Are you serious? It's only October! I think they'll start about a week prior to Christmas like they've had done in the last 10 years.

Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Shary

« on: October 29, 2010, 06:33:49 AM »

Last year, you may recall, the central/eastern Pacific was much more active than the Atlantic, with 20 named storms (versus nine in the Atlantic). So far this year we've had 18 named storms in the Atlantic and only seven in the eastern Pacific. No storms have formed in the central part of the ocean yet this year. If it stays this way it will be the first season with no named storms in the central Pacific (new storms or remnants of storms from the east) since 1979, and the EastPac will have their quietest season in at least 15 years.

Shirley Powell? I'm guessing she's Darby's replacement?

I'm at about 1998 technology wise. I have a cheap Tracfone cellphone, a 1985 52" tv, 1987, 1997 27" tv, a cheap Emachines computer.... I have to say I hate all the new technology crap, including on tv/TWC. I wish we could all go back to 1998 technology wise. 

Heh, I still use several 90's stuff myself. All of my TV's are still CRTs, and I still frequently record on VCRs.

Is there a reason why TWC didn't "approve" it? Was it ratings?

It was when I asked about why the NHC didn't indicate remnant lows anymore in Paula's thread, but when an admin said it's time to drop the thread after that, it made me feel discouraged.

I like the idea, although when I ask question about a hurricane that had dissipated, I get told not to ask them because apparently I can't do so when a storm is no longer active.

Not a chance I'm getting an iPhone. Apple has way too many rules and restrictions on their products. Android is so much better.

I didn't know anyone who had a cell phone until middle school. Scary how 2nd graders have cell phones now.

Local Forecast / Re: October 2010 Playlist

« on: October 24, 2010, 10:38:47 PM »

Looking back at my clips, there seems to be two cuts of Rock Steady from the morning playlist being used too. There's 60/90 second only cut with a time-in of ~:06, then there's another cut used on all flavors with a time-in of ~:25. I can upload clips to compare, along with the Straight no Chaser cuts.

The Jeep commercials. That song that plays in the end of the commercial is irritating.

Whatever the case may be, TWC has become a cash cow. That wasn't the case back in their early days.

That's what all companies are nowadays.

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.

Are you sure that discoloration isn't just part of the graphic and not a faint line?

From Carl Parkers Facebook:

Sammy George: Saah hey carl i was wondering how come you are not using the hd walls and why are you using the green screen and when will they return the hd wall monitors (big Screen)

Don't always believe in what the OCMs say. You're better off waiting until Tyler or Martin get something from a source that's much more reliable.

I love it! I especially like how he made the ampersand blend into the moon like that. Neat.
