If you are a TV lover and have spent any time at all walking past the displays of big screen TV's in your local stores, I can fully understand what happens -- your remote control finger starts to twitch, your rear end starts to long for that comfortable spot in your favorite recliner, and you have a sudden urge to take your shoes off. At least that's what happens to me. I admit it, I am a TV junkie. Not that I spend a lot of time in front of the TV but when I am there, I require qualit... more...

Are you surprised to see that this subject has a topic of its own? That is because after someone spends the big bucks to get a very nice home theatre system, the aspect of home theatre seating is usually last on their minds. But it should not be. Proper seating is critical to the ultimate enjoyment of your home theatre investment. Make sure you don't make this same mistake. Yes, you need to plan for the type of screen you want from the myriad of choices, where to place it, what kind ... more...

Plasma screen televisions are only a few inches thick. This provides installation options that were not possible to do before. In addition to table-top stand mounting, you can hang your plasma television on a wall or from the ceiling, allowing you to enjoy home theater impact from a TV that doesn't dominate floor space. Conventional televisions by comparison take up far more space and are much more limited in placement flexibility. Current Plasma television models start at 3.25"... more...

Psych is the latest comedy to come out of America and is certainly very unique and original. You have probably heard the slogan of the show, "fake psychic, real detectives". It is therefore no secret that the show is about a guy, Shawn Spencer, who pretends to be a psychic and yet is working as a detective. In fact, it is Shawn's eidetic memory (also known as photographic or total recall) which allows him to recognize clues and make deductions that others cannot and th... more...

Big Brother is entering the half-way stage so here is a short round-up of five of the remaining nine established characters and how they fair in the betting market. Aisleyne Current Odds: 20/1 Aisleyne was voted into the house next door but will return to the main compound which will shock the other housemates as they thought they had got rid of her and her constant singing of hip hop songs that nobody has heard of. Aisleyne is the strongest female character but her fake ghetto ... more...

Big Brother is entering the half-way stage so here is a short round-up of four of the nine established characters and how they fair in the betting market. Pete Current Odds: 1/2 Pete has remained the undisputed favourite to win Big Brother ever since he fell down the stairs to mark his entrance. His odds-on status is justified since he appears to be the nicest and most genuine person incarcerated in the house and he has proved there is more to him than his Tourette’s outbusts an... more...

Home theater furniture can actually be some of the hardest furniture that you will ever purchase. The reason is that the furniture that you get for your home theater system is not merely purchased for its aesthetic value. The type of furniture must cater to the room in which your home theater system will be housed. Moreover, the furniture must be designed in a way that is ergonomically correct for its arrangement and also the comfort of the viewers. An example of this would be purchasing ... more...

Saskia Howard-Clarke is a "promotions girl" from London. She was the fifth evictee from the Big Brother house on July 1 2005 when she participated in the sixth series of the popular television programme. In the first couple of weeks, Saskia proved to be popular with housemates and viewers alike. This was evident in week two when all of the housemates were put up for eviction via a public vote due to rule breaking because when Saskia's name was announced, the live studio audie... more...

Despite being the best looking girl in Big Brother 6, sexy Sam Heuston was voted out third, lasting a total of 22 days and despite describing herself as "the horniest girl you’ve ever met", bisexual-by-numbers Sam was quite dull in the house and couldn't even tempt eventual winner Anthony Hutton into some action. Housemate Sam was a marketing student from Cheam, Surrey and 23-years-old when she entered the Big Brother house. She missed her final exam to participate on the TV... more...

Grace Adams-Short became the fourth housemate evicted from Big Brother 7 in yet another no-shock result on Friday night. Grace polled 87.9% of votes in a head-to-head with Nikki Grahame, who survived eviction for two consecutive weeks. It was such a no-contest that host Davina McCall didn’t even bother with her usual customary pause and instead immediately announced that Grace was evicted. Both Grace and Nikki were put up for eviction by newcomer Suzie Verrico as the model was the ... more...

Designing a home theater can be a very fun task for any home owner. But even though this can be a rewarding job, it can also be very trying at times. There are many factors that you need to take into consideration when you are designing a home theater so that you end up with a result that you are happy with. The first thing that you will have to keep in mind when designing a home theater system is placement. From the start you will have to decide which room you want your home theater t... more...

Sezer Yurtseven was the second housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house and won two dubious honours in the process. Firstly, he was evicted by the largest public vote margin of all time – a massive 91.6%, making him the show’s most detested housemate in Big Brother’s seven series run. He also became the earliest male housemate to be evicted from the house, having been shown the door by the end of week two. Sezer was a shoe-in to leave as far as the bookmakers were concern... more...

The Big Brother house is always unpredictable during its lengthy run and the most dangerous thing punters can do is try and pre-empt who will be up for eviction before the nominations are announced and then bet accordingly. This very occurrence took place this week, with Grace Adams-Short seemingly in the firing line. Grace had been seen all week seemingly picking on Nikki and bitching about her behind her back and also bed-hopping between Mikey and George, before the latter left the hous... more...

Bonnie Holt became the first housemate to leave the Big Brother house by public vote at a best price of 1/33 on eviction day. Bonnie was actually the third housemate in a week to leave the Big Brother house following Shabaz’s decision to walk and Dawn’s ejection for receiving messages from the outside world. She had the dubious honour of being the first housemate to go in and was also the first to leave via the traditional public voting method of eviction. Bonnie was a disappointin... more...

This is the second part of the first impressions of the remaining seven housemates as the first week of Big Brother 7 draws to a close. Glyn Wise Win Odds: 33/1 (Bet365) Fervent Welshman Glyn is also up for the first eviction and still Dons the red shorts he wore on opening night as he has not been given his suitcase. Like Bonnie, Glyn is very quiet and early indications suggest he is another example of terrible miscasting. However, being a man, he will survive the first eviction at... more...
