Joining that long line of distinguished series this week is Disney+'s "American Born Chinese" (streaming Wednesdays, ★★★ out of four), an adaptation of Gene Luen Yang’s 2006 graphic novel that brings the heavenly battle of gods crashing to Earth – and into the life of a sullen teen boy.Ī G-rated dramedy in which elaborate and magical kung fu battles coincide with tryouts for junior varsity soccer teams, "Chinese" is a cuddly, Disneyfied version of those great supernatural teen dramas. And of course, all that mysticism and magic is just a metaphor for the hell of growing up. Secret identities complicate high school cliques. Studying for a math test can be delayed by fighting apocalyptic evil.

If you're the protagonist of a teen supernatural TV show such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Smallville" or "Teen Wolf," yes, that is your lot in your (fictional) life. Do magical martial arts battles have to be a part of it?

To the woman who asked for directions to Victory Lutheran Church this morning (Christmas), I apologize for sending you in the opposite direction on Kernan Blvd.

Then when one goes to Walmart, there are many, many registers open plus the self-checkout stations, so why go to Kmart? All the while, I'm waiting with one or two items in my hand, so I've put them down and walked out. First, there are never enough registers open, one has to check out at the customer service counter, having to wait while others have their returns processed, necessitating management approval, price checks, etc.
Augustine that has the worst customer friendly service of any store. I just read online that Sears Holding Corp. The one that commented that he remembers being terrified, did it to his own kid. I suppose they think it is funny to see the kids freaking out. This is something I will not understand as to why parents put their kids through this. I have to comment on the photos that people sent in of their terrified children with Santa. If the products cost a little more than the imports, we have to be willing to pay in order to support our country.
If we want to put Americans back to work, it is up to us to seek out the products, investors to open factories to produce them and retail outlets to make them available to us. My furniture was delivered last week and I am very pleased with the quality and value. I turned to the Internet and eventually found one manufacturer in Virginia and a company in South Carolina that offered the brand in their online catalogue, so I decided to take a chance and order from them. Two high-end stores had one or two pieces which were top of the line and very much out of my price range and it appeared that I had two choices: buy goods made in China or Indonesia or continue to look at my old furniture for a while longer. I have visited every store in Jacksonville and have been very disappointed in the lack of effort that is made to offer products which are made in America. I have shopped for many months to find new bedroom furniture.
