Home theaters are growing rapidly in popularity. More and more educated adults are spending their time and money wisely while enjoying their Friday nights together at home. With numerous styles of home theater loungers and recliners that are available, consumers are finding that comfort and fun go hand in hand. Kids are now included in the fun with their own children's home theater lounger. Quite
10. You absolutely love the movie, "The Ten Commandments". 9. You look really, really good in yellow. 8. You just went on a low cholesterol diet and didn't want to waste all those eggs in the fridge. 7. You figure any Holiday that starts with a "Good Friday" can't be all bad. 6. You love to bite the heads off chocolate bunnies. 5. It's a good time to check out your neighborhood church and not be noticed. 4. You have this bunny suit you love to wear, but are too insecure to wear it without a reason. 3. Even though you don't know what it is, you really like the sound of going to a "Passion Play." 2. You figured since Jesus went to all THAT trouble to make it to the first Easter, you'd give it a shot. 1. As a Christian you celebrate the resurrection every other day, why not Easter too?
1. A perfect taste...Many people buy organic food because they believe it tastes better than non-organic. This could be because organic fruit and vegetables tend to grow more slowly and have a lower water content, which may contribute to the fuller flavour some people experience. A poll in 2005 showed that quality and taste of food are important to more people than low prices. 2. It's healthy...On average, organic food contains higher levels of vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants. Organic milk is naturally higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin A (beta carotene) and certain other antioxidants than non-organic milk. 3. No nasty additives...Only 32 of the 290 food additives approved for use across t
1.) Wood heaters use a renewable resource that prevents the depletion of oil or coal reserves. They also eliminate the associated air pollution of burning these fuels. Since wood is a natural carbon based fuel and new wood stoves are designed to minimize emissions it truly is an environmentally friendly heating source.2.) A wood heater as many uses. It can be both functional as a heater and cooking surface as well as decorative center focus in a family room or living area. Many wood heaters feature either burner type units on the top of the heater for top of the stove cooking or oven type cooking areas.3.) Modern wood heaters burn 72-82% cleaner than they have in the past with significantly less pollution to the environment than other heating sources. New airtight technology and design has

The Democratic race is entering the final phase, and it looks like Obama is gonna show Hillary who really wears the pant(suit) in the family. Here now are the top ten reasons Barack Hussein Obama should be president:10. Because Che Guevara never had the chance.9. Seriously, do you want Hillary?8. So his Chief of Staff can ‘Pimp’ Air Force One.7. Reparations? I’ll give you reparations.....6. Season tickets to Washington Nationals home games.5. People will finally stop calling him 'Webster'.4. Policy blunders would make people quickly forget about Bush.3. Obama, Usama. Usama, Obama.2. It would guarantee a Republican president in 2012.1. White House? My ass!
1. Campaign Costs - Every year, we surpass the previous year’s record for how much elected officials pay for their offices. While I am no Constitutional scholar, I am fairly certain that it was the intent of the framers of that document, that members of the Congress should be elected by the people – not by the money that they could raise. 2. Motive to Pass Legislation Now – As it stands at the present, fewer and fewer bills are passed with every session of the Congress. Many of those that do, are of a more ceremonial variety; the naming of a federal building for a departed member of the community or some such. Many of the more serious bills that are proposed are sent off to committee to be reviewed until the next holiday
The American Civil Liberties Union has called for a special prosecutor to investigate the destruction of the CIA interrogation tapes. The full letter is available here. The letter outlines ten reasons why the Senate should ask for an independent prosecutor. (Sorry for those going through withdrawal during the writer’s strike–this is not a Letterman-like top ten list). The ACLU’s ten reasons are:
There is credible evidence of numerous federal crimes
Attempts to shield government officials from criminal prosecution were pursued by the White House, including by the president and vice president
Attorney General Mukasey still refuses to say whether waterboarding and other forms of torture are illegal
The current head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department was in meetings on interrogations
The past head of the Criminal Division reportedly advised on interrogation practices, possibly including the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah
The Justice Department wrote th
As I don’t currently live in the US, and have only half an ear turned to the primaries, I was planning to abstain from this month’s focus on the election. However, having recently gone head-to-head on the issue over pints here in Britain, I decided I just couldn’t contain myself. Though I am, perhaps, not the most informed voter these days, here are the top ten reasons I shall be voting for Barack Obama:
10. Michelle & Co
After eight years of Laura Bush and her daughters, Condi, and truly frightful characters like Karen Hughes and Harriet Myers, the “women” of the Bush administration have left Americans utterly starved for role models who embody (all in one package) strength, success, intelligence, fun, warmth, and (dare I say it) femininity. So of course, the main appeal of Hillary is her potential to make the Viagra-popping greys in Washington shut up once and for all and sing “Hail to the Squaw.” Neverthless, as I can’t actually bring myself to like
And the top ten reason to quit playing RAN Online, from 10 to 1, are:10. Availability of newer and better online games.Frankly I don't have much experience with other MMORPGs, but I've heard and read lots of positive reviews over some newer online games, such as Perfect World, Lineage II, and Granado Espada. Yeah, it may be hard to give up RAN Online after all those months, but you never know. It may be about time to move on to some other MMORPG. And who knows? The service and support may even be better.9. Poor return of investment.You play for hours on end, for months, perhaps even years, and eventually you get that high level character you've always wanted. Now what? You could try selling your account, but not only is that prohibited by e-Games, you'll only get a small fraction of the money you invested into making that character in the first place.Well, you do get bragging rights against lesser characters, but the satisfaction doesn't last. No matter how high your character's

by Paul Pastore an agent in Phoenix. It does reference the Phoenix market of Course, but their market and ours have always been on parallel tracks.
I mention several of these all the time to people I talk to, but this is a real great list.
Selection, selection, selection. There are about 57,000 resale homes on the market in Maricopa county(Phoenix). Regardless of the price range a buyer desires, there are plenty of houses from which to choose. Just a few years ago the resale inventory dropped below 5,000 units. A buyer was forced to make compromises if they were going to locate the home of their dreams. There is a great selection of attached homes, condos, and townhouses. You can find large lots, small lots, and a lot that will accommodate your boat or RV. There are lots of options in this market.
No Bidding Wars. In 2005 we had one client that made an offer on ten homes. They lost the first nine to the ‘feeding frenzy’ that existed. Other buyers bid the properties up su
Recently, Nowhere’s Chamber of Commerce determined that the community does not get a fair shake when the annual list of the places to live comes out. Out of 34,567 towns to live in, Nowhere comes in at #28,453 for 2007.
This year a campaign is being formed to get the word out about living in this fine town. The first promotion is a Top-Ten list of reasons to live in Nowhere, but they are stuck at nine. Here is the list so far:
1. You don’t like people
Nowhere is perfect because the town is five hundred square miles wide and our zoning laws do not allow houses to be less then one mile apart from each other. In fact, there are more pets then people.
2. You like being Number One
Nowhere is the smallest town in the United States. We’re number #1! We’re number #1!
3. Lots of land
With the zoning ordinances you are likely to own several acres of land, perfect for burying the bodies of your victims if you are a serial killer.
4. You hate high-speed internet
Nowhere has hea
I love Tony.
Fiercely.
Passionately.
There isn’t much I wouldn’t do if he but asked it of me. Yet he has trouble really believing this sometimes. So this is for him. This is to remind him that love isn’t always about doing things we enjoy, it’s about doing the things we don’t like just because someone would like us too, or because doing something certain way is more important to them than it is to us…and we don’t complain or expect anything in return.
I’ve done ironing for you
I was up this morning at 5.30am when I didn’t actually need to be up till 7am
I make the bed each and every day, sometimes even when your not here
I’ve cooked the dreaded meat and 3 veggie dinner on a regular basis
I wear girlie things just because you like it when I do
I’ve redefined my idea of a true sleep in so we get more time together
I let you eat my chocolate when you’ve finished yours
I don’t chuck a hissy fit when
1. Self publishing may be the only way to get published. You may not be able to get anyone to professional look at your idea.2. As a self-publisher you get to keep all of the profits from your sales. You only get 4 - 6% in royalties from a publishing company.3. You have absolute marketing and editing control when you self publish. 60% of the big publishers do the final editing, 23% select the final title, 37% do not involve the author in promoting their own material.4. Major publishers may receive up to several hundred manuscripts a week. Unless you’ve published before, the odds are they won’t even look at your material.5. When you self-publish you are in control every step of the way. By depending on a publisher, you take the chance of never getting anywhere.6. By self-publishing you gain a different perspective. You handle the complete marketing package.7. Self publishing saves you valuable time. Using a publisher it takes up to 18 months before the first copy reaches the market.
How many of you out there are not fond of the Microsoft Update site? I am sure there are many of you. How many of you are fed up with the Genuine Advantage nonsense every time you want to make sure you are up to date? Not to mention if you have a "legally questionable" Windows or Office installation. Don't fret, there are other methods for getting your updates so you can stay patched up. I will talk about two of my favorites.The first one I like is called Autopatcher. Every few months they create a core distribution, almost like a service pack, which contains all previous patches. Then every month they come out with a big update that you install to keep your system patched up. Autopatcher is really nice if you don't like to reboot. How many times have you built a new machine and installed Windows from scratch, then tried to patch it up? You have to reboot about 3 or 4 times before everything is patched up! With Autopatcher, everything patches at once, and you only have to reboot onc

I’ve seen a few A Listers complain about less traffic (interesting reasons for dip, too, none of which relate to them).
Here’s a thought… The top reasons why A List bloggers lose their readership, many of which relate to content. Many of these could apply to any blog that’s suffering readership loss:
1. A Lister lauds mightiness, turning off readers
2. Rips off “lesser” bloggers content without attribution
3. Rests on laurels, and stops blogging as frequently
4. Again, gets a fat head and starts insulting commenters
5. Deletes comments, repelling readers
6. Is still blogging about Facebook or the iPhone
7. Only talks about him/herself, and stops writing about the blog’s mission/topic
8. More competing blogs, and some of the other blogs are hotter, more interesting, or focus on more specialized topics (from Andrew Badera and Ben Gracewood via Pownce)
9. Isn’t a part of the community anymore (blogs or social networks)
10. Has suffered too
I'm a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek, but I must admit, these reasons are so true especially number 5 ^_^.
10.
In the Star Wars universe, weapons rarely, if ever, are set on stun.
9.
The Enterprise needs a huge engine room with an anti-matter unit and a crew of twenty just to go into warpthe Millennium Falcon does the same thing with R2-D2 and a Wookiee.
8.
After resisting the Imperial torture droid and Darth Vader, Princess Leia still looked fresh and desirable. After pithy Cardassian starvation torture, Picard looked like hell.
7.
Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his action.
6.
Luke Skywalker is not obsessed with sleeping with every alien he encounters.
5.
One word: light sabers.
4.
The Federation would have to attempt to liberate any ship named Slave I.
3.
Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg empire with one glance.
2.
Picard pilots the Enterprise through an asteroid belt at one-quarter impulse power. Han Solo floors it
Two posts that really changed my day yesterday (well, what I mean is that I quoted them several times during the course of the day).Juggling Frogs has written probably the best blog article I have ever read about how to sell vacuum cleaners and how (not) to do kiruv. She writes so well and has an extremely important message. Judaism doesn't need to be sold. Torah and Judaism can speak for themselves. Experiencing, seeing, learning about Judaism are all great ways for someone to become more interested. But please don't try to 'sell' Judaism, or 'mekarev' people to a Torah lifestyle. Just try to be the right person at the right time in the right place. Let G-d do the rest. (sorry, that is my rant - juggling frogs writes much better than me, and has a better message - read what she wrote!!!!)And then for some light relief in these 9 sad days -From Bangitout.com Jewish HumorTop Ten Reasons Why the Nine Days were Made for Hippies10. No haircuts/shaving - We started that look, dude.9.
(Archived in: Related Miscellany Weblogs and Business)Author's Note: This article was recently submitted to several online article distribution services. It has relevance to the concept of being a digital nomad, and was written with the idea that digital nomads are most likely self-employed and of an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset.It has been reprinted here for exposure and easy reference."Top Ten Reasons You Might Just Be an Entrepreneur"If you are like most individuals, you probably are not happy with your current career or JOB (Just Over Broke), and occasionally think about working for yourself. The 80-20 rule just might apply to everything, including careers and jobs? Being self-employed, however, does not necessarily mean owning a business with the burden of employees, inventory, capital expenditures, and the other trappings of the 20th century “brick and mortar” business model. Many are finding success in the trend of working as independent contractors, freelancers,

1. Detoxify using Alkaline Water. A Water Ionizer converts tap water to strong alkaline water which is up to 6 times more hydrating than regular water. Alkaline water has smaller water clusters with only 5-6 molecules versus regular tap water which has about 10-13 molecules. This makes the water “wetter” and more easily absorbed into the body tissues, improving its detoxification qualities. The smaller water clusters found in alkaline water offer increased antioxidant properties that more easily rid the body of free radicals. 2. Have Increased Energy with Alkaline Water. Alkaline water from a water ionizer has increased oxygen because it has it has more hydroxyl (OH-) molecules than in regular water. By drinking Alkaline water you will increase the oxygen in your blood and notice your energy levels escalate! 3. Lose Weight with Alkaline Water. You may not be overweight but over acid. Your blood pH must remain at a constant rate of 7.36, which is slightly alkaline. If the blood b

There’s no doubt about it: falling in love is the most amazing, exciting, terrific, wonderful, outstanding . . . well, okay, you get the picture already. Falling in love is pretty doggone great. And if you’re wondering, there are tons of reasons to fall in love, too. Of course, if you’re looking for a reason to fall in love, my first question is this: why the heck do you need one, knucklehead?
Ah, but there are plenty of neigh-sayers out there who think that falling in love is overrated. Romance is for fools, they say . . . and Cupid is never gonna catch me! They love their freedom, they cherish their independence, and they fawn over their self-reliance. So if you’re already in love, there’s no need to keep reading; this post is for the skeptics who need a little inspiration. (more…)

sarcasm at it's finest...Top Ten Reasons to Make Gay Marriage Illegal01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile coup
