would he be still hanging around/showing interest in the 4000 project? Anyway, I PM'd him over there and he says he'll consider, so obviously nothing is set in stone.

It hasn't been that long...has it? The last time I was there (which was about a month, perhaps two ago)he had been on. 

Anyways, I'm glad to see he's coming back around. I sort of felt a bit responsible for his lost interest in TWC because of everything that happened here.  :(

Yeah, last I heard (which was more than a year ago), his computer privileges were removed after a brave TWCC member found his contact information and called Solosoul's mom. I'm not sure if he will get his privilege back though. I sure hope he doesn't. It was a nightmare finding that both my forum (which is no longer online) and TWCC was hacked and seeing that I had 100 emails from Solosoul that all had the same text and pathetic images.

Well, for the record, if you ever have a problem with anything, let me know (PM is preferable). Most of the time I see people complain, but don't really know why. If you actually let me know of an issue I can take care of it much more effectively than if I have to guess what the problem is.

You may not have an interest in pre-2000 TWC, but it seems that you and many others are as active, if not more so, on TWCC's 2000-present boards than you are here. The one thing you all can do to show me that this site means something to you guys is to use it as THE source for everything TWC 2000-present. I don't mean to sound harsh towards Matt, but he does just fine with all of his pre 2000 stuff. He won't be hurting if you stop using his site/forum for 2000-present stuff. Many of you guys have (or at least had) links to TWCT in your sigs over there. that's another thing you all could do to help and to show some interest and support. If you don't have a link in your sig on other weather/TWC sites, put one there! Show your TWCT spirit! You all have no problem showing your loyalty to TWCC. Let's show some for TWCT!  :sunglasses:

I am more than willing to give it more time. But here's the thing: this ain't a free ride for me anymore. I'm now paying to have this site up. And I also pay for the very domain this site resides in. I at least want to feel as though I'm not just throwing my money into a black hole. And when I look at the stats and see that the general trend has been downward over the pat few month's, it sends up a red flag.

I don't beleive there's a way to disable it. Your just gonna have to resist the urge. Besides, even if there were a way to disable marquees, I couldn't do it. It wouldn't be fair to everyone else.

What happened?
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on January 08, 2008, 06:16:33 PM
Well i have to admit it happens here sometimes too

Well, i started to mock the admins with jokes like "What are you the forum police?"
Second, a lot of members told me i have been a pain in the ass for a couple days
Third, i was taking other people's jokes and ranting them and using them the wrong way

Conclusion: I'm frequently like that so i dont really see what's the problem. I also tried to post my feelings on how upset i am and instead i got 3 warnings, now my warning level is at 60% for no valid reason. First warning: Mouthing off an admin, Second Warning: Mouthing off an admin again (WTF? I never did) 3rd Warning: Unecessary cursing (I never cursed, i looked at possible posts carefully) I dont know what to do Gary. I'm in such a mess. I sometimes  do similar things here but you are kind enough to just let it go until my behaviour of course, aggravates you. I get another warning if i try to post something related/joke around and one more after that and i'm banned <_<

Here's my perspective: It's my opinion that Matt (and occassionally, but not always, Tyler) are very quick to hit the warn button. That's one thing I personally like about not having a warning system here-I can't be tempted to overuse it. Furthermore, I do just fine without it. You guys occassionally get mouthy, or arrogant, or clowny, but I honestly don't beleive you guys have done anything I would deem a warnable offense.  I'm not paranoid like that. I won't loose sleep by not warning you. Nor do I care if I lose face by not warning you. Personally, I think that's why Matt likes his warning button so much-because he feels obligated to use it. He's afraid everyone will abandon him if he's not a complete hardass about every little infraction. Personally, I have an open door policy to relieve the need to be a hardass. You don't like how I adminsitrate, feel free to exit, stage right.

I'm not looking to get too involved, but I'll tell you this much-just let it go. Don't let it get to you. If you get banned from there, you still have us here.

Post by: tpirfan28 on January 09, 2008, 04:54:53 PM
To each their own, I guess.  I think Barker really declined in quality in the last three or four years of his tenure...Drew's taken the show and molded it into his own.

And a little tidbit...all the shows that have been taped so far have been taped and aired out of order, so one day you could see a show from Drew's first taping week, and the next could be from one two weeks ago.  I'd wait to pass complete judgment for a while until we start seeing continuous tape-to-air orders.

so today, was basically a wacked out day...second period, the school decides we should have a lock-down drill, haha...the administration wanted to keep it on the DL, but also faced the fact that if they didn't tell the student body, they'd text their family and tell them something is going on at the school, so some teachers went through and told their students what was going to happen tuesday during second period, and others were clueless. hahaha. ohhh but it doesn't stop there, around lunch (noon) in front of our cafeteria is a little area with tables, was being closed off to set up a set that eva longoria (yes, the eva longoria) was going to shoot a commercial that involved our spurs dance team, we were unable to get any information on what the commercial was going to be about...there were also Spurs Players (basketball team, not our dance team haha) there as well. come 5th period, the administration refused to let ANYONE watch them produce this commercial...5th period I have choir, it just so happened that my choir director was out so we did nothing during that class, and the music building is literally right across from the cafeteria, we got in trouble multiple times....hahaha then finally gave up. 5 minutes toward the end of class, we had a group of people (30+) that agreed to all barge outside the music building and act as though we were going to our next class (knowing that the administration can't get us all in trouble), by then it was to late, they had already cleared eva and the players from the area and hid them in the cafeteria until the end of passing period....what a day. hahaha.

Well I talked to Dan (Concentric Eyewall) today, and it seems his reason for leaving was that he wasn't interested in current TWC and that he was tired of the pointless posts. I can understand the first one. If your not interested your not interested. But the fact that he's leaving because of the pointless posts really fries me, because its something I hate to see people leave over. It doesn't seem to be an issue on TWCC, but I'll be damned if I can't get it corrected here. I hope others don't feel the way Dan does (though I suspect at least some people do).

I got a warning once over there.  It was for good reason, but I kind of just rolled my eyes when I saw it :P

Victor, most of your warnings are for good reason. 

LFMusic..  The asking a question thing is kind of dumb, but what is, is what it is.  IMO, I see no points in warnings.  I mean, it's not like it's the end of the world if you get a warning.  Just follow the rules, is it really that hard.?

Is that the bridge that runs parallel to the Garden State Parkway bridge near Ocean City? If so, I don't recall riding on it but I've seen it before from the Parkway and it looks really corroded. The bridge closed around 2004 and hasn't opened to traffic since.

Speaking of Matt, I see he's once again blurred the boundaries between our sites. I was glancing through his music store, and noticed that he's got just about every artist that played since 200 in there in addition to the artists in his time period. Granted, he was nice enough to link to my site in each case, but having their contact information on his website is unacceptable. I don't offer to help people with music played before 2000 at all. Not to be nasty, but rather because I know that Matt takes care of that. Frankly, I've got enough work of my own to do. I don't need his work too.  :rolleyes:

I never knew spammers could call you! :shocked: <_<

Did you have to pay for a text message fee for that?
Usuallllly the text message spammers send the texts from computers via SMS email, meaning it would cost money.

Has anyone done an emulator in MS Paint?
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 13, 2008, 04:14:28 PM
I don't think its possible. Paint doesn't have animation capabilities. You could make a bunch of stills or something, but that'd be about all.

A satellite emulator is extremely hard for beginners at emulating. It's much easier to start with the earliest STARs and work your way up.

Depends which flavor. The 1 minute flavors take about 10 minutes to type in the data, and another 10 minutes to render. The 1:30 and 2 minute flavors take about 20 minutes to enter the data and 10 minutes to render. The M Flavor takes a little longer to enter in the data because of the TCF.

Felipe was included in what I said. But he was no more of a problem most of the time than the other morons over there. In fact, after bill (WxHelp) banned him, the other idiots were MORE problematic.

Your looking at everyone. This is pretty much the norm any more. Why? Beats me. But its got to pick up or else I'm throwing in the towel. we had our worst month ever last month. I'm not paying for that. :no:
I have midyear exams coming up soon so I might not be on as much. That might be the case with others too, which could be the reason why activity is lower than normal. Just give it another month and see how it goes. I'd hate to see this site go because I have very little interest in the pre-2000 days of TWC.

You may not have an interest in pre-2000 TWC, but it seems that you and many others are as active, if not more so, on TWCC's 2000-present boards than you are here. The one thing you all can do to show me that this site means something to you guys is to use it as THE source for everything TWC 2000-present. I don't mean to sound harsh towards Matt, but he does just fine with all of his pre 2000 stuff. He won't be hurting if you stop using his site/forum for 2000-present stuff. Many of you guys have (or at least had) links to TWCT in your sigs over there. that's another thing you all could do to help and to show some interest and support. If you don't have a link in your sig on other weather/TWC sites, put one there! Show your TWCT spirit! You all have no problem showing your loyalty to TWCC. Let's show some for TWCT!  :sunglasses:

I am more than willing to give it more time. But here's the thing: this ain't a free ride for me anymore. I'm now paying to have this site up. And I also pay for the very domain this site resides in. I at least want to feel as though I'm not just throwing my money into a black hole. And when I look at the stats and see that the general trend has been downward over the pat few month's, it sends up a red flag.

Loyalty? What the heck was I thinking! Matt need only say a word to get the troops rallying 'round him. Sometimes you guys are the most disloyal bunch I've ever met.  :rolleyes:

For those who are wondering: yep, I'm pissed.  <_<

Sure, but don't contact him until I've had a chance to. Sometimes artists don't like it when a bunch of people email them at once.

In English (:P), that means anybody (a hacker, etc.) can come by, and view that image, and take somebody's IP. They can then hack into somebody's computer or network with that IP. I'm not saying that this is likely (I would hope that most of us would have firewalls), but it's better to be safe than be sorry, IMO. :yes:

I just got banned from TWCC again for 1 month. I made a post about Hispanics and how they act and it made a lot of members  and myself angry. It also caused my warn meter to go to 100%.

I just want to apologize and deeply regret for what i've done tonight. :(

I appreciate the remorse you feel, however, please understand you will still be required to post a public apology upon returning to the site. Thanks.

True, but I wish they'd leave their hatred to themselves. I don't go around bashing people, especially those who are essentially defenseless.

Yes, I've never known you to be one to hold grudges, and your certainly not hard to get along with. There's often nothing much going on around here (as was the case today) so I can certainly understand why you might not have felt compelled to post. And of course, I know that you and many others here are very busy and sometimes just don't have time to check in. I don't expect people to do nothing but sit around here. Unlike some people (I won't name names, but you probably know who I mean  :lol: ) I realize that everyone has a life away from here.

Gary i dont hate you at all. Trust me, there are worser creeps that i have to deal one and you're no where near that category.

Also concerning TWCC, i like to tell you WHY i posted that post.

First, of all i was bullied, punched, beaten and cursed all the time during my middle school years. And those people came from the Latin American countries. No one else except them treated me this horribly and that's why i wanted to seek
 revenge.

Speaking of Latin America, i've heard Cuba has some very nice colleges and universities! I dont know why the media complains about Cuba so much but i know several Cuban immigrants and their so nice!!


I wasn't referring to you. I have never had a problem getting along with you. Your behaviors sometimes just get a little agitating, that's all. The people I was referring to have vocally continued to speak out against me, despite the fact that its been almost a year now since I was banned from TWCC. You'd think people (even teenagers) would be grown up enough to just drop it at some point, but apparently that isn't true.  :wacko:
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on January 17, 2008, 05:55:37 PM
Yeah most teenagers dont develop a sense of maturity but here's one thing i dont get:

7:05pm - post with slanderous remarks posted
7:09- Tyler gives another post to not do it agaib
8:33 pm- my account gets suspended.

WHy would it take someone 1 and a half hours to figure that out? Also a month is too long. 2 weeks is sufficient enough. <_<
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 17, 2008, 08:04:12 PM
I'm actually surprised that Tyler did anything at all in regards to banning someone. He usually leaves that to Matt to do.

At any rate, its not my business to comment on their procedures. I'm sure they did what they felt they needed to do.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Tyler on January 17, 2008, 08:14:09 PM
Look, I checked in today. :P


Anyway, let me explain... first, Thunder/LOL's gripe:

The reason it took time for me to suspend, not ban you, was because I had unexpected friends over, and left the computer to tend to them (damn, I just wish they'd call before they come over once in a while LOL)... and even when i came back, I was ruminating on whether or not to take action. But, ultimately, it was a racist comment, which is strictly prohibited.

I usually don't do the banning... but I do suspend, which is what happened. Not to bring up any laid memories or anything Gary, but I do recall suspending you once or twice, though IIRC they were lifted after a few days. :yes:

Guys, I need your answers to a question. do you all feel comfortable posting here, and feel as though your welcome to do so at anytime? I jsut want to figure out why people (my people in particular)seem so much more chatty over in the 2000-current section of TWCC than they seem here.  :unsure:

Perhaps you did suspend me once or twice. I don't remember that, but you would know better than I would.  :P :lol:

That's definitley a big no-no Vic. You would've been swiftly banned here too. I simply can't tolerate that sort of thing. So I don't blame Tyler in the least for deciding to ban you.

Thunder, at least your not permanently banned (which, in retrospect seems a little harsh, given it was only over an argument with Matt, but what is is). I'm never allowed there (as a member) again. How do you think that feels? I can tell you one thing, it was one big reason I opened this site. I figured most of you would join here, so I'd at least have some way of keeping in touch with you all. After all, if it wasn't for this site, there'd really be nowhere else to go and talk with others about TWC.

true. I feel the same. This is the only place i can talk about TWC and i also dont care about pre2000 stuff.

Also about members talking about Current stuff in TWCC, i have noticed several mambers, who also dont have accounts here, frequently post in Current-TWCrelated threads e.g. Nimmy, DJK555, texasstooge, etc.

Also, is TOS set up by the admin or IPB?

Correct. All members are automatically entered into a binding TOS agreement, and all other guidelines two ways: 1) By registering (you are warned to read the TOS before registering), and; 2) By posting daily. From the TWCC registration warning:

Note that by registering, and posting on our forum, you automatically agree to all established board rules, regulations, guidelines, and the Terms of Service agreement.

Thunder, like I've told you before (and I really should take my own advice once in awhile), think before you post. This way you won't get yourself into trouble. Your suspension could have easily been avoided.

BTW, I'm flattered that you wish I'd be able to return to TWCC. Unfortunately, not everyone there feels the same way. I've burned too many bridges I do believe. When you run your mouth you pay the price. And I'm paying dearly.

its good to talk to someone when you need help.

yeah it's def. good talk to someone if you have problems or simply need help. i've keep things bottled up for so long, and look what happened, this past september...I had unwanted flashbacks, at the place I wish it didn't occur. but sometimes shit happens for a reason, the next months after that just continued going down hill. i pushed my friends away from me, i was already separated from my family...i was basically ready to end it. and almost did the first weekend in november, but having the great friends I thought I didn't have then prevented what could have been a tragic situation.

and now, i regret even going to such an extreme act...i'm having the time of my life. i'm starting to get out there and talk to new people. things are somewhat improving.

oh and thanks! 8)

I've spoken with Matt and can confirm that the site is experiencing technical issues due to the fact that he moved it to the same server I'm on. He didn't go into detail though, so that's all I know for now.

I like seeing the site busy and all, but its a shame that it only happens when TWC goes down. But I don't get that, though, because for the most part TWCC's 2000-current boards seem to be roughly as active as this forum is.  :wacko:

There's other ways to become a met without the rigors of math. For example, you could become employed at TWC in some other capacity and then enter their apprentice program. The only requirement then is to go to college to obtain a Broadcast meteorology Certificate, which requires no math. This is the way Jeff Mielcarz is doing it, because he too is no good at math.

well as of yesterday, my life has ended...our production of Fiddler on the Roof is in the makings and we open a week from this up coming Wednesday. Rehearsals are now expanding to surpass 10pm...about 12 hour rehearsals with about an hour and a half break. My Life for the next week:

Today: 10am-10pm
Tomorrow: 1pm-3pm (just guys, we're blocking the bar scene and "to life" (song). wahoo)
Monday (MLK Day - No School): 10am-11pm
Tuesday: 3:30pm-11pm
Wednesday: 3:30pm-11pm
Thursday: 3:30pm-11pm
Friday: 3:30pm-Possibly Midnight
Saturday: 9am-11pm
Sunday: Noon-11pm

So we're basically stuck at the school for 15 hours a day.

of course this is obviously going to keep me away from my computer, so as of today through january 30, i probably won't be on twcc or twct, or any website as much as i have been.

Then as I suspected this is not the same place, for this place is called TV Heads.

I may join TVNT again, but its going to depend on the people. If the idiots are still being,well, idiots, and the admins seem to still be proactively allowing it, then no I probably won't come back. But if things have changed, even a little, then I'll consider it.

I was once a member of TV.com, but that forum went out of control like the TV News Talk, and the moderation was strict. They banned "game" topics and the like. They also don't allow topics where we just chat, such as "Pot Belly Stove" topics (we had similar threads there called "bored threads"). In addition, the site was filled with ads, had tons of bugs, and was often incredibly slow. I gave up being a member there in July 2006, and told the admins to ban me. I have no intention to come back there.

TV newstalk is still bad.  I never post there.  I do go there every now and then, usually to chat with someone from the same market area I live in, so we can rave on our local news stations.  But, usually, I will post if it has anything to do with TWC (sometimes) or something that related to my stations.

cfif is still there.. :rolleyes:

If you at least have a degree in broadcasting, you could probably do weather, only not have title "meteorologist".  There have been a few times here, where they just had a "weather anchor"  If you know enough about weather, you should be okay.

Agreed. That forum use to be a peaceful and quiet place, up until the past year when a whole bunch of people joined and posted the same stuff over and over again. It's a mess now. <_<

i'm not interested in being a meteorologist.  I like to be a storm chaser but math is important b/c you need to claculate your driving distances and if a tornado comes too close to you and you run out of gas, that's a problem. :blink:

I'm glad you changed your username. Its much better than LOL.  :lol:

As for being an LF music coord....you do not need to go into the apprentice program for that..that is for on-air people only. But you would need to be employed by TWC in some way, and you would probably have to be there awhile before they would consider you for the job.

Nope, you didn't understand. There is no BOARD set limit, meaning a limit set by the board software. I DO impose a limit however, which you exceeded, though I'm excusing you due to the fact that you changed your name to something better.

And you can delete the bulletins in your profile you know :rolleyes:

Click on the "all bulletions tab", select the bulletin, and click, remove. I honestly dont know why people would overreact to a bulletin. I didnt say anything mean to you in your comments box or any of your videos

Just b/c I know someone is going to ask... an Act 80 Day is:

Quote from: PA State Dept of Education
Section 1504, as amended by Act 80 of 1969, authorizes the Secretary of Education to grant an exception to the 180-day requirement or to the daily schedule "when in his opinion a meritorious educational program warrants." The requirement for minimum instructional hours for the school year must still be met. For purposes of granting approvals for Act 80 exceptions for a shortened school year or a shortened school day, the Department of Education has defined the following:
Activities which may be approved for an Act 80 exception:
*Parent-teacher meetings,
*Curriculum planning and development,
*Long-range planning,
*In-service programs dealing with new subjects or activities having an impact on the educational program,
*Dismissal at the start of the school year of a partial group of kindergarten students while an orientation program is being conducted for another part of the group of current year kindergarten students,
*Administration of the Professional Development Assistance Program assessment, and
*Evaluation of graduation projects.

It was the first time I've been to a Hardee's in years, and we ordered our food and took a number, then about five minutes later someone brought the food to our table. The food was on a tray, and my fries and burger were in a plastic basket. Do all Hardee's do it like that now?

I went to a Hardee's in Harford County a couple years back, and at that time they didn't do anything like that. I had to wait at the counter for my food, just like at any other restaurant.  :unsure:

Agreed. I had little problems with the schools I went to when I lived in PA. I thought moving would make my life easier, which did for awhile but not anymore. Now I want to move back, but I'm afraid to tell my mom that b/c then she'll probably just give me an attitude.

Arby's food is pretty good (haven't eaten there in awhile though). I love Dairy Queen's ice cream, especially their blizzards. Another good ice cream place is Coldstone.

Alright, heres a fun story..

For the past few hours I have been receiving calls from a Pittsburgh area code..  The calls have sounded like "Hello, hello?" and "Anyone there?" and even on occasion some have said my last name "Hello, can I speak with Mr. or Mrs. Smith?" - Keep in mind this was on my answering machine..

They have been caling since about 4:00PM, so at around 7 I decided to do some research, turns out the calls have been getting everyone:

http://800notes.com/Area-Code.aspx/1-412

Take a gander at that page, as you can see this is a pretty annoying thing! Has anyone else seen this / had this happen to them?

I am still trying to find ways to obtain this person's music but my only hope is to ask Kyle and i doubt he's going to do anything about that. Also in Man Mpwer Music, how much is the license to pay for music? If its less stringent than BMI, then i might as well license it.

My last purchase was for $225.00 but it was during I think a "Holiday" sale. Usualy I think they are for about $300.00. For TV use.

Yeah, this is true. However if I get the station to pay for the music, I will use it at the station and then use it at home with this project. I wouldn't just get the station to pay for it and then never use it there. lol.

Yeah, I can listen to it my self. But I cant play it for others in any way. They dont track it, but they do have a like anaylist team that watches channels and listens to radio stations listening for BMI music and records what time they heard it so they can see if they paid the licencing fees to do so.

Just as a heads up, the cheapest place to get CC Gilmore/Samuel Lincoln music is manpower music. I'm pretty sure that they will once again be the most requested artist.

There were also reports (not sure if it was ever confirmed) that a weak tornado went through my town in 1999. Some damage was reported, including a down tree a few blocks from my house. The power was also out for a few hours.

I also like to get a free download of Photoshop and After Effects but Matt said they usually contain viruses/slow down the computer

No and no. There are no "free" versions of either program. They are both commercial software and cost money.

But, there are some free and open-source alternatives to these programs: Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/) and The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/), respectively.

Dan posted a warning that neither one of us was to post anything not relating to the thread, or we'd get a warning for each such post. I stayed quiet, but poeckerhead said something, and got a warning.

Unfortunately Mike I have to agree with you. And I don't think it's totally the fault of the testers-its Bill's board, and I see him there very rarely. He needs to be around more often. After all, its his board and no one knows better than he does how he wants it moderated.

Question...

I have a USB cord/DVD burner for my camcorder. My dad bought it so I'm confused on how a DVD could connect to a Camcorder. My dad said i can connect the power an a/v cords from the DVD player and camcorder and the quality would be to that of a tv tuner. Is this true becuase i ain't buying it?

Oh I have no doubt that he is, and so are the rest of them. That's one reason I got RID of my admin-only section here. none of us have anything to hide, so there's no reason to give us a place to hide what we talk about. That group of admins over there (including Bill) are the most childish bunch I ever met.  But, as Matt once told me, there's no sense in getting bent out of shape over something you can't see anyway.

OK I told this to Kyle on AIM, and he said it warrants a forum post. So here goes...

I bought two bottles of "Life Water" earlier. It's basically flavored water. Anyway, they were sitting in a bag on top my dresser (about 4' off the  ground). The bag somehow fell off the dresser and when it hit the floor, one of the bottle's caps busted off creating quite a mess. About three quarters of the water came out of the one bottle and landed in the bag. Then when I tried to mop up the mess with a paper towel some of the liquid leaked out of the bag onto the carpet. It was quite a mess, but could've been worse.

I haven't gotten bullied lately, but man last year (in 9th grade) was a disaster for me. There were these people in my bus who were then tenth graders who always bugged me. At first I thought they were just playing around, but then I noticed that they were actually bullies. They called me by this weird name, made fun of the things I do, and tried to get me in trouble. I'm glad I rarely see them anymore.

IMO, bullies are attracted in some way to those they target. The best defense, then, is to make yourself unattractive to them. Walk with confidence and pride. Don't show any vulnerability. Bullies tend to pick on people who display ow self esteem and confidence. Looking back on my high school years, I can say that though I didn't have terrible bully problems, those problems I did have could've been eliminated if I'd have followed that advice.

Bottom line will be blank as it is in the underscan area. Middle line will be for ad scrolls, and in the event of severe weather it will turn red and scroll the warning, and the top line is for current weather conditions.

I was at a thrift store earlier today, and picked up a real nice Mac! Its a Power Mac 6500/250, running OS 8.6. Here are some pics:


(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/Gary335/100_0064.jpg)

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/Gary335/100_0063.jpg)

The first pic is the computer. The monitor did not come with it, but thankfully is able to scan the Mac's range. The keyboard and mouse are from an older Mac that I have sitting in the basement.The computer even has an ethernet port, so i could probably get on the internet with it.

The second pic is an apple external hard drive, which I also found at the thrift store. I assume they both go together, but whether they do or not they work well together, so all is good. The HD is 3GB.

Post by: Mike M on January 29, 2008, 03:47:12 PM
Nice. I didn't know you used Macs. I haven't used any OS older than version 10.x since 2005.

I have a really old Mac II ci from the late 80's/early 90's. It's up on the shelf or attic somewhere, but if I ever get around to taking it out I'll show pics. I haven't turned it on since we got our G3 in 1999.

Yes you can indeed install an OS as new as 9.1 in there. You'll need 32 MB of memory and 40 MB of virtual memory to run it (the computer can hold up to 128 MB).

Additionally, the Mac has the following software:

Adobe Pagemaker 6.5
Aldus Pagemaker 5.0
Gunshy 1.3
Imageviewer 2.0
Adobe Photoshop 4.01
Microsoft Office98

Actually, you may be able to run OS X on that Mac with the help of XPostFacto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPostFacto). They have a chart (http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=Compatibility.html) which details which OS X versions can run on certain Mac models. Right now the 6500 is unsupported, but they say they're working on it. ;)

They have a chart ([url]http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=Compatibility.html[/url]) which details which OS X versions can run on certain Mac models. Right now the 6500 is unsupported, but they say they're working on it. ;)

Yes, but it would work extremely slow on that computer (even with the earliest OS X versions). I couldn't even imagine actually USING OS X on such an old machine. :ph34r:

Yeah, its not important that I use the latest or best OS. I don't want to slow the computer to a crawl.

BTW, I was incorrect about the computer's age. it was actually manufactured in 1999, which would make it somewhere around 9 years old.

Question for you guys: how do I get the Mac on the net? I have my LAN cable plugged into it, but it isn't able to connect to any sites. I access the internet through a LAN. Can the Mac be configured to access the net using the same router my PC's use?

No, you were correct before, it was actually made in 1997, and it's not possible for them to be created in 1999 since pre-G3 Macs had been since discontinued at that time. ;)

Go to the TCP/IP control panel, and configure it to use Ethernet, and set it to configure IPs from the DHCP server. Let me know if that works for you. If not, I have something else to try. :yes:

One of my local TV stations currently have a severe weather map on the screen for a Winter Storm Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.  Only problem is the Winter Storm Warning and the Severe Thunderstorm Warning are the same color.  I seriously doubt those two would be on the map at the same time.

IE. I was using 4.0, but I upgraded to 5.0 thinking it might correct the graphics issues, and indeed it appears to have done so. Web pages now look exactly as they do on the PC.

You have to options here. If your tuner has an S-video input, use that. If not, then use the coaxial out from the receiver to the coaxial in on the tuner.

Also, I forgot to ask... what is the brand and model of the tuner?

That tuner only has a coaxial input. So simply get a coax cable to connect the receiver to the tuner.

Now I ask you, what kind of messed up policy is that?  :rolleyes:

It's actually kind of funny, since he'll axe most of his member base each month under such a policy. Any smart admin knows that no matter how small or large your member base is, only a very small fraction of those members will actually be active. For example, I have 107 members here, but I'd say that only 15-20 actually post. So I'd end up axing roughly 80% of my membership under a policy like that.  :rolleyes:

Yup, got OS 9 on my Mac today. Only problem is I keep getting some kind of error about Norton Antivirus committing an error and to restart and hold shift to turn off extensions. Guess I've gotta find some way to get rid of Norton.  :unsure:

Go to the Apple menu, go to Control Panels, and open the Extensions Manager. Look for (and disable) anything related to Norton Anti-Virus, and then restart. You should be able to now start OS 9 with extensions enabled. :yes:

Is there any way to revert back to OS 8.6? I'm getting a different error message now, something about a bus error. I'm just going to assume that I committed some kind of cardinal sin by not turning Norton off before installing OS 9, as the instructions say to do.  :wacko:

If the computer came with the OS 8.6 CD, then yes, you can revert back to it, but you'd have to reformat the HD first.

Unfortunately, the computer did not come with the 8.6 CD. So I suppose I'm stuck then, because I can no longer get into OS 9 at all, extensions or none.

Try starting the Mac while pressing Command + Option + P + R, and wait until you hear the startup chime for the second time before releasing the keys. That will reset the PRAM in the machine, and that might get it back working. :yes:

I know what you mean now. Yes when i get the tuner i can transfer the tape to computer but i can't record it with a VCR because there's an error in the VCR for recording tapes.

I'm assuming u want the playlist recorded for music? I can use Audacity and record the song(s) with my microphone.

Record the music to your computer. If your TV or receiver has a line out or headphone jack, and your computer has a line in or microphone jack, you can get a stereo mini cable and record the audio on your PC.

Oh I believe it. Now that I really think about it, the Mac I have really hasn't given me as much trouble as my PC does. For the most part things have gone smoothly. This is the first real issue that I've had, and it was likely my fault anyway!   :doh:

What I actually did (I hadn't seen your post beforehand) was performed a clean install of OS 9. It seems to have resolved the issue, as it wiped away all the extensions and other settings from 8.6.  :sunglasses:

Yes, I have heard about ShapeShifter, but that program isn't completely free (IOW, only a free trial is available). I was refering to that you can't change the interface without using software. There's also a free program called TinkerTool, but there are many programs that ignore its settings, such as Firefox and parts of the menu bar.

My desktop computer suddenly decided to not come on this morning. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the storms in our area last night, because I had it unplugged all night. Now, tihs morning, when I press the power button, nothing at all happens. But, what is now happening is the power light in front of the computer is blinking for a split second constantly, and the same thing is happening to the power light in the back of the machine. :wacko: Anybody know what's wrong, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. B)

This REALLY blows...

So we had a 2 hour delay today due to freezing rain and sleet... main roads were cleared by 8:30 so the school didn't cancel... but all the back roads were still iced over. So I started walking to the bus stop, and I walk on a back road (ice covered), and fell FACE FORWARD, ripped a huge ass hole in my jeans, screwed up me knee (it's scratched up and bleeing quite a bit). So I ran home to get the ice/dirt out of the cut, change because now I was soaked (and has a hole in my jeans lol), and missed the bus.

I love two hour delays and all, but today was a horrible experience. LOL. :yes:

Seems like a dead or nearly dead power supply.

Sounds to me (and I've been fixing computers for a VERY long time) like a power supply problem.

And contrary to your belief, it COULD have something to do with the storms. I assume you use an ethernet cable and card to connect to the internet, and if that's the case lightning could very possibly have traveled through that and fried your PC. Yep, you don't need to have it plugged in to get it fried. I've dealt with many computers that were fried via the modem or ethernet connection.

Actually that's what came to my mind, too.

I was going to say temporarily short the CMOS setting on the motherboard, but probably not in this situation.

Yeah I don't think that messing with the CMOS would do any good. :no:

My advice, provided Stephen doesn't want to attempt to tackle the inside of the PC himself, would be to take it to a place like FireDog or Geek Squad, at Circuit City or BEst Buy, respectively.

When something with our computers goes so wrong, and I can't figure it out, I take the computer into a local PC repair shop. Their rates seem to be really inexpensive, I think around $45 an hour, but both times we went to them, it took them only 15 minutes to do their work, so they charged only $11.25.

Depending on if they offer that service. You're using a laptop, right? Then it shouldn't be difficult for you to bring it to their shop.

Nope, it was hooked up to the internet via wireless. Also, that night I turned off the surge protector (after shutting the PC down safely, of course), and unplugged it from the wall, so the monitor which was still hooked up to the PC was NOT getting electrical power. :no:

As far as the power supply, yes, that's actually what first came to mind, due to the symptoms it showed (the flickering power light), but I wasn't exactly sure.

Seriously though, you can't plagarize someone's work for any reason. Its banned from here. Don't let me catch it again, or next time I won't allow you to use graphics of any kind, be it in your sig or anyplace else.

Because its morally and ethically wrong. Again, please refer to the thread regarding this issue in the news board.

EDIT: if you give credit, its fine and not plagarism. But any time you claim that someone else's work is yours, it IS plagarism, and it won't be allowed. And that's final.

When I went to Disney World in 2000 I stayed at a Holiday Inn hotel outside of Orlando. I don't remember looking at TWC when I was there, though. I'd assume they'd had the XL.

I do remember seeing the XL when I was at Ocean City, MD back in 1999. Ocean City was the CC site and it never reported sky conditions when I was there. The forecast city was Salisbury.

I also stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Kissimmee, FL.

The cable provider was Adelphia, the STAR was an IntelliSTAR, the CC was Orlando, and i have never seen a forecast there without rain :wacko:

When I went to Disney World in 2000 I stayed at a Holiday Inn hotel outside of Orlando. I don't remember looking at TWC when I was there, though. I'd assume they'd had the XL.

I do remember seeing the XL when I was at Ocean City, MD back in 1999. Ocean City was the CC site and it never reported sky conditions when I was there. The forecast city was Salisbury.

Yes, OC had the XL until 2003 I believe. They had the 4000 until 1998. The main reason for that is because up until 2003 they were serviced by Conectiv, which is now defunct and a part of Comcast. OC always lagged behind Baltimore when it came to STAR upgrades.

Hello,
 
I am aware that their is a chain of contacts but as this issue seems to warrent direct contact I am choosing to email you directly.
 
It appears that someone has gained access to the TWC Press site (press.weather.com) and has edited page information. It appears that someone has replaced the news item's headers which appear on every page with "Th3 Azad was here" in bold, 72 point, red font. This appears on the right of every page, except for news articles where instead it shows up as the news title as seen here: [url]http://press.weather.com/press_detail.asp?id=177[/url]
 
Thank you for your time,
Kyle Smith

My sites just fine when you have no place else to go, but your back at TWCC now so we take the back burner once again. Why aren't you asking about David Reinstein here? Why aren't you creating threads and posting here like you do there? 

If someone ANYONE could answer that question, I would be happy.

So here's a fun story for everyone....

I was online and I found out a poker game I wanted to see was on a satellite. So I rolled my chair to the other side of the room and went to go power everything up... I went to go drive the satellite dish west to tune to the signal from the satellite, so I punch in the numbers and the dish moves in the backyard. As I turn on the receiver to watch the feed come in, I get presented with this screen:

(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/newcard.jpg)
:blink:

To my knowledge, I have not gotten a new access card. So I throw on my coat, and go to get the mail.. I come back, open an envlope from Echostar which has the access card, I pull out the old card from the receiver and put in the new one at which point I see this screen:

(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/standby.jpg)
This is a normal screen... so I wait... :whistling:

And then I see this screen:
(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/cantuse.jpg)

I found the problem as to why the new card wasn't working shortly after:
(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/DSCF0041.jpg)

Dish was burried under a tonn of snow, and I guess wasn't getting an authorization signal from the satellite :P

So my car is at the end of my driveway, and it gets stuck.  It is kind of aimed toward my neighbors driveway.  Anyway, I kept reversing, and going forward, and reversing, and going forward, until finally I just floored it, and my car FINALLY got enough leverage to drive, only out my neighbors driveway.  Then I backed into my own as if nothing happened.

About ten minutes later....ding dong.....

Well then maybe Gary needs new coadmins (no offense intended, folks)? I'm a co-admin, and have equal rights, responsibilities, and privileges. Dislike it? You can stop coming to TWCC then. 'tis a free country, you know; you can do as you please.

I've always considered that a "co-admin" was more like an assistant administrator. BTW, I think three admins here is enough for now. There's more admins here than at TWCC, yet the activity here is not as high as over there.

Wow, the idiocracy never ceases to amaze me. First of all, Tyler will NOT become a co-admin here at any time unless he resigns his position at TWCC. It would be a severe conflict of interest for he, I, and Matt. Secondly, I have given my co-admins full power to do what they see fit. The only requirement is that they keep me informed of what they are doing. Otherwise, I do not have any other requirements. Third, everyone should know all of this by now.

Finally, I would hope you all wouldn't stick around TWCC if that's the normal attitude.  :wacko:

Winter storm warning here, with 6-10 inches plus expected.  The plus is uncertain, because of the fact that some areas could see thundersnow (and I hope my area is one of them!)

Also, massive job cuts at local station KWQC, as their parent company, Young Broadcasting is suffering..majorly.  Already teh ND and cheif meteorologist of 22 years have been axed, with 25% of the empoyees who are left, leaving tomorrow.  All of the anchors, except 2 of the 8, have been with the station for over 10 years.  And, this station has been the number one station for 28 years, and has only been number 2 for 5 years, and was number one when they first signed on.  Yikes.

What I don't understand, is that Young has KLFY down in Lafeyette, LA, and has an anchor who has been there since 1969, and hasnt canned her.  The only stations I've heard cuts at have been KWQC, WTEN in Albany New York, and WKRN in Nashville.

According to the New York Times, Congress has just passed an economic stimulus package to the tune of $168 billion. The terms of the package are:

-Rebates of $300-$1200 for taxpayers
-Payments of $300 to people who paid no taxes, but earned from Social Security or veterans benefits

1)  They should never have taxed us that amount in the first place
2)  It's not a stimulus.  It's like jamming a piece into a puzzle that doesn't fit.

Even if you do have to get them from your cable or satellite company, you wind up paying less. And there are other options besides getting one from the cable company. You can get a Tivo just about anywhere, and if you DO have satellite many of the Best Buy/Circuit City type stores sell DVR's for satellite TV.

I bought* a Comcast PVR for I think around $400 new. A PVR and a DVR are the same thing. Basic level DVD recorders go for about $150.. My DVR system from 360 Systems cost about 6 grand :P

* You can buy a cable box, or you can rent it.. I think the rental on this unit (Motorola 6412) was under $20 a month, purchase price is around $400.

$400 isn't too bad. Especially when you consider that, depending on how long you rent a DVR you could wind up paying much more than that.

To a certain extent. DDR's and DVR's are the same thing. The only real difference is that DDR's are used by people in the media, and DVR's are used by people at home.

DDR's also usualy have *way* more recording space and abilities where as a PVR can only record smaller amounts and simply plays it back.

Most DVR's can record 160GB meaning about 150 hours of recordings where as most DDR's have 8 SATA Raid drives at 500GB a peice.. Meaning exactly 3.90625 terabytes of recording space which is about 166.666667 days of recording.

Let me detail whats in the picture:
(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/DSCF0066.jpg)
On the left wall you can see a wall covered in sheets, all of those sheets are listings of satellite feeds and other satellite information.

On the left shelf is a laptop, this laptop is acting as network control right now for my weathercaster systems, its got Windows XP SP1 and no updates, it just runs one program and communicated via parallel cable to another computer. You can also see a pop can stash to the left of that laptop :P .

To the right of the laptop is a monitor, that monitor is connected to the white tower computer on the right hand side of the picture. This computer handles feeds and videos coming from the news wire, it basically is in control of any video coming in to my house. It will then ither send the video to a TV set, or send it over the network to other computers (such as my laptop or editing machine) where I can watch the video or record it.

To the right of that monitor are 3 cable boxes, just used for signal processing and one box is for a news feed :P

To the right of the cable boxes are 2 computers and a monitor the bottom computer is the feed computer and the top computer is my DVR system, also as of March that top computer will become a computer for viewing / recording TWC only. The monitor on top of that computer will show what ever the computer below it is viewing.

Moving up to the left of that monitor, are 3 big monitors.. The right monitor shows the desktop of network control for weathercaster. The middle monitor is hooked up to my digital cable box and I watch regular TV on it, right now; The Simpsons. :P The monitor on the far left shows what ever I plug in to it as it is a test bus (monitor).

On the rack above the monitors are 3 VTR's. They are all hooked up to one another and record feeds and cable TV.

On the very top rack are 3 satellite receivers (StarChoice, Bell ExpressVu [Pulls in music feed!] DirecTV) and 1 cable box (Rogers). There are also 2 speakers (Left and Right channels) that play sound from a source I select. There are also some tapes. Anddd... a USB Christmas Tree I plug in to my cable box during the holidays :P You can also see in the top left of the picture I have Christmas lights strung up for the holiday spirit in Feb :P

All of this equipment is controlled by a digital patch board, meaning I have a peice of software that will route everything where I tell it to. Like tell "SATRECEIVER2 to TVSET3" or "SATRECEIVER2 to DVRRECORING" Its all digitally routed.

On the desk, cable box remote control, HP dv2000 laptop, 3 cell phones, a PILE of wires, and an easy button.

Well...I would like to share an "undertaking" that I'll soon be taking part in.  I've finally decided to build my own computer.  The laptop I've had for two years now has almost ground to a halt, and the hard drive is a little too small for what I'll be doing in the future and what I've been doing. Namely:

 - web site development
 - light software development
 - Flash design and programming
 - my TV tuner
 - gaming
 - 3-D modeling (mainly for personal use)

Here's some of the stuff I want to get.  I think a couple of you are a little more versed in this stuff than I am...maybe some advice?

Case (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6801339&type=product&id=1091099928385)
Processor + Motherboard (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3564520)

I've already got a video card, hard drive(s), and a DVD drive.

Congrats. Welcome to the other side...  :ninja:

Anyway, the case looks fine (reminds me of a Compaq case), but that processor and motherboard are extremely outdated. The AMD 939 architecture is ancient in computing terms. If you're going to go AMD, look look for a socket AM2 motherboard and processor. And I HIGHLY recommend getting a dual core processor like an AMD Athlon 64 X2. Pretty much all computers sold today have multiple cores. If you plan to do any gaming or video editing, dual core WILL pay off.

Gwhahahaha...the dark side.   :lol:

Yeah...I was looking right away more at price, speed, and size of the board (need several slots for cards)...figured someone better would help me with "quality"...lol...anyway...I found this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3559702) motherboard/CPU combo.  Kinda leans toward what you were talking about with the dual core (I haven't personally seen a difference between AMD and Intel processors...so for me it's kind of a price thing), and it is a socket AM2 board.

Also kinda like it takes DDR2 memory...cheaper from what I've seen so far.   ;)

I disagree with Billy. Those components you chose look just fine. Here's a tip-when you look for computer parts NEVER judge by age alone. A component that may be outdated may be just the thing you need and nothing more.  :sunglasses:

That looks like a better motherboard and processor combination. I notice that it's an ECS motherboard, which is the same brand I use. It's a pretty solid board. I also believe that my PC takes the same DDR2 800 memory. It is indeed cheap, especially compared to just a few years ago. At Christmas, I picked up another GB of RAM for something like $30 from NewEgg.

I'd still say go for the Athlon 64 X2. You never know, you might get really involved in 3D modeling and the dual core CPU will really come in handy. If you want to save a few bucks now, sure go for the older Socket 939, but you might be kicking yourself a few years from now if you want to upgrade to something better.

I'm not necessarily saying that the Socket 939 is terrible, but the AM2 would be a better choice because it's more recent socket, thus it will generally have more support. But, IMO, no matter which motherboard you choose, get a dual core processor.

And i dont have a USB cable to connect the camcorder and computer so i'm going to buy 2 things tomorrow:

TV Tuner and

Cable for camcorder-computer hookup
Wait, if you don't have a USB cable for your camcorder, how did you get all your other videos on to your computer?
The ones with a crappy quality?
Yeah. You shot those with your camcorder, right?

Hey thanks guys.  When I meant "I think two guys...." I specifically thought of Billy and Gary...gosh was I right.

After looking over the boards, I think I'll go with the newer one I found (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3559702) because, after doing some figuring, the cost will wind up being lower, even though the board + CPU is more expensive, due to memory being cheaper.

Note to Gary:  That first one that I found was just a earmark for me to start the search.  That board wasn't set in stone at all yet.

Now for two more questions:  will I need to be sure to calculate watts from the power supply and figure it with the board and stuff?  or is that if you're really gonna add extras to the supply (ie lights, extra fans, etc.?)

Glad to be spurring conversation in the boards!  If this is too long-winded for the Stove, you can snip this off and set it by itself if needed (everything about the PC...not just this post.)

The power supply really isn't a huge concern, unless you are indeed planning on putting alot of extra bells and whistles in/on the computer. 300-400 watts should be plenty.

For power supplies, I'd generally think that anything ranging from around 400 to 500 watts should be sufficient. You don't really want to skimp on the power supply because if it shorts out or fails, your entire system could be trashed.

400 is plenty.Any power supply can short out. 500 is still acceptable I suppose, but why spend more than necessary?

Because Matt mentioned adding lights and extra fans. If you get enough of those, they can really start to suck up extra power.

He didn't say HE was going to. He just asked if he had to consider it under any circumstances other than that. And the answer stands as no. Unless he;s going to add bells and whistles there's no need to go all out on a power supply.

Yeah, fans are good. Having an extra fan won't hurt at all. And they don't take much power either, so it won't effect what kind of power supply you need. Generally speaking, 400 should be sufficient, but indeed 500 would be acceptable. It would offer you more power in case you decide to add more bells and whistles later on down the road.

My Compaq PC (which I bought in late 2005), has a single core Athlon 64 3500+, so the processor Matt was thinking about getting is probably not that outdated.

Without a doubt! I've never owned any name brand computer, but in all the years of repairing PC's I've worked on many, and every time I've come away hoping to NEVER have to work on one again. Especially Compaq's and HP's. Those are just nightmares to work on.

LOL, yeah but before you can worry about the parts you've actually got to GET INTO the computer, which, especially with Compaq's, HP's, and Dell's is often a task in and of itself. I don't know how more modern HP's and Compaq's (Dell's too) are, but the older one's used what was called a riser board to house the computer's PCI and ISA cards instead of seating them directly on the motherboard itself. So basically all the cards were in there horizontally-good luck unscrewing and removing them. And if you had to go all the way to the motherboard, you needed to remove all the cards and the riser board first. Very complicated computers to work on indeed.

Those are novice jobs. Anyone with two eyes and two hands can do them. Have you ever tried removing a motherboard entirely from an HP or Compaq? How about a hard drive (I've seen them put in some of the most illogical spots inside HP's and Compaqs and Dell's)? That's where you run into difficulties. Replacing a CD-Rom or putting in a TV-Tuner is run of the mill in any computer.

My G3 is pretty easy to replace things.

My iBook on the other hand (as with most other laptops) is difficult to even add memory to it. You have to take off the keyboard, and unscrew several things to access the memory slot.

Back in 2005 I replaced the motherboard and hard drive on an old HP machine. It was so tight working in the case, that I hardly had any room to move around. Also, I looked at my uncle's Gateway before, and it took us nearly 10 minutes to figure out how to open the dang case. I hate those OEMs who make it next to impossible to even get into the case to do anything.

Oh yeah, i can't tell you how many times I've had OEM machines that I basically did nothing but stare at for 10 or 20 minutes, scratching my head, wondering what to do. That's why I said early that opening the case on some computers is a job in and of itself.

True. That's the one thing PC's have that Mac's don't-the ability to build and customize your own computer. With Mac's you have to buy what they make. You can change it yourself, but you can't build your own Mac.

Yes indeed. Every Comcast office houses a headend.

Yeah, that's true. You may actually end up paying less because if you had a Mac you would have a lesser chance of spending hundreds of dollars getting your computer repaired.

Gosh, I would NEVER spend that much, even on my PC.  :shocked:

Actually, no, you couldn't. They don't generally allow the public into the back.

Each office pretty much has everything it takes to run a cable company-clerks to take payments, call centers to field calls, the headend which actually is the heart of the operation, etc.

You are mistaken. The board began rebounding LAST month before the changes were even made, which I might add you vehemently denounced.

And the same can be said for this month. We were on pace for another good month before Matt even made the changes, which again you vehemently denounced.

Kinda hard NOT to have a credit card these days. I wouldn't want to carry around tons of cash. You're not going to buy a computer or a car are whatever in cash. That's just crazy. You have to know the limits, you can't just go on shopping sprees. You'd think it would be common sense, but yet more and more people are in debt.

That's true. My parents seem to abuse their credit cards. If they were to go to the supermarket, they'd use their credit cards even if the total is under $10, and I know they have cash with them. Ridiculous.

But that's why they make bank accounts and debit cards. It alleviates the problem of carrying cash without the need for a credit card.

It will probably be permanent, because the project won't end just because a public release is achieved. However, I remind you that the title comes with hardly any power, and is more for distinguishing its holders as beta testers than moderators.

Yea, I've observed credit cards are safer to deal with, because the credit card companies can easily cancel the card, and you wouldn't have to be held liable for anything.  Debit cards, on the other hand, can be just a teensy bit more riskier because if you don't catch the predator in time you can easily get your whole bank account drained, and then you have to go through the whole process of getting your funds back, which isn't easy.

However, debit cards are much better because it is actually backed by something, forcing you to watch what you spend.

Well, there's always the fact that you are building your credit score by using a credit card, as well.

I'm not against having one credit card.  However, my motto is "Stupid people spend their money as soon as they get it"

And used responsibly that's a great way to build your credit. But that temptation to CHARGE IT!!!! is always there. Whereas when you don't use credit you can't be tempted because when your money's gone, its gone.

If the heater at school works properly, you'll survive  ;)  They have delayed 6 schools in the area today, becauase temps are 5 below, with wind chills near 20 below.  It's a big deal, but not THAT big of a deal.

I've gone to school when the actual air temperature was -10..with the windchill lower than that.

Me neither. That forum is a disaster. I occasionally view that forum as a guest, but I don't remember logging on there in at least a month. Bill logs on there often but has not posted any guidelines to end the tragic posts.

Spring is absolutely my favorite month. Easter is actually before my birthday this year, which is extremely weird! And its a week after St Patrick's Day. The month of March is going to fly by, seeing as we have standardized testing almost the entire month. My birthday is on the 25, over spring break, which is nice, casue i never have to go to school on my birthday.

SPRING!!!

I have been punched and kicked often too. And i LMAO when i gave a wedgie to the same kid who punched me. :lol:
You're not alone. I've been called a fat *** several times myself. Now it's mostly just kids who harass me for homework answers, because they know I actually do well in school.

Being fat is a medical concern, but in no means a way to be picked on for the way you look <_<

Personally, I find that warning to be very helpful. it gives you the chance to view replies that were made while you were posting, which in turn allows you to determine whether you a) want to continue on, b) want to change your post in some way, or c) want to omit your post altogether.

its not anything as bad as gil mentioned it, basically because he hasn't been to a school with rich snobs. alamo heights is the place for rich snobs, nice houses all around...every rich kid complaining that their car is only a year old and want another one. they have discipline, yes. just aren't satisfied with what the got, and don't think about those who can't even afford those kind of things.

I never dealt with rich folks, because I lived in a middle class area. And its probably a good thing too, because I really don't like rich people. It seems their number one goal in life is to brag about what they have and how much it cost, and that really rubs me the wrong way.

COmposers include Westar, DeWolfe Music. and a few others that wxmancanada can help me out
We mainly use Westar and DeWolfe right now.. In the older days (Post 2000) we used some other compaines like NM and some really unknown production companies.

You actually got a reply from him? Wow.
Yep. I emailed him yesterday, and he replied today. I asked for the Nov. 2006 playlist, too, and he said he didn't have it. He sent me the Jan. 2007 and Mar. 2007 playlists, as well.

If you are willing to pay $6,500. You could only buy one from ebay, and you will probably never see one there. You will also need authorization to run it, which you can't get.

No. You can't even buy them from TWC. I don't think they issue XL's anymore. And even if you did get one, which is close to impossible, you wouldn't be able to run it.

Exactly.  Really no need to explain why, though.

And an update:  I went with the socket 939 board (the first one I linked to) because a) the price was dang good for the board and processor ($109 v $220 with the other one), and b) still good quality (2.40ghz v. 2.80).

It now comes Monday.  Hopefully.   :thrilled:

Didn't they go bankrupt or something? They've been slowly going out of business since the 90's.

I bought my TV Tuner at CompUSA, and the store near me closed down about a month later.

I'm seriously getting pissed at today's meteorologist. they are so f-ing inaccurate 100% of the damn time. the national weather service reported a 100% of rain today, and we got nothing.

local media outlets reported from 70-80%. they too are quite inaccurate all the time.

nothing fell out of the sky today, ANYWHERE in Bexar County. how retarded <_<

we're better off with a damn monkey doing the weather, i'm sure they'll do a lot better.  :rolleyes:

Has anyone heard of a Slingbox?

I spent a friggin 240 bucks on it in Circuit City today. Its a TV Tuner that you can carry anywhere and get a signal from half a mile away. So basically i can record an IS from ny neighbor's house without a problem.

Installation will come Wed and i hopefull will get some clips up.

I also was about to buy the WInTV HVR 950 but i will later if the Slingbox fails because i like to try it out. I can also TWC on my cell phone!

Sorta.

You can watch live and recorded shows and movies with it and you dont need a coaxial cable for it. I can put the thing in my neighbor's house and record the IS straight from home!

my mother says just because she doesn't get highlights i should either. wtf? its not your hair, get over it. even if they still disapprove of it, i'm going to get it behind their backs and piss them off even more.

It depends. What is severe? Is there lots of thunder and lightning? Do you feel that continuing to leave your computer on would put it at risk?

Bottom line: you need to use your own common sense. We can't tell you. If you think its bad enough to warrant turning off the computer, the answer is yes. If not, then it is no.

Just because you have a surge protector doesn't mean you're 100% out of the woods. A REALLY bad storm can still get through that surge protector. So, you should ALWAYS shut down (and unplug) your PC during a thunderstorm (particularly the bad ones). It's always better to be safe than be sorry. :yes:

Well nothing has happened yet, so why do i have any reason whatsoever to worry? Power surges are very rare here (whether its weather related or not). Once something gets damaged, THEN i'll be much more catious. Until then, absolutely nothing wrong. Everything is on a surge protector anyway. (the expensive ones too)

You always need to be careful in case something like that happening. Leaving your computers plugged in during an electrical storm only makes the chances of your PCs being fried, more likely. :yes:

It was the only storm cloud, and it was rotating, but it wasn't a funnel. I have a pic of it.

I think a tornado can spin off 2 tornadoes and form back together, but i've never heard of 2 tornadoes from seperate storms colliding.

Gil, you clearly aren't old enough yet to formulate mature, common sense conclusions. We'll check back with ya in a year. You know the saying, another year older another year wiser.  ;)
Where do you get off? You seem to be able to criticize others and their capabilities, but what can possibly describe you? Let's just say if someone actually had the guts to say it (and i sure as hell know a hanfull of people here who think the same way), they would be banned indefinitely....

You better watch it. You're never going to get anywhere in life by being a :censored: to everyone you meet.

Think about it, even though you're going to delete this post. (how mature of you)

Funny thing. I bet ALL of those other people fall on the list of people (made up of about 5 people) that I dislike. Which leaves 115 others that I like and get along with just fine. In plain english, its not me, its you(s). And quite frankly, I wouldn't spend a moment worrying about anyone who would side with you.

Let me explain something to you. I have known you for what, about 4 years now? And you have never, repeat never, shown an ounce of maturity, thought, or control in anything you say.

I don't act like a  :censored: to everyone here, only to those for whom normal behavior doesn't cut it.

EDIT: LOL, I just realized what you said. A HANDFUL of people? Out of 115? Over 500 if you count everyone at TWCC? Come on, your kidding right? I'm supposed to believe that the handful of people here who dislike me (people like YOU) are right, and I'm wrong? You must think your talking to a real big moron.  :rolleyes:

The newer Wal-Marts around here (built within the last 5-10 years) have Subways, and the older ones have McDonald's.

I never go to any low-end department stores (K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc) to buy clothes other than socks or underwear. The stores I usually go to buy clothes include Sears, JCPenney, Old Navy among others (mostly stores you'd find in indoor shopping malls).

Now that I can agree with. The place is far too congested for my liking-and at the Wal-Mart's around here that isn't just limited to people. Many around here are also very congested with boxes in aisles, making some nearly impossible to navigate. I thought stocking wasn't supposed to occur until AFTER the store closes, but I guess the one's around here don't care.  :rolleyes:

I agree with Dan completely about Wal-Mart. I hate shopping there, though. Its like the biggest disease-breeding facility out there. I much prefer Target. :yes:

I never buy clothes there, though. I usually buy from brand name stores, such as those in the mall.

Even in that case stocking should take place VERY late at night so as to leave the store as uncluttered as possible during hours when people may be in the store.

I guess its because your an admin, and you have to feel big and strong, when perched high up on your pedestal. You're very disrespectful to people around here, and yet you wonder why there isn't much activity. Isn't that pretty crazy? Have you ever heard the saying "What goes around, comes around"? You might want to heed that saying, before your forum is empty. And don't even talk about maturity, because you have absolutely none.

Just something to consider...

Gil, I have no reason to complain about the activity around here now. Maybe your too stupid to have realized it, but things are BOOMING right now. Trust me, you've got nothing on me. Nothing. I treat most people here with lots of respect. But people like you aren't deserving of respect. Your so high on yourself that you think you should just be given respect without the need to earn it. Why not try doing something respect worthy. Shutting your mouth might be a good place to start.

Let me explain something to you. I have known you for what, about 4 years now? And you have never, repeat never, shown an ounce of maturity, thought, or control in anything you say.

I don't act like a  :censored: to everyone here, only to those for whom normal behavior doesn't cut it.

EDIT: LOL, I just realized what you said. A HANDFUL of people? Out of 115? Over 500 if you count everyone at TWCC? Come on, your kidding right? I'm supposed to believe that the handful of people here who dislike me (people like YOU) are right, and I'm wrong? You must think your talking to a real big moron.  :rolleyes:
Well whether you dislike them or not, they are people, and members here. And no, its certainly more than 5 people, most of them are frequent posters here, believe it or not. And if they all feel the same way I do, then it's NOT US. It is You. THe thing is, you don't seem to have much respect for people around here. I guess its because your an admin, and you have to feel big and strong, when perched high up on your pedestal. You're very disrespectful to people around here, and yet you wonder why there isn't much activity. Isn't that pretty crazy? Have you ever heard the saying "What goes around, comes around"? You might want to heed that saying, before your forum is empty. And don't even talk about maturity, because you have absolutely none.

Just something to consider...

Gil, I have no reason to complain about the activity around here now. Maybe your too stupid to have realized it, but things are BOOMING right now. Trust me, you've got nothing on me. Nothing. I treat most people here with lots of respect. But people like you aren't deserving of respect. Your so high on yourself that you think you should just be given respect without the need to earn it. Why not try doing something respect worthy. Shutting your mouth might be a good place to start.
Case in point. :D

No, not at all. They are geared toward enthusiasts and hobbyists like Billy said. When I have to work on computers, I often go there to buy solder, and other little circuit board related odds and ends. I've also bought a scanner (radio scanner, that is) from there. Obviously, these are things that you can't walk into Best Buy and buy.

Mostly local restaurants. They have a Chinese and Japanese place, a Charlies grilled subs, Subway (which isn't in the food court but in the mall), Chick-Fil-A, and soon a Taco Bell. There's also numerous other restuarants that are close to the mall, including Quizno's and Ruby Tuesday's.

Oxford Valley Mall up in Langhorne, PA also has tons of restuarants (local and national chains) in and around the mall.

eck, I HATE RadioShack.  All they do is heckle you to buy something there as soon as you walk in the door.  If they're not heckling you, then they just stand there and watch.  Plus they are way overpriced for me, IMO, and I'm not talking about little diodes and stuff (I don't buy that), but everything else in the store.
I don't have that problem when I go there. They just ask if I need help with anything and then they just leave me alone.

I wish they would do that.  They just keep lusting after my wallet like wolves.
I lost my wallet once. Then i stopped carying my wallet.
Reminds me of the funny wallet-related incident that happened to me today. Was sitting in Physical Geology, and we were talking about the Periodic Table of the Elements, and the professor mentioned all of the places where you could find a Periodic Table, and someone mentioned the credit card-sized wallet version. Then my professor, who is a joker, pulls our his wallet and gets out the credit card-sized Periodic Table and asks if velcro wallets are still in fashion, and everybody laughed. Then we had an in-class activity to do, and the professor said everybody find a Periodic Table, and I pull my velcro wallet out and get out my credit card-sized Periodic Table, and then the professor said to me "I always knew we were soul mates." :lol:

TPIR:  Required to even be in the audience is 18.  Also 18 is the requirement for contestant selection.  Also...you can't be on any version of TPIR in the last 10 yrs (there's a very unique story that goes with that).  The closest to an all-teen edition was a college-student only Million-Dollar Spectacular, which, in TPIR's mind, laid the big egg...only one game was won, and I believe there was a double overbid in the showcase.  In other words, a disaster.

Millionaire:  18 yrs old.  And I prefer Meredeth's version to Regis's.

Wheel:  18 yrs old as well.

After looking over a recap of that episode, one game was won (Bonkers), there was not a double overbid in the showcase (the differences were $57,235 and $62,202 each), and not one drop of $420 or $69.  Oh well...those are still popular bids when idiot college kids get on.

I'm not sure if it was an option for Windows 95, or if it was just some piece of extra software that came with our PB, but it was a kid-friendly version of Windows called "Kiddows". Very fun.

We were actually early with our first XP computer. We bought our HP in late 2002, but didn't set it up until about 2 months later. Until then, we were running Windows 95.

If its the same as the beginning of his e-mail address, then its the same one.

So the music was composed in 1994?  Wow

The songs I have by Trammell says that the year is 1995, not 1994.

It makes sense that the songs are 14 years old, because that's when a few of Trammell's tunes (not the LF tunes) showed up in non-LF uses.

Mike, who would know better than Trammell when he made the music?  :D

Ya'll wanna hear a whacky story?

Okay, on the night of July 17, 2006 at 10pm there was a tornado warning for Bergen Co, NJ. The temp was 92 degrees at the time. (FOR REAL!!), so when my uncle heard it was raining he grew excited and opened the windows, door and turned up the radio. I was watching TWC while listening to the song "Peace with Myself" by Nestor Torres on the lf when all of a sudden the electricity went out. My aunt grew furious and closed the windows. I tried to close the door and when all of a sudden, it slammed shut all by itself and of the glasses broke. I RAN and said "OMG, there's a twister!".

I slept and we had no electricity all night which caused a hot and sweaty night. Then when I woke up I found out a derecho hit the area and knocked a big tree 200 yards away from us. WABC 7 said the winds in our area that time was around 54mph. So there's my story :P
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

Yes, you are correct Stephen.

Opening windows to avoid broken glass is pointless because you won't avoid it. Also, it also straight line winds to blow into your home, which could cause very serious damage. You should always keep your windows shut and stay away from them.

The science behind the age-old myth is that the pressure differences when the windows are closed are very different between the inside and outside. WHen the pressure build up, your house "explodes". People thought that if you open the windows, the pressure wont build up , saving the house. NO idea whether its true.

The science behind the age-old myth is that the pressure differences when the windows are closed are very different between the inside and outside. WHen the pressure build up, your house "explodes". People thought that if you open the windows, the pressure wont build up , saving the house. NO idea whether its true.

It's not.  ;)

I was rolling my eyes because I wondering how people could live like that. Being in a bubble for your entire lives is not normal. This kid, David Vetter, had an immunosuppressed diease at birth where he could not get close to anyone. Ig he had to be outside the bubble, he had to wear and astronaut suit. The only time he was out of the bubble, unrestrcited, was when he got pneumonia which he died in 1984 :(

He then shot the kid and ran. It's awful with the crime in Killadelphia. People should not be hurt in minor cases as snowball fights.

I want you to watch that video, and tell me what is extremely odd/weird about it.

Also...first video recorded with my new tuner.   :thrilled:
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on February 29, 2008, 04:17:18 PM
I like it!

What's the model of your tuner? It produced a nice and sharp picture quality.

What's the song?

Sorry, I don;t see anything weird other than it being recorded on 2/29
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on February 29, 2008, 04:18:54 PM
Let's see..I noticed several possible oddities, though I don't know if any of them is what you had in mind. First, the black bar seemed like it was at least twice its usual size. Second, there also appeared to be a bar at the top. Third, I saw a schoolday forecast for 5PM today, which seems a tad unusual as well.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: tpirfan28 on February 29, 2008, 04:23:45 PM
 - It's a ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI...is HD ready (will be getting an HD antenna tomorrow)
 - Don't know the song
 - The bar is due to the encoding into FLV format and the ratio of the video to the player (it's fine on the raw clip)
 - Donno about the bar on the top
 - Yah...the schoolday thing is odd, but it always happens on my clip.

...and it's none of these.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

The bar on top is the VBI. You're actually seeing the data thats going into the STAR. It's the same data that controls the STAR. My TV Tuner shows it, as well as the one in my Mac.

I think it's good that it shows it. If it doesn't, you have a crappy TV Tuner. :D

Another reason to hate Microsoft. They always find new ways to piss the crap out of people. Whenever i install XP, that music is always really loud, and theres no option to disable it or turn down the volume, UNTIL you go completely through the setup.

I think I just killed an old computer. We got this old PC from like 1987 from a relative nearly 10 years ago. I remember using it back then and it had some version of DOS. Then it lived in out basement for probably the past 6 or 7 years. I decided to pull it out tonight, and set it up. When it booted, I got some kind of "memory size error" and the only thing I could do was get into the BIOS. So I was playing around with some of the settings in there, and then the computer randomly and suddenly shut down. Whenever I tried flipping the power switch in the back the LEDs on the computer and keyboard would flash for a half second then turn off. After trying to boot it back up for 10 minutes, I got frustrated and just unplugged it.

I wouldn't be surprised. I know very little about this computer. It is a "VTI Personal Computer." It must be a custom computer or something because I can find no information on it online. I know it has a 12 MHz 286 because I saw "80286" on the boot screen, and a sticker with "12MHz" on the front. It also has 3.5" and 5.25" diskette drives, and a key-operated power switch on the front.

Well everyone, the Pot Belly Stove's days are numbered. Just a mere 19 days till spring and The Front Porch return.  :dance: :dance: :dance:

However, it is currently locked, which means that only one of us admins or mods can open it back up again. Sorry Mike. I know how much you love to start our seasonal threads.  :P :lol:

Re: Comcast still sucking

Today was the IHSAA (high school sports) girls basketball state finals.  The "indiana cable network" (aka Comcast not named Comcast) was going to air it on a digital subchannel for the first time, as opposed to an analogue channel.  So I phone in Comcast, and they said they were going to try and do some sort of "reverse blackout" for the home team's markets (available to everyone in the home area, but digital to everyone else).  ME = home team's area.

Come today and the game, nothing.  There's been hate letters to Comcast in the letters to the editors in the local papers about this...EVERYONE hates them.

I'm seriously considering starting a "Comcast Sucks" thread over here, like I did at TWCC.  Only seems appropriate.  :whistling:

I know that, but I thought that Matt banned you from seeing it on an individual basis (you can do that).

I always add new ones, so its very possible that I'll eventually add something you like (though I won't hold my breath). I sometimes CHOOSE not to do certain things, for the sake of maintaining some level of individuality. I don't want this site to have every little thing that TWCC has.

You must be adding wrong or something. I know you haven't spent much time here at all. You spend (if your lucky) ten to twenty minutes here each time you log in, and most of the time you visit maybe three or four times in the span of a week.

Hmm, that doesn't sound right.  The days I'm in I spend more than that.

Even so, considering, that's about four months worth of time, and that added to only 2 days worth?

Vic, your login time has to be over like... a month, at least!

On to another topic, as some of you might know I am a Meteorologist, how ever I do not currently work in the field. I will be starting forecasting from home shortly and hope to get back in to the Meteorology field sometime soon, but again I would like to start forecasting at home and get back on my game. My expertise is in the devlopment and tracking of severe weather.c

I have decided to build a peice of software to assist me in forecasting severe weather devlopment and have decided to put a live feed of the software online so you folks can see what I am doing. This peice of software was built by me and has taken about 4 weeks to make, and I am still in the process of adding features / de-bugging code daily. This program is similar to the ones you will see where they can click a storm and track its path, devlopement and such.

You can see the feed courtsey of Mogulus here: http://mogulus.com/myksmi Right now I am at work and the system is on at home I have it focused on IL as thats where most of the action is happening, but during normal circumstances it will rotate radars and satellites between active weather hot spots, other times I will be in control and you will be able to see me control it and focus and track systems...

I'm looking for a name for it, any ideas? I'm thinking "The KSMI Weatherlab" or something like that?

I am currently working out a deal with FOX in Chicago for them to use my feed in their weather center, for what I have no clue but they contacted me regarding it. I'll keep you posted. Let me know what you think!

Funny story: So I've been getting e-mail from Felipe every day for about a week, asking if he can come back. I've been ignoring them under the guise that I blocked his e-mail address and his messages aren't reaching me. He claims he changed and deserves another chance (where have we head that before?)Well I got tired of it today and completley blocked him from viewing the site or forum. So about an hour later I get a message, and this is what it said:

Oh yeah, he's changed.  :rolleyes:  :rofl2: :rofl2:

Hmm, he censored the "h" word but not the "f" word (not Felipe)?  :huh:

Also, it appears that Felipe is back on YouTube under the name "FelipeIsTWCMusicFan." So to everyone, be vigilant, and guard your videos!

The board censored the h word. It used some other word (I believe it was "target") in its place, so I decided to just censor it using stars so that you all would know what the word was.  ;)

Just what the hell are you talking about Thunder? you've got me so confused its not even funny. First you ask why this site has so many ads that have nothing to do with TWC. It has no such ads. I no longer have Google ads either, but even when I did those ads were specifically taylored to this site and contained no spyware or adware.

My personal opinion is that that theory is 100% grade A bologna. If I were to go over to TWCC right now, the current TWC boards would be bustling. If that's the case, than so should it be here.
Actually, it isn't that active. I'd say it's about as active as this one right now.

Dan, what the hell do you call that then? He's saying its just as active here as there. And this board (aside from the off topic boards) has seen 0 activity.

I guess the biggest thing to ask yourself, is it really worth it? Spending $200 on a computer doesn't seem logical to me. Especially seeing as a new one would be a more sensible decision. Unless its a computer from within the last year or so, the chances of it going obsolete in a year or two would be something to think about.

Even the antenna? In all of the notebooks i've worked on, the antenna has always been at the top of the screen, with a cable running down the side.

Whenever it goes into sleep mode for the second time after a reboot, it never recovers, so I have to hold down the power button and restart it.

Something weird happened. Yesterday I kept connecting to my internet which failed to come. (which is why i didnt log in last night), So i checked the DSL modem, and the lights were blinking. To fix it, i had to turn it off and turn it on again. I did it three times and still i failed to connect to the internet. Then this morning, i found out of the cables were disconnected which i didn't find out yesterday :huh:

I wasted all my time for nothing  :rolleyes:  :blushing:

A tree branch fell in out back yard, and it stuck directly in the ground, then right after, we had a really close lightning strike. The rumble of the thunder actually knocked things off shelves!

Just import any picture of a head, no matter how big or small. You edit out the head while at JibJab. It may sound difficult, but it's actually pretty easy to do. :yes:

10-15 minutes, that includes getting the heads cut out and ready for the movie. However, if you have all the heads made, then it only takes a couple of seconds and clicks. :)

Post by: lfmusiclover on March 10, 2008, 08:58:13 PM
Yes, somebody will open it on March 20th, the first day of spring. Only one person has PM'd me to tell me they'd like to do the honors, so its going to that person right now.

Theres a pressure point located near your sternum, right where the 2 sides of the rib cage come together. If you sort of massage is and relax, it cures hiccups. Works for me every time.

It says he was abandoned as an infant by his parents along the river.

Nashville musician Eddie Reasoner is definitely among the latter. As an infant, Reasoner was abandoned by his parents in a church on the bank of the Cumberland River, and he grew up fascinated with the dying river culture

I've just come across someone trying to sell The Adobe CS3 Master Collection on craigslist for $700. Does this seem legit? I'm emailing the seller to see if he can just sell me After Effects without any other software.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I've emailed the seller, but no replies so far.

Basically all the products from Adobe (Photoshop, In Design, After Effects, Flash, plus a bunch more).

And I just got a reply from the seller like a minute ago. He said he can do it, but I am to call him for the specifics.

I think my speakers are going bad. Lately they've been making a buzzing noise, even when there is no sound coming from them. Plus, I think they are interfering with my monitor. I see scan lines going up the screen, and this is an LCD monitor, mind you.

Either that or your sound card is going bad. If you have another set of speakers, try connecting them and see what happens. If the buzzing stops you know its the speakers, which would obviously be the best case scenario.

These speakers are 8 years old, but I'll dig out another set of speakers just to be sure. Would it make a difference if it is onboard sound on the motherboard?

Also, whenever I turn off the speakers, the monitor turns off and then turns back on. :wacko:

Edit 2: I remember I had these speakers set up on another computer a few years ago, and whenever I moved the mouse, I heard a loud buzzing sound come through the speakers.

It sounds like it may be the speakers then. Its a little more difficult when your dealing with onboard sound, because if that's the culprit then you either have to buy a new motherboard or a sound card.

have any of you guys ever seen a musical? (just a general question) if so which one?

I have only seen two, and participated in two.

I've seen You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown! & Fiddler on the Roof

as well as participated in both.

musicals coming to San Antonio is that of Avenue Q in October of 2008 and Wicked in June of 2009. (musicals I actually want to see) hahaha.

I can't wait for wicked! Currently in town is Phantom of the Opera which I've heard was simply amazing.

I was just checking in with Echostar's booking center about a particular satellite (AMC5 I think it was) and there are 2 TWC feeds up there, and I plan on getting them... I have no clue what they are I just know they are 2 different feeds.

So the only problem that I have with this is that my feed dishes are out back under like 12ft of snow, so I will have to set up some dishes up front atop of the snow banks :P I'll post some video of the opperation and post some video of the feeds, once I get the feed.

Keep in mind I have had a cold since last Saturday so here I am going outside again, ugh..

Wouldn't one of them be TWC SD and one be TWC HD?

No, key word is "feeds". They are just like camera / VTR feeds not the channel feeds.

Not true. Some McDonalds are franchised, while others are owned outright. I remember a number of different occasions when the two McDonalds' near me, one which is about 2 blocks away and the other about 8 had different items on the menu. For example, for the longest time I was able to get a McRib sandwich (which happens to be the best thing they've ever served  :P )at the closer McDonalds but not the other one. 

So no, I don't think its necessarily for certain that they all have the same stuff.

Good place to do this:

This Friday, 8/7c on CBS, there will be a special prime time Price is Right Million Dollar Spectacular (there's already been three others), but from what being speculated on another board, a very shocking change occurs on this particular show.  It's something that hasn't happened in over 15yrs apparently.

Guess that leads the pack is that TPIR will start offering foreign-brand cars again (they stopped after Desert Storm as a form of "American pride".)

There has been something going on with my speakers both here and at my other house (and they are both the same model by Altec Lansing). Whenever I turn the volume knob, it makes this weird fuzzy sound. Also, sometimes the sound only comes out of one speaker and I have to turn the knob slightly to make the sound come out of both speakers.

That was going on with my old speakers too. Besides the buzzing noise, it had been making a hissing noise when changing the volume, and at times the left speaker would cut out because I think the power supply for the speakers was faulty.

though gotta go, the bell is about to ring. hahaha

LOL, damn bell.  :rofl2: :rofl2:

BTW, that;s weird that TWCC is blocked but not us.  :unsure:

its because I manage to log into the site while they were blocking a lot of other sites, and it fell under the category of "forums" so the whole site was blocked.

spring break has officially begun (for me at least)! wahooooooo.

Pelmorex owns the  canadian STAR (Weatherstar4000) for the Weather Network. I'm not sure but it is usually gone by the acronym PMX.


I've been to TWN hQ before. It's very nice. Its small, peaceful and less hectic then TWC. I've never been to TWC HQ but i can tell they're always busy based on the camera shots

Yes, Pelmorex is the company that MAKES TWN's STAR. No, they are not a STAR.

IIRC, there is a note on the bottom of the laptop saying that the lamp (or LCD backlight) contains mercury, so you'll need to find a proper mercury disposal service.

That's pretty dangerous, Mercury is fatal and could deform.

Check with your city.county/parrish/municipality. There should be a number in the government (blue) pages of the phone book for your local municipality's waste department. Call them, they'll direct you to the proper place.

Uh, no.. Pelmorex is the parent company of TWN. TWN / Pelmorex USED to have the WS4000 LF system. We have since stopped using those units. We now have a new self patented technology called "PMX" which is Pelmorex for short.

Here's your WTF moment for today:

Tonight, one of my local television stations carried a live interview with our governor.  They had to start their news a little early to fit it in.  This is what they said:

"Because of the governor's commitments, we will be pre-empting the last five minutes of NewsCenter 16 at 5:30 so we can air NewsCenter 16 at 6 at 5:55 to fulful the time allotted to us."

Yup...preempting their own newscast for their own newscast.

Imagine..."because of severe weather, we will be preempting the last five minutes of Weather Center with PM Edition."

Yep. Over time, I've developed a passion in cheery music. These kind of music make you feel better.

Do my clips in YT have A LOT of depressing songs?
Not the Joe Loskota song from this month. Does this mean you like Chris Geith music now?

whenever a chance of rain is in the forecast "OMG ITS GONNA RAIN - 100%!!"...that's never the case. nothing ever falls out of the sky.

this seriously needs to be fixed...i can almost guarantee a 100% incorrect forecast when all stations around here predict rain. as charlie brown would say...UGH!

Right now Vic your ruffling my feathers board wide. I just had to remove a post you made in this very section because it was a single word post, and you know very well that those aren't allowed. As for the game room, let's just say that I'm not very happy about some of your individual posts there, but I'm also not happy about the way things are going in general over there.

There aren't that many. And they're all very basic rules that shouldn't be very hard to remember.

Bottom line Vic, is this: you need to follow the rules or be banned.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on March 18, 2008, 01:26:47 PM
Here are some I can remember, and i will follow the others not included too:

No single word or emoticon only posts

No excessive profanity

No posting of fulllength songs

No bumping of threads with stupid responses.
 No tech support questions

No marquees or large sigs

Again, these are just a handful and I will FOLLOW ALL rules for this forum

Gary, just put an end to it once and for all by either

A) Closing the game room entirely (drastic)
B) Deleting the games that seem to have the most problems (Considerably less drastic)
C) Ban the problem posters (Drastic, but would make everyone happy)

While it's not technically cable, AT&T has a TV service called U-Verse (IIRC, it's fiber optic or IPTV).

It may not be on Windows Update in a few specific cases, like if you've installed one of the betas or RCs, or you have some incompatible drivers. If you do want to install it now, you can get it from Microsoft's site.

I've successfully got Vista SP1 installed onto this laptop. :D After SP1 installation, my Vista experience rating changed slightly, from 2.9 to 3.0.

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/88/vistasp1expindexwc4.th.png) (http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vistasp1expindexwc4.png)

It's also worth noting that Vista now recognizes the full 1 GB of RAM that is installed on this machine, rather than just listing 896 MB.

Yes, but regular members can't see everything.  :)
But they can see like what threads your viewing, posting in, etc. :)
We can also ride our bikes super fast but I noticed you didn't mention that.  <_<

I could've sworn mostpopular87 was also a Matt.

Actually you're right. I don't know why he hasn't logged in since December. Is he banned or what?

Did his profile say he was banned?

How should I know. YOu're the administrator. You guys can only see if he is banned or not ;)

You obviously looked at his profile, to have known when he last logged on.

BTW, members can see if a member is banned also.

Woah! Don't ever do that again!
Do what? I just posted a satellite clip of "Mountains of Unaka" by Eddie Reasoner. :unsure: Since when is posting satellite clips bad?
T'was a MP3.. We have a rule, no MP3 sharing!
Well, if it was a .wav file, it would be too big. And nobody really likes .wma files so I had no choice. .mp3 was the best format.
It's still audio sharing, if need be I will have Gary update the rules stating that NO AUDIO sharing is to take place as it is illegal.
If it's a clip, and not a full-length song, I thought it was ok.
It was a clip. If I had the full length song, I wouldn't make it public. :no:

Oh Kyle. Oooooh Kyle. How it pains me to see you screw up.  :P

We are allowed to share audio files as long as they are not full length. There is nothing illegal about sharing short clips of songs. The rules spell that out very clearly. I urge you to go back and read them again.

Oh, and....don't raise a stink in public unless you know what your stinking about.  :)

True. Just don't reveal too many personal things that's all. I think Facebook is safer. Both sites are not 100% safe but facebook has more filters and you can limit as to what your friends can see. Also you have to log in facebook to use it.

Myspace/Facebook is as dangerous as you make it.  If you don't want you identity shown, hide your last name.  You don't have to put exactly where you live.  Don't put a picture online.  And make people who request you, know your eMail/last name (at least for myspace.)  Facebook.. you can only view people in your network (s).

Here's how you do sit-ups. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sit-up_(exercise))

Aah, now I see. I didn't like them either. I did it and it was challenging. I felt like my abs would explode.

I like pushups. I always did well on them. I did 50 pushups in less than 5 minutes.

BTW, is 11 minutes for a mile bad?

Yeah, 11 minutes is pretty bad. I've always been a relatively slow runner (I'm skinny, so I guess I just have bad legs or something  :P ) but I can run a mile in about 5 minutes.

I see the same holds true at TWCC. Well, I guess spring break is over for most of you now, so that probably has alot to do with it. Most of the adults here work, so that also plays a role. Sunday nights generally are relatively slow.

LOL... It is all techincally on one big switch under the desk but if I flip that, everything goes off (or on)... And with one of the TV's if its improperly turned off (like unplugged) it wont turn on for another 5 hours... Its weird like that... but if I turn that TV off, then flip the switch, its fine. Plus theres alot of that equipment that has a soft switch vs. a hard switch so it all has to be pressed anyways... damn modern technology!

I know this is an old subject, but how do you do this? I've seen people only put their last initial on their profile. I've been trying to figure out how to do this, but I can't. Right now I just have the first two letters of my last name on my profile.

Can't you just drag the file from the CD to your harddrive? I think you can do that using iTunes.

No, if its a true music CD its a .cda which needs to be ripped.

Go in to WMP and click "Rip" or "Copy from CD" select that tracks you want, and click "Rip" or "Copy".

It's colder today. Temps are in the 50s

BTW, how can i save a song file into my harddrive when it's from a CD? I have a song playing in the computer from a cde but would like to save it into my hard drive.
No, if its a true music CD its a .cda which needs to be ripped.

Go in to WMP and click "Rip" or "Copy from CD" select that tracks you want, and click "Rip" or "Copy".
yep it's a true CD. So this lets me save it into my computer right? not burning it into a another CD?

Now this is the reason why I don't like to give unavailable songs to you. You always want to "show off" that you have the song by putting it in an emulator clip.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on April 13, 2008, 04:30:27 PM
I'm not going to. I actually don't want to put unaiv. songs in emulations for this reason. Also there's copyright issues where artists don't want the music to be publicly heard so that's a reason why I'm against it.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

Just overheard my parents and they said we'll either be getting Dish Network or Comcast soon. I hate Dish but it's cheaper than DirecTV. And Comcast is OK since we get an Intellistar. I pay 71 dollars for DirecTV bills monthly while in Dish it averages 39.99 and in Comcast $53.99

If your paying that much for DirecTV something is seriously wrong. I have never seen DirecTV cost more than cable.

Post by: TheRolyPoly on May 02, 2008, 11:42:54 PM
I know, We have to pay @ least 70 To 71 Dollars for DirecTV Service

Post by: Mike M on May 02, 2008, 11:45:05 PM
DirecTV more money than Comcast? That can't be true. We're spending at least $150-$250 for Comcast cable and internet monthly. Get Dish if DirecTV is too much for you. At least you will still have narration-less LF's!

I don't get it. Even if he pays for both TV and internet, don't DirecTV subscribers have to do the same? IMO, if you add the cost of DirecTV with that of whatever internet you have, you'll come out to alot less than you would if you got cable and internet through the cable company.

Post by: lfmusiclover on May 02, 2008, 11:53:01 PM
That's not good. You've got to be paying $50 a month or more to get Comcast internet without TV service. It'd be much more economical to go with DSL.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on May 03, 2008, 10:18:11 AM
I have Verizon DSL service. But seriously, 4NWN and me both pay 71 bucks and it WAY more expensive then comcast. I'm waiting for Verizon Fios to come. Other than that it's strong that we may get Dish Network.

Lets do some math...

      If Devil = 666
          666 = 3 numbers
 3 numbers = 3 Variables
3 Variables = 3 Letters
  3 Letters = Gil

Solve for Gil:

          Gil = Devil

You can buy longer cables just about anywhere that sells electronics. RadioShack would probably be the best place, as they have plenty to choose from there.

Make sure you have the correct type selected: Antenna, Cable, Cable HRC, etc.

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Gil on May 12, 2008, 05:21:04 PM
Well I know when you have the tuner directly connected to the cable system, channels 1-99, its Cable HRC. Usually with VCRs and other devices between the 2, its Cable. Try either of the three.

Nope. And i regret returning it. My dad bought it and made the decision to return it. <_<

So the WinTV doesn't have a limit on many channels it can tune in? TWC is on 362. Will 362 show up on the tuner or will it be changed to a different number during channel scan?

I found a good USB tuner, ATI TV Wonder 600. It's an HD tuner but it costs 122$ in Best Buy.

Good card, bad price. Go to pricewatch.com. You can find some real nice stuff there without breaking the bank.  :twothumbs:

Best Buy and Circuit City are the biggest ripoffs since AOL...
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on May 13, 2008, 03:49:25 PM
I hate Circuit City. The guy there told me I need a phone jack to put the tuner near to. :rolleyes:

Gary I'll try pricewatch.com. The ATI 600 produces sharp, sexy graphics for a USB so I might consider getting that one.

EDIT: is Youtube working for anyone? I'm unable to access the site currently.

Connect the cable from the output on your receiver (it should say either output or line out) to the tuner.

First question, yes. I'm pretty sure you use a coax cable, but not 100% sure (never worked with any satellite stuff before). That's what I use with my Tuner on basic cable. Try it and see if it works.

Post by: Gil on May 20, 2008, 06:28:45 PM
No! THis has been answered so many times. As with a cable box or VCR, you have your TV or Tuner set to channel 3. thats all. Then you control channels via remote for the box.

Post by: Localonthe8s on May 20, 2008, 06:36:49 PM
Eh...this is getting complicated. Yeah it'll work on Ch. 3

My concern is connecting it. the guy at radio shack said to unscrew the cable line and screw it into the tuner.

Is this a good idea? because if i screw back the cable line i'm afraid i will permanently lose my satellite signal from the receiever.

Guys especially Billy, THANK YOU SO MUCH. My tuner worked!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIFJJdTkfLw

I connected a rather short coaxial cable ( <_< ) from the "Out to TV" port into the tuner. Then i opened the WinTV 2000 application and went to Menu/Suite Manager/Sources/Analog scan. I got "Cbl 3" scanned so i clicked on it.

I clicked Close and within an instant i got live DirecTV video!

I tried recording it at first but the record function crashed. So i reopened WinTV and did it again and it worked! When i finished recording i noticed it saves automatically when i hit stop? :unsure:

I opened WMM, edited the video and saved it to my computer. The down side is that the .mpg files are LARGE.

AND, will I need to click the "scan" button each time I connect the tuner to my receiver.

Once again THANK YOU EVERYONE! I'm so happy!!! :thrilled: :dance:

Good to hear that it worked, Vic.

To make the files smaller, go into the options and choose this option:

That will greatly reduce the file size, and retain the quality.

No :P

I didn't record any clips last night because when I opened the WinTV 2000 application, it never loaded. I had to restart my computer <_<

So when using OTR, i can record one video, then record the next Lot8s without having to open/close the application each time?

And Billly, I did that same step you showed me to reduce file size and the recording is still large. When I record a standard 2 minute LF clip and import it to Movie Maker, it says the file is 44 MB. :blink: In addition, when I drag certain clips into the storyboard, it freezes and gives me a "Windows Movie Maker needs to close" error.

Mike- I told myself that i would NEVER work fast food.  I applied at 4 places other than fast food, and I ended up working in....fast food.

So, I finally took the job that my uncle offered me at a fast food restaurant.  Is it the best, no.  But, I am 9 months into it, and it would be stupid for me to leave.  I am getting paid really well, and am now a manager.

As said, Billy i need your help.

Everytime, i click on the WinTV 2000 icon and the little white WinTV tab appears it just stays there and freezes. Nothing happens. The only way to get out of this is hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and restart the computer. It's annoying. How can i prevent WinTV 2000 from freezing when intializing?
Not sure. That has never happened to me.
Now that I think about it, try this. Unplug the tuner from the computer. Reboot the computer. Plug back in the tuner to the computer. Try launching WinTV.

This happens though with my tuner plugged in. I plug in the tuner, open WinTV and the intialization tab saying "WinTV The Best TV for your PC!" appears and never finishes. I have to take out the tuner and reboot the computer to escape this.

Could i uninstall the application (but keep the drivers) and reinstall it?

I suppose you could try that, though I'm not sure how well it would work. Also, have you tried out WinTV version 6?

You got the Getaway right. Getaway forecasts are programmed by DMA, AC is in the Philadelphia DMA but it doesn't make sense to have my own getaway city in the localforecast.

Here's something i find hard to believe :rolleyes:

One of my neighbors has Comcast and he has TWC HD in his Comcast package. So I said if you have "TWC HD" does your local forecast look like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU2Zi_wGASo

He said it looks exactly like that but I'm unable to get to their house currently and yes they do have an HD receiver.

I though TWC HD was only in Northern Jersey? If I do in fact see the TWC HD channel, i may have to see the HD STAR as well when it comes out in July.

Derek, I do feel weird about chatting about someone I don;t know over the internet. I mean if I know you like for months and months, eventually you might want to do it. I don't know what the case would be like since I have known you for almost a year.

I was wanting to do a voice chat with you before going to India sometime in July, but if you don't want to do it I understand. There is no point in forcing you

Speaking of hotels and weatherstars, there was a change of plans and I may not get to travel across Utah, Arizona, or New Mexico. So I most likely won't be getting all those weatherstar clips I promised awhile back. :(

However, it is pretty much set in stone that I'm going to Portland at the end of the month. I already know that they have the intellistar though :( But I'll be sure to capture some clips of it.

I can barely remember my 4000, but I remember just about everything that was in my XL (even though I have no footage of it), both the config that was used 1999-2002 and 2002-2004. The only thing I don't remember about it is the ID number.

The 8 city list was

Milville
Ocean City
Philadelphia
Sussex County Airport
Trenton
Wilmington

My radar is also zoomed in basically right on the Atlantic Ocean.

I believe I may have recorded one clip of an XLv1 or Weather Center in my video tapes but I will have to do some searching. Even If I do find it I would be unable to connect it to my tuner because ym VCR only has A/V ports

The wunderground stations aren't that accurate with temperatures especially when the sun is shining on the station, and most of those stations also don't report sky conditions. That's why I stick with NWS and HiRAD on my weather reports.

You know the NJ Transit public buses?

Well my mom just called me and a car hit the bus she was riding on! The back part of the bus (505) got smashed really bad and the street has been closed  for over an hour. She had to get off the bus and take another one which came after 40 minutes

Man that's scary, I can;t imagine being on the bus and a car crashing into it. Must be scary! No one got injured though. Man that would be awful if it was something worse :cry:

Then 4 years ago, one of parents friends' got killed when the car she was riding in, crashed into a 509 bus on the A.C. Expressway. 10 people were injured on the bus and it was banged up really bad. I can post a link but you need a subscription to view it. The crash was from ice.

When I was in 4th grade, were were taking a field trip and we had three buses all following each other. At a railroad crossing the first two buses stopped and the third one couldn't stop fast enough and hit the second bus, which was then pushed into the first bus. I was on the third bus, and it was quite a hard stop. A few of my friends had to be taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

The sun is probably shining on the station, hence why it's recording that high temperature. Those wunderground stations don't report as accurate conditions as the airport sites, since the airports use more expensive equipment.

I have a coaxial cable that says "For connection between the receiver and tv only" I connect that cable to my tuner but would that specific coaxial cable work for a cable box too? It's a long cable and it worked when i connect it to my satellite receiver but i'm not sure if there are coaxial cables that work only from cable-to- tv or satellite receiver-to-tv

Did you really throw up, or were you speaking rhetorically?

I saw the movie on Sunday. A lot of action, but it was packed in the theater. I had to sit near the front, which made it uncomfortable looking way up on the screen, as well as sitting very close to it.

Snow days = shorter summers. Back in fifth grade (2002-2003) summer 2003 was shortened by more than a week due to a week-long strike and several snowstorms (including the Blizzard of 2003 and several others) closing school.

I'm not sure when they stopped showing. I rarely see the 1 minute flavors anymore.
I think Mike told me that the regional maps are supposed to show on the :18/:48 flavors, but for whatever reason they don't show on my STAR. :(

Yeah they do often lock topics without even saying whether it's a known issue, it's been fixed, etc. I'm guessing because of time-constraints, but how are you supposed to know whether it's a known issue or if it will be fixed?

Oh yes, SpamAssassin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpamAssassin) is what I was refering to there. If you send bogus emails, with spelling mistakes, or anything that the system thinks is un-wanted / spam it will stop the email from getting delivered and put the user who sent the email on a Black List, which stop all future emails, regardless of content.

While I was trying to post this, Gary took the words right out of my mouth (okay..almost :P )

I barely remember anything from the 90's.  I remember maybe 1997 at the most.  And I know you are quite young, so I don't see how you remember much of the 90's either.

First off, I'm the farthest thing from mean. In fact, I'm an exceptionally nice person. I speak the truth. Clear as day. I don't "beat around the bush" or "sugarcoat" things. And anyone with a problem with that can jump off their proverbial "high-horse" and "suck it". :cool3:

You guys are absolutely correct, I complain and rant FAR TOO MUCH FOR YOU GUYS TO HANDLE. It needs to end because I can't live life like that for the years to come. I'll remember that. Plus you guys would love it if I were to never visit here and twcclassics again right?

No one here ever likes me anyways. At least I try to respect everyone here.  <_<

I can't speak for Tyler, but I wouldn't like it at all if you were to never visit us here. Its not you I don't like. Its your attitude and complaining.

I'm with Gary. It's not that I don't like you, but your posting habits are out of control. Sorry, but I'd say 85% are unnecessary. Here, you have nearly 12,500 posts! That's absurd. At TWCC, in a year's time, you've made >5000 posts. On the other hand, I too have 5000 posts, but I've been around there since the site's start! See my point?

Did your parents ever tell you to "think before you speak?" Well, the same rule applies online! "Think before you post."

Oh, and all the complaining can go too... some is okay, but at your current rate, it's way too much.

I would have to agree with Tyler. Its ok to come here and post each day, and have some fun, etc., but you seem to think its a competition. If competitive posting were ever to become an Olympic Game you'd be our representative in the competition!

There's no need to do that. Post ocunt is nothing but a number. Ever heard the phrase "Quality before quantity" ? It certainly applies to posting on message boards. Its not about how much you post as much as it is about how worthwhile, informative, and useful your posts are. Of those 12,500 posts you have I'd be willing to bet that at least 10,000 belong to the game room. Posting in there is fine, but I think that's going a little overboard. You might say "Well Gary, you have over 7,000 posts!". True enough. But I'm the admin. Its my job to post as much as possible, so as to keep things lively.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

I wouldn't say that. I am aware that you have a high post count. You're in charge of the forum after all. I'm sorry if my posting is beyond imagination. I just like to be active and part of the TWC fan community.

Or, if no one did anything to piss you off here, did someone over there do something to make you particularly happy?

Roland hasn't been a bother here for the last week because he was banned and was JUST reinstated at week's end. and since he was reinstated he's posted very little. I doubt he'll be a bother here anymore.

As for participating here more than at TWCC, I don't buy it. Yes, you post alot here, but primarily in the game room. At least at TWCC you give it some effort, and actually post some in other places on the forum, and even CREATE threads!

Further, if Roland is a bother at TWCC, wouldn't that be a reason to stay away form there? You know I don't allow that here. Instead, it seems like your spending alot of time trying to make Tyler happy. At least judging by your sappy comments to him last night.

Eh, I don't know about quite heavily. That's an awful strong term.  :ermm:

Let's try the TWCC comment again, since you didn't understand it the first time. If someone over there is bothering you, wouldn't that be a reason to STAY AWAY? Not because its wrong to post there, but who wants to be miserable because of someone whose bothering them?

Yes, he sometimes sends me annoying PMs about WPVI and why he's restricted from posting that's why I didn't like it. The reason I go to TWCClassics is so I can post in the Game Room there . Most of my posts in TWCClassics are in the game room.

But I don't understand, why don't you like it that I am posting in TWCClassics? No other admin here or at the classics has a problem, so I don't get why u have an issue with this.

Where do you get that I have any issue with you posting at TWCC?
You sent me a few PMs before that you were discouraged with my posting and activity in TWCC.

Nope, I sent you PM's with the same message that I am giving you today-that I'm perplexed as to why it seems that you give it more effort over there. For example, I don't think I've EVER seen you go so far as to create threads here, and I've seen quite a number of them that you created over at TWCC. You claim your posting habits there are the same as they are here, but that's just not true. When you do post here, 90% of your posts are either in the game room , or are posts of complaint about something. It's not that I don't want you to post at TWCC, its that I DO want you to post here, and be as enthusiastic about it.

Technically your not supposed to advertise them at all, as you know if you've read the rules. But I've lightened up on it a little and allow JUST ONE advertisement thread if you ask for permission FIRST. And ANY site you start must be put in that thread.

You may repost (or if you prefer, start a thread for) your forum advertisement.

Which is exactly why I eat and drink what I want to. You never know what to think from one day to the next. Though most of the time everything is carcinogenic and bad for you. So I don't pay much attention to what they say. I'd rather eat worry free than worry about everything I eat.

Actually, computers around 3-5 years of age (if you're lucky, it can last more than that) can start to suffer those sort of problems. With a normal BSOD (and I've gotten several in the past), you don't lose data. Sounds like to me your HD had a brain fart (i.e it's beginning to show signs of wear and tear). If you continue to have problems like that, then it would be time to look into getting a new computer. :yes:

It certainly ain't rocket science. Its typically in documentation. Worst case scenario, take it to Geek Squad. But buying a new computer just because of that is absolutely insane.

I received a PM from the "Roland" at Vic's forum and he told me he is Roland's 12 year old son, but his dad is the one who posts here and TWCC. I tend to wonder though if it actually is his son who posts here. There's no way a 48 year old can have that kind of behavior, not to mention the "Roland" at Vic's forum has the same exact behavior as the one here.  :thinking:

Avalon looks fine to me. They just need to put the city name on top of the icon.

But Atlantic City is a popular destination. If its changed on your STAR it will change on everyone else's, making the segment useless for people traveling to the beach. Quite frankly, I don't think it's that much of a problem.

I think the Getaway Forecast is useless all along. I mean probably 45% of people here actually visit and are concerned about the weather in the cities in the getaway forecast.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on August 22, 2008, 01:55:32 PM
It's not going anywhere. The segment involves sponsored locations and TWC makes money out of them. Though, I wish it had a lower priority level, as the almanac, daypart, and metro forecasts are more useful IMO.

FiOS? They aren't nearly as local as other companies. I believe A.C. viewers get the forecast for Newark (80+ miles away).  :wacko:

That's the main reason why I refuse to switch to FiOS (I know, odd reason), but my parents really want to switch so I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell them that I don't want FiOS just because I'm getting a forecast for a city that's more than 20 miles away.

Really? No weather for AC? :huh:

Still, they HAVE WEATHERSCAN! Comcast got rid of it i believe. I want it for weatherscan plus I like to see the whacky flavors of the intellistar that fios viewers get.

Do you have Fios in your area, Mike?
The problem with their Weatherscans is that there are forecasts for so many cities that some headends don't have the lifestyles packages (not even Travel and Airport!). I enjoy seeing those lifestyle segments and would miss them if we switch (another con for fios).

South Jersey never had Garden AFAIK, or any of the "seasonal" segments. We get all the segments here though (except int'l forecast, which seems to be rare to have).

Me too! Weatherscan came on channel 85 right after Comcast took over Suburban Cable here. In 2002 it was moved to 117, then in 2004 to 119, and in 2005 to 120.

I really wish I recorded more Weatherscan XL clips. :(

From Wikipedia:

Quote from: Wikipedia
WPVI offers live streaming video on its sub channel (6.3) and website of "Action News Now" Powered by Accuweather.com. As of August 2008, Accuweather (located in State College, Pennsylvania) has a new format and design. The new format include a bar that moves to show when the anachors/segments will finish, hourly forecast, it also has removed the current news and traffic from Action News. which offers live local and national weather as part of The AccuWeather Channel. The format of "Action News Now" is much like NBC Weather Plus.

Yeah I always wondered why there is no traffic in the Atlantic City STARs.

So why no Philly traffic reports for Atlantic City? People travel between those two areas all the time.

Yeah but it makes no damn sense for my own city to be on the Getaway. They should put another city like Wildwood, NJ or Wilmington, DE. That's in the Philadelphia DMA.

Why? AC is a more popular destination than Wildwood or Wilmington. Plus, that really solves nothing, as those two places, also in the Philly DMA, would see their city on the getaway forecast. There is no real good solution for this problem.

You'll get weather for Center City, PA.



Quote from: MikeM2010 on August 22, 2008, 02:20:37 PM
That's the main reason why I refuse to switch to FiOS (I know, odd reason), but my parents really want to switch so I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell them that I don't want FiOS just because I'm getting a forecast for a city that's more than 20 miles away.
We all know I'm a big fan of localization of the IntelliStars, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather save and get better service with FiOS and deal with a forecast that's not as local as the competition (Comcast). Switching cable providers shouldn't be based on the headend size. Plus, you're only 20 miles away from Philadelphia, that's not bad at all.

They're called subheadends or telephone offices. Currently they have no Stars in them but they could figure out a way to place a Star in one of them. It will likely be the best way to give a more local weather forecast to us TWC viewers. As for headends sizes, yes I may only be 20 miles from Philly but the temperature difference between Downtown Philadelphia and rural Bucks/Montco/Chesco and the Pine Barrens can differ greatly. Heck, Bensalem and Levittown's temperature differences are often 5-10 degrees and they're less than a half hour away from each other!

Also, headend sizes isn't the only reason why I refuse to switch...

But, that happens everywhere, including here. In fact, it happens ALL the time in the winter and spring, where it will rain in Downtown Pittsburgh and in the southern 'burbs, but in the eastern suburbs we'll get an inch or two of snow.

Actually, let me clear your foggy recollections of how this got started. I made A JOKE, to which you responded with your usual cocky attitude. From there it went downhill, because as your apt to prove on a regular basis, you haven't learned to pick your battles wisely. Picking a fight with me won't get you anywhere except on my nerves and, eventually, on the ban list.

I don't know how many times I've shown you this message, Victor. :itsok:

Quote from: Joe Loskota
Hi Derek, I have completed 13 smooth jazz songs over the past year, some of which you know.. I just put the finishing touches on the last 3. I've arranged the songs in an order that would work on a CD. A little over 50 minutes in all. Now, I'm working on the other non music stuff - like getting an itunes account, etc. I don't know if I will make a physical CD or just distribute online. That's a tough decision. I hopefully will be starting a myspace page soon. I'll definitely let you know when that happens. I am still hoping to get my songs/CD out this summer. I really appreciate your interest in my music and hope that you will enjoy the songs that you haven't heard yet. Joe

I got that message on July 24th. And I emailed him way back in the end of June.

Roland's getting on my nerves and is gonna be permabanned real soon if he doesn't cut the crap. Which I expect he won't, because he's still clueless as to why he's banned from every other forum known to mankind.

I am gonna reuse all my school supplies from last year for this year. I'm gonna use the same pencils, workbox, bookbag, binders and folders. As for noteboooks, I'll just tear off the written pages. It's a lot easier and more cheaper rather than buying expensive supplies yearly
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on September 01, 2008, 11:23:43 AM
Yeah that's what I'm probably gonna do too. Most of my stuff from last year are still in good condition. I don't see why other people get rid of their stuff and buy new things when their old supplies are still in good condition. Waste of money IMO.

2 more days. :(

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on September 01, 2008, 11:29:58 AM
I'm going to the same school from last year, but I want to move back to Bensalem. The people in my school in NJ are rude (though there are a few exceptions), and it seems that I am the only one being bothered and no one else. And the teachers do absolutely nothing to help. Plus Marlton is a boring town with not much to do.

I also heard Junior year is the most difficult year in HS.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on September 01, 2008, 11:38:15 AM
It depends where in NJ. In North New Jersey, the people are nice. In South Jersey, the people are mean and have disrespect and attitude. My high school has mean people but I have learned to deal with it. Plus my school is better than AC High. That school is VERY dangerous. Kids have been shot in the school before and the teachers are a complete joke.

I don't also understand why schools start on August. I mean August just doesn't "fit" the standard month of September when school starts. Like some schools start on Aug 7th where is too much heat and sun. It's still the middle of summer, kids need a break rather going back so early.

Well, Chris won't be used until 2012 so you're fine for now at least.

My name was used in 2000, but it caused minimal damage and therefore it wasn't retired. It was on the 2006 list but the name was never used.

You need to install Gears in order for it to work. It looks like the older VideoDownloader isn't compatible with the multi-video upload feature, as they recently modified the uploader a little. You don't have to use Gears for your desktop, you can set it so it will only work with the sites you need it for, such as YouTube.

Look, take it from me: DROPPING OUT IS A HUGE MISTAKE. DO NOT DO IT. You will regret it for the rest of your life. I regret it each and every day. You may not use some of what you learn, but that damn diploma is like money in the bank. YOU NEED IT.
You're right. In fact, in Illinois, You HAVE to go to school, by law, until at least 16 years of age. There is simply no choice of dropping out.

I am probably only going to go a Semester at public schools. I would be doing online high school, while I kick my career into high gear.

Just because I had to pull it up...my total for tuition, fees, and books was just a shade under $2000, and that's only because the damn textbooks were almost $450.

LOL you guys have got to hear this...

So I was listening to my iPod on the school bus on the ride home. This junior (she was HOT) walked up and said if she could listen to music on my ipod (97% of music in my ipod is TWC music) so I was listening to the song "The Green Road"  by Main Gazane from the 12/07 playlist and she only listened to the song for about 9 seconds. The song is full of sax and piano, the typical music teens despise . After that she gave the Ipod back to me and i swear to god, what I saw was the most priceless "WTF" reaction I ever saw! :rofl2: :rofl2:

Also, this other kid in my home room has actually heard of the guitarist Steve Glotzer. He said he loves his guitar music and plays some of the beats on his guitar by following Glotzer. Weird but cool at the same time.  :twothumbs:

No. You need to subscribe to cable. They turn you off when you cancel service. You cannot get channels from cable unless you resubscribe. Do NOT listen to what Mike said. He's either confused or wrong.

Actually, I would try anyway. It's a common Comcast error that they cancel your account, but forget to shut off the signal to your house. My friend's been watching standard cable (channels 2-99) for almost 6 months now on his TV in his room, while the rest of his house is wired to Dish. And this isn't a rare occurrence, either. I've read on DSLReports about it happening often to the folks there.

Yeah, I wouldn't exactly date anyone in high school either. However that doesn't stop me from 'liking' other girls. :happy:

Yeah, I've heard about those occurrences too, Tyler. Those Comcast people are dummies, they don't always seem to know they are doing. Yesterday I walked by a Comcast person on his van getting out those "flags" you stick on the ground. I was about to say to him "Comcast sucks," but I changed my mind. :P

Theres really no way to shut off basic cable since the signal comes from a DA in your local neighbour hood box, so they can obviliously shut down your digital services by removing your box from the ECM stream, but again, to remove basic analog signal they would physically have to un-plug the cable from the DA. It's an analog stream, it has no authorization status. If its coming in to your house, you can view it.

But I first switched from Comcast to DISH in April 2002. I also had Comcast for 2 months in June-August 2004 then went back to DISH. In 4 years time, I can still view basic standard cable?

Providing they haven't unplugged your cable from the main box, yes, you should still get basic cable.

I had Comcast in Atlanta, and got it de-activated back in 2006. If I were to plug in my set top box it would not work, but if I were to plug the cable right from the wall, in to the TV, I would still be able to get basic cable (like channels 2 - 24 or something IIRC).

This is not entirely true. There's a good chance that when he was de-activated they went up on the pole and put a trap on his line. They would need to go back up and remove the trap before he could receive cable again.

Yeah - thats the other way this story could have gone. In my experience here in Ottawa, cable never gets turned off for anyone upon closing an account, or deactivating services.

Here at home I own the lines going between here and the headend so that might also explain a few things. :P

Can't be true. People in Philly are even more nuts than Atlantic City, and I never see them running outside in their underwear.

As for the speed limit, people always go over it here too. Like last night I was going 55-60 mph on US 1, and a car passed by me REALLY fast. He had to be going at least 90 mph.

My bus driver last week was texting on her cell phone (it's against the law here in NJ) and never pays attention to the speed limit. She goes 35-40 mph on 25 mph residential areas and nearly 60 mph on 40 mph zones. Marlton is filled with cops so I'm surprised she was never pulled over. Plus a lot of people miss the bus because of how fast she drives and is ahead of the schedule. At least I arrive at school more than a half hour before the day begins. :D

My school district uses many bus services. They have their own buses, buses from a local company called Hillman's Bus Service (which I take), and a national company called First Student. They have to provide 40+ buses from three companies just for the students at my school!

My school district purchases their own buses, and they purchase around 40-50-ish buses per year (though for the most part it's closer to 40). Our buses have a fairly simple numbering procedure, the number is in the format of the number of the bus that was purchased that year, and then the year that that bus was purchased. I.E, a bus that was purchased in 2003 and was the eighth bus purchased that year, it's number would be 8-03 (which just so happens to be the bus I ride to school). :yes:

What about just closing the old thread, renaming it something like "Pot Belly Stove Fall/Winter 2007" then opening a new one and calling it "Pot Belly Stove Fall/Winter 2008"? The same format would work with the Front Porch, too.

Although I'm no expert on this, I wouldn't think so. It would still be the same number of posts, just split up between two smaller topics as opposed to one huge one.

I got home from school today (DEAD TIRED), so, I turned on TWC after I got home, and plopped on the couch, and started dozing off.  All of the sudden I just here "KYLE", and I wake up..nobody is there.  It was VIVIAN BROWN saying it on the TV (talking about Kyle being the next storm).  It was pretty ..interesting i guess

I'm sure most of you have probably heard of it, especially if you or your parents have ever played the lottery. Anywho, I played $10 on tonight's Mega Millions drawing. Generally, I win $5 or $10 from time to time, but never have I won anything bigger than that. Well tonight I hit for $150! That's more than I've ever hit before!  :dance: :dance: :dance:

I was up in Allentown all day for the Collegiate Marching Band Festival (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collegiate_Marching_Band_Festival) and it was raining all day, but we had to preform anyway, in the poring down rain. All my stuff got soaked, and will probably get moldy.  <_<

Also (Mike's going to like this one), I was sitting there watching a few other bands preform, and in front of me, the people had an old red and white Suburban Cable umbrella.

Really? That's surprising. Suburban Cable has been defunct since ~2000!

So I was at the mall yesterday and the Hallmark card store there already had an ENTIRE aisle of Thanksgiving and Christmas cards! They seemed to have forgotten about Halloween. The Macy's I went to there however didn't have any Christmas stuff out yet, but I'm not surprised to see this many holiday stuff out this early. I mean, who would want to buy Christmas cards in September?

After almost a year and 2 months, I have decided to move on to another job.  My choices were Target, KMart, and Panera Bread.  Kmart and Target never called, but Panera called Sunday, and I had an interview yesterday, and today I went in for a follow-up interview, and they hired me!  I start October 19th!  I'm so happy to be DONE with fast food (unfortunately I'd love to be done with food..but oh well).

So I just went back from the dentist and my bottom wisdom teeth are impacted. :( I knew this would happen since I noticed they started growing about three years ago. I also occasionally felt pain back there so I figured they were impacted. Looks like I'll be getting oral surgery to get the two teeth removed (not sure yet if the top ones are impacted yet), which should happen within the next few months.

Thanks.  Yeah, Panera has great food.

Mike- you have fun with that.  My wisdome teeth were making my 12 year old molars come in HORIZONTAL when I was 14.  haha.  Don't know which is worse.  But, I can tell you that the anesthesia (not sure if that is the correct spelling) will mess you up.  My dad said I was laughing when I started it, then I woke up crying, not wanting to wake up from it, and not wanting to move. 

I looked like a chipmunk for a few days.  And, it sucks, because you can't eat ANYTHING but soup and ice cream (if you're lucky, you'll be able to, but I doubt it).  Good luck with your surgery.  It take a couple weeks to fully recover.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on September 30, 2008, 05:53:00 PM
Yeah, I don't think I will take anesthesia after hearing it has dangerous side effects. I'd rather just stick with the pain. I'd probably have to take several days off from school, though. There's no way I could concentrate.

I probably ought to have my wisdom yanked, but I won't. They came in sideways (all of them, apparently), and the doctor says for that reason they should come out. But I've never been in any pain, so I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Know what I mean?  :biggrin:

Thanks.  Hopefully I'll catch on quick.

Mike- you'd be stupid if you didn't go under the anesthesia.  It will hurt like HELL!  You shouldn't let a VERY RARE occurence keep you from going under.  If not, then let me know how cutting chunks for your gums out, and keeping your mouth strethced open for 30-45 minutes is  :thumbsup:

(that sounded mean..my bad.  But, it's nothin to worry about.  They hook you up to a bunch of machines and crap to monitor you..)

I'd have to side with Kyle here. Whilst I've never had any teeth removed, I can't imagine doing it without anesthesia. I also couldn't imagine not doing it for your reasoning. The odds are so far against anything bad happening that to not get anesthesia really is stupid.

I get that daily if I have more than 2 Avid boxes running, and just by looking at the "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" it is indeed a driver resource error (IRQ). Re-install the drivers and or make sure you have the correct drivers! Plus make sure you dont have any other hardware that might be A) using the same resources, and B) does the same task.

Merging this with the Front Porch and/or Pot Belly Stove would be a good idea. Since Gary banned creating additional topics like this, I don't see the need for this to stay as it is.

I agree. :yes:

Actually there should just be ONE general discussion thread. Front Porch, Pot Belly Stove, and this thread all merged into one.

Why? I propose it be merged immediately. There's absolutely no need for it. Just one general discussion area is needed. You're not special, why should you continue to retain your "own" thread?

Speaking of people on TV.  I visited a local tv station, and got some inside scoop.  Not, the names are fake.  Betty and Joe were dating (both from the same station).  Betty left for a larger market, and Joe's contract was not up yet.  Joe is still there, and I assume that he is staying, because his contract was up in Aug.

That's not the interesting part.  Before Joe came to this area, he lived in another state, and worked at another station.  An anchor from a competing station (in my market), Sarah, also worked at the same station as Joe.  Joe and Sarah, i guess, dated for a while, and Joe broke up with her a little before leaving that station for this one.  Half of a year later, SARAH comes down here.  Very interesting.  (Idk, it sounded very odd the way someone from the station explained to me).  The whole point was a jelious ex girlfriend stalking someone.. :lol:

I saw a wonderful thing yesterday... We were going out to dinner, and were stopped at a major intersection. This idiot on a cell phone, made a left turn on a red light, with a cop right behind him, and the cop busted him.

It's nice to know that there's an ounce of justice these days.

Just by giving it a quick look over, it is full of spelling mistakes, and is poorly formatted.. For example the "Offline for Now" is the biggest text on the page, whats up with that?! Fix the spelling, and work on the formatting and it should stay.

Here's a rant I did a while back (Some of the bad cursing censored for some of the young members like Evan):
This makes me wonder what the NWS is smoking. They said on my forecast earlier,"Showers and thunderstorms likely,mainly after 1am." Now,they say,"Showers and thunderstorms likely,mainly after 2am." First of all,do you think I give a s**t what time it's gonna rain? No. Then,tomorrow,they brung me down from a 70% chance of storms to a 60% chance of storms. In Ohio,one of my friends online said they went from a 70% chance of storms to a 20% slight chnce of showers in a few hours. What the hell were they smoking? They keep changing stuff. Make up your minds damn it,and leave it as that. They love changing stuff. Hey,NWS,are you only doing this for a paycheck,or,do you give a s**t about the weather? They only time I think they're accurate is when they're issuing a high risk. Another friend of mine online said when they issue a moderate risk,we don't need it,and,when they don't issue it,we get moderate risk weather. Sometimes,people get put under weather watches that they don't need. Hey,NWS,I know another person that is more accurate than you guys,and,his name is wfreeck. Link to his wunderground blog:http://www.wunderground.com/blog/wfreeck/comment.html?entrynum=121&tstamp=200807. Thank you for your time.

The presidential debate is going to screw up my viewing of "The Biggest Loser" on NBC :(.  This makes me angry, because I take this night off every week just for that show.  I am a loyal, dedicated viewer, and if the afilliate here does not show a re-play of the show, i will be VERY ANGRY.

I bet a lot of "Dancing With The Stars" fans won't be happy either, as that takes place during the debate.  All we are going to here is he said this, but did that; the economy is bad..blah blah.  I will watch it if it's on, but man I want my biggest loser :(

I have a 92% average so far on my math class. I'm not sure if there are any others with a higher grade or not though.
Algebra?

No, it's not a specfic type. They go over pretty much every type of math.

My highest grades are currently my English and spanish grades, which I both have a 101% average in so far.

How do you get a 101% average?!?! Even with extra credit i thought u can get a 100 at most. :unsure: I have Advanced History and Spanish courses. Easy.

Post by: Mike M on October 13, 2008, 04:25:22 PM
Strangely I got full credit or even extra credit in ALL of the assignments in Spanish, including tests and projects. We are basically just reviewing the stuff we did last year, so that's why my grade is pretty high.

Illinois (or at least, my district) no longer requires you to take a foreign language in high school, starting this year. :o I really lucked out. :yes:

For as many immigrants coming into the country these days, you'd think they'd be beefing up the language requirements. :wacko:

I don't think they would add those features as they both go against the Privacy Policy they have up, I think it deals with anonymity and sorts. I know youtube administrators can view who did what though.

Same with counselors. They act like you have to panic about college. Yesterday I had a meeting with my counselor and she told me I need to start thinking where I need to go to college and career when I'm barely 1/2 through high school! I don't think it should even be their concern as to where I want to go to college, what I want to study for, etc. Heck, they even give me applications and information about Burlington Community College when I'm actually planning to go to Bucks Co. Comm. College. Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Are you really in the position to make that kind of a statement? :whistling: Your resume says everything when applying for jobs.

Right, because you are obviously raking in more money than people with college degrees. ;) You barely have a high school education, you are NOT in the position to make that kind of statement and "know what you're talking about".

A degree is a degree.
No it isnt. I don't know how else to tell you. I really wish I could make you understand, but that's clearly not possible.

Not to mention community college is only a 2 year degree. Let me put it in another way. Universities are not as easy to get into. Universities that are well known and prestigious are a lot harder to get into. Many of the people who go to said univsersities do not get their 4 year degree. That's their way of weeding out the not so good students from the really good students. An employer of a large, profitable company could look at someone's resume and see that they have a 4 year degree from a prestigious university, and that says a lot about a person (smart, hard-working, devoted, etc.).

I can't really put it any simpler. It does make a difference. If any of you here ever go to a university, you WILL understand what I'm talking about, and you WILL see the difference.

Sorry to change  subject, but I found out it was Webcam Max that was giving my tuner problems. Now I can record again on my XP Desktop. :dance:
Actually, in this case, changing the subject was a great idea.

Browsers won't give you viruses. You'll only get viruses based on what sites you visit, what you download, etc. Firefox is a very stable and secure browser though, you shouldn't have any problems with it.

The uploader probably stalled. Try removing the video from your "uploaded videos" and upload the video again. I have this problem sometimes but doing this method usually works.

I agree that a degree from a community college is just as good as from a University, so it shouldn't really matther THAT much.  As Gary said, a degree is a degree.  A degree in nursing from a community college is the same degree in nursing at a University.  That's really all I have to say about that.   :yes:

Mike- Yes, NOW is the time to start thinking about college.  You're a junior now.  You should have an idea of where you want to go, so you can send your ACT/SAT (whichever you will be taking) score to the college.

It's funny though, because when I took my ACT, I have lost interest in 3 of the 4 schools that I sent my score to :P.  But yes, you should start thinking now, which I think you mentioned you already had a community college in mine.

Trust me, if you don't make your choices in your junior year, or whenever your counselor talks to you about it, they are going to bug you more and more about it down the road ;)

I think my car is really messed up. I first noticed it when heading back to school in August. Whenever I'd travel up hill while accelerating, the car would make a jerking motion. It seems to only happen between speeds of about 40-60 mph. The jerking motion also happens occasionally when I'm sitting in traffic. At first I thought it might've been bad gasoline, because it happened right after I filled up, but I've refilled gas since then and it still does it.

The real problem (the one Matt won't tell you about) is that he's scared and running for his very life because my forum came out of the shadows and is a real threat. So now he's doing what cowards do best-saving his own ass.

It wouldn't matter if it was 2168, this kind of thing wouldn't change. I heard on the news a few days ago of a black neighborhood not far from where I live was targeted with hate letters and some people were threatened with their lives in their letters.

I've been quite busy myself.  I've been UNUSUALLY busy with school the past week to 2 weeks, trying to do my best I suppose.  I've also been getting college stuff together, and preparing myself for my 2nd ACT that I will be taking this Saturday.  Also, Sunday was my last day at my job, that I held for 1 year and 2 months, glad it's over.  I am not working at a Panera Bread that is just a little over a mile away from my house, it's good so far.

I will be visiting Northern Illinois University on November 10th..so that is for sure something to look forward to.

And, next week I've got fall break.

How's everone else doing?

I hate waking up early too. Because school starts at 7:50 for me, and the bus comes at 6:45 at my stop. I have to get up at 6:15 every school morning to take the bus. Sometimes my dad drives me to school. It's better since I get up at 7an, and we leave home at 7:20, arriving at school just before the bell rings.

I agree with both of you. I used to do that  when I was in fifth grade, but not anymore because it's TOO early for me. The bus pick me up at 6:30 AM CT, and only a little chance to watch TV. Currently, since August 25, my mom drive me to school at 7:30ish.

Interesting situation this morning.  I got up, to find out that the power had failed last night.  So, I look at my phone, and oddly enough, I woke up just a few minutes after my alarm should have sound (which it couldn't because of the PF)  Btw...it was 8:30 ish on my phone.  I turned on the computer, and it said 7:30 :dunno:  I was like..what the heck.  Then I figured that this is the weekend that DST would start, say 2 years back.  I also figured that this could have happened because about a month ago, my computer crashed and it lost everything?  Could that have been?  :dunno:

That's nothing. I get up at 5:10 AM weekdays.

My mom is still asleep when I leave for the bus at 6:40 AM, so she has no way of driving me. Of course, I could walk there, but I'd have to leave at like 6:00 to get there on time. :P Even if my mom drove me, I wouldn't really get much more sleep. The schoolday starts at 7:30 AM and I like to be at school by 7:10.

I have to get up at 6:15 every school morning to take the bus. Sometimes my dad drives me to school.
That's nothing. I get up at 5:10 AM weekdays.

My mom is still asleep when I leave for the bus at 6:40 AM, so she has no way of driving me. Of course, I could walk there, but I'd have to leave at like 6:00 to get there on time. :P Even if my mom drove me, I wouldn't really get much more sleep. The schoolday starts at 7:30 AM and I like to be at school by 7:10.
Yeah to go online...:P

I'd love to go online early in the morning, but there's no one why I can concentrate online after still waking up from a deep sleep. Plus my parents won't let me use the computer early in the morning. They only let me use my VCR, which has an auto-record feature, so It records the overnite playlist songs while I'm asleep.

There's a lot of Thunderbolts out here.  :happy: Barrington had 2, but as of May 2008, one of them has been replaced. Not sure about the last one.

They are a rarer version of the siren, though.

Is this (http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/burlington1_nj.jpg) the one you're referring to?

If so, I've seen that. It's near the corner of US-130 and CR-541 (High St.) in Burlington City. Not sure if that is used as a tornado siren too, though.

Pretty much every state has some sort of sirens.

Check out this page. It's been around forever, been has pretty much been abandoned for a while:

Try to restart firefox... if they're still not there, it's possible you may need to restore them. Click Start > Run, and type in "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles". Then open the randomly named folder. There is a folder called bookmarkbackups where there is a backup of them you could reimport if need be. What version of firefox are you using? Has this happened before? Only asking because I beta test firefox on a regular basis and just want to see if it's a bug...

Easy! Post a sign on your door saying "You ring this doorbell, you don't get candy. You knock on this door, you won't get candy." Thus nobody will bother you :P a "No Candy" sign does help too.

Well, today was an easy day...

First 30 minutes of school was the school Halloween parade
First period was study hall
Math - Did no work. We played the "name that tune" game.
Science - There was a sub so we watched a movie.
English - We worked on essays but she let us listen to our iPods
History - Did an easy map assignment
Spanish - Watched Phillies parade on CSN
Next period was study hall
Last period (special ed. study skills) we played a halloween game.


There was more people at school than I thought, but I'd say at least 300-500 people were out. It was considerably less crowded in the  halls.

my Special Ed. Study Skills teacher a few years ago had an awesome Halloween game, where he had 10 boxes with Halloween like things in there and you had to stick your hand in, without looking, and figure out what it was. For instance, one box had like "human fingers" which turned out to be hotdogs, and the like. I got the highest score that day with 9/10 :happy: one of the last things he did before he became the Special Needs guidance counselor 2 months later :( I miss those times...

Same here:

Gym - Tae-Bo!
History - Watched boring video
English - She read one of those Edgar Allen Poe stories
Math - Took a test, then did a word search
Digital Arts - Same ol' nothing.
Resource - Word Search, Internet, sitting quietly
Science - Watched actually an interesting video about where we could live if the earth kicked off.

They played the Ghostbusters song at least 3 times today over the PA system.  :sing: :dance:

My method is to simply put a sign on the door saying there's no candy here. If they knock anyway, ignore it.  B)

That's when you get over and let him go on his way. if he;s gonna have an accident (and he will driving that way) you don't want to be the other party involved in it.

Whoever thought Vista was "kewl" needs to be shot.

I think Vista needs to be scrapped and they should have some update for XP. In the next year or two, Windows 7 will be released. I hope it won't be another Vista.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Gil on November 05, 2008, 03:51:20 PM
The hardware requirements are unbelievable. You need like 4 GB  of RAM just to get the damn thing to boot.

Windows 7 doesn't look to be any better. Microsoft is too rigid in their programming department. Things would be a lot more stable if they opened everything up to different processor architectures.

Marlton is filled with cops. People here get pulled over all the time just for going slightly over the speed limit.

Gil - I had that problem once with my Bensalem/Levittown IntelliStar back in June. Everything other than the current conditions were unavailable, then I got a 48 hour forecast with portions unavailable.

Create a home network with two dial up modems and a PBX... You can have a 28.8 kbps home network and transfer text files from one computer to another!

This was all a 3 day trip (look at the history dates :P )

I had my blackberry on all the time and this is what the GPS tracking software created!

You should've come to Florida. It's warm down here. :P

The reason they look too small in Firefox was because apparently your font size was larger in IE, at least it looks that way.

BTW: You might want to enable ClearType font smoothing to get the same font smoothing in Firefox as there is in IE. You can do this by right clicking your desktop, click Properties, click Appearance, then Effects, and change the "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" setting to ClearType. Or if you prefer, you can adjust it via http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx (open in IE) which will allow you to fine tune ClearType settings. :)

Has anyone here been to Yosemite and seen what STAR they have? I'm going there at the end of January for a few days, and I'm wondering whether I should bring my tuner or not. This will probably be the last chance for me to capture an old STAR before they're all discontinued in February. :(

I HATED the Orthodonist. I had braces from around July 2004 to July 2005. After I got that out of the way, I had to get this HORRIBLE device that alligned my jaw. had that for a year and a half. I guess Im lucky that I got it out of the way, cause now I can laugh at the people in High School who currently have braces. :twothumbs:

I got Braces in 6th grade, got them taken off in 10th, they did not work because my teeth started to go back to where they were almost 8 years ago... the retainer that they make you wear for like 9 years after doesn't even fit anymore, so I just gave up and will just get something to fix them when I get some money in the future. my smile's not perfect but I'm ok.

Lots of people in my class wore braces back when I first moved to NJ in 2005. Seems that lot more people in New Jersey wear them than at my old middle school in Bensalem. I have no clue why. I was one of the VERY few who didn't wear them at that time...

I really need to get braces soon (I've been due to get them since 2004) but just don't want to go through that, and don't have the money for it. Some of my teeth (especially the bottom ones) are partially overlapping one another.

I need braces too, but at my age its too late for them. I am NOT going through that now. However, I recently heard about something called Invisalign, which WOULD be a viable option. Invisalign is supposed to straighten teeth like braces, only they aren't metal and their invisible. Something I'll certainly look into at some point.

Well, this has been interesting.  The objective?  To record the Final Jeopardy sometime in the next two weeks on the HD/digital signal to get a uber-high quality copy of the R&RJ! Think cue.

The process:
 - fancy desktop tuner, fancy graphics card, uber-fancy monitor, and shitty Windows Vista don't play nice.  Monitor blinks, has seizures, tuner can't tune channels.
 - Bust out the laptop and my Hauppauge 950 USB tuner for only it's second run since buying it in June.  Unscrew the coax cable from the desktop and plug it into my USB tuner (hooked into fancy powerful antenna).
 - USB tuner tunes channels, and picks up two more channels I didn't have before(!!!!).
 - Switch to the small portable antenna that comes with it, and *still* get the channels (normally I'd need the plug-in one.)
 - Head asplodes.

So I'm thinking of switching my major from Earth Sciences to Geography. When I came here last year, I had intended to do Meteorology (which is in the Earth Sciences department), but after realizing that I'll never make it through all the math involved (I hate math with a passion), I am thinking of switching to Geography. I love looking at maps, and all that stuff, and my current Geography class (Map Interpretation and Analysis) is one of my favorite classes I've taken thus far. Plus, the math involved in Geography is minimal (a few statistics classes, I think).
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: wxmediafan on November 14, 2008, 07:46:32 AM
Good choice in switching to Geography.  I LOVE geography as well.  When I was younger, I'd always look at maps at the store.  Geography has always been an interest.  In 7th grade.. I was in heaven when we made our own maps in our geography class.

Speaking of college, I visited Northern Illinois University this passed Monday, and I must say, I was really impressed.  Great campus.  The Science building is amazing, and has an observatory at the top.  The town of DeKalb is a little smaller than my city, so it'll be easy to get used to.  There was also another kid there, who was also interested in meteorology.  I'm going to try meteorology out, but I want to focus more on the broadcasting part of it, as that is what a local meteorologist did.  Hopefully I can do it.

Also, to Mike (replying to facebook comment):  I did not give up on Panera, my other job offered me A LOT more money, so I'll be returning to that job Monday.

Also.. I am getting a new car Saturday!! :D

This is gonna be fun. I knew we were gonna be up for some severe weather as soon as I stepped outside this morning and felt how warm it was, then later when the sun came out, I was sure of it. Sun coming out = destabilized atmosphere = severe weather.

And while the weather is warm in the NE, the weather is cold in Dallas. Today's high is not expected to get above 60 degrees. And for tonight's low, how about a chilly 37! :brr: Is it November, January, or July?

Squizz was not one of those. He had racked up quite a few posts and was quite active here for awhile. I thought for sure he was going to be one of our better members in no time.

Sorry Vic but I respectfully disagree. I've reviewed his posts, and they appear to be pretty evenly distributed around the forum. He seemed to have posted just as much in other parts of the forum as in the game room.

It is quite quiet there indeed. But Matt has become a detriment to himself, quite honestly. I think he's been arrogant one too many times and its finally biting him back. If he doesn't wake up and smell the turds soon he's gonna run TWCC right into the ground. A good start would be to realize that he is, in fact, mortal and can be defeated. Once he realizes "hey, wait, I'm not the indestructible force I thought I was", he'll realize he needs to change his ways. Only Wal-Mart can do what it wants without fear of reprecussions.  :P

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on November 16, 2008, 11:11:16 AM
He didn't seem too happy a few months back. He seemed pretty pissed off because of all of the useless posts going on at Taiganet, which was also likely why he was removed from the Emulator beta team. Whatever the reason was, I hope he decides to return soon. :(

He hasn't been on in TWCC or TWCT in over 2 months. Maybe he's disappointed at the TWC Fan community. He said awhile back he didn't appreciate how some people acted.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: lfmusiclover on November 16, 2008, 12:01:32 PM
He and I were pretty good friends, and he's never said anything to me regarding why he suddenly disappeared. In fact, he hasn't spoken to me at all since his disappearance.

As for the Taiganet issues...those are Bill's fault and Bill's alone. He decided to be an absentee administrator, and that simply will not work. He allowed us to be kept in the dark about the progress of the program, and he allowed the forum to basically crumble into a massive heap of shit. If Dan left there for that reason, I don't blame him. But he should NOT have left the rest of us too.

Only if you fail, I assume. Plus, why would anyone do that anyway? Also, schools, at least in PA, reserve the right to ask you not to come back if you fail 12th grade (as long as you're over 18).

We had snow flurries/showers here this AM and again from about 3:00pm until 4:00pm when they changed over to rain showers. No snow accumulation, though it snowed hard for awhile (PM). The forecast here is for snow showers tomorrow that may "whiten the ground in some neighborhoods" according to Accu-Weather.

Does anyone remember the tornado event that occured in Washington DC and College Park, MD in 9/24/01? Not sure if anyone remembers, but man it is SCARY to see that picture on the Washington Press cover photo of a tornado funnel just a mile away from the Washington Monument. It then struck the Univ. of Maryland campus in College Park MD killing 2 people. I remembered last year talking to someone around this time in Delaware and he was a paramedic in Maryland in Anne Arundel County. He said he knew the father who lost their twin daughters in the College Park tornado which was a f3 and he was also responsible for transporting many victims of the La Plata tornado in April 2002. He said he lived in Waldorf at the time and he saw the destruction of the tornado that it left on the town. He said while he was transporting a victim to the hospital, a car went right into the 2nd floor window on the hospital and the helipad was unusable because a giant tree rested on it. He also saw the tornado in person and remembered spotting the twister on the Chesapeake while on the way back.

His story really creeped me out. I've never met somone who witnessed a tornado so close before. I'm so surprised how Maryland has gotten many strong, deadly twisters within the past years.

It's also kinda ironic how the tornado in DC back on 9/24/01 went also right through the damaged Pentagon. (right after 9/11) and it went from the F1 in Arlington, VA to a F3 in College Park.

But the La Plata tornado just gives me the chills. It was still an F3 when it passed over the Chesapeake crossing to the other side of MD. Gosh, I hope such a strong twister doesn't strike in Jersey, really worries me a lot. That incident happened not too far from here.

While on 4/28 I don't remember any thunderstorm activity there but I do remember being in a very violent thunderstorm back in 4/3/2002. My mother and I were shopping for furniture at a rural shopping centre, and the weather was just cloudy but I didn't expect any storms. When we were ready to catch the bus back home, a HUGE and i mean HUGE lightning strike struck maybe 3 feet from us. We ran into Burger King and ate a quick lunch there for 20 minutes. The weathet got worse though. The clouds blackened, there was a lot of thunder and lightning, it was windy and there was lots of heavy rain. I remembered trying to open the door so my mom and I could get to the bus stop, but all of a sudden our bag where we kept some leftover food just flew away, and the door just slammed open w/heavy rain coming in. I was scared as hell. I closed the door, and thought how such strong wind could do that. Then I opened the door again and we ran to the bus stop. There were lightning flashes everywhere and a deafening rumble of thunder. 10 minutes passed by, and the bus came. We quickly got in as the weather got worse. There is usually a lot of people on the trip, rain or shine, but when we got on the bus there were only 2 on board. There used to be an average of 20-30 on a rainy or sunny day.

Just felt like sharing these stories to you but gosh these are some thunderstorm experiences I've listened to and have been through. I know this post is really long but I hope someone can take the time to read this post and share their "worst" thunderstorm experience. I also have another story to share equally as scary, but I'll post it later on.

I would like to share my story of the 6/5/07 Tornado

It all started at about 2PM in my 4th grade classroom, one day until the last day of school, and me and a friend were cleaning and dusting the room, it was pouring, then after we were finished we sat back down to finish the video the rest of the class was watching. A little later, at around 2:45 I was walking to my bus and the sun was shining, I got on the bus, went to my grandma's house and started to relax and watch a "Full House" Rerun. At around 4 I started to flip through the channels when I saw Ken Shultz and the "First Alert Doppler Radar" and saw there was a severe thunderstorm in Northwestern Shelby County (the county to the west of Franklin County, where Frankfort is). As it got towards 4:30 the thunderstorm became tornadic and then moved ESE into Franklin County, at that point the NWS issued a Tornado warning for Southeastern Shelby and Franklin Counties (at this point I was freaking out, and I was screaming like crazy) then my uncle (who lives a stone's throw away from my Grandma) called and was coming to take me and my Grandma to his house. When we arrived at his house I was climbing the stairs and the wind was blowing, and the Tornado Siren behind the old Bridgeport School was blaring. We started watching WHAS 11. As we were it was pouring and we had hail the size of peas or small marbles. After that we went back to my grandma's house, then about 15 mintues later my mom came to take me home.

That day there were no spotter reports of tornadoes, but for me a tornado warning is enough to scare the shit outta me!

Cable internet is shared. Meaning your neighbors with Comcast also uses some of the bandwidth. More neighbors using the internet=slower internet. Fewer=faster.

As for Taiganet, you got that right.  :rofl:

Of course, the problem for me is not them being annoying, its that I end up taking the fall for their behavior.  <_<

So I take it your over your flu-like illness?  :D
Pretty much. No idea what that was all about. :unsure:

I still ache a little, but no where near as bad as yesterday.

Doesn't sound like the flu to me. You usually get the chills and a fever along with the aches.  :yes:

And it usually lasts a couple days, before it starts to clear up.  :yes:
Maybe I pulled something, or slept funny. :thinking: I don't know though, I've never had it happen before. It felt like a heart attack, but it lasted all day.

Haha - yeah, Gary, just after I posted that I noticed the threads about it, and no, I didn't fall asleep in the shower, though it has happend before. I just had to do some work stuff before my shower. :P

Basically, I was down at TWC for an install this past week.. I can't yet disclose what was installed, but I can tell you that over 3 quarters of the control room staff have been laid off because of this install. Basically, for a typical crew, not under S/A or anything, there are only 2 people running the shows now.

Uh, Chris, your way out in left field bud.  :D

Guys, can I ask a question? Exactly how did this conversation develop over Jesse's comments? Let me put it this way: your men, and men think about sex. Want an interesting statistic? 99% of men do. The same percent "spend extra time in the shower", so to speak. 75% of women do the same.

So, its not societal in nature. Its HUMAN nature. Its what we do. It's the way God programmed us to be.

And you can deny all you want, but your full of boloney. EVERYBODY does it and thinks about(especially when it comes to us males!). Know what they say? 99% do it, the other percent lie.

Oh, and I'm only assuming here that this is what Jesse was implying when he said what he did. I think anyone would make that assumption based on what he said and how he said it.

Just to have my input, I like a da' boobies!

Oh, and back to my topic: main reason for TWC Control Room production staff layoffs:

http://www.rossvideo.com/overdrive/overdrive_overview.html

Shows like A&B, EE, FO, have two people whom are controling the whole show (technically one, but another is there as the producer / backup). Any show is really like this unless TWC is in storm alert, then the control room has about 4 or 5 people in it.

This product, Overdrive, allows you to create the entire show from scratch create a run down, then at the top of the hour when you go live, automate the whole thing with the tap of the spacebar. Cameras, lights, CG, video servers, switcher, audio board, screens, are ALL controlled with this one computer.

Sure everyone thinks that. I'm not denying it, or am I complaining about it. I'm sick of it being the focalpoint of every form of entertainment. Turn on the TV, go see a movie, read on the internet and listen to music. IT'S ALL ABOUT SEX!!! It's become the only thing that society cares and talks about. This is new with our generation too. It's disgusting on so many levels.

Only if you fail, I assume. Plus, why would anyone do that anyway? Also, schools, at least in PA, reserve the right to ask you not to come back if you fail 12th grade (as long as you're over 18).
The thing is, I don't know a whole lot of people in my class. Most people are in the classes of 2011 and 2012. So when I have my reunions and such, I wouldn't know a whole lot of people.

([url]http://vicb14.googlepages.com/Geofigure.JPG[/url])

Well, you know that angle A and angle E are congruent (alternate interior angles), so you can set the two equations equal to each other to find x. Then, since angle B is also congruent to angle E (corresponding angles), set the two equations equal to each other, plug in the value you found for x, and you should get y.

At least that's how I *think* you do it. I've pretty much forgotten everything I learned last year, so it may not be correct. lol Hope this helps! :)

That would help explain the confusion... I thought you were trying to find the lengths of the lines, I was like "wtf"... Derek is correct.

4x + 5 = 5x - 13
5 = x - 13
18 = x

thus you now have X, which is 18. Now for the next step
4(18)+5 = 3y - 1
77 = 3y - 1
78 = 3y
26 = y

So in conclusion, X = 18 and Y = 26. Hope this helps.

So in conclusion, X = 18 and Y = 26. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys! But how did you get rid of 4x+5?

OK, could someone help me with a  geometry problem? I need to know the values of x and y that makes AE parallel to BF, and I know a lot of people are good with math so if you could please help, thanks. Here's the drawing, as best as i did

([url]http://vicb14.googlepages.com/Geofigure.JPG[/url])

Well, you know that angle A and angle E are congruent (alternate interior angles), so you can set the two equations equal to each other to find x. Then, since angle B is also congruent to angle E (corresponding angles), set the two equations equal to each other, plug in the value you found for x, and you should get y.

At least that's how I *think* you do it. I've pretty much forgotten everything I learned last year, so it may not be correct. lol Hope this helps! :)
That would help explain the confusion... I thought you were trying to find the lengths of the lines, I was like "wtf"... Derek is correct.

4x + 5 = 5x - 13
5 = x - 13
18 = x

thus you now have X, which is 18. Now for the next step
4(18)+5 = 3y - 1
77 = 3y - 1
78 = 3y
26 = y

So in conclusion, X = 18 and Y = 26. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys! But how did you get rid of 4x+5?
substitution... I figured out X, thus I substituted the X from 4x+5 with 18 to get 4(18)+5

A few people at school tell me that having the radio down low helps them go to sleep. I need to try that. Lately it's been taking me at least a half hour to go to sleep, and it's only like that during the week. No clue why.

That's an interesting rainbow. It's upside down! Methinks it wasn't your average rainbow. The rainbow looks like its over a contrail left by an aircraft. The gases, water vapor,  and air from the contrail probably caused that rainbow to appear.

They just built a new Circuit City in the new shopping center by my house. No more than 2 weeks after it first opened, it closed. Now THAT's corporate planning. :rofl2:

Best Buy, Circuit city, and CompUSA all suck.

I worked at the one you're referring to from September 2007 to March 2008... I can promise you I helped demolish the inside of that place with sledge hammers March 3 and March 4... I guarantee you it's not there anymore ;) It's a Modell's now.

I could tell that place was gonna go soon. The last time (and only time) I was in that location was in September 2007 to get a new optical drive. They weren't as stocked as the one I usually went to (which closed in 2006 or early 07), and there seemed to be less employees in there. It just didn't look as nice as other locations I've been to.

Good parents love you unconditionally. Your free to live however you choose, and your parents need to accept that you've chosen to be with a male. All humans deserve to be loved, no matter whether their straight or gay. Your parents should only be concerned about whether your happy. And if your happy, they should be happy.  :yes:

I have an aunt that's gay, so maybe I'm a little more open minded than others.

Gil, your extremely insensitive.
Nope, I'm practical. :)

Practically assanine.  :happy:
That's what society is all about these days. Just trying to fit in. :D

Your 14 friggin' years old. Don't pretend you know anything about society.  :thumbsup:
You'd be amazed at what I've seen.  :blink:

Seeing things, and actually being able to comprehend what you've seen are very different things. Being able to comprehend comes with experience and knowledge. At 14, you lack both.

Not that I care in the least bit, but how exactly do you come to that conclusion. As far as I can remember, no one here (or any online place) knows anything about me. :huh:

Something I noticed: the Jr emulator boards are gone. Has the project been scrapped?

It has nothing to do with you specifically. NO 14 year old is experienced enough to have any idea how society works.

The Jr. boards are hidden until Kyle moves forward with the project again.

When your only 14 there aren't that many variables to consider. And it all goes back to having the knowledge and experience to KNOW. Just because you've seen things doesn't mean you an actually UNDERSTAND those things.

I've been in a relationship for over 11 months now and I just couldn't handle the 7 years of lies to my parents anymore, so I had to tell them. Of course I took the stereotypical route, which wasn't my intent, but I did anyway. I wrote them a letter and I asked them to read it as it was important. It was based off of the letter in the gay bible (aka XY magazine) and I just handed it to them. It's been over 2.5 hours now and they still haven't come to talk to me yet. My bedroom door's been wide open since I walked back into the house after running. :/

I HAVE facts Gil. Every 14 year old thinks they have it oh so hard. that's because they don't have the life experience to realize that they really don't have it so bad. That's not to say life is necessarily peachy. Just that you could have it far worse than you do.

Did anyone else witness the hilarity that is the Detroit Lions yesterday?  As a Detroit area resident, I have to see/hear about them every week, but yesterday the entire nation got to see live just how bad they really are.  A 47-10 loss to the Titans, and are now 0-12 on the season.  Could we be looking at the first 0-16 team in NFL history?  :no:

I agree.  I think the NFL should take the Thanksgiving game away from the Lions.  I'm sure there are plenty of more deserving teams that would love be in the spotlight on Thanksgiving.  Why should Lions keep getting that game (aside from silly tradition)?

Has anyone ever played the Trammell Starks set over a surround sound system? I did it this morning, and surprisingly, it sounds REALLY good if you have a big enough subwoofer. I had TWC on in the background, and found on multiple ocassions, the music would follow the LF, creating pretty good time-ins.

I agree.  I think the NFL should take the Thanksgiving game away from the Lions.  I'm sure there are plenty of more deserving teams that would love be in the spotlight on Thanksgiving.

Can anyone say Steelers? :whistling:

I was thinking Ravens (who by the way will be smearing the Steelers on SNF two weeks from now).  :D :P

Crash course in technology:

You might be picking up what's called QAM channels...all digital cable channels are in reality sub-channels of the original 125, then mapped to big numbers.  Most providers provide in-the-clear QAM with local digital (meaning you get HD channels), and possibliy some bonus channels (if you're lucky).

Also, you can have only one HD channel per OTA station currently...two makes the picture look like shit (not joking).

I know what the QAM channels here are; they're on channels 71.1 through 71.11.

These other channels I'm picking up, like 8.x, 21.x, 27.x, and 33.x all correspond to the OTA frequencies these channels are on. Plus, unlike the QAM channels I'm getting, these OTA channels have digital blocky noise to them. Furthermore, the channels that have their transmitters further away tend to be cutting out more. Also, last night, which was a clear/partly cloudy night, I could pick up the channels a lot better that I can now in the rain and fog.

Well - TWN has offically launched its Winter Programming grid. We spent the past few days releasing the updates.

Overall PMX software changes
- Highway Conditions added, all other seasonal features removed.
- New dynamic forecast sponsorship tags. (Travel companies can now put live real-time destination temps on screen seamlessly)
- All logos (including standby screens) have been updated with the "20 years" logo(s).
- New 96 Hour precipitation forecast screen has been added, thus removing the "Coming up" screen at the end of the locals.

Anyone know why I'm getting an error when I attempt to upload certain videos to YouTube?

Upload Failed: An unknown error occurred.

It's quite annoying. I see no reason why the upload would fail seeing the videos are just WMVs, about 10 MB in size.  :dunno:

I would guess then that their probably just having some sort of technical difficulty. Is there a way to contact them to let them know of this problem? If so, I'd definitely would do that.

I remember in 7th grade, before phones were even allowed in school (off or not), during health, someone's phone went off, and the person wouldn't admit to it, so the teacher called security and every single one of us got searched. The confiscated something like 15 phones. :pinch:

Why does it annoy you when someone else is text messaging in class?  I don't see how that takes away from you learning.

Anyways, I'll admit to texting.  But, I RARELY do it in school.  I don't see a point in it.  It's not worth getting your phone taken away.

Because those kids who fail and get poor grades in my class do nothing but text message the entier period. Instead of paying attention , they just keep text messaging. Those who do perform well don't text message at class, usually between periods.

Not many people in my school text in class. Even if they do, the teachers just tell them to put them away and not confiscate them. I never bring my phone to school (in fact, I rarely ever use it at all, it's off most of the time).

It has yet to get above 15 degrees today. :brr: :brr: :brr:

I had a horrible day.  I was running late this morning, woke up with a headache, got a D on my math test, cut my hand on my locker, came home and learned that my dog of 14 years had to be put to sleep today :(  Loosing an animal is so hard, espeically for my mom.

Sorry to hear that. :(

My cat, who was 17-18, was put to sleep back in August. She was with my dad, who lives alone during the week so it was hard for him, though he still has a bird. I've been looking at cats to adopt, though.

Yeah I've lost 3 dogs as well...and it sucks.  They are definitely part of the family.  My grandma had to put her stray cat down 3 days before my dog..so it's been hard.  My grandma lost all three of her cats within a month, 2 of them within 2 days!  I felt so bad for her. (This was a couple years back)

Mike- I remember hearing about your cat.  But 17-18 years is a long time.  That shows that you and your family took great care.

Snow is always better than ice and less dangerous to be in until you live in the south then it's all bad to drivers and pedestrians

It's bad to drivers and pedestrians anywhere you look, especially in the south.  Here in Illinois, it seems everyone's from the south when it ices...or snows for that matter.

So, I was walking to the store earlier this afternoon, and on the way I saw what may just be the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. There's a Bank of America just before you get to the store, and I was walking past it when some guy driving some little silver car came past me and turned into the bank driveway-only it was the exit driveway. He then proceeds to enter the drive-thru banking lane, the wrong way. By now I'm trying not to lose it, and start walking as fast as I can to get away because I know this guys not done being stupid, and that I'd be in hysterics if I saw any more. Sure enough, after sitting in the drive-thru the wrong way for about 5 minutes he finally pulls through and continues driving the wrong way to the front of the building. The driveway to the front of the building is one way, so if someone comes around from the other side of the building going the right way, there's going to be a problem. Now I've lost it. I'm trying to walk forward while looking to the side because I'm laughing my ass off at the guy and don't want him to see that. So finally the guy finds some way to pull off a U-Turn and pulls back through the drive-thru, this time the correct way, and exits the same way he entered, only this time going the right direction through the driveway. By now I'm doing everything I can to keep from falling to the pavement in laughter.

Not sure what the guy was trying to do, but evidently he wasn't familiar with the area or something.

Just when you think you've seen it all, eh?  :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Boy if I had a nickel for everytime I saw something like that. :wacko:

A similar situation happened this summer, when my dad and I were going to the bank. As we were driving into the entrance, a one-way, this guy is trying to come out (wrong way) at the same time. So we proceed to enter, the right way, but the other guy is now blocking us. We must've sit there for at least 20 seconds, because the idiot wouldn't move!!! finally he backs up and goes around.

Such fucking idiots in society. <_< What's worse, is when they think that they are doing the right thing when breaking rules. If only people could get fined for being stupid.

Central and Southen MS and Al is expected to get some snow, maybe even some light accumlations! That really shows how powerful this storm system is and the COLD air mass that's following it. TWC had snow for my area for Thursdat noght , but they removed it a couple of days ago, I still wouldn't rule it though.

APPARENTLY, there is a salt shortage. Even the largest and busiest roads are an absolute nightmare to drive in. Last night, what normally would've been a 10 minute drive, turned into an agonizing 35 minute ordeal. Roads are icy as hell.

This is the second time they've filed for bankruptcy. The last time was in 2004. I'm assuming this time they've gone bankrupt for good.

KB Toys wasn't doing so hot anyway. Most of the stores here closed by 2004. I figured it would go out of business soon.

Linens N Things (home furnishing store) is also going out of business.  They had good stuff there, sad to see it go. :( There is one in Langhorne, PA that opened within just the past five years.

At the Pittsburgh Mills Mall, there are two Starbucks inside the mall (one at entrance 1/North Shops and one at entrance 3/Sports); as well as a full Starbucks outside the mall in "the Village." That's 3 all within like 2 square miles!

What's even scarier is that on his way home from work, my dad encountered some ice while driving, and the ice actually turned his car completely sideways!!! :o Thank goodness he is okay; had there been any vehicles next to him, I don't know what would have happened. :no:

So what's up with the STAR Team at TWCC? Is it really so slow over there that they've taken it upon themselves to try and get things to pick up? I saw the thread they posted yesterday in regards to yesterday morning's LF blooper, and quite frankly, reading it almost made ME fall of MY chair. They've never seen a screw-up on the LF before?

You know, Steve might just have something there. In all my years at TWCC, I never once saw the STAR Team talk about ANY blooper that's EVER occurred on the LF (and, as we know, there have been plenty!  :rofl: ). So I completely agree that there's more to the story than meets the eye. My first impression of the STAR Team's post was that it seemed staged/scripted.

I smell scandal.  :bleh:

There was a 45 minute stopdown to discuss things with Standards and Practices.  The time sucked the life out of him.

I was a fan of Drew in Season 36.  I've held on to faith here in Season 37.  It's getting dangerously close to getting a recording device and watching it that way.

Its pretty much understood by both students and staff, that we are going to have a Snow Day tomorrow! A foot of snow, and 1/4" ice is possible. Plus, the village of Barrington has a salt shortage, and they've already been spreading salt VERY thinly.

So if it's foggy outside...As soon as it "hits" an object, it turns to water? That's weird. How do they determine that?

Basically. If you've ever been outside on a foggy day you've noticed that the ground seems a bit damp, as do cars and other objects. In freezing fog, the water droplets that make fog freeze the surfaces they touch instead of making them damp.

As to how the determine that...I'm not a meteorologist. 'nuff said.  :bleh: :D

Normally, it will only take a few minutes, depending on the size of the file and the connection speed. YouTube's server can decide to act up at times and it won't want to upload.

My slingbox recordings with the At Large recorder are Asfs. The reason you often see a lot commercials in my lf clips is because it's easier to upload the .asf file driectly to Youtube. It's less hassling than WinTV and compressing/editing it in Movie Maker. Also I get HQ video directly from the tuner rather than WinTV since the asf file is only around 15 MB. The raw mpg files from WinTV are around 42MB. That's quite big and it takes a while to uploading mpgs at times.

If there's anyone here who know's Windows 98, can anyone tell me why I can't get the 4k emulator to install on my Virtual PC using 98? :thinking:

I got it to work on the real Windows 98 I had. :unsure:
Did you install the .NET Framework 1.1?
Well, it's only when I open the install file. :wacko:

If possible, I'll install the .NET framework, and give a screenshot. ;)
Here's an error I get while trying to install the .NET Framework. <_<

return it immediately. You get a lot of static, dropped calls, and poor customer service. I know this from experience and the experience my friends have had. I do not trust my usb port to give me telephone service. You're better off getting something like Vonage.

Post by: lfmusiclover on December 24, 2008, 10:20:47 PM
It was shut down. The reason they gave was that it was just not part of their plans, but I think pretty much everyone agreed that that reason is BS.

Zack, the actual answer is no. Taiganet has been around about as long as the TWCMB. Taiganet was originally a site for people who played a game called Counter-Strike. Bill ran a CS server, and that was his CS forum. Later on he started the emulator, and both shared one forum. Eventually he got out of CS and removed the CS related boards. Interestingly, if you look far enough back, some CS related content still remains on the forum.  :yes:

We sure were on a roller coaster ride in terms of temperatures. Yesterday afternoon, we were in the mid 40's. By midnight, we went up to 62º when a warm front went through. Just hours later, we were back in the 40's again. :wacko:

TWC's msg boards were a disaster since like 2-3 years after its debut (I think they debuted in 2000 or 2001). I wasn't surprised at all when I heard the news about them shutting down. I was a member there but I barely posted at all. Trust me, it wasn't worth being there.

No, and that's another reason why I hate PC's. It's impossible to get the right information. People always say PC's are better than Macs, becuase you can use lots of different hardware and software. Thats great, but Macs are "closed-circle", so you get precise support with hardware and software issues. No BIOS crap either.

Everything on a Mac, just works.

That's my rant for the day.

The problem with OS X is that you can't use a USB external drive as a boot disk on PPC models. You have to use Firewire, which seems to be slowly phasing out these days.

it's going to continue to phase out since USB 3.0 was finalized, which is supposed to be faster than firewire from that I heard.

Jeez, Vic. Did it ever occur to you that maybe we have lives outside the computer?? I'm sorry, but I really don't want to sit around 24/7 giving info on unavailable songs to the countless folks who bug me everyday. Plus, my email has been buggy lately, which has prevented me from communicating with people.

I thought my bed was right on top of the surge along with debris, I woke up screaming only to find out there was no tsunami. :blink: Oddly enough, yesterday was the 4th year anniversary of those tsunamis in south asia.

2006 was an excellent year, after a not so good 2005. At the start of 2006 I had just moved into NJ (I moved late 2005), which made things much easier. My best year however would be 2003-04 school year.

2008 has been great to me. Made lots of new friends, kept in touch with other friends, held the same, fairly well-paying job since January, got accepted all 4 universities that I applied to, and much more. Here's to a good 2009 (graduation year; start of college, etc).

2008 overall was a great year, but started a bit rough between Mike and me, and soon we became friends again. I hope it stays that way, though. And, I really want to thank you Mike for all the advice you've given me when I have had hard times I've dealt with, and especially you Derek, Victor, and Gary, and many other TWC Fans. My hope is that 2009 stays good.

Also, a lot of people still use Windows in a server environment because of commercial development happens a lot more on the Windows platform than Unix. Also, sometimes it might be because of ease of use by certian people.

I've always been fascinated by police car designs (I like designing things, and I plan to become a police officer, so go figure), and I always found Pittsburgh's cruisers to be hideous. I think they can finally be welcomed to the 21st century! I really like their new outfitted Impalas. Go ahead, call me a loser. :bleh:

Most of the police cruisers around here are Ford Crown Victorias, but the other day I saw a Dodge Charger. I also think we have some SUVs, either Chevy Suburbans or Ford Explorers... Today, I saw a county sheriff cruiser that was a Chevy Impala.

Up at school, they have a mixture of Ford Crown Victorias, Dodge Intrepids, and a Ford Explorer.

Bensalem just purchased new cars within the past year or two, all of which are black and white Ford Crown Victorias, Explorers, and E-Series Vans. In Marlton, most of what I see are just Crown Victorias, also black and white cars purchased within the past two years. Occasionally I still see the older white cruisers.

I just watched the simpsons, the one when santa's little helper joined the police force and bart gets a boa constrictor? Well apparently the snake knocks over a beaker of ethanol and nitric acid, and I think to myself "I know that makes nitromethane, which is rocket fuel, but how can I turn that into a molecular formula?"

So I try to do it... But, I am having trouble figuring out what the coefficients are supposed to be and whether water is a byproduct.... Now, I know methanol and nitric acid turn into nitromethane and water... so wtf... This is bugging me and I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure this out....

Using Ethanol and Nitric Acid without a water byproduct:
__C2H6O + __HNO3 => __CH3NO2

Using Ethanol and Nitric Acid with a water byproduct:
__C2H6O + __HNO3 => __CH3NO2 + __H2O

Using Methanol and Nitric Acid:
CH3OH + HNO3 => CH3NO2 + H2O
with this, it makes sense that H2O comes out of the equation to make it all add up.

Maybe I'm diving in too deep with this... I don't know.

It seems as though I was wrong.... I had help and we have come to this conclusion how the two (ethanol and nitric acid) can mix....

C2H6O + HNO3 + O2 => CH3NO2 + CO2 + 2H2O

You add oxygen so that the two can combust using a combustion reaction to create rocket fuel, carbon dioxide, and water.
It took us a few hours to figure this out. Man, I haven't taken Chemistry in a while. lol

Long story short, some of the liquid inside the can got out through the tube and into the power supply. It's most definitely flammable.

I figured that same thing too, until I heard it play on dozens of commercials and channels here, and even on my Jeff Dunham DVD. I then decided to do a bit of searching and sure enough, I came up with the song.

ESPN2?  Nope.
Regional Sports Network?  Nope (was on another TV).
Heck...Price is Right?  Nope.

In glorious(?) HD...The View.  And on the *other* 50-inch plasma...The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet.

Yep - Weathercaster is still slowly in the works.

The live feed will be  re-appearing sometime tonight, the feed was taken down as I actually needed the encoder machine, as a sandbox server to copy weathercaster logs every 30 minutes (internal storage wipes them every half hour as they get pretty big.)

I just read that he had a procedure called the Whipple Procedure in order to remove the tumor from his pancreas. In this procedure, your digestive system is more or less completely rearranged. Amongst other things, one side effect is significant weight loss. This MIGHT explain Steve's appearance.

He had a tumor in his pancreas. How the tumor developed, I don't know.  :dunno:

That's odd. :huh: Sucks that he has it though. Kinda like Gary Papa from WPVI, he has prostate cancer and it came back 3 times for him. He was actually bald on air, never saw him bald before. :blink: O_o

I've seen him bald for years now.... I've gotten used to it.

Also, cancer is basically abnormal growth of cells in which their key function is compromised because of this... at least that's what my bio teacher told me years ago...

There's a bit more to it than that, although your teacher was on the right track.  :yes:

Which is really unfortunate :(.

My boss is REALLY lucky at work.  She found out she had cervical cancer in the beginning of December.  Luckily, to get the cancer out, they didn't have to dig much into the cervix to get the cancer out, so there is still hope she can have more kids.

My mom had a tumor in her appendix.

My grandfather had to have his appendix removed 12 years ago. He's still living okay to this day (along with my two other grandparents), though I wish he'd stop drinking so much, especially at his age (71).

Yeah, appendicies don't do anything.. haha.  Mom mom's bursted into 3 parts, and spread throughout her stomach area.  She was really close to it reaching her lungs.  It was while they were in there, they found a tumor on her appendix.

I've had 2 close calls with my appendix, but they said it was an attack sort of thing..but it hurt like hell.

I don't really know if i said anything about this, but if i didn't...on December 10, 2008 - my position at freddy's was eliminated, by yours truly, meaning i quit.

well, now after less than a month...i went into the restaurant to see how things were goin, I learned multiple things

1) the manager who prompted me to quit my job was let go
2) due to the mentioned manager above, many people quit.
3) one of the coolest managers quit, we were really tight...he reportedly quit shortly after I did.
4) they "needed" a closer. (that was me when i was working there)

so taking this into consideration, I liked working there...the manager let go was a douche. but i'm not really sure if i want to go back, however I picked up an application to reapply (not that i have to)...thoughts? good/bad idea? i don't plan on starting asap, i, as a matter a fact will not be available to work until mid February, i mentioned this in my application.

Walmart= :thumbdown: . Target is much better despite it being a little more expensive. I also like Kmart but there hasn't been as many since they declared backruptcy back in 2002. Everyone at my school LOVES Walmart, which I don't understand why.

Neither one is better than the other one imo, Target is more expensive when it comes to electronics and games, how can $49.99 be a sale when $50 is the average cost of most video games? At least they aren't as expensive as Best Buy their Simpsons DVDs cost $42 when it only cost half of that at Target and Walmart. Best Buy my ass.  <_<

The smart alecky answer to that is one I'm not allowed to say as it would break the rules of this forum. The real answer is because Walmart is taking over the country... Notice that as they become bigger and bigger, more and more things are closing down... for a small town that has a Walmart, other businesses most likely don't stand a chance. I would recommend watching the Walmart - The High Cost of Low Prices documentary.

Do you have any idea how much Apple's stock would tank if it turned out that Steve was terminally ill? That company practically revolves around him. I think that if he should have to be replaced, they should put Gil Amelio back in.

You know what happens when the yodely guy falls off the cliff in Cliff Hangers on Price is Right?  Replace him with the stock price.

(Apple stock rose something like 5% the day Jobs announced it was a hormone imbalance.)

True, but anything's possible when you watch a man become a shadow of his former self. And terminal cancer will do that. My neighbor was skin and bones by the time he took his last breath. A sad sight to see indeed, especially since I'd known him for almost 20 years.

February 17 is such a rediculous day to do anything major on. Why not the first of the month?

Post by: tpirfan28 on January 08, 2009, 04:24:13 PM
Wouldn't be February...the Super Bowl is touted at the last major sporting/television event before the transition.

Also...the typical February sweeps period is now March because of this.

Hello, how is everyone?  I've been a bit busy over the last few weeks, that, and I've lost my interest in all things Weather Channel lately.  Sometimes that happens, I guess.  I've been watching a few old TWC videos, and that just brought me back.  I plan to engage a little more around these parts, and Taiganet as well. :)

Get a load of this:

"Monday night about 9:30 City Officer Bob DeLee was in the Wal-Mart parking lot and observed 25 year old Nichole Dudek of Plymouth parking a vehicle.  After verifying that she had been served trespassing papers from Wal-Mart properties Officer DeLee arrested Ms. Dudek.  She was transported to the Marshall County Jail and charged with trespass, entering after being denied entrance.  She was able to post the $250 cash bond and was released at 11:50 p.m. "

Trespassing papers from WAL-MART.

I hope this is not true  :( :no: :hmm:

and here's my comment about the Article

So much for the new High Defintion channels to come after the So-called Transition. America should have a say in this decision! and i bet 84% want the transition on Feb 17th and no later, because if this extension were to happen(imagine how many people would of switched for nothing and how us digital customers will have to stick with the on and on DTV Scrolls and Annoying commercials on this topic for a very long time to come!!).

I say just keep the date February 17th.  It has been known for a year and half or so (maybe even longer than that) that analog was going to be gone next month.  People should have figured out that they need a coupon a long time ago.  If the government is out of coupons, I guess that's unfortunate for those who didn't get the coupons in time.

Snow during the morning will become heavy at times during the afternoon. Snowfall rates of an inch or more per hour will greatly reduce visibilities. High 31F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. 5 to 8 inches of snow expected.

Scratch that. We ended up with only about an inch, and then everything changed to freezing rain for about an hour, and now straight rain.

TWC was wrong in the snow predictions yesterday for here. :thumbdown: Except mine was the opposite - TWC predicted 2-3 inches, when we actually got about 8.

Was hard to tell with this one.  Seemed like yesterday we got a couple of inches through at least 11PM or so, then when I woke up this morning it was a dump.

Do it with your personality, not your looks. Girls don't go for looks as much as you think. They'll take a guy with a decent personality over a guy that looks good more often than not. Trust me, if anyone can tell you that its me.  :thumbsup: B)

Hair color makes no difference. Those girls are likely naturally blond. Making your hair blond won't attract blond girls. And truthfully, darker haired girls are just as great as blonds. Like I said, focus on the inside, not whats on the outside. Sounds cliche, I know, but its true.

My hair is red, but it's black on the sides and on the back near my neck. A lot of people ask me why it's like that, and it gets annoying. I've been wanting to dye the black parts red so people would stop asking me about it, but I don't know how that would look...

I do agree with Gary though, Vic. I wouldn't dye your hair blonde just to attract girls.

You're misunderstanding the DTV transition completely... Just because over the air channels are going digital, doesn't mean that cable company lineups will do the same. The all digital switch for cable companies, iirc, is not mandated until 2012... Anything 2-99 on a cable company's lineup is pretty much analog, and the downconverted digital over the air channels will still be analog on the lineup. Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I think I explained it properly.

Comcast has their own "DTV Transition" plans. They are in a lot of areas getting rid of the Expanded Basic tier of analog and putting it in all digital.

Also, the boxes that they have available for older analog TVs are called "DTA"s and they are much cheaper than a full box. For Comcast you can get 2 for free, and I think its about a dollar for another.

What do they mean by "bandwidth" for a channel? Like I heard adding individual Intellistars to satellite companies take too much bandwidth?
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: narunetto on January 12, 2009, 06:32:26 PM
Each cable system has an allotted space of bandwidth. It's similar to internet bandwidth, but a bit different. Analog channels take up a massive amount of bandwidth compared to compressed MPEG2 channels. I don't remember what the ratio is, but I think it was about 5-6 SD MPEG2 compressed to one NTSC Analog channel.

Good point. IDK smooth jazz now sounds just like the same. There's barely any variety. I enjoyed smooth jazz from early this decade and even the 90s but now within the past 2-3 years, most of the new jazz albums coming out sound horrible.

Same here. We're gonna have highs in the teens and low 20's and lows in the single digits for the next five or so days. The weatherman on WBAL says this is the coldest air we've seen since 1994. That was one VERY frigid winter.  :yes:

Were gonna see single digit temps here too, the closer we keep getting to the cold the further it trends colder in the forecast, the last time we saw single digits here was the first time I saw a Wind Chill Advisory and school was cancelled for fear of frostbite.:blink: I'm glad that was on a Friday.

Child please, rap is one of the best and fastest growing genres and is getting softer, while people in the rock genre is now starting to scream their heads off just to hear themselves. Rock and metal hurts my ears and they get on my bloody nerves. And just for the record, I am a rapper. :angry:

Here it is, but its totally greek to me!  :rofl:

Wind chill temperature = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75V (**0.16) + 0.4275TV(**0.16)

In the formula, V is in the wind speed in statute miles per hour, and T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

CBS 3 lost me as a viewer back in early 2003 when they rebranded themselves and a lot of the hosts left (Larry Kane, Tom Negavan, Amy Caples, etc).

It was a brutal morning here.  Temp of -27 a couple of hours ago.  That's of course a record for the day.  But, that is just one shy from the all time record low in my city.  It's CRAZY!  Not sure what the wind chill was.  Probably around -40, since the winds aren't really moving that much.

I did this to another board, which I actually ran through the dishwasher. :biggrin:

Basically, this process can be very beneficial, if you know what your doing. For a computer of this age (1994), soaking it in isopropyl alcohol will remove electrolytic fluid from leaking capacitors, as well as cleaning dust that causes other problems. Distilled water is also good. I soaked it in the alcohol for 2 days, then I switched it today for distilled water, where it will sit for another 2 days. Then it will have to dry for at least 5 days.

I'm going to do this to all of my logic boards, hopefully.

Well, today she told me she was leaving Wendy's for another job, which propelled me to finally take the plunge and send her a message on MySpace. Now comes the hard part-waiting to see if she replies, and if she does, what she says.  :fear:

I will be super mad if they do switch it.  I was reading an article the other day in the paper, and one of the GM's of a station said that it would cost more money for the broadcasters to keep running the analog signal (maybe the analog and digital signal..) Idk..but I don't like the idea one bit.  It's been February 17th, 2009 for 3 1/2 (give or take a few months) years.  Why change it.  Just buy it.  If TV is SUCH a necessity for the person, then it'll be a good investment on their part.

My school is celebrating Inauguration Day by doing special political/presidential lessons that day. IMO, that's a terrible idea. Do they not realize that there are many people like myself who have no interest in politics, not to mention that final exams are also later that week? We should be studying for that, not some stupid presidential inauguration. It's not like a person with a different skin color is going to hugely impact our country (well, it shouldn't anyway).

I disagree with your first statement.  School is not about who is interested in what, so you'll have to get over that part.

I do, however, agree with the second part-to an extent.  I do believe that this is being all hyped up because it is Obama.  But, an inauguration isn't stupid.  It is a sign for hope and change (not just Obama, but with EVERY new president who wants to change the country).  And yes, finals are important, but what's one day?  Just my opinion though.

Well, the midterm exams are semester finals. Plus there is one semesterized course I take (Health), so that exam would be considered a final, not a midterm exam. It wouldn't be possible to have them before Holiday Break unless school were to start a month earlier (right now, school always starts here two days after Labor Day).

The IS is intelligent because it makes its playlists based on region and precipitation.

Commercial feature is triggered by a 5 volt trigger port in the back of the unit.. a DOS machine could trigger this. Not that "intelligent".

I don't know about commercials, but I know it's capable of showing weather forecast screens after a commercial (i.e. UV index after a transitions glasses commercial, outdoor activity, etc). I just remembered I have some clips of these screens on a tape I have from 2004. I can upload them if anyone's interested.

It's been there the whole time. And we see it everyday - we just don't realize it. And Gil is right. For example, if cold weather is in the area, a soup commercial might air instead of a a different, random commercial. Pretty neat, IMO.

Sorry to hear it Vic. Did you get any emails regarding which videos were detected. Would be interesting to see if it was for a certain artist. Anyway Ive been in your same situation. Had to start over on my YT account and I am still uploading archived data. Good luck! Oh and dont use your same email to sign up or sign up with a different email and then switch to your old email. They instantly suspend your account
Yes. I had a few Nickelodeon videos that I uploaded over a year ago and I guess Viacom finally found out. Also I have gotten too many copyright notices from YT. I got at least 12. I guess I got so many notices, that Youtube decide to terminate my account.

I need some help. First of all, I installed the Gears for Firefox to use the multivideo . First, the "Add ons" box keeps popping up everytime I start Firefox. Second, when I use the multivideo uploader in YT, I click on Add Videos to List and nothing happens, The box where it says Choose Video is supposed to come up but it doesn't. It just stays there and I have CtrlAlt Delete to escape this. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ever since YouTube went to their new uploader, you could upload up to ten videos at a time. There is really no need for the Gears extension anymore.

They have some new Content ID matching system that does it automatically. I don't know exactly how it works, but it's pretty good at doing it.

Probably not seeing as the video/audio has to not have the same match if its compressed differently, i.e. removing data. It must match it on some sort of other level.

It's only a matter of time. I thought the same thing, and sure enough, recently, I've had quite a few removed. It's because they can only scan so many videos at once - and it's a random process of selection.

It's been that long already? :blink: I can't wait to see what your new name will be.

BTW, does anyone know why Mike changed from MikeM2010 to simply Mike M. It's a very minor but noticeable change; isn't 2010 his graduation year?
You won't be surprised. Is the 93 part supposed to be ur DOB?

Changing subjects, anyone taking midyear exams right now? I've taken three so far. I think I got A's on two of them but maybe a C or B on the other.

Yes I took 6 midterms. The science one was hard....I don't know how well I did on that one. I forgot the 2 essays and the info to put in them in the other midterm, I think that pretty much screwed my midterm grade.

I can only wait to take the history one on Monday, that's a subject I have a weakness in and the teacher's style of teaching doesn't help at all. Spanish midterm I'll pass without a doubt, I have a 102% in that class right now as a marking period 2 grade. In fact, I already took the first part of the Spanish midterm, a listening exam, which I got a 97% in.

I can see this is going to cause confusion and frustration, but imo this new set date should have been decided on months ago, Did they honestly believe every American was going to be ready for this?

IMO, the date is just gonna kept getting pushed back further and further. People are just gonna keep procrastinating thinking "eh, I'll get it when I need it." The only way to make everyone get their converter boxes/digital TVs is to shut off analog. People will then realize they need to do something, and they'll go out and get their boxes. That will be the only way people will learn.

They should've kept the February 17th date. We've been hearing that for two years now. America has had plenty of time to prepare. Every time you turn on your TV, you hear these ads, and now we're gonna be hearing them for another five months.

Whether the date is February 17, 2009 or June 12, 2009 or December 21, 2012, there are still gonna be people out there who aren't ready. Just shut analog off already.

2-4 inches with a glaze of ice expected here through tomorrow AM. If we get a delay tomorrow, then the scheduled half day will become a full day, meaning dismissal at 2:26 instead of 11:30, and the half day will be pushed over to Thursday. I very much prefer either having a half day tomorrow or no school at all. There are no lunches being served tomorrow either, meaning I'd have to bring my own, and I have nothing I could bring.

Eh, horrible idea. Analog is a waste of space, we have to get rid of it sometime. The pros outweigh the cons when it comes to switching over.

If they would of just done it anyway, and at the same time pumped more money into the program, people would of been without FREE TV for what, a few days? If people are that worried about losing TV for a few days maybe they should get some DVDs or VHSes and watch those in the mean time.

People should be able to have the option for both. While digital may be highly encouraged, there should still be an alternative option. As I've said before, technology upgrades enforced by law is ridiculous.

If we were to keep analog and digital, it would cost the stations more money for operating both Analog and Digital towers. TV is just a simple service, it's not a lifeline nor is it a utility. Maybe if it was something like radio that is like impossible to make converters for due to different kind of cars, I'd tend to agree more with you. We need to make space for newer technologies. It's going to happen in the first place because in the upcoming years no one will be using it anyway, but why not do it now to get it over with now? Cable companies are realizing this, too, by getting rid of most of the analog also, in a digital world, analog is a waste of space and technically inferior.

The problem with DTV is how huge the digital boxes are, and how Comcast is still increasing their prices. It would be neat if they could just have some adapter that you could put on the TV's coaxial port.
...this has nothing to do with Comcast.  However, Comcast's own DTV switchover is coming with a small box that acts like an adapter.

Lemme see if I can find it...

Wow, there are SO many things wrong with that statement/question.

First off, a LOT of people are still using analog antenna TV. If they wanted/could afford cable/digital services, then they would have bought them. But they don't/can't, so they use antenna. There is absolutely nothing wrong with OTA television as it is. It has satisfied people for years. There needs to be some medium of communication, where the consumer has the ultimate choice in how it's delivered. The government has no right to step in and demand that everyone switch to digital OTA.

And contrary to what people are led to believe, digital is not always better than analog forms of media. Take MP3's for example...

Each one from what I can tell. I got over 14 emails saying a video was removed for copyright content and all had Ryan Farish tunes. I had more but I think the sheer amount of removals got my account removed before that happened.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Localonthe8s on January 30, 2009, 10:51:58 PM
I was thinking of that, because if you're video has copywritten audio then the music should be muted rather than the entire video removed. I had no idea Ryan Farish had copyright issues, he was always lenient about his content being uploaded- actually he got recognition from Youtube.

As for numerous messages, same thing on my ThunderFever account. I got at least 20 videos removed because of copyrighted audio, and I guess I got so many removals that YT deleted my old account. I'm scared though, this not turning out to be a pretty situation. :( Which Ryan Farish songs did they specifically remove? Some artists will have their videos removed depending on the record label- Birk's Law by Spyro Gyra is on a GRP label that is copyrighted but Feelin Fine is not on a label with copyright issues.

Honestly, schools have a better chance of students (and faculty) showing up with a delay than they otherwise would. It has nothing to do with if we win or not - just about everyone around here will stay up to watch the whole game.


Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Quote
Superintendent Mark Roosevelt (Pittsburgh Public Schools) is no fan of delaying or canceling school even in bad weather, but he said there was no reason to ignore the Super Bowl's effect on school operations. Asked whether he feared student and staff absences, he said he hoped the delay would help mitigate any problem.

The district also opened two hours late on the day after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL three years ago.

Anyone noticed that CN8 is now just called the "Comcast Network?"
Quote from: Wikipedia
The CN8 brand was discontinued in early 2009, as part of a larger restructuring of the network in order to respond to low ratings as well as closing down in the New England market, where its primary market was Boston.[1] The Philadelphia and Washington feeds have been split into separate networks solely branded as "The Comcast Network"[2], which will henceforth report to sister network Comcast SportsNet.[1][2]
Looks like we get the Philadelphia feed of the network, much like we get the Philadelphia feed of Comcast SportsNet...

Rap is ear bleeding music. There's nothing ear bleeding about rock. Metal is totally different, and not what I listen to.


Child please, rap is one of the best and fastest growing genres and is getting softer, while people in the rock genre is now starting to scream their heads off just to hear themselves. Rock and metal hurts my ears and they get on my bloody nerves. And just for the record, I am a rapper. :angry:


Child? I beg your pardon. I'm a grown man, and you'll talk to me like one, got it?

As for rap-wRAP it up and throw it away.  <_<

Oh, and if your a rapper, that would make you partial. Your opinion is null and void.  :thrilled:

It's going to be one of those storms that does something you don't expect it to. Because of the volcano erpution scare in Alaska it has caused aircraft planes carrying weather data to relocate out of the area which could be repsonsible for the computer models being all over the place. This storm is far from rivaling the Superstorm 93'.

That picture was done back in November, and he issued a statement of apology yesterday. He tested negative for all banned substances at the olympics, so all 8 medals are his. I say we just move on from it. I could care less.

I'm pretty sure some stations are going to do it February 17th anyway.  I know the ABC station here, has already made a statement that they will make the transition Feb 17th regardless.  Some stations already have made the switch.

I may be wrong here, but isn't the STAR ID just the configuration? Meaning even if it's a new unit, the STAR ID wouldn't change as it would be the same configuration?

No, I'm pretty sure it's based on the unit itself and not the configuration. Thus, you'll probably have a different ID# (likely starting with 28 if it's a new unit). Depending on whether a configuration on one broken STAR can transfer to a new one, you'll might have the exact same or slightly different configuration.

I wonder if my IntelliStar is "broken" too, which is why I'm getting Burlington's instead of Mount Holly. Might be some hardware failure or something.

Star ID is unique to each unit. Thus you'll have a new one.

Well, tell that rep he's stupid. The transition has nothing to do at all with anything except Over-the-air transmissions. Now, the only thing that it affects is how fast other companies get to use said airspace that will be freed.

As I've said before, several areas that have Comcast will be getting rid of the "Expanded Basic" Analog tier of service and making you use the digital one, but that is totally unrelated and will happen at times that Comcast chooses and not the government.

This is why I get so pissed off about this whole transition. Lets get it over with for crying out loud. Cable had nothing at all to do with the transition. Statements like this confuse the average viewer. Also if they did get rid of analog channels, they would have to give every analog user a digital cable box.

A HDD swap should do the trick. Im surprised that didn't solve the problem. If your ID does not change, then the HDD was simply switched.

Technically, the way they phrased it, they didn't.  Comcast (and no content provider, anyway) is not permitted to make channel changes until after February 17 June 12, as to not confuse subscribers.  Of course, the rep probably didn't know that and was probably talking out their butt....

Any time I emailed Comcast about channel issues - I got a very similar response. Even to ask them something simple - like why KDKA (CBS 2) is on channel 6, or WPXI (NBC 11) is on channel 12? And they would tell me it's because of the digital transition - which is a load of crap.

Suddenlink, for some strange reason, moved twc from channel 12 to channel 40, the station ID doesnt say so (changed to ch. 40 in 2005!!) and says that it is channel 12, and fox 26 moved to channel 9.

When we had AT&T Broadband, the channels weren't like that. It wasn't until Comcast took over that the local channel numbers were changed up. KDKA CBS 2 is on channel 6, WTAE ABC 4 is on channel 8, WPXI NBC 11 is on channel 12, WQED 13 is on channel 10, WPCW CW 19 is on 15, WPMY MY 10 is on channel 9, WPGH FOX 53 is on channel 7.

Luckily, with FiOS, all the channel numbres are right. :biggrin:

Question for House fans: I read somewhere last year that they were going to bring back the original team of doctors. Did that ever happen? I haven't seen that show in ages. They kinda ruined it when they changed all the people.

Foreman is back on House's team after being fired from his new job at NY Mercy (Season 4).  He's dating Thirteen (the new female doctor).
Cameron and Chase are recurring characters, but not on the team (Cameron is in the ER, Chase is a surgeon).
Cuddy is now an adopted mother.

A House repeat is on USA at 8 on Monday.  I'm happy because he isn't screwing with 24.  :)

so, today was the AH Chorale Department's last performance of "Into the Woods". we wanted to go out with a bang, and typically on the last day of production, its tradition to add something funny.

however we didn't, so we as a tech crew, and stage crew decided to fog up the whole stage during the last song, we did so. we used the fog for all of our performances, so fire alarms weren't an issue, at the time at least. so we went through with our plan and with about 5-10 minutes left into the show, the fire alarms go off, with an obnoxious voice over the alarms:

"ATTENTION, THERE HAS BEEN A REPORTED EMERGENCY, PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE ANY ELEVATORS."

the show ended and we were waiting for the AHFD to arrive so we can tell them it was a false alarm, they arrived, and we told them what happened. they turned off the alarms, walked into the auditorium pissed, and gave us a warning.

the best finale, ever.  :clap:  :P our audience loved the action by the way.

"Va. House Approves Ban on Smoking"

I think this is just wrong. It should be up to the restaurants and bar owners whether or not people can smoke in their establishment. NOT the government.

"We're supposed to be the party of more freedom, not less freedom," said Del. Jeffrey M. Frederick (R-Prince William). "As much as I personally would love a smoking ban, it's not my job to tell small-business owners what they can and cannot allow in their small businesses."
Sad day for our state :no:

Personally, I love it that we here in Pennsylvania have a public smoking ban. I hated going into restaurants and having it smell like smoke. Sure, they had smoking and non-smoking sections, but that didn't really make a difference because the whole place smelled like smoke anyway. I mean, if you wanna smoke, step outside for a few minutes and do it.

I hate it too but I think its the right of the owner to establish those rules in a private establishment. In public areas or government areas smoking bans are fine with me.

I agree with Martin, in a way.  I had to do a debate in Government class last semester being AGAINST the ban (even though I am for it..it just seemed easier to be against).  Anyways.. I do think it should be the restaurant/bar owners choice to allow smoking.  But, if that were the case, why have the law?  If bar owners/restaurant owners wanted to ban smoking, they would have done it a long time ago.

But, I do love not having to go into a restaurant, and have them ask "smoking or non?"  Even if you are in a non smoking part of a restaurant, you are still able to smell the smoke.

If people want to kill themselves, I'm fine with that. But I'm not ok with endangering others' health because your too lazy to step outside.

Slow here today, no?
Agreed.
I live with my dad and step mom and they smoke like a choo choo train. They literally chain smoke around me and don't give a damn about and it ticks me off so much. I could get a smoker's tumer or lung cancer because of them smoking so much.  <_< Soon, I hope they make it completely illegal like pot.

Personally, I love it that we here in Pennsylvania have a public smoking ban. I hated going into restaurants and having it smell like smoke. Sure, they had smoking and non-smoking sections, but that didn't really make a difference because the whole place smelled like smoke anyway. I mean, if you wanna smoke, step outside for a few minutes and do it.

Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool.

Exactly.

Here in Michigan the proposal for a statewide smoking ban has once again stalled.  <_<

In regards to smoking, I am all for public smoking bans. Cigarette smoke gives me a terrible sore throat. Having non-smoking sections is just not good enough. The ventilation system spreads the smoke around the whole building. Fortunately, no one in my immediate family smokes (and I won't date a girl that does if I can help it), so I needn't worry when I'm not in public.

my guess is local forecasts for the music. TWC videos have not been popular enough for NBC to care enough to have then removed IMO

Yeah, if NBC didn't care for their Weather Plus videos being uploaded I doubt they'd mind having TWC videos up either.

Most likely the music. Uploading TWC footage probably won't get you in trouble, unless you're uploading full episodes from shows like ICHT or FFN.

It's not the kids' fault. It's the parents and the teachers and society as a whole.

Bush: What is he good for?
absolutely nothing!

The main problem is the parents and the school systems. It has now become more of a business for schools. If they get kids to get XX grades then the school will get more funding.  This requires that the teachers basically teach the state test that measure this all year.  Teachers try to teach what we need to know and not just wants on the test but its increasingly difficult.

 I have seen this all unfold through the years. I was declared gifted in several academic areas in elementary school. However in the years they changed how this was classified and destroyed the program that helped smarter kids get ahead. Take for example my 9th grade year at high school. My school was given a HUGE grant to try and improve the gap between smart and dumb kids.  Unfortunately this is an urban area and race fell along that gap as well. Here is what the school decided to do. Smart kids knew to get a good education away from disruptive students and ones who didn't give a crap about school they had to get in honor classes. School performance reports looked at race and increased pressure to change the gap. So for two classes EVERYBODY was honors. It is failing in so many ways. Thank god its only limited to the 9th grade. This was a clever way to get this extra money (that went nowhere near this project) and to allow the dumb kids to say they took honor classes. Its horrible what these school systems are doing and so many of the smart kids are leaving for private schools. I have discussed with my mom and we are going to look at ones over the summer just to see whats out there.

In the end to help solve this issue, take the incentive for schools to get more funding my improving grades. It corrupts the school system and creates a false image while hurting schools that need the funding at the same time. As for parents, they expect the school system to do their job and complain its the schools fault when kids get fat or exhibit poor choices in life.

So...I took a gander at the TWCC forums today, and it appears that Matt chose to remove the TWC HD board he introduced after I introduced mine. There's something to be learned from this for the aspiring (and some who already are) forum admins amongst us-if your going to copy another forums idea, make sure there's enough of a demand. Think with your brain, not your emotions. If Matt had used his he would have realized that putting up his own TWC HD board was not a particularly bright idea. This is what happens when you do things out of spite.

Oh how the mighty hath fallen.  :clap:

Wow, the laughs just don't stop over there. First, some guys wants to know why TWC laid off its employees privately and didn't make it publicly known. I don't know, maybe because its a private matter?  :rolleyes:

And then I noticed something else. The other day I had a problem with a particular TWCC member who registered here, and proceeded to take topics from here and post them on TWCC, en masse. But I'm relieved this evening after seeing that NO ONE from this forum replied in any of his threads.

And it keeps getting better! TWCC keeps on bolstering its roster of idiots (sometimes it seems like all our rejects end up there!). That racist lamarr registered there today )and has already attracted the ire of an admin). Good riddance! Now let me laugh my ass off while they deal with him.  :rofl:
My god they are in for a treat :rolleyes:

Oh are they ever!  :rolleyes:

BTW, I feel I should clear something up, before anyone gets any ideas. This has NOTHING to do with Tyler, nor am I mad at him. He and I are cool. Its only about Matt, since he's the one that calls the majority of the shots, and since he's the one that played dirty with me.

To sum it up in three words-bad decision making. Matt no longer seems to put much thought into anything he does. Anyone recently try to navigate the site? Yeah, you can't. There IS NO navigation! That's a prime example of a very bad decision on Matt's part. And he's made a number of bad decisions on the forum as well.

Yeah, I understand what he was trying to accomplish, but he went overboard. Especially if his ads perform like mine do. There's no sense in cluttering your site with ads if they aren't doing you any good. That's why I limited the number of ads I have. I knew long before I put the ads up that they probably weren't going to bring in a whole lot of money.

And did I read here the other day that Matt FINALLY banned that bozo Roland? Good gosh, what did that take? Did he set a nuclear bomb off on the forum? Or did Matt realize how stupid he was to not ban someone who had committed the offense's Roland did, regardless of where he committed them? In other words, he realized he was an ass to continue endangering his members out of spite toward me?  :rolleyes:

1. If you take care to not break the lamp, mercury won't be an issue. Even if you do break it (I have once), CFL's don't contain much mercury, so it's not a HUGE issue, you just got to make sure the room is well ventilated and all the broken pieces are picked up and disposed of.

2. What I do is just stick burned out CFLs in a plastic bag (a sandwich bag should do fine) and then throw them away like that. Learned that from a Forecast Earth report.

3. What exactly do you mean?
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Gil on February 18, 2009, 05:30:35 PM
Sorry, I refuse to use poison in my home. A LITTLE Mercury is more than the amount that should be, which is NONE.

Do you have any idea how unrealistic that sounds? Light bulbs will break, you can try to avoid it, but it will happen at some point or another, and as stated, even a little mercury is hazardous, especially to humans and animals. And, whether you put it in a bag or not, it's still equally bad for the environment. You're contaminating landfills, which in turn, can contaminate ground water. On a large scale, that's poisoning half the population.

As for #3,
-They give horrible light
-They take long to reach maximum output.

I can go on for hours, but that would be boring.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

Actually, most CFLs today give off light that is very comparable to incandescents. That's why when I switched in 2007, I had no problems with them because it was basically the same amount of light, with less wattage use. As far as light output, today's CFLs are nearly the same brightness at startup. There's a slight difference, but it's not that big of a deal IMO.

No, because they're mounted on the ceiling, and they virtually never break in a school setting. Not to mention they have the resources for cleanup.

Bottom line, i wouldn't replace the lightbulbs I'm using now, that give me no problems, for a totally inferior product.

We had tremendous lightning and thunder with the Severe Thunderstorm Warning an hour ago. Our abc local station WSB-TV showed a lightning bolt hitting the Bank of America HQ building downtown. The screen went completely white for 2 seconds!  :thrilled: These have been impressive springtime supercell storms.

Glad to hear you're still okay!   You should be clear of everything in another hour.  The Southeast is particularly dangerous during the late winter to early spring months with severe weather.  Thank goodness that tornado warning was canceled before moving over your area, but you certainly caught a great lightning show. :happy:

I hate being out in rain, but I love watching it. I'm kind of paranoid when it comes to storms, too.  :noexpression: I'm a wimp.

EDIT: It's fun watching severe weather on radar. If and when it's in range of the TDWR (HD) radar stations, I'm there. It'll be fun for my first time watching a tornado in high def radar.

Also, on the Lone Grove tornado, I was watching it on a teacher's computer at school. I was thinking, " :faint: That has to be dropping a big funnel." The hook was amazingly clear for its distance from the radar. Normally by that distance the hook "fuzzes out" as I like to call it.

Does anyone know who Konnichiwa321 is on Youtube? He's sending me messages saying he was formerly employed at TWC as a graphic designer. However, me, being the smart person I am (  :huh: ) pretty much told him I didn't believe him, and now he says his TWC-obsessed friend had his password. :rolleyes:

Comcast says it's now taking steps to expand its high-def lineup, such as shifting analog channels to digital which creates more bandwidth for HD.

Most gym teachers don't, so consider yourself fortunate.

In my opinion, schools should require MORE phys ed. With the rate of obesity in our country, its sorely needed.

I personally loved PE. Especially high school PE. I surprised the teacher quite often with my athleticism. My classmates too.  :D

I can't wait for the new Pieces of A Dream album "Soul Intent" on Feb 24th. There are a few songs that caught my attention! They haven't released an album since Feb 2006. But for some reason, the songs just don't have the "pizzazz" as they used to 5-10 years ago.

I am only required to participate in PE in middle school and 9th grade. To graduate, I must take two semesters of "Individual PE", whether it is lifting weights, aquatics, golf, or tennis.

Me too. In 10th grade, I'm outta there.

OMG I am so glad I get to rest over the weekend. :D

I don't mind P.E. anymore as much as I used to. Sucks that we have to wear PE uniforms though. :hmm:

This is ridiculous. You should see how expensive our sewage bill is! :wacko:

We are paying out of our asses for what one person did 20 years ago! He was caught dumping illegally in a creek in Penn Hills Park and the EPA fined the municipality $60 million dollars under the Clean Water Act. The consent decree is the result of a joint federal-state EPA lawsuit from the late 1990s regarding a violation of a permit issued to the municipality's wastewater treatment plant.

 :cry: I feel bad.

Yesterday, a friend asked someone to ask me if I would want to go to (late) Valentine's Day dance.

I declined, and I said "maybe next time." I meant it.

So awkwardness ensued between us, and I snapped at my friends all day.

Just after the final bell rang, someone asked her if she was going to the dance.

"I couldn't find anybody that would say yes."

 :cry: What should I do?!

What should you do about what? What part of this is troubling you? Telling her no? Hearing that she had no other date? Do you like this girl?

I think you have to tell her whatever your feeling. If you feel bad about telling her no, tell her so. If you feel bad that she had no other date, tell her you didn't know and how bad you feel about it. Is there another dance this school year? If so, make it a point to ask HER to the dance. That is, if you want to go. If you just don;t like dances, tell her so. Tell her whatever's in your heart. She'll like that.

Awwww, poor little guy...
Did you really mean it? I mean, I dealt with this case before. You are making yourself and this person feel bad, and worst of all, you might have missed your chance of going to the dance with this person. My suggestion is to go back and talk to her and explain to her why. And maybe if you are lucky, ask her again. :yes:

Ok, so I spent the night last night in Fresno because my dad had a lifting competition. At the hotel, I was extremely disappointed to find that TWC was one of many channels that weren't working. And I even brought along my tuner in anticipation for seeing another STAR. But anyway, the next day, TWC was playing at the place we were eating at, and I saw an IS, which I had expected. But nothing would prepare me for what I was about to see at the gym. As we were getting ready, some guys flipped on TWC on a large HD TV in the waiting area, and it was right in the middle of an XL LOCAL FORECAST!!!!!!!!!!! :O I was able to watch for about 5 minutes before they flipped to basketball or whatever. Unfortunately though, I got no ID # (again) and no pictures. :( :pinch:

I got a new TV tuner the other day, Hauppage HVR-1250. I'm using ClearQAM to record anything from TWC or WxScan. It's the best quality you can get since you're getting the actual transport-stream from the headend.

Also, the only thing about Comcast I hate is their prices. They have fast internet, and a good selection of HD and SD channels.

What program? I have a good one of day planner, but for now I'm redoing my sig. The one you see now is a mini-userbar placeholder. It'll be gone soon.

I'll have it by tomorrow evening!  :thumbsup:

I don't want Comcast anymore.
Why not? and don't say because it doesn't have TWC HD because that's not a good enough reason.
It's too much money. Come on, $56 for like 90 channels? :rolleyes: Must be bad luck in my area though. I still like Comcast though...in Jackson Heights, NY u can get a basic package for $30 including TWC.

Okay, so my debit card came (given to me from my college) and I have enough money to buy a laptop and a wireless router. So, instead of going back and forth (because my computer is in the garage and my room is like right next to the garage) I can be twittering and watching TWC at the same time! It's worth the exercize, but it feels a little irritated going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth during the commercial break. To tell you the truth...I'm lazy :P

Especially in the summer (it gets so hot here, like 110 plus) I won't be able to use this comp in the garage. So I made a very good decision on planning to buy a laptop. :)

Do you have another speakers you can test it on? The same thing happened to my old speakers, but my new speakers get the audio from both left and right.

It's either your sound card or the drivers for it. If its an actual sound card, and not built into the motherboard, then replacing it is a snap. Built-in audio cannot be replaced. You would need to disable it in BIOS and install a sound card. But first, the drivers. Do you have the latest drivers for your sound card installed?

Me too, I'm buying another videocassette so I can save the final episode of A&B whoops, Beyond The Forecast.
I have noticed that tomorrow is the last time we'll see the following:

1. Beyond The Forecast
2. Heather Tesch on YWT
3. Jim Cantore in the evening (Evening Edition)
4. Evening Edition IN GENERAL
5. Paul and Alexandra working in the evening (idk about #5 I am not sure at all)

I just did. Seems our NBC Plus is very glitchy. Last month the temperature color codes didn't match with the numbers on the map, and ever since our NBC Plus launched late December there's been a bug where the low temp is always 44 on the last day of the 5-day forecast. I contacted them about these two issues, but only the first one was fixed.

Well, when I lived in northern Baja Mexico for a short time last year, I remember some  stupid freak-o jerk-o  rode on his super duper cool motorcycle back and forth all afternoon and yes it's annoying. My grandmother reported this dude to the police for disturbing peace of the neighborhood and he got cited for that. I heard he had to pay like $100. (that's in dollars, though).

Those commercials do show on Dish and DirecTV-on your local channels. However, I more commonly see commercials that call attention to FiOS customers. It seems that FiOS is Comcast's bigger worry these days.

Speaking of FiOS, anyone see those commercials with the FioS guy and the cable guy? Funny as hell.  :rofl2:

Those commercials are probably coming from the TV station directly, for example, we broadcast on Rogers Cable, and Starchoice Satellite, but we air Rogers commercial, so people who watch us on Starchoice will see the Rogers commercials.

TWCT just set a new record for most members joined in a month thanks to February 2009.  Go check it out.
Wow. It really is. Even if it has only 28 days  :clap: :clap: :clap: Congratulations, TWC Today! :lol:

Yeah that's pretty good for a short month! We're currently 2 above the record, and could still get more members today. Wonder what caused the sudden surge in membership? Whatever it is, I hope it keeps up!  :biggrin:

Ok, so I spent the night last night in Fresno because my dad had a lifting competition. At the hotel, I was extremely disappointed to find that TWC was one of many channels that weren't working. And I even brought along my tuner in anticipation for seeing another STAR. But anyway, the next day, TWC was playing at the place we were eating at, and I saw an IS, which I had expected. But nothing would prepare me for what I was about to see at the gym. As we were getting ready, some guys flipped on TWC on a large HD TV in the waiting area, and it was right in the middle of an XL LOCAL FORECAST!!!!!!!!!!! :O I was able to watch for about 5 minutes before they flipped to basketball or whatever. Unfortunately though, I got no ID # (again) and no pictures. :( :pinch:

Ouch. That would've been tough to tell the guys that you wanted to watch the Weather Channel. I have a similar story. Recently, me and my family went up to Flint, Michigan for Thanksgiving at my aunt and uncle's house, whom we never see, and the cable was out at our hotel the whole stay until that morning that we were packing up. it came on and I turned on The Weather Channel, and it was an XL!!! I could tell by the LDL and the icons at the bottom! But, I didn't have enough time that morning to view a Local Forecast.  :no:

Soooo...how is it that there's little to nothing going on at TWCC, yet Lightning continues to find ways to plaster the entire forum with posts? At some point you've got to draw the line and realize you can only talk to yourself so much before there's nothing more to say. And other member's have to draw the line too. I mean, in many cases he's bumping months old topics for no real reason at all.

I'm glad he doesn't come around these parts too much. I'm not sure how much of that guy I could take.  :D :P

This storm is amazing! It's rapidly filling in the dry slot over Atlanta! The transition won't be too long from now. The snow isn't moving fast very much at all, it even looked stationary at times.

So, I was watching the news last night and they said a possible snowstorm is coming, but I wasn't expecting much. Then I saw that apparently we're getting a foot of snow out of this, and blizzard-like conditions! Looks like we're slated to have the worst snowstorm since 2003, and definitely the worst March snow event since 1993!  :blink:

I was totally going to make an emulation for your area so I can do the blizzard icon, but they must've updated it. :( Plus, I'd rather wait for some interesting CC conditions (right now it's just cloudy), and I need to have at least 3 hours of radar data.

I think I saw it earlier. I can't remember if it was for your area or not. It may have been for Alex's. But now, neither place shows it. :(
It will probably show up on your intellistar as that neat icon with the snow being blown to the side.

If KFC ran out of chicken, why would they still be open? I'm sure 99.9% of people who go to KFC go there for chicken.

First off with the economy.  It is getting really bad.  So bad, to where I cannot go to my dream college :(  I have to go to community college, and then transfer out.   I am not too sadened, because at least I am going to college.  My parents keep getting hours cut at work, which worries them, and myself.  My aunt just lost her job.

Second- about pictures on TV, ect.  I think that these news outlets are trying to become more interactive with technology.  A local news station is doing the same thing TWC is doing, the twitter thing.  It's interesting.

I'm not sure why your tying college to the economy, because there's really no connection. Things like tuition and textbooks are through the roof regardless of what shape the economy is in.

I shall share my story as well. I do go to community college. There might be a chance that my college won't have a Summer Intersession due to the low money the college has. I'm still waiting for my college money to be disbursed (I guess I have to wait until march 20th!!! grr!) The books are expensive, and now, my mom is thinking twice about my future!! Oh man...I am sadly hurt by the economy. Now I don't know what to do. I want to transfer out of my school and go to CSU San Bernardino, but I guess I'm seeing different roadways.  :noexpression:

actually, i think what you said isn't true at all, but i'll respect your opinion to state it.

the current status of our economy only adds to the souring prices of everything. there's so much more beyond tuition and textbooks that the ordinary college student needs. the economy is tied to everything, and if everything fails...haha guess what? the economy collapses, and we're doomed.

of course that's politically incorrect, but whatever  :P

No, No.  I wan't saying the economy is why college is so expensive. Because of the troubled economic times, MY family has been hit by it, as in, not enough money to send me to college. A year ago looked really good for me to go to an in-state school.  Now, that has changed, drastically. Must have not made that part clear.  Sorry about that.  I know college is very expensive, and the economy has nothing to do with the costs.

Think of it this way, the economy should (hopefully) recover at some point, and at that point, lots of places (hopefully) will have lots of jobs to fill.  If you can figure out a way to go to college (student loans?) in 4 years time it may really pay off.

I'm scared about myself or my wife losing our jobs and we have twins on the way.

BTW, we found out we're having a boy and a girl.

Post by: lfmusiclover on March 03, 2009, 11:29:43 AM
Wow, that's really great rughster! Congratulations!

Al, textbooks and tuition are the bulk of what college students need. And those things are not influenced by the economy. Tuition is decided by the government (in cases of the big state universities), or in cases of smaller colleges by the people who run the college. Textbook prices have always been highway robbery, regardless of whether the economy has been good or bad. 

Then there's housing. If its on campus housing, the college decides how much to charge, another decision independent of the economy.

Trust me Al, I've been around the block a time or two.  B)

Not really Mike. It only happens in forums where the spammers know they can attack. They pick their targets. Very seldom are they random. And the problem is not necessarily the spammers, but the fact that their spam is left to decay the forum, because Bill and the team don't give a shit. Honestly, I expect to see the same start happening at TWCC.

Gosh, that's terrible! That's why I don't bring my iPod at school anymore, too risky. Did anyone find out about the TWC songs you had in it?

There's a super funny story that goes along with that performance, I'll save that for a rainy day.

I'd like to refer you to a south park episode where the kids think they can operate their bowls backwards and crap out their mouth. If it's labeled OUT then its an output.. If the camera says its got a I/O converter then it will do such, but not in this case.

And the problem is not necessarily the spammers, but the fact that their spam is left to decay the forum, because Bill and the team don't give a shit. Honestly, I expect to see the same start happening at TWCC.

Why, because I started watching it? :P

I don't like WPVI much anymore. It's so overrated. EVERYONE in the Philadelphia area watches it. I don't know what viewers find special about it. First off, the graphics are getting old. The lower thirds have used the same colors (white, red, and yellow) since 1997! They also use AccuWeather, and we all know how much we love AccuWeather (not). Also, when will they ever change their news theme that makes me think I am in the 1980's?  :blink: So, last December, I started watching FOX 29 news. I like how they have their own Philadelphia morning show from 5-9 AM. I'm not interested what's going on in New York, I want to know what's happening here.

I know no one else in person who watched FOX 29. It's definitely among the least popular stations (but more popular than MyPHL or CW).

Also Rico, if you're a proud wife, then why did you set your gender as male, if you don't me asking.  :unsure:

Office 2007 is the worst. My college uses it and a lot of the students (including me) hardly use it because it's so frustrating, especially the tabs, I can't find the part where I can double space my paper!

Even Apple is phasing out FireWire. My iPod nano™ 4G is USB-only, as are many new iPods. It seems they're at least phasing it out on the iPod line. With new Macs, I don't know about having FireWire. I've only seen one new Mac, and it's difficult to see the cords where it is located. :)

FireWire is definitely focused on the Mac, there's no debating that. From what Ive read, FireWire support on Windows leaves much to be desired.

FireWire won't be leaving Apple for a long time. It's like how they were with SCSI...

some news stations never cease to amaze me...

back in February KSAT 12 claimed to be in HD, but became obvious to everyone that they were broadcasting in 16x9 SD, however they still claimed to be in HD.

KSAT gave no warning of their so called "HD" transition and thought it would be a great idea to just flip the switch on any random day. They're graphics didn't change much, and parts that were changed looked horrific. they didn't get a studio upgrade, something they've had for over 7 years...it's not even a studio! its a freakin' desk with an oversized chroma key wall behind it.

mind you, ever since they're little "transition" a lot of viewers have been complaining about KSAT's newscast being fuzzy on both SD and HD channels, ultimately leading viewers their huge competitor KENS 5 whom went HD many moons before KSAT. KSAT used to be San Antonio's number 1 newscast, claming the 5, 6, and 10 o'clock newscast. rumor has it, that they're ratings will not be as impressive as they use to be.

did mention i hate ksat?  :bleh: competitor to both KSAT and KENS -- WOAI has plans to launch HD sometime this year -- the station turns 60 on Dec 11, and that is my forecast date of their full and complete HD transition. i honestly think i might be impressive if they're gonna do what I think they're gonna do.  :D

if WOAI does go HD this would be San Antonio's 2nd (or 3rd if you count the station "claiming" to be in HD) newscast to broadcast live in HD. KABB (FOX 29), not a competitor, does not have any plans to broadcast in HD in the near future, which is good cause their newscasts suck. lol

blahhh! that was my rant for today. lol

We're getting cable cut off, and possibly changing to satellite. Maybe Dish or DirecTV. As long as they don't mess with my DTV Tuner, I am alright on whatever they do.

My fox afilliate recently changed their logo, but not to the O&O logo.  They use a simple logo.  Graphics are in-house, except for the "coming up next" graphics.  And their regular gfx are in-house, and they suck!

But you got all the bells and whistles. We only get: Cable in 4 rooms, no HBO, No Cinemax, No Digital Cable, No HD, 78 Channels, 1 Spanish channel, 3 ESPN channels, VH1 Classics, 2 C-SPAN channels, and 5, if not more, Religious channels. No one in our family watches News 14 Carolina. The only one who watches The Weather Channel throughout the day is me, Noggin, and Food Network. My mum loves the Food Network, I don't. If the Weather Channel was on the DTV lineup, I would not need cable. $275 for just rubbish.  :thumbdown:

the HD-DVR boxes alone are almost $20 a month each... Maybe you should drop your package down if you really don't need all of those premium channels.... the package for just one premium package should be ~$90 a month. the HD tier in my area is about $6 a box, which for me, if I had 4 HD-DVR boxes, would be an extra $24 a month... I'm telling you, all of this adds up...

I actually said screw that and got the TiVo :happy: with the 2 CableCARDs, it's $1.50/month for both of them, but you get a credit of $3.65 for each card you have for not using their equipment, so it's a $7.30 credit to your account. Now, the tivo is $12.95 a month, so subtract that credit, it'll cost you approx $5.65 to use a TiVo instead of their HD DVR. Think of the savings! :yes:

I probably could have explained this better, but I'm side tracked at the moment.

I'm really into their fonts. Well it used to be in Akidenz Grotesk. Before the orange "Q" route was terminated in summer 2001, the route logo was in Akidenz Grotesk. Now the current yellow "Q" is in Helvetica. The only difference is that the Q in the yellow route has the top part of the right slant cut off. (Kinda hard to explain)

Yeah, I agree, this is good news, but it may not mean much for the economy overall.  I saw on cnn money this morning that analysts are expecting another big selloff, they just don't know when.  You really can't judge the status of the huge recession by what happens over 4 days.

Soon enough, they will cut fine and visual arts, and unneccesary gym classes from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The superintendent denotes that he will drop 50 teachers/Assistants in undetermined courses, most likely music, gym and art, also Self Contained classes. When Eric Smith (if he is still in Anne Arundel County, please PM me) was superintendent, he would not have let that happen. The Special Needs class is supposed to have an assistant and a liason per every 15 kids. Just a fortnight ago, he said that he was going to dismiss some security guards, and every school is limited to 2 security guards. Guess at what happened on Wednesday??? A 17 year old Sophomore was sent to gaol because he brought a loaded handgun to school.

Thanks to the economic recession.

Could someone help me out...

I have pops up coming up every 2-3 minutes ,even when I turned on the "Disable PopUps" setting in Trend Micro and IE. It's still coming up. And when I started my computer, I got a warning message saying "Your computer has various signs of viruses and malware!!! Your system needs to scan for virusses immediately!!"
Then a program called AntiSpyware 2009 came up.

I just closed out of the program since I know based on the spelling and grammar that it's malware itself. Has anyone ever gotten this before? I'm doing a Trend Micro scan right now and it found no threats on my system but the popups still appear. AntiSpyware and Trend Micro are not related with each other AFAIk.

And when I started my computer, I got a warning message saying "Your computer has various signs of viruses and malware!!! Your system needs to scan for virusses immediately!!"
Then a program called AntiSpyware 2009 came up.

I just closed out of the program since I know based on the spelling and grammar that it's malware itself. Has anyone ever gotten this before? I'm doing a Trend Micro scan right now and it found no threats on my system but the popups still appear. AntiSpyware and Trend Micro are not related with each other AFAIk.
Your computer is about to conk out. That "AntiSpyware 2009" if it was installed, try at all costs to delete it. If it doesn't delete, back up all your data and reinstall Windows. That has happened to me as well, so I knew exactly what to do. I hate viruses. :thumbdown:
Lamarr is absolutely correct. Your computer is virus infested. I would recommend backing up the important data, and reinstalling windows. I would go with Ad block for Firefox in the future. Sorry, Victor :(

I'm going along with the maybe. Even if you do a system restore, the virus will technically still be on your computer, because you're able to undo a system restore you just performed. You may be SOL if your antivirus program isn't able to remove it.

Well what if it came from a website. Like my dad goes to his video website that has a lot of viruses and pop-ups and that site might be the cuase. So system restore would put the cpu back to the state that it was before my dad visited the site but the virus would still be there?

Listen to this person. Try spybot, and also try Adaware. You do not have viruses. You have spyware and/or adware. Those two programs will clean you right up. And as to why you keep geting these problems, its your fault. Your going to a website that keeps infecting you.

As far as viruses go, I've NEVER been able to remove a virus with software. Norton, useless. AVG, useless. Adware/Malware blockers and removers, useless.

The only way I've ever been able to get rid of a virus/adware/malware, was by hard reformat.

Phony antivirus...do NOT use it at all or allow it to install anything. Most of the time there'll be a program (in add or remove programs) with a name of the likes of "ShoppingAds Helper". Go ahead and remove it, and you'll see zero ads, or at least a reduction after that. Happened to me too.

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, so it should only be used to refer to the chip, not the computer itself.

I've had no success with software either EXCEPT the aformentioned Adaware and Spybot. Those two I've used with fantastic results since they came out.

Oh my goodness! :o My English teacher told us about a situation exactly like this that happened to him. The pop-ups are basically to get you to waste your money on the software. Unfortunately, me teacher bought the software and then tried to cancel his credit card but couldn't, so he still had to pay an outrageous amount of money at the end of each month.

:stop: DO NOT buy the software, Victor! I know you probably have gotten the message by now, but the results of this are not good. :no: I can't believe companies are doing this to people. <_<

Alright, it's happening again. I don't know if Trend Micro is even any good since I just used it a couple weeks ago. I had Norton before, it slowed down my PC but it wasn't a big problem since it did a great job removing viruses and spyware but after I upgraded to NIS 2009 it was a nightmare- it took 5 minutes just for Firefox to open because of it and I can't downgrade back to NIS 2007.

1) How would I reinstall XP? I don't have an XP install CD.
2) I have a bunch of CD's for backups but I don't think it's a very wise idea to use CD's to back up 400-500 TWC songs and videos. Are there any good inexpensive HDs I could use?

Did you hear about the quadruple murders that happened in Conover, NC? A mum and 3 of her kids were murdered in a house, leaving her husband in ruins. It made national headlines on America's Most Wanted last night.

My prayers go out to the entire family that was impacted. :(

He was in Statesville on business, they ruled him out from suspect. They claim, that the person may be Asian or Latino, aged 30-40 driving a Toyota Camry or Corolla, with unknown licence plates P-241. They say the person is armed and dangerous, and if you see them, dial 911 or whatever emergency number you have. My aunt lives in Conover, and she say that is extremely unusual for that area. Do note, Conover is a part of the Charlotte Metro Area.

If I find him, I am going to wring his neck OFF all the way up the road, and collect my money. :club:
Crimestoppers is giving a reward of $10,000 for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person.

I couldn't get it in Bensalem for over a year until I got digital cable last fall. It used to be on basic 99, then 68, now its digital 179. Here I think it used to be on analog 37 before it moved to digital 37 and 179.

37 is just a mirror of 179... On a cable box, I can hit 37 then 179 without it having to re-tune.

He is saying that I am mad that I don't have Game Show Network. But, that will all change when I get Dish Network, I will conscript mum and my landlady. Do you know if you're going to have a BlogTV or YouTube show?

Also, I launched my BlogTV account yesterday and my first telecast was a grand failure.
http://blogtv.com/people/lamarr912 (http://blogtv.com/people/lamarr912)
My telecasts are daily at 10:00pm Eastern Daylight. I will also be talking about the weather, as well as the news and technology issues. Also, I will try and make an omnibus episode Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:00am, and Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays 8:00am.

But, I am happy for you Mr Maloney! :)

I am at school, trying to make up the action I missed. Hopefully the problem will be solved today. I missed everyone!!!  :cry3:

Yesterday was the third consecutive day where we saw an increase in stocks, and my news stations are saying that the economy may now be improving greatly in the near future. :rolleyes: Just because the stocks are going up for several days doesn't necessarily mean this recession is over...
I keep on hearing about that all weekend and I don't believe that at all. I predict the recession will be over by the end of the year. Yes the economy is improving, in my opinion, but there's just a long way to find the end of the tunnel.

WARNING: Even though Toshiba has good laptops, if you are planning on using the CD drive, it will not work on its own. You will have to eject it before signing on, and close it back after signing on. The Webcamera, it works alright, but the microphone is clicky. Also, if you are going to use the modem, child boo, you are out of luck. Constant cut-offs. Battery life is alright, but could be better. But, I love it, cos it is pristine, and I got it for the best price ever!

Also, child boo is like saying "you wish".

I wonder if Derek will remember a dream from 2007... good luck! :D :lol:

Ana, I'm now wearing a green shirt as I would receive a really good teasing from everyone here who knows my first name if I didn't wear my proper color today. :rolleyes:
The best green short-sleeved shirt I have is a blue and green one. I have a long sleeve green shirt but I don't like wearing long sleeved shirts to school because it's so hot in the classrooms!

Hey guys, just wanted to stop by and say hey. I know I haven't been here much lately, but that's just because I've got alot going on right now in my life. But I'm alright though, so don't worry! I'll try to stop in as much as I can. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon and I can resume my normal routine.  :biggrin: B)

That's good, Patrick! Good to hear that you're wearing green.  :yes:
Anyone else? I"m still on the prowl! :fear:
So far I have pinched 9 people (my record is 17, set back in 2005, freshman year). I am wearing my favorite green shirt, a green ribbon for a bracelet, a green headband, and green eyeshadow. Green is awesome! Today is my archenemy's birthday and she is not wearing green today! When I see her after math class, I will so hunt her down. :devil: (sorry I sound evil, but it's one of my favorite holidays. :lol:)
BTW, i'm also showing spirit because my text is green as well.

ROFL I had a similar idea last week...I was thinking of incorparating Japanese characters in place of American letters on the LF. I would cut out the regular satellite radars. I really want to add Japanese characters in place of English characters onto a clip but I don't know of any programs that would let me do that.

Haha, nice. You have to have this thing called the IME, it's built into Windows but, you have to actually install it first and usually you have to have the XP disc to do it. If you search on google for "Installing IME", you should find some good instructions. And just because you reminded me of that, I decided to do it :P

15 people got arrested in my college, cos, they pinched random people. They were close to pinching me, but I had unzipped my coat and shown my green, and I actually dialled 311 on the people.  It makes perfect sense. If you pinch someone, that is simple assault. I have been through this before. May be stupid, but it is against the law. Please watch your language. But, I really don't care. If I'm already getting cussed out by elementary school kids, something is going on. What ever happened to corporal punishment?

On average, seasons start on the 21st, but they can vary from the 20th to the 23rd due to the fact that our calendar is not perfect with our annual orbit around the Sun and that we add a leap day every four years.  I found a link from the US Naval Observatory that shows what the seasons are like for 2000-2020:  http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons.php (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons.php)

I am not bragging, I am just getting the record straight.
The reason why, was when I was banned, someone said the following:

"Is this guy retarded or just plain dumb?"
"The world needs to abolish people like that."

I didn't come to the cookout wearing snowboots, you feel me? :furious:


On another case: I just found out that the people involved the quadruple murders were killed in Utah in a High Speed Chase from Gun Shot Wounds. They could have found them, they took I-40 all the way down to Utah.

Alejandro, just because you have DTV doesn't mean everyone else does. Too many coupons are needed on the waiting list and they're out. Many people can't afford a digital converter box in this economy.

I just did. Seems our NBC Plus is very glitchy. Last month the temperature color codes didn't match with the numbers on the map, and ever since our NBC Plus launched late December there's been a bug where the low temp is always 44 on the last day of the 5-day forecast. I contacted them about these two issues, but only the first one was fixed.
It's been several weeks since I contacted them about the channel being stuck on the satellite image, and the problem still hasn't been fixed yet.  :thinking:

Awww, I'm still thinking of staying up for the grand opening. I think I will, since Spring will start at 4:44 AM pacific time (1:44 AM Eastern). What exactly the time will it be opened? Just asking... :noexpression:

More info on the recent Tonga Earthquake ([url]http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2009Mar19/0,4670,ASTongaEarthquake,00.html[/url]). A Tsunami warning has been issued but has recently expired.

Discovery Health will become The Oprah Winfrey Network last I checked...

Quote
In late 2009 Discovery Communications will cease the broadcasting of the Discovery Health Channel and replace it with OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.[1] According to Discovery, DHC was selected to be dropped due to its low viewer ratings.[2]

Oprah Winfrey will be the chairwoman of the channel and head of editorial control.



Nextly, The Pot Belly Stove is preparing to be shutdown for the season.... Last calls in the kitchen! :biggrin:

Oh yah, truTV has been cutting back on their court-related programming and adding these weird crappy reality shows like Operation Repo and World's Dumbest. I just hope they don't get rid of their daytime trial coverage and the good primetime shows like Forensic Files, Hot Pursuit, and the Investigators among others.
I love Operation Repo, World's Dumbest, and Speeders.

Also, you all are not alone. I almost had a coronary due to all the stress.

What's with fashion at school these days? I see lots of people in high school who dye their hair these weird colors like bright orange, pink, blue, and purple.  :blink: I don't know who they are trying to look like or if they're trying to attract a certain someone, but it just looks terrible.

Also, are sweatshirts the new "thing" when it's cold outside? I very seldom see most people wear coats anymore. There's no way sweatshirts could keep you warm during bitterly cold weather. They certainly don't keep me warm.

I agree about the hair. But what's worse is the skinny (or really loose) jeans with the boxers sticking out. That bugs me more than anything.

As for sweatshirts, those were always the popular thing to wear when it's cold outside. IMO, coats are too bulky to be wearing to school, and you can just wear your sweatshirt all day and not have to take it off (unlike a coat).

Assuming Mike means hoodies, they're a trend nowadays. I love them, lol :) In response to Gil's skinny jeans trend, that's a trend for the skater punks or the emos. I agree though, boxers don't need to hang out.

I saw people wear coats all the time until around the time I started high school. But yes, the way people wear their pants like that is also ridiculous. Who are these people trying to look like?

I wanted to add red streaks in my hair, but my mom won't let me. And the hoodies thing, I LOVE my Florida Gator sweatshirt my sister gave me on my 17th bday. I used to wear it every single day, even on days when the Gators play. :D But overall, if people want to change their look just to attract someone, then that person is out of their mind and he or she will not win.

We do have many *likely* cases of H1N1 in Podunkville West Plains, the tiny country city that no one should actually care about. <_< Also, a ton of some sort of sinus infection is going around, too, so pretty much >50% of the town is down with something.

Here's what's creepy, though. This year, the rule about cancel(l)ing school is if the district-wide attendance drops below 80% one day, then we're out the next day and every day until it's expected to bounce back up. And the district-wide attendance is already below 90%. I would guess within the next 2 months we will have school cancel(l)ed due to illness. Yet still, I will refuse to take the shot because to me, it will just be the thing I get almost every other year: the flu. I understand that there are people who are more at risk for complications of H1N1, and I am more concerned for them, but as for me, I am not concerned. If a teenager in West Plains dies of H1N1, then I'll start to get worried. Is it likely? No.

/me steps off of his traveling soapbox

Now back to a less serious convo. I hope everyone's had a wonderful first day of fall, and hope it's a great one to come! I'll try to get some pics of our non-famous Ozarks fall foliage. <_<

I don't have H1N1, I have a really bad sinus infection.  It is not fun.  My whole face hurts.  :(  haha.

Ugh having a sinus infection sucks. My mom has been through several, and Fall is not her season at all.

Well the school day was interesting for me and a few others.. On the bus to school, a girl sitting in front of me had a seizure and the ambulance had to come get her. When they got to our bus 10 minutes after she started seizing, she was still seizing pretty violently. We had to had to get on a different bus afterward and we were like 30 minutes late.

Fall is my favorite season.  I usually do not get sick, maybe once during winter, but I mostly am ill during the spring months.
----
My life just got SO much easier (for the near future..as in tonight).  So, I am sitting here doing Geography homework (6 1/2 pages, mind you) and I have to name the Country, it's capital, and how many Kilometers of the city is on the coastline.  I struggle, and it takes me about 15 minutes just for the country and capital.  So I move to the next worksheet, and we have to locate the island in the Lesser Antilles (a lot of small islands) I have a headache from looking so close at the book.  At this point, I begin to be very frustrated, so I go to the next worksheet, and it says to list all of the mexican states  in ALPHABETICAL order on the table below (WHAT TABLE?!?!) Stupid me forgot to print out the table.  So, I decide to head to the course website to print out the table, and I notice that I have an eMail from my geography professor.  I figured it had something to do with this exam we took Tuesday.  Instead, it was an eMail saying class is cancelled for tomorrow!!  :D  :worship: :dance:  This makes me so happy because A) I dont have Geog til Tues B.) I have a ton more homework, and C)- I have to work.   

Just thought you all would enjoy my story of how my afternoon WAS going. :P...maybe not.  oh well.
Have a great evening, Everyone!!

I had a math midterm today, it was okay. In the past I struggled so much on inequalities. Now today I have so much confidence and did it step by step (as Patrick told me in the last couple of days). I dont get my result till next week. Also, I had a 77% (C) on my PoliSci midterm  :happy: (weird, because Political Science isnt my best subject...maybe these days of studying really did pay off!) :happy:

Oh my god! That's horrible! Adam had to go through the same when both of us were sophomores in high school. It was very scary to see that happening. Another friend of mine who is a freshman had a seizure when I was waiting for the bus to come a few weeks ago.

Seizures like the one she had, can kill. I hope she gets out okay.

I love their pumpkin spice coffee! I've had it all the time during the fall in recent years. I don't go to Starbucks regularly however because they're so expensive. I either make my own or go to Wawa (local convenience store).

Wow...that's very close!
There used to be two Starbucks like 3/4's of a mile close to each other in Calexico! One was next to Walmart, and another was at a small shopping center. The one at Walmart had to be shut down because supposedly the popularity and the customer satisfaction showed all. I also thought it was a bad idea to open a Starbucks right across the street from a previously opened Starbucks.

Yesterday, my Earth Science class had a Google Earth unit and we got to look at and play around with Google Earth the whole hour. I discovered that archived imagery was added. I cried when I saw my old neighborhood back in the 90's.

Here are some screenshots of the progression over the years (I've added a small red dot where my old house was located, and added arrows to the old farm house and the backhoe that destroyed the farm house there)

The final two shots are of another area near my old neighborhood with the sites highlighted

Yep, I checked for my location in downtown Lansing as well, but the only changes I noticed were the lack of a Rite Aid across the street (checking 1994 imagery) and the parking lot (as opposed to the parking garage) at Sparrow Hospital a block up.

Same here, at least now. I always liked Bing Maps 3D better since the imagery for my area is in a higher resolution and is much more recent than is the case with Google Earth, but now I am really warming up to Google Earth.

What they usually do at my school is they will just pull it and you have to get out in under 2 minutes. What's odd is it sounds different in every part of the school, It sounds Like a dying duck in the 6th grade hall, slightly muffled in the 7th grade hall, and sounds like someone's blowing a loud whistle in the music room, overall there they are VERY Loud

Thats what I mean. Seems silly not to use the alarm. When there is a fire nobody is going to come on the intercom and say, Please evacuate the building for a fire. Best use the alarm (which also test the system itself)
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

I got stung by a bee twice yesterday.  It hurt like a  :censored:.  I was at work pulling weeds (gosh I LOVE my job :rolleyes: ), and I must have aggravated a bee's nest or something, a bee stung me.  So I ran inside the store, and was telling my aunt (my boss) about it, and she said put mud on it.  I had my keys in my right and and threw them across the room.  I had got stung AGAIN by (I assume) the same bee on my hand.  It hurt.  (the first one was on my neck).  I had never been stung before, and so I really didn't know if I was alergic.  I am happy to report I am not alergic to bees :P :D

after a long night of fun, I now have to spend my Sunday working on my mountain of homework (and it is 70 degrees with not a cloud in the sky :( )

Soooo...I got my MAP test results back. We took tests in two areas (math and comm arts) last year. (Note: the comm arts test is a combination of English and reading). I scored advanced in both levels, getting a TerraNova score of 99 in Mathematics (I did better than 99% of students, I guess? Idk...their description was legalese.) and a 91 in comm arts.

Because my school does this thing where if you get proficient on a test, you get a half day off from school for each test you got a proficient on; and a full day for each test where you scored advanced, I get two days off. I plan to use these at the end of the year...8th grade gets out a week early for "PROMOTION" and I will get two days off before that. Niiiiice. :D

I have great news. Remember Mikaila (aka Miki), one of Serafina's kittens? Well, when I gave her away, apparently the original owners were moving. They left the neighborhood without Miki. So in the past few months she was prowling around the neighborhood as a stray kitty. She visited my house several times. Miki did call my house her true home, so yesterday upon coming home from college I took her back inside, gave her a short bath, and gave her the green pillow she used to sleep on.

Miki is now 6 months old and a very big kitty, which tells that she is definetly the first-born. She loves kitty snacks, belly rubs, and she loves to run around the house.

"Jon and Kate Plus 8" is no more.  Starting the 1st or the 15th (I can't remember the exact date) of November, the show will now be renamed "Kate Plus 8", which will focus on a single mother raising 8 kids.  TLC also mentioned that they have plans for Kate in 2010.  Wonderful.

Oh it's extremely confusing. I have been using it ever since 2007, and I still don't really understand it. But the thing is though, once you get the hang of it and understand its features along with how to find them, Office 2007 is pretty nifty.

You want to hear something crazy listen to this. My school system has a new policy... curve all failing grades to a 61. So the grading system looks like this now
(61-69)E
(70-75)D
(76-85)C
(86-92)B
(93-100)A

This is INSANE!! If I study hard on a test and make a 61 and someone who guesses on every problem, we both make the same grade. Its just a sneaky way to inflate scores. Also the weight given for tests has also been decreased. Teachers, parents and some students (me included) are pissed as hell. This is another reason No Child Left Behind needs to be axed. Schools are cutting corners to boost scores and pass rates. I wrote an editorial about this to my newspaper and it got published Sunday. To my surprise a local news station WVEC came to my house and interviewed me on it. My editorial sparked them to run the story. I was also contacted by another station today. Nobody told parents or students about this new policy at all. The system kept it quiet....and on purpose!!

Well, basically the show is going to stay the same, just without Jon, which to me it seems that is what it is now.  The whole situation is just plain sad.
----
Speaking of TLC reality shows... I was watching "17 kids and Counting" (now 18 kids and counting), and the episode I saw is where the oldest child proposed to his girlfriend.  What I found bizzare, is that neither of them have kissed another person. They both wanted to save their first kiss for their wedding date. Weird, huh?  I can understand now having sex before marriage, but kissing?  Idk.  BTW- The Duggars are expecting a 19th child..crazy.

Mainly the Thursday comedies (The Office, 30 Rock, Community - Parks and Rec is horrible).  Still watch Leno's monologue, but he recycles material for two days it seems.

I love The Office and Community (Joel McHale FTW!), 30 Rock is meh... I watched Leno on the first few days but my interest has faded.

One of my favorite shows which the third season premieres tonight is Parking Wars on A&E. They follow the Philadelphia parking authority as they boot, ticket, and impound cars. It's pretty interesting and funny to see how irate people get and with the third season they add Detroit.

Mornin' all! :yawn:

I actually passed out again last night as I always do every Friday so this is why I am up so early. :bleh:
Did the week catch up with you?  ha.  Happens to me...usually on Sunday's though.

I agree with you, Mike.  NYC would definitely not be a good place for the Olympics.

I was suppose to find out on Thursday if I got the job at the local ABC station here.  Thursday came and went, and I did not recieve a call or eMail, which got me worried.  So, I eMailed the man in charge of it, and he eMailed me back and said he got caught up with stuff, and has not gotten the chance to "put in recommendations", and he thanked me for keeping in touch.  Keeping my fingers crossed!
But they never got a chance to host it. They can always consider Seattle or Minneapolis.

The official peak wind gust from the summit was 107 mph this morning, and I can only imagine their wacky LFs right now as I glanced over their conditions from the past 24 hours.  I've never been to Mount Washington.  Part of me wants to go there and witness the crazy weather myself, but the other part of me doesn't want to be out on their observation deck unless a team of people has me tied down as if I were a TWC hurricane reporter. :P

Something is seriously wrong with the weather across the country this week- Freezing rain/wintry mix (albeit light) as far south as southwestern Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, 13.8" of snow officially reported at the North Platte, NE airport yesterday, Winter Storm Watches through the plains (and snow forecasted for Chazz's area), and also a Wintry Mix in the forecast for southern Wisconsin. For me, rain. The record low for Rockford, IL was set at 25 (previously 26), yet my record low remains out
of reach, at 19.

This just isn't right.

However, this is an encouraging sign:

I really dont want to disagree with both of you, but I have to. It's not the stream that's taking away the posts on the forums. I would blame it on school. As I log on here after my classes here in school, I have noticed that between the hours of 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM PDT are the hours of inactivity. I noticed this also when I wake up at around 7:30 my time. Martin's Stream has also had inactivity as well, but it's not the case here. So, as of this time it's the busiest time of the school year, with tests, studying, and stuff, so, just bear with them.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: phw115wvwx on October 12, 2009, 01:37:00 PM
The stream doesn't get as many visitors as you all think.  I never see more than ten people in it now when it used to have far more back in April and May.  I feel the real reasons for the decline in posting activity come from school and the lack of interest in TWC lately.  The TWC boards have really slowed down since the summer began as there's been almost no news worth mentioning.  Furthermore, I noticed many members feeling really upset about TWC's changes this year.  Maybe we should try expanding TWCT to include more weather topics or other ideas involving TWC.  Any ideas?

What I think has been the cause for inactivity was the lack of admin activity (until recently), maybe NBCU ruining TWC, and The Game Room getting constantly posted in always by the same two people this summer :whistling: (I won't mention names).

I disagree with that statement completely. I have not neglected to mention anything on the chat over the forum. People already limit their time on it as well. Quite frankly I only use it for a few min each day. I think the same goes for other users as well. The chat is not meant to replace the forum and it doesn't. It provides an environment similar to instant messaging where people can talk about their lives and chat about things perhaps they don't want to publicly post on the forum. In fact most people use separate clients just like an IM client.

If there is enough concern over having the chat, I will make a poll to determine if it should say based on majority vote.

OMG Toy Story is coming back!!  :dance: Can't wait to see their 3rd and final movie! Looks pretty good!
How long has it been since the last one came out?

It's been awhile like 7 or 8 years. I remember because it came out around my birthday though.

I think it was more than that...10 years IIRC. Both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were released on my birthday believe it or not   :thrilled:

I have to disagree with you on the release dates.

Toy Story was released November 22, 1995. Toy Story 2 was released November 19, 1999. Toy Story 3 will be released June 18, 2010.

The stream doesn't get as many visitors as you all think.  I never see more than ten people in it now when it used to have far more back in April and May.  I feel the real reasons for the decline in posting activity come from school and the lack of interest in TWC lately.  The TWC boards have really slowed down since the summer began as there's been almost no news worth mentioning.  Furthermore, I noticed many members feeling really upset about TWC's changes this year.  Maybe we should try expanding TWCT to include more weather topics or other ideas involving TWC.  Any ideas?
I have interests in improving the amount of discussion on weather related topics. I do think lack of interest with TWC plays an important role

I think TIME is the reason why the forums have been slow.  Nobody seems to have time any more. :no: Like others have mentioned, TWC is going through a time where NOTHING is happening.  It is all the same from day to day.

Perhaps its time for me to go in there and clean up some things. I'll think about doing that. I agree though, time for everyone is shorter these days! My main concern is to loose people completly! I hope that despite the low activity people are still willing to come back when they have some time. I don't want this place to reach the levels TWCC has been seeing.

Ugh, I was expecting that this week would be busy, but I am now left with nothing to do. Two of my midterms (I was supposed to have one today for Beginning Algebra, and tomorrow for Political Science) were postponed till next week. Then, the school's wireless internet is shut off just because of a stupid Karaoke event going on today. It's been spotty all week, having to do the work on the library computers. Then, I got an email today saying that my Financial Aid disbursement is delayed for the 2nd time, now I have to wait TWO MORE WEEKS instead of this Friday to get my college money. I just feel this week is just a pointless week to go to school, and I should have gone to Ensenada this week than last week, since I had plans last week.  :furious: :chair: :finger: :censored: :thumbdown: :pinch: :nono: :hammer: :club:

It's been getting rather cold and lonely here in Albany, so I'll be moving back home to WV with my family on October 23.  My lease is expiring at the end of this month, and I still haven't had much success with the job search yet. :(  I'm still trying to land a NWS job although things are going very slow now.  I was just turned down again during a recent interview, so things aren't going well for me.  I won't be online during the later part of next week as I disconnect everything.  Hopefully, I'll be able to return here just before Halloween.

Thanks.  Meteorology is a very competitive field now.  The fact that I've been interviewed twice is a good sign that the NWS sees value in me, so it's hopefully only a matter of time before I make it.  My family just told me today that they're getting DSL internet as they're tired of the dial-up, too.  Thus, I'll actually have decent internet when I move to WV that will allow me to keep in touch with everyone.

Now for my own side of things, we got our first cold front today (still cloudy now though), and boy was the rain coverage far different than what got said on both weather.com and my local news stations. :noexpression: <--- (sorry Ana, I had to use it :P)

Wow, I'm dealing with a lot of crap with the warranty on my laptop. For a week now (since last Thursday), it has not booted up properly, and when it does boot (after 5+ minutes of start-up time, and then the 10 minutes or so it takes to get past the login screen), it freezes and does not work. Sometimes it will work intermittently, and I have had to take advantage of those times to try and get files off of it. I used it to record TWC in Alpena, Bad Axe, the E.L. (22842), Grand Rapids, Novi, Romulus, Bay City, and St Ignace. So far, I have backed up all my Alpena, Bad Axe and Bay City recordings. Except for 1-3 files that won't transfer properly, I got all my E.L., Grand Rapids, and St Ignace recordings backed-up as well.

We called the Staples warranty and they informed us that the package (a box to send the laptop in back to the warranty along with a few other things) was shipped through UPS, and would have arrived on Wednesday. However, they could not find my address, even though we receive mail as normal and have received packages through UPS before. They sent a post card informing the recipient (us) even though they couldn't find my address.

Now the laptop freezes during the boot-up process. I allowed it to run a disk check, and it found several files that are unreadable.

Keep in mind, I bought this laptop brand new from Staples back in June, and got it the day after my birthday (the 11th).

I had a literal meltdown (hyperventilating; hot-headed, hostile attitude) on Wednesday nite, which caused me to stay home from school yesterday, and I got near having another one yesterday as well. It is amazing how much stress this laptop has brought to me.

So today my college and the club I'm in, The IVC Adventure Club, held it's 3rd annual Staff/Faculty vs Students softball game. For me, the game looked more like BASEBALL because 99.99% of the Students team were guys (yes I was the only female, but hey, I'm used to it). My Political Science professor and my former Astronomy professor participated at the Staff/Faculty team, and man, do they looooove to tease me.  :rolleyes: I became Asst. Captain for the Students team. We were beating the Staff/Faculty BIG TIME throughout the first 5 innings, but with a home run made by a CIS professor, the score skyrocketed. We were down by 8, and it was impossible to get back on board. Final score was 14-6. BUT...I'm not too sad about that, the students and I will try harder next year.  :yes:

I saw a radar for a split second (photo attached) instead of the satellite lf 2. A play list song gets interrupted by some other one, then the biggest fail of all, during the show, a plain blue screen shows for a few seconds, then the show resumes, this was the 10am "encore".

Good luck Patrick!!  We are all privileged to be friends with such a great person!

I was even colder than that, it got down to 37° and I think the wind chill was 30, but that was only because the clouds finally moved out and we had calm winds.

so today marks the last day of our women's sky-rise residential hall at ASU.

(http://ramportcontent.angelo.edu/channels/asu_snapshot/UniversityHallOct23-26.jpg)

the 10 story residential hall is scheduled to be imploded at approximately 8:15 this morning, i'm fixin to head out and get it on video and some before/after photos.

the hall was closed in 2005 when the university discovered there was a major asbestos issue after considering completing renovations to the 55 year old building. it's sister hall, Concho Hall...formally an all men's dorm, was also tested, but the results came back negative. 
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

demolition of the residence hall is being uploaded...

but completely irrelevant -- i never had issues with windows vista, i upgrade to windows 7 and my windows media player is not letting view any videos.  :hmm:

also firefox is constantly crashing now too. =/

Did you actually upgrade or do a fresh install? I had a similar issues on a test computer I upgraded. Media Player would work fine if I opened it and even would load videos if I dragged and dropped them into the player. However if I tried to open the file outside of the player I got an error message similar to that of yours even with all the codecs correctly installed. This wasn't limited to media files for me either. Turns out some thing with my original vista system were outtawack and that messed up the upgrade. You actually dont need too many more codecs for 7 since a lot more are supported. If you did actually do an upgrade I HIGHLY encourage a fresh install. All of your files will go into a WindowsOld folder on your computer, so they are not erased. You just have to reinstall your programs, which to me sometimes is nice since I accumulate a lot of crap over time :P I just install what I need. Good luck

It's always best to do a clean install. You're less likely to encounter problems with a clean install, upgrades will usually cause SOMETHING to mess up. You won't get that with a clean install because you are starting fresh. :thumbsup:

Mmmmmm Chili, at work we're having the 9th annual chili cook-off tomorrow. Everybody makes a pot to bring in and then we vote on who's the best.
I wouldn't mind joining that cook-off as I've been fighting a sinus cold today and could use something to clear myself up. :P

My mom had to deal with fall allergies due to the winds that been blowing around.. get well soon Patrick :)

OMG!!!! Today is the best day ever. When coming home from school, I got a Twitter direct message from the chief meteorologist from KSWT (my local CBS affiliate). She saw the two pictures I sent via twitpic about the windy day yesterday and wanted to show them ON AIR!!! I totally said yes, and sent those two pictures, plus 3 more via email. Then my friends call me and say "Yo, Ana! Are those your pictures on TV?" Yah!  :thrilled: They just came on, and the meteorologist was impressed of the amount of sand being blown here in Duck Centro.

So Halloween is right around the corner...who's doing something for Halloween?

 Besides LAT48s, I am going down south for a mini family reunion, then I'm taking my niece and little cousins for trick-or-treating. I'm going to dress up as a witch, but I am considering changing my costume since I've been a witch for 4 years straight. I may buy an "instant kitty costume" that contains a tail, ears, and bell. So I can be a kitty instead of a boring witch, and that I dont have to scare my niece who will be Tinkerbell.

Thank goodness!  I've been getting tired of seeing all the commercials for it. <_<  I get the local news from DC, so I've seen countless ads over the last week for the VA election.  I've seen about twenty ads on average between all the candidates in one hour, and my family told me that it has been that way for several months.  I personally think that is way too much.

Actually , I read they closed down about 300 schools last week for Swine Flu precautions, they expect twice as many more schools will close for at least a week or more before the year is over, I find it hard to believe that SC is only experiencing regional flu outbreak and not widespread, they're surrounded by neighboring widespread flu states.

I think Al is saying that the flu is not as harmful as first thought.  My brother's high school had an outbreak about 2 weeks ago, where 35-40% of the school was out.  They still stayed open (they don't close school down for  :censored: ).  Just wash your hands, cover your mouth with your sleeve, and you should be fine in getting it, so no need for school to shut down.

I'm surprised hat wasn't a run off, the mayor race we had here was a run off and the two canidates were not as close together in votes or percentage as those two governors. How exactly does this whole run off thing works? Is the citeria for run offs different for different areas?  :dunno:

For ATL AFAIK if neither canidate does not get more than 50% of the vote they have a run off. The run off is held a few months later and the winner of that determines the outcome. This is just off of what I have heard so I am not sure. Atlanta has a freaky system

I'm surprised hat wasn't a run off, the mayor race we had here was a run off and the two canidates were not as close together in votes or percentage as those two governors. How exactly does this whole run off thing works? Is the citeria for run offs different for different areas?  :dunno:

For ATL AFAIK if neither canidate does not get more than 50% of the vote they have a run off. The run off is held a few months later and the winner of that determines the outcome. This is just off of what I have heard so I am not sure. Atlanta has a freaky system


That's probably the case, the same thing happened 8 years ago twice when the votes were divided for the mayor we have now, but I think the only reason there was a run off twice for that election was because her opponent refused to concede to her.

Following that tragic story out of Cleveland, OH, KDKA did this report on Megan's Law. It works on the "honor system!" I can't believe states don't share information. Megan's Law really needs to be revisited...

I thought information like that would be shared with everyone throughout the nation.  Sadly, there are so many people listed and so few cops to enforce this group to where I don't see how it can work well at all.

So I saw the Michael Jackson "This is It" movie, and it's not as excited or "OMG THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE" type of movie as I thought. Although I liked how he did the rehearsal for "They Dont Really Care About Us". Even though yesterday was the last day that it would be on theatres (supposedly would be on theatres for two weeks), I'm surprised so many MJ fans want to watch the movie! Its crazy!

Just the previews of "2012" alone makes me think it's just another "Day After Tomorrow" movie with all the "eye candy" of destruction and enhanced visual effects.  I'm not wild about it, but feel free to let me know what you thought after seeing it.

Martin, I'm glad to hear that you're okay.  I saw some of your Twitter pictures and became very concerned about your safety.  I hope you and your family can salvage as much as possible around your property, but the main thing is that you're all still safe.

Tonight we just had the 66th annual Bell Game. The Brawley High Wildcats (where I graduated high school) and the Central High Spartans are huge archrivals and they fight for the 66-year-old bell. Brawley won more Bell Games than Central. Tonight, Central gets to keep the bell for the 2nd year straight.  :cry3:

When listening to the radio broadcast, I am disappointed at Brawley's performance. They went for the two-point conversion 3 times and failed all 3 times. I guaranteed if they went for the extra point they would have won.

Now I can imagine El Centro becoming the true "Spartanville", Victory Parade to be scheduled right after school gets out at Central High on Monday.  <_< :wacko:

I try to avoid multitasking if I can.  I seem to do better focusing on doing one thing at a time although my mind can certainly wander between several things.  Whatever works best for you (multitasking a lot or never doing it) is what you should do.

Wow, your story is worse than mine. My school loves to make us freshman and sophomores angry when it comes to registering for classes.
According to the schedule, I register last, as a sophomore. Older students, Post-Sophomores (technically Juniors/Seniors) and disabled students get to register for their classes first. It frustrates me because when I register, the classes I want are now filled up. Last year I got the classes I wanted because Priority Registration was in effect for every student in school. I feel sorry for the freshmen because they try their hardest to register for the classes they need.

Thanks again!  I've been searching since March, which should give all of you an idea on how difficult it's been for anyone trying to land a job within the NWS.  I know some friends that have struggled just trying to get any kind of job.  I sure hope things turn around in the future with this economy. :hmm:

I've got a research paper due a week from tomorrow.  It is making me VERY aggravated, because I have to focus on these two movies that were shown in class, and research something about the movie.  It's so stupid.

Tonight, I will be writing a paper on a movie that I will watch from the 1950's.  uggh.  I agree with Al, Wednesday can't come soon enough! :P

Ah that sucks, hope you feel better soon! I've had a sore thought for a few days but I don't think it's a sign of being sick.

I was just having a retro moment. I discovered there was a thing called the "NES Test Station" that the NES authorized service places had that you could bring in your accessories and have them tested, here is a vid from a collector who found one... Nintendo NES SNES Test Station Service Center (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJfk97AV9nc#)

Also has anyone here heard of the "Sega Channel"? It was basically a cartridge you'd plug into the Genesis, screwed a cable line into and you could download all the games available for $15/month. I wish I would have known about it when I was that age! Here's a promo for it that has some parts with Nick Arcades' Phil Moore... Sega Channel promo-2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BHkU9z59xQ#)

Ahh what I'd give for it to be 1995 again... sigh...

So I'm still sick as  :censored:, and somehow I've been kicked out of my math class. I came to class miserable; congested and with no voice, but I was not allowed to miss another class or else I would drop out. Then, during class I was sneezing, coughing, sniffling, getting out of class just to blow my nose. Then, finally my professor came up to me, and said: "You look miserable, maybe you should go home. Come back when you are not sneezing and coughing anymore." I really wish she would have told me this on Monday, which was the day I was in the process of getting sick. Or else, I would have stayed home in bed.

I will spend my morning cleaning, and my afternoon/evening working on a Research paper for English.

We are also having thanksgiving at our house, but i'm not sure how it's gonna turn out. My mom ordered $200 worth of food from a caterer. At first, we were supposed to pick up the food at the mall, but she wasn't there so we called and she said she was busy and that she would bring the food to our house at 6pm. 6pm came; she didn't show. We called again and she still claimed to be busy so she said her boyfriend would drop off the food at our house at 7pm. 7pm came; he didn't show. Then we called multiple times but she didn't pick up, and when we finally tried to leave a message, it said her inbox was full! So long story short, we got ripped of $200 and we now have no food for thanksgivng.

I'm not doing Black Friday this year since I just came back from Mexicali, spending time with the family. Too bad I will miss out on the $249 32" Flat-Screen TV that's totally on sale. The money I'm actually saving is for the Windows 7 upgrade. ;)

I went to Staples yesterday for Black Friday shopping. It just goes to show, if you have a game plan, know what you are getting and where you are going, then you should be able to get what you want in a timely manner. I got there just a few minutes before 4:30 AM EST (they opened at 6 AM EST). I went in there with my dad, and went straight for the portable HD I wanted (which I now use for all files on my laptop  :biggrin: ), while I had my dad go back and get the keyboard and laptop chilling mat I wanted. We got all 3 items, then were straight for the checkout lane, at a time when only one of the 4 were in use. Target had the same HD for $60 (it was $70 at Staples), so I got them to price match and take an additional $10 off  :D
I went right back in after I put the items in the car, to go see an EasyTech, and the checkout lanes were swamped.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! KISS/Buckcherry in concert was siiiiiiick! I'm not really a fan of KISS (I am a fan of Buckcherry tho), but my dad said the show would be so awesome I'd want more. And I do want more!!!! I posted some pictures on Facebook and soon I will upload some clips from my cellphone (on youtube). It made me forget that I was sick.

Speaking of my illness, I woke up with a sore throat again. I know that because I was screaming too much at the concert last night.  :whistling:. I still have the stupid congested nose and those frequent headaches.

Are you taking enough medicine, Ana?  Those kinds of symptoms ought to be gone after a week.

Yeah, it could have been nicer here too. Was expecting 1-2 inches that nite, and came back to find that taken out of the forecast  <_<   Anyway, met some family from their side, and was there for a few hours. All that was good, really, was the turkey. I'm not a pie person :P

Despite my illness, I had a great time with my family. My grandma made the juciest turkey (better than mine last year :P), and I was the one who made the stuffing. We also had dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, salad; and for dessert, pumpkin and apple pies, whipped cream, and Jell-o!

I am surprised I have no leftovers!

I hate to change the subject here, but I'm in sort of a rut now. Those of you who have watched the clips I posted from Port Huron (had to go there a second time with my desktop since my laptop did not work the first time), may have noticed the horrible static in most of them. I now suspect this is because this headend has gone digital. When I was there Tuesday nite, some of the channels on the TV were blue with a message mentioning the digital transition. When I managed to get one recording then, it was also staticy, but I thought it was issue with the audio on my laptop. I then noticed the same static on the TV, and noticed it in my recordings the second time.

So long reply short, this could turn to be a problem with my recordings of 22842 and when I travel elsewhere. If I were to obtain an additional DTA from Comcast, would this work on other headends, especially non-Comcast headends? I have no idea what to do here.

Hey guys, I have a question -- i didn't think it was too serious enough for me to make a new topic

anyway, I got my HP Pavilion laptop this summer -- and right from the start it became apparent to me that sometimes when i'd put the computer into "sleep mode" it would freeze, and refuse to boot back up again. the computer itself will turn on, but nothing will come up on the screen -- so i would have to force shut down and restart the computer (i still have to do this sometimes, but not as often)

i thought maybe upgrading to windows 7 would help fix the issue, however it did not. anyone know why this happens?

I had similar issues when I got my first new computer (coincidentally also an HP), and they found bad ram. I would say take a look at some of the hardware, and make sure your computer doesn't have a large accumulation of dust in it.

Arby's is good for curly fries, roast beef sandwiches, and their horseradish and BBQ sauces to dip in my opinion.  It's alright as a fast-food place, but I can think of better places.

The beef and cheddar sandwich (either medium or large) and curly or straight fries is what I almost always get there. I only go there once every 2-3 months though.

Wow, it is so nice to see that winter is finally here. There's something wrong with the fact that last evening was the first time that snow showed up on my front page CC. But on the upside, it appears as though there may be a couple inches of snow on Monday, and models are now agreeing that a significant storm is likely to assemble next week.

I still haven't seen any winter related WWA (even though it got to the county to my west and the county to my north today) yet this season, so consider yourself lucky Patrick.

Glad you are seeing that Mike. :)

I heard on the news that it was supposed to snow down near Houston today! And of course, a lot of cities in the panhandle have already received a lot of snow.

We got our first snowfall this past Wednesday. :biggrin: Unfortunately, the accumulation was only a "trace" but seeing those flakes was still a neat treat. :D

Ice storms SUCK! Especially when you start out as snow and it changes to sleet and freezing rain and all that good moisture is being wasted on sleet and freezing rain while we could be getting snow falling at 3 inches per hour..

Yeah, I never cared for ice, but I do seem to like when it begins with ice and then changes over to snow. It is irritating to have ice for the fact that it does create black ice for several days. Snow lasts longer than ice.

On another subject, this is getting REALLY irritating:

Ugh, what a horrific game for the Gators. I was hoping they would beat Alabama so they can go to Pasadena (which is 3 hours from my area) for the championship! ugh!! we were so close, but oh well, they did had their potential.  :itsok:

It's a sad day locally. A Penn Hills Police officer was basically ambushed last night while responding to a domestic violence call. He was shot while sitting in his patrol car awaiting backup. This hits home really hard because I know quite a few of the officers with the department (about 30 officers). I didn't know him personally, but this is a shame. Earlier this year 3 officers were killed in the City of Pittsburgh, where they were also ambushed when responding to a call.

All local media outlets have coverage, but here's a link to just one of KDKA's reports. There's multiple videos to watch on their site.

Indeed it is sad, and I thought it was odd that it happened another time previously. My thoughts go out to those officers' families.



I hate to change the subject here, but I am typing on my laptop for the last time for a little while. I need to put it in a box and ship it out to HP in Mipitas, CA. It is going to be so hard living without this, lol :P
Should get it back in a couple weeks (probably week of Christmas allowing for that 7-9 business day time frame). They need to look at it to not only repair the loose casing, but look into some wiring issues, and the issue with the overheating as well. I am hoping they replace it. Wish me luck!

Well to me, that explains why the "rebellion" of sorts against higher authority exists, but I think the question here is to why the problem has become more prevalent of late. When it comes to that, I haven't a clue.

People will get emotionally disturbed by anything. Although you have a point, it just can't be the economy causing the increase in police deaths. More people could be homeless and in poverty and they get very depressed by that. Plus the police are on the streets the most, so with those people and the police out in the streets at the same time, anything could happen and this seems to be the case. :(

Is it a physical drive error? If so then you are likely screwed. If not its just a matter of getting the computer to read it. Does the drive make any odd or rhythmic clicking noises?

Yes, it is believed to be a physical error. I took it into Staples, and after searching for the drive on special software they have, they told me it could be that something got loose inside the drive and scratched the disk. They told me I can have someone mehcanically take the thing apart and steal the files off that way. Not sure if that works though.

I've been able to get some data off with some recovery software found on the web. I would only pay for them to get the data as a last resort since most places charge by the gb for data recovery. Last resort.... stick it in the freezer :P Sometimes it works

It's indeed a last resort move, but I've seen articles supporting this idea.  If you put the disk in the freezer for several hours, the drive can work for a little bit when you take it out and try to access it.  If it dies before you can get all the data, just stick it back in the freezer for a longer time and try again.  You should stick the disk in a plastic zip-lock bag to prevent condensation while it's in the freezer.  Heat and moisture are the two biggest enemies to any drive or electrical device.

Well, I would try it, but I'm nervous about causing even further damage that would indeed make me screwed. Patrick, can you find one or two of these articles? I'll be looking into the cost of taking the drive apart and stealing the data off that way, but it does get pricey. Staples charges $50 for the job (they say it only goes up to 10 GB, but they have backed up at least 500 GB of my stuff in only two times). But again, Staples can't find the drive even in their restoration software.

Aaron, most of the articles came from tech forums with opinions from various users, but some people have found it to be successful.  Here's one thread where you see mixed opinions about it:  http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7591_102-0.html?threadID=245494 (http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7591_102-0.html?threadID=245494)

I would advise trying to get the data by other means first since using the freezer will not cure the drive at all but only allow you a brief amount of time to access it and back up the data.  Furthermore, there's no guarantee that the freezer will work with your drive.  Yes, it can damage the drive further if you do it too much, which is why I say this option is truly a last resort.

The only option I have is to spend near a grand to have a state of the art company look at it. I was told that the freezer option most likely won't work for me, and I would have to let it thaw for a couple daze, rather than take it out and try to get it to work right away.

Evan, have you been late before? Most teachers here don't even give just after school detentions (which usually doesn't mean a writeup) until after three lates. At least I think that's how it works, but I'm never late to class without a pass :D

Our school now has tardy tables. Teachers used to care less if you were a couple seconds or min late. Now your caught and entered into a database before you even get to the classroom. 4 and you get Saturday school. Retarded rule.

It happened at 12:35, I don't think that has anything to do with him going to bed early :no:

Taryness is stupid and uncalled for (with exceptions...of course). As a college student now, it ANNOYS the hell out of me when someone is late.  If you are going to be late, don't come at all, you are distracting me from learning.. :P

Even though tardiness is a problem, it's better than skipping class altogether.  When I was a teaching assistant for four years as part of my graduate student duties, I saw how terrible attendance can be.  I remember seeing days where not even 1/3 of the students were in class!  Consequently, the professors had me help them to make sure the students who were there got some benefits compared to those who weren't.  We gave away several upcoming test questions and answers when attendance was low.  Then, the professor and I would laugh when the exam results came back and showed how many students got those particular questions wrong.  So, I think you all can figure out the lesson here. ;)

What an incredible relief to find this:
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3093/computerscreenshot2.jpg)
Apparently when I backed things up onto my main HD back in October, the time when my laptop HD failed, I never deleted the files. I am still missing several videos, and I had to get my Bay City and Petoskey videos back via Zamzar (still have my Romulus, St Ignace, and Port Huron clips to get back). Fortunately though, I am only losing a couple videos and I backed most everything up.

No, they're not Aaron. You're uploading too many videos too fast and this will not let the views/ratings get settled in.

On a side note - can someone help me out? more often now My computer freezes and it says "Running Low on Virtual Memory. Windows will try to increase the paging fiile".

That thought process doesn't really add up to me. I only upload 2-3 a week, which really is not as much as I used to upload. I want to close my socool775 account and reupload everything in my wxntrafficfan account, but can't really do that due to views.

Your videos are suffering? I have a hard time believing that because your videos get 100 views a day while I have 3-week old videos with just 36 views. :unsure:

Well, those are all instant views, meaning that they are right after I upload a video, and views do not keep coming well after the video is uploaded. Plus, I get much fewer ratings and comments than many other users. I really think it's because I'm not well liked here, and I can name several users that I don't care to talk to and vice versa.

Yes. It's not an argument at all. We all are having issues with YT views. YT is on a decline now as with TWC. No one quite frankly likes the two anymore. Several longtime members who used to be into TWC hardly post/visit here anymore like Derek, Gil, Gary, Epiphany etc

Anyway...  :whistling:

So back to your issue, Molly, I would say start with clearing some memory and seeing what that does. Sounds to me though like the very same issue I was having with my desktop back in 2007 during the first 6 months I had it: bad ram. Computer kept freezing on me too, and also ran very slow at times. I would take either take the computer in to make sure that is the issue or try buying new ram for it and see what that does.

Yeah, I agree with that. I miss them all. Havent talked to Epiphany for a while now. As for YT, several days ago I got a copyright notice that made me delete one of my emulations (I'm glad it's not the most recent, which had the song "Clouds of Heaven" by Ryan Farish.) I'm sad to do this, but it is for the sake of my account. And I only have one reason to watch TWC: Chris Warren :wub:

It's not Clouds Of Heaven, which was the most recent. "Rushing" by Moby, which I used for the August 21, 2009 emulation got a copyright notice... by WMG.

I'm going to address these concerns about YT views:  If all of you want to improve your views, then you need to create more variety in your videos and not post more than once a week.  Most of the mainstream doesn't care about LFs and TWC like we do, so you got to mix it up more.  Aaron, you were uploading TV commercials that were getting very high views, so why not try a few more of those now and then along with anything else you want?  If I ever start uploading videos, I'm not going to focus solely on LFs or TWC.  I'll actually do weather videos and anything else random that I feel is funny or interesting to capture.

Additionally, is YT views really that big a deal?  You don't need views to survive on YT.  Uploading a video is solely for the pleasure of the user to keep those memories and share them with the world.  Whether everyone else thinks it's awesome or not doesn't take away from the treasured moments that the user wants to capture forever, which is why you have your own account.  I'm trying to deal with family, friends, getting a job, and so many other things to where I could care less about my account having zero videos uploaded and zero views right now.  There are far bigger problems in life than getting enough YT views, so please keep everything in perspective here.

Hi guys, I'm sorry I haven't been on for awhile. I've been really busy with school work. Yet, there have also been many personal issues lately with family, but with friends I can discuss it.

On Friday night (December 11, 2009), I texted a friend what she was doing on the weekend, and she said she was hanging out with 20 of our friends (juniors from our classes) at Naked Fish for Eileen's birthday party (her birthday was on December 8). After I got the text, I felt a bit jealous, because with 20 PEOPLE?!?!?!?!? (I wouldn't bother if it was 5 people, but 20 PEOPLE?!?!?!?. That's so shady. Then I got so frikken upset that I couldn't hang out with them, and I was home for the rest of Friday and the weekend, depressed and crying, that I had no friends at all, that I wanted to go back to India or even move to Canda (either Vancouver or Toronto to see how the french and british are). After that, I felt that I never wanted to speak to them EVER again. After that, a friend of mine decided to talk to me about my problems and stuff, and I felt a LOT better by Monday.

Well, I always thought people would find it interesting that I post videos of multiple different units. I always find enjoyment in seeing all the different configurations, and seeing maps and whatnot from different angles. I've always thought I could compete with mwmnp25 when it comes to that, but oh well :P
I mean, recording from only one location is sort of boring, and it sort of comes back to what Patrick said, in that I upload a variety. I'm trying to cut back on Lansing recordings, and focus more on other units. But for some reason 22842 seems to be even less popular than 22840.

I tried to upload a couple commercials, i.e. the SunLife commercial about Florida and the latest Progressive commercial (where Flo says "Would you like one great big bag, or two still pretty big bags"?), but neither one really has done well, and I pulled the Progressive commercial right after I uploaded it.

Do people really care about seeing different units, or is that something I only get enjoyment out of?

Aaron, do whatever you need to be creative and to have fun with your YT account, but I would highly recommend that you focus on finding new friends and improving the ones you have instead of worrying about views.  I made that post for everyone having those concerns because I know there are far more important problems in life, and I can tell you that I'm dealing with two right now that would prove my case:  I've been turned down twice for NWS jobs over the past seven days, and one of my closer family relatives has recently turned nasty on me for reasons I don't understand.  I'll have to see that relative on the 25th, so I now have to just hope for even a happy Christmas. :(

Deleting files from your system won't help. Virtual Memory = RAM.. Simply cut back on multitasking and you should be fine. Or, you can buy more RAM.

It never happened but now it's happening more than I count. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Would deleting files and programs on my hard drive help fix this?

Deleting files from your system won't help. Virtual Memory = RAM.. Simply cut back on multitasking and you should be fine. Or, you can buy more RAM.
Thank you, Devon, I thought this was the case. My PC has only 512MB RAM so perhaps upgrading it 1GB RAM will solve the issue.

Actually, Virtual Memory is not the same thing is RAM. That error just means that Windows is increasing your Virtual Memory paging file, which is stored on your hard disk, it has nothing to do with the physical RAM in your PC. It's not VERY serious, although you should consider freeing system resources by not running programs you are not using (to avoid getting this message too often). :yes:

Am I the center point around which all storms seem to go? There was a big storm I just missed last week. Houston and points northward and eastward had several inches of snow the week before. Now a storm moving up the eastern seaboard, with Winter Storm Watches all the way up to Philadelphia?

LOL! Totally know how you feel.. We were suppose to get the brunt of this storm according to the models like 8 days ago.. Then it's officially going to be a fish storm. We might get a few inches from it with that other low that's going to come down to the OV.. Hopefully it'll be those surprise snow storms and we get much more than predicted.

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM SATURDAY TO
6 AM EST SUNDAY.

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THE SNOW MAY FALL HEAVY AT TIMES AS
THE STORM MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE NEW JERSEY AND
DELAWARE COASTS.

WARMER AIR MAY PUSH IN FROM THE OCEAN AND CAUSE A MIX OR CHANGE
TO PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COAST...KEEPING SNOW AMOUNTS LESS THAN
AREAS JUST INLAND. HOWEVER...AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY EVEN THESE
LOCATIONS MAY CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW AND POTENTIALLY RECEIVE
HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS.

ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
WARNING AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THESE TOTALS ARE
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE STORM. IF THE LOW MOVES MORE
TO THE WEST... AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHER. A MORE EASTWARD TRACK WOULD
YIELD LOWER ACCUMULATIONS.

THE SNOW SHOULD FALL HEAVY AT TIMES...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS...WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW. THIS MAY CAUSE DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED CLOSER TO AT
ALONG THE COAST.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...
SLEET...AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE.  THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

Also, I got bored :P

Yeah, it is helpful to know I'm not the only one getting screwed, although it sure seems that way. AFAIK, I am further from the ocean than Philadelphia, and typically snow comes here before it comes there. This winter it's all topsy-turvy  :wacko:
I mean seriously, Houston had a Winter Storm Warning, before I even saw my first HiRAD guess of snow? And now, when it has been almost 5 years (as of Jan 22) since I have seen a 10 inch or more snow, Philadelphia could see over a foot.

You've got a point Tavores, which is only making me realize my fear for this winter. The last El Nino winter, '06-'07, was awful. I mean really, everything combined that winter to make it horrible, ya know? I also find it funny that the big storm last week took almost the exact same track through Michigan as the storm in the beginning of December '06 took. Funny, right?

Wow, I wonder if a blizzard warning may be needed. The snow may get heavy at times late tomorrow with gusty winds, and blowing/drifting snow. Most of Long Island is already under a blizzard warning.

I'll be making some coffee, hot cocoa and cookies while you're doing that.

Anyways, to start a convo, hope everyone is done with their shopping. Today and tomorrow are to be the WORST  shopping days in history. My older sister slacked off all month and so I will have to go with her to the mall tonight.

I had my 9 AM interview with the NWS in Charleston, WV this morning.  I won't hear about the results until either next week or the first week of 2010.  I'm now at my dad's house for Christmas.  Hope everyone who has to travel makes it there safely!

Calm down Krishnan, I'm sorry to hear that. I can at least partially relate. Whenever something like that happens though, I would just go hang out with them.

Yeah, I agree, but it was like 7:00PM when I asked my mom I wanted to go, but I felt I didn't even get invited, but I realized later, Naked Fish was like only 5 min drive from my house, so I could've gone. So yeah, it was such a terrible thing that happened to me.

Good thing....I hate this year so much And 2010 is looking bleak for me so far :(
Same here. This year was a huge dissapointment for me. :( When it's started, I though it's was gonna be a good day, but since March, it's have went downhill. 1997-2008 were good years imo.

Here are the reasons why this year is ruined for me:
The students / boys (not my friends) at school has been bothering a lot this year, so these annoying bastards ruin this year to me. I hope they be nice at me next year, but if not, then, I will hate my life.
Eight straight months in the triple digits. God, I hate the 100s weather so much.
I'm not a fan of TWC anymore. 2003-2008 were good TWC years.

I think that's all. I hope 2010 will be a sucess year, but if the students bother me more in that year than this year, well, then, screw my life now.

Felix, you know I deal with more 100 (yet 110) degree days than you do. and trust me, it's so not pretty.  Also, if these boys still bother you, go to your peer counselor and he/she will help you out. It really works.

To be completely honest, I am starting to drift myself from TWC and just got back into my old interests. Of course I will watch TWC for one thing.  :happy:

I'll be real honest, my interest with TWC has dropped as well. I still enjoy doing the occasional emulation, but other than that TWC is dead to me.. It is a shadow of its former self. This christmas was the final straw...

Felix, take my advice, tell somebody if they're bothering you.. Take some sort of action now while you still can. Years and years of torture have caused some pretty bad things to happen with me. And I'll admit, that's the main reason why I've been absent so much for the past 5 months.

No, it always seemed like a boring special to me even when it first came on years ago. :no:

Since it's still Christmas for a few hours I thought I would post a Christmas episode I did of my scripted story and the fan fiction I did of TWC, a couple of people here have already read it, but I'm gonna edit and revise it because rereading it, it seems like there's a plot hole halfway through the story. :thinking: Anyways, if you feel like reading some of it, here you go!  :)

I'm a little too late but I wanted to wish that everyone else had a great Christmas as well! Patrick, I hope you can get the job but it seems that over and over again you keep getting turned down :( I can  pray 2010 will be a better year to the most part, so if you don't get the position by this week, you can at least get one in 2010. Keep trying as always, never give up. I'm on vacation right now so I normally am not up at 1:30 am but nevertheless I am anyways.

I also concur with everyone else above. School and people have been one of the big issues why I hated this year and it's a pity to see how the student body and schools in general have gotten downhill over the years. My TWC hobby has also died down. I would've recorded and uploaded the rest of the overnight/morning Xmas list but I didn't have the motivation or urge to so there's another consequence of what happened with TWC. 2010 will most likely bring in more bad changes for TWC so being uninterested in the network will likely be a good thing for now. 

And one last thing, does anyone know who bmcneill92 on YT is? He keeps PMing about certain users here blocking him. I could care less about the issue and I'm on the road to block him as well as it's becoming very irritating now.

My DirecTV service has been cut because we're unable to afford it. :( I am on a low speed Dial-Up connection. This means no more TWC for a while now.

Hey all--- hope you all had a great holiday!

As for my year... I've had kind of a roller-coaster of a year..mainly a good roller-coaster, and I am VERY excited for what 2010 has the potential to bring :D.

To those struggling with people in school:  DON'T TAKE THEIR SH*T.  There is no reason someone has to treat you poorly.  I frown upon people who do that.  They need to find a new hobby, other than, obviously, making other lives miserable.  I maks me so mad when people are hurting from other people being absolutley rude to others.  I want to say ignor them, but that is sometimes hard to do. I would not go as far as "telling on them", because in life, you have to solve your own problems, not someone else (unless it is a SERIOUS situation..to where the police have to get involved).  I am sorry some of you have been bullied :(.  At least you kind of have an outlet here...

I certainly can relate to the bullying problems growing up, but those are the kind of people that aren't worth your time or energy.  Focus on the people who truly care about you. :yes:  I hope 2010 goes a lot better for all of us.

2009 was a rollercoaster to me too. I've been a lot of places this year, and finally got to go to the UP after who knows how many years of wanting to do that.  I went to Houghton Lake, the thumb, Alpena, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Bay City, St Ignace, Petoskey, and Port Huron. It’s really fun for me to see the local forecast from different angles, and see all these different configurations. I figure since I am really the only TWC fan in The Wolverine State, I should help fill in the gap and record as many units as I can. It costs a lot of money to do it, which is why visits are becoming more spread out. It usually ends up being around $100, what with the hotel stay, gas, and the subway sub I always get when I am not in Lansing. :P
I miss the daze when I was able to excite people when I would go somewhere. I remember spring break back in April when I kept Patrick in suspense about going to see the Houghton Lake XL, and I had multiple people show up in my ‘special edition’ stream that nite. Back before the start of this school year, people always loved seeing recordings from these different locations. Now even my non-Lansing recordings are suffering. I honestly wish all people here would view my videos, and not feel like they have to watch and rate them. This really doesn’t feel like much of an exchange anymore.

Now onto my computer issues…
Back in February, I had to have my desktop computer reformatted for the second time, since it had multiple viruses on it (the easy tech associate found 9), and videos would not play. In June, I finally got my laptop, when I never thought I would get one, since I already have my desktop. But it was nice! I got a TV tuner working on it (after 2 weeks, since there don’t seem to be a lot of good USB TV tuners these daze). But long story short, I began having issues with it. It would overheat, freeze, and be very slow. I kept having a “plugged in, not charging” issue, where the laptop would recognize that it was plugged in, but it was still wearing down the battery (and thus, not charging it). This prevented me from recording on my tuner, as I began having issues with it when I was in St Ignace back in September. I hardly got anything when I was in Petoskey, and I only got one recording when I took it to Port Huron. I had to go back again to get recordings with my desktop, so there went my overall profit for the year from lawn mowing (the rest went to my laptop). I sent it in to HP back on the 7th of December, and it came back two hours after I left Lansing on Thursday. I got back to it, and found that HP couldn’t :censored: ing find anything wrong with it. They didn’t even fix the casing issue I also had with it.

The weather was somewhat exciting through the first half of the year, and then really became blah blah after that. We had a real big cold snap back in January, during which school was cancelled one day, and we also got the first Wind Chill Warning I could remember. In April, we got a snow, conveniently the nite I was in Houghton Lake :pinch:
Then in June, we got the first Flash Flood Warning I could remember! I got to watch the whole situation unfold with Patrick, and I called this line developing over the lake. He didn’t think it was going to develop into something serious, but I said it would :P
After finding out we would have another El Nino winter, I knew we would be in for a bad winter.

As for school, where do I even begin? Back in January, I had an issue with a freshman texting me during class. I accidentally left my phone on, and the text message notification went off while we were copying down quotes in English class. I just sat there, pretending to look at the board, with my hands shaking as I was writing. After a minute, I went up to the teacher, confessed to her that it was my phone, and she graciously allowed me to go to my locker to place it in there. I was incredibly thankful to her for that, since she could have held up the hour, and I would have been in much more trouble. The kid texted me “bird man,” which was so stupid. The summer was when things became more interesting. My civics teacher for the first semester of sophomore year last year kept insisting that I play tennis. He really wanted me to do it, and I was really skeptical about it, mainly since I had never played before. He was coaching the tennis program at Eastern High School here in Lansing, which is only a couple blocks from where I live. I came a couple times in June just to socialize. In July, I started going over there more often, and eventually Henry (the coach) just  took me over to an available court, gave me a racket, and just had me show him what I had. I was pretty good, and he really thought I had potential. With time, I slowly became more acquainted with some of the other kids there, and I got to know a couple now freshmen. One was really nice, one was not. The one that was not, a kid to which I referred as “Toll Booth” (since his last name is Booth), was quite obnoxious, and is well known for being excessively rich. He hit a couple tennis balls at another court where Henry and all hs other students were having an assembly of sorts, when I was with him. He also took my bike, and rode around them a couple times. It got to me when he pulled out his wallet and there was $60, being counted right in my face (he didn’t do that to be mean).  I also got to know another now freshman, whom I thought of as “Apple Corr” (since his last name was Corr). I also found it interesting that “the Corrs” had a song on the playlist that month. :P
I was really happy when he actually invited me to play tennis with him.
I almost got to know them, what when the tennis program ended, and the nite I stayed in Romulus got to me as not having anyone to talk to for another couple weeks. I skipped the trip to Washington DC my mom was planning. But then, things started to take a turn for the worst. A kid tricked me (long story, PM for details), and I started to get further and further behind. Right there, Mike moved in as a good friend, and someone to talk to, so I shut out my problems. Then, when he left, things turned haywire. I apologize if that offends you Mike, but I can’t keep that inside forever.

I’m probably leaving out some details, but I apologize for the long post there. A lot happened this year, lol. As you can see, it has been a rollercoaster for me too, Kyle.

Wow, seems 2009 was the only year where things actually went uphill for me. :( With the help and encouragement from Patrick and others, in the past month or two I have really improved socially and I am getting closer to being able to interact with friends outside of school, something I haven't had the power to do since before I moved in 2005. Intimidation/bulling has been minimal this year as well for a change (this was a big problem for me back in 2007 and it nearly ruined my high school experience).

But, I really hope 2010 brings better things for you guys. :yes:

For me, bullying wasn't a problem this year. The problem was being completely ignore. I couldn't help but feel as though there's something wrong with me. Plus I've been through many life changes, which in all has left me extremely depressed and feeling powerless. If you really want to know more you can PM me. But that sums up the main details in a few sentences.
I had no idea 2009 wasn't such a great year for you guys either! (except Mike lol)

I'm sorry to hear about those of you who are getting bullied in school, I was a little bit in middle school and Jr High but not much at all in HS and once you get to college it doesn't happen at all.

2009 has been kind of a mixed bag for me. I was given a full time job right around Christmas last year so it was my first year of that but with that and school I had no time to myself and quite a few of the people I work with drive me out of my mind but I guess you'd have that anywhere. My first semester at college I got a 3.5 which was awesome but I blew a class 2nd semester and ended up with a 2.5.

There is really one thing that has bothered me for a while and that's being single. I turned 20 this year and I've never had a GF, never even a real date, I had dates to both Proms in HS but they both ended up horribly. This is all not from a lack of trying either, I've asked out numerous people but I'm always turned down, I've been a member of eHarmony and Match.com but they lead me nowhere. Work is the only thing thats keeping me from getting really depressed about it, it keeps my mind on other things.

ugh, don't get me started on that guy. I kept on rejecting his friend invite until he reached the point that I had to block him. I will not unblock him for any reason unless he's a TWCT member. I only accept friend invites from people that I know.

2009 was ok... it could have been better. In terms of college I blew Beginning Algebra this semester and therefore I have to take it again in the Spring. But overall its getting better. I'm also creating a bond with my family and myself, especially reconnecting with my dad's side of the family. I saw them yesterday for Christmas and to me, it was the best Christmas ever.

I've been through some bullying only in the 6th grade. Ugh, don't get me started on this girl who got bullied by someone and then she started bullying me. Of course she wanted to fight me as well, but I took it over to the principals office.  :happy:

I hope everyone had a good holiday as well!  I finally will be making the leap from Windows XP to Windows 7 thanks to a new laptop this Christmas.  It may take me a while to get it all sorted out, so any help on working with 7 would be appreciated. :biggrin:

I certainly can relate to the bullying problems growing up, but those are the kind of people that aren't worth your time or energy.  Focus on the people who truly care about you. :yes:  I hope 2010 goes a lot better for all of us.

YAY Patrick! I hope you are enjoying your new laptop! If you need help working on it, ask me or other people here that use Windows 7. I certainly got the hang of it after a week ;)

I can tell you Kyle P that sometimes online sites never work out. My friend did that once and after a year she could not find anyone.

And that's another thing that happened in 2009. My 1-year-9-month relationship came to an end 2 weeks ago. This year wasnt too good for that.  It was his decision, not mine. But I'm ok with it, but he will regret this in the future. I will not take him back for any reason if he comes back. Therefore I quit having a relationship. It's too hard to maintain, especially with college and family. I'm with Mike on being single.

I know this is a bit off subject, but I need to post this where people would be likely to see it...

I have been pointing out some issues to Martin with uploading files to the site and redownloading some (since as some of you may know, I lost a few files a couple weeks ago (even though I got most of them back)). He tried fixing the uploading issue, but I am still having trouble. I tried it on another connection a little over a week ago, and still couldn't upload files. Here's how I would see it:

When I try to upload some files, it waits a few minutes, and then tells me "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage". I tried it on all 3 computers we have in this house, and I even tried it on another connection, and still got the same issue.

Now as for the downloading.. whether it be for videos on the forums or the videos on the pages themselves, when I would download the files, I would not get much of the file, and it would appear corrupt. In case you are wondering, I was trying my Petoskey and E.L. LAT48's #5 submissions. If anyone could please try this, it would be much appreciated. I know Martin will go ahead and ask people to try it as well.

In XP I usually have to adjust my ClearType settings because it doesn't always necessarily look the best. Fortunately Microsoft provides a PowerToy (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypePowertoy.mspx) for XP to adjust it.

But yeah, ClearType is a significant improvement from standard font smoothing. :yes:

I'm actually used to earthquakes, as a native Cali girl. It's very hard to predict though.
Yeah, I was actually asleep when the earthquake occurred, when the quake reached it's strongest peak, I literally fell off my bed. It does explain why Abby was barking a lot, and Serafina and Miki were scratching the wall continuously. Most of the picture frames all over my house fell (two of them broke, including the one that has my Stephanie Abrams autograph). There was a report of a telephone outage on the outskirts of Mexicali, Baja California, but glad crews got it back on. I was able to reach my family over there as they also had more damage than we have here.

Literally... what a way to end the year!  :thrilled:

Glad to hear you and your family are alright, Ana.  I find earthquakes very interesting.  I have only been in one.  It was one that was reported down in southern Illinois.  It had virtually no damage here, just kind of rattled the house.  Then a couple aftershocks happened when I was at school...it as odd. 

Hope you all have a GREAT New Years Eve if you celbrate it!

Here is something interesting that a friend of mine posted on facebook.

Will you say "Twenty Ten" or "Two Thousand Ten"?

For me, I can see me starting out saying Two Thousand Ten, but I think I will pretty much go with Twenty Ten

What about you?

I'm going with "Twenty Ten". Technically, the pronunciation of 2009 should be "twenty oh-nine", because years like 1909 are pronounced "nineteen-oh-nine", same goes for '10.

Twenty-ten. I already got used to saying that since November.

For whatever reason, I never pronounce the "th" in thousand there, so I would sort of say it "Two -ousan Ten". No idea why, I guess that's my way of simplifying it :P

As for the new weather pages on weather.com, I have one way to express my reactions to it:  :footinmouth:
I liked having the 3 daypart periods on there, and now there is only two. Information looks more scattered about the page, and it's even worse than the look we're used to. And I have one question... when is TWC going to realize that the new icon set is not meant to show up on a personal computer? They look cartoonized...

They used to have the web-friendly ones on there (which look better since the white edges aren't as noticeable), but they seemed to have switched back to the regular icons in some of the pages.

The only icons that animate are the ones for the current conditions, and they actually STOP animating after a few seconds. :hmm:

As many of you probably know, I went to South Haven the afternoon of New Year's and into yesterday morning. I really wanted to see a big lake effect event for myself, and see not only how it appears on the local forecast, but just see the snow myself. I was looking at going down to Benton Harbor, but decided on South Haven because I thought there would be a legacy STAR (due to the population of 5,000 there). It was incredible, I hadn't seen visibilities that low in years now. It was fun to watch the weather slowly "degrade" as the sun even in Hastings slowly got clouded over, and we ran into the snow band just a few miles from our hotel. But, the band made its way south, and hit Benton Harbor. However, it came back, and with a vengance that nite.

The next morning, I decided I wanted to go downtown and check out the shoreline, since I haven't been to Lake Michigan since July 2005. I had my sights set on seeing the South Haven pier lighthouse, but it was... well, not easy to describe. The wind was biting cold, and the walk from the road down to the pier was a lot longer than I thought it was. I only made it a third of the way before I had to turn back and borrow a pair of gloves. Then, I made it all the way down to the pier, but it felt as if I was walking into a black hole. The sky was dark, and I couldn't see much outside of the snow covered beach in front of me, and the famous lighthouse still off in the distance. There literally was a blizzard moving through, and the canal next to me was incredibly choppy. I couldn't actually go onto the pier, mainly because it was iced over, but it was really dark and scary. I probably would have lost my life trying to go down there, lol.

Please be sure to look at the pictures I'm attaching of the lighthouse and a couple more I was able to get through South Haven. Also remember, they were taken with my cell phone :P

It was that stop smoking drug Chantix, the point of those is to get the family of the deceased to sue the drug maker. I'm sure in the end the Lawyer fees are so high that it's a moot point.

My Dell laptop with Windows 7 is having serious issues with Explorer crashing every time I right click on anything once the laptop has been running for a few hours.  The Dell technician and I went through a clean install after my own efforts failed to solve anything, and the crashes still came back after I barely installed a few programs.  He suspects that the driver for my new Dell printer could be the culprit as it may not be compatible with Windows 7, so he uninstalled it today and will call me tomorrow to continue fixing my laptop.  I just hope things get worked out here as my 2010 is off to a horrible start after being turned down yet again for a NWS job and now this mess. :(

I can't wait.  AND..it is suppose to snow tomorrow, which is an awesome example of misconceptions of global warming.  My professor, for some reason, thinks school will be cancelled tomorrow, but I highly doubt it will.

Stephen is correct.  I haven't experienced any problems with Internet Explorer.  Furthermore, there's a possibility that Firefox might be causing the crashes as it was the last thing I had added to my reinstalled operating system before everything went wrong, but I won't know for sure until the Dell technician and I do more testing starting tomorrow.  The faulty printer driver is only one possibility out of several other programs that could be conflicting with my Windows Explorer.

Hi all! Long time no see! And wow has the forum changed (and grown!) since I was last here! Hope everyone's been doing well. I've been great myself. My life has changed a bit once again, and it looks like I'm gonna have some time to spend at TWCT once again!

Ah, I liked watching Jay at the 10pm slot, but I heard his show wasn't doing so well in this timeslot like it was in his old timeslot.

I bet Jay is happy (he did not even want to leave), and I bet Conan is pissed. 

I have some "TV news" of my own.  I dont know if I had mentioned this in the past, but since September of 2009, I have been trying to "get my foot in the door" with the news business.  I applied for a job, and 2 internships.  I was told I could not do the internship because my college does not do broadcasting.  A few hours ago I received an email from the sports director at a local tv station, saying he would allow me to do the internship.  So, tomorrow night I am helping out with the friday night basketball show for the NBC afilliate in my market.  I am happy, but I feel bad because I am a regular viewer of their competition ABC afilliate..but who cares.  I FINALLY have my foot in :D.

a post i found on AVS Forum

Quote
TMZ reports NBC has given Conan a choice: take the 12-1AM time slot or walk ([url]http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/08/conan-...-tonight-show/[/url] ([url]http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/08/conan-...-tonight-show/[/url])).

As TMZ first reported, after the Olympics, Jay Leno will get his 11:30 PM time period back. We're told network execs have told Conan they will let him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 AM time slot. If he does, Leno's show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full hour, informed sources tell TMZ.

Our sources say Conan has not decided what he wants. We do know he's pissed, because he was given no advanced warning this was coming. Conan's people told NBC they are considering the offer. Translation: Mr. O'Brien -- I have Rupert Murdoch on line one, Stephen McPherson on line two, John Landgraf on line three, Jeff Wachtel on line four ...

We're told if Conan gets another offer, even though NBC could block the move, they will let him go and give Leno the full hour.

Post by: wxmediafan on January 08, 2010, 07:52:37 AM
It makes absolutely NO sense to me.  A few years ago they announced Leno will be retiring, and he does not even do that.  If I were Conan, I'd be moving to another network.  Conan has worked really hard to get where he is today.  Jay Leno has already had a great career.  He should have kept the same formatting of his show, because he would likely have more ratings.

The internet is horribly slow here... was noticeably faster before the school year began  :blink:
I have trouble loading videos in the evening and mornings, and I think my internet speed is part of why I had been having trouble attaching files to TWC Today. Before I went up north and to Alpena, it only took me 3 minutes or so to upload a video. Nowadaze I usually takes 10-20 minutes, sometimes 5 if I'm lucky. Part of it could be how much data I am sending and downloading through the internet, but come on, it's Comcast Cable internet! I'm trying to convince my mom to pay for higher speeds, but that isn't turning out too well.

No, AFAIK it's not. My mom claims though that a couple who worships at the church (who live out in Grand Ledge) have Verizon FiOS phone, so I'm not sure.

Hmm, that's nowhere near enough. Is it true that filefront deletes files after so long?

Also, I have an issue when I try to type the degree symbol. You're supposed to hold down the alt key while typing 167. But, whenever I hit the 7 key, it takes me to my homepage. How can I fix this?
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on January 09, 2010, 10:38:29 AM
Unless you're willing to spend money, you probably won't be able to find a site that would keep your files forever. You'd probably have to purchase webspace or host a web server.

The shortcut for a degree is actually ALT-0176. Make sure you have the num lock on too and that you're using the numeric keypad. It won't work with the top number keys.

Carbonite and Mozy are the best unlimited backup sites I have seen. Unlimited storage at a flat price per year. They have a large customer base so they will probably be around a while. For photos Flickr Pro can't be beat.

Alt+0167 is a masculine ordinal indicator; for example, 5º in Spanish is equivalent to 5th in English. (There's also a feminine ordinal indicator - e.g. 9ª).

But laptops can be complicating with special characters - copypastecharacter.com can be helpful at times.

I have 146 4.7 GB DVDs full of TWC video. That's 686.2 GB of video. And then I have 20 VHS tapes full of TWC video. Each tape is 6 hours long, the same length of one DVD in SLP mode. So that's another 94 GB of TWC video. Total the two and you have 780.2 GB of video on removable storage (DVD and VHS).

146 DVDs x 4.7 GB = 686.2 GB
20 VHSs x 4.7 GB = 94 GB
Total = 780.2 GB

I have many many more GB of TWC video on my hard drive that I have captured with my tuner. Probably to the tune of 20 or 30 GB. So I currently have about 800 GB of video together. :blink:

146 DVDs x 4.7 GB = 686.2 GB
20 VHSs x 4.7 GB = 94 GB
Total = 780.2 GB

I have many many more GB of TWC video on my hard drive that I have captured with my tuner. Probably to the tune of 20 or 30 GB. So I currently have about 800 GB of video together. :blink:
Wow, I guess you beat me Billy :P
But then again, you do have recordings from a lot earlier of times than I do

Wow, I'm sure I have at least 500-1,000 videos (from 2002-present), yet they aren't even close to totaling 1TB of space (I don't record in the highest quality, that's why). There are a good number of clips I have yet to transfer from 6-8 hour tapes (~15 or so) to my computer, however.

Me and Dave spent a few hours this morning soldering up one of these this morning as my Christmas present, and it's awesome! I love it!

(http://static.flickr.com/2490/3853319302_60d91e1956.jpg)

It's basically a alarm clock soldering project that uses a retro Russian digital display tube (which aren't made anymore)... It's pretty awesome looking and it was fun to make :) If anyone wants more in depth details and such, http://www.ladyada.net/make/icetube/ (http://www.ladyada.net/make/icetube/) is the place to go. If you want to make one, go for it... Just know they're on back order since they no longer make the tubes (they are coming from warehouses that are emptying their supply). It's really a neat kit.

Wait, he lives in another country? I'm pretty sure he lives in New Jersey (I don't mean to sound stalker-ish.) How else does he get all the music uploaded?

On January 12 in Southwest Lower Michigan…
1/12/1912
Muskegon sets their all-time record low for the month of January at 21 degrees below zero during their coldest month on record.
1/12/1918
Record cold is experienced at Lansing with 18 degrees below zero and Grand Rapids at 14 below during one of the coldest winters on record.
1/12/2005
On January 12, 2005, dense fog blanketed lower Michigan. Numerous highway accidents near Lansing killed two people and damaged almost 200 vehicles. At least 37 people were injured. One pileup involved 50 vehicles and necessitated the closure of 12 miles of Interstate 96 between Okemos and Webberville.
I remember that incident so well... and my dad's lateness made us nervous as we knew he was heading home on I-96 from Detroit that afternoon.

I'm getting a little tired of hearing about this. I understand what Chesley Sullenberger did for his crew, and that was an incredibly admirabal action. But really? The commemorating of this for so long (the interviews, awards, etc, months after the fact) is a bit excessive.
Media has to harp on something. Yes he was a good pilot, yes what he did was great but I don't need to be reminded of it a year later.
Makes me expect that the media will announce the anniversary of the missing "balloon boy." :rolleyes:

I have a sliiiiight feeling THAT would happen. lol  :whistling: :rolleyes: :rofl:

I believe it was the father of "balloon boy" who for 10 seconds, I barely saw on The Today Show some time over break I think. Man, we get it pal, you don't think it was a hoax. You don't have to say that every other sentence. At the end of the interview, Matt Lauer tried to transition into the next segment, and he did what they always do when they're done interviewing someone on-air (So and so's name, thank you-). The guy interrupted him. I couldn't even watch that much of it, and wow, I'm glad I missed most of it.

Oh my goodness, that whole "balloon boy" story was so crazy. They had the heart of millions only to discover that nobody was ever in the balloon. I also feel bad for TWC that they covered that ALL day. I wish I missed it.

I usually end up having issues with my internet connection around once a week. Whenever I have trouble with it, I usually just reste both the router and the modem (which are both in my room, lol :P ). It happened a lot more before I switched out that old Netgear router (that we had bought in December 2005) to the Linksys one we bought in August.

...yuck. I hate it. Too difficult to navigate (especially with the climatic data and other forecast tabs that used to be so easy to find). The thing I have to say I hate the most about it (besides the animating icons) is the removal of the text based. Now I have to watch the LF to see the details, and I can't get them for other locations now unless I go to them. Now I've asked this question before... and I am going to pose it again: when is TWC going to realize these icons (animated or otherwise) are NOT meant to be on the internet?

Jesse, they don't take the opinions of the viewers into consideration at all. My views have not, nor will they, change. I am well aware that my despising of the graphics and recent changes will not bring back better times. But look at how consistent I remain with my hatred of HiRAD. It's the foundation of TWC, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. But no matter how alone I may be in my views (since there have been a few members who have changed their minds about the concept), they still stand. Point being, the site is very difficult to navigate, whether you like the appearance of it or not.

huh.....so this is a site update? it's basically the same as before, nothing to write home about. All it looks like they did was move stuff around and animate the icons (which was cheaply done, no matter how anyone feels about them) They could have had me make those rain icons for free out of something like GIMP. Also, I intially thought this update was for the entire site, not just when you enter in a city name to get forecasts. :unsure:

Anyways, I got exams next week, and while I have some difficult material, I'm glad my free daze are spread out. Each semester exam takes up 3 daze. During each day, we have an exam for one hour that takes half the day and another for the other half, all totalling 6 exams in the end. But we don't have exams for academic lab or yearbook, so Wednesday and Friday afternoons next week have nothing in them!

I also had the almanac title on 22840 lengthened to "Lansing Capital Reg. Int'l Arpt". Pretty good cloudy day, imo :P

Also, credit goes to Alex for making it easier for me to get these much needed changes made :wave:

Speaking of Los Angeles, I heard on the news earlier that an independent study rated it the worst city in terms of traffic congestion.  Is it really that bad there?

So apparently YouTube had a cow today and decided to pull one of my videos down, copyrighted by WMG. [link] (http://f.imagehost.org/0765/YTaccountwarning.jpg)

And now my account is warned. >_< What's odd is I still have a few WMG songs uploaded, some have ads and some have had the audio disabled. Wonder why they just decided to yank this particular video.  :thinking: Guess I'll just have to keep a lookout, hopefully no other video will get removed.

IMO, it is.
The freeways congest so much traffic, even in non-rush hours... especially US-101 and Interstate 5. US-101, imo, is by far the worst I've been to.

Hi guys, I'm sorry I haven't been on for awhile. I've been really busy with school work. Yet, there have also been many personal issues lately with family, but with friends I can discuss it.

On Friday night (December 11, 2009), I texted a friend what she was doing on the weekend, and she said she was hanging out with 20 of our friends (juniors from our classes) at Naked Fish for Eileen's birthday party (her birthday was on December 8). After I got the text, I felt a bit jealous, because with 20 PEOPLE?!?!?!?!? (I wouldn't bother if it was 5 people, but 20 PEOPLE?!?!?!?. That's so shady. Then I got so frikken upset that I couldn't hang out with them, and I was home for the rest of Friday and the weekend, depressed and crying, that I had no friends at all, that I wanted to go back to India or even move to Canda (either Vancouver or Toronto to see how the french and british are). After that, I felt that I never wanted to speak to them EVER again. After that, a friend of mine decided to talk to me about my problems and stuff, and I felt a LOT better by Monday.

This should be posted to the topic "No one Likes me Anymore" (Oct 2008)

The death toll from the Haiti quake has now reached 150,000. This is terrible. How did so many people die from a mag 7.3 quake? The quake was not a 9.0 and did not produce a tsunami unlike the 2004 Indian Ocean catastrophe so I would've thought the death/damage would be a bit less. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Boy, this earthquake was the last thing that nation needed. :no:

Probably because of how dense the population is in that tiny island (over 900 per square mile) and that shelter and money wasn't so good in that country to begin with.

Very sad indeed. The reason why is that the buildings in Haiti were constructed well but were not earthquake resistant. It makes me cry though to see raw video and pictures on the news.

Haiti's biggest problem is only having one airport runway, one sea port, and one road from the Dominican Republic leading into that city.  No aid is going to be moved around quickly with that kind of infrastructure.

Well, that's too bad. <_< This is certainly a TOP story and not that overcovered since it's very sad :cry: and not something dumb like Michael Jackson's death. If you're tired of hearing about it, don't watch TV or stay off the computer. ;)
I agree. My condolences go out to the families who lost their loved ones. Disrespecting something like this, is very ingrate

I have to agree...it pisses me off to see someone saying they're so tired of hearing about the earthquake. I ranted about this yesterday and I will continue to.

100% Agree. It is done and over with. And the Haiti Telethon on TWC? Really un-necessary. Another thing about TWC that is ticking me off. I mean, really, NBC news break-ins on WUWA? It's not "The News Channel", It's "The Weather Channel". TWC is really going downhill after the NBC takeover.

Once again, you people are thinking like fans and not the average viewer. TWC wouldn't be doing these things if people weren't watching. Get over yourselves already and think once and awhile.

:clap: Thank You.

I would really like to see how ratings are after the NBC takeover.  I assume they are good, or they would have already changed some things.  But, I see it as a one-stop channel for the average viewer.  You get your weather several times throughout the hour, and you get your update of all kinds of news a couple times throughout the hour. 

Do I agree with it?  Not exactly.  Am I going to sit here and contiue to complain and groan everytime TWC has a news update on there, No.  There is nothing that we can do.  If you want to do something, then simply don't watch.  If you aren't happy with what you are watching, just switch the channel :yes:  There are many many more channels for you to choose from.

As for the Hope for Haiti Now Telethon.... kudos to The Weather Channel for showing it.  I can't see why any of you would even complain about them showing it.  Have a heart, seriously.  Haiti, as mentioned before on this forum, is the poorest (or one of the poorest) country in the western hemisphere.  They seriously need this money.  The more viewers that this telethon can get, the more money that will be raised.

I agree and disagree with what you said there, Kyle. I'm well aware that ranting and complaining about the changes NBC is making to TWC and all that will not change or solve anything. I still don't know how I still hate the new icons and HiRAD... I never look directly at the icons, and I just look past the HiRAD guesses. I get the CC info I need from the NWS Grand Rapids page.

I'll tell ya, it's amazing how I just about only watch TWC for the LFs... which is why I miss a lot of Steph's humor and humor seen elsewhere. Ordinarily, whatever TWC shows or does is their own business. But when you take out the LFs, you're crossing lines. I've shut out this whole Haiti concept because I'm tired of hearing about it. Maybe I would care if it wasn't shoved down my throat. I just today learned about how the earhtquake occurred, in Earth Science class. Supposedly it was an earthquake 150 years in the making... as the Carribean plate, while subducting, locked with the plate above it. It was bound to happen.

But the problem I have here is that it is all around me... school, what news I see on TV (before turning the channel), and it is all over the internet. Nearly impossible to shut it out completely, no matter how hard I try. If Haiti really has this many problems, something should have been done long before now... it shouldn't have needed a massive earthquake to get something done about it. It's irritating how the LF ends, and TWC opens directly to the issue with Haiti... so I am forced to watch it while I once again search for my remote. I would honestly love seeing a classic blizzard rite now... not just because I am desperate for snow, but to see how TWC manages both stories.

It's more likely you'll land on a B, just a guess.

I had to take PE during second semester of my junior year...because I didn't take it sophomore year due health reasons. PE still counts as an elective course if you decide to take it again (depending on the school).

In other words, I hated PE with a passion, but it was an easy A though. :P

I'm sure many of you have me on AIM, who follow me on Twitter, and have me added on Facebook noticed that I put out a status that said I was losing interest in TWC. Well, I have many reasons for that: LF music is falling apart, I hardly post in the TWC sub-boards here, I now have friends at school, I work on other computer-related stuff, and of course: my deep interest in elevators.

I will still come here on a daily basis though, and hopefully in the future, my interest will rise again. :)

Same thing in PA, except they require health in 9th and 10th, along with PE. In 9th grade, however, a semester of swimming replaces PE.

I'm still in adaptive PE which is better than regular PE because it focuses more on physical fitness rather than sports (which I don't have interest in), the class is smaller, and the activities are less rigorous. I like it.

Wanted more, left disappointed.  As a user with an iPhone (already have the apps) and netbook (Windows and it runs everything that I need)...why would I need this?  Looking at an ebook reader (have lots of PDF computing manuals) but I'd go with a Sony device that smaller and a lot cheaper.

Post by: TWCToday on January 27, 2010, 06:18:15 PM
iPad is stupid. Its an over sized iPhone. Now there is no doubt that I LOVE my iPhone but I can not stand this new product.

1. No multitasking
2. The screen is 4:3 for christ sake! Thats going to be nice
3. No USB or any port for that matter. For something meant to be a netbook replacer that is a critical need.
4. No SMS and you are stuck with only ATT for 3G.
5. Seriously the onscreen keyboard looks horrible. That may work for a phone but not for a device meant for web browsing and typing stuff.
6. NO FLASH support!
7. No kind of camera or anything
8. Same tired "iPhone" type design

Apple cut a lot of corners to get the price of this thing down. Its a nice little device if you use it only once in a while but I can not see people using this daily and still use their iPhone/mobile phone.

But to those who complained about the name... Did you think iPod was a good name for an MP3 player when it first came out? How did that name make any sense?

But that aside I want to comment on a few things Martin said...

It's meant to be portable, and it's fine for light browsing but they are selling a keyboard dock for when you need a keyboard.

It is stupid. I won''t use any network but Verizon... and the camera is a huge feature, I mean I Skype all the time. And there's no way I would buy it since it can't even multitask.

I was really hoping the would announce a Verizon iPhone today, but that didn't happen. :(

But with everything going 16:9 it would be nice. Plus they are advertising this as a multimedia device. Yes you can use Tmobiles Edge network but you can't use their 3G. I have no AT&T 3G signal at or around my house which sucks. Would be nice to have the option at least.

Somewhere I read the iBook store was going to be in ePub format, which could lend to purchases for other devices.  Maybe.

16:9 or even 16:10 should have been used - they stressed 16:9 HD video a ton during the event today.

Is it me...or did Comcast boost up their internet speeds recently?

Here we have a 50/10 package, it's quite expensive but I love the speed, haha.


Ahh now I get it. I'm wondering about that because I've seen previous Comcast speeds that were between 10 and 20 mbps. I've never seen 50.

Since I posted my college's internet speed, here's the speed from my house.

I'm going to finish my A.S degree in journalism here at IVC, (I'm also thinking of minoring in Computer Information Systems), and if all is possible, transfer to Northern Arizona to get a B.S. in Journalism there. I still have a long way, though, as this Spring I start getting my hands-on with my major.

IMO, it is. The appearance of it is quite old, and there are nowhere near as many features as readily available or user-friendly on Firefox as there is on Internet Explorer. Plus, every time I use Firefox (usually once every month or two, when youtube is having yet another bug with IE), it makes me wait 5 minutes for another useless update.

1. You can customize the Firefox look with themes (I believe there's even an IE theme if you're drawn to that theme), something you don't have with IE. Plus you can add additional features as Add-ons.

2. IE, while it has improved in the past few years, still uses a quite inferior and out-of-date rendering engine. Browsers like Firefox have better performance and security in the long run compared to IE.

3. You are never required to install updates on Firefox. If you don't want to wait the short amount of time for the updates to install automatically (which for the most part will actually be LESS than 5 minutes), change the option to "Ask me what I want to do" in the Updates tab on the Advanced section of the Options dialog.

I have not used IE as my main browser since 2003. I switched to Netscape (version 7.x at the time) in 2003, then to Mozilla. Then I found Mozilla Firebird (version 0.6 I think) (now Firefox, obviously), and switched "on and off" between it and Mozilla. Then I used Firefox as my main browser until circa late 2005–early 2006 when I switched to Konqueror. Eventually I switched back to Firefox. At the moment I use Chromium as my main browser because Firefox on my box is slow. Also, it does this when I close it: http://omploader.org/vMzRscg (http://omploader.org/vMzRscg)

As much as I love shoveling snow, I absolutely hate shoveling wet snows less than 2 inches. They get packed down, and it's a hassle to get the snow shoveled up.

Also, I'm glad I'm in the TV Media Issues class at my school. They put out some pretty funny stuff!

I love the beginning there :P

Aaron--what exactly do you learn in your TV Media issues?
Right now, as it is only the first week in the class, we are learning about media and how it affects our lives. We're also discussing how technology has advanced, and how it could advance further. This class is the prerequisite for the advanced class, which is what people of Haslett and the E.L. see on TV. So later on, we'll be making videos with a software called Final Cut Pro (Apple's version of WMM, which is far better). It's pretty interesting, imo :yes:

Glad you brought up the concept of old games, Billy. Anyone ever hear of a game called SimTower? I used to love that game, and my brother inadvertently got me into it. It works on my desktop, which apparently has Vista 32 bit, but not on my laptop (which I know has 64 bit). I always play the game the exact same way, lol. I love though how it is like a window, and does not force you to stay in the program like most other games.

I loved all of the Sim games and Roller Coaster Tycoon games. I was addicted to SimCity 2000 back in the day, and I'll still occasionally play it.

I have SimCity 2000 (with Urban Renewal Kit), SimTower, SimIsle, SimCopter, Streets of SimCity, SimFarm, SimCity 3000, Rollercoaster Tycoon (with Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes), and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

If I know anything about the old Maxis games, Aaron, they use 16-bit installers, so they won't be able to run on Windows x64. You might be able to try to install the game on a 32-bit system, like you've already done, and copy the program files over to the 64-bit system. If that doesn't work, you can play the games in a Virtual Machine, like I do.

Wow okay, I didn't think about that. I'll give that a shot.

I remember SimCity 2000, and for some reason, it was too depressing for me to play.

While still on the subject of games, anyone heard of SimCity 4? I love that game, but haven't played that in a while now either.

I think it's safe to say Washington DC is gonna be the big winner out of this, but I'm judging some of this because of the live shots I've seen between Paul and Scott. It looks worse where Paul is than it does where Scott is.

Okay wow, I just went out to shovel off my deck (I'm not used to snow this season, so I've become lazy with shoveling). I left a pumpkin for decoration purposes on my deck a week or so before Halloween, and I was going to carve it around Halloween. But, I never got around to it and left it out there, all winter, and it's still there. When I went out my room door to my deck, I saw it and it was mushy-feeling, with what looks like fungus. Yuck!  :footinmouth:

Also, I noticed a stripe of what looks like extremely heavy snow movng through central Jersey on my sat/rad. It just went through Philadelphia a couple hours ago. I can't possibly imagine how heavy the snow is under that band...  :blink:

I called Comcast twice (the 1st time to have an automatic refresh signal sent) and scheduled a technician to come out and swap the old modem for a new one. Until then, unless I  go over to the church or use my mom's phone (like I am now), I won't be online nearly as much. Geesh, we've had that modem since we moved downtown in 2007. :pinch:

Yeah, that makes sense. My router is always quite warm, but the modem is fine. My mom was never happy to have the entire set-up in my room- modem and router- next to my desktop computer. Just figures that all I have for 3 daze is occasional access to this crappy slow T1 over here at the church, which does not load videos well, my message section on youtube, or the flash-sucking channels.

No matter how you slice it, this is just ridiculous:

Yeah, it's like the guy on the phone told me today... you get the modem out of the box, it could only last a month. You get the modem out of the box, it could last a year. You get the modem out of the box, it could last 10 years.
Some are better than others, but it partially has to do with what you use them for and how you use them.

My modem has worked well after its initial hits...I had a Linksys G router four nearly three years now and it's been a champ.  Upgraded to a D-Link N...works, but took me way too long to get the setup right so it wouldn't drop.  My next upgrade cycle will be to add Wireless N cards to my desktop and DVR, bluetooth to the DVR, and Win7 to the netbook.

Saw this about a week ago... (http://hd.engadget.com/2010/02/02/cetons-cablecard-tuner-to-work-over-the-network-too/)as a media center junkie, I love the idea of ditching the cable boxes and going with a networked system of PCs.  Distant future, though.

Not really a fan of football... so I won't be "watching"..but I will be in a room with it on in the background :P.

But, I have heard that the Colts will win, but hope the Saints will win.

Gonna fire up the bbq soon. I also hope the Saints will win as well.  :happy:

Wow guys, I sure have missed a lot even in only the past 24 hours... lots of replies to my posts here, hehe :P
It has been driving me crazy not having internet access at my house, and there was a substitute in my 4th hour class... meaning I could not watch the 10:48 AM EST LF... meaning I was even more on edge about this. With systems like these, I seem to have to have constant watch on developments. It was amazing at school today though. I have been asked countless times about my snowday predictions as to tomorrow and Wednesday. Word is getting around that we could be looking at more snow in a single storm than we have had in any storm in over 5 years! The weather was incredible today. Nice and sunny... could not possibly have asked for a better day. I'm uploading a couple clips of 22840 from today rite now. Unfortunately because of the LF sponsor and "Stone Groove" airing, I can't trim the 4:08 PM EST LF, which was when the Winter Storm Warning crawl appeared. Look for some clips from this event over the next couple of daze, and I'm giving thought to recording clips of 22842 with the new camera I got for Christmas.

Also, the new internet modem comes tomorrow, so I hope this is the last time I have to come over to my mom's office to use the excruciatingly slow internet.

I didn't think it was possible here, but school was called off early for tomorrow! And the snow keeps coming down at a good rate. Haven't been able to keep up with shoveling, as I only got 1/3 of the job done the 4th time I went out to shovel this evening, in only 90 minutes time. It's nice to see this kind of snow, it really is.

I shoveled yesterday, then another inch fell overnight, on top of the 5-6" we got yesterday. Schools were closed yesterday and today, maybe even tomorrow.

Be sure to check in the Dallas/Fort Worth weather thread tomorrow for more info. :thumbsup: Yes, Patrick, this has definetely been an unusual winter for DFW. :yes:

Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: phw115wvwx on February 12, 2010, 01:24:23 PM
The opening ceremony lasts from 7:30 PM to midnight according to NBC's schedule, so I don't think TWC would do a full simulcast.  However, an opening ceremony itself is quite interesting to watch as the host country gets to show to the world their unique culture and taste, and you get to see the "parade of the nations".  I usually tune in during the last couple hours to catch the better parts, including the lighting of the Olympic flame.

Did you try redeeming your card at a different time of the day?  They may have a server specifically handling those gift card requests that was swamped when you tried it out.

I'm not sure if you would get that audio if you stop paying the $10.  I'd ask your cable company that question.  A few others here who work with tuners could possibly help you.

The TV tuner is not the issue... my desktop's TV tuner is great, and I got a steal for it. I use it to get all my high quality TWC clips, record DVDs onto my computer, and it also works great with HD signals. I just don't understand why I would have to add $10 onto our monthly bill when I can at least hear the audio already (I may have not mentioned I don't have HD service yet).

Try it out for a long while just like you have it to see how it works.  If it eventually doesn't work, then you know that you need to get the HD service.  Experimentation is a great thing. :happy:

I don't know why, but I've always heard a lot of complaints about WinTV for some reason.  Hopefully, someone else here will be able to answer you, Alex.  I've never used WinTV, but I do wonder if you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit application as you mentioned that you have the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

The fact that it's a single core processor of only 1.6 GHz, that may be the reason. There's plenty of RAM in there (my desktop with only 2 GB handles the tuner well). How old is your Acer?

Stephen Arnold Music has two versions of that track. One that is just a standard production piece (the one used in that WTAE promo), the other one is the TWC version that has the TWC signature chime in it.

Most Stephen Arnold Music is available to news stations across the country and many use versions of his work. You hear the same audio packages on news stations across the country...same situation.

I am not sure what you mean. Simply put a $400 is not designed to do video processing. They sell computers like that because some people don't need $1000 worth of equipment for word processing and web browsing. I think you are just asking too much of the system. Its not a problem with WinTV, the brand, processor. Look for a computer with a better processor. For using a tuner a laptop $500 or above really would be ideal and even that could be pushing it a little

Not to be rude, but I'm pretty sure that many members here have a life outside of TWCT and the internet. :yes: People have their busy times, and because of this, TWCT has always had its active and not-so-active times. This is obviously a not-so-active time. ;)

I would only be concered if posting is not raised for over a month or so. Otherwise, let's be patient as this limited posting time hopefully goes away. ;)

Patrick, part of the issue for me is clips up on the main site. I have pointed out a number of videos that need to be put back up (as they have errors right now), and I have also submitted over a dozen clips in recent months, none of which have been put up on the site. I'm trying to be patient and not pester anyone about it, but my patience is running out.

Jesse, I think this is more evidence that we might want to think about expanding parts of the forum if TWC isn't really doing anything noteworthy.  I don't know what yet, but I'm sure we can toss around a few ideas.  Everyone's probably taking a long break like you said.

Andy, I'm well aware of that fact.  I'm just trying to help alleviate things if possible and let you all know that I'm here for you guys if you need it.  Seeing all the drama this past week made me really concerned as I hate to see fellow friends so upset at each other.

Aaron, someone will tend to those video clips soon.  I know the other admins are aware about them, and they'll try to get to them eventually when they have more free time.

I don't believe that much drama really did occur. Sorta a one time event in my view but time shall tell. As I have said before activity is low because of a general lack of interest in TWC and most people are busy. I firmly believe with upcoming changes we will see a bump in activity.

lol, thanks to Mike's inclusion of a two second clip of a Wawa ad in one of his TWC clips, I decided to check out the company, for some reason. Not a lot of commercials uploaded, but they certainly are known in the mid-Atlantic. Here's the only ad I have found so far:

Wawa - "Start Your Day On A Roll" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGT8XDrpM9o#)

While it is nowhere near as excessively placed here, Tim Hortons is like the Wawa here. It was actually a Canadian company, which first expanded into Michigan. Lansing has a lot of vacated property around the area, and Tim Hortons has bought up much of that. There are several locations around here, lol. I've only gone into one once, for an Iced Coffee that tasted so bad, I may be off the stuff for life :P

Wow, I just spent 3 hours outside shoveling, and went over some of the same areas twice. I must say I am impressed that the road crews are actually utilizing the plows instead of just salting on the snow or driving by. A set of plows came down Pennsylvania twice, and I had to shovel the thick, heavy snow twice. Not to mention this is a very moisture laden snow, and it is that much harder to shovel in the end.
It certainly is nice to see this snow, and before Patrick brought the concept of another snow to me in a PM on youtube Saturday morning, I had no idea this snow would happen. We may float on average snow this winter (54.5 inches), which I suppose does not give me all that much ground to complain. Just remember, 72 inches, which is the amount Mike said Philadelphia has had this winter, is a banner winter for us here.

Speaking of emulations, what is with the big focus on Teterboro NJ? There are like a dozen XL emulations for that city.

So I'm working on a "Sun Project" for Earth Science. How this works is that all 4 Earth Science classes are taking pictures of either the sunrise or sunset (most, myself included, are doing the sunset). We need to take the picture in the exact same spot every time, and we generally want to do this every 4 daze. However, because Michigan weather is not cooperating with us, we have not had many opportunities to work on the project. The only times that the weather has cooperated with us was 2/9 and 2/19. The sun came out this afternoon, but because of solid overcast to the west, the sun was obscured as it set.

Because I live downtown, homes are closer together, so it's impossible to do it out on my deck. However, being downtown gives me an advantage to have access to taller buildings. As such, I am able to walk to Sparrow Hospital, and use the Lansing skyline from the 6th (top) floor of the parking garage as the backdrop for my project.

Tell me what you think of some of these pictures :wave:

Now, notice how this leaning edge of clouds also can be closely noticed on my sat/rad:

I'm dealing with sort of a dilemma here. I believe, as the sun becomes more overhead, it will move to the right (north) in the pictures, right? I want to have Eckert Power Plant (which is where my power comes from, lol) on the far left as a delineating landmark, but I am concerned that the sun will go out of the picture in future times. Thoughts?

Anyways, that Power Plant also had two of its cooling towers damaged (one destroyed) back in June 2008 when the tornado on which a warning was issued in this video
Local Forecast with Tornado Warning- June 8, 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tyuYnG3KMo#)
came by there.

You can see the Michigan State Capitol toward the rite on the pictures there. Sorry about their size, lol.

The pictures look fine, but they are really big on here.  As a tip for you, try either providing links to the pictures rather than showing the images themselves in the post, or compress down the images for us to view them better in the future.  Yes, the Sun will slowly appear to rise and set more northward with each passing day until the Summer Solstice.

So should I use the scene with the Power Plant in it or the other snapshot with just the Lansing skyline?

Unless you feel like taking a panoramic shot of the whole skyline to include the power plant every time, you'll need to stick with the Lansing skyline as it's further to the north (right in your pictures).

I have agreements with a couple of my teachers at school to let me watch a couple LFs. Right before 4th hour, my 4th hour teacher allows me to walk in the room and turn on the TV for the 10:48 AM ET LF. My 6th hour teacher also allows me to watch the 1:58 PM ET LF (hence my signature) during 6th hour. The school happens to have cable. Not that big of a deal... and people want to know the weather as well.

Yeah, most schools have cable  (my elementary, middle, and both high schools all had it, and it was only used for educational purposes). I'm not refuting that. What I'm saying is that teachers letting you watch TV is a little ridiculous.  You're in school to learn, not to watch TV, even if it is the weather. You want to know the weather? Watch it in the morning before you leave for school.

Interesting, Jonny. A friend of mine (who made my avatar pic), knows CSS sprites as well. she says it's very hard but she's used to it.

btw, I'm getting tired of the rain. To be honest I enjoyed the 80 degree temps last week that got me to wear shorts and flip-flops all week to school. It's gonna rain tomorrow, and I wont be able to take my niece to a concert :(

I'm used to it and can deal with El Nino over La Nina. I rather have buckets of rain and snow than to go another 3 years dry as a bone desperately waiting for some kind of precip to fall on us, but that's just me. Georgia, Alabama and Florida are already in a water war because of what the previous La Nina did to our region.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: wxntrafficfan on February 26, 2010, 07:24:10 PM
We all get affected by El Nino and La Nina differently. For me, La Nina is actually a good thing. Our last El Nino winter, 2006-2007, was by far THE most miserable winter I have ever been through. It was incredibly mild, our highest snow total was about 4 inches, and just about every shot of snow we had turned into a bust. The next winter, 2007-2008, was one of the best I had had in years. And that was a La Nina winter. We got bombarded by storm after storm after storm. Numerous events, including our first white New Year's since the turn of the millennium. While the 69.5 inches of snow we ended up with that season is not the highest snow total we have ever seen here in Lansing, it was definitely a banner winter. The Grand Rapids area closed that winter with near 100 inch snow totals. The second I found out that this winter was going to be an El Nino winter (back in August), my mood started to fade, and the color drained right out of me. This winter has had several lates for me... namely our first snow guess not being until 12/3, and our first big snow being in the second week of February.

Point being, we all get affected differently.

I'm really taking an active interest in being on TV production next year (which is what viewers of the E.L. and Haslett see on TV every Friday), as weather geek sounds neato to me :P
We just started using the cameras yesterday in TV Media Issues, and this was a new experience for me this evening... taking direction from the director in the control booth, and maneuvering the camera. It was definitely something you need to be awake for and concentrating on...

Nice, my VCR won't let me program the correct date. It won't let me enter a two-digit year starting with a "1." So instead of entering 2010, I had to enter in 1999 for the dates to align properly with this year.

Edit: and now the VCR won't even let me read a tape. I put a tape in, and the VCR makes an unusual noise, and then it shuts off. The number "4" is lit up and blinking on the display.

Edit 2: Fixed the VCR. I dropped it a few times from about a foot onto carpet. I guess something was knocked out place a few months ago when I was reorganizing my bookcase, and I just knocked it back into place. Don't you just love mechanical recording technology?!

Edit 2: Fixed the VCR. I dropped it a few times from about a foot onto carpet. I guess something was knocked out place a few months ago when I was reorganizing my bookcase, and I just knocked it back into place. Don't you just love mechanical recording technology?!
LOL, you fixed the VCR by just dropping the thing?
Yep.  :yes:

That happened to my IntelliStar last July when it rebooted after it being down for like a day (but I received a different STAR instead of the satellite feed). It took about 12 hours after my STAR rebooted until they finally appeared, so give it some time.

BTW, I have a video of what he's seeing:

Today, schools in most states are protesting against the huge budget cuts on education. California being the hardest hit iirc. I was assigned to cover this story but I came in unprepared.  :pinch: I didn't hear about this till when I dropped off my little sister to her school and some protester gave me a flyer (and a t-shirt but I didnt want the t-shirt :P). IVC is doing the same.

I have to write a 300 word story on this protest. with some statistics, a couple quotes, I'll be able to turn this in by Midnight tomorrow night. I wish I had my camera, though, makes things much easier.  :pinch:

Why don't they use the money for the flyers and tshirts for something more productive. Its just my opinion but states have to cut money somewhere, especially CA. Health and eduction are huge drains and somewhere cuts have to be made. People aren't happy about it but neither are they happy about higher tax rates. Its a loose loose situation but a necessary one.

At least Ana's state isn't as desperate as the city of Philadelphia is where they want to charge a two cent per ounce tax on sugary drinks (including chocolate milk) and charge for trash pick up per bag... If the proposal were to be signed in to law, it would be an extra quarter for a can of soda or an extra $1.35 for a two liter bottle of soda. Good thing I don't live in Philly!

I neglected to mention, there would be no tax on DIET drinks like diet sodas. As I said, this proposal hasn't been voted on, but based on the fact Philly is in deep shit, it wouldn't surprise me if it were passed. They'll be going to NJ for soda. lol.... Good thing I live in NJ!

16 times a day? :blink:
What on earth is she using it for that many times a day for?
Isn't it a shortcut instead of using the dryer? j/k :P

God knows. I can't use the slingbox/Internet because it goes out every friggin time she turns on the microwave. She eats too much and has to heat 4-5 different dishes in the microwave for each meal. I warned her that it is probably not a good idea but obviously she doesn't care. :no: Whatever happened to freshness? :rolleyes: Because of our family's overuse of microwaves (which I don't like because microwave heated food tastes like crap), we had to get our 3rd new microwave in 2 years last month.

Well its not unsafe but its not healthy either (Food wise) My family stopped having traditional meals when my Dad passed so I have been a microwave junkie too much :P Still thats excessive eating for 4-5 dishes per meal for one person. Hope its something at least somewhat healthy

I use microwaves a lot as I normally don't have the time and energy to cook after school or work, but the most I've ever used it in a day was four times.  I help cook when it comes to holidays and family gatherings.  I just never get really motivated when I'm only serving myself. :hmm:  However, I've actually lost weight in the past year just because I haven't eaten as much due to all the stress over finding a job and battling loneliness, which is one of the major reasons I even decided to join here.

I only use the microwave for those frozen dinners, which I really like since they are plenty enough for a meal and yet are portioned. However, I don't end up using the microwave either. Ever since I got braces in June 2007, I've gotten used to not having popcorn or really hard candy. I can't imagine I've had popcorn more than 4 or 5 times since then.

Go buy a sandwich maker or waffle iron and do some Google searches for recipes.  One of the best purchases I ever made.

I use a microwave only for reheating (maybe twice a week at most).

I use a microwave almost every day '(only a couple times, not 16).  I almost have too.  I don't normally have time to cook a meal in the oven or on the stove, so I  always have to heat something up.  I don't mind microwave food at all.

lol it is the complete opposite here. The MME (as we all refer to it) is only for the juniors, so life was actually better freshman and sophomore year. Freshmen and sophomores only have a half day on Wednesday and Thursday. The juniors take the ACT on Tuesday (takes the entire school day), and spend half the day Wednesday and Thursday testing (the other half is for the school day). Seniors at my school are supposed to do a job shadow all day Tuesday and for the first half of the day on Wednesday and Thursday. I hate how this test is in March- because it looms over my head all year and actually puts the movement of time on a "conveyor belt" of sorts.

The only thing I get at Starbucks is their pumpkin spice latte in the fall. Their coffee is way too expensive to get everyday. Wawa and Dunkin Donuts makes coffee just as great for less than $1.50, although I usually make my own.

I am a huge coffee fan!  I love Folders coffee when I wake up in the morning.  Add a little Italian Creme creamer and I am good to go (I also don't mind french vanilla.)  I like Starbucks, just not the prices  <_<  Dunkin Donuts' coffee is also great.. I go there at least a couple of times a month to get coffee.  Mill City coffee (I am pretty sure it is just local) is good too. 

McDonalds' coffee..no thanks.  A couple times I have gone and got some coffee, and it was really watered down and tasted gross.

Yep sure did, and Carl Edwards ended up not finishing because of that. Fortunately it didn't seem as bad as the crash between those two drivers last year at Talladega (the catch fence in front of the stand barely held on when Edwards' car flew into it). Seems a lot of people are rooting against Carl right now...

Well, personally, I fele no one should be exempt, unless you are mentally disabled, or have a physical ailment (i.e. you're blind). For example, in PA, you can be exempt from the PSSA's if your parents simply don't want you to take it. As long as every other student is required to take state tests, everyone, no matter what, should take it.

I fall in to your category, and interestingly enough, I wasn't eligible for exemption, but I was eligible for extra time (no time limit). I barely passed the Language Arts section but I aced the math part with an above average score. Go figure. You should go and take it at least once to see how you would do, even if the score won't count.

I passed math last year, but failed the english portion with a 191 out of 300. They told me I didn't have to take it again because of a condition I have that causes me to have a weakness in the subject (and the testing itself).

I'm pretty sure they are referring to that, Derek. CA doesn't have them till late April-early May.
Right now it's the CAHSEE (CA High School Exit Exam). Man, that test was a pain in the  :censored:.
Ohh, is it the exit exam then?? I remember the CAHSEE. I didn't think it was thaaaaaaat bad. I did really well on that. Now I've got lots of nasty tests coming up. I got the SAT this Saturday, ACT next month, the subject tests next month, and the AP exams.

Back in 2007 TWC and Dish Network sponsored a car in the NASCAR Busch (now called Nationwide) Series. The #26 car was driven by Todd Kleuver and raced at Chicagoland Speedway in July 2007.

This is the first real NASCAR paint scheme that I've tried to recreate for NR2003. I still need to add all of the associate and contingency sponsor decals.

To me, it was pretty bad. Had to go to summer school two times because I could not pass the math portion. I did really well on English, though.  I finally passed it before entering senior year.

I wish you luck on the SAT ths weekend. :)

AP exams.... now those are hard. I never worried about standardized testing. Always found them way too easy. Not looking forward to my AP Language exam in particular out of my other AP classes. Not difficult just loooong and lots of writing.

Haha, same here. GPA would head south if I were to take an AP course or exam. However, you don't have to be taking an AP class to take an AP exam at my school... but why would I want to pay the $120?

Yes but when you're like me and have learning disabilities, there's no way you can keep up with the pace. That's why there's community college when you're not ready to move to a four-year college.

Anyway, we've had so many snow days (5) this year, the district made their decision today to shorten our 10-day spring break (April 2nd-11th) to just four days (April 2nd-5th). As much as I think having a week off from school just eight weeks before summer is ridiculous, I won't be surprised if half the school is going to be absent that week, as I know a lot of people who have plans to go on vacation that week (you can get excused absences if you send a parental note saying you're going on vacation that week). Also, if we get another snow day this year, the seniors have to go to school on SATURDAY June 19th for their last day (I'm assuming they graduate that same day as well), while the rest of us have our last day on Monday, June 21st. Pretty strange, huh?

I was lucky as my high school didn't even offer AP courses when I was a student, but a local college offered college-level English and History classes for seniors where the professors came to the school and taught.  I had two semesters of English and History during my senior year, which gave me 12 credits under my belt before I even started college.

It all depends on your own situation for deciding to pursue AP and college classes before you leave high school.  If you're going to a community college, then you probably don't need them as you'll use the two years to build up everything.  However, I would recommend getting something if you're heading straight to a four-year college as every little bit helps.

I took a grand total on one AP class in High School: AP U.S. Government as a senior. I didn't get college credit for it though, because I didn't score high enough on the AP test at the end of the year. :pinch:

I don't like that statement.  Community college is certainly NOT there for people who "aren't ready" to move on to a 4 year university.  I know PLENTLY of people who took AP classes in high school that are at a community college.  Everyone has their own reason for going to a community college.

For once, I actually agree with him. There are plenty reasons for going to community college... community college is for those who don't want to, can't afford to more away to school for their first year. Or for those who just want to save money by taking general classes at community college.

I would expect probably a 20 or so. The English and Math sections were nowhere near as brutal as I thought they would be, but the science and reading comprehension sections were moreso than even I had expected. As for the writing, I couldn't even think of enough to say to fill the first page. But thanks for asking :)

You can always take the ACT again if you want to improve your score.  Only your highest score on the ACT (and also true for the SAT) is what counts to a college that is looking over your application.

I know, but the ACT was included for free as a required part of the MME. I have better uses for $45, but I will consider that option if I don't like the scores I receive in about 2 months.

The most important part of your college application is not your ACT or SAT scores but rather your cumulative high school GPA.  Make sure that is going well first and foremost before worrying about your ACT or SAT scores.  Hope you did well though today!

AP US was quite hard! Ive taken a total of 9 AP classes including this year. I took it because the courses interested me and it looked good for college. Those of you who don't test well actually wouldn't have it that bad. Testing isn't too large a part of your grade. Teachers work with the students too which is great.

I thought it was just a plain cold. Right now, I am still the same, just that tomorrow (the day I present my graphic design logo) I will need to bundle up tight since it will be very windy.

Doctor said pharyngitis (sp?), a form of the sore throat. it's accompained by cough and high fever. Doctor said I should take today off as well, but I can't. I have to present my logo project today at school, and make up a quiz I missed yesterday. So, I'm putting back school on my to-do list instead of staying in bed.
Of course my mom did the right thing.  :happy:, thanks again Patrick.

In a little over an hour, I'll be tweaking the time settings on the forum to fix a couple time issues to get everything ready for daylight saving time.  I just wanted to alert everyone here so that you all don't think something broke when you see the times suddenly change.  You'll need to make an adjustment in your profile settings when I'm done.  All details can be found here:

Okay, sounds good. I think for obvious reasons though, I will not be logging in here much. My only real activity the past 24 hours has just been looking through old posts from 2007 and 2008. Does anyone still have copies of the lists from 2007? They've all become corrupt. I want to reply to some of the topics, but I really shouldn't bump age old topics for menial little things like that.

I'm really taking an active interest in being on TV production next year (which is what viewers of the E.L. and Haslett see on TV every Friday), as weather geek sounds neato to me :P
We just started using the cameras yesterday in TV Media Issues, and this was a new experience for me this evening... taking direction from the director in the control booth, and maneuvering the camera. It was definitely something you need to be awake for and concentrating on...
What channel? XD Is this on my cable system as well? 0_o If so, i'll tune in.

You'll know it's nearby when the lightning makes a cracking noise before thunder (instead of just thunder), AND when you want to hide when you hear the cracking noise, AND your router dies. :P Been there, done that.

Ironically, that was exactly what happened. I heard some loud crackles then a huge boom of thunder. My electricity went out for over an hour this morning because of this. Certainly wasn't expecting thunderstorms since I thought the temps were too cold outside.

I know why you got the thunderstorms.  There's a big upper-level low sitting almost directly over you, which means the air is really cooling aloft.  Cooling the air aloft is just as effective as heating the surface to get the instability for thunderstorms to develop.  You also got a big dose of vorticity (rotation) increasing over you from that upper-level low, which helps in forcing the air to rise even if it's not so warm at the surface.

Not in a happy mood right now. :( Some stupid son of a :censored: got mad at me right now (because I was hiding something) and decides to tell my mom (BOO! I HATE MY MOM!) and I didn't do any thing. Then, I starts crying uncontrollably. I hate that pr*** who told my mom. He deserved to burn in hell. :thumbdown: :hammer: :angry: If he ruins spring break one more time, this year will fail and I will hate my life. March seems to be a mediocre/abysmal month to me now because last year of March, it's went downhill (especially when TWC began unwatchable). P.S. I hate babies so much. And I don't like it when someone is gonna tell someone just because I didn't DO ANYTHING WRONG!!  *shakes himself angrily*:thumbdown:

Woah, Felix, calm down. I'm sorry to hear that all this BS is going on around you. I understand your mom is giving you a hard time, because unfortunately you're "in that stage in life". Besides, don't blame everything on your mom. She doesn't deserve it. The one guy who told on her does (not sure if he's a rival of yours).

And babies? Don't be so hard on them. Remember, you were once a baby too, in fact, we all were young.

Today in my Climate and Society class, we watched an old Forecast Earth episode about Heat Waves that was narrated by Nick Walker. My professor (or someone) recorded it from TV, because the IntelliStar LDL was present. The date on the LDL was Wednesday, April 20, (2005), and it was recorded at 9:00pm (I never realized they ever showed Forecast Earth on weeknights back then). While the CC site on the LDL was Lancaster, this was a different unit than the one I've seen in Lancaster (22601). The STAR ID was 23266, and the forecast location was Ephrata. I have no idea which cable company owns this unit, or if it's still in service.

That's great! I hope it goes well for you. This week I've been presenting the weather to everyone for the morning announcements, and regularly take part in the TV studio every morning by helping my friend get the weather graphics ready.

Thanks, and I figured you would have fun on your end too. I've been talking to a member of the Vision staff, and my chances are pretty good. I turned in my application quite early along with 3 letters of recommendation. I've also done 2 remote shoots (as I've mentioned earlier in this thread).

Wow, it seems harder to apply to take a TV tech course or volunteer to get a position at your school. For me, I just asked the TV tech teacher if I could do the weather, and he just said yes. :blink:

I will hopefully be taking Communication Tech 1 next year, but I know those classes fill up quick (I'm pretty sure they enroll seniors first though, then work their way down). It will be a nice jump start for me to enter the broadcasting industry.

Today was a busy day in Lansing. While I was at school, a shooter broke out shooting a person in their car on Walsh Street (a few blocks south of I-496). They then began a car chase, which ended a couple blocks from my house, at Eastern High School. The shooting victim crashed into a parked SUV next to the high school. Fortunately, while there were people in that SUV, none of them were severely injured and were taken a few feet to Sparrow Hospital. ALL of this is familiar scenery to me, especially at Eastern.

I'm happy to say I have my desktop computer back up and running :dance:, and I like it more now. Not only is it faster...it is on XP Pro. That seems to take up a LOT less space than XP Home Edition, but then again...this computer is brand-new and has NO software on it that I haven't downloaded (Firefox and Paint.NET so far, Inkscape soon). Now I should be a bit more active and I might be able to eventually get the LAT48s video on here.

Not any huge deal, but yeah, we are in for a few flakes (mostly tomorrow nite here). Lansing's monthly snowfall average for March is 8.5"... and I don't believe that has been reached since 2002. Ah well, hopefully we get that last bang of the year like we always do in April.

Anyways, today, after looking it up, I discovered I have a condition called Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). For the past couple of months, I've been noticing how occasionally when I yawn, my jaw pops right below my left ear, and it then becomes incredibly hot and inflamed below my ear for a few seconds. It's irritating, lol.

Also on the subject of today, Earth Science was a bit fun. We did a "sun poll" as a class activity. Basically our teacher allowed us all to pull out our cell phones for it. How it works is that there is a powerpoint that she downloaded, which connects to the internet. As we get to a slide, a question is asked. We text a code to the number. As the text is sent, it automatically appears live on the powerpoint. It was really fun, and imo, that is the kind of effective review I would love to see other teachers take note of.

I have no idea where to put this, I don't think it counts as an actual discovery but for me it's highly special.

I went to my sister's apartment in Holtville and stayed there for the day. She has cable so once I heard, I realized that i was able to see if the Valley has an intellistar. And it does!!!! I even bought my camera to record two of the IS flavors, and part of the new LDL. I'm also thinking of contributing these to here, and be able to provide IS information. Now I know that EC has a STAR, and my wish to see it in person has come true. :happy:

Actually, just drinking diet soda almost has the same effect as you're taking away a bunch of calories.  Ana is right though that water and juice are more helpful to your health, and it's something I could do better as well.
Thats an interesting point. Ive read several studies that question how effective diet drinks are. Seems artificial sweeteners could do more harm than good in certain people.

at 3:30AM - SURPRISE. the fire alarms in my dorm started blaring. the 500+ residence, alongside myself, were pretty pissed. :club: we still have no word on who caused it to go off, maybe it's better that way  :P

the situation took about 30 minutes, I came back to my room around 4 and I couldn't fall back to sleep. lol, eh oh well.
That happened to me one semester at 7 AM during finals week.  It woke everyone up who wasn't awake and caught others who were taking a shower or halfway dressed.  You can imagine how upset my dorm became, and the campus policeman who responded was pretty mad.  I guess it's inevitable that you have to face a fire alarm at the worst times in college if you live in a dorm.

Do they still call them dorms where you go to school? Everywhere around here, my school included, now calls them residential suites.

Anyway, I have a similar story from last year. Back in February, I went out with friends on a cold snowy night (you know, to go study and drink apple juice at one of their apartments :P). I came back to my room around 2am pretty under the influence of apple juice and went directly to bed. Meanwhile, it was still snowing pretty heavily (we about an inch per hour). Next thing I know, I wake up at 3:30 to the fire alarm going off (man, you'd be surprised how damn loud these new fire systems are!), assume it was a real fire because I saw what appeared to be smoke in the hall, and didn't even wait to put shoes on (forgot it was snowing!) and bolted for the steps. So here I am standing in the unplowed, snow-covered street (had about 3 inches on it FML) in bare feet, a t-shirt, and shorts. After University Police arrived and got everyone out, and SRFD arrived and cleared the building, two hours had passed.

As it turns out, someone IDIOT came back drunk and decided it would be a great idea to play with the fire extinguisher (the white smoke I saw in the hall), and when you remove the extinguisher from the box the fire alarm is automatically triggered. Worst dorm, erh residential suite experience ever.

yeah, they're still called dorms here...though most of the on-campus resident halls are being converted to suites. (I happen to live in one this year)

All of our newest dorms have private suites for 2-4 people. They're taring down the last remaining 10-Story traditional dormitory next fall, and another suite "Plaza Verde" (cool name, i thought =p) will stand in it's path.

Allergies are not just for spring.  You have to deal with trees blooming in the spring, grass constantly blooming through summer, and ragweed during the fall.  There are allergies pretty much all through the warm season.  Unfortunately, the hot and dry weather in the East doesn't help to wash out all the stuff in the air.  Allergy trouble is usually magnified during a drought, especially if a high pressure sits over you for days and doesn't allow much wind to disperse everything.

Well, three weeks in to the new season, they finally made it to the "classic" millionaire portion of the game on Who Wants to Be a Millioniare?. They do get progressively harder, yes. If you choose to walk on the first question, you keep your "bank." If you miss the question at any time in classic millionaire, you walk away with $25k, like in classic millionaire. Sadly, it's not the old music. It's 100% gone. :(

Question:

Has anyone ever had a problem with their bank where you make a transaction using your checking account (debit card), and the day after you make the transaction the money is credited back to your checkings? (never charged for that particular transaction).

I seem to be having that issue with my bank and now it's causing a whole bunch of problems because I'm not sure if that money is still there, or if it has actually went through...I have bills to pay, and if I don't know how much i have left, i'm not sure how much of my bills I can pay. my method is to use online banking, that way I don't have to write down all my transactions in a check book. it looks like I may now have to use the checkbook method until I figure out what's going on.

I've called my bank and they basically told me that if the vendor attempted to pull the transaction once and failed to do so, they won't get the transaction money.

Sufficient funds were available at the time of the transactions, and these transactions took place over a week ago, which is more than enough time for it to process.

I seem to be having that issue with my bank and now it's causing a whole bunch of problems because I'm not sure if that money is still there, or if it has actually went through...I have bills to pay, and if I don't know how much i have left, i'm not sure how much of my bills I can pay. my method is to use online banking, that way I don't have to write down all my transactions in a check book. it looks like I may now have to use the checkbook method until I figure out what's going on.

I've called my bank and they basically told me that if the vendor attempted to pull the transaction once and failed to do so, they won't get the transaction money.

Sufficient funds were available at the time of the transactions, and these transactions took place over a week ago, which is more than enough time for it to process.
ohh I had a similar problem. I purchased a new bike the other week. After I made the purchase it was pending then the next day there was no trace of it. About a week later it appeared and my money was finally taken out.  I would just treat the money like it was gone.

I'm guessing that there isn't any severe weather happening in the US. So Dr. Forbes gave my area a TORCON index of 1/10, because of the possibility of "severe weather" in EC. Niiiiice.  :rolleyes:

I'm sure that's pretty good although I'd rather have the real pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top if given a choice.

You're right it is, the only thing special about it is that today is the 10th month on the 10th day of the 10th year of the century or "10/10/10" like 7/7/07 it's considered lucky. WV did a whole segment on this day today relating to couples getting married today.

I remember that day too! I was in 5th grade at the time, and the boys were saying the same thing and I was arguing with them! :lol:

Unfortunately, I talked to a friend about that, and she said that on that day, one of her friends was planning to commit suicide, but she then convinced that person not to.

June 6, 2006 was the first day I remember that had all 3 parts of the date the same.

If I were to look worldwide and put all the holidays and observances into one calendar, I have a feeling that every single day would get marked with something.  There would probably be at least two observances in each week or month that cover the appropriate time period.  In my opinion, it's best to just appreciate each day we have in life rather than force every observance possible to make us aware that each day is special for a reason.

Wow todays PSAT test had a reference to Thelonious Monk which is playing on the overnight slot and daytime slot (2 different cuts) :blink:
Ironically enough, there was a reference on last month's ACT too about Stanley Clarke (another TWC artist). If only tests were to cater TWC fans more often like that :P

I just started wondering about this when I was heading home: can anyone tell me what's the price for iMac Snow Leopard OS? One of my buddies from Graphic Design class just bought a Mac with Snow Leopard, so I asked him about the price, and he didn't know. He heard that it's a lot cheaper than Windows.

Also, (not sure if I mention this before) when I was at a Mexicali Pawn Shop on Sunday, I saw a used iMac in perfect condition. Layaway price is $50, but you can buy it in full at $500. I find that a really good price tbh.

Snow Leopard is $29 for an upgrade from Leopard. If you're upgrading from Tiger, then you have to buy the Mac Box Set, which is $129, but it also includes iLife and iWork. I've heard that the Leopard upgrade will work with Tiger.

I can't wait for Halloween. I'm not sure what to dress up for yet, but if I were to make a fast costume, I may end up being a Meganium. If I go for last minute costume shopping, I may end up being a Roman Empress.

Or, maybe... Lady Gaga

I'm more looking forward to the candy than the whole costume thing. Still I have to take my sister trick-or-treating... which I hate. lol

I think this is kinda neat. A local restaurant chain, Eat 'n Park, has been taking steps to go green for years now, with a lot of it's tables and such in new restaurants being built from recycled materials. But now, they are installing a wind turbine on their new Fox Chapel location. As someone who works in a large chain restaurant, we waste a LOT. All of our food is portioned in the mornings in plastic bags, used once, and thrown away. We don't recycle anything... all of our beer bottles (literally hundreds per night) are just thrown away, etc. So I appreciate anything Eat 'n Park does to go green.

I loved trick-or-treating when I was little, then at about 13 I stopped. Then around 15 or 16 I started going with friends again, but not dressing up. Then I dressed up for senior year in high school, but didn't trick-or-treat.

Oh, btw, Halloween in college is completely different. :P Guys all try to dress up and go as a theme (That 70s Show, the Flintstones, etc), and girls are usually dressed slutty. There's often themes like "CEOs and Business Hoes," "Romeo and Juliet," etc. And instead of candy, there's jello shots and jungle juice.

I stopped wearing costumes for Halloween after fifth grade (we were REQUIRED to wear costumes in elementary school because they had a Halloween parade, silly, huh?). There are still a few people in my subdivision here in Marlton who trick or treat, but my dad tells me there's hardly any trick or treaters in Bensalem anymore.. in fact trick or treating really wasn't that popular at least in the part of Bensalem I live in during the 20 years we've lived there.

Ah, Halloween, where girls do not get bashed for being a slut :P.  I stopped dressing up when I was 15, after that it was just a chill night with friends, or I have had to work.  This year, I am visiting my best friend at college..should be a good time.

Trick-or-Treating has always been popular with my family.  When I was younger my cousins and I would go over to Iowa on Oct 30 (that's when they did trick-or-treating), and go over to 3 or 4 different neighborhoods on Oct. 31st.  My neighborhood is HUGE..so we see a lot of kids on Halloween.

I am looking more forward to the candy sales on November 1st :)

It's a secret, but it's a "handwritten" if you're interested in searching the free font websites... If anyone else would like one, I would be more than happy to make one for you... It is intended to look like translucent glass... I can use a different color too, with the exception for black. See examples below:

I remember Meganium being one of the Pokémon on the show. There's a bunch more now, but I remember that one.

I'm surprised some cities are allowing Halloween Trick-or-treating on Sunday. I think Saturday night is the night for Trick-or-treating, but I'm not certain. Saturday makes more sense to me, though. Thanks goodness a front is supposed to come through the day before, so it might actually be a rather chilly Halloween. A warm, muggy Halloween isn't right.

Some cities prevent Friday and Saturday nights from being Trick-or-treat nights due to crime issues that can occur.

Wow, look at you, Martin. I'm glad you're enjoying college.  :) That sounds like a lot of fun.

I hope I don't depress anybody with this post, but I really feel the need to be honest and ask for some advice. I haven't been attending classes very much at all this year because I just don't seem to have any motivation to learn or anything. Whenever I try to learn, I just can't because I'm either thinking about the passing of my dad or some other thought is distracting me from studying. I was never the best studier, but the distractions in my mind have gotten so bad that I can hardly study or learn at all. High school was so easy, but things just seem to be falling apart for me in college. I'm probably going to go see a therapist soon for some counseling and advice, but as for right now, I think I'm probably going to take the year off. Hopefully, though, I'll be able to bounce back and be eager and able to learn again and socialize with other college alumni. I don't want my life to fall apart and all, but I guess I'm not strong enough to deal with my emotional distress alone.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: phw115wvwx on October 22, 2010, 01:23:03 PM
Christina, you should talk to a counselor or therapist on campus right now about your situation.  They could help you decide if you should take a year off from college or not, and they could contact your professors although you should talk to them yourself as well if you're way behind.  You shouldn't be dealing with the emotional toll of losing a parent alone.  There's a reason college tuition is so high:  You're also paying for student services.  Take advantage of these resources now, and don't be afraid to also talk to your friends and other family members.  I'm sorry that you're still feeling so much pain in your life.  Good luck!
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: twcfan68 on October 22, 2010, 06:02:06 PM
Thanks, Patrick. I've been talking to my professors, and they understand, but I still need to find a way to learn to get through this. It's almost as if now it's finally hitting me. When it first happened, I was just in shock, but now I realize more and more that he really is gone. I don't want anyone to worry that I'm going to commit suicide or anything, because I am eager and determined to learn to cope with the loss and learn to cherish my love and friendship with my family and friends. If I were to take a year off, I would spend it doing something worthwhile. I've always wanted to travel to Africa and help people there in any way I can. If I can do something fulfilling, I think that might help me out a lot. I've worked out arrangements with a therapist and a few counselors, so I hope I can stick through these hardships and make it through this year strong. I guess I'm not really sticking this out alone because I do have family around, but they seem to be coping with the loss much better than I am. But thank you for your advice, Patrick. I hope I can get over this to the point where I can focus on my own future instead of dreading the sad things that happened in the past.

You're doing the right thing Christina. :) No one deserves to go through the suffering you're going through. I was certainly no stranger to that back in my freshman year of high school (2006-07) when I went through many problems socially and emotionally thanks to a group of unwanted students. While it didn't affect my grades, people noticed a change in me. I've went through counseling and it had helped me a lot and I was pretty much back in my feet by the start of junior year.

Thanks, Patrick. I've been talking to my professors, and they understand, but I still need to find a way to learn to get through this. It's almost as if now it's finally hitting me. When it first happened, I was just in shock, but now I realize more and more that he really is gone. I don't want anyone to worry that I'm going to commit suicide or anything, because I am eager and determined to learn to cope with the loss and learn to cherish my love and friendship with my family and friends. If I were to take a year off, I would spend it doing something worthwhile. I've always wanted to travel to Africa and help people there in any way I can. If I can do something fulfilling, I think that might help me out a lot. I've worked out arrangements with a therapist and a few counselors, so I hope I can stick through these hardships and make it through this year strong. I guess I'm not really sticking this out alone because I do have family around, but they seem to be coping with the loss much better than I am. But thank you for your advice, Patrick. I hope I can get over this to the point where I can focus on my own future instead of dreading the sad things that happened in the past.

Christina, while I haven't ever been in the same situation as you are currently going through, I do want to say that I really admire your determination to learn and your positive outlook on life despite your loss. I couldn't imagine what life would be like without one of my parents; I don't know if I would have the same determination and optimism as you do now, so I really commend you for that and admire it so much. Your dream to go to Africa and help people there also touches me as well. :cry: May all go well for you in this difficult time in your life. Best wishes! :)

Christina, this was exactly how i felt at times earlier this year. :hmm: Although Ive been doing better this year despite my AP class was sluggish at first to start off but almost all is well now for me. :)

What should be good for you is that maybe in spare time if you have the need to study but dont want sad or depressing thoughts, try doing something you can be thinking of that is actually doable such as listening to your favorite music at a low volume while working or prior to listen to music that soothes your emotions :yes:

Thanks guys for your advice and support. I needed a little lift there. Mike, I'm glad that counseling worked out for you, and I hope I'll have the same benefit. Zach, I might try that music idea. There's a lot of TWC songs that I have on my iPod that might diverge my attention from my emotional distractions. If the counseling improves my situation, I'll probably stay in school. If not, I'll most likely take the year off so I can have another year to emotionally recover. Hopefully, I'll be more accepting of the loss a year from now if I choose to take this year off.

so this morning i was sleeping until about 9am when I started to hear what was rain outside, it was coming down hard and I said....cool, we need it, no big deal. lol well, about 15 minutes later I started hearing the nasty thunderstorms that aren't the normal "boom", i got up checked the NWS and TWC and confirmed that my area was under a Tornado Warning. about 3 minutes after that, ASU sent out an Alert to all it's students telling us to evacuate to the first floor of our hall immediately.

we also have tornado sirens, but it's become apparent that they have failed in the event of a serious situation...not sure how the city will handle that, but if you were watching TWC and saw San Angelo on the map, that's where I was.  :P :biggrin:

There wasn't, it was a short-lived tornado and I live in the hill country...so there aren't many people that would be effected unless it hit ASU directly.

Hopefully all midterms went well for everyone.  I had one last week, and have two more this week.  Hard to believe there is only half a semester left, which means I am a fourth closer to being out of community college :) haha, not that it's a bad thing.  In fact, I recommend it, especially for students who have no idea what they want to do with their life.

Just came home, turned on my TV, and see breaking news of a school bus being flipped over in East LA... with students in it.  :blink: Luckily none of the students nor the bus driver were killed. But there's one fatality, but that's yet to be confirmed.

If you want to follow the news story, go to KTLA's website (http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-boyle-heights-deadly-school-bus-accident,0,6702334.story)

Considering how poor many of the bus drivers are at their job I am surprised we don't have more wrecks in this country.  Very sad about that story and it looks like the car who crashed into the bus was at fault

Is it really that bad? :unsure:  I know that drivers involved in public transportation have to pass a special driving test to get their license.

I hope you realize that Physics is vital for Meteorology.  I had to use circular motion a lot in my college classes, and I even learned about advanced circulation theorems for the atmosphere.

Physics is very rewarding once you understand it.  I love it.  I get a rush when I figure out a problem.  It also helps that my Trig class is also using physics-type problems, so it keeps the physics juices flowing.

On a weather-related note:

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a High Risk Convective Outlook for most of today. This means that extremely dangerous storms are likely to occur. High Risk days are extremely rare this time of the year, and when one has occured, massive severe weather outbreaks have ripped across the U.S. (The Super Tuesday Outbreak, for example).

This is a very dangerous weather event. Anyone who wants or needs to discuss it should head to the thread posted a few posts above this one. It is called "Severe Weather Threat: Tuesday, October 26th." Updates to the thread will be posted periodically.

Stay safe out there, members. Today is gonna be a doozy.

Yes. Two people that were in the BMW got arrested for hit-and-run. The two people ran away from the scene with nothing but a scratch but some guy went after them. The fatality confirmed was a bicyclist who was in front of the bus that flipped over.

Now THAT'S freaky. This is happening to my little sister, who is 8 years old and in the 2nd grade currently. (she got held back in kindergarten). For Christmas she wants an iPod touch, because when I let her use mine one time, she could not let go of it. She also wants a laptop as well. She told me one time that 50% of her 2nd grade class has a cellphone (not sure if they're the kids-version or the iPhone version  :wacko:) It's crazy to see that kids these days are in love with today's available technology (iPads, video games such as the Wii or Xbox, etc). What worries me is their responsibility. How are they able to take care of those fragile things? My sister broke her Nintendo DS Lite, and it hasn't been a year since my mother spent a fortune on it.

In my childhood, it was all about Barbies, Hot Wheels, reading awesome books, and board games. All those amazing things we had in the past will start to slowly disappear soon thanks to technology.

Your sister is in 2nd grade and wants a laptop?!? :blink: I didn't have a laptop until 8th grade. And although I had a cell phone before this, it wasn't in second grade.

It is amazing, and almost sad, how technology has really evolved to change kids minds. An iPhone or iPad for a 5-year-old...can you imagine???  :wacko: The board games, legos, books, etc. are really starting to phase out. :(

And that list Alex posted also makes me sad.  When I was younger, I wanted a new bike, or a new pair of rollerblades, maybe a Hot Wheel car or two, or three or four :P.  Oh well, I guess it is just a sign of the times.

I did not get a (useable) laptop until December 2007. I have since sold that laptop and continue to use the Sony laptop I won in 2008. I did not get a cell phone until October 2006 as it was a bad time and me and my mom were going to be separated because of the foreclosure to our house that December. I saw kids as young as 10 and 11 in my day with cell phones and texting all the time and such. Meh, I was jealous but I got over it.

I didn't have a cell phone until 2004 (well after high school), and I didn't even have the internet until 1999 (around junior year in high school).  I really worry about the responsibilities we're teaching our youth these days.

I like that idea. I wouldn't mind using Mac OS 9 again. However being an IT manager I'd rather manage Server 2003/2008 than NT Server. Once in a while I'll load Windows 98 or NT on a virtual machine when I feel nostalgic.

The name of the article says enough, what an ignorant and incredibly stupid thing to say. The fact that he was bold and moronic enough to post those comments on FB is even more despicable. I even noticed another article on the right said he "might" keep his job. WTF? Are they really gonna keep someone like that in a position over state schools?  :huh:

It was done on his own personal facebook page at the very least. While I don't support what he said it is certainly his freedom to do so. Similar to Juan Williams. Personal opinions are just that... personal. If this was affecting his decisions on the school board I would then call for his resignation. Still a dumb move by this guy. It's a shame people have so much hate

Alex really? I don't really agree with that, but ok. It was interesting to see Dagmar Midcap on there at #4 since a couple of years ago she was voted the #1 Hottest Weatherbabe of Atlanta. They even put a billboard up about it.

Haven't been on the board lately, mostly because of school being super busy (trying to graduate in a little over a month). But, every once in awhile, I get to do something absolutely stupid, like my Halloween costume for the PSU whiteout football game: MARIO VLOG! - Penn State vs. Michigan pregame, October 30, 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-0Zcws3A4Q#ws)

A couple of notes:

-Yes, I know, this is a day early. However, there were a few people already dressed up (including one as Mario and Luigi) so I decided to go a day early for mass response.
-I was not at the football game because I had too much work to do. Even a national audience doesn't convince me to break from hitting the books.
-I know the Mario costume was not white. You don't have to tell me that.
-I'm hoping that this video will put my vlogs on the map, but it probably won't.
-I had fun, but the mustache kept falling off.
-Chances are someone will have a lawsuit against me tomorrow morning. :)

NBC 10 Providence in 2008 switched to Retro Television (RTV) so its crazy it took this long for these other NBC Nets to make the switchover from W+ to Nonstop/This/RTV.

I've always tended to be the easiest target for bullies until the last few years. The key to beating them? Don't be reactive. They're only trying to get a reaction out of you. Practice ignoring them, if they really give you trouble. I guarentee they will leave you alone and pick on someone else.

I won't know anymore. Apparently there's a hacker in my school, because a friend of my got his hacked too, even if he logged out of his account. It's so weird though. Nobody knows my password... not even my kitties and doggy.

I'm really glad that I left Facebook these days.  It amazes me that there aren't more hacking attempts with how big it has become.  I haven't heard anything great about it since I closed my account a couple years ago.

I'm thinking about closing mine soon. I find it pointless now. I get in contact with you guys on here or on AIM, Twitter...then I also get in contact with my friends and family via phone calls, IMs or emails or any other contact method. Facebook has gone downhill for me since my ex broke up with me. The last hacking attempt was the last straw for me, with my mind telling me, "I'm so tired of it."

This Sunday at 2 AM in your local time zone, we end Daylight Saving Time to go back to Standard Time.  If you made the changes to your profile that I asked back in spring, you shouldn't have to do anything as the forum will handle the switch automatically.  Enjoy your extra hour this weekend! ;)

It seems at least once a week, there is a story on the news about Facebook having security issues.  So far, so good on my end.  I've never thought about deleting mine.  It's the first thing I check in the moring, and the last thing I check before bed.  I can, however, live without it.  Finals week, Facebook is a no-go.  A friend and I change eachother's passwords, it's great!

Daylight Savings Time ending is a wonderful event.  I am looking forward to that extra hour :).  I am not, however, looking forward darkness at 4:30 :P

Having that label will cause problems in the long run. Remember this.

I knew one of you would reply on that one.

Long story short...in 1st grade I snitched all of the time. Of course, that is no longer true, but some that were in 1st grade with me and are in 6th grade with me still think I would snitch on them. So that mostly deters the bullies away from me ;)

I had a feeling that my public service announcement would catch people off guard.  On Sunday morning, I have to do the first balloon launch after the DST change, which means I have to remember to launch it an hour earlier than I've been doing as UTC time never changes.  Needless to say, my job actually forces me to keep up with time a lot!

We have "fall break" for Columbus Day. It almost feels stupid not to recognize this important holiday but I guess with things being so close to Thanksgiving they can't give a holiday. I get 24-28 off for Thanksgiving and since I have Tuesdays off I only go in on Monday of that week. I am eagerly looking forward to it :D Then two weeks after that its time for exams and break.

He'll probably do pretty well. I've never looked at George Lopez's late night show, but from what I've heard his ratings have been good and he's been on there a year already. It doesn't even feel like it's been that long. I wonder how he's going to do now that Conan will have his 11pm timeslot.

I am curious how well he will do on TBS. I think they have pushed the marketing a bit to far with the Coco thing. It was cool when when it started but now I find it annoying. Perhaps thats just me :/

He'll probably do pretty well. I've never looked at George Lopez's late night show, but from what I've heard his ratings have been good and he's been on there a year already. It doesn't even feel like it's been that long. I wonder how he's going to do now that Conan will have his 11pm timeslot.
Lopez has a late night show? AND its doing good? That is scary!  :o

I wasn't able to catch Conan's show tonight, but I definitely will be watching Tuesday night.  He's got a different sense of humor, and that's why I like him.

It probably won't do as well on the eastern time zone since the local news airs during the 11pm hour.

The more I think about it the worse I feel about the time slot. Most young viewers during that time watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Show and older viewers watch local news. I cant see many young viewers switching to watch Conan.

4.2 million viewers, median age 30. (http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/11/09/conan-premiere-averages-4-2-million-viewers-2-5-adults-18-49-rating/71374)  For reference, it beat out Stewart, Colbert, Leno, Letterman, and even out-viewed all of NBC primetime on Monday.

Advertisers have to be drooling over this.

He's already about a good million viewers ahead of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, I actually read an article last night on Yahoo! that talked about how The Daily Show would be duking it out with Conan for ratings now that Jon Stewart has competition.

Well first showings are always extremely high. If he can maintain a lead over Stewart in a month then that is awesome. The more competition the better! Stewart has been a bit dry lately

Why do some of you all hate Google Instant?  It's supposed to speed up searches, which it does pretty well on my end.  You realize that you can add a Google search on your browser toolbar, and you won't see any instant searches until you navigate to the Google page itself?

Had to delete my last post to bring a slight update on this screwed up mess that's happening.

So, I have school today... but, there are no bus services, my parents are at werk, most of my friends are in school, and taxi services decided to take the day off. Now how am I going to get to school now? I'm just gonna have to do the hard way and stay home. I can *drive* to school, but I can't drive alone (on permit). I immediately got home and sent a complaint to my school's facebook. I know they won't read it (they never read people's complaints  :rolleyes:), but I just feel that it's so stupid.

I called my dad after she went outside to "forget it", told him what happened and he said to leave her alone and hell talk to her. god i hope cuz Ive had enough emotional damage done by her in my life :cry:

Gee Zach, I'm sorry to hear that. :( I can't believe you all had to argue over a clock not being changed. I guess it would just be best not to make comments like you have been but I can understand the "weakness" or trouble even with that. At least your dad understands. :)

or you could have just changed the clock. All families have fights like these. I remember my Mom would come home after work and would be cranky and bitchy. It's life. I don't think your situation is any different than many working families. If you think/know your mom can't tell between sarcasm and humor than why say what you did in the first place?

I don't know why, but today, I've been feeling mildly depressed. It doesn't make sense, because in retrospect, today was just flat out awesome. Good grades (Patrick, physics went through the roof), beautiful weather, everything worked out in my favor. But I'm still kinda sad. Or maybe I'm bored, and I'll snap out of this by tomorrow.

On the upside, my senior project for school is done. My original plan was to build a weather station, but the school wouldn't help with the funding. So, I had to settle with a forecasting website for the school. I finished it just a half-hour ago.

I'm starting a new thread about it in the General Discussion thread. I hope you'll check the page out and help me improve it.

When you've gone through a large wave of stuff to do and suddenly find everything done for a while, you can get pretty bored to the point of restlessness.  Just wait and see if it goes away.  You don't have to worry about it unless it persists for over a week.

For a little random weather fun, how would you react if this was your forecast tonight?

Clear overnight with areas of smoke? What, is this from the wildfires in Arkansas and Oklahoma? Either way, that's really odd that a forecast would say "areas of smoke."

In sports news, my school is playing a really good game against our biggest rival. The score's 14-14, at the moment.

That was actually my forecast back on Tuesday night.  It sure verified as everything became smoky that night to where you couldn't see more than a couple miles, and it was even a little hard to breathe if you were outside too long.  A brush fire formed that night within five miles of the town, and it took two days for the firefighters to contain it.

So, for those who are in school, who has Veterans Day off? Apparently for my college, it doesn't exist on their calendars (therefore I have school.)  :club:

Sorry for the late reply. I'm catching up! ;)

Our elementary and middle schools go to the Veterans Day parade, but the high school doesn't. Of course, the HS band goes so they can march and end up being sweaty all day. Yuck!

"Our First Million Dollar Winner, Ever!" - 1 vs. 100 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYS9N72zP8o#)

I just thought I should update you guys on my situation: I posted on here a while ago that I was probably going to take a year off from school because of the continued grieving of the loss of my father and my inability to focus. However, my counselors and teachers have been very helpful and understanding, and I plan to stick this year out. I've been also getting a lot more emotional support from the family, and that has been helping a lot. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, and I think I'll going to be able to stay in school this year without too much trouble. This will be the last Friday I'll be taking off.

I made a cover page for my scripted story, now you'll get the chance to see all the characters in the family and the logo. NOTE - This is a ROUGH DRAFT, That's why this is in black and white. Some of the characters outside of Daniel, Rodney, Kara, Jason and Melody are most likely to change in appearance. The sketch drawing of Ana is my very first attempt here so she does look rough, but I don't plan to keep that design of her. The first time I worked on a Dean sketch was this past Summer, but there is an alternate design (involving his hairstyle) So in case close, character and Logo Designs are subject to change. Below is a character profile.  :thumbsup:

Quote
Daniel Stoop
(Daniel is 32 years old and the patriarch of the Stoop family. He’s been married to his childhood friend Kara for 15 years who he has 4 children by [two sets of twins] named Jason, Melody, Dean, and Ana. He currently works part-time as a police officer for the Kansas City police department with his best friends Harvey and Jeremy, his other friend Adam Dale is Chief of Police. Daniel is also an only son to his father Rodney. His birthday is in September.)

Kara Hawthorne (Maiden Name) Stoop
(Kara is 30 years old and is the matriarch of the Stoop family. She has been married to Daniel for 15 years and has 4 children by him. She also currently runs her own home bakery/catering business as a part-time job and hopes that one day she can branch out a chain of bakeries and become as famous as Martha Stewart or Chef Emeril. Her birthday is in May.)

Jason Stoop
(Jason is the oldest sibling and first born twin [Age 14] He is best known for his bad boy image and having a potty mouth of a sailor to go along with it. Although he pretends to be tough and hard on the outside, he’s somewhat insecure, vain and shallow on the inside. His birthday is in March.)

Melody Stoop
(Melody is the second oldest twin [Age 14] she’s also the smartest sibling of all four with an IQ of 180. Although she’s usually sweet and down to earth, she can be ruthless when she’s determined to get her point across to people. She tends to voice a lot of her opinions from her liberal standpoint. Her birthday is in April.)

Ana Stoop
(Ana is the third oldest sibling and first born twin of she and Dean. [Age 13] Ana is the “tomboy” type, more athletic than any of her other siblings, she plays softball, basketball, and even tried out for the football team at her school once, but beyond her tomboy attitude she can still act "girly girly". Her birthday is in November.)

Dean Stoop
(Dean is the 4th oldest [baby] of the four siblings [Age 13] He’s pretty well rounded in his personality, he’s also the only openly gay character in this scripted story. [Season One Episode 8: “Comin’ Out”] His birthday is in November.)

Farrah Hawthorne
(Farrah is one of Kara’s siblings most notably her identical twin sister. She’s the total opposite of Kara; she’s wild, silly, a party girl and is in self denial that she’s 30. She still believes she’s a teenager at heart.)

Rodney Stoop
(Rodney is Daniel’s father, but from the way he acts you would think otherwise. He’s harsh and straight forward and often belittles Daniel at his expense and vice versa. Although it may seem that Rodney doesn’t care for his son, deep down he does and somewhat admires him for being a better dad to his kids than he ever was to him. When Rodney isn’t showing up at his son’s home unannounced, he usually resides at the community center for war veterans where he loves to play cards with his war buddies and flirt with the female nurses who served in the Vietnam War.)

Judith “Judy” Turner (Maiden Name) Stoop – Recurring Character
(Only seen in about 3 different episodes, Judith is Rodney’s ex- wife and Daniel’s mother who until Season Three [Debut episode “Mama’s Boy”] he thought was dead, but it turns out Judith has been in the Witness Protection Program the past 28 years for being involved in a local political scandal similar to the Water Gate scandal that occurred with President Nixon during the 1970’s. She was secretly going to publish the scandal in the newspaper until the corrupted politicians threatened to have her killed. Rodney was aware of her whereabouts but continued to lie to Daniel that she died in a car crash when he was 4 years old. Although Daniel welcomed his mother with opened arms again another bombshell revealed that she almost aborted Daniel for committing adultery with another man and was uncertain who the father was.)

My Thanksgiving plan is unfortunately pushed off to this weekend as I have to work the entire week.  My family and I will visit and eat out at a few nice places.  In my opinion, the first and second weeks of December are the best time to shop at the mall where you can avoid the Black Friday crowd and the panicking last-minute shoppers.

By the way, you're looking at my 2,000th post to this forum.  Thanks for all the friendships and support! :wave:

My Thanksgiving plan is unfortunately pushed off to this weekend as I have to work the entire week.  My family and I will visit and eat out at a few nice places.  In my opinion, the first and second weeks of December are the best time to shop at the mall where you can avoid the Black Friday crowd and the panicking last-minute shoppers.

By the way, you're looking at my 2,000th post to this forum.  Thanks for all the friendships and support! :wave:
Congrats Patrick! :)

Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, Gobble Day, whatever term you prefer. I hope everyone enjoys spending time with family and friends while remembering the true meaning behind today that we should be grateful and blessed to have and celebrate life and togetherness with the ones we love.  :happy: In the true spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would post two Thanksgiving episodes from my scripted series. Once again Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yeah, I thought of that day today too. On both 11/30 and 12/1/06 we went up to 71 degrees, then we had a long cold spell after that. Early this afternoon leaving school we had a wind driven heavy rain with winds topping 35 mph, which warranted a severe thunderstorm warning.

I've been suffering something too for a while (couple weeks as of today) and it just won't go away and it's been driving me crazy with the stuffy nose, not being able to taste and smell for a long time and continuous sneezing.. : / I might have to see a doctor if this doesn't go away by next week since I have exams and common assessments (ACT-like tests.)

Can you pull up a screenshot of your modem's diagnostic page (the one with signal level measures)? The address for your modem should be [url]http://192.168.100.1[/url] ([url]http://192.168.100.1[/url])

I can view the link you gave me, but I don't know a username and password to log in further on there.

It should give you signal levels without logging in. Odd.

All I get are a few addresses, a serial number, and several version numbers.  I don't see anything about signal strength.  Furthermore, whenever my internet has blinked, my laptop always says that the DNS server is down.  So, I'm not sure if it's just the modem or perhaps a pretty bad server system here.

My guess is the connection is lost and thats the message you will get because it can not connect to the DNS server. When do these outages occur? Any outages between 12am-6am are quite common since cable companies tend to do a lot of work then

Post by: phw115wvwx on December 10, 2010, 12:48:06 PM
The outages occur most often in the middle of the night, but I still get a few during the day.  I have a feeling that the server here sometimes gets overwhelmed by all the college students nearby using the network.  It usually does come back without me touching a thing after several minutes to an hour.  I guess I really can't do anything about it, so I'll just live with it unless you all know a trick or something.  Thanks for all your help though!

Do you have a Motorola modem?  Hit up the address and click on "signal" on the left.

Is this a rental modem or your own?

It's a rental modem that was provided to me by Comcast when I moved here.  Even when I've tried resetting the modem during an outage, it doesn't solve the problem, which leads me to believe it's the server as mentioned in my previous post.

Your airport is reporting mostly cloudy skies, and HiRAD is judging distance from the airport to give its observation. It might be snowing at your house but perhaps not at the HiRAD site.. :hmm:

Today was a perfect day to do the following: give our dog and kitties a bath outside, do some yardwerk, wash our cars, and do some gardening! I swear I'm pretty sure this will be the last time I'll be doing this before we're back to normal again.

I apologize to anyone who is jealous. :P Need I mention that my little sister set up the swimming pool?  :bleh:

Also, I see some of you created some amazing Christmas-themed sigs. I'll make one when I get a chance. Those days at Graphic Design class gave me confidence to do a sig of my own.

School cancelled for me today. I understand why, though. total snow accumulations of 4.5 inches, blowing and drifting snow, and sub-zero wind chills.
I've had a scratchy voice since Saturday, so I'm glad I have an extra day to the weekend.

There were times last night that visibilities were near zero at Munson Park and Custer Airport. Heavy snow, and 35+ mph sustained winds. I have a few videos of it, I'll try to upload them later today.

We usually do reviews, THEN the exams back in my late high school days. (because our classes were an hour and 30 minutes long lol). Take Martin's advice, Plane, and you'll be just fine. I bet today's a GREAT day to study.

I found these sentences embedded in some flood statements from a few weeks back.

DRIVING INTO FLOODED ROADS IS A GOOD WAY TO DIE. BETTER TO BE LATE THAN END UP ON THE NEWS.

As far as I know, Morristown is the only office that has written advisories with sentences like this. I like the unique way of portraying the danger.

It's getting very icy down here quickly, there was a lot of sleet accumulating on the walkway to my house when I came home from school. One of the on air traffic guys at our ABC news affiliate said while driving through downtown Atlanta his back tires slid 3 or 4 times and he was only 5 minutes away from the studio. The NWS also extended the Winter Weather Advisory to our area from now until 7am.

Good luck to everyone with their exams.  My finals are unofficially over, I just need to show up for my computer programming final and fill out a sheet that says I am not taking the optional final. Glad this semester is over.  I start a 12-day semester on Monday, taking one class.  Then I have 3 classes next semester and then I transfer!

Also, great to hear some of you are getting snow!  I love the stuff.  Got a fresh 4 to 5 inches on the ground, which has pretty much set in stone a white Christmas with the threat of a few more inches Sunday night/Monday.

This past week has been a fun busy one! On Saturday, I had to march 1.8 grueling miles in the Christmas parade (exhausting). Then, on Monday, I borderline skated. Me skating is a pretty hilarious sight to others. I move about half the time and scream for most of the rest of the time. :P

Then, on Tuesday, we started finals. Tuesday was elective finals day...the only elective I had that had a final was German. On Wednesday, we had our civics test, along with the English test. Then, today was a snow day. Today's finals would have been math and science. Many thanked the Lord that the ice was bad enough last night. :P

So I guess we'll have to do our finals tomorrow, even though I'm exempt from all finals due to good grades, good behavior, and good attendance. Yay! :)

I'm still awake for some odd reason. I should be asleep right now because I'm chaperoning my little sister's fieldtrip to the movies. Then it's the Christmas party with the younglings. Excuse me while I spray myself with anti-germ spray.

So. I got my new iPod today (for those of you who follow me...you know about it!). The 4th gen iPod Touch is incredible. The cameras aren't necessarily great but they definitely work! The Retina display is what Apple has advertised it to be: incredible and very, very sharp. I love it...definitely worth the $30 extra! :D

does anyone else with Windows 7 have problems with Itunes when launching it? Every time I launch the program it freezes, so I have to go to the Task manager and end the process...I launch it again and it works just fine.

iTunes in general just sucks. It's way too bloated (which is ironic because Apple is known for being simplistic), and they just keep adding stuff. Hopefully they announce their Lala replacement soon with a similar streaming/cloud service, so I can dump iTunes altogether.

iTunes is such a processor hog. A future version that won't support PowerPC Macs might help the bloating, since Apple won't need the legacy code for that architecture.

I hate how iTunes doesn't let you transfer songs from your ipod to the computer, which is gonna suck because my iPod backlight isn't working right and a portion of the songs were stored on my old computer before it crashed and I had to restore it.

open the ipod drive in my computer and browse the hidden folders. your music is in those folders under randomly generated letter names. You'll have to reidentify them. but all your music is in them.

Heh, I won't I was just messin' around. I did get a bit jealous about the temperature. It's been cloudy & rainy since Monday and I CAN'T WAIT for sunny skies tomorrow. Just going through this rain for a long time makes me depressed for some reason.

Speaking of rain, we had a cluster of heavy rain come through our area and flooded my back and front yards. The porch makes it impassible for us. Today was a day to stay indoors.

iAgree (:P), the Google doodle just sucks. When I saw it, I thought, "That's the best they could do?" It's clever how when you click a picture, it does a search for that item, but the doodle looks thrown together.

The cold makes you depressed? I usually have a lot more energy during the winter time. I have no desire to do anything under the heat.

Remember that I was launching balloons and measuring the snow depth and snowfall in the freezing cold and wind during some mornings when most of you were sleeping soundly in warm bedrooms?  My job is twice as hard when it's windy, cold, and snowy compared to a normal day.

This year was kinda a bit good, but no near as good as 03, 05, 06, and 08.
In general: a huge improvement of 09.
In weather channel: repeat of 09 because since last year I only watch TWC  less than a hour average daily. 7/10
In TWC music: Still not improving. 6/10
In school: My hope failed. Too much loudness. :thumbdown: 5/10
Overall: 7/10 (between alright and good)

Same here, although that would depend on when Spring Break would fall into (ours is always the week of Easter). Since Easter falls on April 24th this year, I'm gonna have a reeeeally late spring break, and will have no days off from February 22nd all the way until April 15th.

I have my semester finals later this month, so school work will likely pick up significantly in the next week (fortunately I only have 4 academic classes this year, though).

Ok Google is amazing. I accidentally added all of my twitter and facebook contacts to my phones contact list. That list was then synced to google. I thought I would have to wipe all of my contacts and find a backup to restore but Google apparently has a built in feature that restores your contact list to any point in time. Google rocks. I never thought they would have something like that built in to google contacts.

I just finished up my "minimester" today, a 16 week course condensed into 12 days.  It's pretty intense, but it's a great feeling when it is done.  I start back on the 18th.

Fortunately, since I've taken summer and winter courses, I only need three more classes for my Associates degree.  I am re-taking a class I got a D in my freshman year, because that crushed my GPA.  So, I only need two books, so it will not cost me much.  But like Al and Martin mentioned, BUYING BOOKS SUCKS!!!

even C's will horrendously bring down your GPA, it's ridiculous. lol

i did get my books today, cost? $443.29. that's pretty cheap (based off of my previous semesters here), the past three semesters they've ranged higher from $600-$850. but still, it's money i'd rather spend doing fun stuff. lol  :lol:

For all of you suffering with book costs, make sure you consider looking online for books like eBay, or only buy used books at a bookstore.  There are even some courses where the professors place all the notes online to where having a textbook is practically pointless.  I remember seeing a new edition of one textbook with hardly any words or figures changed at all from the previous edition, but the difference in price was $100.  It's a complete rip off.

Yes, I highly recommend Amazon, and ebay as Patrick suggested.

However, renting books have become quite popular.  All you have to do is pay for shipping and handeling, and maybe 30 to 40 bucks to rent, and then you send it back after 12-16 weeks of using it.  However, since I only need two books, I am just going to buy it from my school's bookstore.

And you are right Al, C's can ruin that GAP as well.  :thumbdown:  Shooting for a 4.0 this semester

Cell phone companies here are all over the place.  We've got Sprint here and there, Verizon Wireless, US Cellular (my carrier), iWireless, AT&T.  Those are some of the main carriers.  Not sure which one is used the most, however.  I just have an LG Banter.  I am considering going off my parents' contract when it expires and go with a Verizon Droid, but I am still not sure.

My belief is that society needs to relearn how to get along with one another.  Because acts of kindness and simple respect seem to be lost at times in this world, people can turn to some unhealthy addictions like what you all mentioned above to find comfort or even an escape from a harsh reality.  Many addictions are caused by something fundamental that is missing inside a person emotionally, socially, or psychologically.

Value your friendships and loved ones, and always look for ways to give and earn respect from others through simple acts of kindness.  I really believe that would help a lot of people right now.

Maybe this summer will be a happy medium for you all. :) But yeah, I've seen where Orlando has been in the 50s a LOT this winter...Miami in the lower 60s. :blink: That's crazy; I think we've been warmer a few times. And hopefully spring break in Florida for me this year won't be like last year when it was 60 degrees and rainy in the middle of March. :thumbdown:

This Summer was hot like usual here in Texas so nothing new.

However, last winter it got down to a chilling 14 degrees here and snowed twice!  :blink:

This winter, nothing big yet... But in the California desert, it flooded. Talk about climate change!

My belief is that society needs to relearn how to get along with one another.  Because acts of kindness and simple respect seem to be lost at times in this world, people can turn to some unhealthy addictions like what you all mentioned above to find comfort or even an escape from a harsh reality.  Many addictions are caused by something fundamental that is missing inside a person emotionally, socially, or psychologically.

Value your friendships and loved ones, and always look for ways to give and earn respect from others through simple acts of kindness.  I really believe that would help a lot of people right now.
I wish society could hear that very statement. It would really make people think.

Tyler- lake effect snow is very interesting.  I would love to go somewhere around the Great Lakes and experience it. 
It definitely is amazing, that's for sure. I will never forget the night I went down to South Haven on New Year's Day last year. In the morning of the next day, the snow had ended in South Haven itself, but I met a near blizzard (literally) when I got down to the lighthouse. My dad and I also ran into zero visibility on the way back up I-196 (with one lane of slow traffic), but it was completely sunny when we got to Grand Rapids.
If only there was a section of meteorology devoted specifically to lake effect snow :P

Speaking of that, I've been getting some great driving experience in snow lately (and ice yesterday). On just a 9 mile stretch of Interstate 69 before getting off south of Owosso last Tuesday, I got passed by three semis and tons of cars on the snow covered interstate. Forgive me for being safe on the freeway, lol  :rofl:

Well, no school here today due to a 1/10" glaze on the roads, below a dusting of snow. That's all you need to close school up for the whole day. Only 1 "snow day" left until we have to go longer this summer...., and I haven't even seen any good snowstorms yet this season. :/

Wow, your school district has used up that many? We've had one day off so far this season in Haslett (December 13th). I think the state (not completely sure how it works) allows 30 hours per year, which translates into 4 days and one two hour delay (not quite a fifth day).

We also get 30 hours, though here, one snow day is equal to 6 hours. (5 snow days per year, less if there's fog delays.)
So far, we've had 2 fog delays, and 3 snow days. (Dec 13, Jan 12, Jan 19.) For a total of 22 hours used. So, there's one day and one fog delay left, and we're not even halfway through the winter.

As of 2006 no snow days are built in to our schedule (we used to have two). We have to make them all up now. And starting this year after one more snow day, they will start eating our spring break away. Oh how I love NJ! :happy: <_<

Tighter standards are never bad, but there's no reason a district can't make MLK day or President's day a snow make up day. Penn Hills regularly builds in 6 to 8 days (depending on the school year, they can include MLK Day, President's Day, Professional days, days from Spring break, and Kennywood day). They often use close to all of them.

I don't even think my high school in rural WV built in that many make-up days for snow days during a school year.  One year, I remember having 18 snow days thanks to the winter of 1992-1993.  You'd think more make-up days would be incorporated into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic school systems as you said, but money and budgeting does seem to be one reason why it's not done.

Back in 2006 or so (right around or before the time I began high school), Haslett added 1 minute onto each hour, so the school day goes from 7:50 to 2:23, instead of 7:50 to 2:17. It used to be that there were only 51 minutes in each "hour", but it has been increased to 56. This is one reason why the middle school didn't have to make up a missed day when it was vandalized a couple years ago.

My thoughts exactly when I first started seeing that ad last year. I just mute the TV and dismiss the ad. As soon as I can afford technology that does not involve oil/gas (or as much of it as conventional cars do), it will not be a concern to me.

Yeah, that certainly would be nice. Unfortunately, society doesn't allow it mainly because of athletics and plans that people make in the afternoon. Back when I went to Hope Middle School (maybe it was Elliott Elementary :P) in Holt, it actually started at that time.
But yeah, it would be nice.

So this morning, I cleared out the last of the remaining raw files from what used to be my primary external hard drive. I stored everything from New Year's 2009 on it in addition to it being the HD to which files were written. I now have a 2 TB hard drive specifically for raw files, and I haven't even looked through any of the files on it since I hooked it up on Christmas Day.
But over the past 3 weeks, I deleted raw files from the original hard drive, and it now has 1.11 TB of space... even with the 3,000+ videos (some of which are high-def) I have on it.

Well, I heard solar is currently affordable. It will pay off by plugging into your house, and then the power use meter goes back on amount used, then goes forward at night. It will definitely save money on your electric bill, and you can get a tax return for purchasing them!  :thumbsup:

But wow, check this out. Pellston MI, situated in Emmet County between Petoskey and the Mackinac Bridge, is always the coldest spot in the state. But this is crazy. It has been a while since temperatures like this have shown up anywhere in Michigan. What's funny is, Traverse City, about 50 miles away, is at 0.

Went out yesterday to visit the local wind farm. If you've never seen one of these wind turbines up close, they're MASSIVE. These two are each nearly 400 feet tall (not sure of the height of the cell tower in the foreground). This picture was taken about three-tenths of a mile away from the turbines. I'm going to try to get some closer shots in the coming weeks.

I've seen a wind farm in WV with a line of 100 wind turbines going across the mountain top.  Each turbine there is about 300 feet tall, and those blades sweep out a 200-foot circle in diameter.  I'd hate to be a maintenance worker who has to climb up to the top of those huge turbines.

I've only seen them from a far distance on mountain tops while driving on the PA turnpike. They seem like they're not too wide from a distance (mainly since it's kinda hard to tell how far you are from them). I figured they were one or two hundred feet tall but not that tall. :o

I've seen thousands of them, and they definitely are HUGE. The thumb actually had a massive wind turbine project a few years ago, and have enough wind turbines to power over 15,000 homes. I believe the entire village of Pigeon and some of Bad Axe are powered by them.

In other news, Saturday was 6 years after our last double digit snowfall... and to the northeast the past couple winters, 10 inches in one storm is peanuts.

At our middle school we were able to see the presidential inauguration live. We had a choice of CNN or MSNBC. The teacher in our class at the time chose MSNBC, and being a loyal MSNBC viewer, it felt kinda comforting to listen to Chris, Keith, and Rachel.

By the way, despite being a Cox market, we don't have the IS2 yet (Phoenix is #2 in Internet and telephone, so those are probably priorities, as well as the recent rollout of new guide software). We DO have TWC HD now and have had it for quite a while.

When I was in elementary school, we had about 10 or 15 TVs/VCRs/Laserdisc units on carts for use throughout the school. They would store them in the library when not in use. Now in my high school we have LCD projectors mounted on the ceiling in every room. :P

We've got several TVs in our cafeteria at school, and the Student Senate is smart enough to keep them off the extreme-o channels (FOX and MSNBC). They're usually on CNN, ESPN, or local channels.
yea thats what I was referring to earlier. MSNBC seems a bit extreme for public school.

Yep. Now all the schools are broke with no money for books or teachers but at least the kids can watch tv!  :rolleyes: I remember our school got a bunch of tvs and projectors that never really got used. The school system got a grant and decided they needed to spend the money as fast as possible without looking for good uses for it. Makes me less sympathetic when you hear them complain they need more money.

WHAT? Are you crazy? That makes sense and is reasonable. Who goes to public school to learn? :P Public schools are a joke in general. The goal is to make the dumbest kid pass and officials don't care how they get to that point. I've watched them pull all kinds of tricks in my school district.

At my HS we had any channel you wanted but we never used it. The only time the TVs were ever on was if the teacher was watching it during his/her lunch break.

I agree 100% with that statement. All they do is lower the standards so that the students who don't care to learn or try hard can still pass. It's all a load of BS in my mind.

so today has been a rather odd, yet fun day. earlier this morning the front passed and brought sever weather with it, it later transitioned over to sleet then snow. at 6, we (student body) got an email stating that classes will be in session, which slightly shocked me because just a few hours before they sent out an alert saying that traveling will put our lives at risk and they discouraged it...like really? lol anyway, I had an 8AM class and 30 minutes into the class, we all got a text message from our alerting service to inform us classes have been cancelled due to worsening road conditions. another professor came into our class to let our professor know that classes have been released.

we're considered a residential campus, and apparently it's really rare for residential campus' to close due to weather conditions.

i also called into work to tell them i will not be there today, reason being: i've never driven on icy/snowy roads and I don't intend on dieing today.  :P

now i'm just bored outta my mind, rumor has it that the ice isn't going anywhere and classes may be delayed or even cancelled again tomorrow...guess we'll see how this plays out.

I strongly agree with you, Patrick. It's a shame too these days, that teachers only care about their salaries. Another thing that makes me upset is that the classes often teach students "to the test". The purpose for us to attend school is to learn. Should what we learn during 4 years in high school be wasted on a 4 hour SAT or ACT exam? We should be learning for the sake of knowledge, not test-taking.

I know, I didn't mean to quote Patrick's post in that one. In regard to salaries,then why are there so many strikes going on these days? Just last year, the teachers in my school and another one in the area (public) both went on strike due to contract issues. Almost every week, I'm seeing news about a school strike on the local Philly stations. This is questioning me about the teachers' desire to teach in the first place. In regards to tests, I think you misinterpreted regular exams with SAT/ACT, but what would be the point if we dump all that information into them? SAT's/ACT's are not the whole world here, I got into 2 respected colleges in my area despite lackluster test scores. They're not an accurate measurement of one's success in school, just google up the number of "SAT-optional" schools that exist in this country today. I know several bright kids who have high GPA's and take a very rigorous courseload, but suffer from low standardized test scores. Do colleges really make you write an essay in 25 minutes? Most of the colleges here don't even look at the SAT essay, so I don't see the point in having one of them. My physics teacher himself does not advocate the SAT's because a 4 hour booklet doesn't necessarily serve as an accurate indicator of one's skills/intellectual reasoning.

I really don't want to cause a debate here but to make the point here that everyone else is making, schools and colleges alike do need to step up their standards both funding wise and teaching wise.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages electric power to 22 million Texas customers, has declared a level 3 Energy Emergency Alert. ERCOT urges customers to reduce consumption of energy due to an overload on the system. Level 3 requires "firm load shedding" to restore and maintain system frequency, according to the council.

Jim Cantore's reaction is PRICELESS!  I was hoping to experience some thundersnow during this storm, however that did not happen.  A couple of my friends who live south of my area said they saw it.  What an amazing phenomenon to experience, I imagine.

16.7" from the blizzard, 18.4" since Monday.  This is my areas 2nd largest snowstorm on record.  If that 18.4" had been all from the blizzard, the record would have been tied for the largest.  Worst storm since 1974 here!

The thunder followed about one to two seconds after both flashes, so lightning struck about 1/3 mile away from him twice.  That's really dangerous, and he apparently didn't see any other flashes before those two based on his reactions.

That right there is IMPOSSIBLE to get in Cincinnati.. Even though we've had an above average snowy winter here, It still kinda sucked since we got all our snows in small 2"-4" events and not huge 6"+ storms  <_< I really do hate the weather here, but it's better than nothing I guess..

This Sunday, I'll be flying to Norman, OK for a week to attend a training workshop on radar and severe weather warnings.  When I complete this workshop, I'll be able to issue warnings during future forecasting shifts.  I've only flown a few times in my life, so I'm naturally pretty nervous.  Wish me luck! :wave:
Have a great time! I bet it'll be cool to issue watches and warnings! :)

I strongly agree with you, Patrick. It's a shame too these days, that teachers only care about their salaries. Another thing that makes me upset is that the classes often teach students "to the test". The purpose for us to attend school is to learn. Should what we learn during 4 years in high school be wasted on a 4 hour SAT or ACT exam? We should be learning for the sake of knowledge, not test-taking.
It's also why people are failing state tests, because they expect everyone to know whats on it WHEN THEY NEVER LEARNED IT <_<

One of my last public school classes was my 8th grade science course, a class I will forever call a trainwreck.

-Teacher was the epitome of stress. I saw her recently at a Kohl's department store with a coffee cup in one hand, cell phone in another, and "I <3 SD" sweatshirt. Catchphrase? "Oh my lanta".
-An aide had to be added midyear. There were many struggling/troublemaking students, including one who's always had an unjustified grudge on me. There were almost always people sent to detention.
-We were behind enough that an entire unit on ecology and Darwinian principles had not been covered by the time we took the AIMS science exam (which included questions on them).
-I felt like I was in an insane asylum half the time.
-It was a RELIEF to leave that class. No, really. It actually made me feel bad emotionally.

That class, among other things, was the reason I decided to make the move to Catholic school.

At my middle school, it was like this. I passed SC History with 98% Average, while everyone else didn't care. The teacher was in some mental  :wacko:state that she didn't even notice it what went on right in front of her. The kids always did rude things to her and they never showed a desire to learn. That's what made me furious. I hate how you try to learn and other kids hinder you from doing so, not to mention that the school had been given best in county/state or something. I was too happy to get to high school because everyone cared about their grades and classes were actually interesting.

Off topic but I just want to comment on how stupid some people are...

I bought a PowerMac G5 off craigslist, I booted it up and the fans always run at full speed because the plastic air deflector was taken out and never put back in by the previous owner. Upon inspection apparently they got annoyed with the noise and unplugged all the fans they could instead of figuring out what was wrong and why there is a bright red light lit on the mobo (or I guess Logic Board because Apple has to be different). :wall:

Another one... a friend of mine was given a computer to fix because it wouldn't boot. He took the memory out and noticed that someone had bought the wrong memory (I believe DDR2 instead of DDR1) and decided that since they wouldn't fit they should file down the memory stick to make it fit because... that is the only logical thing to do. :wall:

On a sadder note, the consequences of all those snow days are finally hitting. Thankfully, our school has elected to not shorten breaks, but for two weeks, we are going to have every single class. The rings around my eyes are about to get a WHOLE lot darker.

We only have to make up one day. Before the snow/ice in January we were supposed to be out this Friday and President's Day, but they took President's Day back for the makeup day. We got lucky to not get more than an inch of snow last week because that would have been a second day to make up.

Over the past few weeks, It seems that every other day, someone changes my Facebook Account password, then in my email there is a message about a password reset or something. Then about 10 min ago, I got a text message with a code to change my FB pw when I didn't request it. I had just changed my email pw. Anyone know how this happens. I am aware of virus's and keyloggers, but my computer doesn't have any of these on it when I scan for them. Its really making me P.O.-ed.

Someone probably figured out your password and went from there.. no keylogging/virus required.. also, are you in a public location and is your Wifi spot secured? (more preferably with WPA)

I'm not in a public location, we do have a pw (yes WPA 2). My wifi only reaches a few hundred yards(100-200 maybe). Only my family lives around me, and most of they only know how to use basic functions of a computer, so I doubt its them doing it. Thanks for the help.

I made a comeback to eBay and sold my books there (even the old ones that I was never able to sell). It's a lot safer there tbh.

You need to be careful. It's a scam that wants you to think you have a virus. I've been there before. Try Photobucket.

My problem with PB is that theyve resized images even at 1280x720 on me and Imageshack didnt.. IS recently disabled direct linking to guests, Imagehost is close to shutting down (you cant upload anymore there), and Tinypic wipes images after a long while.. assuming PB doesnt resize images anymore Ill start fresh on a new account and go from there.. I may also search for some PHP codes to create an upload form for my server (and disperse file types so viruses in .exe files mainly dont upload) for you guys could use ;)

If you safeguard yourself on Craigslist (similar to how I would safeguard myself on Ebay), then you will have no problems on Craigslist.

Hey everyone... sorry for my silence in this thread and forum recently.. :) anyways, Ive been having a somewhat bad week.. Tuesday came the announcements during hour 1 that the fire alarms were getting worked on and to disregard if they went off, but never did.. I also ordered my class ring that night... Wednesday was horrible.. I lost my retainers at my doctors office and had to go through hell with my dad cuz he wanted to eat a $17.00 dinner by going home over picking up a ~$3000 retainer.. :hmm: then the retainer saga continued today, which is not only what made my day somewhat bad, but another series of unfortunate events happened.. I left my retainer case at home, so i had to rely on napkins to keep it safe while i ate lunch which i know is bad... didnt lose them though, but the other side of today was during 3rd period when the fire alarm sounded, this time with no announcement until after it went off.. didnt go off from there and it only sounded for ~3 seconds at the most.. I hope tomorrow I can do better.. :happy:

I love the iPhone 4 design, but the OS seems so plain and boring now. They need to mix things up a bit.

They're not going to. Their strategy is working. It's not broken, so why bother changing it?

You can always jailbreak it and download custom themes for it (if you want to lose support from Apple that is...)

If you know what you're doing, you can unjailbreak so that apple doesn't ever know. It's not like it was when the iPhone first came out.

I'm back home after completing my training on severe weather warnings.  I still need more practice, but I can do them in the future from this point forward.  There will be a lot more simulations ahead for me and another training class done online to further help me.

Its basic but does what I need it to do. Widgets would be nice and perhaps we get those with iOS5. Still apps generally seem better on the iPhone. The android marketplace still seems meh to me.

It gets that cold here quite often in winter. But that is a mistake. It hasn't been that cold here in at least a week or two.

Wow, time flies...

I'll be in school the whole month of March. My spring break isn't until April 22 (April 22-May 1.)
I'll probably be just tracking severe weather for much of this spring and summer.

And wow, just over 101 days left until my original last day of school, June 8. (Unfortunately due to 7 snow days and a few fog delays, Monroe Public Schools is extending the year 2 days- until June 10.

Yes it does, but that much was not needed. It had to be about 10-15' of paper.

As a small few of you may know already, I will be recieving a "gift" if you will sometime next week. I am sending in a payment. That is all I am saying for now.

It is going to be an XLent experience recieveing it.

BTW, yes it has been finalized. The seller has given me a purchase order, and they said it is packed up and ready for shipping.

Does anyone else find this news promo by our local NBC affiliate to be pretty creepy? Channel 11 Morning News: Mornings Matter (http://vimeo.com/20659452) I sure think it is. Btw, that is the same voice over guy that does several TWC promos.

Hope you get well, Martin.  It's rough getting sick while traveling.  I made it to Kansas City just fine, but it was snowing when I landed.  It'll warm up this week.

Martin, if you haven't done so, when you take a nap or go to sleep at night, throw on some sweats, get under the covers and sweat that bad boy out. You WILL feel the difference. (Do take your medicine before you hit the sack).

But won't that lead to dehydration or perhaps even increasing your temperature to dangerous level though if you do that for a long while?  I've never heard about sweating out a flu before, so it seems like a myth.  I've always been told lots of water, lots of rest, vitamin C, chicken noodle soup, and medication are what you need.  You only need a blanket to keep yourself comfortable from the chills when your temperature is elevated.

Thanks for the tip. I actually did something similar and cranked my electric blanket to max. It really does make you feel better the next day! Today I'm 95% back to normal. I even went and sat out at the beach since it was 80F. Summer fever!

I went to the nurse both times i was cold.. no fever first time, but the second time, I was like 102° :hmm: i had to stay home the day after, too!

We'll leave the window in the kitchen open for those still stuck in the heat.  By the way, why is it that the fall/winter thread has been referred to as the "pot belly" stove and not just any old stove?  Is there a special reason TWCT and TWCC chose that particular idea?  I've always been curious about it.

Agreeing with the two posts above, summer is also my favorite season despite the excessive heat the south saw this summer. I actually really enjoy early fall, especially October, because it is a usually a wonderful, refreshing cool down from the intense summer and still has fairly mild temps in the 70s or low 80s for highs (that probably sounds warm for some of you :P). But fall usually starts to take a turn for the worst starting anytime around mid-November.

I actually stepped outside during the blizzard. I was only out for a few minutes, but let me tell you, it was intense. There was snow blowing everywhere, and it was very blustery. Oh, and did I mention I saw thundersnow for the first time in my life? :bleh:

I was working on science during our science lesson and I was threatened with three demerits if I did the work, but again, if I didn't I would get the same amount. If you get five within a week, you get an ASD (after-school detention). Fifteen within the nine weeks is a SD (Saturday detention). Over that is a potential for suspension or expulsion. I've also already been threatened with fifty demerits already.

Sounds like a stupid way to discipline the kids and for teachers to abuse their power. One thing I hate about school is teachers abusing their power and being just plain stupid. I'm not saying all teachers are stupid, some teachers are really good.. I've had a bunch of amazing teacher. But I have had some pretty dumb teachers in my past as well who just loved flexing their power for no reason and writing students up for stupid reasons and giving them referrals.. Those kinds of teachers shouldn't even have the right to have their job.  <_<

Demerit Levels at my school:

1-6 Demerits: No Penalty
6-12 Demerits: D-Hall (detention)
12-24 Demerits: Saturday D-Hall with Student/Principal Conference
24-36 Demerits: Parent/Principal Conference
36-48 Demerits: In-School Suspension
48+ Demerits: TBD by Principal

It's basically a lessee of a write-up...but, at my school you can get up to 13 of them at a time. 6 of your demerits get wiped away at the end of the 9 weeks.

At my school...
5 demerits/1wk = detention
10 demerits/1wk = 2 detentions
15 demerits/9wk = Saturday detention (and you pay the teacher $20)
20+ demerits = suspension/expulsion

ALL demerits are wiped at the end of the 9wks.

Thankfully, I've only had one detention and an "after-school assignment," which did not classify as a true detention because I did not have the demerits for it. I got the detention for telling someone to kiss my  :censored:.

During my high school days, demerits didn't even exist.  The only things that teachers computed were your grades, absences, and tardies.  I get the feeling that the old-fashioned way of education is winning here, especially with discipline. :hmm:

My school has a system of conduct cuts in each class (and the teacher doesnt have to tell you when he and or she assigns them, and they vary by class).. but for the AP/principal level, we have things called office referrals, in which at one point they were hand-written and are now written online.

It was kinda simple at my school. Ten demerits, you had morning laps. Had to get up at 6 to do them. At 60 demerits, you had an in-school suspension. 100 demerits, and you were suspended indefinitely.

Same with me.  You got a detention if you were habitually late to classes or had actual behavioral issues.  Nothing like what I've read here, such as using a black pen on "use a blue pen day."

Reading this thread is like living through a nightmare.  I can't imagine how insane some teachers and schools are for basically treating students like soldiers at boot camp with all these demerits.

Good grief!  That looks like a tool of a teacher-Nazi.  "Annoying classmates"?!  I annoyed my classmates every single day simply by my presence on this planet.  "Lack of materials"?  My teachers honestly couldn't have cared less where you got your pens and paper from, so long as you had them by the time class began.  One of my neighbors in math class borrowed my spare calculator every single day throughout the year, and it would have been unthinkable for her to have gotten in trouble for not having her own.

These kinds of rules have gotten truly out of control.  If a student has a bad cold, for example, would he get a detention for being "inattentive," showing a "lack of cooperation," and "annoying other students" by potentially infecting them, too?  Would that result in three detentions?  Good heavens!

So, at this school, are students allowed to speak unless the teacher first barks an order to them to speak?  What about laughing?  I was notorious, from the 2nd grade through high school graduation, for laughing out loud, uncontrollably, and for no good reason.  I just couldn't contain myself when I started.  9 out of 10 times, people (students AND teachers) enjoyed the comic relief and helped me to calm down a little.  During that lone 1 out of 10, I was told to take a walk, get a drink of water, and come back when I'm a little calmer.  I never once got in trouble for it, even though it could be considered "annoying" and "disruptive."

I went to school from 1987 to 2000, and, back then, I guess teachers and students were allowed to be human beings, not concentration camp overseers and automatons.  We were allowed to speak our minds, engage each other (and teachers) in mature debate, have fun within the context of the class, and just be people.  Hugs were routinely and freely exchanged, be it student-student, student-teacher, or teacher-teacher.  When I was in elementary school (and early on in middle school, too), the exterior doors to the building were kept wide open when it was hot outside to provide some ventilation.  It wasn't until later that schools had to be turned into Fort Knox to keep pedophiles and kidnappers out.

I'm forgetting what grades some of you guys are in who are talking about demerits, but here's a run-down of my "disciplinary" experience.

In my elementary school (4th and 5th grades), we had what was called the "Oops" board, and it was very strict (i.e. don't forget your materials, don't disrupt class, etc). Three "oops" marks meant detention.

In middle school, we did have demerits and referrals. Demerit was the first action, and if you got so many demerits you would get a "referral," which by the way was a "referral" to the middle school principal. So many referrals would then equal an in-school suspension.

In my high school, we also had demerits, but we did not get written up for these little things like forgetting your materials or laughing in class. One big thing was that we had to wear IDs in high school (since it was public), and it was very easy to get written up for that since a lot of people refused to wear them. Demerits were also issued in "groups," meaning a student would hardly ever get just one demerit; often times, even if a student did just one thing wrong, he or she would get three demerits at a time. So many demerits would equal an in-school suspension, then you could get out-of-school suspension.

Paying a teacher $20 is ridiculous. However, at my high school, the cell phone/electronic device policy was very strict. If you were caught using any form of electronic device in class, it would be confiscated and you would have to pay $15 to get it back. That $15 was supposed to go to the office, but there's no way to know for sure that the money didn't just go into the teacher's pocket.

That $15 was supposed to go to the office, but there's no way to know for sure that the money didn't just go into the teacher's pocket.

It was like this when I was in middle/high school also. I guess what you guys call Demerits, we called them Deficiency Notices. You could get these notices for any reasons from continuously sleeping in class to failing/or on the verge of failing said class, to excessive cursing (sometimes you just got written up or a phone call depending on the teacher) to having missing assignments whether it was not turning in homework or finishing classwork. As far as academics when it came to these notices, going by the student handbook they issued us at the beginning of the school year, the teacher is required to inform you if you're failing or borderline failing their class in advance by issuing the notice so you can have time  to talk with that teacher and make up any assignments or do extra credit assignments to pull your grade up to at least a passing grade 70.

By law if they didn't issue you one and you failed the class you can report that teacher and they would be written up. That crazy stuff about annoying students or laughing out loud didn't necessarily get you in trouble, at worse you may have gotten a phone call home or after school detention again this depended on the teacher, but if it did become too disruptive to the entire class, you were more likely to kicked out of the classroom and sent to someone else's classroom to finish your classwork for the remainder of the class period.
Tardiness was a separate and somewhat complicated issue in high school to say the least. :rolleyes:

My elementary school had no such thing as detention.  (It actually started the year after I left.)  The most common punishment was to stand in the corner of the classroom or, if during recess, outside at the corner of the building.  I don't know what the more severe punishments were, since I never got sent to the principal's office to find out.

In middle school, after-school detention was held only twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, since the after-school busses only ran those two days.

Wouldn't it be illegal to PAY any amount of money to the teacher as "punishment"?  I can see gross abuse of that system.  More to the point, unless the kids are 16 or so, it's really the PARENT'S money that is being paid.  And what right does the school have to hold the child's cell phone, paid for likely by the parent, hostage until money, again, most likely the parent's, is handed over to recover it?  How is that not theft?  Schools can ban cell phones and hold them until the end of the day or until a parent comes to retrieve it, but how is it even REMOTELY LEGAL for a school to hold a cell phone until the parent pays $15 to get it back?!  If I were the parent, I'd say, "I understand your rule about cell phones and I'll make sure my child doesn't bring it to school again, but unless you return my property to me right now I'm going to call the police and file a charge of theft."

What happens is that the teachers lock their doors once the tardy bell rings, and if a student is late to class, he or she has to go to a station, get the ID scanned, and then walk back to class with a pass. To get into the classroom, the student must display this pass in the window of the door. With two tardies, a student is let off with a warning. More tardies mean more severe punishments, the worst not being executed but by having three days of ISS. If any of you have this system implemented at your school or have heard of it, I'd be interested to hear your comments about it. I can see both its advantages and disadvantages.

Yeah, we had that when I was in high school, but the first time if you were caught, you got administrative detention which is stupid to me, but if you were caught more than once and given a tardy slip during a tardy sweep you got in school suspension. Personally, the way it was done at my school I considered it ineffective and not full-proof because you still could be allowed to come into class late with or without the tardy slip and most times teachers didn't lock their doors, they just closed them after the tardy bell ranged. Getting tardy slips for being tardy coming to school made even less sense because it was only documented as a tardy if the teacher's class you were late going to marked it as a tardy on the school's online attendance system, they could have just marked you present (which some teachers did do) instead and it wouldn't go down as a tardy. Getting 3 tardy slips being late getting to school equaled up to 1 absence and 10 absences in one schoolyear equals up to a good chance you most likely will be kicked out of school and will probably sent to an alternative school, but I know there were Seniors who missed as much as a month of school and not only stayed, but graduated too. :wacko:

I'm going to have to do a facepalm if they do execute people for being tardy...

Now I know this may sound uncomfortable for some, but execution is actually one method of punishment implemented in developing countries. In rural indian villages, it's not uncommon for students to get killed (let alone whipped) for violating rules such as refusal to listen to the teachers, failure to attend school or do work or extreme disrespect in the classroom. After all, they only have so many people living in the country..

In the CPS, we don't have demerits. In fact, I never heard of them until all of you complained about them. At my school, if you're late to a class once, you're let off with a warning. However, if you're tardy to a class twice, you get a detention. Three times, you get a Saturday School. Four times or more, you get either an ISS (in-school suspension) or OSS (out-of-school). If you have an unexcused absence (aka cutting a class), the consequences are mostly the same except that you get a detention on the first one, with the rest of the consequences adjusted accordingly.

My first detention? Back in freshman year, I locked out the biology teacher. I just intended on closing the door to be funny, so I didn't know it was locked. The class thought it was funny though, and didn't think I deserved the detention.

i loved our system. Elegantly simple. Our program was called "Justice Under God" or JUG as most referred to it as. It was assigned in units, with 3 units= 1 hour. Depending on the infraction (disrespect, dress code violation, cheating, plagiarism, etc) you'd get a certain amount of hours to be served that day, no exceptions. And they'd actually make you do work too, you couldn't just sit and drool in a classroom. Examples? Clean the bathroom floor with a scrub brush. Move 100 desks and chairs to the auditorium for exams. Rub out scuff marks in the hallways with tennis balls....you get the picture. For more serious things, such as plagiarism, you were assigned 30 units (or 10 hours) of JUG, your work was give a 0%, you had to write a letter of apology to the teacher, etc. Simple but effective system. They made you stay on the straight and narrow. I never got one unit in four years. Go Jesuits.

This is literally the exact policy my high school had before switching to the new "Tardy Eliminator" system.

To comment on some previous posts, I personally find it silly to issue demerits or referrals for forgetting your materials or not doing your homework at the high school level. Elementary school: sure. This way, these can be treated as a learning experience to prepare students for higher consequences (i.e. your grade) later in the school career. But by high school (and even middle school/junior high), if you forget your materials, that's your fault. So either borrow a pen from a friend or you're out of luck. If you don't do an assignment, you lose points or get a 0: end of story. No slips need to be issued for these small things at a higher level of education.

Most of my teachers have a tardy log that you sign, and at the end of the week its just entered in the computer as a tardy. If they did it as supposed to, they're to give you a detention, then a administrative referral. That referral results in either an ISS or OSS depending on what you've already done. Rarely do teachers assign after school detentions, but when they are given, its usually on a Friday afternoon or before school...

I worry that so much is being done on this stuff that it takes away the primary focus of education.  Besides, shouldn't most of these discipline issues be corrected by parents at a young age?  I truly believe that many of the problems in school start at home.

Sadly, the whole concept of "education" has become perverted to the point that I'm not sure it will ever recover.

That said, it's a sad but true fact that there are parents out there who leave the whole idea of child rearing to the schools.  (Of course, if the school teaches the child something objectionable to the parents who thus far have had no interest in what the child learns, the parents will raise holy hell about it, but I digress.)

I got my first real example of how differently children are raised when I started kindergarten.  Before I even entered the school for the first time, I could read and write (at a level several years ahead of my age, but that's beside the point, which is that I could read and write), I knew shapes, colors, how to tell time and use a calendar, and had a basic understanding of simple arithmetic.  So many of my classmates had little to no concept of any of this.  Granted, the kids were obviously well taken care of otherwise - they were happy, clothed, well fed, and looked after, but their parents obviously made little to no attempt to teach them anything "academic."

It disturbed me that there were classmates even into high school that had difficulty reading aloud in class.  It disturbed me that we still had to practice reading aloud in high school!  Reading classes were obligatory through the 8th grade, and oral practice gave so many 13-year-olds such a challenge.  I mean... seriously??  And people still wonder why the U.S. ranks at the bottom of industrial countries when it comes to how well educated our children are???

Holy cow, Austin, it sounds like your teachers really just hand out demerits like candy. We got demerits if we were tardy or missed class.

I don't know about you folks in college, but we don't have demerits here. All you really have to do is something really, really stupid to get thrown out of the school. We've already had at least 10 or 20 people removed from our dorm because of excessive drinking.

You'll never see any of this "demerit" stuff in college.  High school and elementary school simply teach you how to be a good and prepared student, and those habits should become second nature by the time you enter college as no one is going to remind you to attend class or bring all your supplies.  You'll be on your own at that point as you're an adult.  If you act up in a college, you'll find that security or the police will be called upon to take care of you!

Very true. In most cases, professors couldn't care less if you came in to class 5 minutes late, 30 minutes late, or skipped class altogether. I will say that some of my classes have attendance policies in which your average will drop a letter grade if you miss so many days of class.

But the most important thing to remember about college is that YOU are in control. No demerits, referrals, any of that. Disciplinary actions will either affect your grade or will involve a nice visit with the police if you decide to go to the extreme level such as drinking on campus.

That's true - the wonderful thing about college is that you're treated as an adult.  If you choose to make stupid decisions, it will affect you in the long run.  Your grades will suffer if you skip classes or don't do your homework.  If you choose to make stupid decisions that are also illegal, you'll have to deal with the police and potentially the courts, not to mention possibly being kicked out of school, losing all that money and time you've already invested.

But... no demerits for this, that, or the other, no one watching your every move... it's all up to you, for better or for worse.

If you didn't screw around, dealt with and debated with the teacher in a professional way (which is one of the core things they teach) and didn't cheat you were fine.

Curious since we were talking about discipline and schools.... What are your policies for electronic devices? When I was in public school they were completely banned. Kindles, iPods, Cell Phones, Laptops, etc. Security did random searches of classrooms and students every few weeks and if you were caught with one it was taken. First time you got it back at the end of the day, second a parent had to get it and third it became school property and kept until summer. Didn't matter if it was off, in your locker, pocket or backpack. I manged to get out of that situation by sticking my phone in my shoe. They wanded you with the metal detector but never bothered with shoes. Kinda dumb if they were trying to find weapons.

I thin the most annoying part about my high school was the tardy policy. If you were tardy you were not allowed to enter your classroom. You had to go to a table on each floor where an administrator noted your name and wrote you a pass. 3 times and you got saturday school and I think 7 was a suspension. Really sucked for morning classes.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Eric on September 27, 2011, 12:32:12 PM
When I taught, it was in private language schools, so I was pretty much on my own as to determining the rules necessary for running the class.  Also, since I had so many different groups of students in different settings, I therefore had to have many different sets of rules.

In classes with children and teenagers, the only electronic devices I allowed were electronic dictionaries/translators, the use of which was more restricted as the language level increased.  (I also allowed e-books, but, these weren't disruptive, so long as the student had the right book displayed!)  Cell phones were strictly verbotten.  If a student couldn't be trusted to not use the phone, it went in a box on my desk and he got it back at the end of class.  It would have been utterly unthinkable (and illegal under Russian law) for me to hold it beyond the end of class or demand some kind of payment (in money or otherwise) for its return.  If the student didn't want to stop using his phone and refused to surrender it, I showed him the door.  (That happened only once.)  I spoke with his parents, explained my rules, and asked them to help with a solution.  (That happened only twice, and the parents were very apologetic.)

I trusted adults a lot more, and also agreed that adults should have the right to suffer their own consequences for not paying attention.  I never once had an adult actually talk on the phone right in the classroom or make excessive noise with a phone.  If they didn't want to pay attention to me, however, that was their own problem.  Granted, it was annoying when an adult in an individual lesson used a cell phone, but I justified it this way - the adult is paying (and at a premium) for this one-on-one lesson of his own free will, and he is talking on the phone during this lesson of his own free will.  Therefore, he realizes that he is paying a lot of money to talk on the phone while I just sit there doing nothing while still earning money.

(The same happened with tardiness, whether adults or children - the meter started running at the scheduled start of class, not when the first student wandered through the door.  There was one morning adult class that started at 7:40, and my students were notorious for not showing up for up to half an hour later.  I explained to my bosses at the language school that I was getting paid for so long for just sitting around and reading the newspaper.  Their philosophy was the same as mine - if the students choose to be late, then it's their choice to pay me for sitting around and reading the newspaper!)

I also had groups of workers at their workplace, and since I was essentially the guest, and since I had no control over what happened in the workplace, I had to tolerate cell phones, tablets, PDAs, and whatever other electronic devices got used.  They were always polite about it, though.

The cell phone/electronics policy at my school seems rather lax now, except for the consequences. You can have them with you, and you can even use them during lunch, before and after school, and during passing periods. However, you can only make phone calls in the first floor during lunch and after school. Electronics can't be used in the classrooms without permission, and if your phone goes off during class, you'll get a Saturday School, and will get the device confiscates until a parent picks it up.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: WeatherWitness on September 27, 2011, 03:24:30 PM
I just found out my high school changed their policy for electronic devices. What they're doing now seems more reasonable to me. Here is a rundown on the new policy:


*Indicates a new rule

Originally, ALL electronic devices had to be turned OFF and out-of-sight for the entire school day. This policy is more lax but is more reasonable. Cell phones should not be used during class...obvious. I think they should be allowed during lunch, for example, because you just may need to text your parents for something important. I had to do this a couple of times. iPod earbuds during lunch don't seem like a problem. But in the hall, I can understand their forbidden use since it could lead to an accident if you are not paying attention. Too bad this new policy was implemented after I left, but I think it's good that they're being more reasonable. :yes:

Hi Ana! :D

To answer your question, I do think schools and getting stricter with their policies. Obviously things have happened in which these policies have to be put into place. Some of them are reasonable; for example, I can't imagine what a classroom environment would be like if no cell phone rule was put in place at the high school level. In college, it is often very distracting to see students pull out their phones to text while a professor is giving a lecture. In a smaller classroom setting in high school, I think it would be worse. This day in age has just gotten so attracted to the cell phone. I know this obviously wouldn't have been a problem a decade ago.

However, getting demerits for things like forgetting your pencil or excessive talking or sneezing (WTF?!?!), those are WAY out of line. :club:

I can't imagine how it's not outright illegal.

Yes, schools have the right to act as parent in proxy when the students are in their care, but this has strict, if not always fully defined, limits.  Holding property belonging to or otherwise in the custody of the student until money is paid can not, in my mind, be considered a right of a parent in proxy by any stretch of the imagination.  Holding it until the end of class or until a parent retrieves it - that's reasonable to avoid disruption during class time without the ultimate deprivation of ownership or use of said object.  But forcing the parent to pay any sum of money to retrieve that property - absolutely not.  The school is not a law enforcement agency and has no right of permanent confiscation.  Anything illegal item can be dealt with by calling the police, since the police have the right to confiscate property, but schools... not according to any law I'm aware of.  It's literally holding a cell phone, for example, for ransom.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Eric on September 28, 2011, 12:11:40 AM
Addendum:

As I mentioned earlier, many of the students I taught were under the age of 18.  While in my class, and, thus, under my care, I had the responsibility to keep them safe from harm, but, under Russian law, that was the extent of my proxy rights and responsibilities in the absence of the students' parents.  As the teacher, I had the right to require students to not use their cell phones, and the most I could do was to deprive them of the right to use it during class by having it put in a box if they absolutely couldn't control themselves, but it was returned immediately at the end of class.  If I had dared held it beyond the end of class or demanded some kind of payment for its return, I would have been arrested and charged with criminal theft of property.

I honestly can't understand how schools in the U.S. are allowed to get away with this.  Is criminal law regarding theft, or the rights of schools as parent in proxy, really that different between Russia and the United States?

Honestly, schools need to be a bit more lenient to cellphones as it has impacted our society so much. Before school, during lunch, and after school are good times to use it. Even for those that have to use them in case of emergency is perfect. My high school (where I graduated from) were super duper strict with cellphones. It was borderline NO CELLPHONES ALLOWED. Since my school was an open campus, students cannot use their cellphones within 20 or so feet on campus. Which is like... a block from the school. idk. ANYWAYS, yeah, if you're caught with your cellphone, even if you're just outside the gym, they'll take it with no question and give you detention. Yeah, my high school was that strict, and I find that unfair. :( I'm not sure if this rule still exists, seeing that I graduated 3 or so years ago.

Sorry, anyway, my opinion on cell phones is pretty much what Ana said. I think before school, after school, and during lunch are the appropriate times to use them just in case an emergency needs to be dealt with. Honestly, it would be much easier to pull out my cell phone than go to a teacher or the office and ask to use their phone. Plus, teachers were often reluctant about letting us use their phones. That was often in big, bold letters on the syllabus: DO NOT ASK TO USE THE TEACHER'S PHONE. I don't know why.

Ana, the policy at your high school sounds very strict. I can't believe even if you were outside the building that your device would be confiscated and you would get in trouble for it!!! However, my high school was not an open campus, so maybe this is why that rule seems a little extreme.

Home from school. The same girl that always cheats was talking in the middle of the lesson about "Teen Mom," and why she likes it. Guess who gets a demerit for asking her to stop? None other than...

ME!  :biggrin:

Austin, perhaps your other classmates have complained to the teacher about you always telling on others.  It's not your job to tell your classmates what to do even if they are wrong.  You're overstepping your boundaries here in class.  It's up to the teacher to call out on those that are doing something wrong as he or she has the authority over you and your classmates.  If you have a problem with how things are being handled, wait until after the end of class to politely talk to the teacher in private about the situation.  Remember, you're interrupting class as well when you call out the teacher to make the girl stop talking during the middle of a lesson.

I agree with the few that say cell phones should not be used in schools.  As Tyler said, you are there to learn.  It is very distracting when someone is sitting there texting away in the middle of a lecture.

On another note, I begin forecasting the weather for the school's newscast next Wednesday.  Did a dry run last week and it went well.  Downside: makeup. And I only get to do it twice a month.  Better than nothing.

Congratulations!  That's what I did every day for seven years... without makeup.  Boy, those studio lights do make a person look tired.  And old.  And cranky.  Or maybe it's just a natural reaction from sitting under such hot lights.  :)

Do you get a map?  Graphics of any kind?  I had a map, graphics, a clicker... the whole nine yards.  Granted, it was difficult before they got me a clip-on mic... having to hold the microphone in one hand and the clicker in the other, I had to resort to writing my notes on a cue card just so I could keep track of everything.  :)

Congratulations, wxmediafan! I'm doing the same thing, working the Wednesday shifts for our weather show. We have a green screen, the cameras, the lights, the graphics, the soundboard, and everything else. And we have a team of 2 (which is what I'm on) making the on-show graphics on TruVu. I'm slowly getting better at working with WSI, but it's not an easy program to learn.

The cell phone/electronics policy at my school seems rather lax now, except for the consequences. You can have them with you, and you can even use them during lunch, before and after school, and during passing periods. However, you can only make phone calls in the first floor during lunch and after school. Electronics can't be used in the classrooms without permission, and if your phone goes off during class, you'll get a Saturday School, and will get the device confiscates until a parent picks it up.
Seems like a fair compromise!

Cell phones don't belong in school. They should be off at all times. You are there to learn.

They should never be allowed on in the classroom but I think using them in the hallway or at lunch is ok!

Agreed. Most common vehicle/method for cheating.
Is it really though? It seems a lot easier and less suspicious to lean over and look at someones answers. I find it hard to believe a teacher couldn't figure it out. Its pretty obvious when someone is staring at their pants texting or googling a question. :P

For those of you who are in classes with those who are cheating just know that you are actually learning the material and are smarter than the others. You can't get through life or school cheating forever. At some point it will catch up with them

Austin, I've found that practice and experience are the best tools available to you when learning how to drive.  I've already had to deal with driving beside farm tractors in the middle of nowhere to crazy city traffic in New York.  You'll learn a lot as you go, but it'll all be worth the hassle to get that license.

Well, if we all drove the "Texas way," we would probably never want to get in another vehicle again. Where do I begin? Slow drivers in left lanes, lack of turn signals, etc...

And as far as traffic goes, well, let's just say that in Dallas a new interchange was being built a few years ago to relieve congestion. The product? WORSE traffic!!! The roads and the drivers in Texas has a lot to be desired.

Traffic is a nightmare here, it's becoming a serious crisis that now our mayor and governor wants to get fixed as soon as next year with a transportation project bill that will allow for a regional rail system to be built, a light rail system to run through parts of downtown Atlanta, and improving the MARTA rail system which just jacked up bus/rail fares to $2.50 today. They only go out 50 miles! How does that justify a 2.50 fare? I hope voters approve it, a lot of these projects are being funded on penny sales taxes. I bet everyone wishes we still had those trolleys that ran through the entire city, but they dismantled them well back into the 60's. I'm sure that would have cut back on the enormous amount of car traffic around here if they had of worked on modernizing and improving them.

I think I-10 through Bonifay/Pensacola/Tallahassee goes at about 70 or 80. It has been about a year since we've been on the istate.

I panicked the first time because...
1. It was my first time
2. I only have driven a go-kart
3. I had to go through a very... small fence
4. The steering wheel was one of those you had to turn a thousand times to go the direction you want
5. DUDE, I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE PASSENGER RAGE.

Next weekend. I'm afraid.

For those who like to keep up on the newest Fall TV shows, we have our first casualty, "The Playboy Club" which was cancelled from NBC after 3 episodes due to low ratings and amid a lot of controversy revolving around the show's concept.
http://tv.yahoo.com/slideshow/773/photos/1?nc (http://tv.yahoo.com/slideshow/773/photos/1?nc)

EDIT: While mentioning Fall TV shows in trouble, The Simpson may be in limbo with FOX to be cancelled over yet another salary dispute, FOX is asking the voice actors to cut their pay by nearly half (45%) of what they are making now. If no deal is made soon, the show will abruptly end in Spring 2012. That is outrageous imo. They volunteered to give up 30%, why be greedy and ask for more? <_<

I think you have it the opposite way, lol. The accents all sound very similar, except the Brooklyn accent is more distinct and thicker than those from Manhattan and the other places you mentioned. We pronounce our "er's" as "a's". Brooklynites speak it with more force. Another reason why I think I'm having this accent is because most of the people living in the area speak with a New York accent, and so do my professors. My math professor (who I talk to to the most considering my love for math...) speaks with a heavy New York accent and I'm basically forced to listen to everything she says so I can understand the concepts and skills in class. So, in a way I have not only learned the concepts that she has showed me but her accent, too. :P

It's a known fact that you will pick up accents of the region if you stay there long enough.  Younger people will pick these up faster as well.  You're trying to fit in with everyone in your area, so you will subconsciously try to mimic what you hear.

I've received my Kindle! I ordered the basic, generic Kindle ($79 w/ads), and I love it. It has inspired me to read more. I've already improvised a booklight for it, considering it does not have a backlight on it. It states it has about 1 1/4gb of usable memory once you add the dictionary onto it. Charging is fast, on about a half-charge it takes not even thirty minutes to hit full charge.

Despite how the reviews speak on Amazon.com, the newspapers you can buy or subscribe to are good. They aren't the greatest in the world, compared to the real thing, but hey - it at least has pictures and a nav menu.

Books, I find them to be overpriced. Most, if you'll look, are more than the paperback book. Their read quality is dependent on how well the publisher converted the formats. I've come across some doozie samples, but most are good quality. (That is something I need to make clear about Kindle books - DOWNLOAD THE SAMPLE FIRST, and with Kindle newspapers - DON'T IMMEDIATELY SUBSCRIBE, BUY THE CURRENT ISSUE.

Kindle's platform is a modified Java framework; therefore, you should be prepared for a few freeze ups or slow downs, but all-in-all, it is pretty fast.

Whispernet - very fast. If you have the Kindle in a Wi-Fi area (and for the models that have 3G), you'll get it within around 10 to 20 seconds, and that is slow. I get mine immediately.

Finally, I do have to say the unit is really light, somewhat around a regular (small) paperback. It has five controls, the back, keyboard, 5-Way D-Pad, menu, and home buttons. Very easy to use (with the on-screen keyboard being the exception to this). Charging is simple - put the Kindle in screensaver mode and hook it up. To continue reading or browsing while charging, you must "eject" the Kindle from the computer. No, you don't unplug it, you go to the USB controls and eject the "AMAZON KINDLE." You have an option to set a password, but I advise making it simple unless you have all day to enter it on the God-awful on-screen keyboard. If you have .PDF or .DOCX/.DOC files, you can email them to the Kindle - but be sure it is in your "Approved Senders" list on Amazon (your email used for Amazon will work fine, since it will permanently be in the senders list.

Unrelated: Book/Paper Recommendations
So far, I've come across about twenty sample books I didn't care for, or were poorly transferred to the Kindle format. I have a few I like, and I'd like to share.

I bought my Kindle 2 with 3G connection at the beginning of last year, and I absolutely love it!    Not only does it give me access to so much reading material - much more than I ever could have had without it - but it's also my internet connection when I travel and it keeps me entertained with all those word and logic games available for it, too.  :)

I wasn't able to get on yesterday or Saturday, but I'd like to wish my mom a happy birthday!  :wave:

I also needed to make an announcement about my website, for those who often visit.
We're in the middle of a lot of maintenance, with trying to get a new index page up and whatnot. For now, we have a generic index, and it will likely remain that way until I get my new index image finished and get everything ready. The Radar and Alerts pages will not change, along with our independent offices. Our forum is experiencing difficulties loading and producing images on other computers, so we are back on our default theme and in maintenance mode. It seems as if a lot is falling apart, but we're getting it all fixed.

If you'd like to view the radar or alerts, click below. We need error reports.

Anyways, who here thinks this system that is passing through FL/GA/AL is really a TD/TS? I know that I do...

I just hopped into my cPanel. GR3 and Interwarn use a load of bandwidth.
FTP from both were 1.41gB for the total month of October (OCT 1 at 12AM CT to present minute).
FTP from both were 1.64gB for the total month of September (unsure dates, about 15).

My HTTP usage for the main site was only 6.89mB for this total month, with the barebones index. HTTP for last month was 87.69mB.

Total usage for this month has been 1486.79mB and counting.

Don't you love how you're taking an exam, and all of a sudden you panic and blank out? As a result, you forget the questions when you knew how to do them before in class and/or in the homework. I have such terrible test anxiety, taking exams has been difficult for me now. It's not really the time that's the cause but just the whole exam setting. I can't seem to handle it anymore.

Have you considered talking to your professor about a specialized test-taking environment, or an extended test-taking time period? That could really help you out.

Yeah, this happened while I was taking my sociology and algebra exams. I did take them under extended test-taking but I have terrible anxiety where I just can't look at exams. I failed all my exams in all my classes so far, but I am doing very well with the quizzes and homework, so I really want to fix that. :/

Yikes!  If you fail the exams, it, unfortunately, doesn't matter how well you do with everything else.

Obviously, if you're doing well with the material in class and at home, there's not really a problem with your absorption and understanding of it.  It seems like it really is your fear of exams is causing you this problem.

I would also recommend that you talk this over with your professors, but, in addition, your school probably has some counselling and/or mental health services that you should take advantage of.  If anyone can help you with your test anxiety, they can.

Most importantly, though - GET HELP ASAP!  Exams count for such a huge portion of your final grade that you won't want to go too long getting bad results on them before you just fail out of college altogether.

Post by: WeatherWitness on October 11, 2011, 12:47:53 AM
Going with what Eric said, you need to seek help immediately if you are suffering from extreme test anxiety. It's someone's job to be able to help you with that.


Also, welcome back Curt! It's nice to see some long-time inactive members, such as you and Chazz, drop by for a visit. :)

I'm not quite an expert with AMD CPU's/processors, but I do know that AMD is known to have less system crashes - and I can tell you that. I had several computers with Intel inside (literally), and they crashed usually every month. This was just running a server environment. I've only had to have two AMD computers - one server and one PC. The server crashed once. The PC crashed whenever I put bullcrap on it (not literally).

I knew I was forgetting something.
Compatibility.
Many devices and software will not work on AMD or 64bit systems. Why? The computer is too fast for them. I don't go for either AMD or Intel, they're both good hardware providers. Get what you need is my philosophy.

Aside from this conversation, I have a feeling I might record some LF videos soon... but they won't be uploaded until after next weekend when I get some Intellistar and Weatherscan videos.

Go for the Dell. Looks better than the HP.

But Martin's right, though. You should look for a computer with a better cpu than the one those computers have. Yeah it may cost a little more, but it'll be worth it.

Alex, how many videos did your channel have? If you had a ton of emulations and LOT8 videos with music on them, Youtube probably had a good reason to knock the account out. Multiple 3rd party copyright violations almost took me down on Youtube, before I deleted a lot of my videos.

Hey guys! I have been lovingly watching these past few days but lurking since I didn't have too much time. I've been busy with mid-terms, doctor appointments, projects, Irene cleanup/fixing (STILL!!!) and more. :P I found out I had a back injury from swimming years ago that has gotten worse so I am going to a chiropractor multiple times a week for it. Not a big deal but time consuming.

One exciting thing for me anyways is that I leave tomorrow to go to the National Weather Association Conference in Birmingham, AL until Tuesday. Looking forward to being with a whole bunch of weather geeks :D :D
Hope you enjoy your time at the conference!  I also hope you can get your back pain relieved soon.

I'm jealous, Martin. If I was back home, I would definitely be going there as well.

Ironically, as Martin and Curt say hello, I'll be gone the weekend after next, as I will be heading down to Minneapolis for the weekend before the notorious Northern Plain winter renders any travel impossible (that might be a slight exaggeration). Anyone got any ideas of what to see down there besides the Mall of America?

I'm going to Las Vegas for winter break. Anyone know how the weather is like down at Sin City during that time? I would hope the heat is not too unbearable.

Also, remember I said I was failing my exams? Well, my sociology professor gave a HUGE curve. Huge, as in 30 points, so now my 58 on the sociology midterm has gone up to an 88.  :biggrin:

I know this is random, but I find it funny how you're able to say you're heading down to Minneapolis. For me, it would be WAY UP. :P

Seems I'm having the same problems as everybody else. I don't really get it much on big tests, but it's the little quizzes I have to worry about. I have many 40's and 50's because of test anxiety - I just blackout on all the info I know. I got an 80 on a spelling/vocab quiz because I blacked out on one answer, which consequently led to three others. My teachers are of no help, our principal is being a flake right now, and my mom has helped me as much as she can. I've been anxious and nervous for my whole life - I think I was born anxious (joke).

Aside from school, I'm excited to announce that tomorrow will officially be the opening of our winter division - taking the same place of the tropics. We are making a new subdomain (winter.skywarnal.com), as well. We so far have two forecasters (myself and Ben Appleby, the Office Coordinator of West Central ALWX). We're trying to recruit some people to write for different divisions, so that means we only need about three more people, considering we only are writing for the 48 State CONUS. If you are interested, email me here or here.

Finally, I have a new small emulation I'm announcing that will only be a one-time effort. Afterwards, I'm working on the big one for winter. Anyone have location suggestions or emulation ideas? I'll be accepting these until November 1.

I actually started drawing states from Maine southwards and eventually west. If anything, the West is the most disproportional. I'll change things around. There are quite a few mistakes: Texas just looks bad, the Midwest states are stretched a bit, Delaware turned into a giant black marker scribble, and Alabama is a bit too fat. I'll work on it this weekend and post the second draft.

Hey guys, have a curious question -

Do you guys ever feel worried or concerned when you're traveling on a bridge? I get goosebumps every time I commute from New York, mainly because I'm on the George Washington Bridge and I always think about the "what if.." scenario if something happened while I was on the bridge. Ya know, the mighty Hudson River and a 300+ foot tall bridge is the only thing that separates each other and it does worry you in a way..

While driving, no. If I was walking, then yes. I guess it's safe to say I have a fear of heights because I can't seem to lean on the rail of a bridge or platform without feeling an extremely tight feeling in my stomach. :(

According to Paul's little explanation on weather.com, last night was not the only night to see the Aurora Borealis; supposedly the lights' far stretch south was going to continue for awhile. But it's a clear night tonight, and I don't see anything. :no: Maybe I am too far south.

Sometimes I will never understand how institutions spend their money. First of all, Snooki got paid $32,000 recently to speak at Rutgers (about something unrelated to education).  Then the president, who is scheduled to resign due to a scandal is getting his salary hiked up 10%. This infuriates me beyond proportion. The tuition is increasing every year and we pay high campus fees as part of our term bill , only to go for this? It would be nice if they can remodel the bathrooms or even improve some of the food choices offered at the 4 dining halls.

So excited about @wxgeekpro V 2.0 for iOS. This app is going to rock. Conservative estimate on release early 2012..but it could be earlier.
Quote
If u have or buy version 1.2 before then, of course upgrade will be FREE. Price will be higher for version 2.0 so makes sense to buy now.

Also, I'm waiting for the next set of forecast models coming up... We're gonna make some graphics tonight and tomorrow then the main show will be tomorrow at 7pm CT on livestream.com/alabamaweather and SKYWARNAL Live will succeed that at tinychat.com/skywarnal at 8:30pm CT. This will be our first SKYWARNAL Live since earlier this year when we terminated it due to low viewership. We'll see how things go until after Christmas, then we'll determine if we will keep going or not. Silly me - forgot to tell you about SKYWARNAL Live. We just chat and do random things. We usually have a playlist of that weeks selected songs.

Finally, our site will be going down for code modification to make the site safer to use and a total facelift (for some areas). Areas under maintenance will be password protected. I have seven slots open for beta testers - message me if you'd like access.

This week has been a nightmare for me.  My TV just broke, I had a very difficult past couple shifts at work due to correcting so many mistakes from other co-workers, and I'm seeing a few people here doing some pointless arguing.  I would advise you all to please watch it as I'm not in a good mood at all, and I may not show the same tolerance I normally can when I'm calm and feeling okay.

My 5-year-old HD TV began to constantly start, shut down, and restart in the past few days.  Then, it suddenly blared a loud white static noise with flashing green bars dancing around the screen this morning when I tried to turn it on.  The only way I could get the deafening noise to stop was to unplug the TV, and my cable box was off the whole time.

Really? All the televisions I've owned have lasted at least 10-15 years (still have one from 1988 that works), unless LCD/Plasma sets typically have shorter lives than CRTs...

No, the real factor is that today's appliances are made with cheaper parts and not put together with higher quality compared to past decades.  For example, I have a small Sharp microwave that my mom gave me when I began living in apartments.  It's 20 years old, and it still works perfectly.  Things just aren't made like they used to be, and I find it pretty sad.

Thanks for the concerns, everyone.  It just hasn't been my week. :(

Tectonic plate activity has increased over the past decade. Earthquakes are common, but notice how we only get an average 1 magnitude 8+ quake a year. December, typically is the most common month for earthquakes because that's around the timeframe when the earth's crust starts to buckle up.

Also seeing what happened in Japan earlier this year, it's very possible that there's increasing media coverage because people have a lot to learn from Japan, earlier this year.

It turns out my older TV was only 3.5 years old, not 5 as I originally stated after finding the receipt for it yesterday.  The 3-year protection plan from Circuit City had just expired a few months ago, and Circuit City isn't exactly easy to reach right now.  Could I have been any more unlucky last week?  Thankfully, I found a new and better TV at Best Buy today.  I posted the details of it in the "What is the last thing you bought?" thread.

Going a little OT and all over the place here...

When you mentioned "Circuit City," I thought they had gone out of business, but I Googled them, and they supposedly still have a website.  Well then I Googled "Circuit City Going Out of Business," found this YouTube video, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the production music that was used for TWC's "First Day of Fall" intro a long while back.  I know this is all random, but I thought it was an interesting find. :P

I wake up and the thought that runs through my mind when I check my email is... WTF?

I bought an eBay item yesterday for $39.99, however, this morning my payment was refunded. PayPal still hasn't sent the  :censored: money back to my card, it isn't even showing up as a pre-auth hold. Where is my money? Limbo? I sent the seller a message about it... he has 99% feedback and runs a good store. I'm pissed for two reasons: (1) I wanted my freaking item, (2) If I am not getting the item, I want my freaking money PAYPAL...

Lesson learned here:
NEVER EVER USE PAYPAL.

I hope you feel better soon Zach. :( I hate getting sick, It takes me forever to shake off.
I don't get sick as often as I used to, but when I do on a scale of 1-10 the intensity level is 100. In the past couple of years whenever my niece gets sick and comes over, after she leaves I get sick. Once she had the stomach virus and was throwing up, you can draw your own conclusions on what happened to me later that night.... <_< :itsok:

Ah, the real transition into late fall and winter...gotta get ready for those 6:30 sunrises/sunsets.  Honestly, why was the end of Daylight Savings pushed back just one week later? :wacko: I know they wanted to make Daylight Savings longer, but pushing the end date back by just one week and moving the start date up by just a couple of weeks doesn't really make a huge difference.

I guess they figure that any difference is better than no difference.  My beloved Russia decided to stay on summer time permanently.  Daylight savings time has been very controversial in Russia and the USSR, and has been an on again, off again thing over the decades.  Considering how far north Russia is, I think this is a good change.  The mornings will be darker longer, but the afternoons (not the evenings - the afternoons!) will be a little bit brighter.  :)

LOTS of earthquakes this year. :blink:  One occured in Oklahoma City early Saturday morning around 2:12 am.  Then another occured around 11 pm tonight.  I am not sure if it was another "full" one or just an aftershock.

Unfortunately, I was asleep and missed the one from earlier this morning.  However, although I was not inside, I was walking close to my dorm building and heard a horrible "crackling" of bricks, then saw everyone running outside.  I couldn't say I really felt anything (because I was walking at a rather quick pace), but I could hear the building shaking.  Scary stuff.

LOTS of earthquakes this year. :blink:  One occured in Oklahoma City early Saturday morning around 2:12 am.  Then another occured around 11 pm tonight.  I am not sure if it was another "full" one or just an aftershock.

You're just having a large number of aftershocks.  The 2:12 AM earthquake is the main one that's causing everything here.  It has been a strange year indeed for earthquakes.

So I guess aftershocks can be stronger than the real thing? Because the aftershock tonight was reported to be a 5.6 magnitude. The one at 2:12 AM Saturday was 4.8. :thinking:

No, this is not an aftershock.  If anything, you may have had precursor tremors before the actual one occurring now.  I suggest any earthquake talk for OK be taken to the new topic that was just created.

Hey all.  Hope you are all doing well.  I haven't been around much due to :( :( school consuming my life. 
For the last couple of months I have been doing the weather for my school's television station.  I was so nervous the first time I did it (of course, who wouldn't be) but it has been great!.  So,  I would like your feedback on my performance.  This is my third time doing it.  There is one point where I really screwed up and sounded like an idiot haha.  But just let me know what you think..you don't have to be constructive..haha.

For example, today in Grand Forks, they were calling for breezy conditions and mostly sunny skies...but this afternoon skies turned quickly overcast and we've had snow showers on and off all day.

Plenty of times. On Christmas Day 2007, the forecast was for sunny skies and temps in the 50s, instead we got a COLD, raw heavy rain with temperatures in the 40s, there was also some sleet and thunder at the onslaught of the event.

One day back in June 2009 there was a forecast for sunny/hot conditions. Around 1pm the SPC issued a PDS Severe T'Storm Watch. This one still baffles me, we saw thunderstorms, but not to warrant the watch a Particularly Dangerous Situation!  :wacko:

I remember that day, we only had a regular t'storm watch (or a tornado watch, I can't remember) but, the SPC saw what that system did in IL, IN, and KY and issued that PDS watch. Then the derecho completely fizzled out once it left Kentucky.

Got my report card back - I had the highest grades within the 7th-9th grade classes. B's and C's.

My grandfather is in the hospital because he has a heart blockage and has to have a stint put in tonight.

Finally, I'm bored as all getout. All of my 360 games have been taken and sold and I have the 360 and MW3 (secretly) at a (confidential) location. MW3 is the best game in the COD franchise, the next being the original MW. MW2 was utter crap with the multiplayer and the campaign was too hard and too stupid. MW3 is just right. The MP was revamped little, but there aren't any hacks available - and that makes most of the gaming community happy, including me.

Anybody have anything to tell me to do to waste time? I've done everything; busted out the PS2 and Wii, watched TV, fixed my security camera, completely re-arranged my room, and even played with the old toy army sets. The internet bores me. iPod is entertaining for a short while. I can't play the 360. I can't ride the 4-wheeler, or even take my next driving lesson. I'M BORED.

I simply stated how long it's been since I registered here to come up with the 1,000 days.  However, you're talking about online time.  That's the total amount of time you have actually been online on the forum.  When you sign off, the clock stops and will not continue until you sign on again.

You are correct.  I've been a member for over 1,000 days, but I've only been on the site actively for over 52 days.  There's no way I could be online that long with all I have to do in real life. ;)

Don't mind at all. I'm out at the airport constantly up here, since I'm an aviation/meteorology major, so I'd like a job close to the school's branch of the airport. Also, despite a few squabbles in the news, I have tremendous respect for the agency and i feel I would be at least doing my part to protect the country (although grand forks probably isnt high on the terrorist list).

I attend high school in SC (bleh, terrible education system) and live in Berkeley County. I'm an admin at 'The Weather Center Organization' and have planned to become a meteorologist myself, looking to get a masters degree once I go to college.

I never thought this day would come, but a PC of mine had a power supply unit die overnight. That bad thing is, it was my server PC that died, so my web server and my IRC server may be down for a few days. :(

At least power supplies can be replaced. Hope you get that resolved though.

Who all went out to Black Friday today? I went to WalMart and the local Exchange. Here is a video I took at the exchange. Kinda hard to tell anything, but I really wasn't supposed to record anything (I was concealing the camera). Any troubles you have?

I didn't go out this year. This was the first time in about five years that I didn't. There just wasn't anything I really wanted. The only thing I contemplated was a Kinect for $99 but I can get that online. Although I kinda missed camping out though, it's always a fun experience.

All this time off has completely thrown off my sleep schedule, during the week I usually go to bet about midnight to get up around 7. Now I'm going to bed at 3-4AM and waking up at noon... this isn't good...  :P

Well, I didn't go either, but I did consider Black Friday a success here and back home, since there were no reports of anyone getting trampled to death. :wacko:

I don't think any deal would entice me to do much shopping on Black Friday given all the crowds and hassle.  I'll wait until it's much calmer, and I could probably get something for almost the same value.

One more day until its back to High School. This break has been nice, but I realized I had too much time to myself in these past few days with nothing to do. I'm kinda glad to go back now. Didn't go black Friday shopping either, way too many people for that lol.

I think I just go to get PO'ed. Why? Meet me in person   :bleh:
I also have to agree with Donovan's statement. I'd rather go ahead and go on back so I can go ahead and get to my Christmas break which is close to 3 weeks.

Trying to go to Black Friday deals is like going on a suicide mission. People literally lose what remaining ounce of their minds they have left over things they could easily get online (sometimes better exclusive deals). Just like that lady I heard pepper sprayed 20 people including children in a Los Angeles Walmart and someone in NC shooting at a mall there. Sheesh, it's not that freakin' serious or necessary.

I decided to try it this year for fun. Went to Best Buy at midnight and picked up a 250gb Xbox 360 for $180 and a $100 iTunes card for $80. Then I went over to Target for some things for the house on sale. Next was Bed Bath and Beyond for some good deals on K-cups. At 4am I went over to Sears for some deals on power tools. At 5am I made runs to The Home Depot, Lowes, Macy's and Rite Aid. Got me a nice leather coat from Macys for $99 marked down from $550.

I ended up getting home around 9am and slept the rest of the day :P One thing I will say is that the majority of the people I chatted with were extremely nice. Glad I didn't run into any crazies.

Double Post, sorry.

Well this Monday has already started on a bad foot. Didn't get much sleep at all last night and then was awakened from what little sleep I had by Flu like symptoms (will spare you the details). Its nerve-racking because I've been sick at least 3-4 times since the start of the month. Hoping Today goes well; happy that I'll be receiving rain tonight (1-2").

North Dakota residents are either amazingly tolerant of cold weather, or they're just plain stupid. On a day when the temperature was around 9, I saw four people wearing a t-shirt, athletic shorts, and dare I say it: flip-flops.

Hey, that's better than being at 70 degrees... At least that feels more Christmasy than what it is here. :(

Looks like our city and the GADOT is going to be a lot more prepared for this upcoming winter (I alluded to this one one of my last fanart pictures) They bought 40 additional snowplows and 24 Salt/Sand trucks. They don't want a repeat of January again where most of us were stuck inside for an entire week.  :no:

* I know noone here has said this, but to make it clear, the several inches of snow wasn't the problem, they actually do a pretty decent job with that, it was the very thick layer of ice that accumulated on top of the snow. When I tried to measure the snow in my frontyard I had to use the ruler to beat on the ice so I could get down to it.

Snow actually is much easier to drive on. Hopefully those trucks help but in cases like that my area doesn't even bother with side roads/residential areas. Too much of a risk to get trucks into areas with lots of on street parking. Guess the best they can do is work on the main roads.

I know, that's why I mentioned that they do pretty well when it's an all snow event, it's the ice that causes the chaos for them to keep the interstates clear. In the case of the January 9/10 2011 snowstorm, it was mainly heavy snow/sleet, but at the very end as the storm was departing it changed over to freezing drizzle building a thick glaze on top of the snow, to make matters worse, the snow when it first started caused whiteout conditions so quite a few drivers who were on I-20, I-75/85, or 285 had to abandon their cars and walk home which only hindered the cleanup process further because the trucks had to maneuver around the scattered cars until either the owners came back for them or they were towed out of the way. It also didn't help that the GADOT refused to clean major streets within Atlanta because of some BS about them not being state owned roadways. They are partly to blame for our city being shutdown for an entire week and why our mayor had to take matters into his own hands and make calls for snow plows/salt trucks to be brought in from other states mostly from the Midwest Region help us out. There was a delay in that also because the GADOT had to authorize this move. :wall:

It may have been a bad storm economically and an inconvenience for those of us who missed a week of school and work, but at least the GADOT and Atlanta learned a hard lesson and woke up to realize that just because were in the south that doesn't mean we can't be hit hard and everything will just melt overnight so we have to be prepared for the worse and hope for the best. I was also happy to hear yesterday that they are building 7 more garages to help cut back on trip times to refill on salt and sand in the most affected areas across the city.  :yes:

EDIT: Wow, I gotta stop making these long posts, I have a bad habit of doing that. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a writer so I tend to go on and on when I'm typing my thoughts. I said more in this post than I would if you were actually talking to me. :P

"Don't Blame the Meteorologist" was a well put together video, I like it!

My first semester as a transfer student at the university is finally over.  It was the toughest semester yet, and I am REALLY looking forward to 5 weeks off.  This is my longest break since high school, so I can't wait!

I know many other schools have finals this upcoming week, so if you are included in that I wish you the best of luck!  You're almost there!

It's also a school I once considered for undergraduate studies as I took a tour of the campus.

I could add so many more misconceptions to that video, Matthew.  Here's a good one:  "It's easy to make a forecast, so why do we need you?"  Oh, if only you knew how many variables you have to consider just to nail the low temperature for tonight, and today's models still do not accurately account for a rather alarming number of those!  Imagine how much more complex it gets when we add precipitation.  The reality is that you're seeing the huge gap in education here, and it's something that needs to be addressed soon as weather becomes an even bigger factor in our technological society.

It's not easy. I get annoyed with some people who say it's simply looking at a model. Well, no, not really, because models aren't 100% accurate. You actually have to know the various elements of meteorology and determine whether the models actually make a lick of sense...in addition to looking at elements that models overlook (fresh snow cover, for example).

Just finished my last flight of the semester: a cross country from Grand Forks to Park Rapids to Bemidji and back into North Dakota. It was kinda weird to take off from Grand Forks, where there was no snow and the temp was around 40 (HOT by our standards at this time of year), to going to Minnesota and seeing snow on the ground, and temps barely at 30.

And speaking of inactive members, has anyone heard from or seen Jesse recently?  I am not trying to stalk him or anything, but I've noticed he hasn't posted here in over two months.  Obviously, we all get caught up in things, but since he was such an active member before and didn't formally announce a departure, I just want to make sure he's alright.  (Another reason I am curious is because he used to be the one who put up the holiday logos, but that job is now done by Martin.)

Speaking of that, I just found out a couple weeks ago that my meteorology program at my school does not offer forecasting courses.  Some of the alum have said they didn't learn until their first job or at their internship; I'm definitely going to have my eyes and ears open with this internship.  I mean, really?  You're not going to teach future meteorologists how to forecast?  Is this normal?  Do you just take what you've learned about meteorology and the atmosphere and then apply it to the forecasting models?

Well, do they call the program Meteorology or Broadcast Meteorology? If it's just meteorology, I'm surprised to hear that they don't offer a forecasting course. My school offers it; in fact, if you want an internship with any forecasting group in town (the NWS or a company called Meridian are popular here), you have to pass that class in order to be eligible.

If it's Broadcast Meteorology, then I'm not sure if the same criteria applies. I'm not exactly knowledgable in that, though.

If your meteorology program is just considered Broadcast, then I would suspect that no forecasting courses are offered because broadcast relies heavily on communication as compared to actual forecasting.  I bet you have to take some courses in communication, right?

Speaking of that, I just found out a couple weeks ago that my meteorology program at my school does not offer forecasting courses.  Some of the alum have said they didn't learn until their first job or at their internship; I'm definitely going to have my eyes and ears open with this internship.  I mean, really?  You're not going to teach future meteorologists how to forecast?  Is this normal?  Do you just take what you've learned about meteorology and the atmosphere and then apply it to the forecasting models?
Operational and broadcast meteorology are different but I thought for sure a broadcast curriculum would include some basic forecasting. Most of the ones I have looked at do. Very interesting none are included at your school.

I am not in a broadcast curriculum.  It is strictly meteorology, which also surprises me that they don't have a class for strictly broadcasting.  Like I said before, several alum said they didn't learn to forecasting until an internship or their first job, kind of upsetting if you ask me.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. :no:  Here at Oklahoma, they will offer the "forecasting" classes in the normal curriculum.  And if you want to become a broadcast meteorologist, then you can get a minor in broadcast meteorology by working with the College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

I certainly had a fun time at school this evening.. my school had their annual talent show tonight, and I was one of the people helping at the event by being backstage controlling the curtains.. others were up in the auditorium's booth controlling the lighting and the sound, and we used two-way radios to stay in contact between both sides.

That must have been fun! My school had our Christmas production today and I was selected to record the event from our balcony for video production/media technology class. It was quite a bit of fun and having the aerial perspective of the entire even was nice.

Likely the ASOS or AWOS station had a malfunctioning thermometer and cloud base detector at that time. Hopefully the station got repaired.

We really didn't have any deep freezes here until last last month... usually we'd start getting freezes around mid-late October. Even now, we've still been above average with temperatures 45-60°, with occasional brief cold spells. Lows haven't gotten much below freezing, also above average.

A lot of factors right now are making it a mild winter for all of us, and La Niña is only one part of the story.  I don't see this trend ending soon either, but we'll have to watch for any sudden shifts later in the winter.

Grand Forks has been asking where the heck winter has gone. We've been above 30 degrees quite a few times this year, well above average, and there has been only one snowfall, and less than one inch at that. We have a high of 47 forecast for tomorrow, which could easily break some records.

It looks like the Christmas forecast for Daytona Beach has improved: party cloudy and in the mid 70s.  That's a lot better than what the forecast was just a few days ago: rainy and mid-upper 50s.  :)

I can't really complain. Besides the freak pre-Halloween snowstorm, I don't see this winter being any worse than last year or 2009. New Brunswick hit 58 on Thursday and even yesterday wasn't very chilly either, I only had to wear a sweatshirt. Typically, I'd be wearing a heavy coat and several layers in mid December..but thankfully I don't have to do that yet. January, usually our coldest month, might be a different story :P
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: TWCCraig on December 17, 2011, 12:50:15 PM
This winter might shape out more like the winters of 00-01, 02-03 and 06-07. What I've noticed based on observation data over the past 36 years here on LI, when ever there is a early season snowstorm (like the one we had in October), typically the months after it tend to be well above average. These months include November (which was the warmest on record for here), December( which is so far several degrees above average), and January. However, the months of February, March and April tend to be below average. Where am I getting this from? Looking at data from 1979-1980 and 2000-2001, which both had early season snow events (seems that the media totally forgot about them when talking about this past Oct. snowstorm  :rolleyes: ) the months after tend to above average, and then become below average. And so far this year, everything is going the way it happened back then. Not surprised at all.  :noexpression:

Winter (which hasn't officially started yet) is pretty much the same here so far (Texas/Oklahoma).  I feel like it's actually been colder than normal: highs anywhere in the 40s to 50s with maybe a 60-degree day or two thrown in there.

Both the southeast and northeast have already had a major snowstorm.  I guess the northeast will typcially see much more snowfall by this time of year , but isn't the southeast experiencing pretty normal conditions right now?

I remember the winter of 1999-2000 in Massachusetts.  I was a senior in high school, and, other than one day with very brief flurries (which actually interrupted our math class), we didn't have any actual snowfall until January.  It was one of our latest first snowfalls on record, actually.

I can beat that.  Try launching a weather balloon at 5 AM when it's just 7°F with a wind chill around −13°F and winds gusting up to 40 mph.  I had to do that during one morning shift last December when I didn't have a good winter coat at the time.  I finally got a better one later as a Christmas gift.

Lol, the problem was the batteries in the temperature sensor were loose.

Anyway, I found this EXTREMELY strange thing this morning on weather.com

Why would the air temperatures surrounding Florida be colder than the temperatures on land? I'm pretty sure that the warm ocean temperatures would keep the air above the water slightly warm, but this just goes against what I said:

Since I found this to be abnormal, I decided the check out Key West, Florida and see there CC. Turns out, it's just as bad!

I tried to post last night but my internet borked on me. Another thing to fix at the same time.


I had to go out and spray lubricant all over my wind vane and flaps at night in a bad thunderstorm with 40+mph winds facing my direction, so no lubricant went into the unit, rather my face. I had to do the same another time, except there was a horrible wind storm, heavy rain, then a hard freeze. You can guess that I was out there for hours trying to free the thing and save it from complete hardware failure.

Trust me, you're on version 16. Chrome does a lot of invisible updates, meaning that you never usually know if they update it or not. I didn't ask for mine to be updated and I looked this morning and saw I was on version 16.

I don't know about Mozilla, but Chrome updates automatically and in the background, so the only way I know that an update has happened is if I check the "about" page (which is never) or see a change that the new version brought.  For example, when the last update happened, I noticed the bookmark manager moved from the "wrench" menu to the "other bookmarks" dropdown.

Speaking of Google, I noticed sometime yesterday that the search engine had changed their navigation a little by putting the links to Web, Images, Videos, etc. on the left side of the screen instead of at the top.  But today, I'm noticing it has returned to normal with navigation at the top.  Did anyone else notice the change?  I can't say I really liked it, because I have been so use to the "top" navigation for so long now.  But maybe nothing happened, and I was just on beta.google.com. :P

So my city of Southaven, MS is making national headlines after an audit of our mayor, Greg Davis, revealed that he had spent close to $200,000 of the city's expenses on liquor, food, and other personal things. They also found that he was a very generous tipper, leaving $100+ tips on meals that only cost $30. Keep in mind that this is all taxpayer's money going toward this. But, this was the kicker...they found a receipt for $68 at a store called Priape. Further investigation, mainly by the auditors searching for a website for this store, revealed that this store calls itself "Canada's premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop". After this, the mayor, who claimed to be happily married with 3 daughters (all true), came out as being gay. We were mentioned on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, Fox News also did a story (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/19/audit-mississippi-mayors-expenses-show-liquor-sex-shop-purchases/) on us, and even a newspaper from Canada (http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/12/19/republican-mayor-outed-after-spending-citys-money-at-toronto-sex-shop/) got in on the story.

He says that he is definitely not resigning. I sure would consider it if I was in his position right now. What are your thoughts on this?

Sounds like it will end like the Anthony Weiner fiasco. If he doesn't resign willingly now, he'll get pressured into resigning sooner than later. That whole gay sex shop thing gave me a good laugh though, I guess he should have tried putting that on a private, anonymous account.  :lol:

On Christmas, it'll be around 80, probably with a slight chance of rain and cloudiness, due to a stationary front.

Now I'm going to be honest. I hate my neighborhood. There's a lot of undiscussed crimes that happen. There's constant drug deals in front of my house, literally, I live next to a crack house run by teenagers, I saw this guy jack off, yes I said it, on my neighbors property and he was butt naked too. Just the other day, this car was driving up and down my block and he specifically kept slowing down in front of my house as if he was looking at something.  Also, there's this car I hear almost every other night, that parks just outside, then drives away shortly after like wtf? My neighborhood is very strange and scary. Ironically, on this day last year, this lady that was high crashed into a parked car in front of my house lol. BTW, I'm not making any of this up. Sometimes, especially on Saturday nights, the crack house next to me throws a party I guess, so I see people parking there cars, you know, smoking weed in their cars. I know this post is a bit crazy, but I thought I should bring it up, since there was just a drug deal in front of my house 5 minutes ago!

My guess is the police are...

- totally disinterested, and/or
- overwhelmed and incapable of dealing with the problem, so they ignore it, and/or
- have been "persuaded" to look the other way.

I'd move if I were you.  Seriously, I'd move.  Sadly, I don't think there's any legal remedy you can take without opening yourself up to illegal retaliation.

 :blink: There used to be some drug activity that took place around my neighborhood, but even that is very tame in comparison to you. The worse we have now are these drunks right adjacent from us who love to party all night (usually on the weekends) work on and race old junked up cars up and down what is a one way street at all times of the night. They're a lot more annoying when a holiday comes around like New Years and 4th of July they love to shoot firecrackers and guns to celebrate, once again well late into the night, sometimes during the day also, that is if they aren't too hungover from the night before. :rolleyes:

Wow guys, that sounds terrible. My neighborhood was like this when I was younger. I live miles away from what use to be a hot spot for crime and drug deals. Law enforcement cracked down on it many years ago, thank God. We do see the occasional drug deal, you know when those cars you've never seen drive slowly and stop in random places. I guess they finally realized that this is the good part of town and moved their activities elsewhere. Well on to Today, I finally after about 2months had my hair cut, it was disgusting how it looked. We hit nearly 80° here, some 20° above average. It was nice to have the warmth of the Sunshine, but it is winter, so cooler temps before a most likely unbearable Summer ahead would be nice to see.

Yeah, my neighborhood can get crazy too. There are a lot of gangsters around here, and more often than not, I hear gunshots in the middle of the night. Not to mention the noisy parties held pretty much every weekend during the summer at some hall at the corner. One night in July or so, my dad had to call the police on some people downstairs because they were having a noisy party at 2 in the morning and some guys there were selling drugs right in front of the house. Oh, and did I mention the house got egged 2 or 3 times this year? Even then, violence can, and does, get worse in other neighborhoods. :fear:

Well, thankfully, if I could move I would only a few miles from here to the more richer side of town (Brightwaters). I can't assume that it would be better there but it would be a much better environment. Some of the homes there go into the tens of millions. But back to before, my neighborhood has "Neighborhood Watch". I was talking to my friend and he says there's obviously no point for them since they do absolutely nothing. Not only that, I rarely see a cop car around here, maybe once every 3 to 4 months if I'm lucky. I've heard gun shots before around here. Thankfully I don't live in a town like Brentwood or Wyandanch, which for those who don't know, is like the 90's Compton of Long Island. There's not much to do other than move. One last thing which just blows my mind. New York State law prohibits smoking on school property. However, I see high school students smoking outside all the time at the end of the day, and administrators are right outside watching them, and don't even say anything!

I think the fact that I had to work on Christmas Day took the spirit right out of me.

I lived in northern climates for 29 years, and I do not miss the cold or snow at all.  80° weather doesn't seem very Christmasy, but I'd gladly have that any day over disgusting winter conditions.

TWC is only predicting sustained winds of only 29 mph, which brings me back to the night of Dec 7th, where TWC predicted winds of 28 mph but we had sustained winds at around 40 mph.

The way you worded that reminds me of the hurricane that struck the Gulf of Mexico coastline during World War II.  Due to concerns the Germans would find out America's oil production area would be at risk, news about the hurricane was censored, even to most people living in the affected areas.  Needless loss of life meant that hurricane warnings were never censored again, war or no war.

What is the criteria for a wind warning up there? Not sure it would reach warning criteria but easily looks like an advisory
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: TWCCraig on December 27, 2011, 08:46:38 PM
For a wind advisory, it's sustained winds of 31 - 39mph or gusts to 46 - 57mph. Not sure about high wind warnings. But I swear to god I must have just experienced 75mph wind gusts. I've never seen winds this strong in my life and I'm not even exaggerating.

Edit: Just heard on the news that one of the hangers at Long Island Mac Arthur  was torn apart by the high winds.

A high wind warning is issued in the eastern United States when sustained winds reach 40 mph or more for at least one hour or if there is a wind gust reaching 58 mph or more at any instant.  That gust speed is not a fluke as it matches the wind speed criteria for a severe thunderstorm warning.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove

Well the NWS' forecast was way off. I knew before the storm that they should have issued a high wind warning as for we had sustained winds of 45mph with gusts to 59mph. Certainly enough to call on the high wind warning.

I recall reading the Hazardous Weather Outlook out of New York that said gusts between 55 to 65 mph, although a low probability, were possible for much of Long Island. That should have been enough in addition to the wind advisory.

This is awesome! You sound very professional. I might look into doing this for StormChaseTN ([url]http://www.stormchasetn.com[/url]), if you don't mind.



Definitely not! I love doing this, I find it to be a nice hobby.
Also, for anyone wondering, I used a Samson C01U USB Condenser mic that I bought at Best Buy for $70. I wanted to get the Audio-Technica condenser/cardioid mic, but they didn't have it. Most of the mics are the same, no true need to pay extra money. (Unless you want a shock mount)

Some of you take what others enjoy a little too personally.  I don't use any of those products mentioned above, but I have no problem with it if others like them.

For all of you east of the Rocky Mountains that are wondering if winter is ever going to come, you're going to have your first real Arctic blast to start 2012.  Consider this remark a heads-up as I've already seen the models.

Well so far, I've already felt like winter has been here for weeks.  Especially Christmas weekend, when high temps were in the low- to mid-40s.  I'm loving the upper-60s/low-70s that are in store for us right now! B)

However, we obviously have a couple more months for the "real" arctic blasts (that's any trace of snow or ice with high temps in the 30s here in Texas :P) to come.

Tonight is gonna be a long night. The power went out not once, not twice, but three times so far roday, the last two within the past hour. The winds are frightening to say the least.

Check out the severe weather alert here, I've never seen one pertaining to power outages.

Also check out the wind gust being reported, 43 mph! That's pretty darn impressive for a cold front. Those winds kinda brought a chill to me. I really think the NWS office here needs to issue some High Wind Warnings for part of N. GA If were clocking 40+ mph winds down here I know the mountain areas are clocking no less than 50 mph which should be enough to warrant one or at least bend the rules some to allow for one.

These same conditions happened here on New Year's Eve when the cold front moved through north Texas.  The same "power outage" message appeared on weather.com, and there were some gusts at DFW airport reported at over 50 mph! :o

I, however, do not recall any high wind warnings being issued, so I'm not sure what the criteria is for that.

Yeah, the highest wind gust I've seen observed at Hartsfield Int'l was 52 mph and 49mph here in the downtown area. It went back down into the mid 30s as far as wind gusts and then within the past 30 minutes it's gone back up into the 43-51mph range. We've also had snow flurries tonight and my 4th power outage after I made that post (sighs) Luckily we haven't had another one since...

Yeesh! Those are some nasty winds, especially for the South! Normally in Grand Forks, we'd go "whatever" with that kinda stuff, but that does sound rough.

A high wind warning requires that 40 mph sustained winds last over a period of 60 minutes or longer, or that gusts of 58 mph or higher are expected during any time frame. You're just under those conditions right now, Tavores.

Hate to brag about it but that's nothing. I'm surprised you're getting power outages at that wind speed. Here, at least, not even a hurricane (Irene) can knock out power, which still brought pretty intense winds here. I've seen that "Severe Winds May Be Causing Power Outages" screen before, in fact, only a few days ago  ;)

It's odd because sometimes it does knock out the power and sometimes it doesn't. The several times the power has gone out it has been very brief, it automatically comes back on. Wind gusts into the 50s is rare here even during severe weather, most of the time in cases where we have been severe thunderstorm or tornado warned, wind gusts never exceeded 35-40mph. The last time I can remember winds this strong was back on April 15th last year when a line of thunderstorms moved threw late at night.

If there were any people alive from the 1800's, they would laugh at us, seriously, you guys call this a cold spell? Yes, it's a big contrast to the weather we've all been seeing lately but this is nothing compared to what they got hundreds of years ago. I like to watch the local news and see the almanac for NYC and it's sad to see that today's cold spell can't even match the ones hundreds of years ago. The daily record low for the day in NYC is -4°F set in I believe 1876. Out of all the cold spells we've been getting over the past 20 years, not one has even came close. 2 things I blame it on is GW and the urban heat island effect. It's sad to see that this happening and that the govt. is taking no action to slow GW, they were supposed to put wind turbines some 10 miles off the ocean here for electricity production, but it was turned down, because we got the ignorance of the people who said "oh well it blocks our view", HELLO, these things are 10 miles away, you can't even see out that far. I thought it would be a great idea, since we get a lot of wind storms and they're well off in the ocean. I'm sorry to rant and post so much random stuff but this is what's on my mind. Crazy... :wacko:

Besides the view thing, those windmills are only good up to a certain point, and I can say this as a fact visiting a wind farm near Mayville, ND. Those windmills can't handle very high winds, and they're designed to shut down after the wind hits a certain speed. Generally, that speed stands at around 26 mph (I think that's the number I was told) or so for your standard windmill model.

"Cold spell" is also a relative term, and it's usually not used to compare a time period as far back as the 1800s. For this 365-day period, this is definitely a cold spell for the South. Granted, we're not as cold as back then, but we can still experience some pretty brutal lows nonetheless.

Right. But you have to agree that these brutal lows are null to what people had to cope with back then. It was probably a much more worse case scenario back then than it is today due to the fact that many people didn't have proper heating utilities, many more people back then died of cold related inflictions than today, mainly do to the advancements in modern technology, that doesn't happen much anymore. If you think we got it bad, just imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago during cold spells. Not much heat for the house, maybe if you were poor, you couldn't afford a coat. We take a lot for granted, not thinking of what it was like years before.

Still a few hours left, but looks like the cold was sorely over-estimated by NWS in Florida. Georgia and South Carolina seem to have done well. Here's how lows are faring as of the 4:53 AM EST METAR observations.

Punta Gorda, FL - 32
Tampa, FL - 36
Orlando, FL - 34
Miami, FL - 44
Jacksonville, FL - 25

A bit farther north:

Atlanta, GA - 23
Charleston, SC - 23
Florence, SC - 18

Holy crap! I just went searching around on TWC's interactive temperature map. Turns out the many places in the northern mid-west are seeing incredible highs today. For example, Murdo, SD reached 74°F, shattering the old record by 21 degrees! After looking up some more data, it's the second highest temperature ever recorded in the month of January there, the highest ever being 75°F. You would think it would be in teen's and twenty's during this time of the year according to the average, but the with a high of 74°F, it will make it an outstanding 42 degrees above average!!! I've never seen it so above average in any given place. WOW  :o

NWS high for Islip is 59. IMO, TWC isnt the greatest source to get weather forecasts from.. they hype rain chances and temperature values big time.

Wow, this was an interesting morning for my parents.. at about 4 AM this morning, my brother called our house to say he needed them (my parents) to go get him. His location was I-75 NB just a few feet south of Florida State Highway 574 (Dr MLK Blvd to locals in the area). Some idiot abandoned a vehicle in the far right-hand lane of I-75, and another car didn't see it coming, so that car hit it. In the long run, the abandoned vehicle's bumper went loose into the roadway, and my brother couldn't avoid it, so his upper-right tire is now flat. :( My parents did not return home until another 2 hours, several police reports got filed, and my brother's vehicle got towed home via AAA service.

I've had my share of bad luck this week. Thursday night I had to print a report for school that was several pages long. First thing, I put new ink in the printer and somehow it spills all over the place, then I have to clean it up. After that the printer is really low on ink, go figure, and I had to use what little was left of it. Then it jammed and started spitting out test papers galore and what was not printed last time from someone leaving it jammed. To top it all off, I knocked over a book shelf at 5AM and stubbed my toe. I wasn't have a good day to say the least.  :hammer:

Don't feel bad! I had a research paper that was originally pushed back for me since I had to redo the project - then a substitute comes in and calls ME irresponsible, then tells me the due date is (today). I finish the 1000 word project in 3 days. Time to go retrieve it to print it. My computer saves things twice, so I have to find the second project. Guess what? This time, it didn't save it twice. It saved it once. I had to rewrite everything after the 150 word mark. Then printing came up. I was out of paper. Have an extra cartridge of ink (gonna help me a lot). Had to get paper. Now time to see if I can get more than a B+ on this paper done in less than 4 days.  :wacko:




Sounds like a lot of people had a crappy week. I feel for you guys! Gonna strive to make this a good week. I have an orthodontic appointment (tightening) Thursday, but I'm taking the day off. I might take the day off from everything, and just turn the radar and Tweetdeck off. Today and tomorrow is already getting severe.

Just took a glance at the latest GFS run, I saw something crazy. Now before I get criticized, I really don't think this will happen. The latest run shows a sub-tropical low forming over the Bahamas and moving up the east coast. Now for a sub-tropical low to form around this time of year isn't all too rare. In fact, they have affected the east coast during the winter before. The Blizzard of 2006 was a sub-tropical low when it formed, then it hit an arctic front to the north, making more extra-tropical. This is also why the storm was debated whether it was tropical or not, because the storm formed a perfect eye, very similar that of a major hurricane. Although this model run doesn't show an arctic front. I don't believe this will happen, but hey, you can't rule it out!

I'd keep reporting that to the local police. The FBI is not obligated to look at your case since the crime is entirely within the jurisdiction of the state of Alabama. If you can prove the threat came from Florida or Georgia, or any other neighboring state, then you may have a shot at getting them involved, and even then, the FBI is limited to the types of cases they can accept. Long story short, the FBI is only going to be involved if it's an interstate issue.

My mother was a former FBI agent for Kansas City. :P She explained this to me back when I wanted to be one of those gang-busters the movies always portrayed.

EDIT: I'm wrong, nevermind. Any type of threat made over the internet that is considered illegal can be handled by the Bureau, since the agency does consider internet crimes "interstate." So, they may look at your case, but they're still not obligated to take it.

Sorry to hear about these threats, Austin. This reminds me of the whole Keith Latteri fiasco a few years ago, if anybody remembers that. He gave me threats, like this one, and cussed me out regularly  We had to call the police, and when they went to his house in New Jersey, they found that he was a 10 year old kid.

It's funny, because they seem to be bashing you for your enthusiasm in weather, while most of their Tweets are about Justin Bieber.

While these threats shouldn't be taken lightly, most likely they are just trying to scare you.

Don't hesitate to PM me regarding this issue...remember, this has happened to me before, and I can help you get things sorted out. :)

Ohhhh. Okay, well here's what I recommend you do: I'd go to the Ozark Police Department, or Dade County, or whatever, and file a report, and ask them to see if they can get your local FBI office involved (most likely they'll contact a regional office; they won't get the field office in Birmingham involved). That should get both the local authorities and the feds to deal with it. I hope this helps, Austin. I've gotten a few death threats of my own when I was in middle school, and had to deal with them accordingly.

I've gotten a few death threats of my own when I was in middle school, and had to deal with them accordingly.


Thanks!

Sorry to hear about these threats, Austin. This reminds me of the whole Keith Latteri fiasco a few years ago, if anybody remembers that. He gave me threats, like this one, and cussed me out regularly  We had to call the police, and when they went to his house in New Jersey, they found that he was a 10 year old kid.

It's funny, because they seem to be bashing you for your enthusiasm in weather, while most of their Tweets are about Justin Bieber.

While these threats shouldn't be taken lightly, most likely they are just trying to scare you.

Don't hesitate to PM me regarding this issue...remember, this has happened to me before, and I can help you get things sorted out. :)


I think I remember reading something about the Latteri incident before I joined the forum. I always hoped nothing of the same happened to me. I felt so awful for you and anyone who dealt with such things. I've gone to school with both of them before and they both choked me, about 5 minutes away from pure death. I couldn't breathe. We called the cops then but they both BS'd their way out of it. No witnesses. I got in trouble for it. Even with marks all over my neck. I'll message you the results on everything or if I need to talk to you about it.  :thumbsup:

How can I connect my tuner to my STB? Can I just connect the cable or do I have to have the box to decode the signal?
What is your tuner model? Are you able to use S-Video and or Composite cables with it?


I have the latest HD Regular STB. Only connection I have is the cable in, AV Cables out, and HDMI out.

Austin, Trevor, and Mac, I'm really sorry to hear about the problems that you all have faced just because of your love for weather. :(  I suffered the same jealousy issues from others in my life when I was growing up, but it never escalated to death threats.  Yes, I was called a weirdo by many, but no one is laughing at me now that I'm in a secure job with good benefits and have accomplished more than my bullies could ever dream of doing themselves.  Trust me, it will all be worth it when you reach my age, and I'm confident that you all will be able to do the same.

Well, coach on Qantas is probably better than coach on American.  In fact, I think coach on ANY airline is better than coach on American.

That's funny you mentioned American because Qantas recently launched the DFW route in order to feed connections on AA flights (they have a partnership with American) through its largest hub. I would fly from Dallas to Australia because it seems like such an unusual and interesting route, plus Australia has always been one of the countries I've long desired to visit. Their coach product is decent, but for a long flight, I would opt for their Premium Economy option which is essentially a "first class- economy" product, if that makes any sense. :P

Also LAX - AKL is a long route, no doubt about it but there are dozens of longer routes from USA. Some of them are:

Singapore Airlines: LAX/EWR - SIN 18hrs
Qantas: DFW - BNE - SYD/SYD - DFW 16hrs
Emirates: LAX/IAH/SFO - DXB 16 hours
Delta: ATL - JNB ~17hrs
United: ORD/EWR - HKG 15 hours
Delta: DTW - HKG 15 hours
United: EWR - DEL/BOM 16 hours
Air India: EWR - BOM and JFK/ORD - DEL 15hrs from New York, 16 hours from Chicago
Qatar Airways: IAH - DOH 15hr45 min
South African: JFK - JNB 16 hours
Thai Airways: LAX - BKK 17hrs.

Hopefully I didn't mean to scare you, Mac :P but just try to make the best of it on your flight. New Zealand sounds fascinating, I would love to go there, too, lucky you. :bleh:

Post by: Mr. Rainman on January 11, 2012, 11:50:14 PM
Ha! I've been on a flight slightly longer...United still does regular non-stop flights from Chicago O'Hare to Beijing. That flight was supposed to be 14 and a half hours, but we hit a headwind, and it took 16. Coming back from Hong Kong, the tailwind knocked it down from 15 to 13.5. Still nothing to sneeze at, though.

I don't mind the flight times as much as how warped the time changes can be. Leaving to Auckland, you lose a day crossing the dateline. Coming back into LA, you arrive in the United States before you supposedly even departed Australia (example: leave Sydney at 4:35 PM on the 7th, and arrive in LA at 8:23 AM on the 7th).

Qantas has those little TV things in their seats, and a little personal power outlook in economy, so it shouldn't be too bad. And there's 12 weeks between my arrival in Oceania and my departure, so I'm glad I don't have to do the return trip immediately afterwards. :P

American Airlines does not have PTVs in any of their aircraft except the 777, which I feel they barely fly anywhere.  I know a lot of other airlines that are installing them on smaller aircraft, such as the 757 and 767.  Let's just say, it's nice to have them.

Delta's been doing that. They had PTV's on a 1 hr 40 minute hop from Atlanta to Minneapolis on a 757. That was a pleasant surprise.

Last night (before I went to bed, which was really this morning :P), I got my CC image page to force nighttime icons! :dance: What I managed to do was add a second source into the XML parsing algorithm to grab Wunderground's almanac data, and from using the sunrise, sunset, and the current times, I could make the script determine whether or not it's day or night. These are the variables I used:

It's nighttime if...

It's daytime if...

There is a glitch that I cannot fix, however, that for some odd reason, when it hits midnight at any given location in their local time zone, for that hour, the daytime icons come out. :hmm:

Anyways, sorry for the long post (tl;dr?).. but I thought I would share with you guys since it literally took like 4-5 hours for me to get this perfect in determining the time frames to use. No joke! :wacko: Here's two comparison images I have attached, and the link to access the CC page on my server is located in my sig.. just change to your location of choice though after the '='. :thumbsup:

If it wasn't for the editing portion (and the lasting-longer part), I would need or want a Mac. They're too overpriced, for a UNIX foundation.

Austin, that sounds a bit difficult. I hope you all come to a solution, but don't complain about things like that. You could be far worse off.

Sorry, but I agree, you shouldn't get a MacBook Air at age 14. Kids get higher end electronics and gadgets younger and younger. Go out and play or something, or better yet, make due with what you have or can afford. The time will come when you can work and come up with the money on your own. And, if it's for video editing, a MBA isn't necessary. There are plenty of cheaper Windows machines out there that have better specs. Just my two cents, although you probably disagree.

Second that. Besides, Apple discounts a 150 bucks once you get into college. Worth waiting for the savings, in my opinion.

Wooooow. I have $750 and am willing to pay my Grandparents that much to help me out and buy the MacBook Air for school and editing purposes. They won't do it. Why? "I don't need it." So right now I have a failing computer that has almost the same specs. I'm not "allowed" to get a new computer. Whatever this is, something of value will be lost.
Macbook Air for editing is a big no no. It might have an i5/i7 processor but everything is underclocked and under powered to save battery. Airs are not meant for heavy workloads. I suggest a Pro if you are doing heavy video editing. If you have the money for an Apple computer thats fine but windows systems are just as powerful and will do what you need.

I say mooch your parents for every penny. :P Nah I say if you have the money get the gadgets you want. I got tech gadgets when I was young but it didn't mean I automatically stopped going outside and participating in the real world.

IF you have the money I say go ahead and enjoy buying what you want. However be vigilant of your future. If you don't have money saved for college I suggest you skip the luxury items and start saving. I was fortunate enough not to have that problem but college is getting more expensive by the year.

Yeah, sorry. I was brought up being very patient for things, as I don't have a whole lot of money. :P I'm betting that prices will continue to drop over 5 years, though. Martin is right, though...keep in mind your future expenses. College is usually a big one (that was a problem I narrowly avoided a year ago).

I built my own PC last summer using some of the best hardware out there, and it still cost me several hundreds less than even a MB Air.

Well, I am headed back to university tomorrow as I have classes in the afternoon. I'm concerned that the poor weather will hamper the 2 hour drive up to New Brunswick. But, I don't know if I can start doing work again because I feel like I can't memorize or remember things anymore since finals were over lol.

I'm also concerned about after spring semester, in regards to what to do over the summer break. For you guys in or have attended college, during the summer do you take summer courses, work, intern or volunteer in your field of interest or do some combo of these?

Well, I just started, but I can give you some insight on what my plans are. I've got a double major to work with, which extends my college time to 5 to 5.5 semesters, so I'm going to be spending several summers there working on classes to possibly reduce that time. I also found a job, although not in my interest field. I'll be working for the TSA with airport security in Grand Forks over the summer until junior year, at which point I'll be eligible to apply for an internship at NWS Grand Forks.

I didn't take any summer courses, but I volunteered for two summers at the NWS in Blacksburg, VA and did an internship during a third summer at HPC in Silver Spring, MD.  I would strongly urge you to find some opportunities that fit within your planned major so that you have a foot in the door when you graduate and start applying for full-time jobs.

That sounds logical. Well, I cannot do any summer research/internships until next summer or junior year (when I'll look for some) as I have not completed my main math and science courses yet, but I was thinking about maybe working part-time as a Pharm Tech and taking a science class at the local CC. Volunteering also sounds like a good option, but it will be difficult for me to afford next year's tuition if I do not earn some income, so I figured having a job in a related field can't hurt.

But regardless of major, if you work in a field that doesn't exactly pertain to your major and you write this information down in your application to professional/graduate school or on a resume, would that hurt your chances in any way?

Well, first off, what is your major? For the resume, any addition employment is good to see, as it shows you have job experience. As for graduate school, I think they're more worried about your academic grades more than your job. I can't answer this for sure, though.

Biological Sciences. I am planning to go to medical school. If that fails, then pharmacy school. I was wanting to get some work experience so I can boost my application for these competitive places. I have my heart set on Jefferson School of Medicine/Pharmacy...their facilites are AMAZING, and I can instantly get a job after completing my studies at that school because their teaching hospital is in Delaware, a place where I know many physicians and students at. They also wrote my letter of recommendations so it would be really neat to attend Jefferson, even though it's very tough to get in.

I have no idea what's going on. It's snowing in the city, raining here, but what's strange is that the NWS never said it was going to be this windy tonight. From what I'm witnessing, we are already getting gusts over 45mph I think these are microbursts because these winds are totally unexpected.

EDIT: I've figured out what's happening. We are getting a wind from the south right now off the ocean. There's a cold pocket of area above us from the cold air we had today. Since the cold air is more dense, the cold air dives down from the rest of the troposphere, add that to the southernly wind and you get a microburst, and you also get mixed precip which is what we are getting right now. First time it has snowed here since October. :)

Looks like the Grand Forks and Bismarck offices are going to be the first to use the new "Extreme Cold Watch" and "Extreme Cold Warning" implimented by NWS. A watch is currently out for Wednesday in Grand Forks. The expected low that evening is -18, and the wind chill as -40. "Frostbite can occur within minutes." Not a good day to be outside there.

Sigh...welcome to North Dakota.  :wacko:

I think the protests are absolutely necessary.  While I agree that online piracy must be dealt with, PIPA and SOPA seek to "solve" the problem by literally strangling the internet itself.  As an analogy, it would be like dealing with mail fraud by arresting the mailman.

And...everybody's back online. A very large and apparently successful protest, given the news below. And the issue has been shelved, so we can focus on more pressing issues.

I do like Wikipedia's response to this event. :D

Quote
The Wikipedia blackout is over — and you have spoken.

More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. Your voice was loud and strong. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.

For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.

Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.

SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it.

We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.

EDIT: I can hear college students rejoicing so they can work on their essays again. :P

Here's my opinion on this matter, and I realize that I'm very different compared to everyone else here:  I'm completely neutral on these SOPA and PIPA bills.  I clearly see the point of stopping internet piracy, but there are definitely flaws on the approach and the lack of focus to carry out their intent.  What I want to know is why are they suddenly a big deal anyway when we have so many larger issues in our country right now?  We have many people still unemployed, an unprecedented debt problem, trouble with foreign countries, and a growing polarity and lack of trust in all citizens.  Shouldn't these be the issues that we should be worried about right now?

It makes this whole debate on these laws and the protests with all these blackouts a huge waste of time and effort that we ought to be prioritizing to focus on solving these issues that will greatly affect all of us.  We can take care of the internet piracy issue later when things are better and we have the time to make it a higher priority.  Besides, I think England already has a case-by-case law that handles this issue quite well.  So, I feel like we lost a day that we all could have done something far more productive than this debacle.

Here's my opinion on this matter, and I realize that I'm very different compared to everyone else here:  I'm completely neutral on these SOPA and PIPA bills.  I clearly see the point of stopping internet piracy, but there are definitely flaws on the approach and the lack of focus to carry out their intent.  What I want to know is why are they suddenly a big deal anyway when we have so many larger issues in our country right now?  We have many people still unemployed, an unprecedented debt problem, trouble with foreign countries, and a growing polarity and lack of trust in all citizens.  Shouldn't these be the issues that we should be worried about right now?

It makes this whole debate on these laws and the protests with all these blackouts a huge waste of time and effort that we ought to be prioritizing to focus on solving these issues that will greatly affect all of us.  We can take care of the internet piracy issue later when things are better and we have the time to make it a higher priority.  Besides, I think England already has a case-by-case law that handles this issue quite well.  So, I feel like we lost a day that we all could have done something far more productive than this debacle.

Thank you! :worship:  I would like to know the same thing.  This is by far NOT the most important matter that we should be dealing with in our country right now.  Congress seems to have no idea how to prioritize.  Are the SOPA/PIPA bills going to magically get us out of the economic slump we are still in?
But talking about the economic crisis was sooooooooo last year. you know American's can't focus on one thi---- what was I saying? mmmm donuts.


:P
Donuts? Are any jelly-filled?  :rofl2:

I checked the METARs out of some cities they usually have on that map, and those reports are coming in just fine, so it's probably a problem on TWC's end.

TWC doesn't use METAR reports, but rather their own through HiRAD, so it wouldn't matter anyways if the METARs were the cause.

Though I don't have either, I think Zach means After Effects is a better program to make emulations with.  For example, when you see Tyler make his emulations, he normally states that he has used After Effects to make them.

What I want to know is how you all can afford it.  It's over $500! :blink:

I create my animations for school on After Effects. I don't use it for videos because I haven't mastered it yet, but when I do, I will. After Effects for emulators.

Andy is correct. It would be Adobe After Effects. However, don't feel so ambitious right away to use it. It took me a long while to know how to use Adobe After Effects in the fashion of which I chose to use it, and believe me, I am still learning. Also, if you're considering creating emulations the way that me, Chazz, Derek, Tyler, etc create them, you're gonna need to know how to use Photoshop beyond how a novice user uses it.

Becuase I didn't know computers could have AE installed already. He purchased a very expensive Vaio last August, that's probably why he got a free copy of AE on it. Either way, when I get home I should toy around with the thing and see what I can come up with.

What's considered a non-legal copy of After Effects? :dunno:  Don't worry, I'm not trying to bust you or anything Austin.  I know sometimes sites online have programs that you can download for free, although I don't remember seeing any for After Effects.  So maybe it's a trial version or "simpler" version?

And Victor, I just typed in "After Effects" in Google, scrolled to the one with the Google Product search (shopping results) and discovered it was $524 for PC and $589 for Mac.  There may be additional costs, too, if you look at the prices for it at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, it is near $1000! :o  Amazon offers it for a little over $600.  Once again, you guys who have it must have a lot of money in your pocket. :P

I hope my copy of AE is legit..after all it was pre-installed on the computer when he received it and he ordered it directly from the Sony store. if I do end up having to upgrade to the full product though (sometimes these preinstalled programs are just trial programs) then it might not be wise to fork up another $500 just to use a product that I'd have no experience using it anyways

It's a fire rainbow alright.. it could just be the white balance on my camera wasn't set correctly or the factor that it was really faded

Also, yours appears to be one, too, but faded.. sun dogs are just tiny spots without a vibrant spectrum of colors and appear to be bright in the center

Yeah... that's not good.  The best thing to do to warm up after coming in from the cold is to do it gradually.  Drink a hot beverage, eat soup, sit inside bundled up in warm clothing or a blanket for a while.  When your body starts to warm up, you'll know when you're back to normal.  However, going from cold to hot quickly can cause a lot of problems.

If you have frostbite that was a very bad thing to do. I've read that if you immediately warm your blood that because it becomes acidic that it can all go to your heart and cause a heart attack.

One thing I remember hearing about frost bite (and I hope this is true and I'm not just spouting off false statements here) is that, if you have it on your hands for example, you should actually run your hands under cool water, NOT hot water.  Obviously the instinct is that "I'm so cold and need to warm up right now," but that can be dangerous.

Why didn't you wear any gloves to prevent this whole problem?  You should always wear them if you're going to be outside for more than a few minutes when it's below freezing.  Furthermore, taking a shower was one of the worst things you could do as you induced two sudden temperature changes to yourself by suddenly heating up with hot water and later cooling down through evaporation of that water on your skin as you got out.  You're supposed to get dry first after having frostbite and wrap the affected areas in a blanket to gradually warm them.  Sudden rewarming can damage yourself worse than the initial frostbite.

I didn't wear gloves because I didn't think it was going to get it, it was the wind chill that basically froze my hands. And I didn't take a shower to take care of the problem, I had to take a shower anyway

I have the feeling you should have known better.  Whenever it's cold, there's always the chance.  "It never happened to me before, so I doubt it will happen today" is a very unreliable predictor... and you can't even say that anymore!  And I doubt you needed to take a shower right that instant.

Ridiculous how much it costs. As a result its one of the most distributed software titles on the web. You would think if they just lowered their price they would make so much more in the long run. I guess these titles are cash cows for companies like Adobe

Craig, we're just reacting because of how serious it sounded to all of us.  Our concerns are coming out in the harsh tone you're detecting.  I can see your point about the air temperature not warranting a frostbite risk, but whenever you expose your skin to moisture and/or wind, you can lower your skin temperature more than you think.  If your hands were starting to get cold, that's your signal to put your gloves on despite what the air temperature says.  I'm just glad that you're okay and hope you avoid this problem through our advice next time! :yes:

I DID have to take a shower that instant because I had to be somewhere. Why would I lie? It was 56F yesterday. I know now I should have wore gloves but you guys don't need to be harsh on me and tell me right and wrong. I got a family that does that for me already so please, this is for everyone, I'm not some kind of idiot who looks for answers to my problems on a TWC forum. I like to briefly talk about them, but no need to go this far. I understand you people known I could have gotten hurt, but still, I have common sense :stupid:. When it in the 50's you don't think you'll get frostbite but I didn't expect to be riding in the wind.

I started my finals yesterday. The only one I've been worried about was physics, but it was easier than I thought. So far, it's been okay, except that I messed up my Chinese final since I put some answers in the wrong places on the Scantron, so I had to spend extra time fixing it. :pinch:
Good luck with them :) Hope you do well!

Disappointment day.

Yesterday was the "expected" introduction of TWC HD on Bright House in Central Florida.

But, as I should have expected, it didn't happen.

I called Bright House's programming department, asked about it, and, refusing to answer me, they hung up.

That's why they are ETA's ;) cable headends do that all the time with the incorrect projection of channel additions :yes:

Also, IIRC, the launch was for BHN Tampa Bay only

Well... now I'm disappointed.  I'd like to see the HD feed again.  :(

Ironically, as bad as Bright House is, it actually has more HD channels than Comcast in Massachusetts, and Bright House doesn't charge extra to receive them like Comcast does.  (Granted, the monthly rental of an HD cable box is slightly higher, but only slightly.)  However, as far as I can tell and my memory stretches, the only major HD channel that Bright House doesn't have that Comcast does is The Weather Channel.

It may not be long before all our favorite internet browsers have double-digit version numbers.  Internet Explorer 10 is coming out as a final release later this year, Firefox 10 was just released today, and Chrome 16 is currently in use.  Are we heading for triple-digit version numbers several years from now? :P

I would not be surprised to see Google Chrome 20 by the end of 2012, or at the latest the first two months of 2013.

In other news, our neighborhood has had a series of break-ins recently...at least, until today. About a half hour ago, about 4 cops tackled this guy on our front yard and arrested him on the spot (apparently he'd been on the run earlier). Turns out he was the one responsible for the break-ins, and also the guy I saw peeking into our living room window around 3 AM a week or two ago! Needless to say I'm relieved he's locked away.

Firefox copied off of Chrome and is still terribly slow so I ditched it. I still have Firefox 3 somewhere on here, but I've been using Chrome since last summer. Heck everything I use is from Google... Chrome, Android, Gtalk, Gmail, Voice, Google+... :P

We had a pervert neighbor that set up binox to peek in our house. Called the cops and he was "warned." I think if I saw anyone doing it again, I would show them the shotgun and .380 I have next to my bed.

I think that the browsers (except IE) will come out to be known as different names every 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 versions released - like the STAR units. IE is usually released every year or so.

Everyone is copying the rapid version number increases too much.  I don't think Firefox is so slow now.  Chrome may be faster overall, but I've run into sites where it wouldn't work.  Regardless, I think both are pretty close when I tried them head-to-head on my laptop.

No one can do anything about those rays you see at sunrise and sunset.  They always occur at every radar site and are not an easily filtered item as they change a little over the course of the year with the change in sun angle.  Furthermore, it only occurs on one image when the sun is at the horizon, so it's just not worth the trouble.

Something on radar. I think this would be the front moving down. I've been seeing some amazing colored clouds outside my window as a backdoor coldfront moves down from the north. The line of clouds has really taken 2 hours or more to even move across the horizon to where I can see the bottoms of them and appear to be moving much slower now.

For those of you who liked my CC screen idea, I have gone to the full extent to modify as much of the parsed data as possible, from modifying the wind string to detect calm winds, to shortening the direction strings so it fits all in one line, and to adding support for gusts and detection of heat index/wind chill.. all so that it actually looks like what an IntelliStar would put out! B)

With the accomplishments I have made, work on my CC Screen v2 is officially over, thus I have decided to release its source code here (http://zach.dyndns-work.com:53205/cc/index.php?source=yes) for those wanting to know all the work to generate the final outputted image it makes! :biggrin:

Attached below is a preview of the final version. :) Who knows if I'm gonna make a v3 version of the screen? maybe when the next SD STAR comes out.. :P

I had on
-A skull cap
-Trapper hat on top of the skull cap
-T-shirt
-Long sleeve shirt
-Hoodie
-A Peacoat on top of the hoodie
-Gloves
-Long Johns
-Lastly my ripped jeans and Timberland boots

I started to put on a pair of pajamas on top of the Long Johns also. The only thing missing was a scarf because I don't have one, but if I did I would have thrown that on too. :P

I heard about the snowstorm a while ago; I'm jealous. :P It's been in the 70s, windy, and sunny every day here in Milford Sound, which is quite odd, seeing how this place gets rain about 200 days a year. Average yearly rainfall stands around 360 inches.  :blink:

Even in Virginia? I heard they are strict about the speed limits there lol.

I always go the speed limit or only slightly above (no more than 2-3) in the city. On highways I just go with the general flow of traffic, which is usually 5-10 above.

You should be fine. Some of the state highways can be very rural and remote. Interstates should be fine as well

I didnt mention this last night because I was weak and tired night but Ive had a cold for the past 48-72 hours  :( As i said back in November, I am never this sick, and this is the third time I have been sick in 6 months! I usually get sick maybe twice a year or three times at most :doh2:

Also, when walking home today, I saw an oak tree in bloom! (and unrelated to allergies, a couple of amaryllis flowers in bloom, which usually don't bloom until shortly after the official arrival of Spring!) Again, the seasons are out of whack this year!

Hoping you feel better. That's interesting. I've always wondered if trees down in the extreme deep south shed their leaves for the winter. They probably don't take much cold in order for them to start shedding either.

This might surprise you, but there actually are trees that do shed their leaves here in the wintertime. however the trees that do so originate from more northern areas such as maple trees.. However assuming we have strong winters there are trees that can change their colors from green to orange and brown :yes:

Consider yourself lucky then that you have a really good immune system to work with. I could just have allergies too, seeing how my above post stated that oak trees are blooming now, and oak trees (alongside ragweed) are the worst allergens to put me around. :footinmouth:

It's because federal law never called this holiday as "President's Day" at any time, so everyone in the public gets this day wrong.  Even though George Washington was born on February 22, federal law states that the observed holiday known as "Washington's Birthday" is the third Monday of every February.  There's no such day as "President's Day" in the official calendar, so the NWS has to follow it.

Well, federal law is crazy then. :wacko:

Why would they call it "Washington's Birthday" when that's not his actual birthday??  It was always my understanding that "President's Day" originated from combining Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays together to make one federal holiday.  If this isn't even the case, then how did the term "President's Day" come about?

When it was initially created, it was on his actual birthday.  However, a law called the Uniform Monday Holiday Act changed the observance of several holidays to Mondays starting in 1971, and Washington's Birthday was one of them.  Wikipedia explains the whole thing pretty well:

I am assuming the Norman schools, as well as a lot of schools around the area, are off today because the campus is a complete zoo!  For some reason, I get stressed out during situations when there are a lot of people that I have to "dodge" essentially, so lunch in the cafeteria today was sure fun with all these adults and little kids running around. <_<

I don't really care if I had today off or not, since I'm already done with class. :P

Seems like weird weather is occurring all over the globe. Did a little research, and found out that a massive wind storm witnessed in Wellington, New Zealand was in response to a bombing low off the East Coast. Pressure dropped nearly 30 mb in about 20 hours. Wind gusts got up to 70 mph, with an isolated report of 85 mph.

Also, seems this summer has been very cool. Temperatures here have been lower than normal for much of the season...just as temperatures in much of the United States have been above average. At least it's raining every other day. :P

Actually, Austin is correct.  Two solar flares erupted from the sun, so we'll be experiencing a solar storm soon.  Some of you in the northern locations may have a chance to see the auroras if this storm is strong enough.  Here's a link with more information:  http://www.space.com/14811-huge-solar-flares-erupt-sun.html (http://www.space.com/14811-huge-solar-flares-erupt-sun.html)

So the NOAA/NWS website is really making me angry right now.  All day Thursday, and now today (everything was fine yesterday), I can't get an accurate, detailed forecast because I get this message: The 'Forecast At A Glance' icons, hourly weather graph feature, Spanish version, and temperatures in Celsius are temporarily not available for this location for technical reasons. We apologize for any inconvenience. Additionally, the local observations have not received a current update for almost 24 hours. :blink:  What's causing this?

It might be a local server error or something.  Try calling your Norman NWS office and see if they have any ideas.

When I lived in Massachusetts, that error message appeared whenever there was severe, rapidly changing weather in the area.  In that case, the forecast area expanded from my corner of the county to most of the eastern half of the state.

However, it's also conceivable that there are technical problems, updates, etc., that might be preventing a regular localized forecast on that page.  If you want the real answer, send your NWS office an email.  They're usually pretty good about responding.

Man, I can't believe it's already mid-March! Seems like just a week ago I stepped on the plane out to New Zealand. The trip is officially half-way complete, and by the time many of you read this, I will have left the seasonal climate of New Zealand and moved to the much more brutal Australia. They are currently dealing with tropical cyclones, wildfires, thunderstorms, flooding, and nasty heat to boot. Forecast for Melbourne tomorrow is 92 with rain.  :blink:

Just a month left and I'll be relaxing back in the States with some more lessons learned from hearing about perspectives on our country from Down Under. For those of you who have traveled overseas, have you heard anything about how foreigners view the USA?

Yes, but that was in France, :p but really not everyone in France is cynical of the USA, they seem to enjoy the diversity in the tourists who come to flock Paris. And everyone in Spain seemed really friendly and outgoing. Never had issues as a foreigner in Barcelona either. They have some really nice beaches and architecture which is a must see

That's an inaccurate reading.. the closest airport to L'Anse (Houghton, MI) is reporting 74°F at this hour. This is one of the reasons that I do not use HiRAD as a primary source for current conditions.. I don't even trust my own weather station at times! Before I check HiRAD or my weather station, I will always make sure that I use a reporting station with an IATA code.

I checked the local airport observations shortly after seeing it. That's what's unbelievable about it and that's why I posted it. It's the main reason why I hate HiRAD. That's why my IS2 reports inaccurate readings.

I really wish they would get rid of HiRAD, but I know they won't. The sky conditions that get reported on the IS here is usually always wrong too. If it says Partly Cloudy or Fair, it's Cloudy and vice versa, it's very annoying and it's slow about updating when precip moves in. The temp readings here aren't as bad as the sky obs are though, but sometimes they're way off base also.

I took a careful look at that area just to see if an airport nearby malfunctioned and gave a bad reading as it can happen and throw off HiRAD.  I found nothing, so it's all on TWC's end.  It's just another reminder to do your own sky observations and use official information when you really need it.  I have a list of 44 observations that I watch on a program at work. :yes:

There is one difference here however, were not in a La Nina pattern now like we were this time last year as a weak El Nino is still developing and should do so during the winter.

The GFS is one of the more reliable models of them all, the GFS and ECMWF I think tie. I do believe that because the GFS is capable of producing much more longer range forecasts than the ECMWF, it may not be accurate in the long run, but it sure does give us a general trend. I never conclude that whatever happens more than a week out on the model run will exactly happen the way the model is depicting it. But overall, it's really beneficial that it gives us a general pattern.

While I'll look at the GFS, I do not put much stock into it.  It failed me a lot this summer as I was learning how to forecast.  It is not good in drought-like situations.  I really like the ECMWF, and I don't mind the NAM either.

But you're right, TWCCraig, nothing after a week should be set in stone.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: phw115wvwx on October 02, 2012, 01:52:25 PM
You all need to look at ensemble models way more.  The operational ECMWF, GFS, and NAM models are just one determination for each.  However, if you change the parameters slightly in each one, you will come up with a larger collection of solutions where more will prefer one forecast over the other.  Those operational models can be outliers at times, which I have seen happen a fair bit.

Overall, the ECMWF is the best long-term model.  The ECMWF can be too slow, but the GFS can be too fast and aggressive.  Lately, I find that going in the middle of them is the way to go.  The NAM is best for convection and the first 24 hours, but it quickly loses value when you go out a few days.  Lastly, there are times that you must go against all of the models, because they can't capture all the small-scale features in your area.  Personal experience and knowledge of local weather patterns simply can't be understated when forecasting.

One of the most recent cases I saw was with our NBC affiliate and sister station MyAtlTV where they were saying subscribers to Dish should call in by midnight last night if they didn't want to lose those channels.

EDIT: Cable has it's problems, but I'm actually kinda glad I don't have Satellite service so I don't have to be bothered with that B.S every year.

Is Dish in the middle of another one of those stupid contract disputes? I've been seeing commercials on TV about certain TV shows/channels not being available on Dish. One of the most recent cases I saw was with our NBC affiliate and sister station MyAtlTV where they were saying subscribers to Dish should call in by midnight last night if they didn't want to lose those channels.
When disputes happen between providers and local channels, it's usually the owner of the channel that causes the blackout to occur, not the channel itself.

Ok, that makes sense because I've only seen about four channels advertising themselves as not being available on Dish anymore such as AMC (saw a Walking Dead Promo on FOX where they mentioned it) WeTV, and another channel I can't remember right now along with the two I already mentioned which made me curious to ask.

They seriously DON'T have anything better to do. That's the same pathetic fight they brought up about Mario wearing Tonooki(sp?) suits as a power up a couple of years ago which is strange itself because they didn't seem to put much emphasis on the fact that he wore frog, racoon, and penguin suits also.  <_<

I think that contestant suffered stage fright more than anything, but come on! :facepalm:  If I was the host, I would have also asked her the exact same question at 1:34!  Mental math ought to be a requirement in schools these days.  I really appreciate how much it has helped me in my life after competing in Math Field Day for eight years and still using those skills everyday.

I'm great at mental math, but if she was nervous like she said she was (and I'm pretty sure she was) your brain can flake out on you. That happens to me when I get nervous or anxious which is why I HATE taking tests. I also have a bad habit of second guessing right answers.

I have to admit - my mental math skills are pretty much zero, even when I'm in a totally calm environment.  Beginning in high school (20-some years ago) we were taught to pretty much rely on the calculator for everything, but before that we were expected to come up with answers in our heads, which I just could never do.

I was listening to my new age station on Pandora this morning, and it was playing a song by Yanni. While listening to the song, I couldn't help but notice how much it sounded like another new age song I knew. It took a few minutes, but it finally hit me. It sounds a lot like Ryan Farish's "Sunshine In The Rain." Listen to clips of the two songs below and tell me I'm not crazy.

Eh, I can kinda hear the resemblance at the beginning of both samples, but I think there's just enough difference to avoid anything as extreme as legal action. :yes:

This week (and part of last week also) we've been working in Adobe Illustrator in my Intro Design/Media Production Class. We had to do this flower drawing assignment today. I think it came out OK for a first timer like me using Illustrator, what do you guys think? :dunno: My teacher from that class thought it looked good while I was working on it so as long as she thinks it's good I guess that's all that matters.  :P

Ever since about two weeks ago, my house has been infested with fruit flies, so I made a homemade trap based on an article I read about online on how to get rid of the flies. I used a small bowl, poured a little bit of apple cider vinegar, and added a couple drops of dish soap. According to the article I was reading about, the vinegar attracts the fruit flies, and once they land on the surface of the cider with dish soap, they fall in and drown. So far, it's working, as it has killed a few of those pesky fruit flies  :happy:  :dance:  Now I have my fingers crossed, hoping this trap will kill all, if not, most of the fruit flies in my house.


BTW, here is the link to the article I was reading about on how to kill the fruit flies.

Forgot to mention this but when I was at the 4th Tri-State Weather Conference on Saturday, I got to have lunch with the longest running primary meteorologist on a radio station, Craig Allen (yes we have the same name, I was named after him). I also got to speak with WCBS-TV's primary prime time meteorologist Lonnie Quinn, though he's not a real meteorologist. It was a great conference. I'm surprised at my self how well I was able to understand what they were talking about, especially when they went into detail about mesocyclones and dual-polarization radar.

I'm glad you had fun and could understand what was being said!  Wait until you're in college and possibly giving one of those presentations someday for graduate school.  It's quite a thrill, and I can say it from experience. :yes:

Did you get a NWAS12 lunchbag :P Eleanor from the Taunton office was shipping a bunch of them up there last week.

NWAS12 in Madison was fantastic but a bit cold. It was great catching up with a lot of the industries leading OCMs and operational mets. Jim and Nick were fun to chat with again. I was disappointed the the Department of Commerce sought fit to remove nearly 75% of funding for NWS employees to attend one day before the event. What a low move

Annual AHAB Tsunami Siren Test- October 18, 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLa8XOkZg0M#ws)

Okay, so here is my video footage of the annual tsunami siren drill, which is different than the monthly routine test.

For some reason, this siren did not go off during the test  :blink:  but I did hear other siren wails echoing in the distance. Luckily, a friend of mine was also filming the test at another siren pole in the Long Beach area. Later on I grabbed the audio portion from his video and then merged the audio with my video.

Enjoy the video clip  :thumbsup:

I don't remember the last time I went trick or treating - it was before I turned 13. Still, I loved those Milky Ways. I still do, actually.

This year I may go trick-or-treating again with a bunch of friends with AMS and hit our professors' neighborhood, like they do every year. I recently looked into a three-piece suit that makes me look like Al Capone.

Well, I'm sure most of you probably know about this already since it's been all over the news, but it was a sad day for Texans today as the 60-year-old "Big Tex" icon at the State Fair of Texas burned down this morning.  The most probable cause was faulty wiring, as his mouth and arms move when he delivers his classic "Howdy folks, and welcome to the State Fair of Texas" speech.

I'm kind of mad at the city of Dallas, not only at the fire department for taking (what seems to me) too long to arrive but also no police or security telling people to back up from the flames (well I guess they do at the very end of the video, but still).  You never know what fires can do, and I think some of those fair-goers were a little too close for comfort.

Hey guys! How's everyone been lately?  B)

It's been nearly a month since I've been on the forums. Ya know...college workload is quite challenging to deal with. I had 3 exams last week and I have 2 more coming up. Bio and Chem at the same time is a very though workload...if any of you guys are taking a science class in college, I'd recommend taking one science class at a time. Taking two different ones can be overwhelming. But now I have some breathing room since I dropped my Calc class yesterday. I'll try to come online more often it's just that I have so many things to do and so little time to accomplish.  :wacko:

My chem exam is on Halloween night.   :thumbdown: I don't really eat that much candy anymore but if there was to choose..I'd probably stick with Jolly Ranchers. I've always loved Jolly Ranchers, especially the grape and cherry flavored types.  :happy: I also like the cookies n' creme Hershey bars and Kisses. Nerds are also another candy I like to eat, they are tangy and sweet at the same time.

I feel all the money spent on advertising should instead be going to support our country.  Many of the ads aren't even by the candidates themselves.  People have already decided on who will get their vote, and the debates are a far more useful tool than these ads.  Only a few states get targeted as the others are simply untouched, and I don't feel it's fair that the votes in a few states will count way more than those in other states.

If I had any control on how our election works, I would propose a drastic change:  Only the popular vote would decide the winner of all races.  I'd have the polls open during daylight hours from Election Day on Tuesday all the way to the following Sunday, but you can still only vote once.  There would be no excuse for not showing up at the polls in my idea.  Then, all the votes would be tallied in the following week, and the results would be announced when it's final.  Everyone's vote would actually count, and voter turnout would be significantly higher.  I'd argue it's well worth the extra time and effort proposed in my system given how important these elections are in our country.

Romney must feel pretty darn good about GA because I've only seen Pro Obama ads here since the campaign, unfortunately Romney will win us. This state hasn't been blue since Clinton.

Also it feels good to have phone/internet service again!  :happy:

I feel all the money spent on advertising should instead be going to support our country.  Many of the ads aren't even by the candidates themselves.  People have already decided on who will get their vote, and the debates are a far more useful tool than these ads.  Only a few states get targeted as the others are simply untouched, and I don't feel it's fair that the votes in a few states will count way more than those in other states.

If I had any control on how our election works, I would propose a drastic change:  Only the popular vote would decide the winner of all races.  I'd have the polls open during daylight hours from Election Day on Tuesday all the way to the following Sunday, but you can still only vote once.  There would be no excuse for not showing up at the polls in my idea.  Then, all the votes would be tallied in the following week, and the results would be announced when it's final.  Everyone's vote would actually count, and voter turnout would be significantly higher.  I'd argue it's well worth the extra time and effort proposed in my system given how important these elections are in our country.
That's really a great idea!  :thumbsup: I think this system could also give third-party candidates a greater chance of getting votes, since they don't really get many electoral votes nowadays, if any at all.

I think there are problems with both the electoral college process and the popular vote process, but I do think overall our elections should be handled differently. I find it amusing that the Republicans are almost guaranteed 24 states, and the Democrats only 17, yet the Democrats have a significant lead in the EC because of powerhouses like California, New York, and Pennsylvania. The only real big player Republicans have is...well, Texas and sometimes Florida.

Ohio is going to be fierce, though. If any one state is going to decide this election, it's going to be Ohio.

Hate to abruptly break the topic…

Last week, Univision revealed its new logo, which will debut on-air in 2013. Now that I've seen it, I think it's ugly and I hate it. It just looks childish IMHO.

To compare, here's the current logo (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Univision_logo.svg/200px-Univision_logo.svg.png).

I am not a fan of Windows 8 - it seems more suitable for a tablet. In my oh-so very humble opinion, Microsoft is taking a gamble with this. If sales don't come through as they hope, Microsoft may face some really hard times ahead - I wouldn't be half-surprised to see the company go under.

I have also taken advantage of the 39.99 Windows 8 upgrade. The new OS is much improvement to Windows 7 once you learn how to use it. The apps in conjunction with the desktop makes it a multi-tasking powerhouse.

Microsoft is one of the largest software companies in the world. It's not going to go under based off of Windows 8 sales alone. Windows 8 may get negative attention like Vista did, and they would recover with the next OS release like they did with Windows 7.

Overall, the future of technology sales doesn't look that great. Technology has seemed to slow down in terms of major advancements. Computer's and computing devices aren't becoming obsolete so quickly anymore. Even Apple will see the impacts of this slow-down and the post-pc world.

Not uncommon after larger quakes, especially along subduction zones. Be glad they're smaller aftershocks allowing the fault/zone to "de-stress" instead of having another one whack the region.

Thanks, Gary.  However, things haven't been as great though here due to a lot of complaining about TWC lately. :hmm:  I made a thread to address some problems on the forum lately and come up with new topics to help people feel better and become more interested, but I feel not many people are taking advantage of it.  I'm linking it here so more members can see I'm trying to do something proactive about the complaining:

We have election day off so teachers have time available to vote. Some teachers here have busy lives and don't have much time to vote. Now since my school district wants to make up days, we now have school on election day. Most public schools around the country have election day off from what I heard.

OK, is something wrong with certain NWS sensors nation-wide?  Attached below is the past report for Norman.  Though not as crazy as what Zach posted, we never had snow or rain in the forecast. :blink:

EDIT: Looks like they fixed it after that "NA" reading above.

Andy and Zach, now you see why there still have to be humans like me to quality control these automated observations for climate reports. ;)  Even the best airport stations have equipment with known issues that can occur.  The present weather sensor on all sites (AWOS and ASOS) can be fooled by dense fog into thinking that it's raining or snowing.  Taking accurate weather observations is a bigger challenge than most people realize.

Yesterday, I saw the most amazing surface vortex, picking up leaves. It began in a field behind a restaurant, pulling in air and leaves. It went across a road, and eventually ended a couple minutes later in a parking lot of a different restaurant. The vortex extended from the surface to probably at least 100 feet.

After a very close race, Democrat Jay Inslee will be the next governor of my home state of Washington. Republican Rob McKenna conceded the governor's race to Inslee earlier this evening.

The last Republican governor of Washington state was John Spellman, who left office in 1985, just two and half years before I was born. Since then, all governors have been Democrats.

Holiday season in retail.  I have Tuesday and Wednesday off... supposedly.  Actually, most likely.  The extra hours for next week are going to an employee who recently got a promotion, so, in terms of seniority, he's ahead of me in line to get those extra hours.

I'm not happy at all if stores are opening on Thanksgiving solely for Christmas business.  I feel Thanksgiving is the most unappreciated and underrated holiday on the calendar, yet it's one of the most important given its meaning and how much it means today for people who are still struggling in life.  We all need to learn how to be more thankful for what we do have.

Terrible, you're supposed to be having dinner with friends and family while being thankful for what you already have, not wasting hundreds or dollars on a bunch of crap you can find better deals on AFTER Thanksgiving anyway. It makes me so mad I'm gonna go outside right now and shake my fist angrily at random cars passing by.

Damn Overly-Commercialized Christmas!!!

Comcast has been moving to get all of their cable boxes on the same operating platform (iGuide) over the past few years..... Once that is done (won't be for possible 2-3 more years), then all the updates and ugprades will be delivered to all users at the same time. SARA hasn't really seen any updates at all over the past several years, so it's only feasible to move all of their boxes to the same platform. iGuide has its moments though.

I used to eat a lot of Twinkies when I was a kid. I would always have one a day as an after-school snack. It's kinda sad that there won't be any more Twinkies now that Hostess is gonna close all of its factories  :(  Might as well go buy one more box of Twinkies while I still can.

I can almost guarantee that someone will purchase the Twinkies line of products from Hostess, they won't let a staple just die out like that.

I've only had them once. I thought they were quite good but they are so full of trans fats and sugars. I remember that one commercial from 2000 when a twinkie came out of a swimming pool. I think it was something like that...a lady was in the pool and then a twinkie came up from nowhere. I remember that commercial as if it was yesterday :)

I've certainly had the cupcakes and Twinkies from Hostess.  I found a couple Hostess commercials on Youtube that I remember watching during the 90s that I'll share here.  Enjoy!

That just might happen for the Twinkies product, but the other products are not of the question though, too early to say yet in the short term...

Little will be decided at Monday afternoon's hearing before Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain, Pottow said. The judge eventually will appoint a company that specializes in liquidation to sell the assets, and the sale probably will take six months to a year to complete, Pottow said.

I'm working 5:00 am to 2:00 pm on Thanksgiving and 4:30 am to 1:30 pm on Black Friday.  It's not so bad, though - I still get to go home relatively early in the day, and, even though I have to deal with the biggest crowds both days, rushing to take advantage of the biggest sales, it will eventually pass, my days will come to an end, and I'll be able to go home while the store is still bustling with customers.  It's a psychological thing - it will seem like a half day at school.  :)

Otherwise, I have no Thanksgiving plans... other than sleeping.

You're all lucky!  I can't start my Thanksgiving break until after 10 PM tomorrow as I work an evening shift.  It figures that I'm the one doing the balloon launch while everyone else is eating dinner with family at a normal time or sleeping as some of you indicated. :hmm:  There are plenty of others in the NWS in the same boat as well.  It's a good thing I like weather and get compensated for it, or I would really start feeling lonely during the holidays, and I work Christmas evening this year, too.

I appreciate hearing it from you, Donovan. :thumbsup:  It seems like every time the holidays roll around, I get rather depressed as I don't have many friends outside of you all here.  It becomes a very lonely time for me when I have to work and not see my family as much as you all do.  You probably noticed my tone lately has changed after seeing everyone else with wonderful Thanksgiving ideas that I could only wish for in my own life. :(

For once I wont be travelling but staying at home. I was in San Diego last weekend and flew back Sunday night. I'm looking forward to a nice dinner and some extra sleeping!

I was there last weekend! O___O

How was it? :D
Haha small world :P If I had known you were there I would have said hi. It was fabulous! So much warmer and nicer than back here in the east. : Welcome back by the way. Its great to have you around the forums again :)

Thank you :D I know right! The weather is just fab and I miss it so much. Wish I lived there for another year. Hopefully that'll happen next year :)

So, I did some Black Friday shopping, and I am now the proud owner of a 5th-gen iPod touch (blue). :D I wanted since it first came out, but I changed my mind once the iPad mini came out. Then, I changed my mind again, and I decided that I preferred the iPod all along. :P I'm absolutely loving it! :)

So, the Powerball is now worth half a billion, excluding taxes. If you took the lump sum and then had taxes deducted, you would have just over $212 million dollars in your bank account.

Don't know about you, but I'm sure gonna buy a ticket just so I can have a stake. What would you do with half a billion dollars?

Hmm, let's see...

- Well, I would first start off sharing some with the closest members of my family, especially my grandmother, it's the very least I can do for her. :happy:
- I would probably buy me a really nice house, not necessarily a mansion, just a really nice place to stay.
- A car (or two...or three) :P
- I would donate a portion to various charities.
- I would invest some money into starting my own internet TV production company where I can start producing my own cartoon series and hire cartoonists/animators, writers, etc. to help me in producing them. :D
-What's left I would put away for safe keeping.

Um, that's it I think.

If you bought a ticket in Arizona or Missouri, you have a chance as those were the two states where the winning Powerball tickets were sold.

This is the true spirit of Christmas... Being thankful for what you already have in your life. Back in October, my mother collapsed on the floor unable to get up. No amount of effort on mine or my dad's part could get my mom up and back in to her room. We called an ambulance, she was taken to the hospital. That night, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, with damage to her liver and spleen. The damage to her heart is unrepairable. She, unfortunately, is a smoker and has diabetes and neuropathy (damaged/dead nerves) thus is not capable of being a candidate for a new heart if this were to ever come to light. Over the course of the past few months, she has started to lose the ability to walk. She can sort of walk, but only with a walker and one of us (me or my dad) being with her incase she falls. I am truly thankful that I still have time with my mom, as we do not know how much longer we have with her. I, as well as her, are taking things one day at a time and we are working through our own rehabilitation to hopefully regain full control of her walking abilities.

Jesse, I'm very sorry to hear that about your mother. It's never easy when your loved ones take a turn like that (my grandmother did a few months back). I hope the months ahead are easier for you, as I'm sure they will be a bit tough. Best wishes.   :(

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, Jesse. I am praying for her to get better soon. My mom herself is also a diabetic and has to deal with kidney failure and severe nerve issues so this hits me personally too. I can't even fathom the thought of losing her so hang in there my friend. If you need someone to talk just send me a PM. At least your mom is not miserable is she? I think the best case is for her to be as comfortable as she can be at this point

Jesse, I really hope things get better for you and your mom.  With regards to Christmas, the idea of giving should be something you do out of your heart toward the people you care about most.  We all agree that this holiday is way too commercialized.  Sometimes, the best gifts don't have a price tag on them.  In your case, being there for your mom and giving her time and support is perhaps the best Christmas gift she could ask here.  Holidays really set a standard that are almost too ideal for everyone.  We need to step back and be grateful for what we have and to show hope and love toward the people we care about most.  Good luck, Jesse!

Please, take mine. We didn't get above 20 today and our temperatures should fall below 0 late week with another arctic blast.  :brr: Frankly, I can't wait to get back in the south and enjoy some warmth.

There's a slight chance for rain and snow down here Sunday night. :blink:  Originally the models had blizzard-like conditions for us next week; I don't think (and certainly hope) that's not going to happen, as I have finals next week.  And supposedly, if the campus is closed during finals week and we can't take them, then we would have to take them after Christmas break.  Yikes!

Mac, too bad our five consecutive days of 70+ degree temps didn't make it up your way.  If only I could send you the 60s we're enjoying now.  I know it's December and almost winter, but I'm not looking forward to the forecasted high of 41 degrees come Monday.  (Yes, I know that's probably a warm front to some of you, but I'm from the south! :P )

The pattern right now is very similar to last year around the same time, which is probably very frustrating for those of you on the East Coast, who are getting slightly warmer temperatures and mild ridging over your area. The colder air continues to remain to the north and west - and even then, it's not as cold as it should be. Hopefully the pattern will change later in the season, but for many of us winter is off to a disappointing start.  :club:

Every city does have some danger to it, but some of these cities you have to be actively doing something stupid in order to get mugged/robbed, or live in a neighborhood rampant with crime. But not every city has multiple public shootings within a week.

You'd think New York would be rampant with crime, but two Mondays ago they had zero murders for the first time in a very, very long time.

If anybody watched the 12.12.12 concert on Ion Television last night, they cut it short at 12:30AM by airing an episode of WWE Main Event. According to the network's Facebook page, there were a lot of people who were pissed off at the network for cutting the concert short, with some even threatening to boycott the network. I was one of the viewers who watched the Ion broadcast, and man, was I mad!  :angry:

UPDATE: My dad just emailed me and said that he recorded the whole concert from HBO on DVR  :thrilled:  so I'll be able to watch what I've missed when I head over across the state to my parents' house in a couple of weeks.

Jersey this and Jersey that and NYC and NYC that. If it wasn't for Billy Joel, Long Island would have never been mentioned, other than Long Beach. And what about Connecticut, or Maryland?

For those of you majoring or majored in meteorology, did you take Chemistry and how useful was it for your major? My school requires 2 semesters of chem and a semester of biology which Im almost done completing once I finish my finals. I don't see much need for chem in this field besides measuring atmospheric pressure which I think is more physics oriented

New Jersey and Long Island were the hardest hit areas, far more than Connecticut and Maryland.

I took one semester of gen Chem my freshman year of college (that's what OU requires for its met majors).  Of course, I think that's the most popular gen-ed science class, so it was HUGE (300+ students).  We have to take another semester of gen-ed science, but it doesn't have to be the second level of gen Chem (instead, it can be biology, geology, botany, etc.)

As far as Chem's usefulness: depending on how your college handles physics, you'll find that the first part of Physics 2 which deals with thermodynamics is actually somewhat of a repeat of what you learned in Chem (i.e. the ideal gas law, atmospheric pressure, etc.)  However, things such as organic chemistry or drawing Lewis structures, probably aren't so important to a met major.

Again, I was required to take at least one semester of gen Chem, and it was an easy course for me, but if you don't take it, I don't think you'll be missing out on much.  Hope that helps a little. :)

Unfortunately, as I believe someone here mentioned, the holidays can be a time of increased violence because of many factors, the primary one I would assume being depression.  I wish those who do suffer these problems would talk to counselors or someone, rather than kill innocent others, but sometimes these are things we just can't control. :(

I only needed one semester of general Chemistry.  It's helpful due to the gas laws, understanding of heat and energy, and the chemical reactions that occur in our atmosphere relating to air quality.  Physics is definitely more important, and I had to take two semesters of it just to give you an idea.

I'm afraid these shootings come in waves as some people on the brink emotionally due to financial, academic, and self-confidence issues see others doing it and suddenly just "lose it" and think it's a good idea.  They're angered and depressed so much that sanity and logic simply vanish.  In this instance, the shooter shot his own mom and her class as she was a teacher there.  It tells you something went horribly wrong in this family.

Our country must do a far better job in learning more about mental health and seeking help.  We're way too divided and influenced by our high standards of living that make some feel a complete failure if they can't meet everything.  It's time to go back to the basics and be thankful for what you have in life.  Thanksgiving and Christmas now really mean something when you view the holidays from this down-to-earth perspective.

Eric and Craig, why don't you both start reaching out to people more?  If you both really feel this way, you should at least try to let others know you need help.  It wouldn't hurt to find some clubs or support groups.  Even when you feel the worst, realize that there is good in this world.  You just have to search hard for it.

The winter solstice arrived at 6:12 AM EST just as I was fighting the cold wind to launch my balloon this morning.  The world is still here in one piece, which means this myth of the "end of the world" occurring today is:

(http://www.plowsunlimited.com/archive/generateditems/images/mythbusters/bustedplacard.jpg)

Now, can everyone on Earth please stop being so obsessed about when the world is going to end and concentrate on the present to make the future better?  There's a lot of good we could do right now if we all worked together and focused our effort into defined goals.  The reality is that no one will ever know exactly when the world will end and how it will occur, so why worry about it when you only have one life to live for yourself!  When you understand how our universe works and see how much of it is so inhospitable to where life is simply impossible, you'll quickly realize how very lucky and special we are.

The start menu is in the bottom left corner, where it always has been. If you do the same function as you would with Windows 7 and just click there, it will appear. Just zoom over to that corner and click, it'll pop-up. Personally, I don't mind this issue as I've always just hit the key on the keyboard to open the menu.

If it's under 5GB, you can use Google drive and just download it. Or either get a large flash drive. You can usually find 16GB flash drives in Walmart or something for under $15 for a transfer. As for backup's, I don't really see the point if you used Google drive or something like that since it's always there on your computer and will sync pretty quickly when you make changes. I'd recommend trying it out, it's nice for Cloud storage. In terms of it backing up your files on it's own schedule, you don't have that luxury here.

Windows 7 was released in 2009 Vista 2007 and XP in 2001. Microsoft is increasing product release times in an attempt to keep an up to date and relevant product similar to Macs yearly update. Windows 8.5 is expected to be released next year. I would expect 9 will probably come out just another year after that. Windows XP works just fine so perhaps Microsoft should have stopped development and continue selling a 12 year old piece of software.  :rolleyes:

Skydrive is built right into Windows 8 and lets you access all of your files via web browser or through explorer on any Windows computer. It even works on Mac. You get 5gb free space just for having a Microsoft account and if you had signed up when it first came out, you'll be grandfathered in to 25gb of free space.

I'm probably one of the few who's still kicking around with XP with my main desktop PC, although most other PCs in my household have 7 or 8 on them. I do plan on replacing this old PC at some point next year. I have tested out Windows 8 on my Dell laptop I no longer use regularly, and I did get accustomed to the Metro UI and all of the other changes pretty quickly. So going from XP to 8 shouldn't be too big of a leap for me. :)

Besides my desktop, I use OS X 10.6.8 on my trusty old MacBook.

Neat! It'll be interesting knowing the conditions in your area, especially since I like studying the weather not only here, but elsewhere. I also have a PWS of my own, I'm sure you and many others know. Does any else have a PWS?

When I'm at home, I'm practically right on top of the airport and it has an ASOS. It's the same at school. So having one is kinda moot for me.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Mike M on December 31, 2012, 11:55:28 PM
I live literally 3 miles (as the crow flies) from the nearest ASOS station, so I haven't found a need for one either.

As for Windows 8, I generally don't mind it, however it would be nice if it was more customizable as they removed the old advanced control settings. Meaning I can no longer change the title text color, which I always had white since I prefer dark title bars. <_<

I've also been having a hard time getting many of the apps to work, such as the weather app. It tries to launch but just quits, and I haven't found any solutions to it. Same with the weather channel app. So the start screen is basically useless for me (I have a mod installed so I can still use the start menu).

I am just sad we're about enter that post-New Year's Day period.  The time after the holidays just seems very dull to me.  I can understand some debate here, but I enjoy the holiday season, so when there's a long stretch without a true holiday, and when it's cold and usually dreary outside, it's just not fun.  (And I would argue that Memorial Day is the next "true" holiday.  Maybe MLK day could be counted, but certainly not Valentine's Day, and I hesitate to include Easter as well.)

This was my first Christmas in a couple of years when I didn't have to work.  I agree with you - it did feel exactly like a normal Tuesday.  To me, it was just a day off like any other.  Besides that, I had no one to celebrate the holiday with, so I just stayed home and enjoyed a day away from bizarro customers. :)

Unfortunately, retail rewards bad behavior.  If you scream loudly enough, attract enough attention to yourself, and complain over and over again, you will eventually get whatever you want, no matter how unfair it is to the store or to everyone else.

I could (and probably should) write a book on the miserable behavior of customers.  I honestly don't understand how it's possible to live that way - always angry, always complaining, always finding something wrong.  I personally couldn't live that way.  My mother does, and she is a constant source of unremitting stress in my entire family.

I'd rather shop after Christmas if I had a choice.  Obviously, things will be picked over from earlier, but I find decent deals and get all I need without any of the hassles from other customers.  Does it really matter if you're the first in getting the latest and greatest item? :rolleyes:  There's one huge reason why this country has such a problem with personal finances.

I agree, plus many online retailers offer even deeper discounts the days before Black Friday, I just don't get the big deal. Supply and demand often dictates how many people want to purchase a particular type of product at any given price.

My store was actually busier on Thanksgiving than on Black Friday.  I was left all alone in the electronics department, surrounded by over a hundred screaming, yelling, pushing, shoving, impatient customers.  Eventually, the mob got so unruly (absolutely no one wanted to wait in line - everyone had to be first!) that I ended up having to call store security to restore some order.

Sadly its the twisted distorted American vision that people need to buy tons of crap! Somehow it helps people rationalize making foolish purchases that they can't afford. I do black friday shopping sometimes simply because I like browsing around the stores at the holiday season seeing whats in stock. Its sad how fast this country is declining. It wouldn't surprise me if stores stay open on Thanksgiving and even Christmas in the near future.

Instead of just having the date and time that the currents were last updated, I made it look like the actual IntelliStar and on the LDL space is the location's name with the CC icon and temperature.

There are no plans to make it the final and it's only on the original 2004-2005 IntelliStar style for now, so it's available at this form here for you guys to try at your location: http://zach.dyndns-work.com:53205/cc/betaform.php (http://zach.dyndns-work.com:53205/cc/betaform.php)

Haha, I feel the same way. :P  I took the most basic Computer Science class last semester (programming for non-majors) and just didn't have much of an interest for it.  But I was required to take it.  The assignments we had were very tedious and, IMO, too tedious for a non-major class.

Additionally, we programmed in C language, which most students claimed is a "dead" language.  I am not sure if this is true or not; I've also heard from some where it is the easiest language to learn having no prior programming knowledge, so maybe that is the reason why.

Just the ability to read and learn code and be able to utilize it in programming is important in Meteorology.  A computer science class was required for my degree, but I had a choice between C++ and FORTRAN.  The ability to do programming is actually way more important than people think, especially when you consider all the computers used in weather.

Agreed with Patrick.

It is a requirement for the meteorology degree at my university.  We also had the choice between Fortran and C++.  C++ was (for whatever reason) required for my first Dynamics course, so I chose that.  A couple friends took a meteorology class where Fortran was HEAVILY used.

Honestly, I'm getting of all these news stories having to do with her and whatnot. She's already been laid to rest; so should these headlines.

It is always interesting to see how different regions respond to snowfall. Obviously since the south is usually ill-prepared for the white stuff, the reactions to snowfall down there are slightly more hysterical than reactions farther north (this is just what I've noticed).

Well, they learned their lesson from the January 9, 2011 Snowstorm and bought/have a total of 75 snow removal trucks, in addition they have 1,900 other pieces of equipment with other outside companies for backup. We only had 10 total at the time this snowstorm hit so that's a HUGE improvement in my opinion. They didn't get to be used last winter since it was mild and snowless, we'll see how they do tomorrow.

Just be lucky you guys don't live here. Over the past 7 days, the closest we got to winter was just some sleet this morning. Otherwise, the temperatures have been swinging, after it being mild and having some 60's, the tulips are sprouting. Now it's been 30's and damp, cloudy, and dark. It's really depressing, worst place to live if you want sun. Heck, even some palm trees still have green on them and are still alive. Next week may bring some cold air, though I'm skeptical of how cold it will get. I say only as cold as maybe 15°F. Coldest temp so far this season is only 23°F. Snow chances are small, at most a few inches, and if some of the individual members come to fruition, then we could talk maybe a foot. Otherwise, cold, dry and brown for a while.  :wall:

Yeah, but you don't want extremes. We've had multiple nights this month with temperatures falling well below zero - today we had a warm front move through and we got our high temperature at midnight: 37 degrees. It's been falling ever since (we're at -3 right now), and our highs are going to be sub-zero in a few days. The wind is always breezy nowadays so the wind chills are always quite dangerous. It's that time of year where you avoid going outside if you can help it.

For those wind chill values of -57°F on that map, you would get frostbite on dry exposed skin in about 2 minutes.  Obviously, it would be even shorter if the skin was wet.  I think you're better off just staying inside.

I'm very bothered and concerned by TWC choosing to have their forecast disregard our NWS office's Freezing Rain Advisory because they are going to be held responsible for purposely creating confusion among the public here if they look at the local news media outlets and hear, "Freezing Rain possible on Friday" and yet they look at TWC and all they'll see is "49 degrees and rain". Granted, confidence is low in how severe ice will be if it accumulates or whether it occurs at all, however, if TWC had any common sense they would cover their behinds and have their forecast somewhat reflect the NWS just in case it turns out worse than expected.

I know TWC isn't affiliated with the NWS like they were in the 80s, 90s, and 00s, but shouldn't they still be coordinating with them in situations like this anyway so they can prevent confusion?

EDIT: Here's a snippet of what is our NWS office's justification for the Freezing Rain Advisory and worse case scenario concerns. Hmm...I wonder if those thoughts in red ever crossed their minds at TWC.

That's why I don't even bother with TWC anymore. Ever since they've stopped coordinating with the NWS, their forecasts are inaccurate.  And sometimes TWC tries to be too accurate (True-point ****) and fails completely. The NWS, which I find more accurate, is overshadowed by a company that doesn't give accurate forecasts anymore. During the spring, TWC over does the effect of the ocean and their high temps are off a good 3-4 degrees everyday. People pay taxes for services like the NWS and most of them don't even know it exists.

I completely agree with what Craig has to say. I seriously do not understand how companies like TWC can have that much self pride in their forecasts when they are so inaccurate. How can a room of <10 people compete with the hundreds of NWS workers that make the national forecast grids? Explain to me how they can get that level of detail and accuracy into a forecast. It's simple, they can't. TWC is a joke and so are their forecasts.

A forecast low for Friday night of 31° has become a forecast low of 43° over the course of three days.  Sure, this isn't as big of a deal as an ice storm forecast that turns out to be wrong, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Well, math is the language of everything in the world and is a the only way to problem solve. If you can get through the four years of math, you'll be a lot better off. At least mets don't use those levels of math daily, now that we have computers, anyway.

By what I've heard, apparently Calc 1 is relatively simple, Calc 2 makes you want to die, Calc 3 seems much simpler, and then Dif Eq. tries to finish you off (at least that's how our department jokes about it). That, on top of Physics and Chemistry, can make it a numerical nightmare. Trust me though, it is so worth it.

Speaking of which, has anyone heard anything good about the Meteorology graduate program at Chicago University? I'm willing to go there for graduate studies but the price of living in the suburbs is...well, sky high.

If you don't care about being AMS certified you could do MSUs program. It's not math intensive so not as highly regarded by some but if you want to go into media its an option. You can still get NWA certified for now at least.

I don't hate math. I like math and am willing to work hard for it, but like most majors out there (not just meteorology but engineering, computer science, finance, etc), they are math intensive not necessarily because of the math itself but because it teaches you the logic behind in mastering the concepts, and using that logic is vital for many careers.

Also my best friend is a material sciences engineering major and told me the same thing. She's doing Calc 4 and told me Calc 2 was the worst. In Rutgers it supposedly has the highest fail rate of any math course. She failed it once along with her other friends failing maybe twice. Calc 3 was medium but interesting, Calc 4 was a lot easier and Calc 1 is either difficult or managable depending on how you approach the material. I'm retaking Calc 1 because I failed it last semester but I am taking the Economics/Business/bio Calc and not the regular calc that engineers and physical science majors take.

I like weather, I'm not exactly the most passionate weather enthusiast but after all the recent stress, I can safely say it is the only profession I can truly see myself in and the only career I'd be the most satisfied about. The severe weather aspect is by far the most fascinating part of meteorology to me and our school has a pretty decent met program. My question is in the NWS and other weather organizations where you might work, would you lose your job if you had tremendous difficulty with the math required for your field? I am willing to work hard to pursue my future its just that I am not finding any majors that deeply appeal to me besides met.

I'm not sure. Most of the mathematical equations that you use in meteorology can be handled by the computer, at least with what I've learned so far. When you get into more complicated matters (thermodynamics, synoptic, physical meteorology), I'm not so sure.

You might also consider private companies as well. I've come to the conclusion after volunteering at my local WFO, attending several meteorological conferences and talking to many in the industry that the NWS isn't for me. Nothing against those who work there but the schedule is tedious and the upper level management outside the local WFOs is a mess. I can't tell you how many people who work there have told me to avoid it. It's a big field so keep your options open.

We have a company here called Merridian that forecasts road conditions across much of the country - it requires precise temperature forecasts up to the tenth of a degree.

UPS has a large forecasting branch based in Kentucky (Louisville, I think) that forecasts weather conditions across the entire world for their international shipments. FedEx has the same thing.

The big, big advantage I can point to for the private sector versus the NWS is that pay is usually better and the ease of moving into higher positions is not as complicated. The downside is that if you want to issue warnings/watches...well, NWS is pretty much your only option.

Our town has been changing the street lights in our town for the past couple of years. Recently they've been working in our area and they've already changed them on the corner. There's a street light in front of my house that still has to be changed, probably tomorrow or over the next couple of days they'll change it. They are changing them from your typical high pressure sodium lights, to energy efficient induction lights. http://sayville.patch.com/articles/town-of-islip-announces-start-of-energy-efficient-street-light-upgrade-program (http://sayville.patch.com/articles/town-of-islip-announces-start-of-energy-efficient-street-light-upgrade-program)

This process is much slower here.  The local electric companies in my area are still installing sodium lights.  Up until a few years ago, there were still new mercury lights being installed, but that stopped abruptly when new installations or sales of mercury lights were banned.  As the existing mercury lights burn out, they are being replaced with sodium lights.

WFO stands for Weather Forecast Office, but Mike explained the rest well.  It can be stressful to work the hours, and you all have seen it in my schedule.  Private sector companies want highly specific skills as they perform focused tasks in broadcasting, consulting, and forecasting for companies.  However, overall job security is weaker in this sector, and the best examples are the turnover and layoffs at TWC or any news station.  Meanwhile, I have a secure career in the NWS.  I did my first winter headline today as I expanded a winter weather advisory in my area for the snow and sleet.

Victor, only you can make the decision of what you want to do in your life.  Martin and I have taken different paths simply because we have different approaches and personalities.  Martin, I hope you have way better luck with the private sector than I did, because the NWS was the only way I became a full-time meteorologist.  I never heard a single response from the private sector even though I applied for numerous openings during my job search a couple years ago!

From what I hear, the frequent schedule changes is probably the worst downside to working at the NWS. Also, a masters degree in meteorology or a related a field (such as physics) really increases your chances of getting a better job. That's also what I've heard from a few NWS mets.

Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it. I have never heard of the WFO before until now.

Is working for the NWS really that stressful? I don't want to come across rude if I'm asking this.

Also for grad school would majoring in Physics undergrad and for a Meteorology Masters/PhD degree recommended? I am not making any choices solely from these options but I just wanted to hear some feedback or thoughts about this. Going to see a career counselor tomorrow morning for more discussion.
From what I hear, the frequent schedule changes is probably the worst downside to working at the NWS. Also, a masters degree in meteorology or a related a field (such as physics) really increases your chances of getting a better job. That's also what I've heard from a few NWS mets.
This is what I have heard as well. Masters makes you a better rounded and more competitive applicant. There are virtually no meteorologist jobs in NJ. My local news station WMGM had two positions lately but were both filled: A weekend meteorologist and a met intern.

Our NBC affiliate is getting a major overhaul in a new set (they donated their old set to a local high school for their journalism program) graphics packages, music, and apparently a new weather video wall. The chief met Mike Francis posted this picture of him standing n front of it on FB.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=482151738497291&set=a.371741999538266.80663.352902198088913&type=1 (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=482151738497291&set=a.371741999538266.80663.352902198088913&type=1)

Something else I think will be an interesting concept is their lower thirds/news ticker will display more detailed information on each news story they are covering and will be color coded similar to USAToday, one of the partners they're affiliated with.

Here's a short video explaining this change by Brenda Wood
http://www.11alive.com/news/article/274112/318/A-new-look-for-11Alive (http://www.11alive.com/news/article/274112/318/A-new-look-for-11Alive)

The changes are supposed to occur in February, I'm assuming February 5th because I heard this morning it's supposed to be on a Tuesday during the noon broadcast and they have been vaguely advertising February as the month that it would take place.

Trevor, I knew she worked there a few years before moving here (I also saw a few YT videos of her from that same station a few years back) and started working at WAGA-TV in the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, at that time WAGA was a CBS affiliate, but in Dec. 1994 they switched affiliations with FOX who they are still with today. She left that station about 2 years after for WXIA-TV where she has been ever since.

You would want something like it when you start having more complex situations like handling mutual funds and stocks, owning a home and paying mortgage interest, moving and having to account for state taxes everywhere you gained income, and trying to find the most deductions so that you really pay the amount of taxes you should.  It really has helped me during the past few years.  I completed mine in an hour and got everything e-filed and approved. :yes:

Happy Groundhog Day! Depending on where you live you're either predicted to see an Early Spring or 6 more weeks of Winter.

Good Old Phil says Spring is comin' early, however here in GA General Lee says Winter is here to stay the next several weeks. These two are always polar opposites. Whatever Phil says I always expect Lee to say otherwise. :P

Phil is sort of the "main" groundhog, so I'm more likely to go with what he says over the "regional" groundhogs.  With the way spring already seems to be coming early (60°+ lows in January), the early spring prediction is all too believable.

FWIW, The CFSv2 for a long time kept saying January was going to be below average for the Eastern third of the country. Think back on how that turned out. Of course that doesn't mean it won't be right this time around, but considering how useless a lot of model guidance has been this Winter I don't put much faith in any of them.

The reason for that is because it thought the cold snap after Jan 20th would be strong enough to cause the positive departures from the rest of the month be negated by the negative departures caused by the cold snap. CFSv2 over did the cold snap a little. It had the first half of Jan warm, the second cold, and for the most part it was right. The CFSv2 did have a warm November until Sandy came along and changed the pattern, gave us a cooler than normal November. The CFSv2 did a superior job with March 2012 with the record breaking warmth.

Fair enough, like I said it could end up being right about February. This winter so far has been a carbon copy of last year here anyway, horrible with just a couple of more near misses than last year so it wouldn't surprise me if February was warm.

It's not so great here, but it's better than last year. I'm having some moderate snow as I type this, 1-3" deal. If I get 1.1" out of this, I'll be at 10.0" for the season, more than double last year's entire total.

I had 10.0" here all of last winter, which I'd argue wasn't even a winter.  You can tell from my weather post how this one is faring.  Maybe I need to set up a snow machine to blow some of my snow to a few of you all who feel left out. :P

Yeah, we only had 4.7" of snow last winter, which totally sucked. Not the least snowiest winter though, that'll go to the winter of 97-98, where we only had 0.9" for the entire winter. The upper level patterns really effect us here. It can be the difference from having 2 feet of snow to 2" of rain and warmth. This year is doing better, not because of large storms, but we've been having a lot of clippers, nickel and dime events giving us a couple of inches here and there.

North Dakota defines its winters by our temperatures (also known by the locals as the shortest amount of time between you stepping outside and getting frostbite on your nose). We don't really get much snow unless it's a clipper or a Colorado Low.

This year we hit -20 or lower quite a few times, so our winter has been considered average.

You have to move the checkers from one side of the board to the other and then be the first to remove all of them from the board.  It's one of those games that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Geography and Meteorology are often lumped together a lot.  Virginia Tech's Geography Department created the new Meteorology program a year ago, so you can see how the two disciplines overlap often in university settings.

Yep, Western Kentucky University has the Geography BS Program with Land, Climate and Weather Track for those who want to deal with a less math intensive curriculum. That's my perfect major right there: http://meteorology.blog.wku.edu/who-should-purue-the-bs-geography-degree-meteorology-track/ (http://meteorology.blog.wku.edu/who-should-purue-the-bs-geography-degree-meteorology-track/)

They closed school here for today. A little surprised. Other than the threat of a little freezing rain, the roads are drivable, especially since it's raining now. We could a very active 2 weeks in terms of snow. Could have a 4-8" storm Thurs, another potential blizzard on Sunday and the GFS is hinting at even another storm around the 21st. Too bad we already have off that week. We'll be going to school in July with all these snow days and days lost from Hurricane Sandy.

In my Vector Graphics class our first project is to make a Jazz poster in Adobe Illustrator. Here are two of three drafts I've been working on. My Vector Graphics teacher saw a version fairly similar to Sample 1 and said she loved it. She asked me if I felt there should be anything else added to it and told her I wasn't sure. Boy, ever since I said that I've been sketching and drawing with the pen tool most of today trying to decide on a final design to submit for a grade. :P What do you all think?

That's a great design :biggrin:

Now for my picky side  :P on the purple eighth note at the top, there's a bit of a shape sticking out and the hands on the brown saxophonist at the bottom have a blue-ish outline around them

Thanks for bringing that to my attention because actually it's not an outline, it's just the way I drew the hands with the pen tool. See, I drew the body first, then the shades, saxophone, and then the hands and grouped it all together afterwards. The blueish looking outline is from the blueish/purple background that image along with the other silhouette jazz players are on. I'll probably have to redraw them over with the pen tool again. I'm also gonna fix the outlines of the musical notes because I'm aware some of them are squiggly. I'll have to use the direct selection tool for that.

I settled on going with Sample 2 as my final draft to submit, but with the revisions I mentioned.

I wish meteorology wasn't so math intense...i'm willing to go up to maybe Calc 2 at most but Calc 4 plus physics and chemistry is insane. Might as well go with pre-med since the track is similar but you need just calc 1 LOL
Well, math is the language of everything in the world and is a the only way to problem solve. If you can get through the four years of math, you'll be a lot better off. At least mets don't use those levels of math daily, now that we have computers, anyway. I'm guessing that its important to learn that level of mathematics so that you understand how everything works on a level other than just the conceptual method.
I don't hate math. I like math and am willing to work hard for it, but like most majors out there (not just meteorology but engineering, computer science, finance, etc), they are math intensive not necessarily because of the math itself but because it teaches you the logic behind in mastering the concepts, and using that logic is vital for many careers.

Also my best friend is a material sciences engineering major and told me the same thing. She's doing Calc 4 and told me Calc 2 was the worst. In Rutgers it supposedly has the highest fail rate of any math course. She failed it once along with her other friends failing maybe twice. Calc 3 was medium but interesting, Calc 4 was a lot easier and Calc 1 is either difficult or managable depending on how you approach the material. I'm retaking Calc 1 because I failed it last semester but I am taking the Economics/Business/bio Calc and not the regular calc that engineers and physical science majors take.

I like weather, I'm not exactly the most passionate weather enthusiast but after all the recent stress, I can safely say it is the only profession I can truly see myself in and the only career I'd be the most satisfied about. The severe weather aspect is by far the most fascinating part of meteorology to me and our school has a pretty decent met program. My question is in the NWS and other weather organizations where you might work, would you lose your job if you had tremendous difficulty with the math required for your field? I am willing to work hard to pursue my future its just that I am not finding any majors that deeply appeal to me besides met.
You might also consider private companies as well. I've come to the conclusion after volunteering at my local WFO, attending several meteorological conferences and talking to many in the industry that the NWS isn't for me. Nothing against those who work there but the schedule is tedious and the upper level management outside the local WFOs is a mess. I can't tell you how many people who work there have told me to avoid it. It's a big field so keep your options open.
Sorry that I'm replying to this a little late, but I LOVE answering this math question.  I struggled (not terribly, but enough) in math all throughout school.  In high school, when I began talking to advisers about college, told me that there is a LOT of math used in meteorology.  It was not something I wanted to hear.  I was average in math, so my freshman year of college I enrolled in basic College Algebra (ended up with a C, which discouraged me), then moved on to Trigonometry, and then moved on to Calculus 1. 

Calculus 1 was very frustrated for me.  My professor gave his lectures on POWERPOINT!  Unbelievable for a math class. Half way through the semester I was failing, so instead of failing the course, I dropped it.  I felt horrible!  How am I going to get through Calc 2, Calc 3, calculus based Physics and Differential Equations when I can barely do a freaking derivative?!  I retook Calculus 1 in the summer, and got an A.  It was all the teacher.

You just have to go in with an open mind.  I did very well in Calc 2.  Calc 3 I did poorly in, but turns out it is barely used in MET and was just a requirement for my BS sequence.  But, I can tell you that there is A LOT of math/calculus involved in upper level meteorology classes.  It is fun (in my opinion) to have this actually relate to what you are doing, and it all makes sense why you have to take all these math classes.

I really like Martin's response to your career field choice.  I know a couple people working in the NWS who LOVE their job, but say it is a very stressful one, especially with the 12-hour shifts, some over night, that you have to do.  I for one, would never want to work for an NWS office.  I've done job shadows twice, and it just seemed too boring to me.  Like Martin said, attending conferences is a great way to learn about the different types of fields you can go into with meteorology.  I have stuck with the broadcast field, but that's just me.  In fact, I just received a call from a television station interested in talking with me about an opening.  It's exciting stuff, and if you really like meteorology, you'll find a way to power through all your classes!

It really comes down to how math is taught to you.  Sometimes, you have to take a step back and reevaluate things when they aren't going well, and I'm glad you were able to succeed there.  When I hear stories from other students like you about their math struggles, it gives me a greater appreciation of the difficulty and how fortunate I was to get through it.  Surprisingly, I find Calculus 3 to be the most important math course for Meteorology after having graduate-level courses constantly referring back to Vector Calculus.  If you weren't doing broadcasting and chose the route that I took, you would see why. ;)

Lastly, while the hours can be crazy in the NWS, I'm doing a public service in a field I love.  I can take pride in knowing that when everyone is chasing some wild storm that I'm the one who is actually issuing the warnings and providing a focused approach on the forecast at the local level.  In the near future, I'm hoping to be promoted somewhere as a full-time general forecaster that will do exactly what I stated.

Here you go, from the NWS website:

Quote
Frequently Asked Questions: Washington’s Birthday

Q. Why did the National Weather Service (NWS) change its weather forecast references from Presidents Day to Washington’s Birthday in 2011?

A.  Weather forecast references were changed because the holiday is officially designated as “Washington’s Birthday” in Section 6103 (a) of Title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees.  Although other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is NWS policy to refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

Q. Wasn’t the holiday changed to Presidents Day when it was established by Congress to be observed on the third Monday in February?

A. No.  The effort to rename the holiday Presidents Day, intended to honor the birthdays of both Washington and Lincoln, failed in Congressional committee.  The bill, which was then signed into law on June 28, 1968, specified that the Federal holiday would retain the name Washington’s Birthday. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of January 1, 1971, established its observance on the third Monday in February.

Q. What changes did the NWS implement to make this change?

A. The NWS changed the software on all its Internet web pages and at all local Weather Forecast Offices so that forecasts which include Washington’s Birthday will show the officially designated name for the holiday this year and into the future.

Q. Is there a link which lists Federal Holidays?

A. Yes. The link is:

You could have it repaired, but if it's not under warranty, the cost of the repair depends on what the problem is.  Otherwise, your only real option is to buy a new unit.  It's very hard to find VCRs for sale without DVD players these days.

Before you posted that, I was just looking around my house earlier today to see if I could find an old VCR/DVD combo, and I found one, hooked it up to my recorder, tested a VHS tape, and it still works  :biggrin:  I'll just go ahead use the external VCR  from now on to digitize any VHS tapes I still have  :yes:  until my recorder should ever break down completely, but I doubt that'll happen in the near future  :P

Last week in my Rastering (Photoshop) class we had to make up our own original movie posters. I chose to go Sci-Fi with a doomsday plot. I called it "THE FINAL HOUR" This is how it came out. We had to present these in class and the one and only criticism I got was the same one I had a hard time trying to fix and that was Leonardo Dicaprio's head kinda looks like it's floating in the air. I tried to blend it in a bit better, but that was the best I could do.

You need to manually shut it off with the power button by holding it down for several seconds.  If that doesn't work, unplug everything from it and take out the battery so that there's nothing to power it.  Then, hold down the power button for a few seconds to clear out anything internally to ensure it's completely without power.  Once you're done, you may put everything back and power it on.  I've done this before with mine, and it can happen when Windows gets stuck shutting down.

Bryan and everyone else, please use the Pot Belly Stove or the Front Porch in the future for random thoughts.  There needs to be a focused topic that can carry the conversation through a bunch of posts to warrant being by itself.  Furthermore, we can easily turn a subject into an individual topic if it warrants.  I have merged your Samsung topic here, but the restaurant topic is one that isn't needed as several already exist from a simple search of the forum.

My first HD TV was a LCD from Samsung that experienced a strange issue internally after a couple years, but I found a second Samsung TV that is LED and works great to where I can adjust the colors right where they should be!  My entire family got Samsung TVs when we joined the HD world, and they love them.  You can't base your judgments just on one product out of a whole assembly line.  Sony and Samsung are both perfectly good for HD.

That wasn't the case though. I got frustrated at some times because they keep installing updates before shutting down and these updates can take quite a while to fully finish.

According to Portland's NWS website, it looks like they now issue small craft advisories separately (for hazardous seas, rough bar, winds, etc.) instead of together as one advisory  :hmm:

That advisory was usually only for waves or winds, but they wanted to add more marine hazards to that product and separate it out for the public.

I'm so glad it never snows here along the southern Washington coastline  :happy:  It snowed a lot during the past winters back when I used to live in Spokane. There was so much snow that I couldn't even dig out my own car so that I could go run errands. Now those days are over for me since I don't live in Spokane anymore.

Of course, there was an occasional nasty windstorm here in Long Beach during the past few months, but at least I don't have to shovel or dig out my car from 12+ inches of heavy wet snow   B)  :P

You'd be extremely lucky if you lived up here. Not only does Spokane a lot of winter snow, but they also get almost every type of weather event, such as an occasionally summertime thunderstorm (some may even be strong or severe) and even blowing dust. In short, I guarantee that you'd be smiling year-round if you ever moved up here  :yes:  :happy:

Are you using the app or the mobile web version? On the app, if you sign out and sign back in again, a dialog should show up asking what account you want to use and the option to add a new account.

Well this storm was a bust (at least for part 1). One of the main reasons why it was a bust was because a lot of people put stock in the NAM, which showed about 6-8" here last night, only to wake up to nothing but a coating. Even the Euro had about 2-3" for us last night, every model busted. The main reason why we didn't wake up to that much snow was because the surface temps were too warm and precip rates were too low for anything to accumulate. It's been on/off snow here all day, but nothing accumulating. The NAM busted big time here. We are now entering part 2 of the storm, and once again, the NAM is showing ridiculously overdone QPF amounts vs. other models. It has about 1.5" of QPF from an inverted trough. The NAM snow maps show 12-14" here. All other models are showing anywhere from 3-8" here, if we are lucky enough to get anything accumulating. The model mayhem is really annoying. Why can't it just be spring already? Good news the GFS shows some 60's and 70's around the first day of spring, so that's something to look forward to.

Looking forward to it. Can't stand the early sunsets :thumbdown:, which set as early as 4:25pm during winter. I don't care about it being light or dark in the morning. Having an extra hour in the evening is great, because it give you more time to enjoy the day, be outside and enjoy the sunshine.

I wish we could either stay on DST or off DST for the entire year without having these transitions.  Studies have already shown that tomorrow's change of losing an hour leads to an increased risk of heart attacks and many other bad things:

Since I know no one would want UTC as the official time zone of the United States as midnight and noon in UTC would not match the rhythm of our days and nights, do you think we should be on DST all the time or never at all?

That's actually a pretty difficult question to answer.  I guess it depends on whether you like light earlier in the morning, or light later at night.  If, hypothetically, we started never changing the clocks, then it would take some time getting used to (for me, anyway), as I am always used to it being darker earlier in wintertime and darker later in the spring/summer/fall.  (The mornings don't really matter to me, but I may be changing my mind when I get a job that has me work early in the morning. :P)

Sometimes whenever I use Windows Movie Maker (the original, not Live) after I right click for options and select an option (such as remove) the option button I select becomes stuck and see-through, overlaying every window I use (see snapshot below.)

That's like here. Before DST, the sun would rise around 6:16am, before I leave for school (6:30am), now the sun doesn't rise until 7:15am and when I go to the bus stop it's dark as anything. But, I can care less about dark mornings, as long as the evenings are bright.

Another way to solve that if it ever happens is to open your task manager and end the explorer.exe process under Processes and then in the Applications portion of the task manager, go to "New Task..." and type in "explorer" or "explorer.exe", no reboot required

I think having a Spring Break in March is way too early, more so because of the weather unless you live in FL/Gulf Coast or the Southwest. I'm glad mine isn't until the first week in April. It's guaranteed most of the time to be warm and balmy.

Random comment: Today was very warm and balmy btw. low 70s today, I actually felt a little hot in the thin grey cardigan sweater I wore when I came home from an afternoon class today.

I think the purpose of having semester break in the 2nd/3rd week of March is because its halfway through the semester for most colleges. I liked having mine the week following easter in high school though despite easter being anywhere from mid March to late April.

Well, now I'm angry at spring. :club:

Last night, Grand Forks reported a low temperature of -14. Not only was this a record low for the date, but it was a full 13 degrees off from the forecast low of -1. Needless to say, someone overlooked something. I'm not going to go off on it anymore, because even I don't know what happened, but seriously. -10s in the second half of March?

Edit: Radiational cooling sucks.

Post by: phw115wvwx on March 16, 2013, 04:26:48 PM
It seems like we're making up for the really warm start to last spring by a significant colder start to this spring.  Of course, the Southwest is the exception as it's always warming up this time of year.  The Northern Hemisphere sea ice coverage is actually almost back to normal after reaching historical lows last fall.  Mother Nature always seems to even things out in the end.

Obviously I will agree. Although it supposed to be a "roller-coaster" March as the meteorologists predicted it would be here, but they lied. We've been staying in the 90 for almost two weeks now.

NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING THOUGH. It's actually nice enough to eat lunch outside.

Stay away from Norton. All it does is hogs up your computer's memory, and it's very difficult to remove from your computer. Microsoft security essentials isn't bad. There are also good free antivirus programs out there that are TONS better than Norton. Google around and see what's best for you

If I remember correctly, I was going to install Microsoft Security Essentials on my sister's Win8 computer, but there was some message on Microsoft's website saying it was unnecessary. I'm not exactly sure what it said anymore, but it was something like that.

McAfee, while in some cases is more expensive than Norton, is definitely better. Even Avast, which is free, is worth trying.

I would stay away from McAfee and Norton products all together. Microsoft Security Essentials is 100% unnecessary on Windows 8, because all the features are integrated in the Windows Defender program on Windows 8. I've personally had no issues with it, but it's to each his own. I use NOD32 and I have no issues with it, although it's not free.

Victor, I've used Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows 7 computer, and it has done very well.  Free programs are generally good enough for home users unless you encounter serious problems.  Pavel is correct that Microsoft Security Essential won't work on Windows 8, because Microsoft already has something else built in to your system.  It's called Windows Defender, which is an improved version of Microsoft Security Essentials just for Windows 8.  So, you already got something on your system that should do the job. :yes:

Hey everyone! I haven't really posted much and thought I would check in. Life is busy for me now that I'm working and still in school but getting to do what I love makes it all worth while. Glad to see everyone is doing pretty well :)

Does anyone have any title bars or individual graphics that match current or past on air graphics? If so I would love to chat with you and see if I could use them in a personal project. I've seen a lot of the work in the fan forum and there is a lot of great content.

I'm working at one of my local tv stations as a production assistant and weather producer. I make a lot of graphics using the MAX system which is the same program TWC now uses primarily. There is actually a special mode WSI activates that unlocks TWC exclusive features in the software...sadly that's not activated for us haha! Still I'd like to try and re-create some of the on air graphics using my system but sadly I don't have anything made. I don't have the time or talent to make them either :P I'd be happy to make some wx videos for anyone able to send me some. Shoot me a PM or facebook message if you want to help :)

Howdy Martin! B)

I wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone on here too. I have not been on the forums since late July as I have lost all interest in TWC, but all this talk about the new local forecast just prompted me to stop by and say something. Hopefully, I can stop by more often as time permits. I hope everyone is doing well. I have been very busy myself, with multiple exams and papers coming up. I'm also working full-time at my school's newspaper company, so that's definitely keeping me busy too, but I don't mind earning a little bit of cash.

And is anyone else enjoying this late summer spell? Our forecast is supposed to hit 85 today, and tomorrow 84. I'm not complaining though because I'm enjoying this warm weather while it lasts. We have only 3-4 months of warm weather, so I would certainly be out and about then dealing with a blizzard.

This is the first project of the semester we had to work on.

Our assignment was to make at minimum a 15 second animation using only keyframe animations (Scale, Rotation, Position, etc.)

Everything is not perfect, but I did the best I could within the time I had to work on this which was about 3 weeks.

I spent a week before that redrawing Mario in Adobe Illustrator using the Pen/Shape tools. The Mario at 19-21 seconds in is just a still image (Time didn't allow me to redraw that Mario or the still Luigi in Illustrator.)

I never got the chance to play the original version on the NES, but I played the heck (and still own a working cartridge copy) of the GBA version. I've had it since it came out in 2001. The cape was my favorite power-up. I played this game just last month for old times sake.

I played the first 3 games on the NES, then, of course, on future systems.  I later played the original Mario Bros. (where they're in the sewers bopping on whatever comes out of the pipes) on various systems, such as the Apple II and the Atari 2600.

I'm not sure anyone has the answer to this, but I've been wondering why is it that Comcast (maybe other cable companies also) is/are so slow to display an EAS bulletin? One was shown this evening for a teenage girl abducted here in GA, it took about 6-7 minutes for it to show up on Comcast after the bulletin played on the digital analog TV that has no cable.

EDIT: The audio message must of been recorded because it was exactly word from word from earlier once it played on the TVs w/ cable on it.

Don't have much complaints about 2013, mainly because it's gone by remarkably fast. The holidays are quickly approaching around the corner. I should know, I was at Walmart last Saturday and the Christmas tree displays are already up right next to Halloween decorations for Pete's sakes. :rolleyes: 
I would imagine they're counting on consumers in a mindset like this now even well before Black Friday/Christmas.

Speaking of holidays, I didn't realize Thanksgiving was so late this year. It's not until the 28th, I've been assuming for months it was on the 21st. :huh:

Those who have watched "The Simpsons" may be familiar with Bart's teacher, Edna Krabappel. The actress who voiced Mrs. Krabappel, Marcia Wallace, passed away yesterday at the age of 70.  :(

Very sad news, besides her obvious Mrs. Krabappel character, I've seen her in various tv shows and movies. She's a funny lady. May she R.I.P.

I had heard a major Simpsons character was going to be killed off the show a couple of months. I wonder if it's going to end up being her character. If it is, hopefully they'll do a really nice tribute to her. :yes:

So...Sandy was a year ago from today. I am glad the damage was not any worse than it was elsewhere especially after a small part of my home lost its roof and my basement was completely flooded. Lots of homes just a mile or two down from me were damaged and I remember my parents telling me a yacht ended up lying in the middle of the street (from a nearby dock) when they were trying to go home to inspect the damage. How has Sandy affected you (directly or indirectly) ?

I live in Monroe, MI and was also impacted by Sandy, since it had such a massive wind field. I remember standing at the Lake Erie shoreline during the evening (probably October 28 or 29) while getting blasted with 30-50 mph winds. Leaving the shore, I saw blue power flashes/transformers blowing, likely due to the high winds.

Ah, Day Light Savings.  The most depressing time of the year is upon me. From now until February, the sun sets in the 16:00 hour. Absolutely depressing. Nothing like coming home, get that feeling that it's already late in the day, and bam, the sun is down and it's pitch dark before 5pm. Yeah we get an extra hour of sleep, but I don't care what time in the morning the sun rises. As long as it's bright in the evening I'll be happy. I personally wish it was EDT all year long.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: Metarvo on November 02, 2013, 09:26:59 AM
I like my light in the morning and my darkness in the evening, so CST year-round in Texas would be perfect for me.  It's so hot here in the summer and it takes forever for it to cool down at night, so the summer daylight including the extra hour is next to useless for me.  It's all about beating the heat for me in the summer, so moving the extra hour of light back to the morning like it used to be would mean I could sleep through it and yet still get up early.  I heard once that Arizona doesn't observe it at all, because of the heat. 

In the winter, the extra hour of night means more time for Christmas lights, which most people turn off in the early morning hours.  It also means that the sun rises closer to 7:30 rather than 8:30.  I'm a morning person and prefer light mornings.

With that being said, I realize I live in a hot southern state.  Craig, I'm guessing you live in New York, which is a northern state on the eastern edge of Eastern Time.  In your case, maybe EDT is more practical.  My sunset times never go earlier than 5:20 even without Daylight Savings.  At least states can choose whether or not to observe it.
Title: Re: The Pot Belly Stove
Post by: TWCCraig on November 02, 2013, 09:53:29 AM
I understand Metarvo. We are at a disadvantage being at the far east part of the eastern time zone. Places like Michigan/Ohio have their sun set in the 5 o'clock hour in the evening during the winter which would be something I'd like. The sun rises early here being near the far east part of the time zone. The sun rises around 7:00/7:10 in the winter, which is fine. Also in the winter, the more north you go the shorter the days are.

I totally respect your opinion. Most people I know from up here in New York don't like the early darkness. A lot of times when people are coming home from work from NYC, it's already dark by the time they leave office. I wish I lived down south where the days are longer down there in the winter and at least in some parts where things are green all year long. And I'd like to even go ahead 2 hours in the summer. The sun rises 5:20am in the summer! The sky is lit by 3:30am! That's not necessary, if we could go ahead by two hours in the summer sun rises would be around 6:00am and sun sets would be around 9:30pm which is great. Too bad that'll probably never happen  :hmm:

Well, it's all opinions here. I understand and respect your opinion as you are more of a morning person. I'm more of an evening person.

Sorry that I have been really quiet and not around lately, but it has been a really rough week for me.  I just lost another person in my family, and it took a while to console everyone.  I can't wait for 2013 to end. :(  I also was at a college football game between Penn State and Illinois on Saturday to take my mind off things and enjoy some time with my family after all the stress.  Penn State won in overtime, so I was pleased after it was over.

Personally, I wish the whole world would use UTC as it would simplify life so much.  There is no such thing as daylight saving time with this unique time, but I know that everyone around the globe would really struggle seeing the sun up or down at weird times due to this idea.  So, I would rather just pick one (standard time or daylight saving time) to use throughout the whole year here in the United States.

My beloved Kindle 2 died last night after nearly four years of excessively heavy use.  After reading about this on Facebook, one of my friends bought me the best Kindle reader that Amazon sells, and it will arrive on Friday.

Not only am I thankful, obviously, but I'm also incredibly humbled that someone I haven't even seen in person in over a decade would do this for me.  This gives me the opportunity to think about things and put my priorities in order.  And, believe me, they've gotten horribly screwed-up lately.  I needed this... in more ways than one.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  As you think about your Black Friday shopping tomorrow, please take a minute to think about how you're going to treat your salespeople and cashiers.  We don't get holidays off.  We don't even get to shop during the best sales of the year.  We give up our family time, our free time, and even our sleep so that you can buy all the presents you want.  We get yelled at countless times a day for things that are totally beyond our control.  It really takes just one act of kindness, one sympathetic and understanding customer, to make our day.  Will you be that customer? :yes:

That said, my schedule is frightening me.  Today I work 5 PM to midnight, tomorrow from 5 AM to noon, next Saturday from 2 PM to midnight, and the following Sunday from 5 AM to whenever the job gets done. :unsure:

Please do not get me started.  If the trend of Black Friday sales starting earlier and earlier every year continues, then it won't be too long before stores are open all day on Thanksgiving.  I thought the purpose of Thanksgiving was to set a day aside to give thanks for what we have?!  Well, with all this American consumerism, that holiday is going out the window.  The whole Black Friday concept is starting to sicken me.  Crowds, fights, whatnot...all for a crappy deal anyway.  I am sure it is even worse for those who have to work in these environments, and my condolences go to you.  It really upsets me that our society has come to this. :(

This Christmas is what I hope will end what has been a painful year for me as I have lost several family relatives and friends both online and in real life.  I fear that I have lost several friends on this forum as well, and I am really sorry if I have offended or bothered you this year.  For those of you who have stayed in touch and committed your friendship to me even when I have struggled to be a good person and friend this year, all I can say is thank you as it is the best gift you can give me.  If you have not been in touch with me or have had concerns about me to where you did not feel like replying, I hope to hear from you someday and find out what I can do better.  Thanks!

Now is officially the time to wipe the slate clean and begin our outlooks on life over on a fresh start! If 2013 wasn't as kind to you as you would have liked, here's to hoping 2014 will be an awesome year for all of you! Cheers! :D :twothumbs: :drunk:

This recent Arctic spell has me already questioning everything again in my life despite 2014 being here.  My vehicle won't start, and I'll have to get it jumped so that I can take it to a repair shop.  Everything is under warranty as my vehicle is not even two years old, but why would a battery or an alternator already be struggling in such a short time?

It's disturbing how much bad luck my family, friends, colleagues, and myself have endured since January 2013.  January seems to be a horrible month for me these past several years.  Maybe I need to reach February 2014 for things to turn around in my life. :hmm:

Regarding the battery, I feel your pain.  For some reason, the one in my car goes out in only a years time or less.  I would have thought something was wrong, but I took it in to the shop only to have them say everything was fine.

For me, January and February are just dull months.  It's cold, classes start back up again, and there always seems to be an emptiness after the holiday season.  Nothing to look forward to for awhile.  I am hoping things will get better for everyone struggling with the winter blues come March. :)

Andy, if you're still having trouble with your car battery, I would check your alternator as a car battery relies on the alternator to stay adequately charged.  I just got back from a dealer's repair shop, which is the same place I bought my vehicle in 2012.  The battery failed their test, which is quite sad as it was only 21 months old.  Batteries are supposed to last at least four years.  Fortunately, I have a 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty that came with buying the vehicle.  Since that battery was the original one sold to me, they replaced it with a new battery and checked everything all for free.  It's a relief that this ordeal is over.

January gives me the post-holiday blues as well, but I've had a lot of bad luck and loneliness in this month over the past several years.  February helps me a lot as it contains my birthday, which helps alleviate those issues.

Hi, and congratulations!  I'm glad for you.  :)

2014's not starting off too badly for me, but it's too early to tell.  If the previous year turns out to be a rare good one (as 2013 mostly was for me), then I tend to view the new year with suspicion.  Usually, I'm glad to get away from the old year though.

Is anyone interested that the Winter Olympics are starting on February 6 in Sochi, Russia?  When growing up, my family and I loved to watch the events and the ceremonies.  I don't know how much time I will have this time due to work, but I still may try to watch a little.  What do you all think about them?

I personally prefer watching the summer Olympics over the winter ones but still find them both enjoyable.  The only bad thing is that the winter Olympics are, well, in the middle of winter during classes and stuff, so assuming I don't have boat loads of homework I should be able to tune in.  Let's just hope these Olympics are carried out safely without any suicide bombings like what were occurring a few weeks ago.

It's probably because whichever listings provider your cable company uses hasn't received any information about the channel's programming for that time from the channel itself.

This typically happens here when my Fox Sports Network (Fox Sports South) diverts programming to another network in the lead-up to a live pro sports event. For example, typically an hour before Nashville Predators games, the guide will list it as "FSN Programming" and instead of the program being from Fox Sports South, it's coming from Fox Sports Tennessee. Same thing with the Pacers games FSIndiana gives FSSouth for broadcast in Kentucky.

Indeed.  This winter for my area has had an unusually large amount of snow/ice storms.  Sunday's marked our sixth notable winter weather event since a mini ice storm in mid-November, a snow storm in early December, a major ice storm right before Christmas, a couple of snow storms in early February.  (All this, and we're still running below in precipitation totals.  In addition, temperatures have been cold!  Last month for Oklahoma City, the average temperature was 5.4 degrees below normal!  In fact, February was our fifth consecutive month with the average temperature finishing below normal and I think our sixth consecutive month with the total precipitation finishing below normal.

I certainly wouldn't mind transitioning from this "cold and dry" period to a more "warm and wet" period.

While cleaning out my closet this evening, I found this signed photograph of Jim Cantore:

(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc475/TWCJim/cantorephotosigned_zps3802f583.jpg)

Back in 2005, I wrote a letter to Cantore saying that I was a fan of The Weather Channel and enjoyed watching him cover hurricanes, storms, and other extreme weather on TV. A few weeks after I sent my letter, I received an envelope which contained this photo that Cantore signed and said "Thanks for watching!"

Note the name James at the top left corner of the photo. That's my birth name and what I went by back in '05. Nowadays I prefer to go by Jim.  :P

I do enjoy having the sun out later, and the transition to daylight savings time is always easier for me than the transition from, despite (or, perhaps, because of) losing an hour of sleep.  That said, I'm also tired of the changes, and "standard" time only lasts about four months now.  Personally, I'd like to see the U.S. do what some other countries have started doing and just stay on daylight savings time year-round.

Every year after DST starts it feels weird because it's like we went from March to June. It doesn't get dark until WAY late like after 8pm. It doesn't feel right to me. :no: I guess it's because you become so accustomed to it getting dark around 4-5pm every evening for about 4-5 months or so. :dunno:

I agree. I don't like how we have so much light even though the temperatures are still chilly. With the temperatures, and not being spring until the 21st, I thought it was better to keep DST on a milder April.

I just found out our CBS affiliate was re branded with these graphics. All I can say is I definitely approve of this change. First HD rebranding they've had in nearly 6 years!

They look like this
New CBS O&O Opens 2013 (HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdKhQXeYl4A#ws)

I know some CBS O&O stations already had these graphics for about as long as 6 months now. Are they making all CBS stations around the country carry these graphics? I'm really shocked to see we have them here considering our CBS affiliate is a Meredith Corp owned station.

EDIT: Since this change, they dropped "Atlanta" and now just call it CBS46.

Post by: Trevor on March 15, 2014, 11:34:10 AM
If a station really wants to, they can get a hold of the O&O graphics if they aren't an O&O. CBS is not forcing it on all stations, CBS 46 just decided the graphics looked nice (I agree!). I can think of a few examples of this...one being WSMV-TV (NBC) in Nashville. They've used the NBC O&O graphics going on 5 years, but they are owned by Meredith as well.

If you didn't know already, there's another forum called TVNewsTalk pertaining to all things media related that quite a few people from this forum, including myself, are members of.

Ah, I see. I'm glad to see they went in that direction, I'm impressed! Also thanks for that link. I think I might join. If it wasn't for an article I read on mediabistro about this relaunch I would have never known. I don't watch that station because they were so terrible (on air talent mainly), but with the drastic changes they've been making maybe they will be worth a watch again. Maybe, just maybe for the first time ever they won't be dead last in the ratings.  :lol:

Ugh, I need to take the logs off the Pot Belly Stove and crank up the A/C.  Today's high at Oklahoma City was 94 degrees, three degrees shy of the record high of 97 set back in 1938.  Is it October 1st, or August 1st?  Hopefully this approaching cold front will be a promising sign of cooler temperatures to come ... for awhile.

Yeah, it was warm here too, but not that warm. It got up to 85 today, it should be about the same tomorrow then the cold front arrives here w/ thunderstorms (man it's been a LONG time since we've had those) on Friday, and after that the big cool down comes: 60s for highs and 40s for lows on Saturday! :D

The first cold front of fall has arrived here, too.  It's scheduled to warm back into the mid-to-upper 80's next week, though.  Fall's taking it's time.  It's a little disconcerting to see heaters and Halloween candy in the stores when it's still warm out.

Not a good day today. My sinuses is driving me freakin' crazy! I have an off/on headache where the worst of the throbbing pressure is in the center part of my forehead down to my nose and my nose won't stop running.

Oh, no, I'm sorry you're not feeling well.  :hmm:  Sometimes I get headaches when I have a cold, only they tend to go from the top to the back or sides of my head.  In any case, that doesn't sound like fun at all.  I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I've been dealing with a bear problem in my area recently, and last night was no different.

Around 11PM or so last night, I heard a noise and looked outside my window and there was a bear who tipped over my garbage can and tried to take the trash that was in it. I yelled "Hey!" at the bear and then it ran off with whatever it could take. Afterwards I walked outside, cleaned up the mess and picked up the can that was tipped over. No more than a hour or so later, the bear came back, tipped the can over again and tried to steal more trash. I yelled again at the bear and it ran away with more garbage.

Then this morning, I walked around and found my trash in some nearby woods, cleaned it up and then put it back in my trash can. Afterwards I put ammonia inside and outside my trash can to keep the bears away. It worked before, and I'm certain that it will work again. Man, what a rough night it was for me!  :wacko:

Hello, everyone.  I know that I haven't been around much, but I've recently moved to a new apartment in the same town to get better accommodations and try to make some changes to better my life.  Unfortunately, the past months have been very difficult for me as I'm now fighting extreme depression. :(  It's been difficult seeing all my friends seemingly disappear at times whether it's in real life or here on this forum and that even other people I trust can't understand what I've been battling. :cry:

So, while I realize none of you can really help me out much, I'm asking for your thoughts and prayers during the next weeks as the holidays approach.  Just finding happiness and hope in my life will be the best Christmas gift I could want this year.  I apologize if my message sounds very deep and scary, but it's the sad truth I face now as I try to find help for myself.  Please wish me luck, and you're welcome to send me any PMs if you wish to know more.

Looks like I'll have to change my TV provider tag to DirecTV in my profile going into 2015 very soon... :whistling: One month has passed since saying goodbye to Crapcast.  :harhar:

Also I don't really think anyone here would know the answer, but I'll ask anyway just in case. Why is it that cable companies like Comcast seem to charge so much more for so little (in channels that is) compared to satellite companies like DirecTV? I compared package offers from both of those companies and Comcast's offers are very insulting when compared to DirecTV.

I remember hearing that rumor several months back. Is that still a possibility? :dunno: Going on the U-Verse site they do have packages affiliated with DTV so I guess a partnership/merger is already happening.

For those who have DirecTV, if you don't mind entertaining an ignorant question, What is the difference between say, Cartoon Network (East) and Cartoon Network (West) for example. Is it related to time zones where the east is for Eastern time and the West is for Western time?

Yes. :yes:  This is the case with U-Verse too.  In most cases, you'll notice that the West channel plays exactly the same shows, commercials, etc. as the East channel but is four hours behind.  So essentially, it's on a four-hour delay for West Coast viewers.  Makes it nice when you miss a show on the East channel but can catch it again on the West channel. :P

Christmas light display synced to music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7T8Uch8e9U#ws)


I couldn't figure out what the song name was or who sings it. Even a simple Google search was less than helpful. Does anyone here know what this song is?  :dunno:

EDIT: I found another Christmas light/music sync video with the same song on YouTube. The song is called "Where Is Santa Claus" and the artist is Judy Pancoast. Still a catchy Christmas song though.  :yes:

Jim, see the link I have provided below to confirm your song title and artist.  Your song is track #16 in the album.  I have never heard of this artist or that particular song, because the album was released in 2012 when I was not looking for Christmas music at that time.

Thanks Patrick!  :)  When I heard this song, I thought it sounded like Karen Carpenter at first, but after a quick YouTube search of similar Xmas light music sync displays, I found out that the song was by Judy Pancoast. While I was looking at that link, under the 'Recommended if You Like' tab, the recommended artists were, coincidentally, Karen Carpenter and of course, The Carpenters.  :lol:

Besides the Pancoast song, the FM radio station to which the light display was synced to also played songs by artists like TSO, Burl Ives, to name a few. I read about this through social media and decided to go check it out for myself. It was a pretty interesting light display to see, I thought.  :yes:

You know, I wouldn't mind experiencing something like that once.  Just once.  Then I would probably say "never again."  It would be one thing being stranded at home under two or three feet of snow but a whole other being without power for several days (or even weeks).

I finally managed to purchase a new vehicle this weekend, a used 2013 Nissan Altima. Last week, I took my old car, a 2002 Ford Taurus, to a local repair shop because of shaking, when the mechanics there said the car could not be fixed and that I needed to get a new one. After spending several stressful hours at a dealership, I eventually found and purchased the Altima. I'm glad I finally had the guts to get a new vehicle  :yes:  even though I still need to pay about $220 a month for it for the next six years.

I'm glad to hear Windows 10 will be free to download for Windows 7/8 users when it's released later this year. Supposedly, it will be free for at least the first year to download then you have to buy it. I'm still using Windows 7 currently. I've only had a brief experience with using Windows 8 and it's OK. Don't hate it or love it.

Although I don't think the whole tablet interface was as bad as people made it out to be.

That makes me happy, although I would prefer it be free permanently rather than just for the first year.  I don't understand why Windows can't be like Apple and just make all software upgrades free.

I have Windows 8 right now and don't like it.  Too buggy and in some cases, too confusing.  And I'll admit, I bought a touch-screen computer because I know Windows 8 was designed for the tablet/touchscreen interface and now realize that I rarely, if ever, use the touch-screen at all.  I know I recall plenty of people saying when Windows 8 first came out that it would be a nightmare using it without a touch-screen, but I have found that statement to be completely false.

From what I read, once you download it for free, it's yours permanently. You don't have to buy it. (CD or subscription) As long as you download it for free within that 1 year timeline. Apparently, most PC users today are still using Windows 7 and didn't bother upgrading to 8.  It's a major incentive to entice Windows 7 users to jump right ahead to 10.

I believe you can download a Windows 10 preview right now, but they recommend you download it on a test PC and not your personal PC because of risks of crashes/losing your data since it's only a test version.

EDIT: You can also automatically have your Windows 7/8 PC upgrade to 10 via Windows Update once it's released.

EDIT #2: The articles I read were from late January which I didn't pay attention to at the time, but the second one is from yesterday and it says all Windows 7/8 users except Windows 7/8 Enterprise will get the free upgrade offer.

Despite what I posted back in August 2012, I decided to return to this forums after regaining interest in smooth jazz music. I'll be honest, everything had changed for me in terms of Weather Channel. I did wrote a rant about how much the channel had changed but I deleted it. So if you noticed, I didn't listened to smooth jazz as much I used to between the last couple years. But eventually I return my habit of listening to smooth jazz (and I pretty much give up the whole LF music thing since 2012 anyway)/local forecast music before 2012. During my hiatus, I joined NoHomers.net, a forum dedicated to the Simpsons which is now my number 2 favorite show behind SpongeBob and I'm currently on season 10 (the second season with Mike Scully as showrunner). I also joined on several websites but my main sources are that website and DeviantArt (I now write my journals/note ironically despite not being an art person). With me returning to this forums, I dedice to not worry and complain about the channel and the local forecast because let's face it I lost interest 3 years ago and therefore I watch older videos before 2012 to feel nostalgic. I'll only watch TWC once in a while now.

Anyone ever watched the original 'Star Trek' TV series? Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock on the show, passed away today at the age of 83.  :(

I traced the IP that was sent in an email to me back to the St. Louis metropolitan area, so might I suggest placing an IP ban then? It doesn't seem like a bot either trying to access the accounts, because it's a Charter IP address that I got. Unless there's a botnet that hacked into systems, I can't imagine a bot being responsible for these attacks. :no: Has anybody emailed Martin on the matter yet?

Also, Ana asked me about this, so I had to stop by as well.  :)

Thanks for the heads-up everyone! :)  I have contacted Martin on the matter, so hopefully he will be able to resolve the issue.  I received the same e-mail again earlier today, so I'm hoping this won't be too much of an inconvenience.  It probably wouldn't be such a bad idea to change your password just in case.  Perhaps that will at least stop you from getting the string of e-mails.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Oh, and BTW, thanks for stopping by Ana and Zach! :wave:

I just noticed the webpage for our NWS office has been redesigned. I think this is that redesign noaa.gov was talking about last year. Is the redesign in place for all offices?

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Atlanta&state=GA&site=FFC&textField1=33.7629&textField2=-84.4226&e=1#.VRrcV_nF98E (http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Atlanta&state=GA&site=FFC&textField1=33.7629&textField2=-84.4226&e=1#.VRrcV_nF98E)

EDIT: They should bold the title heading for titles like Current Conditions, City Name, Detailed Forecast, etc. I think it would look better.

Yes, this redesign is in place for all cities across the nation.  Their main goal with this redesign seemed to be to make the point forecast pages mobile-friendly.  Look at a forecast on a mobile device; I think it looks a lot better.  In fact, a couple of months ago they even launched a widget or something for mobile devices.  It's about time the NWS moved into the 21st century.

Of course, their site still mixes multiple designs, which bothers me.  The point forecast pages may look fresh, but go to any local WFO page (except for a few in the Northeast), and you'll see still the old, old design.

BTW, I remember the NWS wanting feedback on redesigning their weather icons maybe a year or so ago.  I'm guessing this was either rejected or simply fell through?  It's too bad, because I'll never forget the time I saw a freezing rain icon that was paired with a high temperature in the 60s.  Obviously, the text forecast explained that, saying that the chance for freezing rain was in the morning, but it was still a weird combination, especially for people who only glance at the forecast.

Fall is here. The days of warm weather here in the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont are gone. We've seen high temperatures in the low 70s with mostly cloudy weather the last few days. I know it's getting cold when I drive around with my windows down and I feel the chill in the air in the middle of the afternoon.

Lucky. Here around Los Angeles it's been pretty hot... my dashboard read 102 degrees in the San Fernando Valley driving through Simi Valley (for those who are acquainted with SoCal). I miss having four seasons... one of my biggest regrets of moving away from Michigan.

To pick up back on the conversation about The Splat from the FP, it is going to be a programming block on Nickelodeon. It's supposed to start sometime this month. I kinda find this news to be a bit disappointing. Also, don't they technically already air 90's shows from Nickelodeon on Teennick? I think it would have been better to relaunch their sister channel, Nicktoons as The Splat, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, 90s shows air on TeenNick (formerly The N, correct?) from like midnight to 6 am or something like that.  I feel like Nick has done a lot of re-branding over the years with their many channels.  I'm guessing since not that many people get TeenNick, they wanted to make the 90s shows available on a channel more people carry.

When exactly does The Splat air?  I can't seem to find it on the TV Guide, and don't know if it's a true dedicated segment like "Nick@Nite" or what?  Also, they really need to think about re-branding Nicktoons or replacing it, because I don't think they even show solely cartoons on that channel anymore.  Isn't there like NFL stuff or whatever on that now?  Guess they could always get rid of or replace the Nick Jr. channel. :P

It airs from 10pm - 6am eastern  (7pm - 3am pacific) and so far it's only been Hey Arnold and Rugrats on TeenNick during those times.

I'm still having a hard time letting this sink in. Martin certainly was an amazing person... and he has certainly accomplished a lot within the short time he was on this Earth. Unfortunately because of my behavior at the time I lost contact with him. I have been meaning to make amends with him over the past several weeks, but I never got around to actually talking to him. I want everyone to know...especially Martin, that I am deeply sorry for how I acted. I wish you Godspeed, and rest in peace.

"Shocked and saddened" is an understatement, and frankly, I can't think of any words to truly express how I felt the moment I heard the news. Though the shock is starting to wear off, the loss of Martin is an enormous one, to this community and the weather community as a whole, and he will be greatly missed.

Even in a time of great loss, this community will most certainly triumph over its sting. Though it's been a few years since I was last active on here, if there's any way I can help keep TWCT going, I would love to know. There's a wealth of history on the site and these forums, and I'm sure Martin would love to see it preserved.

Which one? The promo before the show aired or the 2009 ads? It's funny that you caught that. Wish I could've saw that. I've been watching some funny WUWA moments and songs from back in the day recently. Brings back a lot of memories from summer 2009 which was my most favorite summer.

Not sure if anyone caught this... but at 12:17PT/3:17ET on December 4th, there was an interesting commercial that aired before the LF... it was the original WUWA commercial from back in the day, then at the end it said "Wake up with Al is brought to you by (some) law office"... anyone else catch that or was it just me? Wish I recorded that. Really bizarre.
Wasn't that a local cable commercial? That sounded like one of those local cable company-produced commercials promoting not only with the featured local business or sponsor, but also TWC. Some national cable networks like TWC would sometimes promote some of their participating cable affiliates to do their own local business tie-in promos with various cable companies. The cable company would edit the local promo by combining it with the national network promo to promote with their featured businesses. Your local cable company must have aired the local commercial during the national commercial break before automatically switching back to the national feed even if it wasn't tuned to TWC.

For example, one cable system back in 2008 with an IntelliStar v2 still continued to air an old TWC promo (likely produced back in the "Live by It" era). And the funny thing is, is that the cable company still aired the old promo as late as 2008! :rofl:

Here's the video I was talking about.

And here is the "raw" version of that same promo (without the local cable company produced sponsor):

There was also another one that was produced circa 1998-99 that also had a "Sponsored locally by..." insert.

Another one from around 2004-early 2005 that features Jim Cantore (still with some hair back then) and an obviously fake IntelliStar v1 warning crawl:

There was even one for PrimeTime Tonight that was promoted way back in 1991:

Lastly, here's a more recent one from last year:

Doh. For some reason I didn't think to see if the LDL was still up on the IS2Jr. You're likely right about it being a locally inserted commercial. Now I feel like a dope! :whistling:

Interesting fact: some very few small cable headends still use TV Guide equipment on what is now the Pop network. Here is a tuner video screenshot of the network from Charter channel 16 in Grand Coulee, WA, taken yesterday:

(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc475/TWCJim/pop_network_with_tv_guide_grand_coulee_wa_zpsamsoxfjv.jpg)

This headend has an analog-only lineup that only goes up to channel 99, with no digital Clear QAM or HD channels whatsoever. There aren't even digital set-top boxes with interactive TV guides, at lease not anymore because Charter discontinued the >100 channel lineup in Grand Coulee back in '08. I guess it makes sense as to why Charter still has TV Guide equipment, but still, it's kinda interesting how this is probably one of the very few headends left that still use the equipment even long after Pop rebranded from TVGN.  :yes:

That does NOT resemble a government site at all. I hope their other sites won't follow suit. :no:

I actually really like it. Looks a lot better than what it used to in my opinion, and it's nice to see the government modernizing their websites. They can't stay in the 1990s or 2000s forever lol :whistling:

They actually updated it not long before this, and the design matched in general with weather.gov and other NOAA sites.

We had a lot of hail yesterday, I apologize for the quality not being that great. I was caught off guard on how bad this storm was going to be so as soon as I went out in front of one of the windows on my back porch I hit record. The hail and wind actually got a little worse after this, but my memory on my SD card ran out so I couldn't record it. <_<

After a year break, welcome back to the Pot Belly Stove. A communal way to get through the long dark nights of winter and share your grivences with the cold, snow and ice. (Thundersnow encounters are welcome here too!)
