General Weather Chat / Re: Summer Heat (Lack of)
« on: July 31, 2013, 03:17:11 PM »
Although it hasn't been too hot here, we've had plenty of hot days. One thing I haven't liked is the precipitation pattern. In early spring, we had lots of downpours. Now it's mostly dry. And it doesn't seem like we've had many thunderstorms. We've had a fair amount of rain (at least early on), but not the kind of storms you'd expect this time of the year in the midwest.

Actually, (if you're referring to YT) your strike goes away after 6 months provided you don't get another strike since. I have no copyright strikes on my account now despite getting now last year. It's been removed because I uploaded didn't get a claim on anything else since. YT could care less if you upload a 1000 songs that are tagged, nothing would happen (just be cautious with Smashing Pumpkins - Pinwheels from last July's list, that's the song I got a strike from).
Interesting. Thanks for the info!

I actually know the difference between a tag and a strike. I have a few songs with a tag, but only one (I think) with a claim, in which the audio was removed. Believe me, I'm perfectly fine with my videos being tagged with a link or ad. It's the claims I worry about. And it's always been my understanding that once you get a strike, there's nothing you can do. In other words, deleting the video doesn't fix the problem. So I was a little confused as to why you would remove videos that are tagged.

If your video gets tagged by a copyright holder you can delete the video which is possibly the easiest thing to do to avoid a copyright strike.
Wow, I've never heard of that. I thought once you uploaded a copyrighted video, you were dinged and there was no recourse.

If you upload a video and it gets tagged, there's nothing you can do about it. And if you get tagged enough, your account is deleted. Right?

I currently do not have the site permissions to access the music page which is why we came up with the YouTube solution, and I agree I am worried about the copyrights which is why I will only upload songs that currently doesn't get tagged by YouTube.
How do you know they won't get tagged? Sorry for all the questions. I'm seriously considering doing something similar with my videos, but I just assumed it wouldn't be wise to move the ones with songs in them.

The reason i'm doing it is because martin came up with a great idea to have the songs embedding on youtube instead of on the site (in which there isn't any way to update the music page manually)
What do you mean you can't update the music page manually? And aren't you worried about copyright claims? I don't think it matters how long the clip is.

I discussed a solution with Martin and we have come up with creating a TWCTodayMusic youtube page so all of the music featured on TWC could be heard there. each clip will only be 30 seconds long to be somewhat similar to amazon.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you doing that?

It will take a few days before Google removes the warnings, so those of you on Chrome and Firefox will still see them.
Not me (using Firefox).
Scratch that. It was just at home. Still getting it at work.

One of the most bizarre requests a customer made of me: a customer was a few dollars short of the total owed, so she told me to pay the rest of it with my own money, and then she started to grab her bags and walk away.  I held onto the bags and told her that I was not going to pay for customer's purchases with my own money and that she either had to pay the full amount or remove some merchandise from her purchase.  After screaming until she was literally red in the face and calling me every name in the book, she abandoned the purchase altogether, yelling about how horrible my customer service was for not "helping" her and "giving her a break."
Wow, that is classic! Unfortunately, that's the kind of thing you get when we live in an entitlement society. People get handouts from the government, and so they expect it in other areas of their lives. I've never been a cashier, but I was a sales rep for a few years at Best Buy. One of the more bizarre things that happened to me was I got a call from a customer, asking about some software. At first, he didn't ask his question very clearly, so I said his understanding was incorrect. When he explained it better, I apologized and said he was correct. He then went into a hissy-fit about always getting poor customer service at my store. He said "do you know who I am!?" I thought "no, but I bet you can't wait to tell me." He told me he was with some paid shoppers group, and that because of what I did, he was going to give my store a poor rating. I thought "uh, okay. Anything else dips***? Because I have a real customer in front of me with a question." He then asked for my name and my supervisor, which I gave him. I did so knowing he was all talk and wouldn't do anything. And he didn't. I was never so much as asked about the event. I laugh every time I think about it. This guy apparently thought that getting paid to "shop" was being like a foreign diplomat or something.

I think my experiences working at Best Buy and a retirement home (my first job) helped me become more aware of how I treat those I encounter in customer service. I always do my best to be polite and not make silly demands.

What about "Baker Street" by Gerry Raferty (Not the vocal part)? Has that one played on The Weather Channel in times gone by?
Not that I'm aware of.
