Martin, I really think you should just delete this thread. Locking it would not do much good

Well Zach, here's a good example to illustrate your point:
I happened to be up in St Ignace for the Labor Day Mackinac Bridgewalk when "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes played during WUWA
Here it is in Lansing (22840):
And it sounds really different on 22842 in the E.L. and Haslett:

)Also heard "Rockit" in its entirety on 99.1's "Retro Weekend" on my way back over to Haslett this evening.

Starting at just over a minute in and continuing through the text based and week ahead, "Maggie" by Jim Couchenour, on the overnite list, sounds like there is a clock/time bomb clicking in my pants

So, I just got back from the Haslett High School talent show... except I was not in it nor was I an audience member... I was one of 3 people manning cameras. I'm really taking an active interest in being on TV production next year (which is what viewers of the E.L. and Haslett see on TV every Friday), as weather geek sounds neato to me
We just started using the cameras yesterday in TV Media Issues, and this was a new experience for me this evening... taking direction from the director in the control booth, and maneuvering the camera. It was definitely something you need to be awake for and concentrating on...

We all get affected by El Nino and La Nina differently. For me, La Nina is actually a good thing. Our last El Nino winter, 2006-2007, was by far THE most miserable winter I have ever been through. It was incredibly mild, our highest snow total was about 4 inches, and just about every shot of snow we had turned into a bust. The next winter, 2007-2008, was one of the best I had had in years. And that was a La Nina winter. We got bombarded by storm after storm after storm. Numerous events, including our first white New Year's since the turn of the millennium. While the 69.5 inches of snow we ended up with that season is not the highest snow total we have ever seen here in Lansing, it was definitely a banner winter. The Grand Rapids area closed that winter with near 100 inch snow totals. The second I found out that this winter was going to be an El Nino winter (back in August), my mood started to fade, and the color drained right out of me. This winter has had several lates for me... namely our first snow guess not being until 12/3, and our first big snow being in the second week of February.
Point being, we all get affected differently.

Remember what I told you as a tip yesterday in handling large images? I'm glad that you changed it to a smaller thumbnail now.Um, call me crazy, but wasn't this an issue that should have been brought up through PM instead of here where people can see it?Furthermore, I don't want you and Tyler causing another argument to start here as I've seen it before in other areas of the forum, so please watch it.

I was shocked beyond all belief when I turned on the 10:48 AM EST LF at school this morning....
Why in the world do you have access to control a TV at school? I thought schools were for learning?
I have agreements with a couple of my teachers at school to let me watch a couple LFs. Right before 4th hour, my 4th hour teacher allows me to walk in the room and turn on the TV for the 10:48 AM ET LF. My 6th hour teacher also allows me to watch the 1:58 PM ET LF (hence my signature) during 6th hour. The school happens to have cable. Not that big of a deal... and people want to know the weather as well.

General Discussion / Great Commercials
« on: February 23, 2010, 11:10:51 PM »
You know, there are so many commercials out there that we loathe, and either press the mute button or change the channel. But honestly, there has to be at least a couple commercials out there you like! I thought I should start this thread for that very reason. A few commercials I really like include...
Better than just circles... pfft. WHAT? Sorry...
You've all seen this by now... "gottahava wawa"
Start your day on a roll, with a Wawa breakfast hoagie
Built to order just for you in the morning
Nothing is better...
the Bacon and cheddar
Breakfast at Wawa for the go-getter
Isn't it great that Philly cheesesteak
And the swiss can't miss
It's the Wawa breakfast hoagie
A few funny Geico ads...
I thought this was well put together
And of course, who could forget this...

« on: February 23, 2010, 07:29:50 PM »The pictures look fine, but they are really big on here. As a tip for you, try either providing links to the pictures rather than showing the images themselves in the post, or compress down the images for us to view them better in the future. Yes, the Sun will slowly appear to rise and set more northward with each passing day until the Summer Solstice.So should I use the scene with the Power Plant in it or the other snapshot with just the Lansing skyline?

So I'm working on a "Sun Project" for Earth Science. How this works is that all 4 Earth Science classes are taking pictures of either the sunrise or sunset (most, myself included, are doing the sunset). We need to take the picture in the exact same spot every time, and we generally want to do this every 4 daze. However, because Michigan weather is not cooperating with us, we have not had many opportunities to work on the project. The only times that the weather has cooperated with us was 2/9 and 2/19. The sun came out this afternoon, but because of solid overcast to the west, the sun was obscured as it set.
Because I live downtown, homes are closer together, so it's impossible to do it out on my deck. However, being downtown gives me an advantage to have access to taller buildings. As such, I am able to walk to Sparrow Hospital, and use the Lansing skyline from the 6th (top) floor of the parking garage as the backdrop for my project.
Tell me what you think of some of these pictures

Now, notice how this leaning edge of clouds also can be closely noticed on my sat/rad:
I'm dealing with sort of a dilemma here. I believe, as the sun becomes more overhead, it will move to the right (north) in the pictures, right? I want to have Eckert Power Plant (which is where my power comes from, lol) on the far left as a delineating landmark, but I am concerned that the sun will go out of the picture in future times. Thoughts?
Anyways, that Power Plant also had two of its cooling towers damaged (one destroyed) back in June 2008 when the tornado on which a warning was issued in this video
came by there.
You can see the Michigan State Capitol toward the rite on the pictures there. Sorry about their size, lol.
