My Answer: 

I don't have too much time to visit very many blogs anymore, but there are few that I do read a few times a week. Typically, it is the types of books that the blogger reviews that brings me back. Plus, giveaways can intrigue me to return to a blog.

Available to own on Blu-ray+DVD+Digital HD UltraViolet Combo Pack+Batzarro LEGO minifigure, is the action-packed LEGO: DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League!

Batman has joined the newly formed Justice League in order to keep tabs on Superman, a mistrust that is complicated by Superman’s clumsy – but well-meaning – clone, Bizarro. Bizarro’s creation of the Bizarro League has caused confusion amongst the world’s greatest Super Heroes, but an even greater and mysterious threat may force the Justice League and Bizarro League to band together to defeat evil.

While we are all waiting for the economy to get better, we're all trying to figure out how to make some extra cash. One of the quickest ways to bring in an extra income is to become a landlord. While you don't necessarily have to own an apartment complex like the Ropers did in the television series "Three's Company," you can easily remodel your basement or guest house into an apartment. However, some realtor property can be purchased at a low price in some areas, so you could just buy some houses and rent them out.


Once you do have some sort of apartment to rent, then you need to find the perfect tenant. You can just place an ad and accept the first person who responds to it as, sadly, some people do lie on their applications. While there are plenty of websites that let you do a simple background & credit check on a person, none of these sites will inform you of a tenant's current employment & income information. Therefore, you won't know if your tenant is telling the truth where they work or how much income they make. You'll never want to rent to somebody who can't pay their rent. 

The good thing is that there is a website called Tenantify that has the specific purpose to help landlords confirm their tenants' employment information. And I have even more good news - the site is free for landlords! Yep, you heard me right - it is free for landlords, though the tenants will pay $10-$15 after the verification process has been completed.

It wouldn't feel like Friday the 13th without a horror flick, which coincidentally the horror-thriller Cut! will arrive in theaters for a one-week engagement (Feb. 13th-19th) at the Arena Cinema Hollywood this Friday. It will be available on DVD and VOD on Tuesday February 24. The film stars David Branes, David Rountree (whom also co-wrote and directed the film), Sam Scarbier, Suzie Lanier-Bramlett (Hills Have Eyes 1 and 2), William McNamara, Dahlia Salem, Gabrielle Stone, Chris Moir and Allen Maldonado. Produced by Psycho Rock Productions and Dog House Post, Cut! won BEST FILM, BEST DIRECTOR, BEST LEADING ACTOR, and the AWARD of MERIT for AUDIO at the 2014 Independent Film and Television Festival. It was called one of the one of the TOP 5 HORROR MOVIES of 2014 by Movie Rankings.


Cut! follows a wannabe director, Travis Simon (played by David Rountree), and his ex-con buddy Lane Hayes (played by David Banks) trying to make their own low-budget horror flick. They want to make the death scenes realistic, so they come up with a plan to have the homeless man (Sam Scarber) they hired as the film's killer to scare a prostitute (played by Dahlia Salem). Unfortunately for duo, the prostitute is murdered and they have to quickly dispose of her body.


While Travis has second thoughts about their film, Lane wants to continue filming, but he wants the death scenes to be more realistic, even if it means killing off co-workers, movie stars and anyone else that gets in his way.

Spring is just around the corner, meaning the birds will be chipping, flowers will be blooming and many of you will be planning your upcoming nuptials. Planning such a big event can be stressful with all the preparations that need to be made. If you don't live close to a big city, then your options for flowers are mostly likely limited. Luckily for those couples who do need flowers, there is a great site called Bloominous where you can order 100% Fresh Quality flowers and have them shipped directly to your doorsteps.

Bloominous was founded by Richard and his company makes affordable, beautiful wedding flowers for brides and grooms. He came up with the idea for Bloominous just a few months before his own wedding in November 2011, where he and his wife were trying to stay on a reasonable budget. At the time, Richard was working as a general manager at one of the largest companies in the floral industry, so he was well aware of how much flowers costs. He was expecting a budget for the flowers to be between $500-$1,000, but to his surprise, all of the florists that he and his wife visited gave a $2,000-$4,000 estimate for the flower arrangements.


His wife heard about the growing DIY trend, therefore they considered that the best way to save money was to make the flower arrangements themselves, but they thought that without the help of a florist, it was too daunting for them to take on by themselves. In the end, they ended up going with a florist, but wondered why there isn't an IKEA for wedding flowers out there.

Eventually, Richard pitched the idea of a IKEA florist to the DIY wedding online community and received positive feedback. Half a year after his wedding, he quit his job and started up his own business - Bloominous.

It's no secret to my blog readers that I'm sort of a coffee nut. I can't function properly without at least two cups of coffee every morning. That being said, I'm always up for trying a new coffee brand.

I received a 2 lb bag of Subtle Earth Organic Coffee Medium-Dark Roast Whole Beans a few of days ago. This is the biggest bag of coffee beans that I have ever seen.

The Subtle Earth Organic Coffee is part of the Burke Brands LLC, which was founded by Darron J. Burke. The company grows, picks and process their coffee beans in Columbia. Through the Sharing Certified Program, they also have over 1,000,000 coffee trees in South America. They never use Robusta, past crop, or defective beans, but instead they use organic coffee beans. The company is also has been AIB Food Safety Certified and Certified by CCOF for Organic Production.

The Subtle Earth Organic Coffee is an Honduran coffee from the Marcala region. Cherries are composted and used as fertilizer. No harmful chemicals or insecticides are ever used. If there is a bug problem, the farmers will plant peppers as a repellent. All the coffee beans are roasted at the company's Miami facility.

Review:


Power Rangers Super Megaforce follows five teenage Power Rangers - Troy (played by Andrew Gray), Noah (played by John Mark Loudermilk), Emma (played by Christina Masterson), Gia (played by Ciara Hanna) and Jake (played by Azim Rizk) who are mentored by the supernatural guardian Gosei (voiced by Geoffrey Dolan). An alien armada led by Prince Vekar invades Earth and the Rangers are the planet's only line of defense, but they'll have to upgrade their powers in order to stop Prince Vekar. The new powers give them the ability to transform into any past Ranger.

The episodes on this single-disc are:

Samurai Surprise - A new powerful monster, Matacore, is unleashed upon the city and the Rangers must rely on Jayden (the Red Samurai Ranger) and his Mentor Ji to help them defeat it.

Spirit of the Tiger - In order to defeat the monster Pacha Chamak, Emma and Jake must learn how to fight without their weapons. They seek training from the zookeeper Casey Rhodes (the Jungle Fury Red Ranger).

Silver Lining, Part 1 - The Rangers have their hands full when the Armada begins dropping off dozens of X Borg platoons, not to mention the new monster Gorgax. Out of nowhere, a mysterious Silver Ranger appears and helps them out.
