FacebookIt seems almost impossible, but it’s true. Facebook was the most-visited website in the U.S. last week. According to Hitwise, Facebook edged out Google in terms of traffic for the week ending March 13. Facebook accounted for 7.07% of all web traffic in the U.S., while Google accounted for 7.03%.

The numbers are mind-boggling, considering Facebook’s traffic last week was 185% higher than the comparable week in 2009.

Do you think Facebook will continue to surge, or the fad will fade away?  Leave your comment and let us know.

Movie Preview: Hot Tub Time Machine

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 08:55 PM PDT

While it won’t be taking home an Oscar anytime soon, “Hot Tub Time Machine” looks like a sophomoric yet fun flick. The comedy that revolves around the concept of a hot tub accidentally turning into a time machine will be released in the United States on March 26th.

After partying it up in a hot tub at a ski resort, the men wake up to find that they’ve been transported to year 1986. At that point, they start brainstorming on what they should do. Should they avoid making a splash as to not disrupt the future? Should they take advantage of the situation? That’s when the fun ensues.

The movie stars an impressive group of actors including John Cusack, Crystal Low, Lyndsy Fonseca, Chevy Chase, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson and Rob Corddry. The film is directed by Steve Pink, who previously directed the comedy “Accepted” — the 2006 movie about college rejects creating their own college.

I’ll be sure to watch “Hot Tub Time Machine” for the easy laughs. If the trailer is any indication, this movie will at least keep us entertained.

Who Will Start at QB for the Broncos?

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 08:55 PM PDT

Heading into March, Kyle Orton was seen as the undisputed starter for the Denver Broncos. But then the Broncos traded for Brady Quinn, formerly of the Cleveland Browns. Now there’s already a quarterback controversy in Denver.

When asked about whether he wants to start at QB for the Broncos, Quinn didn’t back down.

“I’ll put it this way,” said Quinn, “I think every quarterback on our roster wants to play.

“We’re going to be team players first, but we all want to be out there playing.”

In addition to Quinn and Orton, the Broncos also have Tom Brandstater on the roster. Chris Simms, who backed up Orton last season, was released on Monday.

At this point, Orton has to be the favorite. He performed well last year and has a year of experience under his belt. However, there’s no question that Quinn is more talented and has the higher ceiling. If he plays well in preseason, the Broncos could have a real dilemma on their hands.

Gilbert Arenas Okay with Punishment

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 08:55 PM PDT

Gilbert Arenas, he of the infamous NBA locker room gunfight, isn’t fighting his punishment of being suspended for the rest of the season. In fact, the All-Star guard for the Washington Wizards said he deserved it in an interview with Esquire.

In the Esquire article, Arenas says that he’s especially disappointed because Abe Pollin, the late owner of the Wizards, was such an active participant in the anti-gun movement in Washington, D.C.

Said Arenas: “I have a painting of him in my garage. I just walk by it with my head down. I called Mrs. Pollin and said, ‘If Abe was still with us, I would’ve had to talk to him, so I’m gonna give you the same respect. I want to say sorry to you. I deserve to be punished. I’ll do everything it takes to get back your husband’s respect.”

In addition to being suspended from the NBA, Arenas plead guilty to charges that stemmed from the gun incident. Theoretically, the 28-year-old may have to do some jail time.

Prior to everything falling apart for Arenas, he was averaging 22.6 points, 7.2 assists and 4.1 rebounds for the Wizards this season.

The Keys to Sleeping Soundly

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 08:55 PM PDT

For many people, the simple act of sleeping isn’t so simple. Whether you suffer from insomnia or just want to sleep better, here are a few tips on how to sleep soundly.

Watch Your Diet
Diet plays an important part of sleeping. Usually, the key is what you eat. With regards to sleeping, it’s when you eat. Try to stop eating and drinking at least a couple hours before heading to bed. Digesting food can keep you awake. Plus those trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night will ruin anyone’s sleep.

Be Active
Physical activity before bed time can help you wind down. Whether you want to go for a spin on your exercise bike or get friendly with your partner, burning a few calories will help you sleep.

Inspect Your Room
Your bedroom should be geared toward sleeping. You want the room to be as dark as possible with no distractions. Get rid of the blinking VCR and put up blackout curtains if there are any annoying lights outside.

Get a Habit
When you raise children, it is a great idea to get them in a routine. That theory holds true into adulthood. If you want quality sleep every night, make consistency a habit. By following the same routine day after day, your body will soon figure out when to call in a night.
