5.0 star rating

This Wheaton Giant store had quality deals on some of the essential food items that I selected.  I was able to get some meal items at a cheap sale price. The cashier did a good job with checking out my order with a positive disposition and enthusiastically meeting my request on how I wanted my groceries bagged.

Panera Bread

3.0 star rating

The pros to this Wheaton Panera Bread location: Both the cashiers and those who serve the food are both approachable and were courteous. My order was also served quickly. I liked their French onion soup. The cons: I actually thought about getting the chilled shrimp and soba noodle salad, but instead went with the shrimp salad roll sandwich.  The shrimp and advocadao tasted ok, but lemon tarragon mayo taste was nearly non-existent. I felt like I was just eating a shrimp, lettuce, and advocado sandwich with a miniscule amount of condiment.  Due to the decent customer service, I may come back in the future but obviously order another sandwich.

5.0 star rating

I bought an essential clothing item from this Wheaton JC Penney store in order to be ready for a job interview.  The cashier scanned my order quickly and was cheerful even with an event that impacted them. One of the sales people came up to ensure that I was finding what I was looking for.

I decided to get some orange blossom tea and filters from this Teavana collection. The associate had an upbeat disposition and helped with my tea preferences. Tea samples were also offered for certain flavor brands.

Now & Later
1.0 out of 5 stars I Really Wanted To Rate Now & Later Higher AndSeptember 7, 2013
This review is from: Now & Later (DVD)
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.
The Josephine Baker Story

The Josephine Baker Story

5.0 out of 5 stars Josephine Baker's TriumphsSeptember 7, 2013

This review is from: The Josephine Baker Story (DVD)
"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.
Futurama: Volume Two
DVD ~ Billy West

Futurama: Volume Two

5.0 out of 5 stars Good For The Futurama Watcher In Your LifeSeptember 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.

Take Control (Radio Edit)

Take Control (Radio Edit)

5.0 out of 5 stars Dance Song of MirthSeptember 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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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 assistancewas 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.

George Washington University 2012: Off the Record

5.0 out of 5 stars 411 Sampling Of George Washington UniversitySeptember 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:
1) Page 35-Hillary Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Faith Hill and Maroon 5 are listed to be among some of the celebrities who have appeared on the George Washington campus.
2) Pages 38-55: College students at GW are distributed "flex money" that allows them to use their funds at both on and off-campus eateries, barbershops, clothing shops, and certain grocery stores.
3) Pages 72-78- Students of various religions, ethnicities, and orientations are enrolled in George Washington University.

The "College Prowler George Washington University 2012" book is great for those who are seeking a variety of viewpoints pertaining to being GWU students.
Fierce Angel Presents The Collection

Fierce Angel Presents The Collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Fervent Melody MixSeptember 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.).
