DVD rental centers like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video were taken by storm when Netflix tapped into their profits by offering movie lovers various monthly plans for their favorite movie rentals. The only drawback is that for instances where mailing movies is required, the wait time takes away the instant gratification of viewing without delay. However it seemed to balance out because of the convenience of internet viewing. Next came the automated movie peddling machine, Red Box.

A cool down mixture of all things politics that included a couple of new faces dishing, asking, and answering tough questions one by one. The most vocal person was Beth Reinhard who made it a point to mention diversity, and the best listener was Micheal Fletcher who appeared a little uneasy at the round table, but he was able to loosen up during the Webcast Extra as he unleashed his views on the poverty issue.

Careful examination of behavior of a flirt is what you want to look at and measure against your own beliefs and standards because each persons boundaries will be a little different. A line should always exist when it comes to determining appropriate behavior as it relates to action(s) and comments. Flirting is much different than a simple compliment. Other clues are usually happening when words are being spoken or in the absence of language other things may give cues that something more is go...

We gave you alternative break up routines and we used your favorite binge food to do it. Now we want to admonish with examples of what unhealthy behavior can birth. Life after a break up is much different than what you knew of when you were a significant other. Sometimes the bond between two people is still not completely broken, even when they have separated.

Who can ever forget the ever so popular gold teeth trend of the late eighties when a smile gleamed gold instead of pearly whites. It was a way to show off a hip and cool fad that made dentist very wealthy and young urban African American appear a litter richer on the outside. As time passed the platinum grill took over and diamonds became the new way to show status and wealth. Sure, a new way to floss and stunt was born during the 20th century, but what real purpose do these trends serve. Bes...

The eyes are the window to the soul" has now become a part of the lyrics to a song called eyes from the artist KasKade. Contemplating on that powerful statement is really a search for deeper meaning in the absence of language. A mother looking into the eyes of her child at age 21, the moment your clear vision returns after an eye examination, or that fierce look sported by the next Top Model. Tyra Banks coined the phrase Smieyes and expanded the concept to tap into our imaginations in her new...

Now that I've met the majority of the Washington Weeks regulars, the next move is to acquaint you with the latest politic talk in an interesting manner. To get you on the edge of your seats, I will start with the deadly 9/11 attack that happened a decade ago. The tragedy was hurtful to say the least, and not only because of all the fatalities. It was down right crushing because something like that happened right in the heart of America. There was so much more juice on the full show, and you c...

NBC has Cedric the Entertainer holding all the cards, but for Cedrics early fans who enjoyed his comedic style and big personality on the Steve Harvey Show, his new approach in this serious presentation of the funny may be lacking the familiar attraction that opened the door for him to claim his fame.  Hosting is not new to the comedian great either because he actually hosted a BET show dedicated to comedians on the come up called Comic View.  Recently, he was labeled as being a part of an on...

Once you enter the workforce and become a bread winner your responsibility shifts from personal to professional when it comes to how you behave and deal with people. There are also new rules you have to follow in order to perform within the guidelines of the law, and company policy. A business or company is not excluded from their requirement to function within the guidelines of the laws of the land either so don't ever be intimidated because of the size of a company. Let's focus on rules, co...
