Is Your Dvr Slingloaded- Find Out About Dish Network New Dvr By: Winston Roth | - DVR's have totally changed the way I watch TV. I used to work my schedule around the shows I wanted to watch fitting in half-hour units of productivity between programs that were inauspiciously timed.

What Were You Thinking When You Named That Child?! By: Taylor Jensen | - I really do understand if you'd like to have a unique name for your child, something different from the common names out there, like Jennifer or Matt. But sometimes I think a few celebrities take it a bit too far.

"What's up with that?" I said to myself, "What good is a TV without TV channels?"

In support of the Washington, D.C.-based Air Line Pilots Association, the ruling states that the airline can fly from Canada to U.S. cities, but not between U.S. cities without first returning to Canada.
This, after an eight-year exemption that had allowed sports charters to make several domestic U.S. stops without crossing back over.
