Home Prices: Now for the Good News

Raleigh

North Carolina’s capital seems to have gotten a free pass where the housing slump is concerned. Prices have been buoyed by job growth in the Research Triangle, home to dozens of tech firms. Total sales in the first quarter of this year were the fifth highest on record. In some cities, suburbanites stung by gas prices are moving downtown in favor of walkable neighborhoods. But not in Raleigh. “People move here to get away from that type of living,” says local market analyst Stacey Anfindsen, only partly in jest. Although downtown Raleigh has added hundreds of condos and lofts, the real growth has come in suburbs like Cary, Morrisville and Apex, all on the western side of Raleigh, where home prices have risen steadily.

The subdivision of Preston, where prices are up 3.5 percent over last year, reigns as the area’s übersuburb. The northwest Cary neighborhood was bankrolled in the 1990s by Jim Goodnight, founder of software giant SAS, and supersizes the standard suburban amenities: Most lots are at least a quarter-acre, double the size of newer developments, and prices approach $500,000. Parents can choose from a roster of lauded private and public schools. John Minicucci, a technology analyst, moved his family to Preston in May after stints in New York and Vancouver, B.C., and chose the neighborhood in part because it is already built out; it doesn’t run the risk of being flooded with discounted properties because of overbuilding. “Since this area didn’t really experience the boom, it won’t be as susceptible to tanking,” he says. And he’s loving perks like abundant tee times. Like more than 60 percent of Preston residents, Minicucci belongs to the local country club, which hosts 54 holes of championship golf, two tennis facilities and three swimming pools.

One of the best in acting !

I Recommend: Unfaithful

If you've missed the moody brilliance of a story told with a stolen glance or a telling smile, this film is for you. Obviously bored by the tired scenarios of the recklessly rich, Unfaithful's filmmakers set their sights within the vulnerable heart of contemporary middle class America. Connie and Edward have attained complacency in their marriage, that place that lays beyond the restlessly selfish twenty something years, beyond the career-family oriented thirty something years, to that comfortable place of submissive acceptance of who they are and how it is. In this generally unshakeable territory, the American Dream still flourishes.

I Recommend : Bringing Down the House

Best Scenic Drive in the U.S.

Blue Ridge Parkway

Stretching some 469 miles along the Southern Appalachian Mountains and linking two eastern national parks — Virginia's Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains — the Blue Ridge Parkway has often been referred to as "America's Favorite Drive." It's certainly the country's first rural parkway — parts of it date back to 1930s (when construction began as a make-work project during the Depression) — and the longest, with breathtaking scenery and dozens of recreational opportunities to distract you when you need to stretch your legs.

Though some may argue that autumn is the best season to drive this stretch, as the brilliant fall foliage is in full effect, May is also a superb time to head this way, to witness the profusion of wildflowers in bloom along the elevated mountainsides. Also included in this scenic route is the impressive Skyline Drive, a 105-mile swath of road that cuts through Shenandoah National Park. Of course, no nature drive of this sort would be quite complete without wildlife sightings: Keep an eye out for resident whitetail deer and black bears.

I Recommend : Two Can Play That Game

When it comes to matters of the heart, keeping her man happy and committed is all in a day's work for Shanté Smith. Shanté is so adept at navigating the waters of romance that her best girlfriends Diedre, Karen and Tracye depend on her for advice whenever "man trouble" clouds the horizon. But when Shanté's boyfriend Keith is caught red-handed stepping out with a co-worker, Shanté institutes her "Ten Day Plan" to get her man in line. Whether its sexy lingerie or good home cooking, Shanté has an arsenal of weapons designed to bring a man to his knees...and back to her.

I Recommend : The Wedding Planner

I know everybody must have seen it thousand time already but still its worth mention.

I Recommend : Fools Rush In

Opposites attract in this conventional but refreshingly unpredictable romantic comedy. New York nightclub designer (Matthew Perry, from television's Friends) is in Las Vegas to supervise the construction of a new project when he meets a fiery Mexican beauty (Salma Hayek). It's lust at first sight, and their one-night stand takes an unexpected turn.The major crisis in the movie is the couple learning to adapt to the culture of their new partner. Isabel is from a Catholic Latino family, while Alex is a straight-laced WASP-ish type.

I Recommend : A Time to Kill

"A Time To Kill" is the predictable but engrossing screen adaptation of John Grisham's first book. A story of an up and coming lawyer (McConaughey) who defends a small town Mississippi black man (Jackson) on trial for killing two redneck who raped his young daughter and left her for dead.A great ensemble cast all excel here and the film captures a place that has turned into a media circus very well. A film that you will watch with clenched fists.

10 Secrets About Men

1. You don't want to be judged for your looks; we don't want to be judged for our wallets. Unless we're ugly and have lots of money. Then it's OK.
2. You're not the only person who likes to be called "sexy."
3. Saying "I love you" is a major step in a man's life. That's why we wait for you to take that step first.
4. We are not being cheap when we make $35,000 a year and can't afford to pay every single date. We are merely being practical.
5. A guy who spends too much time in the gym is making up for something else that's lacking. Unfortunately, you can't figure out what it is until it's too late.
6. Don't get mad at us because we don't remember what you were wearing on our first date, or the angle of the light during our first kiss. We were probably drunk.
7. You're good in bed if you make us feel like stallions.
8. Jealousy isn't a sign that you love us more, it's a sign that you trust us less.
9. Hanging up on us is a surefire way to make sure we go to bed mad.
10. We're sorry. Whatever it is, we're sorry.

aha ... so close yet so far !

... when luck comes into play !

One of the touchy moments in recent past ... so I was following this singing program for quite sometime . Ofcourse one of the guys was my personal fav because of his behaviour, attitude, personality and ofcourse singing. He made it all the way to top two and perhaps everyone including the judges had him favourite. When for the first time in his lat 10 presentations on stage he made a mistake ....in the final.... in the final round .... in the final song !!! ... Just made me realise how fragile you are as you reach top of the pyramid ... Well the final result is due in 10 days and I don't know what fortune holds for him but was just fasinated how unpredictable luck is ... you know you got talent , you know you are better ... but what a significant difference that small factor of luck makes which goes a long ... ( expressions of host and judges are amazing ... they are in complete shock not expecting it someone like him )

I recommend : Murder at 1600

Murder inside the White House! Who did it -- and why? That's what a hardnosed D.C. homicide cop (Snipes) and hair-triggered Secret Service agent (Lane) uncover in this exciting mystery packed with suspects, cover-ups, covert agents, daring action and an overseas crisis that could blow at any instant.

I recommend : SEVEN

The story follows two detectives, one retiring and one his replacement, jointly investigating a series of ritualistic murders inspired by the seven deadly sins. Over the course of the investigation they attempt to track down the killer before he has a chance to murder his seven victims.

I recommend: TROY

It is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they come to a stop by Hector, Prince of Troy.

Language : Urdu

Its unconventional
Its orthodox
Its beautiful yet
......... its so simple

In today cyber world we have perhaps forgotten taste of natural simplicity. I myself didn't realise until you come across something which makes you think like this, against our so called advanced thinking. Its like everybody is running blindly towards its goal ... all of a sudden we come across something which lets us pause for a second to make us appreciate the inconveniential beauty. At the very moment makes us realise where we have reached as we were completely unaware of our surrounding.

Like those cartoon character which keep on running on a cliff only to realise that cliff has already finished and he is all in but air ... its then when he realises it he fall !

I Recommend : A Few Good Men

Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
