| Life Lock - Identity theft can happen anywhere to anyone. In line at the store, online at home or when you're buying
your morning coffee. If your identity is stolen, you can spend hundreds of hours cleaning up your credit and struggling
to get back your good name. That's because stolen identities are used up to 30 times, with most victims only discovering
the theft after they've been turned down for a loan or contacted by a collection agency. You may already be a victim,
many times over, and not even know it. But not with LifeLock. LifeLock, the industry leader in proactive identity
theft protection, offers a proven solution that prevents your identity from being stolen before it happens. We'll

| Movie Review - Fireproof - The church congregation in Georgia that faced down giants has turned its attention away from football
and toward firemen in the save-your-marriage-or-die-trying film Fireproof. Capt. Caleb Holt is a veteran firefighter
in the Albany, Ga., fire dept. According to him, everybody thinks he's a hero except his own wife. "How is
it that I get respect everywhere I go except in my own house?" he complains. Catherine Holt will have none
of that, though. She's had it up to here with Caleb's thoughtlessness and selfishness, and besides, there's a pretty
cute doc who's just caught her eye at the hospital she works at. Their years-old marital promises are the furthest
thing from either one of their minds, and the idea of divorce has suddenly reared its ugly head. Read More |

| Roadside America - is a caramel-coated-nutbag-full of odd and hilarious travel destinations -- over 7,000 places -- ready
for exploration. Since their first book, Roadside America, introduced readers to the world of offbeat tourist attractions
20 years ago, the (authors and road trip know-it-alls Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, Mike Wilkins) haven't slowed down.
In fact, they are speeding up! Or maybe it's just a bad optical illusion. Planning Your Own Road Trips Site visitors
often say their write-ups help them plan their own trips. They provide directions to attractions and even maps
when available; otherwise, just drive to the town and ask a local. It's more fun that way. Theye list some attraction
hours and admission prices, but be wary -- these change frequently at many offbeat places. Hours are sometimes
a crap shoot. Graveyards are open all the time; but lone fanatical collectors may be off digging up petrified leeches,
or getting their medication when you arrive. You take your chances. Call ahead if you're going way out of your
way. For reasons that grow hazier with time, they produced a thicker, more depraved sequel, New Roadside America.
The books chronicled tourist attractions throughout the continental United States -- from the World's Largest Twine
Ball to an obscure monument to a patriotic pig. |
