 Traverse Melodies, August 22, 2013
50 Must-Have Travel Classics featuring various artists contains a unique mix of classic songs that are evoke a tranquil and merry vibe. Norwegian Dances Op. 35 No. 2 In A Major by Budapest Strings is one of my favorite songs on 50 Must-Have Travel Classics, but there is something for many people within this 50 song compilation.

 Depeche Mode In France, September 14, 2013
A few nights ago, I fortunately had the chance to attend a Depeche Mode concert and had fun seeing them live. "Depeche Mode- One Night In Paris: The Exciter Tour 2001" contains some of their best hits throughout their musical career such as "Personal Jesus", "Walking In My Shoes", and "Enjoy The Silence". "Dream On", "The Dead Of Night", and "FreeLove" are their concert inclusions from the 2001 Exciter cd. My favorite performance from this concert edition was "Halo" featuring two female singers that sang harmoniously in tune. "Depeche Mode- One Night In Paris: The Exciter Tour 2001" is worthwhile for the many who like: alternative/electronica, those familiar with the 2001 Exciter collection, and/or owners of any Depeche Mode greatest hits collections.

Fervent Melody Mix, September 8, 2013
"Fierce Angel Presents The Collection" is a three cd collection containing 33 musical tracks by various artists. "Little Love" by The Locksmiths (club mix) and "Get Shaky" by The Ian Carey Project (Ian Carey mix) are two of my favorite songs on this compilation. However, there is something for many men and women on this house and electronica music set due to the songs touching on various life themes (such as love, having fun in life, persistent ambition etc.).

 Tailored For Certain Majors, September 8, 2013
I'm fortunate to have been accepted into my first choice grad school program. Naturally, obtaining "Peterson's Getting Money For Graduate School" for tuition assistance was a logical choice. Additionally, I'm grateful for what I have already been generously offered, but felt guided to research additional funding. My scholarship journey continues because only a few scholarships pertained to my background. However, men and women selecting the following majors may benefit greatly from "Peterson's Getting Money For Graduate School": Archaeology, History, Art History, Humanities, Historic Preservation and Conservation, Architecture, Travel & Tourism, Museum Studies, Social Sciences, and Performing Arts.

411 Sampling Of George Washington University, September 8, 2013
The "College Prowler George Washington University 2012" guide is an informative book for both men and women who are already certain of their decision to attend GWU and those who are undecided. Among the quirky and exhilarating details that are included in this publication feature:

Dance Song of Mirth, September 7, 2013
"Take Control" by DJ Bobo featuring Mike Candys is an energetic dance beat symbolizing being tenacious and persistent in the schema of life. The video shows the lead singer being lighthearted and enjoying the summer with a network of people. "Take Control" by DJ Bobo & Mike Candy's is great for those who also like the previous version of "Take Control" and/or dance/pop music tunes.

Good For The Futurama Watcher In Your Life, September 7, 2013
My husband has known of and watched some of the Futurama episodes since the late 90's (when he was stationed in Maine through the military). "Futurama Season 2" is a multiple episode collection that contains some quirky and silly episodes poking fun at the seriousness of life. Both my husband and I agreed that the episode of "The Problem With Popplers" is one of our favorite episodes from season 2. This is due to the fact that the episode pokes fun at how sometimes the ingredients in some the most popular foods can be shocking. Futurama Season 2 is best for those who are familiar with the adult swim channel or those fine with adult themed cartoons.

Josephine Baker's Triumphs, September 7, 2013
"The Josephine Baker Story" is an evocative movie about Josephine Baker's professional and personal journeys in both the United States and Europe. The film provides substantial information on why she moved to France. Scenes from "The Josephine Baker Story" also resplendently show the psychological and spiritual tribulations that Baker endured in America during her ascent to fame and fortune. There are also dramatic and touching scenes that provide evidence on how Count Abatino helped Baker to soar in life (as well as loving her more than life itself). Heartwarming events in Josephine Baker's life, such as her adopted children symbolizing a "rainbow coalition" are also meticulously captured in the movie. Obviously, the children are now grown and most likely doing well. However, I am surprised that the media has not yet covered how many of them are doing as part of their "Where Are They Now" feature. "The Josephine Baker Story" is best for those who enjoy victory-themed movies involving overcoming great obstacles and turning them into vehicles for personal growth. The following actors and actresses are included in "The Josephine Baker Story": Lynn Whitfield, Ruben Blades, Louis Gossett Jr., Craig Nelson, David Dukes, Kene Holiday, Vivian Bonnell, and Vivienne Eytle.

 I Really Wanted To Rate Now & Later Higher And, September 7, 2013
I wish all of the actors, actresses, and those involved with the making of Now & Later happiness, fulfillment, and success in life. However, the film had some glaring pros and cons that influenced me to rate this film only one star:
The pros: The character Angela speaks about her parents and country of origin in a proud and regal manner. She is actually at her best (acting wise) when engaged in political dialogue. The archetype of Bill comes out in the strongest manner when discussing the circumstances that led him to running from the law.
The cons: There was a scene filled with potential involving Bill and his wife. The wife is trying to gain a sense of closure over what is going on. My spouse glanced over to watch me viewing the film and expressed that it appears that both the man and women appeared to be reading from the cue cards instead of expressing stronger concern about what is to happen between them. The scene could have been made even more powerful by having Bill express stronger empathy towards his wife's intensity.
At least two things could have made the film more electrifying; 1)Re-enactment of the story where Bill mentions a few of the missions that were connected to his job and 2) At least one to two scenes briefly displaying events that directly impacted Angela's parents. However, Now & Later may be fine for those who do not mind graphic films sparse in adventure plots.

Brewster's Opulent Inheritance, September 1, 2013
"Brewster's Millions" is a fun film starring the late Richard Pryor (See No Evil, Hear No Evil,Harlem Nights) as Monty Brewster and the late John Candy (The Great Outdoors, Delirious) as Spike Nolan. Monty Brewster has a chance to inherit over 300 million dollars from his late great uncle. However, Brewster has only 30 days to spend 30 million dollars without accumulating assets. He must also avoid telling those around him the underlying reasons for his behavior. The film hints at this difficulty shown through Spike Nolan doing what he can as a caring and true friend to help Brewster increase his financial fortune. Naturally, Nolan is shown being justifiably confused when he notices Brewster's discomfort when his income rises. The part where Brewster decides to go into politics is humorously entertaining. I also enjoyed watching "Brewster's Millions" so much that I plan to watch it again in the future because the film joyfully takes a light-hearted approach on encouraging the movie watcher to question what they would do if placed in a related situation, minus the dangerous clause of having to do so within 30 days and being able to maintain and/or increase the financial fortune for at least one lifetime. The following additional actors/actresses are also in this version of "Brewster's Millions": Lonette McKee, Stephen Collins, Jerry Orbach, Pat Hingle, Tovah Feldsuh, Hume Cronyn, Joe Grifasi, Peter Jason, David White, Rick Moranis, and Alan Autry.

Divine Fashionista, September 28, 2013
"Magical Fashionista: Dress For The Life You Want" by Terry Whitehurst touches on the idea of using fashion to manifest a life of increased good fortune and harmony. Whitehurst creatively touches on related ideas to this such as how to create music playlists in conjunction with the magical fashionista theme and using different clothing colors to tap into certain spiritual themes.

Early Retirement Guide, September 23, 2013
"Retiring Sooner: How to Accelerate Your Financial Independence" by Darrow Kirkpatrick caught my interest because of my desire to learn all I can about multiple retirement options. I am blessed with good health and recently received the pleasant news of being offered a good job. However, it dawned on me that I must start thinking and planning seriously about my financial retirement options, especially after reading current media trends that imply the political possibility of certain critical services for seniors and/or other socio-economic classes that may be reduced and/or eliminated entirely. The following is a sampling of the detailed information included in the book:
Page 4: The author started to become serious in saving and investing towards his retirement around the age of 35. He achieved financial freedom by the time he reached his 50's.
Pages 44-71: Different "retirement lifestyles" are profiled, along with his persuasive emphasis on opening, financially funding, and maintaining multiple investment, savings, and retirement accounts. Along with his recommendation to diversify, he shares how he would picture himself literally purchasing shares of stock when making deposits or investments.
Page 93-111-The author references informative blogs such as Mr. Money Mustache and Early Retirement Extreme. An important point is made on why striving to stay in the same area of residence can also be pivotal towards successful retirement planning. The recommendation to aim for residing in the same location resonated with me because of my own personal intent to continue living in the United States beyond my 50's. Please know that I am aware that there other good places to live in this world and understand why some men and women enjoy moving abroad for their retirement years. However, it is my own personal wish to continue to live in the United States during my retirement years and would like to see more online websites addressing the concerns of people who intend to stay in the U.S. for their retirement.

Life Imitates Art Because of Scripting, September 23, 2013
"Delirious" is a comedy type movie that stars the late John Candy as writer Jack Gable. Gable is able to creatively manipulate his reality with just the act of scripting his desired outcome on a typewriter. He even comes face to face with one of his written stories in an accident induced dream. The movie "Delirious" gently penetrates the issue of what could happen when a man or woman can simply "write the outcome" of their inner and outer world.

Madonna In Her Concert Glory, September 14, 2013
With humility, I confess that I have had the good luck of being able to attend multiple concerts. Madonna's 2012 tour stop in the Washington D.C. area was one of them, and I would easily rate her live performance as one of the top three best concerts (that I attended). "Madonna's MDN World Tour" dvd is a continuation of the musical intensity and energy she puts out to give fans of her music an exhilarating show. She creatively opens the show with various dancers dressed in red robes and eloquently closes with an energetic rendition of "Celebration". Additionally, I found it heartwarming when Madonna took the time after "Open Your Heart" to thank her fans. "I Don't Give A", "Express Yourself", "Vogue", "Erotic Candy Shop", and "Human Nature" are some of my favorite performances from this dvd. However, the following is the complete concert track listing for those who prefer more information on the songs that were performed (in sequential order): Virgin Mary (Intro), Girl Gone Wild, Revolver, Gang Bang, Papa Don't Preach, Hung Up, I Don't Give A, Best Friend, Express Yourself, Give Me All Your Luvin, Turn Up The Radio, Open Your Heart, Masterpiece, Justify My Love, Vogue, Erotic Candy Shop, Human Nature, Like A Virgin, Love Spent, Nobody Knows Me, I'm Addicted, I'm A Sinner, Like A Prayer, and Celebration.

Invigorating Music Triad, September 14, 2013

"Hold Me Tight" by Addicted Craze, "Light Up The Night" by Gimbal & Sinan, and "Heaven In Disguise" by Trance Arts Feat. Hysteria are some of the quality songs that stir my soul. However, the following are some of the multiple musicians included on Future Trance Vol. 63 for various men and women into dance/trance music: DJ Shog, Cascada, Avicci, Nicky Romero, Zedd, Ryan Tedder, Afrojack, Keane, Calvin Harris, Florence Welch, Tiesto, Allure, Dennis Sheperd, Cold Blue, Ana Criado,Armin Van Buuren, Fiora, Rob Mayth, DJ Neo, Megastylez and many more.

Ibiza Chillout Lounge, September 14, 2013
I am glad to have obtained this collection for only $13.61 (counting the shipping cost). This is because "Ministry of Sound Presents: Ibiza 1991-2009" is a phenomenal collection of 60 satisfying songs on three cds. At the time of this writing, Amazon US does have a full song listing of the songs (minus the artists). However, both Amazon UK and Amazon Canada have the complete artist listings. "Ministry of Sound Presents: Ibiza 1991-2009" is great for those who enjoy electronica, trance, and chillout music melds from various artists.

A Unique And Sunshine Disposition Type of Cartoon, September 14, 2013
"Adventure Time Season 5" contains 13 unique and lighthearted cartoon episodes. The shows center around Finn and his trusted dog Jake (set in a colorful post apocalypse reality). With this edition being season 5, I would recommend novices of Adventure Time to check out the previous shows first (in order to more completely understand the theme and characters). There are diverse messages in this series to appeal to men and women from various backgrounds. My personal favorite show from season 5 was Candy Streets due to both the "who done it mystery element" and the sense of spontaneous mission related exploration. Candy Streets is positively reminiscent of "Mystery Train" (from season 2). Another alternative way to decide if this season is for you: Watch the free youtube showings of "The Bravest Warriors" from the Cartoon Hangover channel of Youtube. The reason for this recommendation: "The Bravest Warriors" animation and fun cartoon messages are similar to what you would get in "Adventure Time Season 5".

Tale Of Two Budding And Powerful Witches And Their Magical Mother, October 10, 2013
The pilot episode of Witches of East End (season 1) is created around the storyline of a caring mother by the name of Joanna Beauchamp, a powerful witch in disguise who is trying to protect her two daughters Freya and Ingrid. The series opens with Freya and Ingrid being unaware of their powers. In particular, the character of Freya is coming to terms with why she is dreaming of a man who ignites her romantic interest and comes face to face with in real-life. However, she has justified reasons for steering clear. Meanwhile, Ingrid is at first shown as the skeptical one but decides to help cast a fertility spell for one of her friends. In the midst of it all, people are being murdered and a definitive sign on the culprit is unavailable. I was guessing the character of Adam may be responsible for the deaths while my husband was guessing that the character of Penelope Gardiner may be responsible (Freya's prospective mother-in-law). Regardless of who the actual culprit is, I felt that the ending could have at least been accompanied by at least two-three more clues of who is responsible for the deaths. I also wish that there would have been more of a backstory on the circumstances around when Joanna and Wendy last sister interacted (i.e. which past life). Joanna's character indicated that she was reborn, but information on her sister Wendy's life was even more of a mystery. It would also be nice to know how Ingrid met her best friends Hudson and Barb. The one minute Barb is confiding to both Ingrid and Hudson about her desire to even turn to magic to become pregnant. Then, within the next scene, Ingrid, Barb, and Hudson are joining forces to help make Barb's "child" wish come true. Obviously, one can then decipher that Ingrid, Barb, and Hudson are friends, but I at first thought that Barb and Hudson were just co-workers because the episode jumped right in with Ingrid meeting Barb and Hudson at what looked like a library (rather than at least a brief explanation on how Barb or Hudson came into Ingrid's life). Aside from these caveats, Witches of East End is worth checking out for those who have previously watched the BBC series of Merlin, the U.S. series that is Once Upon A Time, and/or those who simply like watching supernatural/fantasy/magic television series.

Season Three Definitely Starts With An Exciting Sizzle, October 10, 2013
Scandal Season 3 (pilot episode) gloriously opens with Olivia Pope bravely standing up to her father. Mr. Pope wants to send his daughter away seemingly out of concern for her fate. Meanwhile, the character of Fitzgerald and his wife face up to what they are going to have to do in the midst of the gossip emerging around their personal lives. Fortunately, for Olivia, Huck, Harrison, Abby, and Quinn loyally stand by her and creatively concoct a plan to help their boss. As usual, Cyrus is cooking up his own schemes, but at least still has a heart for this partner James and their daughter. I did enjoy the surprise appearance of Charlie in this episode, especially because of his pivotal character evolution that is tied in with Huck and Cyrus. I have had the chance to watch both season 1 and season 2 well before watching the pilot to season 3. I would softly recommend to any not yet familiar with season 1 or 2 to definitely strive to watch both seasons before the pilot episode of season 3. This is only because the story line to the pilot episode of season 3 will be the most clear and cohesive with being aware of the plots from the previous two seasons. With that said, I do enjoy watching Scandal and feel guided to make gentle suggestions on what could potentially make its way into the series. Please know that I am only making polite requests because I'm aware that other countless fans of Scandal also have their ideas:
The marriage between Mellie and Fitz, as well as the love triangle involving Olivia: I confess that I feel conflicted because in real-life I'm a married female who enjoys the superb acting of Tony Goldwyn and Kerry Washington as a "secret couple" carrying on with their steamy shenanigans. I also think that Bellamy Young does a terrific job as playing a first lady who cleverly and carefully puts on a public front of respect to Olivia Pope while fighting to save her marriage. With all this said, I do feel that it is worth consideration to keep President Fitzgerald and First Lady Millie married. Yes, I understand that the character of Fitzgerald is in love with Olivia Pope. However, it may be worth continuing to keep his relationship with both Olivia Pope and Millie going. I only say this because I do believe that it is possible for men to be in love with two women at once. Additionally, I feel that the series could be made even stronger if the character of Fitzgerald is at least shown being a little more respectful to his wife Millie. Please know that I feel that the actor who does play the president does it very well and convincingly. It is just that his character could at least be written to be more civil and affectionate towards the Millie character. Speaking of Millie, it would be nice if it can be written in for Mellie to make some female and/or male friends to keep her company. This would add even more plot possibilities to the character growth of Mellie, Fitzgerald, and Olivia Pope.
Huck, Harrison, Abby, Quinn, and Charlie: I think that it was heartwarming to see Huck and Harrison rescue Olivia from the car (at the beginning of the season 3 pilots) in a move akin to powerful and loyal bodyguards. However, it would also be fascinating to see Harrison and Huck interact with each other as professional and personal mentors. For instance, maybe there could be a scene where Huck is telling Harrison to be careful with any future love interests (due to his own personal experiences), and/or a scene or episode where Huck and Harrison are embarking on work related missions as a way of professionally mentoring each other. The same could also be applied to Abby. For instance, maybe the character of Abby could serve as an important mentor to Quinn in showing her how to heal from heartbreak while moving on with professional cases and/or speaking up when necessary on work matters (such as when the character of Abby bravely stood to Olivia regarding the treatment of a client). The meeting with Charlie and Cyrus in the pilot episode of season 3 added an exciting twist to the "It's Handled" episode. I would just make a gentle suggestion to have the character of Charlie maybe working with Olivia's team into one-two future episodes/scenes. Another alternative idea is to provide a personal backstory on how and why the character of Charlie continues in his line of work and/or the explanation of Charlie's extreme loyalty to Cyrus (aside from the money factor).
Cyrus, James, and their daughter: It is sweet that Cyrus is shown making sure that James and their adopted daughter were unharmed as the first and foremost thing in his mind once he saw Charlie. The character of Cyrus also shows his humanity with how he treats his partner even under high stress situations from his job. However, maybe there could be a scene or episode where Cyrus takes a half-day and/or a couple of hours to help James with parenting duty, such as maybe taking their adoptive daughter to daycare and/or having Cyrus screening the hiring of a nanny to give James a little rest. This would help give the impression that Cyrus is a highly ambitious man who also cares to give James a break from domestic duties every now and then. I think that it is a good idea that the character of Cyrus and James are sometimes shown also helping each other professionally. Maybe future episodes can include James advising Cyrus on how to handle the unexpected soap opera situations in the White House with careful precision and with as minimum collateral damage as possible or vice versa.
Scandal Season 3 the pilot episode of "It's Handled" is perfect for men and women who are familiar with the previous seasons of Scandal and/or those who like watching television dramas set in the Washington D.C. Area.

Positive Linings, October 10, 2013
Recently, my husband rented "Silver Linings Playbook" from our apartment rental office. This was a kind and loving gesture because he remembered that I had wanted to see the film when it was released in theaters. "Silver Linings Playbook" is a touching film of a character around Pat Solitano, whose life is turned upside down after he undergoes treatment for an episode that triggered him reacting with extreme aggression. Pat's parents take him in and he unexpectedly meets and falls in love with a woman named Tiffany. He does his best to avoid showing it because he is trying to reconcile with his wife Nikki. "Silver Linings Playbook" is a moving drama film that is good for those who are familiar with any movies featuring Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and/or Robert De Niro and/or those who movies with comedy, drama, and/or romance.

Background Trance, October 10, 2013
"Trancemaster 7006" is a sixteen song collection by various trance/electronic music artists. There are some music tunes that also combine trance and classic music elements. For instance, one of my favorite songs on this compilation that combines both classical and trance music is that of "Morrel's Sonata in C Minor (TranzLift Remix) mixed by James Dymond. However, Trancemaster 7006 is best for those who are fine with listening to trance music that contains more beats than vocals.

Scripting Your Fate/Destiny, October 5, 2013
Previously, I first discovered some of the writings of Ronna Herman around 2008. I wish that I could 100% remember the original source, but it may have been either through Sedona Journal Magazine or amazon.com). One must have an open mind to read this book. This is because "Scripting Your Destiny" by Ronna Herman contains therapeutic information of a spiritual nature that is channeled. The following are some of the encouraging details in this book:
Page 122: How to visualize Spirit at your shoulder.
Pages 131-133 and 142-144: Information on "prosperity boxes" and how to create them.
Pages 204-207: Mighty I Am Presence of God meditations.
Pages 235-236: Self-Mastery decrees
"Scripting Your Destiny" by Ronna Herman is best for those who are open-minded to channeled books.

Reaching For The Stars In Life?, October 5, 2013
"Counting Stars" by One Republic contains impressive vocals and sounds to be a very stirring song about two people doing the best they could to create a better life for themselves. The lyrics also involve the life journey of a person who confesses to feeling alive when they are doing things that are considered risky and/or controversial. I wish that I could decipher the full meaning of the song, but nonetheless, "Counting Stars" by One Republic is best for those who like mashups of alternative rock and pop.

Universal And Ethereal Music, October 5, 2013

However, Theatrum by Antony Waldhorn, Character by Mark Sixma, Lakota (Ilan Bluestone Radio Edity) by CE3SAR, The Other Side by Skytech, Rise Again by Ronski Speed, Euphoria by Eximinds, Until The End Andrew Rayal &Jwaydan, and Apprehension (Aly & Fila Mix) by Sergey Nevone & Simon O'Shine are some of the many catchy electronic and trance music tunes available on Universal Religion 7 by Armin Van Buuren (Recorded at Privilege, Ibiza).

Cascada's Music Display, October 5, 2013
I first became aware of Cascada around 2007 when my husband and I were living in Florida with the song of "Everytime We Touch" being played on the radio. "Best of Cascada" by Cascada is a seventeen song music set that highlights a sampling of her music from around 2004 with the inclusion of "Miracale" and all the way until 2013 with "The World Is In My Hands." "Glorious", "Because The Night", "Truly Madly Deeply", and "Fever" are some of my favorite songs on this greatest hits collection. My only caveat, is that I wish that "Neverending Dream" would have made been included in this collection. Nonetheless, "The Best of Cascada" by Cascada is perfect for those who enjoy a blend of electronica, dance, and pop music and/or those who like at least six or greater Cascada songs.

Triumphant In Life Traveler, September 28, 2013
Yes, I did previously imply that my husband and I are determined to retire in the United States during a previous review and still intend to do so. However, one of the life goals (between my husband and I) involves eventually traveling for one month each year or every other year at a minimum. "The Affluent Traveler" magazine helps to safely indulge in this dream while simultaneously formulating plans.

Doing The Right Thing Or Easy Financial Survival?, November 2, 2013
I was gently convinced to watch "Burke & Hare" after my husband raved about Simon Pegg's and Andy Serkis's performance as the duo of Burke and Hare in the aptly named film. I also wanted to check it out as a way to further understand what my husband likes and I unexpectedly liked the movie more than I originally felt I would. The movie centers around two men who resort to desperate measures for their financial survival and is partially influenced by true life events from the 1800's. There have been times that I have been tempted to resort to crazy and legal means to improve my quality of life for my husband and I (while being harm-free to other people). This is only due to being subjected to certain life tests even after doing the "right things" for myself and for the greater good of others in life and witnessing the charmed lives of others who have little concern for doing what is "right". It is mainly my conscience that has stopped me from acting on such dark temptations. Naturally, these life experiences helped me understand the motivations of the characters and plot of the movie. For instance, the characters of Burke & Hare are shown figuring out the best way to flesh out a decent living for themselves after Lucky (Hare's wife) expresses concern on how to meet their basic expenses. My husband greatly admired the comedy that Pegg and Serkis provided through their wacky portrayals of Burke and Hare conducting "business" for a doctor in one of Scotland's top medical schools. However, he let me know that Jessica Hynes portrayal of Lucky was among one of his favorite performances in the movie. This was due to Lucky being portrayed as a shrewd encourager of her husband's enterprise and her aggressive nature as the brain-trust in their marriage. In contrast, I enjoyed the love story brewing between Simon Pegg's William Burke and Isla Fisher's Ginny Hawkins. It was both fun and comedic watching the character of Ginny Hawkins convincing Burke to fund her thespian dreams using her natural beauty, wit, and feminine wiles. Burke & Hare is good for those who are fine with watching British movies with a bit of tragic comedy.

Katy Perry's Music Confetti, October 23, 2013
I excitedly pre-ordered "Prism" by Katy Perry (deluxe version) due to my previous music enjoyment of "Teenage Dream" (from 2010) and a strong intuitive feeling to purchase this collection. I am glad that I followed my psychic hunch because many of these songs are happy and symbolize a message of cheerfully relishing various facets of life. There is something for many men and women in "Prism" such as the being unstoppable and resilient in life through the song "Roar" and being in love with someone who is a kindred spirit to you: such as through the music track "Double Rainbow". Obviously, I'm fully aware that personal song favorites are going to be as varied as the listeners of "Prism". My personal favorites are "Birthday", "International Smile", "Dark Horse", "Legendary Lovers" and "Walking On Air". However, there are many more music tunes to enjoy on "Prism" such as "Unconditionally", "This How We Do", "This Moment", "By The Grace Of God", and "It Takes Two." "Prism" (deluxe version) by Katy Perry is definitely recommended if you enjoyed Katy Perry and/or you like music collections sprinkled with pop, hip-hop, and eurodance melodies.

Lamb's Vegas Trip, October 19, 2013
Paradise is a sentimental film about a religious female named Lamb who almost dies in a plane crash. She survives, but her faith is drastically tested. Lamb decides to vacation in Las Vegas and meets William and Loray. From what is portrayed in the film, Lamb's finances to fund the trip appear to come from settlement money from her near death accident. The characters of Loray and William carefully help Lamb navigate through various places in Las Vegas through their own free will. I found this interesting because the symbolization of benevolent friendship is being depicted in the film. Octavia Spencer, Russell Brand, and Juliane Hough are the main stars in "Paradise" (which is a family friendly film).

Natural Lavigne And Kroeger Duo, October 19, 2013
"Let Me Go" by Avril Lavigne feat. Chad Kroeger appears to be a serious ballad about either letting go of a person, situation, and/or other difficult circumstance. At the time of this writing, the music video for this song is available online. They both actually duet well together in this video and it is clear to see that they are very much in love (despite the somber message of the song). "Let Me Go" by Avril Lavigne feat. Chad Kroeger is great for those who like music by either and/or both of the artists (as well as rock/pop mashups).

Alliances In Wonderland, October 19, 2013
"Once Upon A Time In Wonderland" follows the journey of Alice trying to find her lost love, with the help of her friend the Knave of Hearts . Both the Knave of Hearts and Alice also sometimes reach out to a talking rabbit. However, even after episode two, both Alice and the Knave of Hearts are unaware that the Red Queen is using the talking rabbit for information. There is fine acting done in the depictions of Alice, the Knave of Hearts, the talking rabbit, Jaffar, and Cyrus. However, my favorite character at the moment is that of the Red Queen played by Emma Rigby. This is because Rigby plays a queen that is both complex and keeps the character of Jaffar frequently guessing her next moves. I also like the costumes that were created for the Red Queen in episodes 1 and 2. "Once Upon A Time In Wonderland" is perfect for those who enjoy fantasy television series.

Ambitious Men, October 19, 2013
"Mad Men Season 1" caught my attention because of my fascination with the public relations world and the story being based on the career symbolism of advertising (which is indirectly related to public relations). I unexpectedly learned the various ways that media and other various outlets can have subtle influence. It was also important for me to watch the first season in order to help me further understand the other seasons of Mad Men that I intend to watch. The following are some of the various facets of the season 1 that piqued my interest and made the characters relatable and series worthwhile to watch:
The characters of Don Draper, Betty Draper, and Rachel Menken have all experienced what it feels like to lose their mothers to physical death. Additionally, the character of Don Draper had to secretly carry the societal stigma of his late biological mother being a prostitute. I also liked how Betty Draper was portrayed as a dynamic woman who adores both her children and husband but yearns for a life of her own outside the home. I feel that this portrayal is realistic due to my own personal experiences of observing my late adoptive mother until I was 18 years old. She dearly loved my siblings and me as well as my adoptive father. However, I frequently noticed that her face lit up more during the time periods in her life when she had to get ready for work.
Watching the characters of Joan Holloway giving career advice to Peggy Olson made gave the series a great touch because both women were carefully navigating their professional lives while dealing with workplace sexual harassment. The Progressive Car Insurance lady (Stephanie Courtney) and Darby Stanchfield (from the TV series Scandal) also make appearances during Mad Men season 1.
The following pop culture references are among those mentioned in Mad Mean season 1: Lady Chatterley, Sara Lee cake, Atlas Shrugged, Mad magazine, Rosetta Stone, and Clearasil.
Mad Men Season 1 is a fascinating series to watch for those who are either interested in American culture from the 1960's, enjoy watching drama series, and/or those curious about the world of advertising.

Alternate Time Adventures of "The Doctor", October 19, 2013
I admit that I decided to watch Doctor Who (season 1) as one of the ways to bond with my husband and to further understand his inner world. He is a Doctor Who fanatic and recommended that I watch the first season starring Christopher Eccleston (G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra, upcoming Thor movie) and Billie Piper (Secret Diary Of A Call Girl tv series) in order to help me get the message of the subsequent seasons. The series opens with the character of Rose unintentionally meeting "The Doctor" after an eerie encounter involving mannequins. Simon Pegg (The World's End), John Barrowman (Torchwood tv series) and Richard Wilson (Merlin tv series) are among some of the celebrities who guest star in season 1 of Doctor Who. Simon Pegg features in The Long Game episode (#7), while Jack Barrowman and Richard Wilson first make appearances in "The Empty Child" episode (#9). Doctor Who (season 1) is great for those who are fine with watching science fiction television series involving time travel plots.

Wealth Of Opportunities, October 10, 2013
Recently, I have had to become even more selective about what books to keep after releasing 80% of the books that I currently own. I pay for all of the books that I review out of my own pocket and I intend wisely keep only the books that I would put into actual application. During this process I intuitively felt drawn to "Riches For You" by Gary M. Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer due to my intent to accomplish my top five goals of raising my wealth vibration and increasing my psychic faculties. In order to delve straight to the review, I must only disclose that I am utilizing "Riches For You" for the wealth vibration and the work of Lynn Robinson for my intuition goals. One of the areas that "Riches For You" by Gary M. Douglas & Dr. Dain Heer touches on is the relationship of the ability to receive in correlation to the outcome of a man or woman's financial output. Their chapter on "evidentiary contrivances" is also helpful. I really wish that I would have known about their work just four years ago, but I'm glad to now be exposed to this information. The following are some of the details enclosed in this book:
Pages 22-23: Information on asking unlimited questions and evidentiary contrivances is featured.
Pages 55-57: The authors explain what it means to "generate your life."
Pages 95-97: The idea of demanding financial milestones are covered.
This is all that I feel guided to reveal out of respect for the authors. I intend to keep writing other kind of online reviews, but this is my last book review until at least November 2016. However, I intend to keep this book, apply it and follow with an update on my results by around the timeframe of somewhere between November 2016 to June 2017. "Right Riches For You" by Gary M. Douglas & Dr Dain Heer is great for those who hunger to know unconventional ways of being more receptive to the increased opportunities that are affiliated with abundance.

Music Blend Of Dance, Folk, & Country, October 10, 2013
"Timber" by Pitbull ft. Kesha is a playful mashup of what sounds like folk country tunes with dance music. It sounds as if a harmonica is playing in the background, slightly reminiscent musically of "Cotton Eye Joe" but peformed in the uniqueness of Pitbull & Ke$ha. The song talks about dancing and having fun, which would make it a strong musical candidate to play at a party and/or a club. "Timber" by Pitbull feat. Kesha is great for those who enjoy music from either Pitbull and/or Ke$ha or those who like music experimentation.
