Is it that big of a deal that they're calling it the Fourth of July? I don't know anyone that refers to 7/4 as Independence Day... everyone I know calls it "the Fourth," "Fourth of July," or "America's Birthday."Agreed. Who cares what they call it, as long as we know what the holiday stands for
Justin Beiber is going to be the next Michael Jackson. It's ridiculous. Plus, his music (and any music from this current era) is TERRIBLE.Have to disagree with the bold....
Yeah, definately something that needs official confirmation. If it does happen, it's sad; however, I won't be surprised one bit.Well, they just fired Keneely this week, so no one there seems safe!I won't believe that one bit until I see an article from someone that actually got the info from TWC. He did used to work for WTVT in Tampa in 1982 up until TWC's launching.
This kid is insane. People were flooding the newsroom I work in with pictures of him spotted around town, and even cell phone video. It is REDICULOUS! He got kicked out of Wal Mart because him and his "posse" were riding bikes and throwing balls around. PUNK! 
)..my brother's friend's sister (who is 20) is a huge fan of him, so she went down to the hotel he is staying at and tried spotting him. She wasn't alone. The station did a live report from the hotel, and there were like 30 pre-teen/teen girls standing out there screaming for this no-talent kid! Unbelievable!! Anyways, she got invited to go bowling with Justin's back-up singers and dancers..crazy (which it never ended up happening..haha).
Very True. That, and I am sure that they will beat the heck out of "We are in Storm Alert here at The Weather Channel for ...."TWC uses red lower-thirds for any developing story or coverage for any severe weather, so it's harder to determine when TWC goes into Storm Alert.When the studio goes red, you'll know it's storm alert.
Hurricane Alex has made landfall near Soto La Marina, Mexico around 10 PM EDT. This town is about 110 miles south of Brownsville, TX. The winds have peaked at 105 mph, and the pressure is 947 mb. That pressure reading is really low for a Category 2 hurricane. It could have been a scary situation if Alex had more time over water as it was really picking up intensity the last few hours.A couple of the local meteorologists here were really surprised how low that pressure was. They were saying that the pressure was more like a Category 4 hurricane! Crazy.
Apparently, weather.com has been completely redesigned and will launch in the coming weeks. The post states that the last redesign was nearly 10 years ago. Wow, I had no idea it had been THAT long! Where I work, we generally recommend redesigning a site every few years.
I wonder what TWC considers a complete "redesign," then.They actually seem to have changed the look/layout of their website a few times in the past ten years. Just look at this screenshot from 2006 and compare it what the site looks like now. This is a big difference, but I guess it's not considered a re-design.
(Which could mean that this will be a MAJOR facelift.

Julie Martin is Brownsville-bound to track Hurricane Alex! Facebook confirms.She has been doing several reports from Louisiana on the oil spill. It's about time TWC sends her out to cover weather.
To be honest, I haven't seen her do a live report for a while now.
You really get around, don't youI can't sleep. Gotta love it when the a/c doesn't work and it's a sizzling night.Try sleeping in a tent outside! haha I am back from camping as most of you have already seen. I went down to Cape Hatteras for a few days with some friends. Boy was it hot. One night I just had to sleep in my car with the AC on once in a while. Still it was a lot of fun
