The Sorcerer’s Apprentice...
Review Summary
3 1/2to stars
This particular movie was slightly different than the "National Treasure" movies that Nicolas Cage is known for. In "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," Cage wanders idly around as Balthazar (Merlin’s protégé and a good sorcerer) trying to protect modern-day New York City and neighborhoods from the havoc of bad sorcerers played by Alfred Molina and Alice Krige.

The movie is fun, imaginative and filled with adventure. It does have a few flaws but that’s what a fantasy movie is about, part magic, part science and part hocus-pocus.

Interview with Ronald Block, Superintendent OCPD The nation’s 10th Largest School District and
Tarre Beach, Editor of Central Florida’s Lifestyle Magazine
By Anthony Gaenzle
ORLANDO, Fla. – This week’s Yo Soy Latino radio program brought back Robert Blocker, superintendent of Orange County Public Schools. He was joined by the editor of Lifestyle Magazine Tarre Beach.

Blocker entertained question from hosts Jose Miranda and Haydee Ayala regarding the school district’s budget, job security of faculty and administrators, job openings, and more.

“About 300 people, that we didn’t expect, were employed last year,” he said alluding to the hiring status of the district. Blocker explained that sometimes those already in the system may not be right for the particular opening, causing the district to seek potential faculty members elsewhere who might be a better fit.

Blocker cited higher classroom enrollment as a reason to believe that “quite a bit” more teachers may find work this year.

Following Blocker, Tarre Beach, Editor of “Lifestyle Magazine”, spoke with the Yo Soy Latino crew. Lifestyle’s four different geographically based editions focus on the “little stories in the communities.”

“Lifestyle Magazine is a micro-local magazine,” said Beach, “What we do is tell the stories that the other magazines aren’t telling.”

The magazine focuses on the good news; neighbors helping neighbors, non-profits, and more within the various communities of Orange County. Lifestyle magazine is not sold on the newsstand, but can be found at any local Chamber of Commerce, or you can visit CentralFloridaLifestyle.com to subscribe.

To hear both interviews visit the Yo Soy Latino website at www.yosoylatino.us.

It’s that one unique outfit that you’ll be able to pull out and feel absolutely fabulous about. Then, this is one site that offers a large variety of summer wear from dresses to beachwear; and, on sale! I had the opportunity of filtering through and discovered some really cool easy flowing casual very hot and alluring outfits. Much to my surprise they had a unique diverse collection and each one surely will make a statement while making heads turn and take notice.

Ordinarily I would give you more of a take on Fashion but the clothes themselves speak volumes. Just feel free to peruse their website for yourself as you will see what I mean. Also, don’t forget to checkout their fall wear while you're there. Definitely eye pleasing and worth visiting!
