The 5th Quater Opens in Theaters March 25
THE 5th Quarters Opens In Theaters on March 25, 2011
Starring Andie MacDowell, Aidan Quinn and Ryan Merriman
Directed by Rick Bieber.
In Selected Theaters on March 25th.
The death of a promising young athlete just days before his 16th birthday inspires his older brother to lead his college football team to new heights in The 5th Quarter, the moving saga of the Abbate family of Marietta, Georgia. Aidan Quinn, Andie MacDowell, and Ryan Merriman star in this touching true story from writer and director Rick Bieber. When 15-year-old Luke Abbate (Stefan Guy) is killed in a tragic car accident, the loss leaves his close-knit family reeling with grief. Fueled by faith and their deep familial bond, the Abbates try to rebuild their lives without Luke, fulfilling his wish to help others by donating his organs to save the lives of five other people. But despite the support of loving friends and family, his death leaves a void in their lives that threatens to tear the family apart. Struggling with the devastating loss, Luke’s older brother Jon (Ryan Merriman), a gifted football player at Wake Forest University, decides to honor his brother’s memory and love for the game by dedicating the 2006 season to him. With the added motivation of “playing for two,” he dons Luke’s beloved No. 5 jersey and inspires his teammates to play the best football of their lives—and become the most improved team in America. Predicted to finish last in their division, the Wake Forest football team surpassed all expectations by winning an unforgettable championship season. A tribute to the power of hope and love, The 5th Quarter is an inspiring true story about a family coming together to rally a team, a school and a community to achieve more than they could ever have imagined.

5 Good Tips to Remember when Writing Articles
To help you write articles you can consult web surveys, read other blogs, create your own blog and actively monitor it, read article directories, and relax and enjoy what you are doing.
Writing Free Articles can be an enjoyable task if you are familiar with a topic or are simply in the mood for a challenge. On the other hand, writing articles can become difficult and rather tedious when you have no idea what to write or if you have writer’s block and your mind simply refuses to focus and come up with coherent thoughts. The good news is that there are some really good tips that you can remember when writing articles. Here are some of them:
Consult web surveys
A lot of marketing professionals, researchers and copywriters consult the Internet for relevant and timely surveys, and you should do the same. Online surveys are not only a rich source of information, they can be a source of inspiration as well. By consulting surveys you can get ideas of new and novel topics, find out what subjects are trending and what people are currently interested in. You can use the information you find as a basis for your article.
Read other blogs
The distinct quality of blogs is that they have a more personal touch which makes them interesting to read. You might be one of those people who follow online journals and regularly read the writings and rants of the authors. Rather than just reading the content of these blogs for fun, try looking at the articles and topics with the purpose of getting an idea for your own articles. You can sift through the articles in one blog and determine which ones are the most popular and interesting, or you can compare the content of different blogs to see what topics bloggers most often feature in their journals.
Create your own blog and actively monitor it
Blogs are becoming a trendy and practical online medium, and you should take advantage of this tool. There are many websites that offer free blog services, so you can easily create an online journal for yourself. You can use your own blog
as a content source for future articles that you may write. You can also use your blog as a means of analyzing what your readers want and enjoy reading. Take time to monitor your blog posts and traffic and respond to comments so you will get to know your readers better.Read article directories
Article directories are becoming a vast source of information for many article writers. You can read articles similar to your topics and interests from different directories. These articles can give you ideas for your content and help you expound your thoughts. But always remember to make sure you don’t plagiarize the things you read.
Relax and enjoy what you are doing
Relaxing your mind will help improve your creativity and the flow of ideas. It will also make you more focused and coherent in your writing. It is also very important that you enjoy what you are doing. Your attitude towards your work will surely manifest itself in your output, so remember to love what you are doing.
Writing articles can be a great means for you to learn new things and to share the things you learn to other people.

5 Essential Reasons You Should Know About the Importance of Courtship
Courtship is important in building relationships because it helps couples know each other better, it allows couples to decide if they want to be committed, it allows couples to decide if they are ready to be committed, it develops security, and it develops understanding and acceptance.
Courtship is one of the primary stepping stones for building a successful and long-lasting relationship. There are many different courtship practices and traditions all over the world and parents, couples and even relationship advisers have noted the importance of courtship. Going through a courtship period is good relationship advice for couples who are thinking of pursuing a more serious relationship. Here are more reasons why courtship is important in building strong relationships.
It helps couples know each other better
Courtship is generally regarded as the period before a couple’s engagement and marriage. This period is a crucial time for the couple to get to know each other better and gain insight about their partners. It is also during the courtship period that men and women see the personalities, strengths, weaknesses, interests and goals of their partners. As a result, it also helps couples assess how compatible they are with each other.
It allows couples to decide whether they want to be committed
Once a couple knows each other’s personalities, similarities and differences, they will be able to decide whether they actually want to spend the rest of their lives together, and if there is a potential for a more serious commitment.
It allows couples to know if they are ready to be committed
Wanting to be committed is one thing and being ready for a commitment is another thing altogether. Courtship allows the couple time to assess whether they are heading in the same direction and whether they share the same long-term goals. Having a commitment can influence your plans and decision-making. Conflicts often arise when a couple jumps into a serious commitment without even considering if they are ready for the responsibilities involved or if they are willing to have someone else influence their decisions.
It develops security
It is during courtship that a man presents his best and tries to gain the woman’s affection. Hence, courtship is usually one of the most special and memorable periods for both the man and woman. The hard work that the man does during courtship will make him value his woman and the relationship more. At the same time, the woman will feel more secure in the knowledge that her man is willing to strive to prove himself to her.
It develops understanding and acceptance
One of the most important elements that contributes to the success of a relationship is understanding and acceptance. Because courtship allows the couple to know and assess each other better, it consequently gives them time to settle their differences and nurture their strengths if they really want to pursue a relationship with one another. When a couple is able to settle their differences, they learn to understand and accept one another. And if they are able to understand and accept one another, there is less chance that their differences will become a major issue that will be more difficult to deal with later in the relationship.
However you choose to spend
your courtship period, the important thing is to invest time and effort with the person who you are dating during this time.

SodaStream Review
I had the opportunity to review the SodaStream
Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple. Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you'll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.
Using the SodaStream is very simple. The main device is a CO2 container that forces the gas into the ready to use liter bottle. Just press the top button until you hear 3 buzzes. Then unscrew it and add one of many soda and flavored water concentrates. The flavors taste very good. I tried diet lemon lime, coke, orange, energy, and root beer. They all tasted great, my favorites are the root beer, diet lemon lime and lemon lime flavored water. Then just throw it in the fridge and use it like any other liter bottle. After you’re done, wash it out the bottle and reuse.
