Goulding’s Music Transformation, November 12, 2015
Ellie Goulding projects much of her innovative musical life force into the club And indie dance music effort that is Delirium. With the deluxe 2 cd set of Delirium I got the best of both worlds because there Are multiple distinctive songs on Delirium such As Something in the way you move, Army, Don’t Panic, Scream It Out, Codes, Devotion, Lost And Found. There Are Also emotion pouring songs on her deluxe tracks such As I love what I do and paradise. For those still unsure, there Are the brilliant songs of Love Me Like You Do (featured on the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack), Outside (collaboration with Calvin Harris), Powerful feat. Major Lazer, and On My Mind Are currently Available for free viewing online And Also Available on Delirium by Ellie Goulding.

Quality Garbage Bags, November 12, 2015
These Hefty Blackout Tall Kitchen trash Bags, Clean Breeze, 90 Count are extremely sturdy and I’m glad that my husband and I got these from my mother in law. The clean scent that comes with the bags is very much Akin to that of a mountain breeze or springtime. I also like that these bags are very durable.

Romantic Holiday Comedy, November 12, 2015
The front of the Love Actually dvd cover has pictures of Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Rowan Atkinson, Bill Nighy, and Martine Mccutcheon. The back of the DVD cover of Love Actually features a love scene of Colin Firth As Jamie kissing on a woman he has a major crush on in the movie (Sienna Guillory), a scene from the movie of the character Juliet (Keira Knightley) being approached by a man named Mark who crushes on her (Andrew Lincoln). There is also a scene of the character of Daniel (Liam Neeson) spending time with his son Sam (Thomas Sangster). There Are Also features of several other celebrities in the film such As Chiwetel Ejiofor, Martine Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, January Jones, Denise Richards, and many more celebrities. Additionally, there was another version of the song All I Want for Christmas is You featured in Love Actually which I’m guessing is a polite tribute to Mariah Careys rendition. There Are multiple stories weaved into Love Actually that deal with Grant’s portrayal As A Prime Minister, Rickman’s portrayal As A successful businessman who loves his wife And kids very much yet is Also tested by what goes on At his job, Firth’s character dealing with sense of conflict Around having romantic feelings for someone who was tasked to be his professional Assistant, Liam Neeson playing A man who is helping his son deal with the ups And downs of being in love, And more stories. There Are Also over 30 deleted scenes of Love Actually within the dvd I bought, the music of love Actually, A bonus feature of the trouble with love is by Kelly Clarkson, And feature commentary with director Richard Curtis And Actors Hugh grant, bill Nighy, And Thomas Sangster. This DVD version is also available in multiple languages and subtitles; English, Spanish, And French (including AN option for the hearing impaired). I know I’m probably A little highly interested in British movies and/or music for being a proud American with no rational explanation why. Watching a lot of British type of movies And listening to the music from some of the musicians/groups from England is consolation for me until I visit (I Admit that I came close to getting stationed there through the navy back in 2004 but I Admit that I did not want to go without my husband, yet strangely enough my husband And I unexpectedly got Assigned on base military housing with a street called England court South the following year (2005) At A military base we moved to together.

Pursuing A Dream Despite Adversity, November 12, 2015
I admit that the aspiring writer/screenwriter became intrigued to know more about the story of Trumbo once I saw An Ad in A free local newspaper showing A movie coming out About Dalton Trumbo. I purchased A book based on Trumbo’s life story, but decided to Also check out this documentary in order to help me better understand the book (my learning style allows me to learn so much via reading but for some reason my mind is wired to pick it up even faster if I see it photographically or in this case via a documentary). I’m so glad to have gotten the chance to buy and see this documentary of Trumbo and intend to do so at least two more times or more before I check out the 2015 Trumbo movie. There is so much information packed in this Trumbo documentary And world famous Actors/Actresses featured delivering portions of Trumbo’s life story; Donald Sutherland, Liam Neeson, Paul Giamatti, Michael Douglas, David StraithArn, Josh Lucas, Joan Allen, Brian Dennehy, Kirk Douglas, Dustin Hoffman, Nathan Lane, Trumbo’s friends/family members And many more people. I have At least 8 pages worth of notes in a 3x5 notebook that I wrote down from the Trumbo documentary that I was going to write in this review. However, for some reason, part of me was concerned about writing too much to where I may unintentionally spoil it for someone who has not seen this Trumbo 2007 documentary (however, I intend to share the notes by the end of December 2015 on my personal blogs for anyone curious). However, I intuitively felt guided to At least share the listing of the Hollywood ten that were questioned Along with Dalton Trumbo; John Howard Lawson Oscar Nominee for Best Story called Blockade, Adrian Scott Oscar Nominee for Best picture of movie titled Crossfire, Herbert Biberman Director for Salt of the Earth, Alvah Bessie Oscar Nominee of Best Story for Objective Burma, Around the time Dalton Trumbo was questioned At the hearing it was listed that he was An Oscar nominee for Kitty Foyle for Best Screenplay, Ring Lardner Jr. Best Screenplay for Woman of The Year, Albert Maltz Oscar Nominee for Best Screenplay for Pride of the Marines, Lester Cole screenwriter for The House of Seven Gables, Samuel Ornitz Screenwriter for Little Orphan Annie, Edward Dmytrykk Oscar Nominee And Best Direction for The Caine Mutiny, Crossfire. There is Also An interview of An Author name Peter Hanson who wrote the book Dalton Trumbo Hollywood Rebel And past sound bites from names connected with notoriety such As Joseph McCarthy And J. Edgar Hoover. Once Again, I would like to share more but I understand that I must take into consideration those who have yet to see the documentary.

Strong Royal Purple Color, November 12, 2015
Iman luxury taboo lipstick softens the lips and gives a strong bright purple color that enhances certain colors of clothes. I also enjoyed that the Iman Luxury lipstick does not wipe off easily when drinking certain liquids. From my perspective, the Iman luxury taboo lipstick epitomizes the theme of renegade beauty.

Monsoon tries desperately to forge an equally strong connection with her daughter Saffron Monsoon (Julia Sawalha).

Generous Millionaires, November 12, 2015
First off, please know that I Admit that subconsciously I purchase episodes to some of these shows as ideas towards Areas I’m looking at within my own life with harm-free intent towards others but personal reasons that I currently prefer to Avoid disclosing. I actually went by purely my intuition on the Wednesday morning (November 11) that I decided to spontaneously purchase episode 1 of Secret Millionaire Season 3 without even knowing that it would feature An Area pertaining to military veterans. There Are multiple reasons why I plan on eventually purchasing the whole season 3 of Secret Millionaire After watching one episode but first one of the reasons; A secret millionaire Artist Scott Jacobs And his daughter Alexa Jacobs voluntarily leave what Appears to be both An exciting And comfortable life behind in California for A more challenging And rough And tumble type of life in Newark Jersey to help out some people from the kindness of their hearts. I confess that I admire this because if I was Already living a life of financial plenty in California I would most likely volunteer in California only. The fact that Scott and Alexa Jacobs Agreed to fly out to help in New Jersey (even with the concern of Scott’s wife And Alexa’s mother) made me see how big their hearts are to willingly volunteer in uncertain conditions. Anyhow, once Scott And Alexa Jacobs Are in Newark New Jersey they both go to work giving of themselves vial volunteering in the following organizations; I.Y.O-InternAtionAL Youth Organization, Veterans transition Center that features A G.I. Go Fund And A Midnight Mission initiative searching for homeless veterans, A Glass Roots group, It is mentioned in episode one that the organizations did not know that they were dealing with secret millionaire volunteers, which was A significant deal especially since I noticed that one of the organizations-I think it was I.Y.O- had An uplifting Heaven on Earth montage of various colors. Anyhow, generous donations are eventually made to the organizations that total out to well over $100,000 dollars. One of the organizations is then able to start an internship program because of the generous money donation. Additionally, the military veterans group was Able to purchase new vans to expand the in mobile outreach to homeless veterans. There is also a touching tribute in Episode one that is Also listed to be in memory of Lt. Seth Dvorin who lived from 1979 until 2004.

Washington D.C. Cooking Challenge, November 12, 2015
I admit that this past Tuesday (November 10)I purchased episode 1 of Season 7 Top Chef-House of Chef-presentatives as a subconscious way to see if I would want to eventually buy the rest of the season (which yes I would). The first reason; I was curious as to how A cooking competition would go within the D.C. area. First off, there are various contestants representing various walks of life. For instance, there is a contestant who is married with two twins at home, another is a popular chef in the Atlanta Georgia area and was even voted in the Top 25 of chefs, another chef had their first cooking experience around the age of 3 with eggs, another mentioned about being an instructor with the Culinary Institute of America, one contestant caters for a living, and another Top Chef D.C. contestant mentioned about owning three restaurants within the D.C. area (of course there Are more goal-oriented chefs featured in this episode). Another feature that makes me want to eventually purchase A dvd set of season 7 top chef And/or the whole season; There is the potential of the winner being in Food & Wine magazine, and the winner gets to receive $20,000 dollars. The chefs are tasked with preparing for a kickoff party for the Cherry Blossom festival that is mentioned about including several Accomplished Washingtonians. Some of the ingredients in one of the challenges; 10 potatoes, 10 cups of onions, And 4 chickens. One of the cooking events takes place At the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. The contestants were given 300 dollars to shop At Whole Foods and 4 hours to prep in the G.E. Monogram Top Chef Kitchen.

A Glimpse Into One Part of A Travel Worker’s Life?, November 12, 2015
This episode of Below Deck Season 3 Episode 8 (Boom Boom In The Hotel Room) contains some quirky moments involving At least two of the workers clashing over leadership styles. The issue involves one of the chefs and communications with another worker. Then there is the case of two people who seem to have A mutual romantic interest in each other, which is catchy because it is common knowledge that in real life, And in various walks of life, the mutual romantic interest is not Always the case (and at least one person is left with how to let a person down gently without damaging a romantic-free alliance).

A Type of Dance?, November 12, 2015
Peanut Butter Jelly by Galantis is is an indie electronic/dance song that sounds like something that can easily be played At A club. The online video for Peanut Butter Jelly is pretty funny today and made me think that maybe the song was referring to some type of dance called Peanut Butter Jelly though I understand that Peanut Butter Jelly by Galantis is could mean something else.

Modern electronic remake of, November 12, 2015
The first thing that truthfully came into my mind when hearing Free.k by Pitbull is that it is A modern club version/musical nod to Adina Howard’s version of Freak Like Me And/or Sugababes Freak Like Me. Either way, one must be open-minded because Pitbull takes the daring push the envelope type of musical energy with Free.k in A similar way to some of his other songs such As Hotel Room Service And/or Give Me Everything (that features Neyo, Afrojack, Nayer).

For Those Who Like the Mad Men tv series and/or Eclectic Music, November 5, 2015
Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men contains a wide range of relaxing vintage, chillout, and classic hit music that is perfect for relaxation. I’m lucky to have found out about this music set from being on a mailing list affiliated with the AMC channel (and I admit that I was advised to watch the Mad Men show from talking to a freelancer that I met at an Orlando Florida Abraham Hicks seminar back in May 23,2009 after they noted my interest in public relations/advertising). There is a wide selection of eclectic music artists featured on the music soundtrack of Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men such as; My Special Angel by Bobby Helms, Don’t Think Twice Its All Right by Bob Dylan, Cest Magnifique by Christina Hendricks, The End of The World by Skeeter Davis (though it is hard for me to unsee the image from my mind regarding the Girl Interrupted movie that this song is affiliated with and featuring the late Brittany Murphy, Wynona Ryder, Angelina Jolie etc.), Shahdaroba by Roy Orbison, Zou Bisou Bisou, The Beach Boys, and more music on Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men (feat. various artists from different music genres).

Metaphorical Writing Journeys, November 5, 2015
You’ve Got A Book In You; A Stress Free Guide To Writing The Book of Your Dreams by Elizabeth Sims covers areas such as Planning Your Book and Setting Off Your Journey As An Author (starts on page 97), A Stress-free Guideline Stormwriting example featuring the characters Zoe, Jim, Lt. Halsey, Senator Carson (pg. 188), Interviewing Yourself About Your book (page 241) and more. This book of You’ve Got A Book In You by Elizabeth Sims is important to me because I strongly believe it is part of my life purpose and destiny to at least write on the side regardless of what others think and what is included in this book helps keep me accountable. For instance, I received a great intuitive idea to write freestyle at least 4 times a week while doing the actual book on the side regardless of what I do as my main job and regardless of when my works are published with little care as to whether my writing generates attention while I’m alive. However, I admit to have slipped up on the 4 times a week this week on my freestyle writing goal and know that it is ok to allow myself a chance to rest from writing until after my birthday this Sunday, but to jump back on the metaphorical writing horse by next week. Books such as You’ve Got A Book In You by Elizabeth Sims are portable forms of spiritual encouragement to me regardless of how my professional life unfolds.

HairColoring Options, November 5, 2015
Hair To Dye For; A How To Color Guide by Penny Baptista (listed to also be available in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian editions) contains a wealth of information for those who are ready to take the color plunge. The following is some of the helpful information included in Penny Baptista’s coloring book; Haircolor can be divided up into five categories based on the way color interacts with hair; temporary, semi-permanent and demi permanent, permanent, high-lift, natural organic colors, levels and tone (in relation to how light or dark someone’s hair color is and how to tell their level), hair color application techniques, and more. I’m psychologically ready for whatever positive and/or negative attention I would get for lightening my hair, but I had to make sure that I was permanently ready to give up on using chemical relaxers on my hair even though I plan on only coloring my hair once every 6 months (reluctantly I admit to understanding firsthand what Chris Rock meant when he joked about women who are addicted to the relaxers in his 2009 Good Hair documentary). Fortunately, my husband loves me how I already am (even with how much I currently weigh) but he is also supportive of me lightening my hair. However, I admit to also having the courage to lighten my hair from the following music videos; Keyshia Cole’s red hair in the music video Give It Up To Me ft. Sean Paul, Keyshia Cole’s red hair in the music video Last Night feat. P. Diddy, Keri Hilson’s hair in the music video Lose Control ft. Nelly, Rihanna’s hair in the music video Cheers Drink To That feat. Avril Lavigne, Mary J. Blige’s hair in the music video Just Fine, Beyonce’s hair in the music video Drunk In Love feat. Jay Z, Kat De Luna’s hair in the music video Drop It Low, blonde curly haired model in the music video Hotel Room Service by Pitbull, the blonde curly haired model in the music video Gasolina by Daddy Yankee, Jennifer Lopez’s hair in I’m Real (Alt version), The Red haired dancer in Yo No Se by Pajama Party, and Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean. I admit that I also obviously take back a past facebook post that compared one famous female with two other celebrities after she dyed her hair blond (I don’t consider the facebook post I wrote to be negative, but I could have stayed more neutral about her decision to lighten her hair).

Dynamic Talent, November 5, 2015
Chopped Junior Season One Episode One opens up with some inspirational stories from all of the kids featured who I consider mini-teachers because I learned so much from watching them in terms of believing in yourself and being unwavering in what you want. I also came away with some ideas for future meals that I can cook for my husband and I. The following is some of the fascinating information just from episode one of Chopped Junior Season One; One of the contestants Bryce wants to become the best cook in America, while Elliott wants to have his own cooking show and be famous. Judges Marcella Valla Dolid (a Food Network Host), Geoffrey Zakarain a chef & restaurateur, and Billy Gardell (from Mike and Molly) feature in episode one of Chopped Junior Season One. The following are some of the ingredients used in some of the meals for episode one; Swordfish, Figs , Oystersauce for one completion, the 2nd challenge; lamb loin chops, mini pepperoni pizza, Chinese long beans, and candied sardines, the 3rd challenge for dessert; lemon curd, pound cake, candy powder, ricotta cheese.

Part of D.C. Society Drama?, November 5, 2015
I reluctantly admit that I purchased Real Housewives of D.C. Season One back in August 11, 2011 when I originally and previously had my mind made up to permanently live here in the D.C. area no matter what and partially due to a curiosity in how some of the D.C. area residents from the wealthier socio-economic classes live. A preview of some of the information from some of the participants on the Real Housewives of D.C.; Stacie is a Real Estate Agent who has attended Harvard Business School, she has a real estate portfolio of 150 million dollars and makes at least 25-30 million dollars in real estate per year. Stacie has been married to her husband Jason for 12 years and has a daughter named Catherine. Participant Lynda runs a top modeling agency in the Washington D.C. area and has 4 children (Lynda’s work has brought her into contact with ambassadors and dignitaries, she has a boyfriend named Ebong). Michaele Salahi has done modeling and organized events pertaining to charity events, meetings, dinners. Another contestant Cat is married to a White House photographer and another participant named Mary Amon’s whose husband who was invited to an event hosted by Washingtonian magazine for his fashion sense. Real Housewives of D.C. Season One feature candid thoughts from some of the D.C. housewives on why there are clashes. For instance, at one of the dinner parties there is a chef (Cheo) that is invited to make the meals and some of his clients have been known to be Janet Jackson, Tyra Banks, and Patrick Ewing. The dinner party host gets to know one of the guests and right away there are clashes in regards to differing opinions on Tyra Banks, President Obama, and former President Bush. Additionally, speaking of President Obama, the Real Housewives of D.C. Season One also includes two people (Michaele Salahi, Tareq Salahi) that have a controversial media distinction of being part of the 2009 U.S. state dinner security breaches.

A Well Intentioned Plan However, November 5, 2015
The Nightmare Before Christmas centers around the character of Jack Skellington. Skellington is well-known in his world of Halloweentown. However, he wants to do something different for the tradition of Halloweentown and has an idea to try to take on the role of Santa Claus. Skellington manages to use his leadership skills to convince other Halloweentown residents such as rag doll Sally and the Mayor of Halloweentown to help him with his plans for Christmastown. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a comical family movie filled with a little bit of dark humor. For this aspiring writer/scriptwriter I also saw character development around what can happen if a person may try to do something, even under the best intentions if they were actually wired for something else (i.e. Jack Skellington is made for Halloweentown and actually has a big heart of gold but wants to change up his life by spearheading Christmas traditions). For me, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas is interesting timing because I’m in the process of deciding between two long-term career goals that may affect how my life turns out in the 2030’s when I’m in my 50’s (one is filled with more excitement, higher pay comparable to what I had while in the U.S. navy for repaying my student loans, and opportunities to work anywhere even within the company I currently work at but the only catch is that it would require more schooling, entry into the field is more exclusive/competitive, and/or may or may not fit with what my soul’s natural gifts are while the other idea seems to fit with my soul’s makeup and is more wide open with less barrier to entry,but does not seem as exciting, higher pay in the long-term is not guaranteed for repaying my student loans, and less job stability/job security). Anyhow, the film The Nightmare Before Christmas is also one of those type of movies that actually leaves you smiling and feeling uplifted after watching it even with the setting being Halloweentown and the animation that comes with the film.

The Determined Spouse, November 5, 2015
The Good Wife Season One features the character of Alicia Florrick (Julianna Marguiles) who unexpectedly has to both revamp and reinvent her life once her husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) gets caught in charges related to corruption. Fortunately, Alicia Florrick has some professional skills as a lawyer that come in handy as she works to rebuild her life and that for those around her (i.e. her kids and her mother in law who steps in to help her out). As she works to re-establish her professional credibility she also is forced to deal with some of her husband’s professional rivals and/or enemies. Of course, there are many more actors and actresses who contribute to season one of The Good Wife (I was just listing the information I was intuitively guided to share). Nonetheless, The Good Wife is great for those who enjoy tv shows that include themes of professional empowerment.

Mischief Among Communication Directors?, November 5, 2015
West Wing Season One has various well-known actors and actresses such as Allison Janney, Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe etc. West Wing Season One is also a good tv show to watch for those who like to watch career trends related to public relations, advertising and/or ideas for career scriptwriting. For instance, there is a scene where Rob Lowe, a White House communications director, is temporarily assigned to entertain a group of grade schoolers who won an essay contest. He gets nervous and wants to find out which kid is related to someone who he is trying to impress. It turns out that the teacher of the class is the one he has to be concerned about because she ends up correcting him in regards to what he says about the Roosevelt Room named after Theodore Roosevelt (in real life there is a U.S. navy aircraft carrier also named after Roosevelt; i.e The USS Roosevelt). There is also a reference made to the USS Eisenhower (which I found interesting because I had been stationed on that ship before during part of my time in the U.S. navy). West Wing Season One in no way related to who I see becoming the Presidential nominees (it is obvious that it looks like that Trump is going to win the Republican nomination while Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, I do prefer for Clinton to win yet I understand that this is not the review for me to elaborate doing so).

Investigating Trangressions By Law, November 5, 2015
NCIS Season One opens with the incident of a navy commander mysteriously dying on Air Force One. There ends up at first being an initial struggle between the Secret Service, FBI, and the NCIS over who is meant to be assigned to the case. The crazy part is that the navy commander had unexpectedly died after eating a rib meal where he was invited by the president (no the president did not do it). Anyhow, NCIS Season one is great for anyone who enjoys watching military themed television shows.

Shocking Abbey, November 5, 2015
Downtown Abbey Season 1 is listed to open during the time period of April 1912. Right away, I recognized that one of the actresses (Margaret Natalie Smith) who plays Violet Crawley from the Harry Potter movies (Minerva McGonagall). There are so many twists and turns in this series as the various workers of Downton Abbey interact with each other and the family that they are employed for. It also shows how some of the family members are capable of humanity. For example, there is an episode where one of the servants is about to drive away from the mansion due to his leg not working properly. However, one of the decision makers of Downton Abbey decides to stop him and prevent him from going partially out of what seems to be his concern for an employee who shows promise but is still working through an obvious health issue.

Introduction To Recent Ellie Goulding, November 5, 2015
On My Mind by Ellie Goulding is a memorable pop and electro song that appears to be about someone and/or a happenstance that stands out in your mind. I read an article online where there was media speculation on who may have inspired the song On My Mind. I believe Ellie Goulding’s statement when she explained that the song is not inspired by who many think the muse is (Ed Sheeran). However, for spiritually karmic reasons, I prefer to avoid further explaining my thoughts on who and/or what inspired On My Mind by Ellie Goulding.

The singer is also implying that his love interest also helps him to see the brighter side of life in the song My Girl by The Temptations (from what I’m guessing).

Came From A Special Holiday Section At My Job, November 5, 2015
This Martinelli’s Gold Medal Sparkling Apple Cranberry (25.4 Fl. Oz) is 100% juice and is alcohol free. I like the careful balance of apple and cranberry flavor in this juice that is akin to a tart and fresh green granny smith apple blended with a subtle cranberry taste.

Unintended Outcome?, October 30, 2015
I intend to watch the 2015 film Our Brand Is Crisis sometime within the next 14 days. However, I followed my intuition to check out the documentary that the 2015 movie is based on in order to get a stronger understanding of what is happening and to help me further understand and enjoy the 2015 movie of Our Brand is Crisis (starring Sandra Lee Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton) when I go to watch it. I admit that shocked is probably an understatement a person can use to describe what is listed online to be Our Brand is Crisis from the year 2005. The following are some of the facts that I was able to write down from the Our Brand Is Crisis Documentary (any that I left out was done with harmless intent as I was also doing my best to relax a little while watching Our Brand is Crisis documentary);
The Film opens February 2003-Anti government riots break out in the streets of La Paz Bolivia. One Year Earlier February 2002; Greenville Carville Schrum (GCS) a political consulting firm in Washington D.C. is contacted by MNR Party Candidate Gonzalo (Goni) Sanchez De Lozada an MNR Party Candidate. One of the Scenes then flashes to Jeremy Rosner GCS Pollster & Chief Strategist.
Then the screen flashes Boynton Films Presents In Association with The BBC, Films Transit, Urban Empire, and The Slough Pond Company a film by Rachel Boynton. The film lists that Goni Sanchez was a Bolivian businessman raised in the U.S. From 1993 to 1997 he was president of Bolivia one of the poorest countries in Latin America. As president, Goni opened Bolivia to foreign investment in a controversial program called capitalization. This capitalization move was unpopular with many Bolivians but garnered him international praise. Now In 2002, Goni was running for president again as one of 11 candidates. He hired a team of American political consultants to advise his campaign on polling, campaign management, strategy, and advertising. The consultants flew to Bolivia to help Goni communicate his message to the people; James Carville GCS strategist, Stan Greenberg GCS pollster, and they showed Carlos Mesa the VP candidate to Goni’s presidential candidacy. There was a pop culture reference of Winnie The Pooh. Other details; Tad Devine an Advertising consultant for GCS was featured, Tal Berstein GCS consultant, Mauricio Balcazar Goni’s Press Advisor, Then there is a tv ad where Goni states; Carlos mesa and I have prepared an emergency plan, restore social security, invest money in gas for youth education because Bolivia had more natural gas than any other country in Latin America; they were planning public works to create jobs and stop the crisis, goni and mesa’s message at the time; were planning public works to create jobs and stop the crisis, the economy must be managed with honesty and seriousness, its not time for radical change or irresponsible experiments. Further quotes affiliated with Goni; we can stop the crisis and return hope to Bolivia. Then who appears to be one of Goni’s PR (press men) says yes it can be done with a photo of an old man smiling and the Spanish saying Si Se Puede (yes it can be done). Goni;s campaign headquarters is shown and his political rival Evo Morales an MAS Party Candidate; Then there is a female journalists’s luncheon at Goni’s home, an informed female journalist posed this question to Goni at the luncheon; they say indigenous leaders are stealing some of the MNR’s traditional voters, supporters of the MNR’s national revolution in 1952 what do you think, Goni’s Reply; It’s a strange phenomenon, very authoritarian, leaders like Evo Morales force communities to vote a certain way, we’ll challenge this in the elections, you can’t say to a town if I don’t win here the indigenous leaders will punish you.
More Details in the Our Brand is Crisis documentary; Manfred Reyes Villa NFR Party Candidate, part of Reye’s statement; A President must be sensitive, he must travel throughout the country listening to the people we no longer want to see 800,000 children working in the streets selling candies, polishing shoes, or washing cars, that must be the Boliva of the past, the Boliva of the old, Cochabamba you allowed me to change this city as its mayor, now I ask you to help me change our beloved Bolivia so we live with sovereignty, dignity, and care for one another. Then the documentary moves to a scene at the home of Carlos Morales-Goni’s campaign manager. Another scene at what is listed in the documentary to be called the Marketing SRL in Bolivia shows the citizens (a forcus group)of Bolivia mentioning this about Goni for the purpose of the American political communication consultants collecting polling information; Remember when Goni was president what did he do? Social Security, health insurance, educational reform, capitalization, what do you think of capitalization and Goni/ He says capitalization created jobs, it didn’t, it brought investments, foreigners came took our jobs and left us with nothing, Goni thinks the last time he was president everything was pink, just great. Now Goni wants to do everything the same, which is bad, our governments haven’t met our basic needs; education, housing, jobs, that’s why we feel discontent. Then there is a scene showing Manuel Rocha- U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia. Election Final Results; Goni-22.5%, Evo-20.9%, Manfred-20.8%, fast forward to 7 months after election February 9, 2003-Goni admits that the country of Bolivia is at a crossroads and implied that changing the income taxes are a way to get the money flowing in Bolivia again. The Our Brand is Crisis documentary listed these tax proposals from Goni; If You Earn 1000 BS (143 dollars a month at the time) then the tax is 15 BS (2 dollars per month), If you earn 2000 BS (285 dollars per month) the tax is 140 BS (20 U.S. dollars at the time; 2003).

Unlimited Potential/Brainpower, October 30, 2015
I became interested in knowing more about the Limitless TV Series season one after seeing in a magazine article that Bradley Cooper endorses this TV Series. This was enough to convince me because my husband and I first watched the Limitless movie together when it was released back in 2011 and I even own a Limitless dvd (which I admit to buying last year). Anyhow, the Limitless TV series (Season One) opens with Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) running from FBI agent Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter). Finch’s life gets dramatically altered once one of his professionally accomplished friends gives him a drug that helps to dramatically increase his brainpower/mindpower. What complicates the issue is that he finds that there are multiple people that take the drug, including a character named Adam Honeycutt. Bradley Cooper also features in the Limitless television series as U.S. Senator Eddie Mora.

A Day In The Life Of A Communications Worker, October 30, 2015
The Pitch Season One contains some great information trends for anyone who is interested in advertising/public relations trends. The following is a glimpse into what is featured in Pitch Season 1;
In one of the episodes two advertising agencies are competing to have Subway on their account. One advertising agency is WDCW Advertising based out of Los Angeles, California. Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, and Quizno’s are some of the companies that have been their customers. The second advertising agency is McKinney Advertising based out of Durham, North Carolina. Travelocity and Lucky Strike are some of the companies that have been affiliated with McKinney Advertising.
The Subway Headquarters is shown being in Milord, Connecticut. The following are some of the people listed as being connected with either Subway, McKinney Advertising, or WDCW; Liz Paradise Group Creative Director of McKinney Advertising, Jonathan Cude Chief Creative Officer McKinney, Tony Pace Subway Chief Marketing Officer, Jenny McKinney Copywriter, Matt McCain WDCW Creative Director, Meg McKinney Art Director, two men by the name of Steve and Will are also shown being part of McKinney’s copywriting team. Skyler Strategy Director for WDCW.
Subway is shown briefing both agencies on what is expected of them. Both agencies consider several ideas from their creatives. McKinney Advertising decides to go with youtube rapper Mac Lethal for one of their promotional campaign ideas. WDCW decides to go with the “Zambie” idea. Jeff Jones President of MCKinney, Jeff Larson, VP of Subway Global Marketing, and Suzanne Greco VP of Research & Development are some of the people also featured in Pitch Season One. Of course, there is more to Pitch Season One than what I just wrote.

Enchanted Writing, October 30, 2015
I admit that I checked out this tv series of The Secret Circle Season One because I read online that Gale Harold is featured in this series (after I saw him in another tv series). Additionally, The Secret Circle tv series appealed to my tv watching genre preferences due to my confessed interest in the occult and with movies/tv series featuring witches. Anyhow, The Secret Circle tv series (season one) features some good music of which I’m not sure if a music soundtrack is available for the tv series (one of the songs that plays near the beginning of the Secret Circle series is Young Blood by the Naked & Famous). Anyhow, The Secret Circle follows the tale of a teenager named Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson) who reluctantly accepts that it is part of her destiny to be a witch after she meets other teenagers in her new hometown (Chance Harbor Washington) who have also lost a parent. Adam Conant (Thomas Dekker) and Diana Meade (Shelley Hennig) work the hardest to convince her to join their secret coven. The teenage coven also includes other members as well such as Melissa Glaser (Jessica Parker Kennedy), Jake Armstrong (Chris Zylka), and Faye Chamberlain (Phoebe Tonkin). Charles Meade (Gale Harold) is the father of Diana Meade and is definitely not the harmless person he initially appears to be on the outside. There are more actors/actresses of course who contribute to the TV series The Secret Circle Season One (I was just intuitively going by what I logically felt would be strong details to share).

From The Soup Aisle At My Job, October 30, 2015
I enjoy this Hormel Mary Kitchen Roast Beef Hash (15 ounce) can because it is both cheap and delectable. This roast beet hash is complimentary with eggs, some type of burritos or tacos, and/or just on its own. I also enjoy that this roast beef hash can be easily cooked either within 5 minutes on the stovetop or within three minutes after being heated in the microwave.

Magical Scriptwriting, October 30, 2015
Charmed Season One features the Halliwell sisters who find out that it is actually part of their destiny to be witches. Sisters Prue Halliwell (Shannen Doherty), Piper Halliwell (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano). Prue is able to easily move objects with just looking at them especially when she gets mad, Piper is able to literally pause people in place/temporarily stops time (which especially comes in handy when she is in danger, and Phoebe has highly developed psychic abilities that allow her to see into the future and know what’s going on. Phoebe and Prue at first get off to a rough start at the beginning of the series, especially over what appears to be some trustfund guy that appeared to indirectly affect their bond. However, Piper helps serve as the mediator and bring Phoebe and Prue to get along.

Unlimited Possibilities, October 30, 2015
Sofia The First (Season One) opens with an event of the Kingdom’s princes riding on flying horses. Princess Sofia loves her family, friends, and her life. However she would like to enter the derby herself and asks Sir Gilliam one of the organizers if she could join. He does not know what to tell her at first and even one of her other friends Amber gently tells her to just enjoy living as a princess. However, Sofia the First wants to break tradition and enlists the help of her father. He asks James to help his sister train for the derby, but it is complicated by one of the other riders Hugo making fun of Sofia for even daring want to enter the Derby. Just this episode alone has a positive message of going after what you set your mind to with strong determination. Sofia The First Season One is great for both casual tv watchers and aspiring writers/scriptwriters because of the uplifting vibes/message affiliated with Sofia The First.

An Unexpected Positive Message, October 30, 2015
The Way You Move (Club Mix Explicit) by Outkast feat. Sleepy Brown is an appealing song that basically is a mix of club music (as it lists in the title), R&B, and dance. The title of the song pretty much sums up the song’s meaning, yet I also interpret the song to symbolize liking many things about a person. I admit that I first heard The Way You Move by Outkast (feat. Sleepy Brown) back around 2003 when I was living in California. One of the positives about this song is that women of various shapes, sizes, skin complexions, hair textures/hair lengths,and personalities are featured in the online music video that is currently available for free viewing (which to me the online music video sends out a powerful/healing indirect message of why it is helpful to think highly of yourself regardless of how you are externally seen and/or perceived).

Ambitious Concept, October 30, 2015
Please know that I understand that both Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons have successfully moved on with their love lives. This dvd caught my interest initially due to the feature of publicists and Kimora Lee Simmons self-confident and enterprising persona. This dvd of Kimora Life In The Fab Lane Season 1 is a spellbinding foray into her entourage and her life. Dvds like this are an important study because it is common knowledge that women as successful/accomplished as Kimora Lee Simmons do not always allow the public into their lives via either a dvd or book. I’m grateful that she did because I unexpectedly obtained more various life insights out of the dvd that what I initially expected to get. The following are some of the riveting scenes/information in the dvd Kimora Lee Simmons; Life In The Fab Lane Season 1;

Groundbreaking, October 30, 2015
Veep Season 1 stars Julia Louis Dreyfus as a zealous and energetic Vice President Selina Meyer who enjoys her job and has many workers surrounding her who keep up on the day to day communications of what goes on in the white house (multiple employees that perform different communications/public relations specialist roles). One of the scenes involves the planning around getting ready for a political fundraising event. There are multiple cultural references as well such as Simon & Garfunkel, The Washington Post, Doogie Howser etc. Anna Chlumsky plays as Amy Brookheimer, one of Meyer’s right hand assistants and I noticed that Kate Burton (from the tv series Scandal) also makes an appearance in Veep. I admit that Veep Season One, while fictional and based on the idea of Selina Meyer (Julia Louis Dreyfus)starting as Vice President, does underscore from my perspective that I feel that our country is ready for a female president (Hillary Clinton). I’m normally for whoever is the best person for the job (regardless of whether they are Republican or Democrat) but I currently prefer to avoid saying why I prefer to vote for Clinton over who currently looks to most likely win the Republican ticket; Donald Trump (especially since I would otherwise feel like a a hypocrite because I reviewed a book by his daughter Ivanka Trump back in January 2015 before I even knew for sure that Trump was certainly running for president and a Travel & Leisure magazine subscription magazine back in February 23,2011 for the February 2011 Travel & Leisure magazine issue that also featured an article about Ivanka Trump on page 40).
