My school offers Spanish, French, German, Russian, Latin, and Itallian. I took two years of basic Level 4 Spanish in 10th and 11th grade.

As for drivers ed, that is part of my school's 10th Grade Health Course. Just this year, they introduced driving simulators and golf carts we can drive in with "drunk goggles" on (with teacher supervision of course). Wow, wish they had all of this when I took drivers ed (2007)!

So did Chris Geith ended up composing the music to the shows? I know I remember hearing how he was chosen to compose music for them but I never heard if they ended up using his music.

I didn't visit any of the college I applied to (applied and got accepted to 4 universities). Everything I needed to know was on their websites.

It's always good to visit colleges if your curious about the atmosphere of the campus and whatnot that the sites may not provide enough of. I myself like to see how they're like in person regardless.

Actually, I think he's trying to point out the old version of the IS in that picture, not the temperatures.

Would be nice if they'd apply the update to the STARs, but I can see how that can be kinda difficult to do so many updates within a matter of days or even hours.

It was 1990 for me.  I still remember when TWC covered Hurricane Andrew.

While I obviously don't remember Andrew, I remember seeing promotions about a special TWC put together for Andrew's 10th anniversary. I never saw the special though.

Intellistar 2 HD up in my area! Doesn't look as amazing as this, but it's still a nice Intellistar!

That's the satellite forecast you're seeing.

wow, I just saw an On The Radar segment during PME. I honestly thought they weren't doing those anymore.

I saw one last week.

I thought Forecast Earth has been around since 2005

If I can recall, 2004 or 2005

Forecast Earth started in mid 2003, although it was initially just occasional specials that aired. It wasn't until January 2006 when they started showing it on a regular basis.

Sorry I never checked in here until now, but I appreciate your updates. I do have a few questions and suggestions in mind:

- Did the WSL really have a seperate screen for coastal advisories? I know on the intellistar, the advisories are just posted in the coastal waters forecast.

- As for the LDL, I think an option to turn it on or off is the best idea.

- Also, I'm glad you're looking at implementing travel. Other products I hope to see in the future include Airport and Health.

- I'd also like to see several different background packages for the local forecast, like coastal backgrounds and city backgrounds.

It's unavailable. I've tried asking Jeanne and she said it's n/a.
