Well, Jerry Springer is no longer the host, it's now Nick Cannon. It will be interesting to see how he reacts with the bad performances in the beg. of the season.

Meanwhile here are some DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS PERFORMANCES from last year:

Wow, that's unbelievable! For everyone wondering, Meteorology comes from the hydrometeors that constantly fall from the sky in the form of rain, hail, sleet, and snow.  They aren't real meteors, but the wording stuck as a meteor is technically anything that falls towards the Earth.

Interesting fact. Its so funny because I ignore his comment and Im striving to get my masters in Meteorology and hopefully work in the National Weather Service Writing Wx Discussions. lol...so I dont pay attention to that garbage. He is so stupid because that teacher kept talking about "Popeye" He is so obsessed with it. He keeps telling us to remember the quote "I am what I am!" and he wasted a lot of time analyzing the quote and watch movies. More importantly, when it was time to talk about the reformation of churches in England, when we got to Martin Luther...he showed us a movie about Martin Luther King. My dad's reaction was priceless. He was like "POPPPEYE!" "WHO ZHE HELL ISSS POPEYEEE? "IFF HEEE TEACHEEES YOUUUU POOOOPEYE ONE MORE TIMEE I WILL POOOP HIS EYE!" Lol...my dad is funny but he really wants me to get a good education. As for whether or not he supports me being a meteorologist, the answer is no...he wants me to be a medical doctor because they get paid more and have a stable job. So, Im actually lying to my parents about major because one time I tried tell him and he went all ballistic at me. So, I just decided to lie to him...I know it's bad but at least I get to do my field without any distractions. Maybe, I will tell them later but not now.

Guys...I'm going back to Swine-Flu Land...I need the mask and the hand sanitizer now. 

Im so nervous about getting the results of the physics (Magnetism) exam I took on Thursday. Please pray for me that I pass this class. Thanks

Oh my! well, I do wish you luck on that!!! I have my 3rd math midterm this tuesday and I am cramming big time!!! Good luck!!!! 

What math are you taking? Calc III? Linear Algebra? Diff EQ?

 
woooooooooooo I'm barely on my first year in comm. college and I am taking a refresher math class (basic, that is). In the summer I take Algebra with emphasis in graphing, then in the Fall Algebra 2, Winter: Trigonometry, Next Spring: Pre-calculus, and Next summer: Calculus 1. I am very bad at math but I am getting better thanks to the class I am taking.

Oh thats very good because there are some math profs at CC who just are too easy or lazy. At any rate... What's your major? What field are you planning to go into?

My math professor is too fast! That's all I gotta say.
I want to get into both Journalism and Meteorology. I want to work on Journalism first then meteorology. I am currently working on my transfer work to transfer to a university hopefully somewhere out of state or maybe up north of California where the weather is much better than here. I may do one major at at time or I could make Meteorology my major or Journalism my minor. Also, I have until the end of the year to decide which college I'm gonna be transferring. My first choice: Northern Arizona University.

Good Luck with that. As for the meteorology be prepared to take plenty of Physics and Math classes but its all worth it because you will need it for upper division meteorology.

OMG...I had a 10th grade teacher who said this..."I dont meteorology is good field because there's not a lot of meteors that crash on Earth!" What an idiot.

I really hope this new program turns out as a pleasant surprise.

Hope for the best but prepare/assume the worst....it IS NBC 
I'm skeptical of anything that disrupts the well formatted morning shows...especially my First Outlook

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Central 2009

« on: May 01, 2009, 03:59:53 PM »

Think its going to be a busy year?

Very interesting start to the thread, Martin. As for whether or not it will be a busy year, based on the Nino 3.4 region models, it shows that near netural to weak El Nino conditions may develop by mid-summer. If this is the case, then it means, we will start out with a near normal hurricane season but by the peak of the hurricane season, we will see a reduction in the number of hurricanesss out in the Atlantic. Overall, I dont think this hurricane season will be that active at all.

Just because NBC is now owning the Weather Channel. Doesnt mean to use Al Roker as part of the show. First of all, Im not a big fan of Al Roker. Especially after the Celebrity Family Feud...Boy you cant host at all. At least this is in his field but I bet you it will be canceled by next year or something. This is just one more reason why to not watch the weather channel. If you have no more ideas...TWC...why wont you put Atmospheres back, or Weather Ventures....anything but this garbage.

General Discussion / Hurricane Season 2009 Thread Will Be Posted....

« on: April 28, 2009, 08:15:33 PM »

on Friday, May 1, 2009 in the General Weather Chat Section. I will start the thread by posting the names of the Atlantic and Pacfic names that will be used in the 2009 hurricane season. The point of that thread is to alert the TWC Today memebers about tropical weather systems that are out in the open waters and ones that threaten/or will make landfall. So, dont be afraid and start posting away when that thread is posted. Also....you may post satelite images as well as the Five Day Forecast Cone. Ok, well...that will do for now.

Is there any way I can get the music without the words in it. Meaning the just the music?
