Programming and Graphics / Re: New HD LDL
« on: July 10, 2010, 03:45:32 PM »
Just to clarify, you photoshopped the LDL in, right? I have a feeling that it really didn't air when those pics were taken... Correct me if I'm wrong.

I Ms-painted them in just hoping to show what it might look like in the future.
yus that's what I thought xD

For future reference: the term "photoshopped" generally means the image was somehow doctored...not that the person actually has Photoshop.

Interesting sign...I've never seen one before either. :no: And thanks for the explanation, Jonathan. :D

We've been high-centered before, but it wasn't because of a :censored: ly-made road. It was because of snowpack.

Never seen those before, or even heard of "low ground clearance" before. You won't find anything like that near the busy, congested roads around here. :P What's the purpose of that anyway?

It's for trucks that are pulling trailers...or even just vehicles. It's to protect from being high-centered. If only one of those would pop up during major winter storms for cars. <_<

Hey everyone, I know I don't post much, if at all, but I've got a question.  You've all been (or still are) in elementary school/early junior high/middle school.  I'm an instructor at a local daycare, and we're doing a weather/seasons week soon.  My question is, do you all have any ideas of simple, inexpensive activities that relate to weather that I could do with the kids?  Thanks for your suggestions in advance!  PM me if there's an idea or few that you've got! 

PS:  the age range of the kids is 5 (kindergarten) through 12.
The classic Tornado in a bottle (when you attach two 2 liter bottles together) is always fun! I remember doing that in elementary school. Its a cheap and neat activity to try :)

My science teacher bought these things that screw the two bottles together...I think they're from Steve Spangler. No guarantees on its origin, but it's a lot less messy.
Duck tape works too :P

Martin, there are so many different meanings to that, many of which I will NOT detail. Haha...I know what you're talking about. :P

Oh no! Why would you even begin to think about it that way? :wall: :bleh:

I'm 14! xD :P

I definitely saw the Hawaii map. To be honest, I like it a lot more. The design is much cleaner...with the basemap in a box and the data in small boxes to the right. Very to-the-point...I have had similar ideas in previous weather map projects.

This past year, we had a 7 day forecast up in our room, with velcro icons and temperatures, and we had a class meterologist (which was me  :whistling:) who looked up the forecast and arranged the 7 day forecast. I don't know if that would work with your younger group, though.  :no:

That sounds a little young for your age, Trevor. But it's also a bit too old for a preschool, most likely. Could be a way to teach a little number identification. I'd give the age group for that as 6-9. Before, it's almost impossible to them. After, it's just stupid to them.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Redesigned website coming soon!
« on: July 07, 2010, 01:25:10 PM »
Can somebody find out whether or not they are going to keep Gold or if it will change or not? I rely on this a lot for my school's morning show.

You're better off using Weather Underground. I'm sorry, but I hate TWC's forecasts. I find a severe thunderstorm on a "fair" day absolutely ridiculous. Just as a freelance project, I've taken on redesigning the NWS site. (I have way too much freetime in summer.) :P Also, HiRAD my foot.

General Discussion / Re: Firefox Beta 4
« on: July 06, 2010, 07:41:03 PM »
Finally Firefox with a decent design! Firefox 4 Beta 1 is out http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/

Working well for me now. Not sure if I will make the switch back from Chrome though.


I agree. FF4 Beta 1 (It'd be best to change the topic to Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 or something similar) doesn't look wonderful in XP...and it's still slow on my computer. I think—unless there is a major speed change for the better coming soon—I'm going to stick with Chrome through the FF4 betas at least. I'll probably give it another try later on when the RCs start coming or the final version of 4.0 is released.
