The Diner's Club

[Al Bedo]

Come hang out in The Diner's Club:

http://www.dinersclub.com/en/images/DCI_Logo.gif

It'll be the nightside people's version of Random Thoughts!

You'll find oodles of famous and non-famous (like me!) Medialiners here graemlins/icon_kidra.gif

The Diner's Club...when the Breakfast Club just doesn't do it for you. tongue.gif

[StWXud]

I guess that title is a little better than 'hi' smile.gif

I'll start of with wishing everyone a great night of drinking and friendship

I can't believe it's gone this long and rdale hasn't chimed in with his answer yet.

[Tornadocane]

Man, the author of "random thoughts" must be crushed that his original thread is probably gonna go down the drain...he had such high hopes..well, it lasted this long..i guess that says something about his charaecter..

[Al Bedo]

Long Live, Random Thoughts....

Slackers and workaholics ( graemlins/moon.gif ) alike are welcome!

Secretly, I'm making this thread strictly to give myself a reason to accelerate my post count. graemlins/eusa_shifty.gif

I actually found a way to be more efficient with what I do earlier in my shift, so I've got some free time laying around by 9-10 PM, and I figured this would be a good diversion.

[Almost Virga]

I'm in, but beware (in advance):

I'll make random look systematic.

I'm from the Northeast. I was driving in my car on my way to work, and I thought we got a new radio station playing good modern rock, until the ID came on saying it was from Kansas City! :eek: Heard of that happening before, but never experienced it.

[Tornadocane]

I was in Norfolk,Va one time..it was a clear,cold night...and, we were getting Boston radio stations...was wicked awesome..then I drove through a tunnel and it was gone...

[Al Bedo]

Tony it was all FM.

I was pulling in Des Moines, Kansas City, Sioux Falls, Sioux City. I did some dabbling around for it tonight and found stuff on tropospheric ducting and "e-skip," which is what I think I experienced. It made for an interesting commute in though.

[Tornadocane]

Man, I cant believe that Edge cashed in his "Money In the Bank" and beat the Undertaker that way tonight on Smackdown...sheesh...

[vortex]

AM was open last night too...1160 KSL in Salt Lake sounded like a local station....so did 880 WCBS in New York....Must be "SKY WAVE HEAVEN"...Go home tonight and scan the analog TV dial...TVDX is a lot of fun...or at least it was till DTV...

[Almost Virga]

AM radio? Cannot remember the last time I listened to it, but it was called WIFFIC Radio(WIFC), and I only did it because the rust bucket I was driving had ONLY AM radio.

[TT82]

We're pushed back to 7 PM because of golf. Wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have to tape weather plus at the normal time. I'd get to come in an hour later...

Watching some storms now, but nothing looking extremely severe here in central PA. Few T-Storm warnings but they have been out of the viewing area.

Storm Sentinel did pick up on a TVS for 1 frame, but that didn't pan out either...

I'M BORED!

[Stormtracker_Tony]

Got some good hailers down my way..Good number of Pulse Severe storms across GA and the Carolinas..Impressive rain totals showing up on the 88-D (upwards of 4 to 5 inches this afternoon in some areas)...I imagine these are significantly overdone due to hail contamination, but some of these have had quite heavy rains in the same areas for several hours...Wouldn't be surprised to get 3 to 4 inch confirmed rain totals in a few areas..lots of clouds around the first half of the day to limit heating (or else it could have been a really interesting day for hailers)..Sheer relatively weak so all of these have remained single to multicell..no sustained meso's

[TT82]

Playing around with storm sentinel now...

I have storm totals rainfall accumulation on. I am wondering how I figure out how much rain has fallen based on radar estimates. I have the colors starting out as a light blue, going to a darker blue to a light green and a darker green. I just don't know how to figure out rainfall estimates.

Any ideas?

[The Dutchman]

Are weekenders welcome here? I work in the evening...on weekends at least.

[Al Bedo]

Of course!

[Al Bedo]

There's almost nothing going on tonight...not the best way to start the week...I need to stay awake! tongue.gif

[Al Bedo]

Anyone out there suffering from seasonal allergies? I'm getting rocked.

[SevereClear]

Allergies are kicking my graemlins/moon.gif

I got allergy tested and my arm got so swollen that they called other nurses and doctors in to see my reactions! I felt like a lab freak.

Allergies suck over here too. With so much rain, Pollen is showing on the cars now! Yucky!

[Icecool]

I was bad in April, been good the last few days, but something came storming back today 'cause i'm stuffed up! not a happy camper today. going back to my best friend claritin tomorrow.

[Al Bedo]

I tried Tylenol Allergy today and it just made me feel worse...I felt fine...it was just a nuisance, but the medicine finished the job...I might switch to Claritin too.

[StWXud]

Weird as it is and may sound, I always had the worse allergies in the world growing up in Wichita Falls. Then in West Texas let up quite a bit, but now that I am in S. Dallas, I really have NO problems. I would have expected differently...

My Phillies are going to try and take the third in a row from the Brew-crew, and our phenom Hamels is perfect through 5 with a 5-0 lead.

[Al Bedo]

There goes the perfect game after 6.0. Oh well, he's my favorite young player to watch...moreso than Ryan Howard.

[Tornadocane]

It's the middle of May, and SPC has no risk of storms for the next 3 days.... wow, talk about quiet..

Is our severe season already over??

[StWXud]

Check yo pm's from earlier MOCR, that's what I wrote you so sad about...Is West Texas 'normal' season going to be non existant this year? I mean Mid May until Mid/late june is the normal...Usually 6 days of significant severe in June in the area...

[Al Bedo]

There's nothing worse than a cutoff low and temps in the 40s and 50s in mid to late May.

Anyone out there have any info on WGME in Maine? There's an opening there I know, and I know it's Sinclair, so the obvious caveats exist. But is there anything good to know about them? I know PWM is a great place. But I'm talking careerwise. Feel free to PM if you'd rather. Thanks! smile.gif

[TT82]

Another late news cuz of horses running around a track! To top things off, I just found out our Saturday show in a couple of weeks moves up an hour (earlier) cuz of the French Open! As if this split shift wasn't long enough already!

Who's with me?

TT

(PS... The Diner's Club Rules!)

[The Dutchman]

Speaking of diner...or dinner in my case...I'm starving but get to stay here for stupid pop-up storms, one that is even showing rotation despite our minimal shear. And they are only moving at 10 mph!!

Grrr...

[TT82]

Anything come of those, Dutch?

Also, did you get dinner? Isn't there a pizza place around?

TT

[The Dutchman]

Not really, just some small hail...

Yeah, I should have done pizza, but went with raiding the vending machine instead.

[The Dutchman]

Damn you hockey...yet another afternoon wasted for a cancelled show. Atleast I have my show ready for 10 now!

[TT82]

Canceled? We're still going on! (My station won't cancel anything until 7 PM (ET)).

Go figure!

I'm hungry now...

TTThat sucks...we compact the show if we get on between XX:00 and XX:07, get full time from XX:07-XX:17, and get the boot if programming runs past XX:17.

[TT82]

We cancel after 7 PM... I don't ever remember (in my 2 years here) having to compact a show. I remember we did at our sister station where I interned... never here.

No big deal. I got food before I died. LOL. Subway was calling me.

So Diner's Club people (or anyone for that matter), with summer upon us, anyone have any good music recommendations? I'm looking forward to new Interpol on July 10. And then late summer on 9/11, Hot Hot Heat releases the album "Happiness Ltd." Otherwise, I haven't seen anything else that I'm for sure going to buy. How about you?

[TT82]

Someone shares my taste...

Hot Hot Heat is good... (and weather related. *shakes head*)

I picked up The Almost and The Academy is... at Wally World the other day. Both pretty good CDs by the way. I also picked up the new Maroon 5. I like it!

I am liking almost anything on Sirius 21... ALT NATION. (Funny how when you're put on the spot to name music, you can't.)

TT

[SevereClear]

WHOA!!!

I just talked to a lady for 10 minutes about Jim Cantore's liveshot from MS! She went off on me about FL millionares, Mississippi, living in FL, Barry, etc.... You name it, she told me about it.

She demanded that I connect her to Jim Cantore? graemlins/face_banghead.gif :confused: graemlins/eusa_doh.gif

[Almost Virga]

Why is it that all the contrail sniffing sub-humans think that "nobody knows about it"; it is the most famous phantom I've ever come across.

I've never thought of humans as acting like sheep but they do. They say the same crap, they start by asking for information and then drift toward fighting.

I'd rather fight with the idiots that complain about a cut-in, even if it is brief. They are selfish, but they possess a mind. I'll take arrogance over a stupid arrogance any time.

There ... much better.

They have a free jukebox that you program with the songs you want and it'll play them. You have to pick 45 songs before it'll play them though. (or click quick pick if you're lazy).

Joining you fine folks this evening....

So what is up with that OK tornado watch? nothing at all has erupted yet...watch was issued at 4PM...it's now 6:30 with a setting sun and just a line of cu.

[TT82]

Had to revive the Diner's Club...

Talk about a boring night. I guess anything is more boring than Friday night. We got hit by lightning and took us offline. We came back up a minute later, but the weather computers went down. This was right at the end of the 6. I was shouting t-storm warnings to our chief sitting at the 4-shot at the desk. We didn't have commercials either because the back went down. Fun times.

Now, I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs for a few minutes before we go on.

TT

[The Dutchman]

Wow...that could add some stress to the whole situation. I've delt with rain fade stealing all of our data...but never a lightning strike.

As for here tonight...not too boring yet...we have had a good sized storm stalled out and hailing golfballs on one poor town for nearly an hour.

[TT82]

Ya. It was definitely stressful... but we live for this stuff...

We were watching storm reports on :LIVE and up popped a report from NE Ohio about 3 Miles S of Akron of 4.25" Hail!!!

Tonight, we're clear.

On a side note...
Our sports guy's last regular weekend shift is tonight. He's moving to Charlotte. We're losing a part of our weekend crew. Since I've been here, that's the third person we've lost from the weekends... one was an anchor and the other was a fill-in sports. Sucks to see him go, but good for him. I'll be here at least another year.

Making up for being behind the curve yesterday, I guess.

[The Dutchman]

It is not so now...but for most of the evening the majority of the warnings have been outside of the watches. What could have been a fun exciting evening has turned into a major bore around here...and there is not even anything good on TV.

[TT82]

Its over now, but I recommend Friday Night Lights. They moved it to Sundays for the summer.

I also like Brothers and Sisters, which should be coming on now, I think.

[wxtips]

I am sooo not into the NBA finals. can they hurry up and finish because I would like to go home and nurse a raging headache...Oh, stress-induced headaches, how I love thee.

[The Dutchman]

Ahhhhhhh!!! Went to get a haircut and eyebrow fix up today...my "normal" stylist is on vacation so I had the appointment with someone else.

They butchered my eyebrows!!! I obviously can't paste them back on...so now I am stuck with a ultra huge gap between them. I'm not really someone who cares much about how I look...but this is really embarrassing.

Just had to get it off my chest, not that it has really made me feel better about it though.

Have a good weekend everyone!

[Hipster Doofus]

Does anyone else's RPM have a hurricane crossing the Everglades tonight?

[Mayhem]

Someone share in my frustration!

The GAIM setup with the NWS is great (thanks RDale!), but I get the feeling that at the TV Stations, we are treated more like spotters to get reports, as opposed to colleagues.

Case in point... we had severe thunderstorms throughout the region today. At one point, we had a storm moving through our county bringing 3/4" hail and wind gusts near 70 mph. 4000 people lost power. I informed the NWS that there was a severe thunderstorm, and I was thanked for my input, but no warning was posted for that county. Warnings were posted for other counties in our area at the time, and I was busy doing cut-ins anyway. I still treated the one storm as if it were severe, but I am still rather upset.

Thanks for your input? Am I not as capable at determining what's going on outside the door as they are 60 miles away? It's not the first time I, our other members of our team, have been treated this way. I just wonder why.

Same office I'm sure ;) We relayed a good 20+ LSR's with nothing issued, and nothing documented. WTF

[nywx10]

We should do as we do and let the gov't boys do as they do.

I can recall more than a few times where we went on air with legitimate severe weather and our local office didn't respond UNTIL AFTER OUR cut-in.

Take solace in the fact that you did what you are supposed to do and you fulfilled your mission statement.

Similar vein, twice our Baron's indicate strong shear in a storm with a TVS and the local office didn't change their severe thunderstorm warning until we were almost done with our cut-in, if then.

A lot of times, the NWS is a lot like the way TV (management) is, they want YOUR loyalty but you get NOTHING in return for it.

I am usually the first person to come out and defend the NWS with things, but not in this instance. We had a storm that we (fous and I) submitted plenty of reports for....which gave NWS ample time to issue a SVR for it. Instead...the NEIGHBORING office issues a SVR for their county, but polygons it so that it covers HALF of the county next to it in the CWA where the warning should have been issued. So we proceeded to send them damage reports. Not a single mention in the LSR...not even a "Trees/wires Countywide!" I'll bet they don't want to verify that they messed up. This was a big mistake on their part, IMO. I even left a note in the IEM Chatroom saying "XXX, check your storm report inbox. I sent a bunch down." graemlins/face_banghead.gif

[Mayhem]

Yah... no damage reports for our county where the severe storm was (without the warning). Not even power lines down even though 4500 homes and businesses were without power for hours, even days for some.

Fous,

I'd be tempted to take you up on your signature's offer, but I just built a house last December.

How far a drive is it from where you currently are to Long Island? I'd love to be at least that close to my family.

I'm sure it beats a flight with a connection from here. :(

Found out today that Wx Central might be trying to strong arm our management into getting us a new wx system...ours is about 10 years old (RT System)...hanging on by duct tape and a new system is desparately needed.

I know many people, including myself, that set it to private - or friends only - just because you want to be comfortable with what you post or who posts on your profile.

Especially for you guys/girls in the media, private is probably the best way to go, unless you truly don't care who sees your profile.

I do it because I want to control who sees pics of my family, who I'm friends with and the like. Just more for the peace of mind, I guess.

I keep my profile private for the most part, but very few can see my pictures on MySpace or Facebook. I've heard some bad stories recently of people/viewers seeing pictures of things like houses on air or via the web and then driving to find them. It is kind of creepy.

[Al Bedo]

Yeah I recently limited the access of all my photos to just friends...I'd be concerned about stuff like that even if I wasn't on-air. The internet is a creepy place.

[CyclonesWxMan]

I'm on both, as well. I do much more on Facebook than I do on MySpace, though. I more or less just simply exist on the latter.

At least they are still young enough to where any computer time they do have is usually playing their Backyardigans video game or watching Star Wars-related stuff on You Tube - while I'm right there.

I worry for the day they're old enough to surf on their own. :eek:

:)Oh tv10...you're only helping the cause smile.gif Our firmness and resolve is only strengthened more ;)

[nywx10]

I'm only helping because I truly feel sorry for this thread. I am also a truly sympathetic person, too!

Really, this thread could be like the Yankees of '77 or this year perhaps and come from WAY BACK and over take RT and BC!

[Wx Chick]

Hey tv10, i dont think I told you happy bday this morning! So happy bday! Did you do a shot for every year?

[Wx Chick]

Wow, I think there are more posts in here tonight than any night so far.
Tv10, you and I can take much of the credit. We have to show these night owls everything!

[nywx10]

You're right Chick. These nightsiders are loafers, and slackers.

We morning folks slave away and can still post, too.

[nywx10]

[nywx10]

fous,

Thank you for the birthday wish...I'm not 99, but like a bottle of wine I am better with age.

My age is 23 with a chip on my shoulder, too.

Seriously, thank you for the wish. Yours is coming up in October and revenge is sweet! :)

And to think, I thought you were such a sweet, nice, innocent intern. I am so gullible!

Head over to Random Thoughts... there's a fight going on

[trans]

Alright so what is this dinner club thing about? I was going to read through the 10,000 post of the BC to see what they do.

[nywx10]

Nice try Tcane!

[Al Bedo]

Happy birthday, tv10! smile.gif graemlins/cheers2.gif graemlins/icon_pidu.gif graemlins/cheers2.gif graemlins/icon_pidu.gif

Thanks, fous...and 10. We'll be like the '77 Yankees if we must. Hopefully we're not like the '64 Phillies...with a 6.5 game lead in the division with 12 games left, lost 10 straight and lost the pennant. Oh well.

[nywx10]

Thanks Al!

Night all, after being up for 22.5 hours I think it is time I put this 23 year old body with a chip on the shoulder to bed and SLEEP!

[fairskies]

Is the night over...I don't remember anything. That's either a really good thing are horribly bad. graemlins/eusa_shifty.gif

...or the career of Gregg Jefferies. (that's ok, he's still my fav graemlins/iloveyou.gif )

[fairskies]

Okay Chick,
As you know...I am always fashionably late...or I don't show up at all, but it always keeps you guessing. Speaking of work...does spending more time in makeup count? Or what about my weekly hair appointments to cut the few remaining strains? It seems like I'm working all the time, but so little of my time is actually spent doing any weather. Anyway, I've taken your bait...now all you have to do is reel me in...but that's when the troubles will really start! :D

[Al Bedo]

*Yawn* What a boring night to be filling in!

[Al Bedo]

While filling in on a weekend evening for the first time in about a year, I neglected to notice a change in our A-block...with a wx tease at the end of the block. The shot went to a tv monitor with space for a chair and a person, while I was grabbing local temperatures 5 feet off camera....woops. graemlins/eusa_shifty.gif graemlins/eusa_doh.gif

C'mon...we gotta keep up! graemlins/eusa_shifty.gif

Hehe, for some reason, all of these "Thread Wars" reminds me of that SOuth Park Episode where they all gang up to win in World of Warcraft...

Al Bedo,

I think my inquiry to you may have been buried underneath all of the posts in the RT thread.

Do you happen to have any relatives from Long Island? I remember growing up with a soccer playing family in my hometown with the same last name.

(No, not Bedo - LOL)

:D

[MOCR]

So does this mean that The Diner's Club is neutral turf?

[Brooklyn]

For now. graemlins/eusa_shifty.gif

Unless Switzerland, er, Diner's Club starts going Kim Jong Il on us and threatens RT and BC with some crazy ass demands.

But for now, we'll continue on and send care packages, er, posts their way.

This is where we shall meet. Pass through the metal detector first.

[Al Bedo]

Brooklyn... I've been to LI once, but have no relatives there! Most of my relatives are from around Philly.

[nywx10]

Philly !

YUCK!

Spent 3.5 years there and it was the longest decade in my life!!!!!

(Kidding, just kidding).

(Kidding, just kidding).Hahahaha... Philly's my home turf...well almost...South Jersey, but we're connected. Then I went to school in Central/North Jersey and got the NYC influence, which is fun...but Philly's still better ;)

As for me - my family is all from Brooklyn after coming off the boat a few generations back. But, there is a very large, prominent family that lives/lived in this area and I often get asked if I'm related to such-and-such.

I say no, but it's nice that they can not only spell it correctly, but pronounce it correctly as well. When I lived in Lincoln, they butchered it both ways beyond belief! graemlins/eusa_doh.gif

[nywx10]

Brooklyn,

I have the same thing up where I live now.

Two contingents of families with the same last name- as mine- both claiming that I am a relative

One group is Portuguese descent, the other is Italian, which I am.

When my folks were live, I asked them if these "folks" up here were related, to which I got an emphatic "No."

But to this day they both still consider me a "family" member.

I think we should keep pace with the other threads from earlier today.

[fous]

Ok.. WTF is up with all of the name changes????

Geeze... You go away for a couple of days.... smile.gif

If your kids aren't driving you crazy then we (I) will. ;) graemlins/hug.gif
