If youre married and have children, you and your spouse likely get little time to see one another unless you steal glances across the dinner table, or exchange a few words while one of you is helping with homework while the other mans the carpool.

Moving and need a place to store your "stuff" in the mean time? Simply have too much of something but can't bring yourself to throw it away? Maybe your business has excess stock and nowhere to store it? These are common dilemmas that can all be rectified with a self storage facility. It is very common to need more space than we have because space costs money and we seldom have enough of either.Storage or warehouse facilities have been around for many decades and most were designed for huge amounts of goods or merchandise, as an example a business abundant over stock. There came to be a need for a more personalised means of storage and this need was soon met by the self storage business where secure space is made available for many purposes.Many times people in need of extra space will just throw away their items or else sell off their things instead of trying to hold onto them. This usually results in those things needing to be purchased again, and that means more wasted money. Solving that storage dilemma is easily accomplished now with the many self store businesses that will rent space (small or large) for all your storage needs. Self service storage gives those who...more

As a master of playing characters with a good and evil duality, Viggo Mortensen is the only actor in the world that could have played the father in "The Road." Although the father isn't exactly evil, he is a good man that has disposed his better virtues because he believes it is better for his son's and his own chances for survival. On an ash incinerated earth, a little boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) gradually exceeds the faith of his own doubting father and matures beyond his age. In a life that feels as if it is not worth living, the boy in his transcendence finds a connection between the embrace of what's left of humankind and the dream of a better future. The world catastrophe that has scorched the earth is undefined in both the novel by Cormac McCarthy and in the movie, but what remains is the constant panic of unavailable food and bands of cannibals and slave-herders. Something I closely observed is that two major grueling scenes in the book were left out of the movie, and if you've read the book you should be able to detect which are those two scenes. Such details are something I paid extra close attention to since McCarthy's work is my favorite novel of the last ten years. It is a...more
