Do we know if the real Titan HD can not be twirled and tilted like Skytracker could be?

(This comes after seeing too many maps turned and twisted the last couple of days.)

Sounds like the Severe Weather/Tropical Update sting is part of a full music cue...during the 5:50 storm update, the stinger played twice, then it played a third about 30 seconds-1 minute later.

Count on Carl Parker to start the Weekly Planner with the Jet Stream Forecast!

Boy oh boy, though.  That desk works really well as a set.

And now, it's time for Abrams and Bettes in HD!

And they use a third different configuration...with a flattened globe in the background.

Local Forecast / Re: Weather Channel Presents: Best of Smooth Jazz II

Update:  On Thursday, after I got my Wii ( ), I went to Borders to get my copy of the CD.  It took almost half and hour and some gentle harrasing of the staff (NOT Bob Stokes-style) to go to the back and check...and I got a copy.  Overall, I'm pleased with the CD, a good mix of classic songs/artists (Rippingtons, Eric Marienthal) and new stuff (Lorber, Williams, Joesph).

What's interesting is the liner notes...three OCMs give quotes - Carl Parker, Betty Davis of PM Edition, and Kim Perez of Weekend Now.

I also like the cover and images used in this set...better than some random person standing there.

Uhh...What? What's a superstation feed?

It's now called "WGN America"...we get certain programming from WGN-Chicago, and other programming when you have CW programming.

Of course, I missed it.

Was it on WGN nation-wide, or only the Chicago affiliate?

I don't think the morning WGN show is on the Superstation feed...unlike the 9 news.

Warnings here just are for Flash Flood, Severe T'Storm, and Tornado.  I can live with that.

This absolute garbage is what spurred me to start the Comcast Sucks thread over at TWCC a while ago.
