Haunted houses force guests to confront their greatest domestic fears including creepy cobwebs, poltergeists, and rooms filled with mattresses that have had their tags removed. Make a horror-filled house call with today's Groupon: for $25, you get two RIP fast passes to Realm of Terror in Round Lake Beach (up to a $50 value).
Rated the #1 Illinois Haunted House of 2010 by Haunted Illinois, Realm of Terror's spine-chilling scenes and terrifying tenants coax blood-curdling screams out of the heartiest of thrill-seekers. VIP "RIP" patrons skip straight to the head of the line to plunge directly into the haunt's bone-chilling depths, or linger a moment longer to steady nerves with sips of soda or beer in the VIP seating area of the Haunt Bar. From there, guests make their way through the twisted scenes and hidden horrors that line the house's pathways, ducking, crawling, and distracting demons with an enchanting jazz-tap routine, all in an attempt to make it through the house unscathed by ghostly hands. Filled with loud noise, fog, and strobe lighting, the house oozes eeriness, leaving guests with a feeling of uneasiness akin to watching Vincent Price play Jenga. Realm of Terror boasts a completely covered waiting area to shield shriekers-to-be from rain, though visitors should anticipate possibly getting wet once inside the special-effects-filled fright fest.
Children ages 10–13 must be accompanied by an adult to enter the house, which is geared toward mature audience 16 and older.
The Realm of Terror Haunted House
Designed for mature audiences, Realm of Terror's maze winds past zombies hovering over hospital patients and masked madmen adorned in scarlet-stained clothes. A creative team of filmmakers, makeup artists, and set designers collaborates on the gory, over-the-top attraction, which uses actors, strobe lighting, startlingly loud noises, and whispered Danzig lyrics to spook guests as they duck, climb, and crawl through. While waiting in line to enter the critically lauded haunted house, guests can sip beverages from an onsite bar, which is stocked with soft drinks and alcohol for visitors of drinking age.
84% of 145 customers recommend
"AWESOME haunted house! !!!!!"
"Very entertaining haunted house. One of the best I have been to. "
"Great decorations and make up on the actors!"

Originally written on Shirts With Random Triangles | Last updated 10/31/12
So why is USC and its once-golden boy starting quarterback Matt Barkley struggling this season? Reign of Troy's Josh Webb, taking part in a Pacific Takes round table, put the blame on a lack of discipline. "Additionally, Barkley has shown a tendency to look-in his receivers and this has allowed defensive backs to anticipate his throws. These aren't problems that Barkley should be having in his senior year and they are putting more pressure on the defense to come through in tight situations. All of this comes back around to discipline. Barkley should have the discipline to trust his instincts instead of hesitating on his reads. Similarly, Leonard Williams should have the discipline to refrain from committing multiple personal foul penalties in the game. If the Trojans don't develop some discipline before Saturday, Arizona is going to look like a walk in the park compared to the long night Oregon can put them through." So Matt Barkley has a disc...

Although they are still doing some upgrades it remains pretty clean
August 6, 2014
the place was not worth it. wifi is a joke. goes out all the time for long hours at a time.When we first arrived it was great. Its pretty obvious they downgraded from the service they had before. Profit before people. They put employees before guests most of the time. such a rip-off. a sign at the front counter says they count all linens and you will be charged. you are not allowed to use the side or back exits. they think someone will steal hotel property. room towels must remain in room at all times. They do have pool towels but they're not big and fluffy like the bath towels. BEST WESTERN IS NOT A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CARE-but they will happily take your money for any reason they deem feasible! While i stayed a main water pipe burst causing leakage in two other rooms. plumbing is probably from late 40's. they need to renew some of their inner workings. one last piece of info. THERE ARE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE- BACK TO THAT NO TRUST ISSUE. GIVE US YOUR MONEY, FOLLOW ALL OUR RULES INCLUDING OUR SOMEWHAT QUESTIONABLE STAFF!!!!!! By the way, the new night auditor is not a nice person. Dont ask her to make coffee or bother her in anyway. Her own personal agenda seems to take a front seat over the needs of paying guests. Thats why they work the graveyard shift, not very much of a people person accept with other staff. When a problem or concern is brought to there attention they either blame someone, make excuses or lie and say it will be taken care of. Sometimes they do something about it but on the whole the prospects are pretty dismal. The breakfast is nice when they get their supplies but if it runs out you gotta wait for the next order delivery. Once a week I think. We stayed there a few weeks. They do not have an elevator. Have added new breakfast room. THANKS FOR LISTENING ...

I really liked the 24 hour coffee, tea and hot cocoa in the lobby. The coffee was good and they provided cream and sugar. There was also a Keurig coffee maker in the room which was neat. The desk man was very sweet and helpful. The lamps had plug-ins for our phones and computers which was handy. The bed was very soft and comfortable and the air conditioner was great. We like a cold room to sleep in and it did the job well. For a two star hotel it was very nice. I am surprised it isn't a three star or more. If we come down that way again we will definitely be staying there. ...

pensiones in italy
Hello- there used to be wonderful places to stay called, i believe, "pensione" are they still available? thank you. F. Nociti
Hello- there used to be wonderful places to stay called, i believe, "pensione" are they still available? thank you. F. Nociti
Some pensione still use that name (especially if they are well known), but I think most now call themselves B&Bs; I haven't seen many "pensione" signs in a few years and they used to be everywhere. In Italy, it may have something to do with the number of rooms (5 or fewer can't be called a hotel). Another thing I've noticed recently is that many hotels offer breakfast included in the price.
Zoe is right. Many 'pensioni' now are called B&B, Hotel or Albergo or Soggiorno in addition to the old 'Pensione' name that some still have. Originally a Pensione was a guest house that provided lodging as well all meals or at least breakfast and dinner (mezza pensione). Today accommodations come under different names. The ENIT (Italian National Tourism Agency) website has the largest database with all hotels names registered in the country.
http://www.italia.it/en/useful-information/hotels.html You can search by town, hotel name, category (stars), price. It's a useful site to check in combination with other sites because for each hotel there is a 'FILE' that you can click and get the most detailed information on amenities, prices, contact numbers, website etc. All hotels in the country are registered with ENIT therefore they should appear in the database. Happy search!

Vanderbilt opens the 2014 season on the West Coast for the first time since 2012 when the Commodores began the year with a trip to Stanford. Since Head Coach Tim Corbin's arrival in 2003, the Dores have opened their season out west six times, including this weekend's series at Long Beach State. The trip to southern California is the first for Vandy since 2011 when the Commodores played three games against San Diego and one against San Diego State. The return to the Los Angeles area is the first since 2010 when Vandy took on UCLA, USC and Oklahoma State.

Australian Brabham passed away at his home on the Gold Coast on Monday morning.
He won the F1 world title in 1959 and 1960 with the Cooper team and in 1966 in a car he had manufactured himself, the Brabham BT19, as well as taking the constructors' crown in 1967.
Stewart - another three-time F1 title winner, with the first coming in 1969, Brabham's penultimate season before retiring - said: "It is a great loss to motorsport.
"Although he had been ill for some time, I saw him this year in Australia and we had a good chat.
"Jack was a fierce competitor and a modest and almost shy man, but a great three-time world champion who accomplished more than any other driver in the history of Grand Prix racing.
"Not only did he win the world championship three times, but he won driving his own car, which is a feat I suspect will never be matched.
"He was probably one of the most difficult men to overtake."

Peppermint Rice Krispies treats on a stick
December 5, 2013 · Posted under Christmas, DIY holiday gifts, holidays, party food & recipes, winter wonderland
It's no secret – food on a stick is always a huge hit! So I love these grab 'n go peppermint Rice Krispies treats on a stick by Shugary Sweets. They're made with candy cane flavored Jello pudding mix and mini peppermint marshmallows, then dipped into vanilla almond bark. Mmmmmm. They'd be wonderful party food or, when wrapped in individual bags and tied with ribbon, a thoughtful homemade holiday gift.
Get the recipe for peppermint Rice Krispies treats on a stick over at Shugary Sweets!

Middle Eastern carrier Gulf Air has halved its first-quarter losses under the restructuring programme which has cut its fleet to 26 jets.
The carrier attributes the improvement mainly to a 21% drop in expenses, and "better than planned" revenue performance - arising from higher sales in Bahrain - following changes to its network.
Over the first quarter Gulf Air's competitive environment changed with the collapse of Bahrain Air during early February.
But Gulf Air also says that it managed to reduce leasing charges and, through a lower headcount, cut staff expenditure.
It has shut loss-making routes across its network but says it is discussing more frequencies on specific routes which, it believes, are underserved.
The airline adds that it has been conducting "exhaustive negotiations" to return excess aircraft to lessors, and has reduced its fleet to an all-Airbus operation comprising 20 A320-family and six A330 jets.
Four A330s will be retrofitted with flat-bed seats, a refurbished economy cabin and upgraded in-flight entertainment systems by the end of summer 2014. These aircraft will be used mainly on the London and Bangkok routes.
"Tough decisions taken over the past three months by the [directors] have started to yield positive results, with the foundations firmly laid to put Gulf Air on a path towards long-term sustainability," says the carrier. It cautions that the remaining nine months of the year will be "challenging".

At first when we saw that on Ryan Seacrest's Twitter we were like, "Oh, because he's old, and the party was on the West Coast? That's funny!" But no: There were hats. Look at these crazy kids: Larry may be getting on in years, but damned if he doesn't still know how to party.

Gotta say this is down right one of the most amazing animations i ever watched. The animation is fluid. The characters designs are awesome and the music gets right to every scene i'd even go to saying this is the best animation on newgrounds because of how awesome it is.

Zombies and a goatboy with a shotgun? Oldschool throwback to Thriller? I love the fact it's giving a nod to older style cartoons that had music in them. Better still is the animation and characterization on the character's faces. The animation flows endlessly and the animation factor is perfect. Zero complaints, top quality right there!

Michael Schumacher: the biker
It's an old story: retired man gets into motorbikes. TG.com heads to Paul Ricard to see what the F1 legend is up to next…
Posted: 12 Dec 2012
In his first year Schumacher came within two seconds of the IDM's top riders. Michael believes there's a ten per cent difference in sensitivity to feedback, skill and difficulty between racing bikes at the top level versus racing cars. This ten per cent difference comes across in lap times. Take the time MotoGP star Valentino Rossi had a go in Ferrari's F1 car at Circuit de Catalunyain in 2008. He was just over two tenths down on the circuit's fastest lap time - set by Kimi Raikkonen. So Schumacher getting within ten per cent off the top riders times in IDM, he believes, was on pace for his ability.
"I was very much happy, I was able to feel the rear tyre, I was putting that to the limit and I felt comfortable. I had my knees down, the right body angle and that was a great sensation." And it wasn't just the visceral physical feeling that Michael enjoyed, there was a psychological thrill, too. "There are some similarities with race craft between cars and bikes. There's the approach mentally on how to maximize and develop yourself. You need some way of approach to look and analyse yourself in order to go forward." So bikes offered a new challenge for him.

Best Cardiac
ultrasound machines
Top of the line ultrasound machines offer tremendous prestige and profits to the manufacturers so there is a constant catching up as each brand makes regular updates to keep up with the technological advances of it's competitors in this segment. This has been especially true with the cardiac ultrasound segment. Philips has long held an advantage in cardiac and the Philips iE33 has held the top spot, being upgraded and improved for nearly a decade. However in the past few years GE has worked hard to catch up and it's Vivid E9 has matched the iE33 in nearly every area. The main difference between these two has been workflow and user interface, as both aim to keep existing users brand-loyal with a family look and feel. However, this year Philips has released it's new Epiq line and aims to replace the long standing leader with a completely reengineered top tier ultrasound system. As kpi gets the Epiq 7 & 5 systems and test them we will post the results here, but the our time with the Epiq 7 so far makes it look like a promising premium ultrasound system. Remember though that early versions of the iE33 were terribly unreliable so the Epiq may not get our full vote till it's been out a year and it's inicial issues have been resolved. Till then kpi considers the iE33 and the Vivid E9 as the best cardiac ultrasound machines in the high-end segment. Even if the iE33 is surpassed by the new Epiq 7, you can bet the falling price of late model iE33's will make them a terrific value, and may still keep them in first place for reasons of price to power value. KPI rates both the Philips iE33 and GE Vivid E9 as top in the "BEST" or top-of-the-line segment. (Updated October 2014)
The Mid-range ultrasound systems are the most commonly used in hospitals and imaging centers. These mid tier systems have less of the top of the line features, while keeping high image quality and a broad set of features thus lowering their purchase price to more affordable levels. Philips has kept an edge in the middle range with the HD11xe and HD15 which were tremendously popular and which just ended production during the summer of 2014. These will continue to be good values as late model refurbished systems for years to come. KPI picked the HD15 which as a used unit costs only a little more than the HD11xe but which costs tens of thousands more new and provides features and image quality nearly at the iE33 level, including the use of the single crystal "Purewave" probes. The GE Vivid 7 has not been updated to as high a level as the HD15, but it's lower price and solid reliability still make it a strong choice, especially to those who prefer the GE workflow to Philips. The HD15 offers better shared service imaging and features for those who need a unit to perform both cardiac and OB/GYN functions whereas the Vivid 7 follows GE's more specialized philosophy and cannot provide OB features or probes. If this is a concern, the GE Logiq S8 offers a better match to the HD15. KPI considers both the Philips HD15 and the GE Vivid 7 as currently offering the best power and features for cardiac ultrasound applications in the "BETTER" mid-range segment.
Entry level ultrasound machines emphasize economy to lower costs to doctors on a budget or just starting a private practice. What is surprising is how many features that used to be reserved for high-end machines have filtered down to even premium entry level ultrasound systems. Don't underestimate lower tier ultrasound machines if they are produced by high quality brands! The GE Logiq P5 is a good example. As a premium economy system the Logiq P5 has options for 4D, elastography and of course CW doppler and ECG. In this form the shared service Logiq P5 provides very good image quality with a wide range of potential applications. The Philips HD7xe from Philips offers similar cardiac image quality but without as broad applications as elastography and 4D are not optional. Both as new systems or 1-4 years old, these two entry level ultrasound systems offer cardiac performance approaching mid-range power. In the collective opinion of the experts at kpi both the GE Logiq P5 with the cardiac option and the Philips HD7xe offer the best price to performance ratio in the"GOOD" entry-level segment.
Portable ultrasound has come a long way from the days when all portable cardiac ultrasound machines (the few there were, like the Acuson Cypress) were entry level. Now there are clearly top-of-the-line, and mid-range as well as economy systems. Portable cardiac ultrasound is not only useful in emergency situations, but mobile scanning, as well as in small offices and for doctors that must travel from clinic to clinic. The most advanced portable cardiac ultrasound system currently on the market is the Philips CX50 which offers GI and 2D OB/GYN applications as well as it's unique X7-2t 4D TEE probe which is a uniquely high-end option. The GE Vivid-i offers solid mid-level performance and is well known and well respected with 2D TEE and pediatric probe options. The Vivid-i, as is true with all the Vivid line from GE does not support OB/GYN probes or applications but is a cardio vascular specialist with general imaging capabilities. The Samsung Medison MySono U6 is a great value as a 1-3 year old system as it offers imaging quality comparable (and sometime superior) to the more expensive GE Vivid-i, but at a much lower, entry-level costs but without as many probe options as the Vivid-i. The U6 has no TEE or pediatric cardiac options, but does support 4D OB/GYN scanning that makes it the most versatile of these 3 portable cardiac ultrasound systems. KPI recommends all three portables. Choose the one that is best for you depending upon your budget and needs for applications other than cardiac.

Actually, we did not camp here. We were heading for Chattahoochee for an overnight stop and saw the web site for this place. Looked at RV Park Reviews and saw some pretty good reviews but didn't notice how old they were (2009). We pulled in and the place looked totally run down and half abandoned. There was a piece of paper on the office door that said there were no campground hosts and to just find a site and call a phone number at City Hall and someone would be around to collect your money. I was looking for a place with a laundry, which their web site said they had but couldn't find anything that looked like one. I walked up to the clubhouse and the boards of the porch were so rotten I thought I might fall through. We turned around and left. Don't know if the hookups worked or the Wi-Fi that was advertised. - Barb T

This is a very nice, well kept campground. Its not a five star place and they take everything in stride around here. Shopping was close in town but limited. However Wal-Mart was just 20 miles away. The fishing was great, and my grand kids loved the big meadow to romp with the dog in playing fetch. The club house is used for meetings and gatherings only and there is a day care on site for kids during week days. The swimming pool was closed and filled in but the river and a clear water spring were within walking distance and fun to swim in. You do have to watch for the gators at the river by the way, but the springs are too cold for the gators and its is recommended. We loved this place and will be back many times again. This is one place snowbirds who don't want all the bells and whistles should check out first. There is no on-site manager, but they do come around on a twice daily basis to collect or take care of any problems and the police patrol it frequently so no crime occurs here. I would rate this place four stars out of five only because it has no Wi-Fi or pool. Great place for families also as there is lots of room and a city park attached with activities, playground, fishing, marina, and more. - oldfoxbob

We stayed here using Passport America. We stayed in the lower area near the pond. The pulling in was a bit dicey but worked out. We loved the privacy and peace. It is way off the beaten path but worth it. They have a dump station. - highwayrunners

This is a very nice campground just about a mile off I-10. All sites are shaded and plenty of room between sites. The manager came out to greet us when we pulled up which was a nice touch. We registered and then he took us to our site.
It was quiet and relaxing. - Larry & Judy

This park is closed. I heard that it was foreclosed and now bank owned. - Phaeton
Jun 2014 - $35.00
It's not a destination camp-ground but very convenient and quit for an interim stop. We've used it for the past 10 years when we travel west on I-10. A walk around the grounds, pizza and acceptable internet service are all that's required for an enjoyable overnight. Check out the long abandoned Jai alai facility across the way. It's an interesting story. - richb

Jason Momoa's name has long been circling Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but never in an official capacity and while today's report from HitFix isn't an official confirmation, there seems to be enough confidence behind it to take it seriously.
The report insists Momoa will have a cameo appearance in Batman v. Superman as Aquaman, a character that will reportedly be featured more in future films such as the rumored May 2017 release of the Untitled Justice League Movie, though a stand-alone Aquaman film was not one of the films mentioned in a recent report announcing the slate of DC Comics films Warner Bros. is expected to announce shortly.
As for this Aquaman business, it sounds like the take on the character will be a more modern one, featuring the brooding king of Atlantis and he's apparently not all that happy about the World Engine from Man of Steel and what it did to the Indian Ocean. In fact, it seems that's what the film will be about, a story of consequences for Superman as a result of the destruction in the film's final act with Batman coming in to say, "Shame on you Superman." Then again, it seemed to me, with the final scene in the film, that the world had moved on from that incident. Oh well, the film doesn't hit theaters until May 6, 2016 so it's hardly worth thinking about at the moment.
Momoa joins Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane returning from Man of Steel, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred and Holly Hunter in a role newly created for the film.

High Hurdles has the best title, that I have seen so far. Dj Randall has a dream and wants to follow no matter what stands in her way. She has no money and no horse to even get into showjumping, however that is not the worst part. He mother will not support her daughter or her dream. DJ soon finds a way to try her dream. She begins working at The academy, run by a former French National Equestrian Team member. When DJ realizes that no one will support her dream, she turns her heart and prays to the one that will always be there, God.
I love reading about horses, as I have loved horses since I first saw them. Despite the main character being only 12 years of age, it shows that no matter what if you have a dream, follow it no matter what others think. If it is meant to be then yourself along with our heavenly father will make it so. I love following Dj as she jumps hurdles to finally get what she wants. A mother that blames her for everything, her mother's current boyfriend is even worse. Though her grandparents are very supportive of the young girl. Later her birth father shows up and actually treats DJ as the most precious thing that there is, his daughter.
I love this story as, I felt God's presence, as well as the horses. I have already re-read this book more then once. If you love horse's or God.....read it. It is excellent.

Jefferson's Secrets: Death and Desire at Monticelloby Andrew Burstein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, leaving behind a series of mysteries that captured the imaginations of historical investigators-an interest rekindled by the recent revelation that he fathered a child by Sally Hemmings, a woman he legally owned-yet there is still surprisingly little known about him as a man. In Jefferson's Secrets Andrew Burstein focuses on Jefferson's last days to create an emotionally powerful portrait of the uncensored private citizen who was also a giant of a man. Drawing on sources previous biographers have glossed over or missed entirely, Burstein uncovers, first and foremost, how Jefferson confronted his own mortality; and in doing so, he reveals how he viewed his sexual choices. Delving into Jefferson's soul, Burstein lays bare the president's thoughts about his own legacy, his predictions for American democracy, and his feelings regarding women and religion. The result is a moving and surprising work of history that sets a new standard, post-DNA, for the next generation's reassessment of the most evocative and provocative of this country's founders.
"Perhaps more than any other founding father, the author of the Declaration of Independence has been judged harshly by posterity for being a slaveholder and having a slave concubine. How did Jefferson assess himself at his life's end? Drawing on Jefferson's postpresidential papers, which Burstein says have been little studied, the University of Tulsa history professor (The Passion of Andrew Jackson, etc.) sheds new light on our most enigmatic and interesting founding father from a unique perspective. He presents a vivid portrait of Thomas Jefferson as an old man looking back on life, preparing for death and dwelling on both his successes and his sins.During Jefferson's dotage, as his finances collapsed around him, the old patriot had to confront not only the results of his lifelong fiscal excesses but also the fruits of other excesses. In his last years, Jefferson 'permitted' two of his four children by the black slave Sally Hemings — both of whom could pass for white — to 'run away.' In his will he freed the remaining two, Madison and Eston Hemings, while at the same time making a request (granted) that the Virginia legislature permit them to remain in the state after emancipation — something not normally done. Jefferson had once written that '[t]he only exact testimony of a man is his actions.' In his final years, he tangled with the philosophical and religious implications of his life as a holder of slaves and master of a slave concubine. In some moods, Jefferson hoped for God and an afterlife. In others, perhaps dreading what the Almighty might have to say to him, he described human existence as a brief space 'between two darknesses.'This splendid book shows old Jefferson standing at the precipice, taking stock and perhaps judging himself more harshly than any God might. This is a deeply moving portrait of the aged Jefferson's body, mind and spirit that takes the measure, as Burstein says, of the full range of the founder's imagination. Illus. not seen by PW. Agent, Geri Thoma. (Feb.) hope to exhausted strivers." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
In this moving and intimate look at the final days of our most enigmatic president, Andrew Burstein sheds new light on what Thomas Jefferson actually thought about sexuality, race, gender, and politics.
Delving into Jefferson's soul, Burstein lays bare the president's thoughts about his own legacy, his predictions for American democracy, and his feelings regarding women and religion.

Had a great experience with the company. Was happy before the RV was picked up. The people you speak to are so friendly and helpful. They dropped the RV off for me and it was beautiful and in excellent condition. So clean it didn't look like it had ever been used. Luxurious RV Rentals is the only company I will ever rent from.

Diddy had been working on developing a TV network for years. When he was almost shut out of performing on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" around the release of a 2010 album, the rapper-producer realized he needed to launch the network sooner rather than later.
"I had to beg to be on ... 'Dancing With the Stars' and it was something to me that wasn't right about that," he said.
Diddy believed there weren't enough outlets for musicians on TV - and that moment drove home the point.
He's launching Revolt TV in the fall.
"There's ESPN for sports, CNN, Fox News for news and the AP. There should be a brand for music, and now we have that brand that's going to focus on music and not reality shows," he said. "There's been a gaping hole once some of the other channels stopped having focus on music and focused more on reality, and it left a gaping hole for artists and fans of not having a place to go."
The 43-year-old entrepreneur announced last week that Revolt TV had reached a deal to have his network distributed on Time Warner Cable. Comcast Corp. announced a deal with Diddy's network last year.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has produced shows like "Making the Band" for MTV, and he's hoping to bring the flavor of what's buzzing on the Internet - viral videos, behind-the-scene music moments and raw interviews - to TV sets. He's "embracing" what's happening online and plans to tap into that audience.
"We want to have partnerships with YouTube and we want to have partnerships with Facebook and Instagram and Spotify and Beats (by Dre)," he said. "We're all in this together."
MTV, which has shifted to reality TV, occasionally plays music videos, and there are channels like MTV Hits and VH1 Soul that show videos throughout the day. Diddy said Revolt TV will proudly play music videos, but "this is not an MTV 2 (or) 3.0."
"I wanted my MTV and so when I missed it, I didn't want to complain about it, I wanted to do something about it," he said. "They inspired me and helped with the blueprint."
Diddy, whose brand includes movies, fragrances, fashion lines and endorsements, said he's making sure Revolt TV isn't Diddy TV. He said Oprah Winfrey, who launched her OWN network in 2011, warned him of the hardships that would come with owning a network.
"One of the things I did learn from Oprah is that this is a marathon, not a sprint," he said.

SHALLOTTE—The Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association opted not to choose Shallotte as the site of its official spring rally, but the owner of the town's new Harley dealership has decided to have his own celebration during Bike Week.
Last week, the association announced it was moving its Spring Beach Rally, set for May 10-17, from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to New Bern.
Some thoughts about the basketball and wrestling seasons:
Most entertaining team: A young North Brunswick girls' basketball team showed it has the talent to be dominating, but lack of consistency for what essentially was a junior varsity was the key factor in many of its losses. The Scorpions reached the second round of state playoffs. They should be fun to watch next season.
After the West Brunswick High School softball team improved to 3-0 by beating South Columbus 14-4 Monday afternoon, West coach Joe Noble succinctly assessed his team:
"Right now, when you're hitting the ball the way we are and scoring as many runs as we're scoring—and Carly (White) is pitching the way she is pitching—it's kind of hard to lose."
The West Brunswick baseball team played county rivals North Brunswick and South Brunswick as it opened the 2009 high school baseball season.
West lost 5-2 to North on March 4 but on Friday West beat South 9-2.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—West scored its first two runs in the top of the second inning. Nick Napolitano reached base on an error and Blain Turner singled. After a successful double steal, an overthrow and a single by Brock Holmes, West led 2-0.
Jeremy King's three-run home run in the fifth inning drove in the winning runs in BCC's 10-8 victory Saturday against Harford Community College in the first game of a weekend series.
Harford, which is in Bel Air, Md., entered the game 3-1. BCC improved to 9-4.
BCC trailed 8-7 in the bottom fifth but Drew Alford led off with walk and, with one out, T.J. Overman walked. King, who had struck out of his previous three at-bats, then homered.
Top-seeded Brunswick Community College men's basketball team lost 79-71 to No. 5 seed Cape Fear in a semifinal Friday of the Region X championship tournament.
BCC, the regular-season champion playing its second game in its new gym, finishes the season 24-7.
Cape Fear (20-12) beat No. 3 seed Clinton Junior College in the title game and advances to the National Junior College Athletic Association national basketball tournament. The five-day tourney will be played March 17-21 at the Hutchinson Sports Arena in Kansas.
The South Brunswick boys' basketball season ended March 5 in a 53-46 loss to Pittsboro Northwood in a Class AA Eastern Regional semifinal at Minges Coliseum on the ECU campus.
South finishes the season 24-6.
Northwood went on to win the regional, crushing East Duplin 59-21. East Duplin had beaten North Brunswick in the second round.
