Local Forecast / Re: Your Ideas for Flavor Lineups

« on: June 07, 2013, 11:43:20 AM »

Here are my ideas. All flavor lineups are 60 seconds.

:08/:38

Current Conditions
Regional Conditions
Regional Radar
Satellite or Radar/Satellite
Metro Forecast
Regional Forecast*
The Week Ahead

*If precip is detected, then the Local Radar will be used after the Regional one and the regional forecast won't display because of it.

:18/:48

Metro Conditions
Regional Radar
Almanac (Marine Forecast for coastal STARs)
Daypart Forecast (Tides for coastal STARs)
24 Hour Forecast
The Week Ahead

:28/:58

Current Conditions
Satellite or Radar/Satellite*
Air Quality Forecast (Daypart Forecast for coastal STARs)
Metro Forecast (2)
Regional Forecast**
The Week Ahead

*This product will be replaced with the local radar if precip is detected.
**For coastal STARs, the Almanac will be used before the Daypart Forecast product, instead of the regional forecast.

At 9:18PM PT, I saw the tides product on my STAR where the marine forecast product should be. Sadly, I was unable to get a video or picture of the now-rare tides screen.

Believe it or not, folks, I heard the ending of "Christmastime is Here" by Vince Guaraldi on NPR earlier this evening, right in the middle of June!

I was able to download and manually install the Windows 7 SP1, and everything worked successfully!    Many thanks for your help, guys

Lately I've been having problems installing updates on my laptop. There is one particular update that always fails to install successfully, whether it's automatic when I shut my laptop down or if I install it manually. I provided a screenshot to show the update that fails every time:



I tried just about every solution I could possibly find on the web, but with no luck     Anybody have an idea on what I should next to get the update to install successfully? 

BTW, my system is a Windows 7 Home Premium x64-based PC, if this is helpful.

64º Partly Cloudy

So nice to see the return of 60º+ temps here along the Washington/Oregon coastline

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

Andy mentioned this before, but it wasn't until tonight I realized how incredibly annoying this man really is. Those constant outbursts and interruptions while Dr. Forbes was talking mid-sentenced irritated me just enough to turn my head away from the TV and stop watching TWC in less than 2 minutes. It's good thing Dr. Forbes is a class act and professional when on-air because if I was in his shoes I would have been told Chris to STFU with his annoying squealing. I know that might seem extreme, but I have a pet peeve about people constantly interrupting people mid-sentence especially in a case like this when that said person is trying to explain to viewers what's happening and they can't get past a sentence without being asked a dozen other questions. It's a really bad habit I don't like.

My thoughts exactly.

IMO Chris Warren is just an annoying, constantly-interrupting person and it bothers me a lot when I'm trying to listen to Dr. Forbes talk about the dangerous OKC tornadoes. I've never been a fan of Chris and I most likely will never be due to how annoying he is

Not too long ago, I saw a TV ad for Stacy's Pita Chips, and "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs was playing in the background.

I'm not exactly sure what lava-chasing has to do with weather    I'm certain that nobody else knows why either.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Jesse    I completely understand how difficult and emotional it is for one to lose a very close family member. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family, and your relatives.
