 Eventual Millionaire Amateur Review,
This review is from: The Eventual Millionaire: How Anyone Can Be an Entrepreneur and Successfully Grow Their Startup (Hardcover)
I admit that The Eventual Millionaire: How Anyone Can Be An Entrepreneur and Successfully Grow Their Startup by Jaime Tardy caught my attention due to the fact that I know what I want to do and want to eventually be a business owner. I have been gathering books on entrepreneurship and putting some in my secret wish lists for at least over a month now. I am also fortunate in being exposed to inspirational stories through my 2011-2013 subscription to Inc. magazine. However,I must keep it secret what I want to do for now because I intend to work on my spiritual and psychological evolution for at least three years before taking the plunge (plus out of appreciation for my current job that I would like to work at for at least three more months at a minimum). I feel this way even with being aware that some companies have access to many peoples purchase history of their online orders (which I admit that some of my book purchases contain clues to what I intend to pursue). I first became aware of this through a Yahoo news article that featured information on how what you order online can still be accessed by certain major companies and/or businesses. Aside from my personal feelings on this, the following are some of the informative tidbits included in Eventual Millionaire:
Foreword by Dan Miller: New York Times Best selling author of 48 Days To the Work You Love People that Have Already Taken the Plunge Towards Entrepreneurship Such As: Brad Deal-founder of Sticks and Stones company-one of his products were given to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in the past. Craig Wolfe-owner of CelebriDucks-he has been featured on New York Times and makes rubber duckies that look like various famous people. Doug Guller- He is listed to have failed at his first startup after college. However, he eventually prevailed/triumphed and in less than seven years has more than 12 restaurants and 800 employees. Hanny Lerner, owner of Mod Registration started her business of doing a Groupon and gained 95 clients in a short time. Joy Gendusa, owner of Postcard Mania, started her own business as a way to spend more time with her kids. Postcard Mania is listed to generate at least 19 million dollars in revenue.

This review is from: Cocktail (Amazon Instant Video)
I originally purchased the rental of “Cocktail” (starring Tom Cruise) on April 11, 2014 to complement my purchases of two other movies starring Tom Cruise (Top Gun and Jerry Maguire). Tom Cruise stars as a former military veteran named Brian Flanagan who is determined to transition into a successful and prosperous man on a professional scale. Things do not initially go as planned in his job search and educational efforts. He bounces back through trying his hand at employment in a bar after initially making an impression on Dough Coughlin (played by Bryan Brown). Flanagan and Coughlin team up together in the bar and impress some of the most influential people in New York. What sets the tone for the movie is that Flanagan is serious about eventually opening his own business and encourages Coughlin to partner up with him. Obviously, I must avoid saying more to keep in mind those who have not seen the film. However,what also shapes Flanagan’s journey is when he unexpectedly falls in love with a woman who feels the same way about him.

This review is from: The Aviator (2004) (DVD)
I am lucky to have originally watched my first showing of "Aviator" back in 2005 through a movie theater in San Diego California (I use to live in California when I was still in the military). Aviator is a captivating movie that highlights Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as Howard Hughes. The film captures Howard Hughes rise in wealth and fame during his lifetime through his work in aviation and the Hollywood film industry. There are multiple popular celebrities that featured in this film such as: Cate Blanchett, John Reilly,Kate Beckinsale, Alan Alda, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Gwen Stefani, Ian Holm, Danny Huston, and Brent Spiner. I admit that I purchased this dvd due to being a fan of DiCaprio's acting and noticed the great bonuses which include:

This review is from: Catch Me If You Can (Amazon Instant Video)
I purchased this rental of “Catch Me If You Can” (inspired by a true life story) on April 11, 2014 to complement my purchases of two other Leonardo DiCaprio movies (J. Edgar and Aviator). “Catch Me If You Can” is a movie that captures the film interactions of Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks. DiCaprio plays the character of Frank Abagnale, who is listed along to have successfully posed (for a brief time) as a pilot, doctor, and lawyer. Hanks plays the FBI official tasked with going after him. Christopher Walken, Amy Adams, and Martin Sheen are also featured in “Catch Me If You Can.” The following facts are listed at the end of “Catch Me If You Can.”:
Frank Abagnale has been married for 26 years, he has three sons and lives a quiet life in the Midwest. Since his release from prison in 1974, Frank has helped the FBI capture some of the world’s most elusive check forgers, counterfeiters, and is considered one of the world’s top experts on bank fraud and forgery. Frank has designed many of the secure checks that banks and Fortune 500 companies use every day. For his services, these companies pay Frank Abagnale millions of dollars per year. Frank and Carl (the FBI official who was tasked with pursuing him) remain close friends to this day. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Strong And Intense Live Coldplay Performance,
This review is from: Coldplay: Live 2012(CD/DVD) [Explicit] (Audio CD)
I decided to purchase Coldplay Live 2012 (cd/dvd edition) after it was brought to my attention through the Walmart dotcom recommendations (I’m guessing from some online purchases I made). I also wanted to check out this cd because of my good luck in being able to catch a Coldplay concert during the summer of 2012 when they came to D.C. Just like the concert, I enjoyed the performance of Paradise the most from this cd/dvd. Reluctantly, I confess it is also because the song exactly describes how I have felt before. I also enjoyed the performance of “Clocks” on this cd/dvd edition. There are also some good bonuses on the dvd such as the performance of Don’t Let It Break Your Heart and The Scientist. There is also a photo gallery on the bonus dvd that is sourced from coldplaydotcom and tumblr.

I am lucky to have initially purchased the cd of MTV The First 1000 Years Rock back in the autumn of 2000 at a military retail store in Japan. I was able to eventually purchase a replacement for just four dollars (counting the shipping).I am familiar with many of these songs on this cd (from my teenage years)because I frequently heard many of them on various radio stations in Illinois and featured on both MTV and VH1. This was the cd that introduced me to Fire Woman by The Cult (one of my personal top ten favorite songs across various genres). This cd also has songs by these artists/musicians: Beck, Garbage, Foo Fighters, Everclear, Candlebox, Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, the Breeders, Jesus Jones, Faith No More, Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cult, R.E.M,INXS, and The Pretenders.

I admit that I purchased The Best Of Loreena McKennitt around April 2014. This collection caught my attention due to previously enjoying and hearing her Mummer’s Dance song through being played on the radio (when I was still in high school). Additionally, I also have recently heard her music through Pandora Radio and put one of her cds in one of my public wishlists around June 2013. This edition of Loreena McKennitt’s music collection are two discs of 12 music tracks on the first cd and nine tracks from disc two. The second disc is listed to be some of the moments from her Midsummer Night Tour and recorded in Mainz Germany July 2012. This edition the Best of Loreena McKennitt opens with soothing melodies of Mystic’s Dream and is great for those who are open to listening to blends of celtic and classic music.

I admit that the song Sing by Ed Sheeran first came to my attention on April 24, 2014 through youtube. I was actually trying to watch an Austin Malone video when I saw the audio version of Sing advertised as a recommendation for me to listen to. Needless to say, Sing by Ed Sheeran meshes guitar sounds and upbeat pop melodies together in a complementary way while appearing to send the message of a man trying to tell someone that they must let him know if they have feelings for them. Sing by Ed Sheeran is a fun song to hear if you enjoy pop beats with a hint of a guitar.

Ping Pong by Armin Van Buuren seamlessly blends trance, electronic, and house together to create sounds that convey the message of a group of friends having fun at a club. The only catch is that Ping Pong is vocal free and is more about the electronic and trance beats. Ping Pong is good for those who are previously familiar with any songs by Armin Van Buuren and/or those who like music melds of house and trance.

“Fancy” (feat. Charli XCX) by Iggy Azalea is one of those high energy songs that make me want to listen to it more each time I hear it on the radio. I also like how the beat of the song introduces “Fancy” at the beginning and has the singer expressing the meaning of seeing the good in herself. “Fancy” (feat.

I am fortunate to have had the chance to watch Frozen when it was released in theaters back in November 2013. Naturally, I wanted to obtain Let It Go by Idina Menzel after hearing it enough times on the radio. Let it Go by Idina Menzel resonates with me because the song symbolizes the message of maintaining resilience and emotional strength regardless of what happens externally. Additionally, the music containing tranquil piano beats that combine well with the vocals of the singer bring to life the message of Let It Go even more. This is a great song selection for those who like healing songs that are a combination of classical music and pop.

| Ambition And Intrigue,
This review is from: Devious Maids Season 2 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
At the time of this writing, I have only watched the first three episodes of the second season of Devious Maids (however, I plan to watch the most recent episode and others as my schedule permits). Watching the last three episodes of Devious Maids Season Two was an easy decision for me due to the fact that I have also previously enjoyed watching season one when it was released to the public in the summertime of 2013. It is best to watch season one of Devious Maids prior to watching the second season in order to better understand the motives of both the maids and their employers for season two. The second season is set up in a way with a fresh new story that those new to Devious Maids can watch the second season even if they did not watch the first. This is because the first season dealt with solving the murder of one of the maids while the second season deals with different issues involving relationships and the strengthened friendship bonds among the maids. Please know that I do feel that many of the actors and actresses in the second season contributed to why the last three episodes of Devious Maids Season Two are fun to watch (especially the third episode: my fave episode so far). However, I would have to admit that my favorite characters from this show (for both season 1 and season 2) would have to be Judy Reyes as Zoila Diaz and Susan Lucci as Genevieve Delatour. Judy Reyes carefully portrays an overprotective mother in season two who is doing her best to try to be less rigid and is not afraid to express her true feelings to those around her. Sadly, the man she loves wants to take a “breather” from their relationship and the drama between her and the daughter. Obviously, I am rooting for her to have a positive breakthrough in the midst of all this(spiritual, psychological/personal and/or professional). Meanwhile, my husband (with cautious neutrality) understands why I would prefer the breakthrough. However, he guesses that the Devious Maids writers may be setting the Zoila Diaz character up for some time of drama or nervous breakdown. We owe each other certain meals depending on who turns out to be correct in how the character of Zoila Diaz. I like Lucci’s Delatour character because she plays a happy spirit who keeps her head up and stays positive about her present life and future regardless of any serious drama that pops up. The added dimension of having the Delatour character showing genuine concern and sisterly/family type support to her long-time maid Zoila Diaz also adds the heartfelt qualities to her character. The only gentle suggestion that I would make is for the possibility of the Genevieve Delatour and/or the Zoila Diaz character undergoing some type of professional training for a side professional career and/or entrepreneurship. Devious Maids Season Two is great for those who have watched and enjoyed the previous season and/or those who like light-hearted shows with a touch of mischief.

| Consequences And The Seriousness of Student Loan Usage,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Default: the Student Loan Documentary (Amazon Instant Video)
I must preface this review by admitting that I was curious to watch this documentary because Default: The Student Loan Documentary hit home for me due to both my husband and I carrying student loans. However, we both are not complaining about having to pay back the student loans, intend to avoid using future loans, and are determined to pay them within a ten to twenty year timeframe (at the latest). I also came across an article about a woman (in her 50’s) who bravely confessed how much she owed in student loans. Yes, I know that there are also millions of men and women who have wisely already avoided/avoid student loans and/or were able to successfully repay their student loans back in a short time frame. However, watching this documentary made me aware that countless other people across the country are also dealing with the student loan issue. The following are some of the facts covered in this documentary:
The average pell grant at many universities covers the cost of books. Around 2009 (when this documentary aired),Corinthian Colleges (a for profit company) told investors that they were going to make 130 million dollars of their own private loans, and that in a fiscal year they expected the student loan defaults to climb to at least 58%. The obvious fact that the student loan industry wields large power in our political system was also brought up. Allan Collinge (founder of Student Loan Justice), Tamara Draught (Demos Vice President of Policy and Programs), Jeff Blum (executive director of USAction), Anya Kamenetz (author of Generation Debt, writer and journalist), Carmen Berkley President Of The United States Student Associate (2007-2009) and Gregory Cendana (current president of the Student Associate), Robert Applebaum (started an essay on facebook called Forgive Student Loan Debt) The websites of studentloanjusticedotorg and defaulmoviedotcom were mentioned Last, but not least, (some of the dramatic student loan balances mentioned in the film): One woman took out thirty thousand dollars in student loans, but her balance in student loans is now ninety thousand. A male in the documentary recounted how his student loan balance was $46,000 dollars in 2004. At the time of the documentary (2009), his student loan balance grew to $122,000. Another woman bravely recounted (in the documentary) that she at least succeeded in paying $26,000 of the $35,000 initial student loan balance. However she implied that interest charges probably contributed to why she still owes $57,000 dollars. Carmen Berkley courageously admitted to owing $80,000 dollars in student loan debt. She mentioned that one of the reasons for sharing her story and doing what she does was to eventually help to decrease the number of future college students going through what she was subjected to. Another male admitted to owing at least $200,000 dollars in student loans and admitted (with heart-wrenching sadness) that he had to tell a woman that he truly loved that he could not take their relationship to the “next level” due to his student loan debt. Obviously, it is implied that he probably would have married and possibly had children with this woman (whom he expressed true love for) if it was not for his $200,000 in student loans. | ||||||||||||||

Additionally, I admit that I was also curious to watch it after finding out that Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) is one of the actresses who contributed her voice to this film (for the character of Zarina). Tom Hiddleston (James Hook character) and Angelica Houston (Queen Clarion character) are also among the multiple actors/actresses that give their voices to this animated movie. This movie involves the character of Zarina eventually uses her pixie dust gifts to help out a group of pirate men after being forbidden from working with pixie dust. Zarina succeeds into putting many of the Pixie Hollow residents to sleep at the Four Seasons festival. She then carefully chooses this event to harness the magical blue pixie dust. Tinkerbell and a few of her friends manage to be among the few who are shielded from this energy and follow Zarina to see the plan she is brewing.

This review is from: Primary Colors (Amazon Instant Video)
I preface this review by admitting that my decision to watch this movie was colored by the fact that I would vote for Hillary Clinton if she was to run for president in 2016 (regardless of who was running against her). However, Condoleeza Rice is probably the only other person who I would carefully consider if she were to run. This is because I feel that both Rice and Clinton achieved their professional successes by both their merits and talents. Primary Colors is an eventful film that is listed to have apparently been inspired by the real life 1992 political campaign of Bill and Hillary Clinton (when Bill Clinton was running for his first term as president). John Travolta plays a southern governor running for president while Emma Thompson plays his wife who provides both tough love and vital emotional support in his campaign. Kathy Bates plays the insightful role of Libby Holden. The character of Libby Holden is listed online to have been inspired by Betsey Ross Wright (lobbyist, political consultant, activist).

This review is from: 47 Ronin (Amazon Instant Video)
47 Ronin stars Keanu Reeves as Kai. Kai is found abandoned and taken in by a man from one of the prominent families of a nearby village. Trying to get accepted by the other locals proves to be a challenge for Kai because of his outsider status. However, he is eventually unintentionally thrust into a role requiring his fighting abilities after his adopted father dies. There is much more to this movie than what I wrote. It is listed that the character of Kai was written into 47 Ronin. However, the end of the movie implies that 47 Ronin is partly inspired by real life events that took place. I say partly because obviously many of the events portrayed in the film such as: supernatural/fantasy elements centered around a magical shape shifting witch(played by Rinko KiKuchi) (contained in the film) obviously did not take place.
 Mr. Deeds is a film that stars Adam Sandler as a person who ends up inheriting a business empire worth billions of dollars from his late uncle Preston Blake. Preston Blake was the founder of Blake Media Corporation (in business deals with several radio and television stations). Adam Sandler plays a character of the nephew who was running his own pizzeria shop before he found out that he is the sole living heir of Preston Blake. What complicates matters is that one of Preston Blake’s former assistants is CEO of Blake Enterprises and secretly wants the whole business empire for himself. 
Power Of One Spirit
Legends Of Oz: Dorothy’s Return Movie caught the attention of my husband and I because we both like watching fantasy animated movies. The movie centers around the character of Dorothy being summoned to return to Oz by her friends the Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow after a character who styles himself as Jester takes over the land of Oz. The Jester is the brother of the Wicked Witch of The West who is ends up getting stuck with wearing the outfit (no matter how many times he peels it off) due his sister putting a spell on him. He is even shown in the trailer peeling off the outfit, which only reveals different colors of the jester outfit as he tries to take them off. On a side note, my husband actually saw the misunderstood side of the Jester’s character as acting out through more of the influence of his sister’s spell rather than what he would do through his own volition. The plot of the movie becomes even more developed when the Jester manages to get the Queen of Oz to his castle. Regardless, Legends Of Oz: Dorothy Returns movie is best for those who like colorful animated films.
This Biltmore Italian
Mascarpone Torta is a delicious cheesecake that is listed to have a hint of
lemon baked with a moist Italian Cream Cake and Nestled In A Vanilla Cookie
Crist. I discovered this cake in the frozen aisle at my job. I admit that I
would eat it more often if I did not have to watch what I eat (it is that
good). However, this cake is great for
an occasional indulgence.
My husband and I decided to eat here tonight and was greeted by a cashier who was both nice and helpful. My husband had a hot pastrami sandwich with a diet coke while I had a Pride of Baltimore sandwich with an everything bagel and birch beer. My husband liked his food and I also felt that my sandwich was tasty, the pride of baltimore has nova sliced salmon, cream cheese, swiss chese, tomato, lettuce and onions ( i admit that I added a slice of muenster and pepperjack cheeses for something a little different). Needless to say, both my husband and I were full after eating our sandwiches. The sandwiches also come with decent tasting pickles.
