Four new Marvel movies are coming out in 2010 and 2011. All of them are Avengers-related.

A LOT of new horror movies are coming out in 2010.
If you’re like me you’re weary of the same old shlock that Hollywood’s been putting out for the last couple of decades. We’ve had so many “romantic comedies” mixed in with countless reboots and rehashed plots you’d think there was a writer’s strike going on.
Luckily for fans of horror, 2010 looks like a more than decent year. Each month has an exciting movie and while some are sequels or reboots there is plenty of original material coming out in…

Where Are the Best Places to Elope?
January 27th, 2010 | No Comments »Where are the best places to elope?
The best places to elope are places with lax marriage laws and beautiful scenery.
Eloping is a lost art. There was a time in our history when sneaking away with your lover to get married was downright honorable.
People elope to sneak out of a bad situation or to get married without parental approval. These days, some people elope just for the heck of it — they see it as a unique alternative to a traditional wedding.
Certain parts of the country are better destinations to head for if you’re planning on eloping;…

Where Are the Best Places to Propose?

If you have a little cash saved away you can make your proposal really memorable.
Here are the ten best places to propose, according to me:
1. The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a monument to love that outlasts life. If you propose in the early morning or late evening hours, you’ll avoid the overcrowded Taj Mahal atmosphere and the white marble of the monument will glow with the sun’s rays.
2. Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls has been synonymous with romance for decades. Niagara Falls offers massive waterfalls and romantic walks. It’s…

A strongly divided Supreme Court voted today to end Federal limits on campaign spending by big corporations. The Court voted 5-4 in favor of ending limits placed on campaign contributions by both big business and worker unions.
Sure, I know the Supreme Court is tilted to the right, but I never thought I’d see a Supreme Court, any Supreme Court, make such a bold decision in opposition to their own past findings.
Remember the McCain-Feingold Law of 2003? Apparently the Supreme Court doesn’t either. That law, also known as the Bipartisan Campaign Reform…
What Is an Average MCAT Score?
January 21st, 2010 | 1 Comment »What is an average MCAT score?
The Medical College Admissions Test, or MCAT, is a computer-based standardized test for students applying to medical school. The purpose of the MCAT is to provide applicants to medical schools with a common score on the same test. Students taking the MCAT are tested on problem solving, writing, critical thinking, and basic science concepts.
Why the MCAT?
The MCAT was developed early in the 20th century to combat rising dropout rates at medical schools–estimates suggest that as many as 1 in 5 medical students in the 30s were dropping out because they weren’t prepared…

January 20th, 2010 | 2 Comments »What is an average DAT score?
The DAT, or Dental Admissions Test, is a 90 minute test with 100 questions that determines your aptitude and the likelihood that you will succeed in dental school.
Dental programs use the DAT as a guide when considering your application for admission. There is no “cut off” score on the DAT, nor does your score on the DAT indicate whether or not you’ll get into a program.
The DAT tests your proficiency in basic biology and both organic and inorganic chemistry as well as problem solving and higher math.
