Dont mean to change the subject but has anyone heard about the dish network weatherscan or whatever they were going to release on 213?

Yes, that was announced months ago.

Haven't updated this in awhile... last week, I took my mom's contract which expired and upgraded my Blackberry to a Motorola Droid X.

Hey everyone.  I have a question for you all.  Is there currently a 'duopoly'within your television market?  This basically means one station doing news for themselves and another station?  The station I work at is going to start doing news for the local Fox afilliate, and I am just curious how duoplies work out in other markets.

Yes, our NBC affiliate does news for our MyTV affiliate, as well as our CBS affiliate doing newscasts for the CW affiliate.

It's looking like I'll be having very little people that I know in my classes here as well. Mainly since I'm in an unique situation where I'm only at high school in the morning this year (through 12:10 PM).

Maybe Martin can confirm if Storm Alert is indeed gone. The last time they went into Storm Alert was September 2008.

River stages are useful for boaters and mariners too.

This reminds me of a similar case with Ivan in 2004. Although that storm went off the Atlantic coast first and didn't regenerate until it reached the Gulf about a week or so after it made its first landfall in Florida. That was pretty interesting to watch.

I think something is wrong with my car's engine. Last year, my muffler/exhaust went and I had to replace it. Now this year it seems to be going again, as the engine is loud and making popping sounds whenever I accelerate. Last Saturday, the check engine light was on, but it went off after a few hours and I don't think that had to do with this (but rather with the gas cap which I also need to replace). Any ideas? I don't want to have to replace my exhaust again, as it cost almost $1,000 to get it replaced last year. I have a '97 Camry V6, with 129,000 miles on it. It's only been about 10,000 miles since I installed the current exhaust system on it.

This idea has been brought up by Tyler before, and I agree that it would be useful. Don't think there's enough demand for it though, and as people said, there's probably not enough room for it.

There hasn't been a new Storm Session since February 2009. I miss that show.

I don't see the need for a sports package... most sports can be viewed on the big 3 networks and ESPN anyway.
