Comedy Shows and The Family

March 10th, 2010 Hank Evans

Without a doubt, the television is one of the greatest advancements in technology. Most people these days cannot live without a TV; it has indeed become more of a necessity, especially among the younger generation. It has to be made clear, though, that despite its many benefits, the TV comes without risks as there are quite a lot of TV shows that are not exactly child-friendly. It therefore becomes of utmost importance for the parents to keep a close watch of their children especially when it comes to TV watching.

Media exposures have a strong negative and positive influence on children. Media can shape a kid’s attitude in a positive way by emphasizing cooperation, tolerance, respect, and other socially constructive behavior. On the other hand, negative effects include violence, initiation to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, obesity, and early exposure to sexual behavior.

It would be nice to watch TV as a family. Pick out a particular day of the week as “TV watching with the entire family” day. Then make sure that you are gathered together on that day. Encourage your kid to choose the shows the whole family will love to watch on that day.  Read more...

Meet The Leader Of The Decepticons – Transformers Megatron

December 15th, 2009 Russell Masina

If you keep yourself informed and into the latest box office blockbusters, then you are no stranger to the Transformers series of movies that have been released. While there are only two installments, you can be assured of more to come in the future. You might not know that these movies were preceded by comics, books and a few animated series. There are many Transformers that you could benefit from knowing in terms of understanding the movies better. Other than Optimus Prime, perhaps the most important to know is the Transformers Megatron.

For the sake of this article, however, I will stick to the finer points of Megatron. This is a hugely important name to know in terms of learning what there is to know about the Transformers.

A lot like the Autobots led by Optimus Prime, Megatron represents a really mighty and valued leader. Through the line of numerous comics and installments, it became apparent that Megatron was the most efficient and revered boss that the Decepticons had ever had. He reigned through fear and by fierce outbursts. He embodied a vicious military force in the warfare on Cybertron too.  Read more...

Can Danny Granger Lead the Indiana Pacers to the Playoffs?

November 29th, 2009 Lance Baker

The Indiana Pacers had a very mediocre season in 08′-09′ season finishing 36-46. The bright spot for the Pacers was their home record, 25 -26. The Pacers were terrible on the road, 11-30.

The Indiana Pacers’ Danny Granger had a breakout season, and put himself on the map as one of the best players in the NBA. Few people realize this, as the Indiana Pacers are a below average team that gets little coverage.

The 26 year old Granger made serious waves during his 4th season in the NBA. Always known to be a player with tremendous upside, Granger flirted with this potential during his first few seasons in the league. The 2008-2009 season, however, was a different story altogether.

Granger was a one man show in Indiana, single handedly responsible for many of the team’s 36 wins. His 25.8 points per game were the fifth highest in the NBA, and he was one of the only players in the league to average over one block and one steal per game.

Guard T.J. Ford had one of his best seasons to date with scoring 15 points per game and 5 assists. If the Pacers ever expect to compete in the same division as the Cleveland Cavaliers, their defense must improve and improve fast.  Read more...

How To Be A Ladies’ Man

November 28th, 2009 Michael Janston

Men can easily acquire the right traits to become a dating expert. Sadly, a lot of men fall victim to the humdrum of single life.

Instead of getting up and starting to search ways on how to become effective dating companions, they end up sulking in one corner and making more awful mistakes in getting to know women.

While you object may be physical intimacy, women want to feel emotional intimacy before taking a relationship to a physical level. Think about your best assets and decide what you need to change to make yourself a better person. Join a gym, get involved with community projects, clean up your act and stop moping around.

If you are ready to start learning, you better read on.

The first thing that you need to do is to check yourself in the mirror. You’ve probably heard of all the sentimental gibberish about “beauty” not being a subject of physical appearance. In truth, it is and you have to accept that harsh fact. If you can’t make yourself look like a celebrity, at least you should try to look presentable for your date. Make sure that you smell good and are suitably dressed for the occasion.  Read more...

The Los Angeles Lakers Look to Repeat

November 28th, 2009 Aaron Harden

The L.A. Lakers won another NBA championship in 09′. This proved to be extra special most will say for Kobe Bryant because this is first championship since 02′ – more importantly the first without Shaquille O’Neal.

Kobe Bryant proved that the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t need Shaquille O’Neal to win an NBA title. He did have the help of Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom (two big men), but they’re not Shaquille O’Neal in his prime.

Pau Gasol is the first second best player on any team in the league. On many teams Pau would be the best player on his team but not with the Lakers obviously. Pau has put up great numbers his entire NBA career but his toughness was questioned. Pau showed how tough he was in the playoffs averaging’ points per game and 8 rebounds per game.

Lamar Odom was – and maybe still is – one of the most inconsistent good players in the NBA. There are some games Odom was a top 5 player and other times you wouldn’t even notice him on the court.  Read more...

Chauncey Billup’s Has Huge Impact For Denver Nuggets

November 28th, 2009 Lance Baker

The Denver Nuggets were one of the surprising teams of the NBA last season. Things started to finally mesh for them.

Not many expected the Denver Nuggets – who were notorious for losing in the first round it seems – to make it to the Western Conference Finals. The Nuggets were out manned and out played against the Lakers but that still doesn’t take away from the excellent season they had.

The knock on Denver for many years was they can score but refused to play defense – this wasn’t the case because Denver was’th is defense. Trading Iverson for Billups, definitely was a key move to fixing this problem.

The addition of point guard Chauncey Billups essentially changed their season for the better once he arrived in town. Billups brought a defensive mentality from the Detroit Pistons who were one of the best defensive teams of the decade.

Chauncey Billups came from the Detroit Pistons in a trade for Allen Iverson – the trade for Billups worked out well for Denver, not so much for the Pistons.

Birdman, also known as Chris Andersen stepped up off the bench and had a huge year. He’s become one of the best shot blockers in the league.  Read more...

Struggling NBA Teams With Their New Stars

November 27th, 2009 Andy Rockwell

The basketball season has had some interesting twists so far and many people have been off with their initial predictions to say the least. The Cavs and Lakers aren’t dominating their opponents, and I think I know the reasons. Let’s take a look at the best teams in the league to see where they’re at right now.

As I write this, we’re only a couple of weeks into the season. Many would say that we haven’t seen enough basketball to make this determination, but I’m going to go out on a limb with a few proclamations that I do believe will hold true at the end of the season. Let’s see if I’m right.

As much as I believe that Shaquille O’Neal, Vince Carter, and Ron Artest are some incredibly talented players, I simply don’t think they’re the right fits for their teams. I think that each team is struggling to find its way with their new player, and hopefully they can adapt as the season progresses.

In Los Angeles, I think the Lakers were better off with Trevor Ariza than they were with Ron Artest. The conventional wisdom would say the Artest is the better player, but I disagree.  Read more...

Can Joe Johnson Lead the Atlanta Hawks to Another Playoff Birth?

November 26th, 2009 Joyce Fried

The 08′-09′ season for the Atlanta Hawks was bitter sweet for the most part. While the team improved upon their previous season, the playoff perform against the Cleveland Cavaliers wasn’t what the Hawks team hoped for.

The Hawks finished second in the Southeast division behind the Orlando Magic with a 47-35 record and were swept in the second round of the playoffs. The first round win against the Miami Heat wasn’t that impressive either – every win and loss was in the double digits.

The 08′ playoffs against the Boston Celtics proved that the Atlanta Hawks were on the rise and should compete for the Eastern Conference Championship in the near future.

The Hawks also have veteran point guard in Mike Bibby who averaged 15 points per game and 5 assists. Al Horford is one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the NBA and he will need to have an outstanding season for the Hawks to have more success this year.  Read more...
