Movie Industry Asks Grandpa for $600,000 for Four Movies
A 67-year-old man was sued by the movie industry for his 12 year
old grandson's movie downloads. Apparently, the kid downloaded
four movies - three of which they already owned. For this, the
movie industry asked for a settlement of four thousand dollars.
When the man refused, mainly because he didn't have four grand,
they then sued for $600,000 to make an example of the poor old
guy. Personally, I think it is an outrage that legal
technicalities would be placed above human beings. Hollywood ...Read the rest of this entry »
Belly Fat in Men is not Limited to That Infamous Beer Belly
Belly fat in men is becoming so common that we don't think twice about seeing a basket ball-sized stomach hanging over a man's belt. The good news, according to the Mayo Clinic, is that when people move more and eat less, belly fat is the first kind of fat to go. What we have to understand is that how to lose belly fat is more about a lifestyle change then just a quick fix. Belly fat is the most stubborn of all fats because it is deeply entrenched. New research has found that excess abdominal ...Read the rest of this entry »

Everybody wants good value when they buy books online -

Amazon have transformed book buying to provide everyone with
better value than bookshops and other booksellers.

becuase they buy in bulk for their thousands of ...Read the rest of this entry »

Soy Foods for better health
Soyfoods aid longevity. Although a few authors dispute this,
most literature found on the reputable internet sources show
that traditional soyfoods, especially those with live cultures,
correlate with reduced risks of various diseases without
negative side effects. But the maximum benefit comes from using
soy foods to replace a large fraction of the diet normally
occupied by high sources of saturated fats.

The Madness of Madagascar (Movie Review)
When I saw that this movie had Chris Rock and Ben Stiller in it
- and it was created by the creators of Shrek, I was so there. I
would've gone even if I didn't have children. I felt it would be
that good. So, the day arrives. The movie premieres; and, my
kids and I are at the theater. The film starts.
I'm not
impressed. It's not nearly as funny as it could be. Sure, the
lithe Jada Pinkett Smith as a hippo named Gloria is cute and a
wee bit sassy. Yes, Chris Rock as the wise-cracking Marty ...Read the rest of this entry »
