I love my classes this year!!  And my English teacher is not like past ones ive had

Lucky. My classes are OK, but my World Cultures teacher is old and senile and looks like he wants to kill me. I feel uncomfortable in his class. But I can't complain about my other classes. My German teacher is AWESOME.

I always wanted to take German but I didn't want to switch after starting Latin. 5 years of that was enough foreign language for me!

Everything Else TWC / Millions Turn to The Weather Channel For Hurricane Earl Coverage

« on: September 11, 2010, 01:42:52 AM »

TWC Reaches 42 Million Viewers and Posts Highest Reach Among the News Networks for Sept. 1-3

The network posted an average A25-54 delivery of 356 (+314%) on Sept. 2. Viewership peaked at 7:15 a.m. on Sept. 3 with an A25-54 quarter hour delivery of 531.

TWC ranked No. 1 among the news networks in A18-49 during the Morning daypart on Sept. 3

In addition to posting its best page view day ever during tropical activity on Sept. 2, TWC digital properties (weather.com, Mobile, Desktop) had its tenth best page view day ever.
weather.com had 11 million unique visitors and  70 million page views on Sept. 2, which ranked as the fourth biggest traffic day forweather.com during a major hurricane (behind Ike, Rita and Katrina) according to SiteCatalyst. From Aug. 31- Sept. 3, the website also saw an increase in video streams of 778 percent from prior week averages.

Hurricane Earl also generated record-breaking page view days for The Weather Channel for iPad application, resulting in three of the top five page view days for iPad so far.

This is why.... TWC will always hype a storm and they will keep pimping their apps and weather.com

TWC must be doing something right to attract viewers because these numbers are staggering for a storm that never even made landfall.

Hmmm. Model watching time!

REGARDLESS OF THE
EXACT INTENSITY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT IGOR
WILL GROW IN SIZE...POTENTIALLY BECOMING A LARGE-SIZED HURRICANE THAT WILL LIKELY RECURVE OUT TO SEA.

I think my last year of high school will be great... only have 4 classes, and get out at 12:05.

You only have 4 classes total? Are any double blocked or something?

Nah its perfectly ok! We are just saying don't fill their inbox with all types of questions. I didn't know if Mike was implying that you should ask them about the ldl. Thats all

Actually, I was asking if you or Tyler could find that out for us... sorry if I wasn't clear in my post above...

Gotcha no problem. Sorry for getting it mixed up.

Interesting on the ldl situation as well.

If you have a bunch of poems, maybe you should devote one thread to them rather than making many topics for each one.

Patrick is right. I enjoyed your poems very much but please try to keep topics to a minimum. Thanks I merged the topics for now. I hope you don't mind too much. If you can think of a good title to let folks know you can replace the one I made up real quick in your original post.

that last picture on that website is awfully similar to the one on weather.com, just with color on the outfit (it's also the same outfit)...

the color was added on the weather.com one, you can tell thanks to the spotty gray spots near her right shoulder.

Thats hilarious that TWC did that
