Programming and Graphics / Re: Weather Proof: New Episodes Coming

« on: September 29, 2010, 11:27:07 PM »

According to a press release by TWC that was posted on TV By The Numbers webpage, it looks like it revealed what the new episodes of Weather Proof will be about. Stephanie will be back, and that one Newton guy as well.

Which means....... Steph will be gone every two weeks from now on. 

Here are the list of the episodes and the excerpts (from the press release)

“Trapped” premieres Oct. 2 – Stephanie and Newton show us how to escape alive from an avalanche, burning house and submerged car. Weather Proof tests avalanche detection devices and fireproof suits while “trapped” in some of these most feared situations.

“Gimme Shelter” premieres Oct. 9 – Weather Proof tests various shelters to see how much they can endure from Mother Nature. Stephanie and Newton light things up to see what type of walls help protect houses from being engulfed in flames. The team goes camping during thunderstorms and flash floods to discover if tents stay dry, and brave freezing temperatures and frostbite to see how an igloo can help protect you from a snowstorm.

“Car vs. Road” premieres Oct. 16 – This ultimate road test puts cars up against flash floods, mudslides, black ice and fog. Discover what types of tires work best when battling these extreme weather elements, and learn about the dangers of driving in the fog and what safety precautions should be taken.

“Twister” premieres Oct. 23 – Weather Proof puts your car and roof to the test during a tornado. The team simulates tornado-type winds to see what happens while driving during a tornado and what types of roofs will best withstand a tornado. And is there a way to “blow up” a tornado? Newton gives it his best shot.

“Deluge” premieres Oct. 30 – In this episode, Weather Proof takes on Mother Nature’s worst water dangers. Find out what types of tires can help avoid hydroplaning in a thunderstorm. The team interviews tsunami experts to find better ways to protect coastlines.

Weather Proof premieres this Saturday at 9 ET/6 PT

I love Stephanie! I'll miss her when she's not on YWT.

Anyone happen to hear the song that played at 4:48pm just before the tropical update, I'm sure it's by George Howard, but the song name escapes me...

Nope, I know it wasn't either of those. I thought it was George Howard, but I could be wrong, it hasn't played in quite a while now. I recorded it so I'll upload it later. It also played at 4:28pm.

Well I guess that song I recorded earlier that i thought was by George Howard was wrong then, It might be Euge Groove...

Romeo and Juliet - Euge Groove (it has a sorpano saxophone, rather than the tenor), which was used on TWC November 2008 primetime (Back when there wasnt a lot of repeats and primetime was good). Finally, a 2008 repeat, primetime so far is just full of 2009/2010 repeats. All of them of are non jazz.

You're right Felix, it was "Romeo and Juliet" by Euge Groove. I just got a ad tag with the song ID on it after I uploaded a video of it.

EDIT: Also I heard the Shaft theme, boy talk about repeats galore!  Pretty unfortunate, I thought this was a solid playlist until I heard the Primetime portion, seriously haven't we worn out "Monoliths" over the past 8 weeks as it is?

But…but I actually liked Monoliths!

Nice, but there are some bugs right now. The logo is missing, and I had trouble logging in earlier (had to reset my password). In addition, the member map is missing. And the system keeps on randomly logging me out.

Needs more cowbell cores! Meet the latest edition to my family 

I can't imagine how a computer with 12 cores would perform.     You must have a lot of money to spend on gizmos like that.

KISS Concert photo. On this one they were performing "Detroit Rock City"...

That's a really cool wallpaper. I didn't know Windows 7 still had the sidebar though.
