 :thrilled:  Look at this.  Apparently, it's called a "pneumonia front" and involves a RAPID and SHARP temperature drop.  Going from upper 70s ahead of it to the upper 40s behind it.

It's so extreme, I was sweating 45 minutes ago.  Now I feel a chill  :brr:

About $3.80-$3.90 for 87 gas, and $4.99 for diesel. Wouldn't be surprised if we see $6 or $7 gas by year's end.

In your area?  Pfft.

That's crazy!  A member's great aunt has made it all the way to the news! :wacko:

So, what am I seeing, then?  I'm obviously seeing the new HD satellite forecast that came out last February.  When I turn on TWC, I have to type in 214.  If I wanted the standard TWC, then I have to manually hit Channel Up (there's two 214's)

What I have, is a Motorola DSR-4402X IRD receiver in place, I see each channel, as its own map; on each transponder, on each satellite  I don't have a Dish receiver. Dish receivers can view multiple (2) satellites at once and make one big guide out of two satellites.

From what you said, I thought TWC HD was on channel 214 (11276, H, 20000, 119) , when I found out it wasnt there, I scanned the transponder (cluster of channels within a group, 11276, H, 20000), when it wasnt on that transponder, I scanned the satellite (119) when I scanned the satellite and found nothing about TWC HD, I thought you were crazy. I think I found out where my mistake was...

Check this out, I'm sure you can figure this out but get in to your Dish Pointing / Dish Aiming selection in the Options menu (Mostly it's press Options, 6, 1, 1) and tell me if it says "Echostar 119 West" or "Echostar 129 West"... If it says 119 West, I'll eat my hat.


Umm, actually, it says Satellite 61.5.  I checked to see which options were available, and 119, and 129 were in the list, but I have 61.5 selected apparantly.

Just scanned the satellite, there is no TWC HD transport stream... I think you might have seen a SD feed mix up.  :hmm:

Wait, what?  It may not be in true HD (yet), but it is the HD feed.  I don't know what you're getting at :wacko:

Eh, the new update is just....okay  :yawn:
Just okay? I think it's awesome! :cool3: Much better than the old one, IMO. :yes:

Nothing really stands out.  Same basic color scheme, same basic "I want to fall asleep" look to it.  It's not like the HD national forecast, now THAT has a wow to it.

Also, it looks like Cheryl Lemke has permanently assumed Swizzle Stick's old job on weekend mornings & Mon-Wed. morning fill-in.

Oh, that's his new nickname, now? :P

I have to disagree. I don't see how this has anything to do with Bush. If it were Obama, or Clinton, or anyone else the outcome would've been the same.

Yea, really.  These "blame Bush" people really need to be kicked in the ass...

Indeed, great list!!

That's stupid. People SHOULD be allowed to swear on live TV. Parental Controls are insane these days. Punishing everyone because of stupid kids.

Yeah, really.  Does everything have to be about the children?  What about the veterans of childhood...the one's who made it out alive!

Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Online.

Pretty much at every store that sells that kind of stuff still sells VHS tapes. I'm not sure why you can't find them, they are still widely available.  :unsure:
Hmm, let's see... Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Online.

Out of those Wal-Mart is really my only choice, and I went there today and they had none. We have no Target, Circuit City, or Best Buy in town, and I'm not that keen about buying stuff online just because the hassle of it.

Walgreens?  Virtually any retail store I can think of..I buy packs at a time
