NASCAR: Tony Stewart fights back, holds off Jimmie Johnson to win a wild Tu
2011-10-30 22:44:00 (Photo by John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)Damn, this one especially from where I was sitting here at home was a wild one for sure. When NASCAR dropped the green flag, all of the drivers that were actually running the entire race must have said, ?I?m going to give it everything and nobody is going to get in my way no matter what? as the word ?wreckfest? was used several times during the race. Can you say 18 cautions.Notebook:1. Tony Stewart had a good car earlier on, but fell back outside the top 20. However when it came to 100 laps to go, there was Tony Stewart making his way up through the field, picking them off one by one. And after a late race restart caused by Brian Vickers yet again, Smoke passed a hard charging Jimmie Johnson to win the race.2. Brian Vickers was one name that was in the headlines all race long and not in a good way. It seems Brian Vickers had a very busy day with him driving way too far over his head and was either getting into other drivers or other d...
Nokia Fights Back: Windows Phone And Asha Series To Win Back The Market
2011-10-28 14:14:00 Nokia is one company almost everyone can relate to. At one point, almost all of us have had a Nokia device. Their Symbian operating system ruled the roost for almost a decade and their entry level devices were found in households all over the world. However, as with any company, things began to stagnate and they began losing market share and more importantly, mind share to competitors. In the lower range too they lost their price advantage to local and chinese brands. In February this year, newly appointed CEO Stephen Elop famously announced their plans for a comeback with their Windows Phone range of devices. Now, nine months later, at Nokia Word in UK, they did just that. Two Windows Phone 7 devices were launched by Nokia: the Nokia Lumia 710 and Lumia 800. Both running the latest Windows Phone Mango OS, with Nokia Exclusive apps like Nokia Drive and Nokia music. The Lumia 710 is a mid range device. Sporting a 3.7 inch screen and made of plastics with attractive colors, this see...

For generations fighting in the sport of hockey has been a hot topic of discussion when it comes the sport evolving.

The Hill reported that the SEIU lobbied hard against the repeal measure that Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell helped bring to the Senate floor earlier this week. The SEIU sent around a flurry of emails to senate offices....

The mega-matchup of multi-division champions, pound-for-pound kings and future Hall of Famers summons memories not only of Leonard-Hearns, but also of the rich history of American welterweights.In recent years, boxing's headlines have been made largely by foreign-born fighters like Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, Ricky Hatton, Manny Pacquiao, Joe Calzaghe and Juan Manuel Marquez. At welterweight or otherwise, there have been precious-few all-American matchups.

Fantasitc Family Water Fights with the Max Liquidator
2009-06-30 07:30:00 Hooray! The June gloom is gone and it's sunny and beautiful. Perfect weather for a water fight! Around here a good fight is always a sign of a good toy and that is exactly what happened when we tested out the Max Liquidator this weekend.Available from Prime Time International, the Max Liquidator is a simple and super effective water blaster. We were recently sent one to try out and I think it's inevitable that I will be purchasing about 3 more... With only one for our family of four (yes, I am including myself and my husband) there was a battle over who was going to use it first. I won. The Max Liquidator looks like a small foam "noodle" pool toy, but secretly it's the best water blaster on the market I have tried to date. We've gone through several name brand water guns/toys, all being just mediocre. Some don't hold enough water, some are hard to fill, and some last about a day before they end up in the trash totally useless. NOT the Max Liquidator. This baby is eas...

TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES Star Thomas Dekker Fights For His F
2009-05-15 23:00:00 Completely devoid of a filter, or better-still a high-powered Hollywood publicist to ask “Do you really think this is a good idea?” comes a shirtless, foul-mouthed, not-safe-for-work, cigarette smoking Thomas Dekker; Doing his part to fight for his future and save TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Or as this TV Addict likes to call it, a trend we get behind. Now don’t get us wrong. We’re not asking for your average run-of-the-mill Joe or Jane six-pack to go shirtless in support of his or her favorite show. Really, a trip to Subway in support of CHUCK will suffice. But imagine if you will the possibilities should Dekker’s video plea become a trend. After-all, who is going to say “No” to a shirtless Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Tamoh Penikett or Eliza Dushku? Think about it! Thanks to Nice Girls TV for the Tip!
