"One of our goals was to create a book that people found immediately funny," said Justin Heimberg.
"We didn't want anyone to have to work too hard to get a laugh."
Jason Heimberg adds that "Many writers like us actually find The Official Movie Plot Generator to be a valuable creative tool in their work. Above all, it's a great gift item or diversion for anyone who likes to laugh a lot with little effort."????After 5 years in Hollywood being pitched countless clich? movie ideas by producers and studio executives, the Brothers Heimberg decided to make a book roasting the movie industry.
They realized producers and studios wanted the same trite, formulaic ideas, so they created a flipbook of hacked and ridiculous movie premises, providing 27,000 of these plots. The book has thirty pages of three flaps that you mix and match to create a plot.
Whether it's "a single mom fighting crime with the help of the ghost of Elvis" or "a burned-out hippie discovering a hidden talent for dance in the feel good comedy of the year," your favorite combination could be the next blockbuster.The book is available at http://www.movieplotgenerator.com as well as in bookstores, gift shops, video stores and select movie theaters nationwide.

Who Needs a Standby Generator?
Most of us take electricity for granted.
When we flip the light switch, we expect the light to turn on.
When we plug in the electric grill, we expect it to be ready before the neighbors arrive for the backyard cookout.
If there's a power outage, everyone immediately calls the electric company to complain and ask how long they'll have to wait before the electricity comes back on.
But what happens when the electricity goes out for days at a time, like when a hurricane or other natural disaster destroys the power lines?
Or what happens in a place like a hospital, where even a short power outage could cause the failure of a life-sustaining respirator or a doctor's operating tools, resulting in the death of a patient?
What about the thousands of food manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants, which might have to throw away thousands of dollars worth of refrigerated food every time the electricity goes out for a short time?

When were responsible for ourselves and respectful of others needs and wants as well, we can make sound decisions that keep us out of the dangers teens sometimes meet by making reckless choices. Telling teens to do something or even giving them convincing reasons why they should is never as powerful a motivator as showing by example the strengths and benefits derived from going after what you believe will make you happy.

Transfer of Power How to Safely Restore Power to Your Home
Hurricane Charley is quickly teaching homeowners a valuable lesson about taking electricity for granted.
The Category Four hurricane knocked out power to nearly a million homes in Florida, and many residents are still living without power.
Homeowners are now using portable generators in record numbers to safely restore power to their homes.
"Getting a generator is one thing," says Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com). "Getting the electricity into the house is another."According to Hoch, extension cords are fine for small generators because you can only plug in one or two appliances.

Extension cords have several drawbacks. First, most extension cords can...
