5 reasons to see 'The Box'
2009-11-06 05:32:00 My colleague Geoff Berkshire didn't enjoy writer-director Richard Kelly's ("Donnie Darko," "Southland Tales") latest piece of weirdness, "The Box." I did. It's not great; the movie, about a couple (Cameron Diaz, James Marsden) presented with a box and button which, if pushed, will provide $1 million but a person they don't know will die, is too static and blunt for that. As a piece of spooky, mind-bending, 3 stars out of 5 sci-fi though, there's a lot to dig in this story that's ultimately about our ability to let emotions and self-interest lead us into corners we sometimes can't get out of. And, as people remain perpetually fascinated with extra terrestrial life, the film wonders why we sometimes put so...
Three Reasons Why Purdue Quarterbacks Are Undefeated In The National Footba
2009-10-30 19:14:00 As the calendar turns from October to November this weekend, there are only three undefeated teams remaining in the NFL: the New Orleans Saints, the Denver Broncos, and the Indianapolis Colts.Any guesses what they have in common?(Very good: I was hoping that you'd already read the headline!)The Saints, Broncos, and Colts rosters all feature ex-Purdue quarterbacks, namely Drew Brees, Kyle Orton, and Curtis Painter.Now, while Painter is a rookie 3rd-stringer who has yet to take a snap in 2009, both Brees and Orton have started every game for their respective clubs.Purdue University has long been known as the "Cradle of Quarterbacks", turning out such well-known passers as Bob Griese, Mark Herrmann, Jim Everett, Len Dawson, Gary Danielson, etc.That reputation was...

Reasons to Do a Short Sale
2009-09-16 07:00:00 For some financially strapped and upside-down home sellers, there are good reasons to do a short sale over a foreclosure. I find that most short sale sellers, once they understand the benefits of a short sale, would prefer to do a short sale instead of letting the property go to the bank. It's about maintaining a sense of control, too. Well, unless your loan was originated by Countrywide, which is now Bank of America. Lord help those sellers. Bank of America short sales are generally a nightmare, second only to original Countrywide loans, which are the devil incarnate . . . read more about good Reasons for a Short Sale.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons We’re Excited For FRINGE’s Second Se
2009-09-11 00:54:00 Love is in the air After a long day of saving the world from paranormal phenomena and mutated serial killers that may-or-may-not-be from ‘the other side (dimension?),’ it should probably come as no surprise that two of your favorite series regulars succumb to temptation on Thursday’s second season premiere. But what might come as a surprise is which member (or members) of Fringe division lock lips! Needless to say, like most everything on the series, we guarantee you will not see it coming.

There May Be Solid Reasons Why Your Home Isn't Selling
2009-09-09 07:00:00 When 30 to 60 days go by without an offer, it's normal for sellers to ask why their home isn't selling. When homes don't sell, there are a host of reasons to explore apart from price. I mean, price plays an important factor; it's just not the only factor. Because, believe it or not, some homes simply take longer to sell than others. Especially upper-end homes. Some buyers lie in wait for such a home to come on the market and jump on the chance to buy these estates when they first hit MLS. In fact, some homes never make into MLS before they are sold, there's that much demand for them. Most agents, myself included, maintain lists of buyers to call when these opportunities arise. These million-dollar buyers are in no rush to buy, but if the home of their dreams becomes available, they are ready to drop serious cash. Your home doesn't have to be worth a million to be desirable. It could be a $100,000 bungalow. If it's desirable, buyers will fall over themselves to acquire it...

We Need Strong Blog Networks for Reasons Beyond Money
2009-08-25 20:19:00 The intellectual value that blogs and bloggers bring as info-media is immense in India. They present thought leadership not only with regards to their own niches but of blogging as a powerful medium as a whole. At a certain point of time the Indian blogosphere was the new measure of intelligentsia of the country. However for reasons that vary from exhaustion to newer tools to a general lack of ideas blogs haven’t gone beyond the mainstream peak they seemed to have reached back in early 2000 s. The number of bloggers in India have gone up for sure, which perhaps is the reason many popular bloggers began to shift to newer media like Twitter for self expression and continue their early adopter aura. So while the numbers improved the influence to a certain extent decreased. This however is a debatable point, and anyway doesn’t hold considerable value in the actual topic of this post. What does hold a lot of value though is the stagnation that blogs are stuck in since quite...

Three Reasons to plant a Linden Tree in Chicago
2009-08-22 05:19:00 Last year I while walking down a street I'd never been down before I caught whiff of a scent so sweet that I paused and looked around for the source. I carefully examined the two gardens and plantings on the parkway looking for the source of the scent. I crouched down and circled a tree sniffing every bloom in the parkway to no avail. When I finally stood upright my head was underneath the canopy of a young tree covered in tiny yellow flowers, and there was the source of the scent. I made a mental note to look up the tree later and went about my day. ...

Five Reasons the Bears Won't Win the North

That better be some quarterback. Without further adieu, here are the five reasons the Bears won't win the division in 2009.#5. They start 0-2The Packers had an awful 2008 but it was also a season they let get away.

Credit Cards - 4 Reasons Why Credit Cards Are Essential For a Profitable On
2009-07-22 17:24:00 When you operate a traditional brick and mortar business, credit cards are one form of processing a transaction -- they are the lifeline for any online business. If it's not convenient for you and your business, you don't even have to accept credit cards because people can pay you in other ways. However, with your online business, these types of transactions are the bread and butter, and your sales rely almost solely on them.Here are several reasons why credit cards are essential for a profitable online business.1. Main means of transaction - As mentioned, credit cards are the main means of transaction for your online business. It's not as if you can accept cash over your Internet connection. Therefore you need these cards, and you need to have a secure system in place that makes people feel at ease using their credit cards and giving out that information. If you fail to have that, people won't make any purchases and you'll be left without your sole source of revenue.2. Growi...

Four Reasons Why Bloggers on Twitter Shouldn't Pimp Facebook
2009-07-02 11:14:00 Anyone who's ever followed anyone on Twitter will be aware of my biggest pet peeve about the world's leading micro-blogging service: impersonal, automated Direct Messages, or DMs, thanking you when you follow (i.e. subscribe to the updates of) a fellow Twitter user. Perhaps the worst of these canned-ham responses are the ones immediately inviting you to join the person you've just followed on Facebook. The assumption seems to be all social networking sites are the same: if you like me here, you'll love me over there. The Internet is a bad place to make assumptions like that.

Michael Taylor’s Top 10 Reasons to Check Out VIRTUALITY
2009-06-25 21:06:00 Veteran television producer Michael Taylor (STAR TREK VOYAGER, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, CAPRICA) is no dummy. He understands how the television industry works and knows all too well that the only way VIRTUALITY (the show in which he co-created with BSG’s Ron Moore) has a shot of getting picked up as a regular series is if the fans tune into the pilot two-hour movie that FOX is dumping airing tomorrow night at 8PM. “I think all of the online attention is important. Letter-writing campaigns, all that stuff, is wonderful. But really, it’s eyeballs on televisions on Friday night. That’s what it comes down to. People have to turn out and watch this show,” explained Taylor in an interview posted earlier today on HITFIX.com, “There’s a big audience out there and if FOX sees a hint of that big audience, or more than a hint, it could be a series.” Which is why this TV Addict wanted to do his part by sharing with you Taylor’s Top 10 Reasons...

4 Reasons Why Opera Unite Has Got Things Wrong
2009-06-18 06:34:00 I have been an avid Opera user for almost 8- months now. I also feel that the widgets that they have are slightly better than the Firefox add ons (but that is debatable and subjective). In fact amongst Firefox, Chrome and Opera I probably like Opera the most, purely because of them being an prime innovation ground. Tabs, mouse gestures, even the wand tool is better than the other password managers - and all these are Opera innovations that you now see on most browsers. So when Opera launched the alpha release of Opera Unite, especially with the buzz that they created with the “on 16th The Web Will be Reinvented” campaign, they got me really excited. And true to their word they have taken the dimensions of a web browser to a whole new level in terms of the features on hand. However, there are a few reasons I don’t think these features make them any better than a regular browser. These are: No Support for PHP Browser as a Web Server - W00t! No PHP support though, s...

Seven Reasons Why Beef Is Not Ready For The Dinner Table
2009-06-15 22:59:00 Despite its many advocates, whenever I buy some beef and try it, I always end up going back to chicken. Chicken has what I want, and beef doesn't. The latest releases of beef got my hopes up, but I was again disappointed. Now, don't get me wrong. I like beef and I was one of the first people in my family to try some - I was even eating beef decades ago! And I have a tattoo of a cow on my back! But I think, for most diners, beef isn't ready for the dinner table, and here's why: 1) Too many cuts. Should I get loin, tenderloin, sirloin? Ribs, T-bones, tripe, tongue? Consumers are confused by all these choices; they want a wing, a drumstick, a breast, and a thigh in a bucket. 2) Lack of recipe support. Nobody knows how to cook it, except for those geeky elitist specialists who went to chef school. 3) Too complicated for Joe Sixpack. You have to cook it to a certain temperature, or else you could get some foodborne illness like "Campylobacter jejuni" or "Salmonella" or "E.Coli". L...
