The Game Room / Weather Word Game

« on: April 06, 2008, 11:51:27 PM »

The game goes as follows, post a weather word (or 2-4 words if you like) by starting with the last letter of the recent post.

Example:

Windy Conditions
_________________________________________

Sunny
_________________________________________________________________

So to kick things off:

Severe Weather.

You're quite welcome.

I'll probably create a better version of the Variably Cloudy XL Icons in a week or 2. Otherwise Me, Tyler, and Al have covered pretty much everything...and then some.

Unless....I can create Severe Weather Alerts using the icons.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter adds TWC HD

Hmm, what ever happened to Comcast being the best cable provider available, adding new HD channels everyday?

According to a local commercial here in DFW, Time Warner Cable is the best provider that "adds more HD channels through its advanced fiber network".

If that's the case Time Warner, then I'm still waiting to see The Weather Channel HD in the lineup!

In the LA area Comcast got bought out by Time Warrer right before football season and that made a lot of people quite angery since they lost the NFL Network.

That was the situation with the North Texas area almost 2 years ago. And had they not re-upped their carriage agreements with Fox owned stations KDFW (Fox) and KDFI (MyNetworkTV), there would be more ticked customers.

As requested, the Variably Cloudy icons. Forgetting how they looked like when they were still in the XL system, I just went ahead and winged it. They aren't the best ones, but here goes:

And just for the heck of it, I've created a "Variably Cloudy" icon for the current set.

General Discussion / Radio Station in Texas Town to become "Green"

« on: April 03, 2008, 06:47:50 PM »

Yes, you've read right; KAND in Corsicana, TX will become the United States' first "Green" radio station. Its programming consists of eco-friendly News and Talk programs with longtime radio personality Kevin McCarthy (formerly at KLIF 570 AM) filling the 10:00AM to Noon (central time) slot. Although the 1,000 Watt station doesn't cover the immediate Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, KAND will be streaming online to several North Texas listeners. The said "Hybrid" format is set to launch on June 1, 2008.

Changes afoot at two area radio stations. - Star-Telegram

General Discussion / Lone Lion at Dallas Zoo Dies

Death leaves Dallas Zoo lionless

By JOANNA CATTANACH / The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS, Texas — Boris, the Dallas Zoo's only lion, died Wednesday, zoo officials said. The majestic 415-pound African lion had shown signs of discomfort over the last week, the zoo said, and X-rays showed multiple growths in his chest cavity.

The veterinary staff sedated the lion and spotted what was believed to be a large cancerous mass pressing against his stomach and lungs. The results of a necropsy – the animal equivalent of an autopsy – will determine the official cause of death.

Zoo officials said that the mass inhibited Boris' breathing and that he was unable to recover from the sedation. He died in the early afternoon.

Not bad. I'd make the "Your" text black. It's kind of hard to see white text on top of the sun.

I was gonna say the same thing. Other than that, great job!!

See if you can do another satellite emulator like that, except use the latest icon set.

Yesterday has been quite eventful. The National Weather Service has surveyed the damaged in Northern Johnson County and has determined that 2 tornadoes have in fact touched down in that said area. Both of them are EF-0s (thank goodness).
