Your own Corporation for less than you think!

Starting a company is not easy no matter what type of business you want to run. A corporation is one type of business that seems harder than all others to start and maintain. Many movie studios and Television networks are owned by large corporations. While going over some business ideas a few years ago with a friend, a corporation was the recommended business to start. However, the fees to incorporate can end up making a small business person spend more money on that process than they can afford. That is one reason that one nevada corporation company is an ideal place to get assistance.

The fees that I have viewed for services to setup corporations ran from $300 up to thousands with many other companies. However, incparadise.com offers affordable services to help you set up a corporation and run your own business. Aside from being affordable, the company documents for only $20-$25. That is much less expensive than many other companies that assist with setting up your own company. Their website is well organized, making it easier to locate the information needed to start a corporation. They also provide contact information including a useful toll-free number. This can help you save cash on phone bills to use toward the marketing of your new company.

How to tell if you're a TV addict Part 2


If you do not portray any of the TV addict behavior mentioned in Part 1, that still does not mean you have normal television viewing habits. The type of behavior that indicates you are a TV addict may not be easy to notice at first. However, the healing process can begin once you figured out what your patterns are when it comes to watching TV. There are more factors to consider and determine if you are a TV addict!

You know the exact lineup of specific channels on any given day.
Knowing what day and time Heroes will air is one thing. Being able to identify the entire prime time or late night lineup of specific TV networks is another part of this addiction. If it is not hard to name each show that comes on the Fox network from 6:00 pm to 10:00pm, you are addicted to TV. Having precise knowledge of a TV network’s lineup over many hours does not only say that you are a TV addict. It also demonstrates that you watch too much TV. There are better things to do with the time that we are given than spend hours in front of the television.

You record every episode of your favorite show
It is not necessary to record every episode of your favorite show. This is especially trued if you are watching it. If there are more than 5 episodes of one TV show in your VHS or Tivo collection, you are a TV addict. There is no special science to the world of television. TV shows are not that special. The broadcast and cable networks air hours of reruns. This means that it is not necessary to record numerous episodes of one TV show. That is a waste of time, tape, space and money.

You have to watch the Season premiere Finale
I have become better at this, but there are tons of people who have to watch the Season premiere and the Season Finale of a particular show. Over time, I have realized that many Season premieres and Finales are very boring. It seems as though producers and writers threw something together to get them into the season or out of one. There are some great premieres and finales. These episodes usually include great cliff hangers and surprises.

However, it is not crucial to watch the season premiere or finale. If you make TV shows more important than they are, they will run your life. That is not a good way to live. TV is just TV. It is a mere pastime for many citizens with nothing else better to do. TV is nothing more than that and not that special. The again, I may produce a television show and become happy that people are addicted to it. That is always good for ratings. In that case, I should not say that being a TV addict is a bad thing, since I may benefit from that in the near future. TV should be utilized and enjoyed in moderation either way.

Johnny Depp out for blood in new Sweeney Todd Movie

I have not been familiar with the upcoming movie Sweeney Todd until earlier this week. It is a wicked tale of revenge that can teach you a lot of lessons. Revenge has been portrayed on film in many different ways. Still, they all show how powerful revenge can be when someone is on a particular misson. The Sweeney Todd movie is dark and has a very interesting story. It stars the talented actor, Johnny Depp who you can check out easily. I'd recommend all movie lovers to visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace and add Johhny Depp as a friend. This is a must-see movie that can help to escape the old, the new and the cheesy holiday flicks we are bombarded with every year.

When the way the power of revenge portayed on film comes to mind, I can currently think of one bloody scene in Face Off where Nicholas Cage's character forced a surgeon to put his enemy's face onto his since Cage's real face was removed. Afterward, he caused lots of havoc in the life of John Travolta's character. That movie was disturbing, but included a powerful portayal of revenge.
Now, Angela Bassett's character in the Waiting to Exhale movie depicted a level of revenge that is more realistic. After learning that her husband was leaving her for his secetary, she took all of his clothes, shoes and other belongings, threw them into his expensive automobile and set it on fire. She then stood there wand watched it burn while smoking a cigarette.

This scene in Waiting to Exhale received lots of cheers by audiences nationwide. It is so powerful because some people have probably taken the same action in real life. Even if no one has, the women cheering Angela Bassett on in the movie theater have probably thought about destroying the clothes and other possessions of their husbands or boyfriends. Johnny Depp's revenge may have deeper meaning in that his character, Sweeney Todd is seeking revenge for what happened to his wife and daughter and also for being sent to prison unfairy. He returns from prison to reopen his barber shop and becomes The Demon Barbe of Fleet Street. The men whose heads he shaves are never heard from again. A host of evil people and partners in crime make Sweeney Todd a must-see film this season.

Sweeney Todd will be in Theaters December 21st
