Torn: Adult Movie DVD Review


I have said it before, and I will say it again. Jacky ST. James is one of the finest writers in the Adult Movie business today! Proof of this is the recent movie I watched that she not only wrote, but co-directed with Eddie Powell called “TORN”.
It’s the story of a married man (Steven ST. Croix), who is in a long lasting marriage where he is no longer happy on all fronts, and has an extra marital affair with a young photographer played to the nines by Remy La Croix. LaCroix for me, was the standout star in the movie which also bolstered solid performances from Raylene, Samantha Ryan, and Steven ST. Croix.

It starts with a shift in thinking, but once you become clear on what is required, you can then apply the principles shared by the authors and take charge of your life by creating a better job, better career or better company. The New World of Work: From Cube to the Cloud (Inspire on Purpose Publishing) is a roadmap for the journey.
For those who embrace The New World of Work, comes the opportunity to succeed in a world with no boundaries, no buildings, and no fear.
The Loss Of Liberty Is Not An Option For These Texans – Breaking News


The election is well behind us but feelings are still running strong. Author and unwavering Texan, David Thomas Roberts, is patriotic to the core and believes Americans should take a stand when it seems their liberty is being threatened. With all the talk today about Texas petitioning to secede, his timely book Patriots of Treason (AKA-Publishing), follows his beliefs “that the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers are no longer being upheld by the federal government.”
Roberts’ riveting book tells the story of a United States on the brink of civil war – again. It takes a courageous federal whistleblower, an ordinary Texan, and a governor who won’t sit still for the shredding of the Constitution to stop an evil conspiracy by the federal government. The nation is in crisis; Congress can’t agree on anything, and the country is totally divided.
Patriots of Treason has all the makings of a great read; fraud, scandals in the president’s administration, climbing oil and food prices – and perpetrators who have found the perfect scapegoat to blame for everything that’s wrong with America. And they almost get away with it. But, just like patriots before them, some will not stand for it. They will become Patriots of Treason.

Crime Is On The Increase: Learn Simple Steps To Keep Homes And Families Safe Over The Holidays – Breaking Book News


Ask any cop and he will tell you that crime never takes a break – especially during the holidays! Crime has already increased around the country due to our down economy, but now experts tell us it’s on the increase in areas where crime was rare in the past. Add the approaching holidays to this scenario and things could get pretty grim for a lot of people.
Alan Young has made security and keeping people safe his life’s work and his expert tips and recommendations have made him a featured guest on top TV and radio shows because he shows how not to become a victim. Since many people leave town for the holidays it’s crucial they understand the importance of securing their home before they go, so that when they return their home and possessions are intact. This especially applies to people in more ‘upscale’ areas who have become a little complacent where crime is concerned because statistics now show these areas are being specifically targeted by criminals. Alan Young’s expert advice can make the difference between a memorable holiday and a devastating one.
“Police response time to a home alarm system is often over 20 minutes and most thieves can be in and out of a home in less than 5. Not only can they get valuables – but worse still, they could hurt a family member,” says Young. “The key is to keep them out in the first place.”
But By The Chance Of War By Richard C. Lyons – Breaking Book News


A moving book about the similarities and atrocities of war through the ages in a clever, dramatic presentation; to be released Fall 2012
US Review of Books: “The more sensible approach to this opus is to be patient, exploring each within the context of a series of book club discussions or even an entire course offered to students of poetics, classical literature, history, or philosophy. An epic work of this magnitude deserves that kind of time, attention, and scholarship”
Literary Inkling: “But By the Chance of War, a new and monumental work from Richard C. Lyons, is a book that encompasses both of these aspects, presenting the reader with a truly epic journey into the expansive ability of prose while encouraging our deep reflection on the subject within its pages.”
Midwest Review of Books: “But By the Chance of War is well worth considering for fans of quality poetry, highly recommended.”

The Sarah Kelly Music School: Where Students Get To Learn From Industry Greats – Breaking News


While it has only been open a year, enrollment at The Sarah Kelly Music School, north of Houston, Texas, is already near full capacity. Owned by two-time Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Sarah Kelly, the school strives to bring in top names to meet with students. Everyone is excited about an upcoming visit (in January) by Chris Sampson, Dean of USC’s Thornton School of Music, who will give out some partial scholarships to USC’s popular music course. To help meet the huge demand, Sarah’s school recently started offering online classes; now she can literally reach out and help anyone learn to write a song!
What makes this school unique is that apart from learning to play instruments, students actually get to learn to write their own music. Regardless of musical experience, students are usually playing songs after just a few weeks of lessons and writing their own soon after. They have a chance at being accepted into the school’s Artist Development Classes that focus on production, vocal training and song writing, giving them access to a studio where their songs are recorded by a professional producer. Instead of recitals, Sarah’s students actually get to experience real “gigs” where they get to know the feel of a stage performance. There are so many things that make this school exceptional and set it apart from all the others.

END OF WATCH, which earned the Critics’ Choice distinction from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, recently won nominations from the Film Independent Spirit Awards for Best Supporting Actor for Michael Peña and Best Cinematography for Roman Vasyanov. Roger Ebert recently named END OF WATCH one of the best films of 2012 writing, “Jake Gyllenhaal’s image-transforming work as a very tough cop in David Ayer’s ‘End of Watch’ may help the film win a Best Picture slot, and Michael Peña is no less effective as his partner in a dangerous Los Angeles police district. They forge a relationship during a series of brilliantly-staged action sequences.”
