I imagine it wouldn't take any longer than a day or two. If the headend is on top of their game, and everything goes smoothly, it could probably be done in a few hours.

This is exciting. I just found a 1981 Rand McNally Road Atlas! 
It's neat to see how different everything looked 27 years ago.

552 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2008
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE PA HAS ISSUED AN
* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
EASTERN YORK COUNTY...
LANCASTER COUNTY...
* UNTIL 845 PM EDT...
* AT 550 PM EDT DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED HEAVY RAIN WAS FALLING DUE TO
SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS. DOPPLER RADAR ESTIMATES THAT IN EXCESS OF
1 INCH OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE LAST HOUR. EXPECT FLOODING TO
BEGIN SHORTLY.
* LOCATIONS IN THE ADVISORY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO AKRON...
COLUMBIA...DALLASTOWN...EAST PETERSBURG...EAST PROSPECT...
EPHRATA...FELTON...LANCASTER...LEOLA...LITITZ...LOGANVILLE...
MILLERSVILLE...NEW HOLLAND...RED LION...SEVEN VALLEYS...SPRY...

THE HEAVY RAIN WILL CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND ALONG
SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS. URBAN AREAS WILL ALSO BE VULNERABLE TO

IMMEDIATELY LIFE THREATENING.
MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.
BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF THE FLOODING THREAT INCREASES...OR A
WARNING IS ISSUED.

Now why can't they update the rest of the weather.com maps? They've been the same for nearly 10 years now!

Local Forecast / Re: Weather Channel Presents: Best of Smooth Jazz II
« on: June 10, 2008, 01:58:31 PM »FYE probably won't have it. The ones here don't have a really good selection of jazz music, and they do a horrible job at organizing their shelves. Are there any book stores (like Borders or Barnes & Noble) in your area? If so I'd check there. They have a good variety of jazz music including a lot of songs featured on TWC. B&N is where I purchased the first TWC CD.Correct, FYE didn't have it, nor did they have the first TWC CD. There are no other places around here to get CDs at other than FYE or Wal-Mart.
I got the first CD at my local Wal-Mart, but they no longer have a jazz music section.Same; I got the first one the day it came out at Wal-Mart. I went to both Wal-Marts in town, neither had it. BTW, when I was at the other Wal-Mart in town (the one I don't work at), they were playing an Epic Conditions segment on the TVs. Why do they play that, but don't have the TWC CD?

« on: June 10, 2008, 11:18:25 AM »I didn't quite catch the whole segment, and I am pretty sure this was at 12:50 CT..or 11:50, during the tropical update, Rich couldn't forward the map, so they brought Sharon in the picture, and showed the trade-off of clickers.Here's how I remember it happening: They had Rich up at the left video screen, then he stepped out of the picture, and then at that point they went to a wide shot where the entire projection wall was in picture, and you could see Sharon giving the clicker to Rich in the center.
I'm not sure if they already had the camera zoomed out..b/c as I mentioned, I didn't catch the whole segment, only the tradeoff..
