Product: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5
Shade I bought: "Blackest Black"
Other shades it comes in: Black and Blackened Brown
Where to buy: Many drugstores should have it now
Price: Around $7-8 (varies)
Would I buy again? Yes
I went to Wal-Mart the other day to re-stock on my beloved Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner but to my surprise they didn't have the one I usually get (the triangular shaped bottle) but was instead replaced with their new Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner Pen! I am impartial to eyeliner pens just because they seem to dry out faster than the ones in the pots, even when stored upside down or horizontally, they don't last as long as the ones that have pots. However, what I DO love about them is how easy it is to create a nice line or wing with the precise brush as well how it's easy to tote around for any touch ups.
As much as I LOVE my MAC Fluidline in "Blacktrack", sometimes it's hard to get the perfect wing even with the most precise eyeliner brush (the little line of eyeliner some of you 'wing' out at the outer corner of your eye). So sometimes I like to apply my fluidline then use the Revlon liquid eyeliner for the wing portion of my eyeliner, or I will use it OVER my fluidline to create the darkest line.
I have NOT personally tried MAC's Penultimate Eyeliner, I have played with it in the store, and I can honestly say that the Revlon Eyeliner Pen seems JUST AS good, it stays on for me even at the end of the day, doesn't flake or rub off for me at all, and their "Blackest Black" is a nice true jet black and offers an intensified black like the Penultimate Eyeliner. Not to mention the Penultimate Eyeliner is $16.50, whereas the Revlon Eyeliner is around $7-8.
Anyway, here is my review on it!
- The pen form is easy to tote around and allows for easier application to line the eyes, no mess or globs of liquid eyeliner all over the place
- Colorstay technology allows wear for up to 16 hours! And it totally does for me, I can wear this all day and it still looks just as fresh!
- The fine-tapered felt tip gives a nice soft thin or thick line, as well as giving me better control to be able to line the eyes smoothly and evenly, dispenses the right amount of product to eliminate mistakes!
- You can control the intensity of the color
- Doesn't flake on me, or fade, no weird smell
- None, other than because it's in pen form it may dry out faster than the traditional liquid eyeliner (I will let y'all know!)
You might like this if: You have trouble lining your eyes, have shaky hands, or want an eyeliner that is easy and fast.
Overall: I am an avid fan of Revlon, especially their Colorstay Liquid Eyeliners and even their Colorstay Eye Pencils. I use their lipsticks and used to use their eyeshadows and concealers before I got bit by the MAC bug, (because MAC gives me more product for my money for certain things). It was no surprise that this eyeliner performed remarkably well because it's just as awesome as their original and to me it's just as great as MAC's Penultimate Eyeliner Pen, and cheaper! I definitely recommend this if you are looking for a good eyeliner that lasts and gives a nice bold black, or especially for those who are new to lining the eyes or have a hard time lining the eyes because the pen forms allows you to just concentrate on applying it just right and dispenses the right amount of product.

This is great news. I'm in the market for a new black eyeliner right now, and I was thinking of switching to something more precise and intense than my usual kohl pencil. I need it in pen form too, because it goes in my work purse and goes everywhere with me. I think I just found my next "favourite" liner :)

for these pencil liners. not sure if you know, its better to store them horizontally than vertically. It won't dry up as fast this way.

I have this pen. It's good, but not great. Color lasts, but is not what I expected from ColorStay.
I misplaced my Revlon pen for a while some time ago, and needed a replacement. Not wanting to spend another 8 dollars, I checked out Jordana's liners at Walgreens. They had a pen that looked similar, and at 1.99 I could not pass it up.
Eventually I found my Revlon pen and wanted to compare. Well, the packaging is exactly the same. I swatched again and again, and the color/pigmentation/lasting power is the same.
They are both made in Italy. So it's safe to say that they truly are one and the same. Except Jordana's is 1.99 vs 8 bucks for Revlon.
Save $$, as an owner of both I PROMISE you they are the exact same thing!!!

Hi JSan! Thanks for the tip, the Revlon one I think is just easily accessible, not every state has a Walgreens, let alone sells Jordana, I live in Cali and some of their products are hard to find in certain areas; but Revlon is pretty much easily available at many drugstores.

Vanessa, thank you so much for the review! i'm looking for the blackest black eyeliner I can find...and that won't smudge on me..I have oily lids and even waterproof eyeliners don't stay put..I hope this is available here in our country so that I can try..thanx again! :)

Thanks for another great review. I will go get one. I am horrible at lining my eyes and this seems like it might help. I had one a loong time ago and never really used it. Know that I am a makeup junkie when I tried to use it it was dry so I need a new one.

great review! just bought this today, unsure about it, because i myself have a fear of going blind. the last time i used liquid eyeliner it leaked into my eyes and i couldn't see for a bit, it was really scary. but this sort of comes out as a marker as apposed to coming out as liquid!

John Ashmen's interview in The New Evangelicals
Hardly a day goes by when religion is not in the news, often associated with theocracy, oppression and terrorism. In this book, Marcia Pally rebuts superficial view by offering the this first in-depth look at "new evangelicals"—those who have left the Religious Right for a broadened focus on economic justice, environmental care, and democracy. The far reaching effects of this shift—in the US and abroad—ask us to reconsider religious stereotypes and refine our political thinking.
The New
Evangelicals: Expanding the Vision of the Common Good (2011, Eerdmans Publishing)
by Marcia Pally
John Ashmen, President, Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, Colorado Springs, Colorado, home to many organizations of the Religious Right.
I live in Colorado Springs, a city of 400,000 people and headquarters for about 120 national and international Christian organizations. Because it has so many ministries, some people refer to the place as the Evangelical Capital of North America. How they all ended up here is an interesting story, but I see the mass gathering as more of an opportunity for synergy than a cause for celebration.
Focus on the Family is probably the most widely known Christian organization in The Springs, as we call it. Focus has a unique niche in the evangelical community, but the agenda of Focus is not necessarily the agenda of the other ministries in town. Quite often I'm asked if my organization vigorously opposes abortion and gay rights the same way Focus does.
Unfortunately, in the Christian parade, abortion and gay rights have become the two sides of a big bass drum that is beaten so loudly nobody can hear the sweet strands of the gospel. We need to back off on that heavy pounding if we want people on the sidewalks to hear the redeeming melody that is Jesus.
Regarding the paradigm shifts in Christian organizations--denominations, parachurch organizations, and megachurch movements have all had their turns in the driver's seat of global ministry. Today, ministry is cause driven. And it is youth-led and technology-enhanced. This paradigm shift is befuddling many of the long-standing, heavily structured religious institutions.
What I mean is that you rarely hear people say they are called to foreign missions; you hear them say that they are about AIDS orphans or clean water. And they don't wait to jump through all of the hoops that the big sending agencies require. They look online to see who's doing what, Tweet or text their desire to engage, and pull up Priceline to get a cheap ticket to the action.
Another wrinkle in the blanket of Christianity these days that some people can't seem to iron out is evangelism methodology. Asbury Seminar Professor George Hunter does a great job of contrasting the traditional "Roman style" with the unconventional "Celtic style" in his book, The Celtic Way of Evangelism: How Christianity Can Reach the West…Again. The Roman style—characterized by presentation, decision, and fellowship—that fit so well with the modern era does not seem to be the preferred method of postmoderns I meet. The Celtic style—characterized by fellowship, worship, and commitment—is seen as not only a normal progression for a 21st-century mind, but something that Jesus himself embraced with His disciples.
One of the things that makes the Celtic style so compatible with our current culture is that a basic Bible knowledge that most people had thirty years ago—like knowing some of the Ten Commandments, who Jesus was, what the Apostle Paul did—is pretty much non-existent today. Certainly people can come to terms with the claims of Jesus and commit to following him after hearing a simple presentation; it happens all the time. But most folks today need to journey with the gospel for a while—to see how it plays out in the life of someone they trust. The Celtic style has hospitality written all over it: it's about joining in, observing and even participating in worship, asking questions, making mistakes, really finding out what it means to follow Jesus.
When you think about it, Jesus never asked his disciples to commit to something or sign on a dotted line before he pulled them into his circle. He simply said, "Follow me." He meant live with me, listen to my words, watch me, try doing what I do. And when you really get my message, my spirit will make it clear to you…and you'll change the world.
Never before has there been a generation more passionate about changing their world for the better. Today's young, active followers of Jesus have a deep desire to do something significant and lasting; they simply need to have specific direction and ongoing encouragement.
The things taking a hit because of this exciting fervor are the more traditional church activities. For example, I recently asked a friend whose kids have always attended a well-known Christian camp if his youngest daughter was registering for the next session. He told me, "I can't get her to go. She says, 'Dad, I can't sun myself on the beach and play games and eat all of that food when there are kids my age in Haiti who still don't have roofs over their heads.' And she's 12 years old!"
My friend admits that his daughter is probably getting her cues from a 19-year-old down the street, but she still does a great job championing the message: For some, a Christian camp is no longer a summer option; it's a moral choice.
At AGRM, we recognize the contagious passion young people have to make a difference in their world. They come from dissimilar backgrounds but collectively feel spiritually mandated social responsibility regarding "the least of these" as described in Matthew 25. We believe their perspectives are valid, and that their energy, wedded with the wisdom of those more experienced, could start a revolution of compassion that would fully awaken the church to action in this critical area of personal conviction.
That's why we have the vision statement we do: "AGRM will foster and feed a movement of diverse, energetic disciples who will see the practice of hospitality to the destitute as both a catalyst for life transformation in Jesus and a fundamental expression of their Christian faith, thus propelling the church into the lead role in society's quest to alleviate homelessness."
The Association of Gospel Rescue Missions has its North American roots in post-Civil War New York City soil. By the time the 20th century rolled around, an informal federation of people helping the destitute and addicted was forged. In 1913, it became formalized as the International Union of Gospel Missions.
Gospel rescue missions have a long history of providing lifelines for those drowning in the waves of adversity and the undertow of addiction. For more than a century, they have been keeping watch on the waterfront of despair, and countless thousands of men, women, and children have been saved in every sense of the word.
Rescue mission used to be about that long line of men winding around the block looking for "three hots and a cot." They were men—almost always—who were functional at one time, but because of an addiction to drugs or, more often, alcohol, they became dysfunctional. They came to the rescue mission and found redemption in Jesus that led to a reorientation for life. And then with rehabilitation through the mission's programs, many worked their way back to functionality.
Over the years, rescue missions have also served unemployed veterans, abused runaways, mentally unstable outcasts, the desperately poor, and refugees—basically, all people to whom Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." And now, with the staggering increase in homelessness and so many close to homelessness, rescue missions are constantly busy and needed more than ever before. The single women with children who will be knocking on the door of a rescue mission tonight represent the fastest growing segment of the population seeking services.
AGRM is still North America's oldest and largest network of independent crisis shelters, and rehabilitation centers offering radial hospitality in the name of Jesus. Currently in AGRM, we have about 275 member missions, representing most of the first- and second-tier cities on the continent. A few of our members are small start-up works in third-tier cities or rural areas that offer just a day shelter and meals, but most are complex, multifaceted operations with short-and long-term addiction recovery programs, job training, transitional housing, and more. On the high end, a mission could have an annual operating budget of $30,000,000 or more. And interestingly, if AGRM's member missions were one organization, over the past dozen years, the collective annual donations would consistently place it in the top ten charities in America.
AGRM's missions employ the shelter concept, which isn't real popular right now, particularly in Washington. The current push is "housing first." Proponents want to forget the continuum of care. They believe that if you just give someone a house, all of his or her issues will eventually get worked out. I believe that if you put a homeless person in a house you get just that: a homeless person in a house. If you don't address the reason people are homeless—which in many cases, not all, revolve around addictions, limited education and job skills, mental stability—you end up spending major taxpayer dollars with embarrassing results. One of our member mission directors told me about a man who recently graduated from his addiction recovery program. The man use to have a homeless voucher obtained with HUD [US Department of Housing and Urban Development] funding. The mission director asked him how he lost his free housing. He answered, "Well, when you're using crack and you invite your drug dealer to live with you, that's kinda what happens."
There are no required programs or strings attached to [HUD] homeless vouchers, and authorities have strict limitations regarding checking up on people. It doesn't take a Ph.D. to figure out that this plan has some serious problems.
Regarding the challenges of changing AGRM--as you know, with a hundred-year-old organization you have a hundred years of tradition, which isn't all bad, but also a hundred years of structure, which isn't all good. Structure upon structure tends to make you rigid and rickety. The AGRM board hired me—the first person to lead the association who had never led a rescue mission—to set a course for future relevance in a sea of complicated societal change.
The image that a lot of people have of a rescue mission is a hundred hung-over men slouching in a chapel while a heavy-handed preacher describes in detail God's terrible wrath for the wayward. The meatloaf is cooking in the next room—and everybody can smell it—but nobody gets any until after the altar call. Let's be honest, if someone is hungry and you suggest that they turn to Jesus as part of a prelude to supper, they will gladly turn to Jesus or do jumping jacks or renounce the Red Sox, as long as it means meatloaf for the moment.
While that image unfortunately still lingers in some minds, a grace-based model is what's emerging in today's rescue missions in city after city. The life-changing gospel is still being imparted to the guests, but to guests who have just showered and are wearing fresh, warm clothes and have a full stomach. The image being projected is no longer "repent and then come get something to eat," even though that was never actually the case. Instead it's "have something to eat because the God who has given me a deep love for you wants you to be not only physically renewed but also spiritually renewed through his Son, Jesus." In short, it's about choosing to play the abundant life card instead of the hell card.
At AGRM we are helping missions rethink quality. For years, organizations that have worked with the poor and have no fees for services—they depend entirely on donations—have found it easy to justify meager facilities. I believe that pious shoddy is still shoddy. Quality is critical. We are putting heavy emphasis into our revised certification program that emphasizes regulatory conformity, cleanliness, best practices, and the like. And it's starting to pay off. I can take you to rescue missions where the lobby looks like a relative's very inviting living room, where the accommodations are like an Ivy League college dorm, and where you'll likely ask for the recipe for dinner's main course.
Underlying this is a new emphasis on hospitality. I've already alluded to this several times. The New Testament church was spread through the ministry of hospitality, and it is something that today's church needs to reclaim. I'm not talking about entertaining, where you get the carpets shampooed and the furniture dusted and invite somebody from church over for dinner. Entertaining is inviting people into you house. Hospitality is inviting people into your life, and letting them know that no "room" is off limits—what's yours is theirs. It is only an understanding and practice of radical Christian hospitality that will eventually move the church back to its intended role—a role that will influence the poor, ease the government's burden, and represent the heart of Jesus.

Sorry I was absent this weekend, that's because I attended the IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) at the Pasadena Convention Center. The show was both days, Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22. I went with family- Erica and Tatiana, I also have to upload a video on my review of the show.
They showcased a lot of special FX/movie makeup, and it was really fun to see it from start to finish (as we were there early). There were a lot of people there from different aspects of the makeup and Hollywood industry, cinematic prosthetics, and even high fashion hair and makeup. They brought in corpse dummies from popular movies and shows such as CSI that looked INCREDIBLY REAL! They even had sessions on different areas of makeup such as eyebrow threading, specialFX, the movie Hellboy makeup, trends, and tons of other stuff!
There were many well-known as well as up and coming companies who exhibited, such as: MAC PRO, Kryolan, Graftobian, Cinema Secrets, Makeup Forever, Mehron, Naked Cosmetics, Senna Cosmetics, and much much more! MAC PRO was giving out MAC PRO membership to anyone WITHOUT the required documents as a show special AND they gave you a temporary one to use at the show, so my girlfriends got their membership on! Yup! You heard right, that means even if you NEVER touched a makeup product in your life, you were eligible for MAC Pro membership at the show. Many of the booths were selling their own products at a show special price as well as giving out samples left and right! They were selling makeup brushes of all kinds, and I mean ALL kinds, even brushes you probably never knew existed at $2 EACH! You know I had to nab a few! I also bought an 10-PAN Blush Palette from Auraline Cosmetics for ONLY $20 and Kryolan's "Invisible Matte" cream to prevent shine for only $6! It's $50+ in other places and the colors are gorgeous! (I will swatch them later). Tatiana bought a brush apron for only $15! And Erica enjoyed an airbrush session with Luminess.
We also got some FREE makeup from Senna Cosmetics.com, and they are so pigmented and really pretty for summer!
I also saw the gorgeous Elessa (a.k.a. Pursebuzz) and Koren (Enkore on YouTube). She is just so sweet and beautiful in person like she is in her YouTube videos! It was really nice meeting them at such a phenomenal show. It was by far, an AWESOME show!
And here are the pics to prove it! ***WARNING: SOME PICS ARE GRAPHIC*** Including an image depicted by a US soldier.
Our goodie bags:
The Makeup Contest:
Me & Pursebuzz! I look like crap since I woke up so early, LOL. And there's Enkore in the back!

I'm so jealous!! I would love to attend one of these conferences. Like everyone else, I'm curious about how to get an invite.
On another note, I just got a few Silk Naturals eyeshadows and lippies after reading about them on your blog. Thanks for the recommendation!
Also, have you ever used Pop cosmetics? If so, what do you think of its cosmetics?

I am beyond jealous! That place looks like HEAVEN to me :) Do you know if there is any place to buy the stuff there online? Like the brushes and whatnot? I'm really looking for a good brush roll. I know MAC makes one but I'm not sure if it's worth the money because I see train cases and makeup bags at the CCO sometimes..
Anyway, if you know the sites for the brush stuff or some of the palettes, please hit me back (firstname.lastname@example.com)

These are amazing pictures! So many pretties!
I do have a request and its very small and I hope it doesn't offend you.
I'm an Army wife, and my husband is currently deployed. I don't blanch at movies with dead soldiers or violence. But that model of a soldier with his stomach and chest splayed open...it really shook me. I know you said there was graphic pictures, but I certainly wasn't expecting *that*.
Could you add a disclaimer at the top about a soldier being featured in one of the pictures? I'm a pretty stoic person and I would really hate for a less-stoic spouse to come across that.

SOOOOOO jealous!!! I'm glad you had a good time though! It must have been cool to meet all the YouTube Celebs LoL! I wish MAC would open up their Pro memberships more..even if you had to spend a certain amount with the company before they gave you a card, it would allow girls who simply LOVE make-up to get on board. Not everyone wants to be an artist. Anywho, glad you had a good time! I am infinitely jealous!

Over 600 improvements have been listed in the Qt 5.0.2 release. Announced this week, this second update to Qt 5 benefits from some new binary installers, as well as new augmentations to address specifically called out use cases that have been problematic in the earlier Qt 5 releases.

The binary installers work for VS2012 with ANGLE and for VS2010 with OpenGL (for those who do not wish to use ANGLE). Creator 2.7.0 is included in the release package, although programmers will note that Qt 5.0.1 was shipped with Creator 2.6.2 as well.
Qt's own Tuukka Turunen explains that there is now the possibility to more easily skip modules in the configure process when building Qt yourself. Static linking now works correctly for the Qt libraries and the sum of 600 improvements in span a total of 17 different modules of Qt.
"As always, Qt 5.0.2 maintains both forward and backward source compatibility with Qt 5.0. We are continuously ironing out the glitches and improving quality with every new release. If you encounter a problem, please check the known issues page first, where you can find solutions and workarounds for common problems," blogs Turunen.
Qt 5.0.2 is now tagged in the Qt Project repository and the source packages and installers for Qt 5.0.2 are available for download.

It's apparent where I get my makeup addiction from- my grandma.
The woman can hold it down like no other! And oddly enough my mom doesn't wear makeup so I always wondered how this obsession started, LOL. My grandma gave me a box of makeup (mostly Clinique stuff) and told me to get whatever I wanted, can't pass that up!
I have never been much of an avid fan of Clinique, not that I don't like their products (I was rockin' their "Happy" perfume for awhile!), I just never really paid much attention to some of their items, and that's about to change! I already have a list of things I wanna try from their line! I did use their Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion when I was in my teenage years and at the time it was too oily for me which might actually work for me now with my dry skin...
Anyway, I was just amazed that my grams had a box full of crap laying around- just like me. It was super cute too because we basically "swapped" goodies and I gave her a bunch of lipglosses I never used and she loved them because "they matched her outfits". Awww! And let me tell you my grams is not an old granny, she's still pretty young as only in her early 60's, and she still doesn't have any gray hair!
Of course once I give these babies a road test I will review 'em!
OH! And for those of you who have asked me about the Almay Toner in my previous post, I got it from Longs Drugs awhile back, it was on sale for like $4. I don't like the smell, and I have not personally tried it enough yet since I am trying to get through the other toners I bought (I don't know why I keep buying more either), but I will let you know!
This cute compact, I loved the design, but didn't nab it because I don't need it, instead I needed eye and moisture creams...
So what did I end up nabbing? (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
- Repairwear Day Moisturizer with SPF 15
- Clinique's 15 minute facial (a smoothing cream you leave on for 15 minutes then rinse off to reveal smoother looking skin)
- Moisture Surge Face Spray (reminds me of MAC's makeup Fix+ spray) to refresh the face
- City Block Sheer Shimmer Face lotion w/ SPF 15(has tiny shimmer to brighten the complexion especially on no makeup days)
- Clinique All About Eyes (heard many raves on this to dimish dark circles and puffiness, can't wait to try it out!)
- Super Defense Moisturizer with SPF 25 (fight the signs of aging!)
- And 2 mascaras

Nice choices you made there! I've got at least half of them. The eye cream is amazing, as is the Superdefense cream and the facial mask. The mascara is quite not bad too.
I adore Clinique's skin care line, and also their foundations. I don't care about the eyeshadows because they're not very pigmented, but the lipsticks are great. You should try them out.

I shall leave you to savour a beautiful poem written by my friend Jayabrato from Kolkata.
I really loved it.
It came as a special gift before leaving for Singapore ( an hour from now ). I shall definitely miss this space. But like Napoleon ( my husband's biggest hero), I shall be back!! Adieu till tuesday....
Let a little remain
From everything
When everything is lost…
A cheeky blade of grass
A little dust on my shoes,
My mother's broken porcelain
Contrary views!
A tiny trace of frost…
A bit of my chin
In the chin of my daughter,
Sunlight on broken water.
Original sin!
Just a little
Let a little remain…
A handful of jasmine
Still clinging to the creeper,
A lost memento in my
Old cardigan pocket
As I dig deeper…
Yesterday's smell
Heaven and Hell!
Just a little
Let a little remain…
A childhood secret
Broken by a thousand wishes.
All the hits
And all the misses!
A stray strand of hair
On Baba's old shawl,
His voice still echoing
In an empty hall…
Pinholed portraits
Down Memory Lane
A volley of stars
On mountain peaks
And on my cheeks
Sudden drops of rain
Carelessly toss'd…
Let a little remain
From everything
When everything is lost…

After years of complete trial and error where foundations are concerned, I've found a few wonderful ones that work great for me. Since I'm pretty picky about foundations (and since my oily skin tends to make finding one that holds up and stays true even more difficult) I tend to stick with something once I find "the one".
Totally sounds like I'm talking about a serious relationship or something.
Foundations are serious business.
So I decided to create a little video (...ok a BIG 17-minute long video) talking about and showing my favorite (and some honorable mentions) foundations and concealers I've found that actually pass the test of all my picky-ness. That's totally a word.
Foundations and concealers mentioned in the video:
Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ Foundation
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment
MAC Studio Finish concealer
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder
A few honorable mentions...
Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Brightening Concealer

LONGMONT -- The Sierra Club and Earthworks filed Thursday to enter the state's oil and gas lawsuit against Longmont, hoping to aid the city in keeping tighter drilling regulations.
Sierra Club attorney Eric Huber of Boulder said the two environmentalist groups had been watching matters since July, when Longmont adopted the new oil and gas rules that drew a suit from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission a week later. The groups finally decided to act this week, he said, when the COGCC adopted a new 500-foot separation or "setback" between buildings and wells.
"They're still weaker than the city (rules), so it was obviously time to come in and help the city fight," Huber said.
Longmont's regulations use the state setbacks as a minimum requirement, but also include a set of tougher, recommended standards that a driller can adopt to get a permit faster. Those standards call for a 750-foot separation.
If Judge D.D. Mallard accepts the motion, it would leave both sides with one "intervener" joining the case on their side. In November, Mallard conditionally allowed the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, an industry group, to enter the lawsuit, so long as COGA's claims don't require separate evidentiary findings.
Earthworks and the Sierra Club noted COGA's entry in their own motion, saying that if the industry was allowed to join the suit, they should be, too.
"In this case, because COGA members have alleged interests in subsurface oil and gas development rights with the city, (the) applicants should be granted intervention because their members' use and enjoyment of their residences and public areas within the city are adversely impacted by oil and gas operations," read the motion, drafted by Huber and by attorney Devorah Ancel of San Francisco.
Sierra Club has roughly 160 members in Longmont; Earthworks has another 40.
Groups can ask to intervene in a lawsuit if they act in a timely manner and have an interest in the case that's not already "adequately represented" by existing parties. Huber and Ancel argued that the groups have a more focused interest in environmental protection than the city, which also has to consider economic development interests and other considerations. They added that the groups may bring up arguments that the city does not and might have more interest in pursuing an appeal, if necessary.
"Moreover, it is possible that changes in policy or the City administration might cause the city to shift away from a zealous defense of the ordinance," the motion reads. "The prospect of such a shift underscores the citizen groups' need to represent their own interests."
Huber said some of the special areas of interest for the group include the city's restriction against drilling in residential areas, its 300-foot setback between waterways and wells, and a requirement that drilling companies tell the city when hazardous materials are being transported on city streets.
Longmont has not taken a formal position on the intervention.
The motion does not affect a separate COGA lawsuit against Longmont, over a citywide ban of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking." Longmont voters passed the ban in November.
Huber held back on saying whether the Sierra Club and Earthworks would try to join that case as well.
"Maybe," he said. "We're just doing this one right now."

Anyway, I was going to pick up my son from school. I sat, waiting to make a left turn. When the traffic cleared, I turned. BAM! It took me a minute to realize what had happened. I'd been hit! What the heck?! Where did that car come from?! The street was clear. Where on earth had they come from?!
I pulled over into a parking lot and the other car followed me. A teenage girl got out of the car and looked at me like I was an idiot. I asked her, "Didn't you see me?" She flipped out and started yelling, "ME see YOU?! Didn't YOU see ME?" Umm, well, no actually. I didn't. I turned away from her and dialed 911. Actually, I didn't so much dial 911 as I punched 911 as my passcode to unlock my phone. Shockingly, it didn't work. Duh. I came to my senses, unlocked my phone and dialed 911. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? What ARE you supposed to do in an accident? Call the police, right? Or are you just supposed to trade insurance information. I have no idea what to do! Ugh, I got through to 911 and told them the info. No, no airbags deployed. No, no one was hurt. At least I didn't think anyone was hurt. Crap, I didn't even ask to make sure no one was hurt! What's wrong with me? That's the first thing you should do, right? Ohmygosh, my brain wasn't functioning at all.
I hung up and walked back to my car so I could make sure that no one was hurt. Brooklyn was yelling and crying.
"Are you hurt or just scared?" I repeatedly asked her, starting to freak out that she might have been hurt. Finally she answered me.
"I'm hurt."
"Oh God, let her be ok," I thought. "What hurts, sweetie?" I asked, full of concern.
"My ears hurt. That was loud," she whined.
"Your EARS?" Ugh. I breathed a sigh of relief that the kids were all ok. Then I turned to Austin who had been walking out toward the car at the time of the accident. "Was it my fault? Did I pull out in front of her or was she speeding and not see me turn?" I asked.
"It was your fault, Mom," he answered. "She was there and you pulled in front of her."
I felt like an idiot. How did I not see her. It wasn't like I wasn't paying attention or anything. I wasn't talking on the phone or texting or even flailing my arm around to try to swat Jackson for being obnoxious and bugging Clay. I was totally paying attention to the road. I still can't understand how it happened. I wish I could see a video replay of the events from every angle because I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that I caused an accident.
Meanwhile, Jackson was supposed to be at the library for his first Battle of the Books meet. I didn't know how to get in touch with anyone and the police officer hadn't even shown up yet. Oh well, whatcha gonna do, right? We sat tight and waited. The officer pulled up and got out of her car. It was the same officer that came to my house last week! Oh yeah, back up. I guess I never wrote about that. One day last week, a police officer showed up at my front door asking for Jackson.
Long story short is that he and some friends were walking home from school when a car slowed down and yelled some obscenities out the window to Jackson and his friends. One of the kids' parent called the police to report it. Jackson told her what kind of a car it was and what the driver looked like, but said that he didn't really hear what was said.
Anyway, this was the same officer and she remembered us. The other driver came out, the vein in her head ready to burst, but I started talking first and admitted that I must have pulled out in front of her and I just didn't see her.
Sigh. So, in the end, I got a lovely ticket with a price tag of $115 and I get to attend a fun-filled, 4 hour traffic school, the side door of my van is smashed in (but thankfully, still usable), and I'm scared half-to-death to drive. Oh and another parent from the Battle of the Books got ahold of me, I filled her in on what was going on and she sent another parent over to pick up Jax and take him to the library. (They won their first battle despite my slacker son who didn't do his fair share of the reading.)
And none of this would have happened if I didn't live in the frozen tundra because my son would've been walking home. And, of course, none of this would've happened at all if I hadn't just been bragging about the fact that I'd never been in an accident. Damn that Murphy and his stupid law!

David Dye
David Dye is a longtime Philadelphia radio personality whose music enthusiasm has captivated listeners of World Cafe® since 1991. World Cafeis produced by WXPN, the public radio service of the University of Pennsylvania.
Dye launched his distinguished broadcasting career as host of a progressive music show on WMMR 93.3 FM, a pioneering progressive rock station in Philadelphia. During his four-year tenure, Dye won accolades for his taste and laid back presentation. After a five-year stint programming radio stations in Maine, he returned to Philadelphia where he gained public radio experience at WHYY before being recruited in 1981 by alternative rock station WIOQ 102.1 FM where he made his mark on the music scene for nearly a decade.
In 1989, Dye took his musical quest to WXPN where he hosted the station's Sleepy Hollow radio program. Two years later, Dye was asked to spearhead research on the viability of a new public radio program. The research revealed an audience need for a new kind of musical format - one that was intelligent, diverse and would give musical guests a showcase for their artistic expression. Based on the findings, Dye went to work to create a unique program of musical discovery where listeners would be introduced to an eclectic blend of contemporary sounds from legendary and up-and-coming artists. World Cafewas born.
Since launching World Cafein 1991, Dye has served as the host of this nationally acclaimed show, now syndicated on more than 250 public radio stations across the United States. Every week, Dye brings out the best in interviews with internationally known artists such as Yo-Yo Ma and Joni Mitchell. He has conducted nearly 4,500 interviews during his 20 years with the program. He introduces a half-million listeners each week to newcomers like Vampire Weekend, Mumford & Sons, PJ Harvey, Sheryl Crow, Beck, LCD Soundsystem and Amos Lee.
World Cafe and Dye have received numerous awards including: two NFCB Gold Reel Awards, Album Network's "Best Triple A Air Talent," five Philadelphia Magazine's "Best of Philly Awards," the Philadelphia Chapter of NARAS "Hero Award," the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award and numerous radio industry trade magazine citations. In 2006, Dye was named the "Triple A Air Personality of the Year" by Radio & Records.

LOS ANGELES — Bella Swan, James Bond and Abe Lincoln have combined to lift Hollywood to record Thanksgiving revenue at the box office.
Kristen Stewart's finale as Bella in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" was No. 1 again with $64 million during the five-day holiday stretch that began Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Daniel Craig's Bond adventure "Skyfall" came in at No. 2 with $51 million, while Daniel Day-Lewis and Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga "Lincoln" finished third with $34.1 million.
According to box-office tracker Hollywood.com, the three films paced Hollywood to an all-time Thanksgiving week best of about $290 million from Wednesday to Sunday.
That tops the previous record of $273 million over Thanksgiving in 2009, when "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" led the weekend.
This Thanksgiving also was a huge 25 percent jump from a year ago, when domestic revenues were a weak $232 million as some big holiday releases fizzled.
With a strong December lineup ahead, Hollywood has resumed its record revenue pace for the year after a brief box-office lull in late summer and early fall.
Domestic revenues for 2012 are at $9.75 billion, putting Hollywood potentially on track for its first $11 billion year, which would beat the 2009 record of $10.6 billion, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
"We're barreling toward a record-breaking box-office year," Dergarabedian said. "It's built on the back of just a lot of really strong movies that have come out over the past few weekends. It bodes very well for the rest of the holidays."
The "Twilight" finale, "Skyfall" and "Lincoln" finished in the same top-three rankings for the second-straight weekend as new releases were unable to dislodge the holdovers.
Released by Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment banner, "Breaking Dawn — Part 2," pulled in $43.1 million from Friday to Sunday, raising its domestic total to $227 million. The movie added $97.4 million overseas to bring its international total to $350.8 million and its worldwide take to $577.7 million.
Sony's "Skyfall" also topped $200 million domestically, ringing up $36 million for the three-day weekend to put its U.S. total at $221.7 million. With $41.3 million more overseas, "Skyfall" raised its international revenues to $568.4 million and its worldwide sales to $790.1 million.
"Lincoln," a DreamWorks film distributed by Disney, took in $25 million over the weekend to lift its domestic revenue to $62.2 million.
Leading the newcomers was Paramount and DreamWorks Animation's tale "Rise of the Guardians" at No. 4 with $24 million for the weekend and $32.6 million since opening Wednesday.
Based on William Joyce's "Guardians of Childhood" books, "Rise of the Guardians" gathers Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and other mythical beings as a team of heroes battling an evil overlord.
Close behind at No. 5 was director Ang Lee's shipwreck saga "Life of Pi" at No. 5 with $22 million over the weekend. The 20th Century Fox release has taken in $30.2 million domestically since its Wednesday debut and added $17.5 million in four Asian markets.
"Life of Pi" was adapted from Yann Martel's best-selling novel about an Indian youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Many fans considered the introspective novel impossible to film, but Lee has charmed audiences and critics with an inspiring survival story told through dazzling 3-D images.
The weekend's other new wide release, a remake of the 1980s U.S.-invasion tale "Red Dawn," opened at No. 7 with $14.6 million, raising its total to $22 million since debuting Wednesday.
"Red Dawn" sat on the shelf for three years while studio backer MGM went through bankruptcy, with distributor FilmDistrict eventually picking it up for domestic release. The movie's cast includes Chris Hemsworth ("Thor" ) and Josh Hutcherson ("The Hunger Games" ) in a story of young guerrillas battling North Korean invaders.
In limited release, Fox Searchlight's "Hitchcock" opened solidly with about $300,000 in 17 theaters. The movie stars Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in a behind-the-scenes story of the making of "Psycho."
The weekend's overall strength came from a broad range of films that clicked with various audiences, from action and family fare to thoughtful drama.
"This is a marketplace that has something for everyone," said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox. "You have something deeper like 'Life of Pi,' yet you have a very successful sequel in 'Twilight' at the same time. Adult bio-drama, if you will, in 'Lincoln,' and you have Bond. That's the secret to a very successful and balanced marketplace."
'Twilight,' Bond, 'Lincoln' lead record weekend
LOS ANGELES — Bella Swan, James Bond and Abe Lincoln have combined to lift Hollywood to record Thanksgiving revenue at the box office.

The Mysterious Marissa
Today we finally learn who the mysterious user Marissa is. She appeared in Steorn's forum three days ago saying:
"Well, the jury is real, but that's the only refutable comment Mike. Everything
else could be just as you've explained it. Sigh."
crank backed her up with this statement:
"There's an obvious reason how she knows."
And finally we get an even more mysterious answer from Marissa:
"It's not as obvious as you think Crank. But we work in the free energy world.
We hear things. There is a jury - and no, we aren't on it."
So who is Marissa and where does she work? All these comments make sense once you discover that Marissa Little is an experimentalist at EarthTech International (ETI). Dr. Mike gave us a clue when he said "I'm the same age as her father, and I got along well with him too!!". Scott Little is also an Experimentalist at ETI.
It sounds like EarthTech International was in the running to be part of the Jury. We know that they were eventually not selected, but Marissa must have played a role in dealing with Steorn's jury process. So the question still remains, what state is the Jury in today? Are they being strung along, or have they been given unlimited access to Steorn's claims? Have any of the members of the Jury replicated Steorn's experiments? We're all in the dark for now.

Augusta's bowling teams have different levels of experience when it comes to their seniors. But as the Orioles honored their seniors Thursday, their triangular didn't exactly go as one would've expected.
The girls team has three seniors, but none of them have extensive experience with the team. But the girls team still managed t breeze by its competition. The Orioles finished with a team score of 2254, beating Hutchinson by 500 pins (1754) and Cheney by 543 pins (1711).
The boys team, on the other hand, has five seasoned seniors who have been with the program since freshman year. This group even bowled together during middle school. But the Orioles had their day spoiled by Cheney, which pieced together four 200-plus games in the final round to steal a win by 95 pins. Cheney finished with a team score of 2564. Augusta scored 2469 to take second place. Hutchinson was last (2093).
Katy Nordman led the charge for the girls team with a 578 series, including a team game-high 215. Cheyenne Brunhoeber was right behind her with a 573 series, which included a 213 game.
Madison Marcotte bowled a 551 series. Bethany Watson bowled a 527 series. Mason Kuether bowled a 487 series and Hannah Trudell had a 450 series.
The boys' loss was surprising considering the huge games turned in by some of the Orioles. Eric Smith had five straight strikes to start Game 2 before finishing with a 210. Kayl Warne topped that with seven straight strikes and finished with a 267. Isaac Gonzalez, Smith and Sam Davis all finished Game 2 with six strikes apiece. Warned finished with 10 strikes.
In Game 3, though, the Orioles couldn't sustain that impressive level. Davis still got five straight strikes, six in all, and finished with a 643 series. Warned finished with a team-high 650 series. Gonzalez just did crack 600 (607) and Smith finished at 567.
Brock Keazer finished with a 497 series with games of 162, 158 and 177.
Despite bowling well, the boys team surprisingly has dropped three duals in four tries after losing to McPherson last Friday and taking a stunning loss to Circle Tuesday.

"Wrecked" Premieres On SPEED Thursday Night
The transformation of SPEED continues as the network rolls-out another high-profile TV series. Thursday night at 10PM ET will be the network premiere of Wrecked.
This follows the series Super Bikes, PINKS, Living the Low Life, Pass Time, PINKS All-Out, 101 Cars You Must Drive, Drag Race High and Supercars Exposed as the most recent additions to this type of non-racing TV programming.
This is the full page on the SPEEDtv.com website that hosts the information about the TV series and the background on the family-owned Chicago area towing business being profiled.
In the same vein as Deadliest Catch on Discovery and The First 48 on A&E, Wrecked is a reality series that explores the non-traditional employment role of a specific group.
As we detailed in this column, Wrecked follows the family workings of the O'Hare Towing Service. This is the official website that will help to orient viewers as to what services the company offers.
It has been several years now since SPEED abandoned the original network format of focusing on "real racing" and moved into what the network refers to as "automotive lifestyle" programs on weeknights.
That began a long list of programming failures as the network struggled to re-define itself between Monday and Thursday when there is no actual on-track action to cover. These included Texas Hardtails, I Wanna Date A Race Car Driver and Shooting Cars.
The multi-hour Monday presentation of NASCAR programming was also dismantled. That left This Week in NASCAR as the only racing-related show. The Tuesday night block of motorcycle content was completely cancelled and the Wednesday evening replay of the previous week's Sprint Cup race was moved to the afternoon. The change was complete.
Although never admitted publicly, the purchase of SpeedVision in 2002 by Rupert Murdoch and his Fox Cable Networks group was with the goal of changing the network into a full-time NASCAR channel. The name was changed to SPEED Channel and the network offices were dispatched to Charlotte, NC where they remain today.
In 2005, Jim Liberatore was dismissed as network president after he apparently objected to the increased amount of NASCAR programming that he was being forced to carry by his superiors. The network subsequently re-branded itself as SPEED and brought-in veteran TV executive Hunter Nickell to right the ship.
He inherited an interesting problem. NASCAR fans wanted more programming from the NASCAR Media Group like 7 Days and NASCAR Confidential. Non-NASCAR fans wanted WRC, Formula-1 and other racing series to take center-stage as they had done with SpeedVision.
Meanwhile, Nickell faced a wasteland of weeknights with declining viewership and a hodge-podge of programming. After throwing many programming concepts at the wall, SPEED finally found PINKS. This TV series made the cross-over from cult hit to mainstream success and has now provided the genesis of a new effort toward more lifestyle program series.
If Wrecked resonates with the fans, TV viewers will no doubt see SPEED continue to fill the weekdays with this type of programming. The shame for NASCAR fans in all of this is that somehow things have come full-circle in this TV equation.
While The NASCAR Media Group produces the weekend shows from the SPEED Stage and TWIN on Mondays, there is no longer any NASCAR in primetime on SPEED during the week. It seems ironic that the very network that moved to Charlotte to embrace NASCAR and is an official NASCAR TV partner will not invest the time and resources to develop one new original weekday program series for the fans.
The last time SPEED did this was for a show called Beyond The Wheel. It won several national Sports Emmy Awards and is still being produced today for another cable network. SPEED cancelled the series to focus the network's resources elsewhere.
SPEED has the perfect right to produce whatever TV programs increase the audience and grow the business. Unfortunately, other than one hour on Monday nights, the lack of weekday NASCAR programming has forced fans away from the network and directly over to ESPN2 and the Internet.
It seems a bit ironic that a TV network that moved to Charlotte and is surrounded by NASCAR shops, personalities and the many NASCAR support businesses has to travel to Chicago to find a new source of reality TV programming.
The premiere of Wrecked will not be reviewed on this NASCAR blog. If you want to comment on that program after it airs please follow this link to the SPEEDtv forum. If you would like to offer your opinion about the topics in this column, please feel free.

Grassroots racing shows "Setup" and "Pinks: All Out" make sense; The Pinks: All Out format lets grassroots racers race in a $10,000 and tool chest drag race. Setup lets aspiring road racers earn a Grand-Am ride.
But some of the shows I cannot stand. Wrecked -- I wonder if O'Hare Towing helped Chicagoland Speedway with services for fans.
I do think they need some more NASCAR documentaries, while they let the FIA European GT, V8 Supercar, DTM, and BTCC series wait until the off-season to air.
But I think they need to let them air the V8 Supercar signature event live -- the Bathurst 1000.

You're kidding, right? Was there really a show called "I Wanna Date A Race Car Driver "? I shudder at the thought.
I still mourn the loss of WRC.

Summer of 2004 with a format kind of like The Bachelor. Jon Wood and Brandon Whitt were the featured drivers and it ended with a date, not a fake marriage.
Scott Lasky (NFL Prime Ticket) was the host and the series sunk quietly into the depths after just a couple of episodes.
Got to use WRC.com for the video, but it is not the same.

I can't believe anyone will watch this show. I don't have enough spare time to watch reality shows. Sorry.

Frankly, if it's not Nascar or directly related to racing, Speed is off my radar. Sleazy 'lifestyle' shows have no interest for me at all. Too bad.
- July 16, 2008 at 8:42 PM
- Dot said...
The only shows I watch on SPEED are TWIN, 101 Cars, Truck races and other racing series.
If I watch reality shows, they are crime and medical related. You know there isn't much "reality" in reality shows.
SPEED needs to designate one full night to NASCAR fans. Mondays would be good. Do an experiment SPEED.

I would say the name of the show is an apt description of SPEED's weekday programming.
- July 17, 2008 at 3:18 AM
- Bill H said...
I probably will not watch Wrecked for 2 reasons:
1) Over promotion during the All Star Race
2) The new Gong show premiers tonight (woot woot!)
But, why is it that this and other lifestyle shows are looked down upon on Speed just because Speed shows Nascar programming? At least the subject matter has something to do with motor vehicles, unlike spelling bees and texas hold 'em poker showing up on the world wide leader in sports (ESPN).
I am as big a Nascar fan as the next person, but I can only watch cars go around in circles for so long before I have to turn the channel.
That last time I watched a show on Speed that was Nascar was the Texas Hard Tails show. The show was corny as heck, but funny.

A family that goes around picking up stranded cars seems a stretch for me. I'm sure they provide a tremendous service to the motorists of Chicago, but why would anybody be interested in watching them? How is that any more dangerous than working as a pit crew member on a NASCAR team?
The correlation that I am trying to make is that if you wanted a show about regular folks who do extraordinary work, why would you choose a tow truck driver over the guys that go over the wall at a NASCAR race? Speed has a lot of good stories if they would just look for them.
As for showing the different racing series, I really do miss that. I enjoyed watching the WRC and the Dakar rally. That stuff was so exotic and cool.

I miss the days of the old Speedvision. They used to show boats races, aircraft, etc. Almost anything with an engine was on 24/7. There is so much racing going on on this planet it's a complete shame Speed doesn't show any of it. Where's the Cascar races (yeah I know it's the Canadian Tire series)? Why can't we see those live or at least the same week?
I agree with most everyone else. Once Sunday night passes Speed's channel buttons on my remote rarely get dialed in.

Well, this show just gives me another reason not to watch Speed. I loved the WRC racing and other than bikes (cuz I'm just not into it), I'll watch other forms of racing if they show it on Speed. JD, you said that Beyond the Wheel is still being produced only for another channel -- if I e-mail you will you tell me what channel and I'll see if it is in my lineup. I used to watch so much programming on Speed, now, I almost never do.

If the tow trucks get wrecked I'll watch. About 6 months ago one of O'Hare Towing's drivers cut me off at 85 mph on the Eisenhower expressway at 5am on the way to work. Must have been a slow day for them to cause their own wrecks -- maybe I was being filmed?

It's amazing that a channel called Speedvision which was so well-received by all racing fans has toppled into what Speed's content is now. Speedvision was fun and very interesting to watch - giving us programs that were never available to us before. And why can't Speed show F1, Super V8 racing, and other racing events as well as 'reality' shows that actually show the reality of alot of peoples' lives who are actually working within the sport? I guess that would be too easy! Thanks John

I would rather watch a two hour proactiv infomercial or four hours of a thighmaster infomercial while slowly having my intestines pulled out of my mouth. Speed has been nothing but oil sludge since it was sold to Murdoch in 2002

Like most cable networks, SPEED's viability depends on marketing energy drinks and video games to dumb kids. Capturing intelligent viewers requires too much work and too much money.
If it wasn't for F1, I wouldn't have a clue what channel SPEED is on.

Last night, we were watching the NH Camping World East race that I recorded yesterday while working - yeah it's 2 1/2 weeks after the race and then shown at noon or something when most people are working. And I said "we can't see stuff like this LIVE because of stupid reality shows on SPEED now?" SPEED just gets around to showing it and what a simply horrible broadcast (with blurry pictures, no lap counter, etc.)! Thank goodness HDNet is picking up the rest of the East Series beginning in on 26 July.
I don't watch "reality" TV and will never watch any of these shows on SPEED.

The only thing that you can say about the proliferation of this kind of show is it's CHEAP, no actors, no script. Here's an idea for programing how about showing classic racing events whether they be Nascar, F-1, Indy, NHRA whatever RACING so much of Speeds programing is getting farther and farther away from actual racing. If I see another show with the little loudmouth bully from Unique doing his Paul Tuttle Sr. act it will be too soon. Anyone that's ever had the experience of having your car towed by O'Hare Towing won't find this show funny or entertaining been there and done that, most of the time you expect to see a mask when you get robbed.

Gosh, I miss SpeedVision. I can only imagine how they would've brought NASCAR coverage forward while remaining true to the followers of other branches of motorsports.
Wasn't Jim Liberatore trying to put together a new network similar to the original Speedvision premise? The Racing Network or something similar?

". . .four hours of a thighmaster infomercial while slowly having my intestines pulled out of my mouth."
ROFLOL. I think that sums it up pretty well. I guess if WRECKED turns into a hit, we'll know it's not the racin' crowd that's tuning it. Maybe that's what Speed wants?

If there was ever any one area of television that has become over-saturated, it's the 'reality' shows. The only ones I watch are Deadliest Catch, Dirtiest Jobs and Everest: Beyond the Limit.
Does Rupert Murdoch still own Speed? And isn't the new available-only-on-digital-cable Fox Business News channel his as well? As many of us know, the man's got a lot of influence as well as money. Perhaps now that he has his business news channel up and running, he'll give some consideration to a 24-hour NASCAR channel. It sure would be nice.

I'm going to give this show a try but on the later rerun. Hopkins is a can't miss miniseries.
I like Ice Road Truckers, too, Ax Men, Tougher in Alaska, Deadliest Catch. Manly men. Don't think Wrecked will be anything like that, but you never know. Maybe the part with the repo men will be good.
You posters are cracking me up.

I did not watch Wrecked, but I have watched and enjoyed Ice Road Truckers. I do watch many other "reality" shows, but all of them are competitions (American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, etc.)
It was interesting to see Speedcouch's comments on the poor quality of the Camping World East telecast from Loudon. Interestingly, it was to have been shown again today from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific time, but it was pre-empted for three episodes of Pinks. Maybe the tape was so ugly that Speed decided not to show it again.
This could be a great opportunity for another media owner to develop a competitor to Speed to carry much of the racing action that Speed has dropped. And perhaps even the "NASCAR Network" could become reality as well. Certainly, it will fall behind all the major team sports in North America when MLB Network launches next New Year's Day.

SPEED has been destroyed by FOX - this channel now totally sucks.
There is plenty of racing that could be shown 24/7 from Europe, OZ, etc.
Good god bring back WRC! DTM! Supercars!
