Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: July 03, 2009, 10:35:26 PM »From what I'm guessing, the maps were LED lights themselves, just like the map in the original A&B studio. Not sure how they burned out within only a few months of use, but it seems like they did indeed burn out since the right panel went out first, then the center panel only a few weeks later, and then several weeks later, the left panel finally went out.On this video, from August 18, you can see the center panel is working but not the other panels.

Local Forecast / Jazz is Gone
« on: July 03, 2009, 09:59:41 PM »Weather Channel changing up ‘On the 8s’ tunesUm, if they were pulling down ratings, then why did TWC create two CD's? The sales of those CD's actually reached near the top of the charts.

According to the article, Geoffrey Darby the new Vice President pushed for more rock music because Smooth Jazz was pulling down ratings.

General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch
« on: July 03, 2009, 12:58:37 PM »I'm back from my surgery! It turned out to be great rather than scary. I passed almost 48 hours of recovery and during recovery, I had to deal with dry eye, watery eyes, and pain. But no worries, I have some eye drops, eye gel and a pain killer. Although I dont have "crystal-vision" yet, I am getting better vision day-by-day I should get full recovery in three weeks, during those three weeks I have to be very careful. I have to go back Monday to get another surgery checkup.Hi Ana! Good to hear the surgery went well, hope the recovery all goes well too!
I have to rest my eyes often so I won't be online much to respond to something.
