Trancemaster 7006


Trancemaster 7006


5.0 out of 5 stars Background TranceOctober 10, 2013



This review is from: Trancemaster 7006 (MP3 Music)
"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.

Silver Linings Playbook

5.0 out of 5 stars Positive LiningsOctober 10, 2013



This review is from: Silver Linings Playbook (DVD)
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.

It's Handled


5.0 out of 5 stars Season Three Definitely Starts With An Exciting SizzleOctober 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.

Witches of East End: Sneak Peek

4.0 out of 5 stars Tale Of Two Budding And Powerful Witches And Their Magical MotherOctober 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.


Still Into You

Still Into You

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Ballad Ode To Lasting LoveOctober 10, 2013
This review is from: Still Into You (MP3 Music)
"Still Into You" by Paramore is both a sweet and happy song about a person and her partner who are still strongly in love with each other years after they first met. I also like how the meaning of "Still Into You" where she is fine with letting others question why the relationship is long-lasting when in her heart, it is easy to know why their union continually thrives. "Still Into You" by Paramore is perfect for those who enjoy cheerful alternative rock/indie-rock songs. At the time of this writing, there is a brilliant video available online by Paramore of "Still Into You" for those want to hear the song first.
Timber feat. Ke$haTimber feat. Ke$ha

5.0 out of 5 stars Music Blend Of Dance, Folk, & CountryOctober 10, 2013
This review is from: Timber feat. Ke$ha (MP3 Music)
"Timber" by Pitbull ft. Kesha is a playful mashup of what sounds like folk country tunes with dance music. It sounds as if a harmonica is playing in the background, slightly reminiscent musically of "Cotton Eye Joe" but peformed in the uniqueness of Pitbull & Ke$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.



Right Riches for You

Right Riches for You

5.0 out of 5 stars Wealth Of OpportunitiesOctober 10, 2013

This review is from: Right Riches for You (Paperback)
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.

An article story on one of my top three favorite musicians.

I feel that Madonna is brave for revealing what happened.  An experience such as rape is hard enough to disclose to even a few trusted people in a man or woman's life. I can easily guess that it would be just as challenging, if not more so to reveal that experience on a public scale. The following website features an article about Madonna's recent Harper's Bazaar magazine interview where she admits that she was raped: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/madonna-raped-knifepoint-article-1.1476599
