 Racy Side of Madonna, April 27, 2013
"Sex" by Madonna is an extremely daring book that shows a provocative side of Madonna. This book was originally published around the time of her Erotica album. Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Udo Kier, and Tatiana Von Furstenberg are among some of the celebrities that appear in this book. The book "Sex" by Madonna is a worthwhile purchase for many who are Madonna fans. I admit that I have been a Madonna fan since I was around 13-15 years old. One of my first purchases of her work that I was able to legally obtain around my early teenage years was the Immaculate Collection cassette tape.

Playboy Club Sessions, April 26, 2013
I admit that I was curious to check out "Playboy Sessions Paris Mixed by Michael Canitrot" after hearing a feature song of "Crave You" (a Flight Facilities mix) on Pandora radio. However, the song is not on this edition I am reviewing. This compilation was slightly different from what I expected because I originally thought that many of the songs were going to be a blend of chillout and electronica (similar to the vibe of the "Crave You" song). Many of the songs are actually more of a blend of slight hints of club, jazz, and disco type of music. However, this "Playboy Club Sessions Mixed by Michael Canitrot" compilation of two cds (with 13 songs on each cd) still came out sounding fairly decent.

 Weather Music Lounge, April 26, 2013
"Passion Lounge" is a two cd set that has 13 songs on each cd. There are various artists on this collection and many of these songs embody a quiet vibe. Others may like this cd more, but I felt that many of the songs invoked more of a background music type of vibe rather than the passionate themed music that I was hoping for. This compilation is more suited to those who are fine with elevator type music.

Goal Achiever, April 25, 2013
Goal Digger by Alicia Dunams is a partial autobiographical account of her life. Dunams also generously shares what she has learned from her experiences of dating wealthy men. She is determined to create opulence in all areas of life through her own merits and pass it on to others via the book. This book would also interest some men as well. For instance, a male spotted me reading the book in public and asked me what it was about. After explaining it to him, he actually wanted a copy of "Goal Digger" by Alicia Dunams for himself.

Popular Legends, April 21, 2013
"How To Succeed: Or Stepping Stones To Fame and Fortune" by Orison Swett Marden is a stirring book that highlights the message of triumph through the inclusion of various stories. For instance, on page 99, Marden gives the implied message that one can often achieve their dreams regardless of age through the story examples he shares. "How To Succeed: Or Stepping Stones To Fame and Fortune" by Orison Swett Marden is a good book for those who like inspiring stories.

Hill's Interview With His Shadow Archetype?, April 21, 2013
"Outwitting The Devil" by Napoleon Hill is an interesting book on various ways to avoid being overcome by the inevitable tests of life. The information that I personally found informative was the advice given to have a personal purpose and aim regardless of any obstacles that emerge. I admit that there is still so much for me to know in life and part of being unsure about some of the writings shared in the book stem from my life experiences. I have a feeling that Hill did truly believe that his information was coming unadulterated in his interviews with the "devil" but I believe that he may have unintentionally colored some of his writings through a human lense. For instance, on page 133 it is acknowledged that "being good" is un- related to what a person achieves out of life. In other words, there is an implied acknowledgement that those who achieve various successes in their life are frequently judged far from being "good" by other men and women. However, I also believe many of the men and women who transition to the heavenly realms after physical death are sometimes people that were harshly judged by many men and women on earth as not being moral and/or righteous enough to go to heaven. The point that I am trying to make is that the determination of good and bad people is sometimes subjective from the human perspective of some men and women. I believe that Napoleon Hill's idea of goodness on page 133 is well intentioned but also based on human judgement. Aside from this and other undisclosed caveats, "Outwitting The Devil" by Napoleon Hill is a unique book that highlights various life topics that pertain to many people.

Calling Celestial Energies, April 21, 2013
"Calling All Angels: 57 Ways To Invite An Angel Into Your Life" by Joyce Keller is a spiritual wholeness type of book that includes writings pertaining to various areas of the human experience. There is something for many people in this book and I already found at least three areas that resonate with me. However, I prefer to keep it private what those three areas are. However, "Calling All Angels: 57 Ways To Invite An Angel Into Your Life" by Joyce Keller is a healing book that is good for those who believe in the possibilities of connecting with benevolent forces.

Brightman Aspirations, April 21, 2013
"Dreamchaser" by Sarah Brightman contains musical melodies that blend chillout and classical elements. "Angel", "On A Day Like This", "Breath Me", and "Venus and Mars" showcase the soul of her singing behind the songs. The dvd and cd edition includes the video of "Angel", a photo gallery, the tracks "7th Heaven", and "So Long Ago, So Clear." I also enjoyed how she opened her heart to share one of her dreams inside the dvd portion. "Dream Chaser" by Sarah Brightman is good for those who are already familiar with her music and/or those who like classical music with hints of chillout and pop melodies.

 Europe 70's Disco, April 21, 2013
"European Connection" by Disco Discharge is a two cd set of ten songs on the first cd and 11 songs on the second set. Many of the songs do in fact live up to the title name of this collection. The only reason why I rated it three stars was due to the fact that I enjoy most of the songs on cd two (music by Funny Twins, Hot Cold, Taffy, Hypnosis etc.) as compared to cd one. Additionally, I admit that I happen to be new to the 70's era of European disco music and would recommend this cd more for those who are already familiar with 70's era disco.

Various Facets of Roisin Murphy, April 21, 2013
"Overpowered" by Roisin Murphy does contain some satisfying hits such as "Overpowered", "You Know Me Better", and "Let Me Know". The only reason why I reluctantly give it three stars was because I was looking for the same musical spirit that is found in "Sing It Back". However, this collection does contain a balanced amount of musical experimentation and a feeling that she poured out her soul in the singing. For this reason, I would recommend this music set as best for those who are more than just casual listeners of her music (such as her fans).

Self Esteem Booster, April 21, 2013
"Looking Hot" by No Doubt is a fun dance/pop musical track about someone who is more than comfortable with themselves. You really get a sense that the song definitely pertains to a person who is highly self-confident about their physical appearance and/or personality characteristics. "Looking Good" by No Doubt is great for those who like music by No Doubt and/or music tunes from the pop/dance genres.

2013 Remix, April 21, 2013
I was curious to check out "Somebody Dance With Me" by DJ Bobo & Manu-L (Remady 2013 mix) due to my previous familiarity with DJ Bobo. I had purchased one of DJ Bobo's greatest hits sets in September 2007 and wrote an online review of DJ Bobo's greatest hits back in June 15, 2008. This new version of "Somebody Dance With Me" by DJ Bobo & Manu-L (Remady 2013) mix sends both a light-hearted and positive vibe of making the best out of life. This track is best for those who may have already heard of DJ Bobo and those who like dance music singles.

Heart Racing Times At The White House, April 21, 2013
I decided to check out this film because my husband had a high interest in seeing it (he did enjoy the film). "Olympus Has Fallen" is a thriller type movie that touches on a somber "what if" scenario as it pertains to the White House. Aaron Eckhart, Gerald Butler, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, and Ashley Judd are some of the well-known actors/actresses appearing in this film. "Olympus Has Fallen" is good for those who like action/thriller movies.

Bonding For Two, April 13, 2013
I must preface this review by humbly admitting that one of the biggest reasons why I enjoy an enduring and loving nine year marriage is due to both spiritual good luck and the fact that my husband is both patient and unconditionally loving to me. Additionally, we both support and stand by each other through both good and challenging times. As a result, I have full faith and trust that we are going to enjoy a loving and lasting marriage for the rest of our current lifetimes on earth. With all that said, I obtained "Happiness For Two: 75 Secrets For Finding More Joy Together" by Alexandra Stoddard as more of a way to add to my already blessed marriage. "Encourage Each Other To Do Something Every Day That Will Boost Happiness", "Allow Each Other For Freedom and Contemplation" and "Encouraging Self Expression", are among some of the multiple helpful tidbits in Stoddard's guide. "Happiness For Two": 75 Secrets For Finding More Joy Together" by Alexandra Stoddard is a great book for those who are married and/or in a romantic partnership.

Suitable Gift For WOW fans, April 13, 2013
My husband is a fan of the World of Warcraft game and has been playing it since 2005. One of the first times that I remember purchasing him a World of Warcraft 60 Day Prepaid Time gift card was back in December 2006 as a Christmas present. I recently purchased another World of Warcraft 60 Day Prepaid Time Card for my husband. He is satisfied with the card. Needless to say, he also enjoys the game so much that there have been attempts to convert me to the World of Warcraft game. I completely understand why he would do so because it does look like an interesting game. However, my spouse understands that it is not my cup of tea because of the excessive violence, but I am completely supportive of him playing World of Warcraft. The World of Warcraft 60 Day Prepaid Time Card by Blizzard Entertainment is a great gift for loved ones who are fans of World of Warcraft and/or those who enjoy the game themselves.

Curious Arietty, April 13, 2013
"The Secret World Of Arrietty" is a campy and heartwarming movie about a boy named Shawn (voiced by David Henrie) who befriends a miniature girl named Arrietty (voiced by Bridget Mendler). He also plays a role in shaping her family life and being a benevolent friend. The bonuses include a music video called "Summertime' by Bridget Mendler and the making of the video. I decided to check out the movie after my husband rented it from the leasing office of the Apartment we reside in. "The Secret World of Arietty" is good for those who like cheery movies that are suitable for all ages.

Lurid Accounts Of A Prosperous Call Girl, April 13, 2013
I was curious to watch "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl: Season 4" both because it is based on a true story and due to my previous familiarity with Billie Piper. I own one of Billie Piper's greatest hits music collections (which is pretty good) and I have seen her in a few Dr. Who performances (also strong performances). Billie Piper gives an excellent portrayal as Hannah Baxter. Hannah Baxter happens to be an intelligent high class escort who is incredibly gifted in her job. Baxter's character is shown to be living in a lavish house and having clients from very affluent backgrounds. Hannah Baxter even ends up working temporarily as a London madam for her boss Stephanie (played in a fantastic way by Cherie Lunghi). Snippets from the song "You Know I'm No Good" by the late Amy Winehouse are used for the theme of "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl". It is made very obvious in season four that she makes a good living as a high class call girl and is even offered the chance to have her life story translated into a movie. By the way, the episode where the movie idea gets pitched to Hannah Baxter is extremely humorous. Hannah Baxter also deals with strong professional competition from Charlotte (played in a convincing way by Gemma Chan). In season 4, Hannah Baxter must also choose between Ben (well played by Iddo Goldberg) or her job. I confess that I think that "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl: Season 4" would make an interesting film. Obviously, it would also be a good idea to consult with the woman that the whole series is based on (to strengthen the plot and message of the movie). "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl Season 4"is best for those who like shocking and racy tv shows.

A Side Of A Controversial Topic, April 13, 2013
I must preface this review by emphasizing that my interest in "The Other Side of Suicide" by Kareen Peebles is unrelated to whether I would commit suicide. As a matter of fact, I am compassionate about those who choose suicide, but I intend and dream to powerfully live out my current life until at least 2078. I mention dream because I'm humbly aware that my wish to live until at least the age of 98 may be completely different from what was agreed upon in my spiritual contract prior to my birth.
With all that said, I do feel that Karen Peebles is a brave soul for writing about such a sensitive subject. This is because "The Other Side of Suicide" is a channeled book that touches on a topic that still carries a strong stigma (as Peebles notes in this book). The main premise of this book is that many of those who commit suicide actually do go to a heavenly spiritual dimension that is basically a celestial healing ward. However, it is noted that many of these spirits need great healing done on their souls because they feel the emotions of the family members and friends that they prematurely left behind. Additionally, the author does not sugarcoat that at least some of these spirits actually wish to go back right away once they are reacquainted with why they reincarnated on earth to begin with.
Healing information is included about how each spirit actually has a life purpose and the power of imagination is also discussed (along with a technique to spread spiritual healing). Yes, I am aware that many intelligent and talented people on earth do not believe that each soul has a life purpose. However, I admit that I still am always going to believe (for the rest of my current life) that each man and woman on earth does have a life purpose for living and that it varies depending on personal karmic challenges. A person must have an open mind to read this book because much of the information is garnered in relation to what happened to the author's uncle. I want to avoid giving away further information out of respect for the author and those who may still wish to get the book.
This is the last and final book on suicide that I plan to review during my current and what I wish to be a long lifetime on earth. It was hard for me to open up to even share this book and I feel more comfortable leaving further public reviews on suicide to other courageous souls. However, "The Other Side of Suicide" by Karen Peebles is a good book for those who want to know how to help others affected by this touchy subject and those both directly and indirectly affected by suicide.

Living Prosperous As The Best Revenge, March 31, 2013
I admit that I found out about "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" by Calvin Tomkins through a past Spirit & Destiny Magazine issue. Belinda Carlisle was being interviewed and recommended the book. I felt an intuitive urge to go by Carlisle's suggestion because she projected a sharing vibe of balancing earthly concerns with her spiritual life. I must say that "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" is a candid book that mainly centers around an upper class couple by the name of Sara and Gerald Murphy. In keeping with the theme of the title, the couple lives a rich life in France, but they also find time to spend with their children and the friends they meet in their new place. I admit that I enjoyed the features on their European travels the most and the pictures that include their various colorful friends. The Murphys also endured tragedy in their lives as well. For instance, page 125 features the tragic saga of The Murphys losing both sons before they reached adulthood. "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" by Calvin Tomkins is best for those who are curious about the lives of wealthy families who resided in Europe prior to the 1950's.

Opulent Residences, March 31, 2013
I am lucky to have first viewed MTV Cribs during the early 2000's. One of the episodes that stood out to me was the one where a man was showing a house that was inspired by his passion for either the Star trek and/or Star wars tv show (I forgot which series it was). This two dvd set of the "MTV Cribs Hip Hop & Rock Collection" includes the following musicians: Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg, Master P, Ludacrais, Nelly, Russell Simmons, Ice-T, Big Boi, Redman, Rob Zombie, Tommy Lee, Fieldy From Korn, Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Travis Barker (Blink 182), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Jacoby Shaddix (from Papa Roach)and Iann Robinson. MTV Cribs Hip Hop & Rock Collection is a satisfying dvd collection for those who are curious to see some of the celebrity homes.

Escapades of Harry Potter And Friends, March 31, 2013
I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan when I first watched "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone" film at a late night showing. I am also lucky to have watched each of the other seven films at movie theaters. This 8 film collection includes a short synopsis of each movie and in chronological order. The eight movies featured (for those who may not have yet got the chance to watch the films): Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, Harry Potter And The Order Of Phoenix, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows-Part 1, and Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The only catch is that one must have a strong desire to get this collection for strictly the movies. The obvious reason being is the inclusion of all of the Harry Potter films to have been released, but extras are not included. Aside from that caveat, this complete 8 film collection of Harry Potter is best for those who enjoy fantasy films involving friends who unite together to overcome spiritual tests in life

Heart Trance, March 31, 2013
I admit that I spotted the "Perfect Playlist-Trance" compilation on Pandora Radio and decided to give it a try. "Sunlight" by DJ Sammy, "Dreaming" by Hannah-Rose, "Wherever You Are" (I Feel Love) by Laava, "Come Into My Dream" by Foggy, and "Miracle" by Cascada are some of the multiple quality songs within this set. "Perfect Playlist"-Trance is a fantastic 12 song collection for those who like love songs with a trance music perspective.

The Good Fortune Habit, March 28, 2013
I initially heard of "The Luck Habit" by Douglas Miller from a UK magazine issue called Spirit & Destiny. I already consider myself lucky, but I admit that there is still so much for me to learn in life when it comes to making the best out of the blessings and opportunities abundantly available. For me this book contains some insights on taking the existing good luck further. The sections on what propels luck and spotting opportunities are some of the helpful sections included in this book. "The Luck Habit" by Douglas Miller is an enriching book for those looking to maximize and/or increase their good luck.

More Of A Primer Book For Downtown D.C. Residents, March 28, 2013
The "2011 Washington DC Real Estate Guide" by Eldad Moraru caught my attention because of the shared intent from both husband and I to permanently reside in the Washington D.C. area for the rest of our current lifetimes. Additionally, receiving this book was timely because I attended a helpful home buying seminar last Wednesday that inspired me to think big in setting a goal to own a home in the D.C. area around 2015 to 2018 at the latest (as compared to my original idea of 2015-2025). My husband and I mutually agree on aiming for houses in either the Virginia or Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. We are postponing until at least 2015 because we both intend on wisely using the extra time towards carefully choosing a home that we can both reside in for the rest of our current lifetimes. These are some of the pros of this book: candid interviews from men and women who have purchased houses in the downtown D.C. neighborhoods, the section covering the D.C. neighborhoods included info on the metro stops of each neighborhood, the listings of D.C. blogs, newspapers, and magazines pertaining to the D.C. area. The caveat: Interviews of people who have moved to either the Maryland or Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C. were scarce. Arlington Virginia, Bethesda Maryland, and Chevy Chase Maryland were the main outside the DC neighborhoods that were featured in this book. Please understand that I still find this a good book in regards to foundational details towards purchasing a home in the D.C. area. I myself plan on keeping the book because there is helpful information in regards to various resources available when visiting and/or running errands in downtown D.C. However, "The 2011 Washington DC Real Estate Guide" by Eldad Moraru would be more of a stand- alone supplement for men and women looking to exclusively reside in downtown D.C. I would recommend the "Newcomer's Guide To Washington DC" by Mike Livingston as a complementary book for those planning on residing within the vicinity of Washington D.C. but in either the Virginia or Maryland suburbs. At the time of this writing, the 2011 edition is the most recent "Newcomer's Guide To Washington DC."

Inside The Real Estate Deal, March 28, 2013
I found out about the book "Inside The Sell" by Hans Wydler & Steve Wydler through a "Home & Design" magazine issue. Both my husband and I intend on permanently residing in the Washington D.C. area and eventually purchasing a long term home that we would live in for the rest of our current lifetimes around the timeframe of 2015 to 2018. This book does include some detailed information that pertains to both buyers and sellers. For instance, there is information included on neighborhood specialists and key points to look for when working with an agent. A large portion of the facts in the book are geared towards the seller. However, a buyer would also still find this book helpful because some of the focus points that affect a seller also indirectly tie in to a buyer. Of course, there are much more details included in this book and "Inside The Sell" by Hans Wydler & Steve Wydler is best for those who have a strong preference in gathering objective information in regards to real estate buying/selling.

Feel It Fun, March 28, 2013
"Feel It Real" by Denise Coates contains joyful games in regards to connecting with personal goals. The TV game, getting into character, and the immersion game are some of the unique ideas mentioned in this book. Please understand that I am aware that preconceptions based on a man or woman's talent, physical appearance, intelligence, and social standing still play a prominent role in our society. It is just that I am truly realizing that high self-confidence is the most important trait that a person can have regardless of background and the various games in this book remind me of this insight in a happy way (especially with the self-love game). "Feel It Real" by Denise Coates is a thrilling book for those who are open to gathering information on the law of attraction.

Rhythmic Lounge Chill, March 26, 2013
"Chill Pill" is a unique music collection that features songs combining the elements of chillout music with a laid back type of vibe (as noted from the picture). Supreme Beings Of Leisure and J. Axel featuring Astrid Suranto are among the various artists on the cd that put out heartfelt tracks. Tosca, Liquid Todd, and Ursula 1000 are among some of the other artists spotlighted within this collection. I am familiar with "Never The Same" by Supreme Beings of Leisure due to the song being featured on Pandora Radio. At the time of this writing, there is a full track listing on Amazon US for the songs and many of the tracks can be sampled through the groove gravy dot com website listed on the back of the cd jacket. "Chill Pill" is a various artist collection that combines chill-out music with the atmospheric feeling of a lounge.

Electronic Depeche Mode, March 26, 2013
As with most likely millions of others around the world, "Enjoy The Silence" was one of my first musical introductions to the group. I had to be around 9-10 years old when I first saw the music video to "Enjoy The Silence" on what was either MTV or VH1 (I admit that I forgot which one). Fast forward years later (around 2002), and my then boyfriend (who is luckily now my current husband) re-introduces me to Depeche Mode through the Exciter cd. Back in January 2005, my husband also purchased the Singles 86>98 collection for me as a gift to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
As a result, I am familiar with Depeche Mode and was eager to hear the new songs from "Delta Machine", especially after getting a chance to listen to "Heaven." "Welcome To My World", "Angel", "Secret To The End", "Should Be Higher", "Soothe My Soul", and "Always" are some of the other candid and compelling music tracks on this cd. The other strong feature to this collection is the balance of various music elements with the range of songs. "Delta Machine" by Depeche Mode is good for those who like electronica music.

Blake Shelton's Musical Story, March 26, 2013
I confess that I was initially introduced to Blake Shelton's music during the summer of 2011. I had heard his "Honey Bee" song from the Now 39 compilation (which I reviewed on August 24, 2011) and a fun concert of his that I attended back in February 2012. I had also decided to give the "Based On A True Story" a chance because of his Red River Blue cd (which is pretty good). "God Gave Me You", one of his songs from "Red River Blue" is both an uplifting song and has a music video available online that symbolizes the great love that Blake Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert have for each other. However, I am also somewhat familiar with multiple 80's/90's songs from the country music genre because my late adoptive mother and older sister both enjoyed and listened to country music frequently as I was growing up. Additionally, I was initially exposed to country music in my early childhood due to the fact that my maternal grandmother also listened to country music. "Based On A True Story" is even better than "Red River Blue" and contains among the following intense songs: Boys Round Here (feat. Pistol Annies & Friends), "Sure Be Cool If You Did", "Do You Remember", "Country On The Radio", "Doin What She Likes", "My Eyes" (feat. Gwen Sebastian),"Mine Would Be You", and "Ten Times Crazier." It is only a wild guess, but it appears that some of the happy love songs from "Based On A True Story" are a positive tribute to his wife Miranda Lambert. "Based On A True Story" by Blake Shelton is good for those who are open to listening to modern country music with songs that cover the various facets of love and living life.

Good Intentions In Ingredients But Is Completely Different From Older Quaker Offerings, March 25, 2013
I decided to try "Real Medleys Peach Almond Oatmeal" because I have previously enjoyed some of the other instant oatmeal offerings from Quaker (such as the Peaches and Cream, Strawberries and Cream, Apples and Cinnamon). This "Real Medleys Peach Almond Oatmeal" was different from what I hoped for because both the oatmeal and peaches were actually too sweet. The factor of almonds in the Peach Medleys oatmeal is a well-intentioned concept. I have also tried the Cherry Pistachio oatmeal that was also too sweet. However, the almond inclusion somehow overpowers the taste of both the oatmeal and the peaches. I plan to continue having some of the previous Quaker oatmeal additions, but not the Cherry Pistachio or the Real Medleys Peach Almond Oatmeal. For those who still feel compelled to try the Real Medleys Peach Almond Oatmeal, initially buy just one single serving pack (instead of the multiple pack set) to try from your local grocery story and/or wherever it is sold online.

A Sampler Who's Who From The New Age/Chillout Music Genres, March 25, 2013
I originally discovered the "Pure Moods Vol. II" cd in the early 2000's at a music store in Hong Kong.

"The Mummer's Dance" by Loreena McKennitt, "Life In A Northern Town" by Dream Academy, "Euphora" (Firefly) by Delerium, "Teardrop" (Edit) by Massive Attack, "Beyond The Invisible" by Enigma, and "The Mystic's Dream" by Loreena McKennitt are some of the multiple pleasant songs available on this cd.

Mirabilis Vocal Collective, March 25, 2013
I admit that I spotted this music collection when I was browsing one of the new age music sections in downtown D.C. "Mirabilis" by Mediaeval Babes is a collection of tranquil songs from the new age music genre. "Star Of The Sea", "Temptasyon", "All For Love Of One", "Return Of The Birds", and "Scarborough Fayre" are some of the multiple soothing musical tracks on this cd. The other positive feature is that all of the voices within the group are utilized in harmony with each other. "Mirabilis" by Mediaeval Babes is a strong musical set of songs for those who like relaxing new age music.

In-Depth Metric, March 25, 2013
I admit to first hearing of "Breathing Underwater" by Metric through DC101 (the alternative rock station of the Washington D.C. area). I ended up discovering the artist through a song lyric search and checking the song on itunes. This is because I did not initially see the artist name on the online recently played list. I still have yet to find the full meaning of the song, but the gorgeous vocals, meaningful lyrics, and the complementary music to the song were some of the reasons why I felt drawn to get the song. "Breathing Underwater" by Metric is great for those who are open to listening to indie rock and/or electronic music.

Home Buying Foundations, March 19, 2013
I must preface this review by admitting that my husband and I mutually agreed to set a timeline of 2015-2025 on buying our first home. We are both taking our time because of our shared intent to permanently settle in the D.C. area and wisely purchase a home that we can keep and live in for the rest of our current lifetimes. "How To Buy A House The Right Way" by Mark Kennedy contains helpful tips on what to look out for as if it was your own relative and/or best friend giving out the advice. This is important because my husband and I both have family members that have purchased homes, but most of the home purchases were done before multiple rules were changed. Chapter 2: The Benefits of Home Ownership, Chapter 11: Before You Buy, and Chapter 14: Buying And Renovating A Fixer Upper are some of the informative sections available in this book. "How To Buy A House The Right Way" by Mark Kennedy is a great book for self-education in regards to real estate.

Washington D.C. Local Book, March 19, 2013
This Washington D.C. Metropolitan Home Book (Second Edition) by Ashley Group interested me because of the dual intent for my spouse and I to permanently settle in the D.C. area. I am fortunate to live in an area where home buying seminars are offered and even signed my husband and I up for one. However, I still felt compelled to get a guide that would include various facets of owning a home. Elegant Touches (pages 391-406), Arts & Antiques (pages 527-551), and Interior Design (Pages 211-266) are some of the colorful features included in this book. The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Home Book (Second Edition) by Ashley Group is a 607 page guide that is best for those who plan to gather information around the various facets of the home ownership process.

Café Del Mar Joy, March 19, 2013
I have had previous good experiences with other Café Del Mar collections and trusted that this "The Very Best of Café Del Mar" compilation would be just as high quality or even better. One of my first Café Del Mar compilations is Café Del Mar Vol. 9. I had purchased it in December 2005 and reviewed it on August 8, 2011. "The Very Best of Café Del Mar" is even better and includes among some of the following satisfying songs: "Beautiful Strange" by Bedrock, "Breather" (Arithunda Mix) by Afterlife, "Get Back To Serenity" by Vargo, "Sun Is Shining" by Reunited, "Holding On" by Miro, "Transmit Liberation" by Single Cell Orchestra, "Art Noveau" by Jens Gad, "Desire" (Ambient Mix) by Blank & Jones, and "Morning Light" by Swen. The Very Best of Café Del Mar is a three cd set containing 13 songs each by various artists and is best for those who like lounge and/or chillout music compilations.

The Romantic Musical Excursion, March 19, 2013
I was first introduced to the music from Justin Timberlake's solo career around late 2002. I was hanging out with a group of friends inside of a shopping center in Yokosuka, Japan and heard the song "Like I Love You." I also own his Future Sex Love Sounds collection and had to check " The 20/20 Experience" in order to compare musical sounds. "The 20/20 Experience" is definitely a music departure from "Future Sex Love Sounds." However, many of the songs are remarkable and there is something for various men and women in this compilation. Currently, I greatly enjoy the musical tracks "Pusher Love Girl", "Suit &Tie", "Spaceship Coupe", "Let The Groove In", and "Mirror". Obviously, the most favorite songs are going to vary from person to person, but "The 20/20 Experience" by Justin Timberlake is a suitable collection for those who are open to listening to romantic R&B music with subtle hints of pop music.

Advantageous Rivalry, March 16, 2013
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" movie centers around a plot involving the magician characters of Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carrell), Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), Jane (Olivia Wilde), and Steve Gray (Jim Carey). Steve Carrell and Steve Buscemi give off the wall but convincing performances as magicians who also happen to be both business partners and best friends. Olivia Wilde also gives a natural performance as a woman who is pretty much hoodwinked into working for Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton. However, she also plays a reliable friend who stands by Burt Wonderstone in circumstances where other men and women might have bailed on him. Jim Carey shrewdly plays an eccentric magician that serves both a humorous and unconventional role in giving great competition to Burt Wonderstone. Carey's Gray character also helps to eventually bring out the best in Burt Wonderstone on a professional level. Yes, it is just a movie, but I believe that the competition and enemies part also applies in real-life. When seen in a positive light, enemies and competition can bring out the brilliance in a person via professional, spiritual, and/or emotional levels. "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is a film that is good for those who like zany comedy movies.
