Who Needs A Weatherman?

I am not a weather nut! When I go searching for weather information, I usually just want to know what the temperature is right now and what it will be throughout the day. Of course, during the winter I like to keep an eye on those approaching winter storms like they track on those full screen weather maps on The Weather Channel. Well, I found my own personal Internet weather map.

Weather Underground and Google Maps have teamed up to give us FullScreenWeather.com.

You get to select what you want on your map like the current temperature and and storm patterns. Along with the normal weather information, you get a local forecast – just type in your zip code. Check it out.

CopCAST Episode 163 – Goin’ Fishin

This has been a really tough week. I am traveling on business, Shell had a death in the family and Suz is still recovering from surgery. So now you know why we are late and a little light on content.

Needless to say, the Two Girls From Utah were not available this week but I hope to catch up with them next week.

An Atlantic City police officer died of an accidental gunshot wound. Angry parents catch speeding robbery suspect. Who would paint Andy and Opie? Why some folks really need to reconsider a life outside of the criminal ranks. New Zealand isn’t the only place with unfit cops.

In this week’s Tales From George’s Pocketbook, our audio segment from our brother officers Great Britain, George has a bad night. In the UK the New Year is the busiest time for anyone involved with any of the emergency services, all hell is sure to break loose and all of your worst experiences can be packed into a single night.

We continue our review of Dr. Michael Asken’s article entitled 10 psychological keys to keeping your exercise commitment…or building any other new habits.

Again, I am sorry for my tardiness and we will try to do better next week. Since the show is shorter you will have more time to work on your taxes. You have started your taxes haven’t you? Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week!

Caution! Bad Guys Take Aim At Twitter

Call them what you want – hackers, crackers, phishers or attackers – but they are using Twitter to steal user names and passwords.

The send a direct message that tell the receiver to link to something funny, a picture or a video of the recipient. For example the message may say “LOL, this is funny” or “LOL, is this you.”

Actually, the message contains a link to bzpharma.net. Once you click on the link, it takes you to a page where the bad guys can steal your user name and password.

CopCAST – Episode 162 – Dog Bites Cop

Two in a row! That’s right Michael is back for a second week in row and this is another great show.

This week, Suz is recovering from her operation so we couldn’t connect up with her but I did get hold of Shell. She said she has been carrying Suz’s water for years so it wasn’t a problem to do this week’s show by herself. And, as usual, even with only half of the dynamic duo, we just never know what the Two Girls From Utah have on their minds.

Felony snowball charges in Virginia. Our keynote story involves cops, dogs, doctors, nurses, fist fights, a criminal and a bad day at the office. The driveway pavers, Willie and the cops. It couldn’t? have waited until they got off the interstate? An expensive spare tire. Russian takes gardening seriously. UK cops ground remote control drone. And you thought your vest was important – wear your vest. A little highway entertainment in Chechnya. Finding Facebook through Google may be a problem for one Website.

This week we have another installment of the Tales From George’s Pocketbook, our audio segment from our brother officers Great Britain. You know, in the UK, contrary to what you might read in certain sensationalist newspapers, possession of firearms is still rare and offenses involving firearms even rarer. The police in the UK are unarmed so when there’s an incident involving firearms, they take things very seriously.

Don’t miss our continuing review from the Force Science News – Transmission 141. Maybe we can help you get back into the gym.

The weather is heating up and this week’s show is hot! So download the show, load up the iPod, put on the headphones and think summer! Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a good week!
