General Discussion / Uploading 10+ minute videos onto YouTube

How are you able to upload videos longer then ten minutes onto YouTube? I've seen some people that are able to do this, but it doesn't allow me to.

I love Boscov's. i hope they don't close the store in the Shore Mall.

If the one in the Shore Mall closes then that mall will really struggle. Isn't the Value City there supposed to close this year?

I'm not really a big fan of the Shore Mall anyway. I prefer the Hamilton Mall when I go to the shore. It's newer, and they have more of the stores I like. Though, I haven't been to either of those malls in at least 2-3 years.

Your Local Weather / Re: St. Louis Weather

« on: August 05, 2008, 12:14:22 AM »

St. Louis is among many cities in the central and southern plains feeling the oppressive heat. Temperatures as of the 9PM CDT hour are still into the 90's. With dewpoints well into the 70's and even into the low 80's in some areas, the heat index is 10-15° warmer than the actual temperature. Tomorrow is expected to be the last day of the heat wave, followed by relief on Wednesday.

There's a Boscov's a bit north in Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne, PA that's closing which also opened about two years ago, in the former Strawbridges building.

Boscov's, a department store chain based in the mid-Atlantic, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and is to close ten of its 49 stores.

It seems that every three months a good playlist comes up. Since Brian Picard took over, I've only liked the November 2007, March 2008, and July 2008 playlists, all of which are three months apart.

That still doesn't beat, "Do it, holmes."

Haha, that reminds me of an ad crawl that displays on my intellistar that says something along the lines of "Hey holmes check out Bucks County River Country where we love to see you wet." I think it may be in one of my youtube videos somewhere, but if not I'll try to get a clip of it.

My IntelliStar shows a lot of really weird ad crawls for some reason...

Everything Else TWC / Re: Commercials and Sponsorship ads from 2000?

« on: August 04, 2008, 04:35:37 PM »

I think September 10, 2001. I always remember thinking how weird it was making my first TWC recording the day before 9-11.

Was that when you discovered TWC?

Yeah I came across this awhile back. They also have pictures of the studio as it was from 1997-2000:

Great, my favorite song in this playlist is unavailable. I've tested all the available songs in itunes and it didn't match.

What song is that?

I guess they forgot to put it up yesterday again on PM Edition. Last Monday they had the side evening backdrop up for the first hour or so of Day Planner.

The EE backdrop WAS on PM Edition yesterday. Heck, it was on Weather Center, too.

Yeah, that's what I said. They forgot to put the backdrop away yesterday at the end of PME and take out the daytime one.

Meh, this playlist is okay, not as good as last months, though.

Even though Mike has appeared in studio less and less over the last several years, I think he has really come to let his personality shine more than ever. He really started to become a character when he spent the spring of 2007 working with Dave almost every weekend.

This

is a perfect example.

Is it just me, or have they rotated the desk so that they're now doing the show from in front of the PM Edition/Weekend View backdrop?

Are you sure that's a backdrop and not a video wall? On the weather.com studio tour, the backdrop in the interview area is different than what's shown on the air.
