5.0 out of 5 stars Themes For An Elite MovieJune 20, 2015
Top Gun (Special Expanded Edition) has the classic 80’s songs of Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins and Take My Breath Away by Berlin on this music collection. This collection has a superb collection of diverse songs on the Top Gun soundtrack that also feature other artist such as Otis Redding, Jerry Lewis, The Righteous Brothers, Teena Marie etc. Overall, this Top Gun soundtrack is great for those who like 80’s music and/or enjoy watching the Top Gun movie.

Price: $12.79
215 used & new from $0.01

5.0 out of 5 stars Fashionable Music CollectionJune 20, 2015
Robert Altman’s Pret-A-Porter Ready To Wear music collection has a strong musical assortment of eclectic music. I am previously familiar with Lemon by U2 and Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze from radio airplay (as well as television feature) from my teenage years. However, there are also other additional catchy songs on this soundtrack that are from artists such as Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Cranberries, CeCe Peniston, The M People, Trence D’Arby etc. There is even a good remake of the classic hit These Boots Are Made for Walking by Sam Phillips (as I’m guessing a musical tribute nod to Nancy Sinatra). However, this movie soundtrack of Robert Altman’s Pret-A-Porter Ready To Wear music collection is great for those who enjoy fashion themed movies and/or eclectic music by various artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Velvety and Candy Peppermint Like TasteJune 20, 2015
I admit that I only found out about this product after seeing it at my job. Also, I know that this Snack Pack Swiss Mint Cocoa Pudding Cups (Pack of 4)(4qty of 3.25 ounces each or 13 ounces) is actually meant to technically be a winter item. However, the peppermint like taste of this edition of this mint cocoa pudding makes it perfect as an everyday snack item.

I was actually looking up some inspiring articles on late bloomers less than a few hours before unintentionally coming across this Business Insider article. However, it was therapeutic for me to come across this link on 24 people who became highly successful after age 30 (via Business Insider).

A late bloomer article (via Psychology Today I’m charmed to have come across before seeing a Business Insider link on late bloomers.


Confessions of a Late Bloomer

Undocumented UC San Diego student waves Mexican flag at graduation, unfurls controversy
By Matthew T. Hall1:30 P.M.JUNE 18, 2015

I now take a position on the matter because there have been multiple times that I have been confused for a foreigner when I’m actually a U.S. born citizen as was my late biological mother and my maternal grandmother (both are registered on the Menominee Indian tribal rolls in Wisconsin). Although I do not speak much Spanish,I can also claim part Puerto Rican heritage as well as Menominee Indian heritage from my biological mother’s side, however how much  Puerto Rican and other racial percentages I’m currently not sure because there is not concrete proof as to who my biological father was (I found out that my possible biological father might have had 2 heritages because his mother was a black woman from Alabama while his father was Puerto Rican but there is not definitive proof of my biological father (due to the controversial truth that my late biological mother was a prostitute when she was alive). However, as an American female, I do not see anything anti-American and/or malicious with what this woman (Indira Esparza) did, just someone showing pride in her Mexican heritage. Additionally, even though I may owe on student loans, I do not see anything evil with the fact that Indira Esparza is an undocumented immigrant who knew how to wisely take advantage of getting her college education paid for without student loans and can now get her Master’s degree with little worry as to paying for college while being free from worrying about student loans.

BOOM! ‘The Donald’ Has Arrived With a BIG Plan for Illegal Immigrants

This article was obviously some time before Donald Trump confirmed that he is in fact running for President in 2016 for sure. Even if Trump wins the presidency in 2016, I do believe there is little chance that he is going to be able to reduce illegal immigration (even as a Republican President due to powerful interests that thrive on illegal immigration). It is common knowledge that there are stories of immigrants going through harsh extremes and even death just to come live here in the U.S. (not just Latin America, but from other countries as well).  I do not know how prevalent illegal immigration is in places such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand due to the obvious media coverage being more prevalent about the U.S. here in the U.S.  All I do know is that the close proximity to the border between the U.S. and Mexico is why I can easily see why many poor people would want to risk everything just to come here. I also do not favor getting rid of the birthright citizenship amendment because it would keep out wealthy families that would help strengthen the American company. Additionally, I see that American society still places strong emphasis on women becoming mothers and I do not feel that immigrant women and/or their children deserve to be deported back to their home countries for becoming mothers (regardless of how many children they have). Rather, I feel that a more humane solution would be to allow an immigrant woman from another country to have U.S. welfare and/or foodstamp benefits for the first five children that she has (until they are 18), but that she would still get paid for just five children even if she has a sixth child or more babies. This would help ensure that there are abundant government funds to go around for American women who already have six children or more. I do feel that a humane policy needs to be put in place that would help illegal immigrants have incentive to come out of the shadows and go for citizenship (such as less wait for citizenship for men and women who are willing to contribute at least  $50,000 or more towards buying a house and/or paying taxes of a certain amount after at least 7 to 10 years of living in the U.S. regardless of their education level and even if they are working a minimum wage job).  A government benefit to provide increased tax breaks to companies that hire a certain number of American citizens and immigrants would help decrease the risk of American citizens getting displaced for minimum wage jobs when it comes to the illegal immigration issue.  Please understand that I love America, I’m proud to be born an American female and am not anti-American. My beliefs happen to come from adoptive parents who taught me to be open-minded towards people of different races (My adoptive father is an American citizen of Aztec Indian and Mexican heritage while my late adoptive mother was a Caucasian woman with traces of French and Cherokee Indian heritage). I just felt the need to speak up because I feel that some resentment towards illegal immigrants stems from classism more than racism (a secret hostility towards men and women who come from the lower financial socio-economic classes both American born U.S. citizens and poor people from countries outside of the U.S.). Additionally, yes the U.S.A. may not have had an immigration policy in place (back during the 1600’s and 1700’s)when many European settlers decided to call many areas of the U.S. home that were previously inhabited by various groups of Native Americans (the Sioux, Iroquois, etc.). However, although my viewpoint may cost me some second job opportunities, this part Menominee Indian female does not see any reason why immigration (illegal or legal) must be halted when the beginning history of the U.S. (both in the 1600’s and 1700’s time period) was shaped by men and women immigrating from different parts of Europe to what is now the United States.

I actually saw this story featured on the grio news website featured yesterday. I will share the grio news website link in a few seconds. However, as others have noted, there was little reason for a mother to encourage her child to hurt another innocent little girl over dressing as one of the princesses(Queen Elsa) from the Frozen movie. Hopefully the mother (Rachel Muir) and her daughter Samara Muir will get an abundance of emotional support both internationally and in their home base of Australia where this happened. I will also list the Daily Mail link that she knows connects it with.
