Prepare your brain to be put through a blender with this ultra low-budget gem (made on a budget of $7,000) by first time director Shane Carruth and winner of the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic film at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. A thinking mans (or womans) science fiction film that has generated a cult following because of its innovative plot structure and complex, technical dialogue. A rare science fiction film does not insult the intelligence of its audience by sugar-coating the science behind the fiction of the timeworn subject of time travel so often seen in other less-imaginative sci-fi films, and as a result, the director presents and reworks ideas and themes of past films in the genre in a refreshing manner. The most attentive viewers may have trouble finding their bearings as the film opens with a quick flow of engineering jargon, and anyone who can follow the temporal twists and inversions of the film’s final third probably deserves an engineering degree. Primer is a witty, well-shot, and convincingly acted science-fiction brain twister, leading one to suspect that on repeated viewings a rock solid narrative will reveal itself. (And trust me, YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS FILM AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES.)

Synopsis:
A group of four tech entrepreneurs, toiling away in a garage, have successfully created an error-checking system for their clients. But their recent work seems to have created an unexpected and seemingly impossible side-effect. Suddenly, two members of the group realize they are in possession of a device that can double, or perhaps even quadruple, the space-time continuum of anything that enters it. What at first seems like a windfall of astronomical proportions eventually proves to be much more than they bargained for. As the duo attempt to manipulate time to their financial advantage, when they begin to use the device to manipulate their personal lives, the two find themselves in an endless series of paradoxes and a growing amount of distrust. What seems like the standard foray into science fiction is revealed to be an ethical and philosophical rumination on the subject it tackles.

There is a moment in Primer that sums up the filmmaker’s point-of-view quite nicely. It’s not the line quoted in many reviews, where one addled engineer asks another, “Are you hungry? I haven’t eaten since later this afternoon,” although that line exemplifies Carruth’s prickly wit. It takes place before the main characters’ great, accidental discovery when two men discuss NASA’s efforts to develop a pen that would work in zero gravity. After spending millions trying to work out the problem, the agency ended up using a simple pencil. Primer is the science-fiction film equivalent of that pencil, and the remarkable amount of bang the film gets for its buck is only one of its virtues. Primer is also a textbook example for young filmmakers that a film can be as big as you want it to be when creativity is your budget.

Thanks for checking out our little web site. Best Rents is a small real estate company located in “Bridgeport USA” and we pride ourselves on making apartments available that are usually a little under market prices to be competitive.

We have been here for a quarter of a century and are in it for the “long run”. Some of our tenants have been with us from the very beginning which speaks for itself.

Keeping apartment rental prices reasonable is an increasingly difficult challenge, especially in this new economy.. The Chicago real estate taxes have been raised to 3 times more than the rest of the state. Add to that the price of rising insurance premiums, garbage removal, pest control, plumbing, roofing, contractors, evictions, legal costs, cleaning, water bills, mortgages, the list goes on and our bills add up . Never-the-less we are still determined to do everything possible to provide decent rental prices.

That often includes working with the tenants as “partners” creating a team to keep unnecessary costs as low as possible.

Most of our properties are in, or nearby Bridgeport. If you are not familiar with Bridgeport it is a unique “low key” neighborhood where 3 Chicago mayors have lived during their term in office and is conveniently located right off of the Dan Ryan Expressway and a few blocks to I-55 and Lake Shore Drive. The downtown “loop” area is usually only about 10 minutes away. You may see movie crews on location filming world class movies, as well as world famous Cellular Field on 35th Street.

All the great food of China Town is just a few blocks away and there are many new condos and lofts available. Look at those rental prices and compare it to what we have to offer from time to time.

When you become one of our tenants you get a direct line to our office routed to “Bill” who is very accessible to talk to personally every business day. To keep expenses as low as possible we have no employees and Bill takes pride in showing every unit personally. There is a direct maintenance number for independent contractors who we work closely with and you may usually call them directly. Sometimes a building manager is assigned by us to help you with little things day to day.

Bill has a different attitude than you may have been used to in the past, and is a progressive thinker always open to new ideas. He gets along well with young local students from the neighborhood (IIT college, UIC college and College of Optometry) as well as older retired tenants always thinking “outside the box” and viewing life with fresh perspectives open to new suggestions. Bill still gets a kick out of a few Christmas cards we always receive and display each year from our younger tenants sometimes addressed to “The Cool Landlord”.

We believe his creativity and problem solving ability was acquired from his many years early in life as a successful rock musician & bandleader. In 1976 & 1977 he even lived in a van for a couple of years when he had difficulty finding anyone who would rent to him. BestRents supports our new president Barack Obama and Bill goes way back to the early 1970’s when he worked full time for many years with international blues star Otis Rush before equal rights was fashionable.

Do you often hear yourself asking that very simple question? Why bamboo? Why should I invest in bamboo clothing, bamboo furniture, bamboo household goods, bamboo landscaping? Why should I choose bamboo? I ask, why not?

Bamboo is an underutilized renewal resource that is just as effective and sturdy as conventional hard wood materials, such as oak, pine, and maple. Bamboo can be dried, treated, molded and fashioned into virtually any shape, size or form, and stain a motley of different shades. It is less expensive to manufacture and it can be replenished quickly in nature. So why not bamboo?

If you are still not convinced, think about this. Trees can take almost sixty years to grow and mature to the appropriate size for logging. That means, if you plant a tree today, sometime in six decades, your grandchildren will be able to harvest that tree. It also means that the natural resources trees offer is being depleted quicker than we can restore them. Yet, with bamboo, it takes an average of sixty days for them to grow and mature to the appropriate size and an average of five years to be dried and treated. Think of how many crops of bamboo could be harvested, treated and sold in the time it would take to grow one tree!

With bamboos versatility, it can virtually eliminate the need to timber trees, which means deforestation can be reversed. We can finally leave the Amazon rainforest alone, because we have a renewal resource in plentiful amounts across the world.

Still not convinced? Bamboo also accounts for carbon dioxide reduction. As we destroy forest after forest, the carbon dioxide emissions produced by humans is increasing. The only natural way to reduce carbon dioxide is to have plants available for air filtering. Plants absorb the CO2 and release back the clean oxygen molecules into the air for us to breath. Hence, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced.
Bamboo is practically indestructible. Bamboo was the only plant known to survive the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in World War II, and also provided the first signs of green life after the bombing. A plant that can survive an atomic blast? Why havent we utilized this plant sooner?

Bamboo is also used in erosion control. Tobacco farmers in the southern United States use the thickly stalked bamboo to prevent wind erosion on their tobacco crops. New construction and landscapers have used bamboo as soil erosion and rain run off control. With it being naturally pest resistant, bamboo is an optimal choice for any lawn and garden.

If you still question if bamboo should be utilized, there are plenty of web sites that can offer more information on the scientific, industrial and environmental ways bamboo can help the planet. Bamboo is a vibrant, lively addition to any yard, and could just be the next major industrial material used by companies throughout the world. Just a few changes, and trees across the planet can rejoice. Natural habitats and indigenous plants can be saved. Regions can revive to their once splendor.

So again I ask, why not bamboo?http://www.bamboopower.com/
