Back then, couples weren't even allowed to be shown in the same bed! Married people slept in twin beds, separated by a nightstand!  Then of course there was the ridiculousness of Elvis Presley not being shown from the waist down because of his gyrating pelvis. HA! But now...TODAY...in 2015, it's no holds barred on the levels sexual content can sink too. Most recently Hollywood seems to have a fascination with incestual sex. Two movies (that I personally know of) have focused on father/daughter sex - of course they didn't know it at the time - a subject that rocks me to my core and one that I don't consider entertainment. Amazon.com has a complete collection of Beastie Erotica which includes sex (rape is more like it) with Dinasours, BigFoot, Yeti and more. But even more disturbing is the latest onslaught of fiction focusin on "step" sibling sexual relationships. From simulated sex and soft on soap operas and 50 Shades of Gray to movies that are really crossing the line on taboo subjects that should not be memorialized on film, sexual images have no boundaries of late. What is all this information doing to our psyche? How is it affecting our relationships?

Tony Perkins, a Washington D.C. local hero and community icon is the co-anchor of FOX 5 News at 5pm & 10pm. From 1999 to 2005, Tony was the weather forecaster and feature reporter for ABC's "Good Morning America", helping to take that show to within breathing distance of NBC's "Today" show in the heated network morning show wars. While he was with "Good Morning America", Tony contributed music, entertainment, and other features and segments to the show. He covered a wide range of events and locations in his years on the broadcast. He also frequently reported on location from weather disasters—often while they were occurring—including nearly twenty hurricanes. His work led to appearances and reports on Fox News Channel and CNN. Tony's work on "Good Morning America"--and, in particular, his sense of humor (he used to be a stand-up comic)--brought him to other projects.  Tony Perkins first worked at WTTG-TV as co-anchor of "Fox Morning News" from 1998 to 1999, conducting interviews, doing feature segments and reviewing movies. Before that, he served as the show's weather personality starting in 1993, and his warm and often humorous presentation made him one of the most popular TV personalities in the nation's capitol. Tony grew up in the Washington area, attending Mt. Vernon High School in Fairfax County, and the American University in Washington, D.C. He lives here with his wife and son.     00:30:00LettesChatnotony perkins,fox news,fox5DC,news,news casterTony Perkins, a Washington D.C. local hero and community icon is the co-anchor of FOX 5 News at 5pm & 10pm.

Manu was exposed not only to the dangers of farming activity, but also the extreme climate of high heat and humidity. It was learned at an early age to use the source of sugar cane and coconut for hydration while playing outside the access of fresh water. Among many experiences in which the environment taught her to rely upon her instincts are the times when, at age 9, while attending to the chickens after sunset, she stepped barefoot on a coral snake by accident. She continued to apply pressure until her father could help her, and at age 11 when kayaking through the mangroves, ended in tragedy, when a saltwater crocodile barged the kayak tipping it over and attacked her dog. She credits her quick reflexes and the dog’s sacrifice with the reason why she’s still alive. At age 17, Manu joined the military and served over 8 years. Her last 4 years she served in Combative Deployment Operations, in which every year they had to do two weeks of wilderness jungle survival  and up to 3 months training in the desert. The military helped her adapt her natural instincts into a more educated form of survival, tailored to the specifics of surviving during wartime. Again, her instincts came into play. Military tactics require sleeping on the ground, and one night a snake crawled into her sleeping bag, but instead of panicking she waited until first light to alarm the CO of the situation. After unzipping her sleeping bag, they found a King Brown snake had made its home between her legs! Again, Manu escaped without injury.    01:32:00LettesChatnoManu Toigo,Naked and Afraid,Survival,survival,reality tvManu’s interest in survival training began the day she was born in far North Queensland, Australia. From an early age, Manu had to adapt and improvise to what thttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/02/07/actress-kimberly-hill-returns-to-chat-to-discuss-the-latestEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/02/07/actress-kimberly-hill-returns-to-chat-to-discuss-the-latest/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/02/07/actress-kimberly-hill-returns-to-chat-to-discuss-the-latestFri, 07 Feb 2014 01:00:00 GMTActress Kimberly Hill Returns to Chat to Discuss the LatestKimberly Hill was born in Mission Hills, Ca.

My seminars model the processes of effective teaching and can help anyone integrate the principles and practices of adult education into their teaching style. I especially enjoy teaching sex educators how to create, teach, and evaluate amazing workshops that help spread sexual health and information." ~ Charlie Glickman, PhD Sex, Shame, and Love Shame influences and shapes sexuality for almost everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, and individual desires. If we want to overcome and move past sexual shame, we need to understand how it works and how it affects us. We’ll unpack the mechanisms of shame, discuss how it shapes sexuality, and what we can do to build shame resilience. When we have the tools to deal with this difficult but inevitable emotion, it becomes much easier to resolve jealousy, loss, and fear so we can create more space to give and receive love, explore our authentic selves, and build the relationships that suit us. Come learn new ways to keep shame from getting in the way and create the relationships that work for you. Sex-Positivity The legacy of sex-negativity, the myth of the normal, and institutionalized sexual shame have left deep marks upon society. Although sexual images and messages surround us, they are often indicative of obsession rather than sexual health. Moving towards a sex-positive perspective can help us find the balance between repression and rebellion in order to discover our individual sexual well-being. This topic can be approached from a number of perspectives, including sexual health, communication, sexual authenticity, gender diversity, and social oppression. 01:01:00LettesChatyessex,sexuality,gay,queer,Homosexuality"I offer classes and consultations on adult education and its application to any topic.

The troupe founded by hanan was composed of eight women at the University of Havana’s History Department.  A live band of musicians shortly followed from Havana’s colorful and diverse music scene. Guided by hanan, Grupo Aisha Al Hanan; quickly gained notoriety around Cuba despite its departure from State- Sanctioned Culture and Art models. A grassroots cultural movement ensued which had a profound impact on many lives across the globe. For Hanan’s family, her returning to Cuba was like an act of support for the Communist Revolution that drove them from their island to Miami. Havana Habibi begins three years later following Hanan’s visit to Havana for the International Dance Festival and workshops with Grupo Aisha Al-Hanan.  We meet the ensemble and see the sacrifices they make to create their art. Havana Habibi looks at the cross cultural exchange and intermigration between Africa, Cuba, Spain and the USA; what it means to be a Cuban Bellydancer in Revolutionary Cuba as well as the Cuban Diaspora and travels throughout time, geography and space to tell the human story behind Revolution and geo-political Identity through the sensual metaphor of Bellydance.   Jason Bee Alafia joins me to discuss this critically acclaimed documentary film. 01:08:00LettesChatnoCuba,Havana Habibi,Belly Dancing,Movie,DocumentaryIn 2003, Tiffany Madera aka “Hanan,” enraged her Cuban family in Miami by getting on a plane to Havana to participate in an artistic exchange that led to the fohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/01/23/diane-bloody-sister-foster-chats-about-the-orphan-killerEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/01/23/diane-bloody-sister-foster-chats-about-the-orphan-killer/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2014/01/23/diane-bloody-sister-foster-chats-about-the-orphan-killerThu, 23 Jan 2014 01:00:00 GMTDiane "Bloody Sister" Foster chats about The Orphan KillerDiane Foster is an award winning American Actress and Producer.

Titus shares if the pencil was a brush it would be dipped in the blood he left on a Charlotte street after being shot in 1995 and losing his ability to walk. Each story or whisper as he calls it is tied directly to something he has seen personally, experienced, or has been divinely inspired to write because of his life.  Titus indicates that every whisper in the book was written because God was whispering to him wisdom in the midst of the storms he had faced in his own life.  Many are the obstacles or storms that life brings, and if the storm is focused on many are doomed to repeat them. But if a person knew that in every moment in life there is a chance and an opportunity to learn; especially the difficult ones would they not seek to learn them. The Things God Whispered To Me shows not only how that wisdom is discovered through real life examples, but it motivates the reader daily as they read a Whisper. Titus Broom went from being a Drug dealer, to being in a wheelchair, to prison, to a college graduate, to an inspirational & motivational speaker to now being the Author of his first book The Things God Whispered To Me.  Titus is also an intervention specialist that works daily with improving the lives of youth that are incarcerated as well as youth and families that need to be motivated to establish and reach their goals.  Visit him atwww.titusspeaks.org 00:55:00LettesChatnoThe Things God Whispered To Me,Titus Broom,Author,Lettes Chat,Motivational SpeakerThe Things God Whispered To Me is just that book that inspires readers to pay attention to the wisdom that is not just found on sunny days in life, but also wihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2013/11/14/relationship-expert-stephan-labossiere-comes-to-chatRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2013/11/14/relationship-expert-stephan-labossiere-comes-to-chat/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/letteschat/2013/11/14/relationship-expert-stephan-labossiere-comes-to-chatThu, 14 Nov 2013 01:00:00 GMTRelationship Expert Stephan Labossiere Comes To Chat Stephan Labossiere is a Certified Life & Relationship Coach, Speaker, and Author of the #1 Best Seller "God Where Is My Boaz" as well as the Award Winning book "How To Get A Woman To Have Sex With You...If You're Her Husband".

To attempt to relegate Ms. Kang to a conventional mold would be to defy an artist born with a multi-dimensional gift. Her constant evolving artistry continues to establish her as an iconoclast and pioneer of twenty-first century violinists embodying the art of production, visuals, arrangement, composition, and teaching. Born and raised in Canada to a single mother, Ms. Kang’s unusual gift for music was recognized immediately when she picked up the violin at the age of four. Seemingly destined to become a violinist, Judy instantly learned and memorized a piece at her first lesson. In just her first year of playing, she was performing solo recitals and winning competitions.

After only being there for 2 months, some events occurred which changed his plans, so he moved back to Orlando and worked for Carmike Cinemas in Winter Park, Florida for a full year.

The two-party system is failing, obstruction in the name of political aspiration is a new norm, and corporate money has corrupted Democracy itself. Through this chaos, the Republican Party fell victim to the shadow that swept across the country and in turn became part of the same darkness. The fringe of the party has pushed policies that promote sexism, racism, homophobia, and other hateful positions; such as their push to remove child labor laws, the war on women's reproductive rights, attacking public education, to the crusades against unions, their hostility toward the victims of natural disasters, and their disdain for the poor and middle class. In this world ever-changing through this time ever-testing, we've been chosen to stand for the principles of today just as our ancestors fought for the American ideals of yesterday. Our political system is a vehicle in which public necessity is accomplished and just like any dependable vehicle, even the American political system needs maintenance at times. However, it's obvious the system needs more than just an oil change. What we need is participation, articulation, mobilization, and civil insubordination. My name is Stephen Haynes, I'm the founder of a movement on Facebook called "Boycott the Republican Party in 2014." We believe that Democracy only functions well when the will of the people is heard and obeyed. We believe the flames of division shouldn't be fanned by hateful political stances. We believe this country is a home for the many and not the few. Together, we will stand against those who would do her harm. This boycott will gain momentum until change ensues. If we all do our part, I promise we will steer past these turbulent seas toward the bright lighthouse that is our principles and resolve and the beacon of light will deliver us safely home. 01:02:00LettesChatnodemocracy,republican,politics,Boycott the Republican Party in 2014,votingWith fear,uncertainty, and despair filling the void once filled with hope and promise, the political system rots at the core.

KC & The Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 40 years ago.  Harry Wayne Casey – KC for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like GET DOWN TONIGHT, THAT’S THE WAY (I LIKE IT) and SHAKE YOUR BOOTY.    With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award, KC and The Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 70’s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music!

Casey started working in the music business at age 17, performing menial tasks around the T.K. Records/Studio complex in his hometown of Miami.  The Sunshine Band originated in 1973, at which time he began writing songs with bassist Richard Finch. Their second album, KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND, was released in 1975, went triple platinum and contained the #1 hits GET DOWN TONIGHT, THAT’S THE WAY (I LIKE IT), BOOGIE SHOES.   KC & The Sunshine Band became the first act to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period since the Beatles in 1964.  Three of those singles crossed over to become #1 R&B, as well.

Then we found out that we'd been dealing with someone whom we didn't know at all. A pedophile. We were hurt, disappointed, angry and harbored feelings of resentment and betrayal.

The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group is lured to a secluded EUROPEAN CASTLE under the guise of a promised "fantasy getaway weekend." And as they read from an obscure storybook, a nefarious tale of avarice is reenacted for their entertainment. However, they are unaware that they are the cursed and have been gathered for their own personal and befitting executions. Jake McCallister, the "Events Coordinator" will have his hands full playing host to his young guests; Celine, the alluring and promiscuous Russian Temptress, Ashley, the contemptuous yet beautiful Australian Socialite, Amy, the innocent and meek Girl-Next-Door, Japoniko the mysterious Asian Minimalist, and Henry, the predatorial American Playboy. Shauna, the abrasive Irish Cook, and her cohort in crime Benoit, the bone-idle English Butler, along with the enigmatic German Priest Father Paul, and the benevolent local Shopkeeper, round out this unusual and extremely colorful cast of characters.

I left at age 23 after finding out he was sexually abusing the girls and boys of cult members, including the children of his "wives". Currently, he is in prison, serving 176 years however many of the children who stepped forward were harassed to no end by fanatics who don't believe Malachi York is guilty and by members who know he’s guilty but don't want the publicity. Many victims have retracted their statements because of intimidation and are now viewed as liars, betrayers, or demons for going against the leader. I helped raise many of those children and I can't express how angered/heartbroken I am for them and that so many still follow him and don't believe the abuse actually happened. Many were pulled out of school after 8th grade and are struggling to find their way as young adults. This is my story. www.soulsacrificeruby.com Ruby S.

Marissa's husband has a documented history of violence and domestic abuse toward women. In a jealous rage, Marissa's husband violently confronted her while she used the bathroom.  She was assaulted, shoved, strangled and held against her will. She was prevented from escaping and was not able to call 911. Her husband was asked to leave repeatedly. He and his two sons, were supposed to have exited through the front door but, did not. Her husband entered the kitchen wich leads to the garage and saw Marissa was unable to leave via the malfunctioning garage door. Her husband yelled "Bitch I will kill you!" and charged toward her. Marissa had retrieved her liscensed and registered gun which she owned for years before even meeting her husband – from her vehicle. She held the weapon in her right hand down by her side as he yelled, "Bitch I Will Kill You! And charged toward her. In fear and desperation, Marissa Alexander lifted her weapon, turned away and discharged a single shot in the  ceiling. As she stood her ground – that single shot prevented him from doing that which he had threatened. He ran out of the house where he contacted police and falsely reported that Marissa Alexander shot at him and his 2 sons. The police took Marissa Alexander into custody. Alexander's husband admitted that he was the agressor, threatened her life and was so enraged that he did not know what he would do – this being under sworn statement in November of 2010. Alexander's husband was arrested for domestic violence twice – once for abuse against Alexander.

Humans have marked their bodies with tattoos for thousands of years. These permanent designs—sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal—have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment. The earliest known examples were for a long time Egyptian and were present on several female mummies dated to c. 2000 B.C.  Because this seemed to be an exclusively female practice in ancient Egypt, we know that at least one of the women described as "probably a royal concubine" was actually a high-status priestess named Amunet, as revealed by her funerary inscriptions. And although it has long been assumed that such tattoos were the mark of prostitutes or were meant to protect the women against sexually transmitted diseases, the pattern of distribution, largely around the abdomen, on top of the thighs and the breasts, and would also explain the specific types of designs, in particular the net-like distribution of dots applied over the abdomen. During pregnancy, this specific pattern would expand in a protective fashion in the same way bead nets were placed over wrapped mummies to protect them and "keep everything in." The placing of small figures of the household deity Bes at the tops of their thighs would again suggest the use of tattoos as a means of safeguarding the actual birth, since Bes was the protector of women in labor, and his position at the tops of the thighs a suitable location.

In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once thriving Black business district in northern Tulsa lay smoldering--a model community destroyed and a major African-American economic movement resoundingly defused.The dollar circulated 36 to 100 times, sometimes taking a year for currency to leave the community. Now a dollar leaves the Black community in 15-minutes.  As a fitting tribute to Black Wall Street Eric Hamilton, Co-Founcer of the Around The Way APP joins me here at Lette's Chat to discuss how his APP is a technological tribute to Black Wall Street and Black Businesses around the country. Please download the APP and more importantly, spend your important and powerful dollars at a Black-owned business. Around The Way was recently named tech startup of the week by Black Enterprise.

I enjoy cooking with my friends and family, but I also love finding new and exciting restaurants that take me back to feeling like I’m home that I can share with others. I created Big Eats Small Spots out of my love for food and entertaining, but also to help others find great spots to eat. My show is unique in that it is a “live” restaurant directory giving people a visual of the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant, they get to know the owners or chefs, and they can see the wonderful food choices in order to make a more informative decision for the best place to dine. This idea was born out of continually being asked, “Where is a good place to eat?” when I worked as a Seattle tour bus driver. I wanted to recommend places to my passengers but take it one step further and create a way for them to see these restaurants and delicious food for themselves in a video online. When I ran this idea by my passengers, they’d always say, “I wish you had that before I came to visit here!”, and I knew then it would be a hit and would fill a need not found online today. We are also planning a spinoff called, “Big Eats Small Adventures” that we’re really excited about. This show, produced and hosted by Lawrence Taplin, will feature the new fad of food trucks that are invading cities all across America. Lawrence will give impromptu interviews with the owners and chefs and talk about the food they offer and where you can find them. With Lawrence’s charm, engaging personality, and his love for food, this show is sure to be fun, entertaining, and informative! Visit BigEatsSmallSpots.com and let us know what you think!

Extreme Dance Program in 2008. For two years she taught it as a specialty program deciding to abandon Zumba in August 2010. Carrithyms! is known for burning lots of calories and sculpting muscle but also it is known for the guarantee to gain at least one half of your 10,000 daily recommended steps per day as you learn Caribbean and world cultural dance at 75 – 90% of your maximum heart rate.  Carrithyms! is backed by the National Aerobics and Fitness Trainers Association (NAFTA) and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).  Kendra has certified instructors with 15 to date.

Alessi, a New York native, spent most of his youth playing competitive ice hockey and fighting as an amateur boxer. Paul made time to participate in his community as a volunteer firefighter and a coach for youth sports. His work experience has been diverse, to say the least, from driving a zamboni, to patrolling as a security guard, to working construction. As fate would have it, his piercing blue eyes and toned physique got him noticed while working at a construction site in Manhattan. Soon after, his modeling career was on the move and so was he to Los Angeles. Upon his arrival, Paul had the pleasure of working with F. Gary Gray ("The Italian Job," and "The Negotiator.") He debuted as the tragic AIDS victim featured in TLC’s 1995 award winning video, “Waterfalls,” which won the Best Video of the Year. Acting had always been an interest for Paul, so he decided to pursue it full-time. Paul has showcased a diverse palette of acting, with a repertoire ranging from a psychopathic rapist with serial killer habits, to a heartfelt, confused guy on his road to redemption. As a hit man in the mob to a Marine in the sands of Iraq, Paul's flawless performances earned him critical acclaim. Seeking to improve the quality of films, Paul decided to use his gift for gab and knack for networking by producing. Producing not only on his own films but on Studio front as well, most recently being Sony Picture’s The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day, directed by Troy Duffy.   Paul's professional demeanor and easygoing attitude have opened the minds and doors of some of the best in the business. These individuals recognize the talent and potential in Paul that makes him the next "it guy" in the business...and that suits him just fine. 01:01:00LettesChatnoPaul Alessi,Boondock Saints,Italian Job,The Negotiator,actorPaul J.

Thoughts from a REAL man... In my on-going series about domestic violence and abuse, it's good to remember there are REAL men out there who abhor violence against women. It's good to identify these men, put them on a pedastal and give them a forum to voice their concerns about domestic violence as well. My friend, Wade Davis, LGBTQ Surrogate to President Obama, returns to Lette's Chat tonight to weigh in on this issue. Wade recently posted this startling information as posted on MSNBC's website:    According to official estimates, 20% of women serving in the United States armed forces will be sexually assaulted while serving their country. In all likelihood, the real figure is larger than that, given low reporting rates. Even if that number is accurate, that’s as many as 500,000–half a million–women assaulted since the armed forces began admitting women. I want to repeat that one more time, because I want us to really think about it—half a million women, sexually assaulted. That’s about as many people as live in Raleigh, North Carolina.       01:05:00LettesChatnowade davis,domestic violence,rape,abuse,sexual assaultIn my on-going series about domestic violence and abuse, it's good to remember there are REAL men out there who abhor violence against women.

This is a totally non partisan movement that aims to correct major problems in our government, namely congress. Our congress has a 10% approval rating and with good reason. They can't or won't compromise and therefore are in deadlock, obstructing the peoples and the POPTUS work. We believe that it is because "big money" has corrupted our government. Our main goal is to stop this by demanding for Campaign finance reform and a 28th amendment over turning Citizens United. We have many other goals, but this is the primary purpose of our movement. There is a lot of talk around the nation of the symptoms of the problem, but we are going after the disease itself. Unlike other movements, we feel we are unique in that we are going to apply leverage. We march on Washington on August 16, 2014, just before the mid term elections. If by that time if congress fails to act on the peoples demands, we will be asking the people to vote out all incumbents. No one has got the congresses attention yet and we feel the only way to do it is to hand them their pink Slips. Me, I am a musician. I am the conductor of a highly successful orchestra in Fredericksburg VA called the Rappahannock Pops orchestra. I hold degrees from the highest regarded music schools in the country and abroad.

Although she considers herself born with the gift to write, it wasn’t until she took a job as a newspaper journalist that she realized writing fiction was her true calling in life. She is obsessed with forensic science and crime investigations, which greatly shapes the kind of stories she creates. If someone told her she could no longer write, she would feel the need to become a homicide detective. On second thought, she would probably just write that person into her next crime novel as the murder victim. She spent three years in New Orleans learning all she could about voodoo before writing her latest thriller novel, Cunja. She would describe her discoveries as delving into a dark world only few would willingly visit.

It’s a comedy (with swearing and murder) about Don Grigioni (John Colella), a hitman who thought he had the solution to all his problems, become a vampire.  Don never planned on making his wife, Annie (Reamy Hall) a vampire, “But then I got hungry.”  Annie bites her mother, Virginia (played by Emmy winning actress Marcia Wallace) because she wants someone to complain about Don to and now Virginia’s moving in with them, for eternity. With Don’s business slowing down, more mouths to feed and a power shake up with “the families,” the last thing Don needs is another to-do on his to-do list - find out who wants him dead.   An original series with cast from Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Parks & Recreation and Criminal Minds, Vampire Mob was written, directed & edited by award-winning filmmaker, Joe Wilson.    You DON'T want to miss this show!

After working in advertising and marketing for 10 years, Lewis launched his own photography and creative studio in 2008, Noire3000, in Atlanta. Naked Black Justice is a campaign Lewis started to address racial injustice. “My role with this campaign is to bring awareness to the issues of racism, prejudice and overall ignorance targeted at blacks in American and abroad,” he says. “I have assumed the role of a modern day griot of sorts to share my story and the stories of others with the masses to bring about a change in our society.” I am the sole conceptual creator of this project. I photographed every person, painted every saying and documented every segment of video footage. I have been faced with those who try to put me in a certain category simply based on my race. I find that it’s one of those situations of … “You’re black, so clearly you’re ignorant, or you didn’t attend college or you probably have a felony on your record.” When the truth of the matter is I have a college degree, I am a business owner, I’m very intelligent and I don’t have any type of criminal history at all.   00:55:00LettesChatnoJames C Lewis,Naked Black Justice,Black Community,African Americans,Blacks in AmericaJames Cornelius Lewis, a native of Statesboro, Ga., earned his bachelor’s in visual communications from the Art Institute of Atlanta.

Scott B. Pruden is the author of Immaculate Deception, a satirical, near-future thriller set among the beaches of South Carolina. When he's not doing things like fiddling with blogs, he's working on freelance assignments from corporate clients and magazines and working on his next (as yet untitled) novel, which promises to be just as odd as this one, only in a somewhat different way. Think of it as "Fringe" and "The X Files" meets "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Scott was born in Camden, S.C., and split his pre-teen and teen years between Summerville, S.C., and Wilmington, Del. He graduated from the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina and had a 15-year career in the newspaper business, making his way around the Palmetto State, Delaware, Arizona and southcentral Pennsylvania. He now resides in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa. He narrowly escaped the newspaper industry in 2004 to become a full-time freelance writer and novelist. He loves talking about writing, publishing and generally shooting the bull with readers and other writers. He writes about writing and indie publishing at scottpruden.com.

Dawn Animals are here to teach humans. They have many powerful lessons to give. They remind us that we are only a small part of creation; that each part of creation has a place; that each creature has its own skill and wisdom. Take this to another level by finding and working with an animal spirit guide of your own... Animal spirit guides (sometimes called animal totems) are powerful guardians of the land and spirit realm. They communicate with the pre-conscious ancient human mind. Forming a relationship with an animal guide could make you a better person: If you successfully contact and work with your animal spirit guide, you could end up healthier physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You will, hopefully, see the world and all things in it with more clarity and understanding.  Many cultures hold animals sacred. Various types of animals, especially snakes and birds, have been held in great esteem by early peoples around the world and many cultures created rituals and built temples to worship them. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Hindus, Buddhists, Aztecs and other cultures venerated and worshiped various animals, birds and reptiles.

DAVIS is a native of the Washington, DC area. She graduated from South University earning a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. She is currently pursuing her MBA. Davis is a 34 year old mother of three who resides in Upper Marlboro, MD. She is also the owner of a growing Accounting & Consulting firm. How could my husband be GAY? is her first novel.   Love is parallel to none when it comes down to the impact that it has on our lives. For adolescents, it can change the course of emotions and academic performance. For adults, it can add purpose and fulfillment to our daily lives. For seniors, it can bring a warm feeling of comfort that embodies the ideal of twilight years. How could my husband be GAY? is an autobiographical look into the life of Ondrea L. Davis. On the outside, Ondrea's life is nothing short of a fairy tale. She has a dream home, the perfect husband and three beautiful children. Ondrea soon discovers that her husband, Marceous King, is not the man she thought she married. Exhausting all efforts to salvage her marriage, Ondrea finds herself in the fight of her life. In the process, she uncovers a highly sophisticated web of deception and shocking secrets. Marceous will stop at nothing to keep Ondrea from exposing the truth and derailing his plan - even if it means destroying her in the process.  Have you ever ignored any red flags regarding your mate?

These days, she’s missing the wide-open skies and starry nights but loving her dark forest in Central Arkansas, with its eccentric characters and isolation—the better to feed her hungry muse! For Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines, because it’s comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war and many countries, cultures, jobs, and relationships to bring her to the place where she is now—writing sexy adventures that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation. Delilah Devlin is a prolific and award-winning author of erotica and erotic romance with a rapidly expanding reputation for writing deliciously edgy stories with complex characters. Whether creating dark, erotically-charged paranormal worlds or richly descriptive historical stories that ring with authenticity, Delilah Devlin “pens in uncharted territory that will leave the readers breathless and hungering for more…” (Paranormal Reviews) Ms. Devlin has published over 100 erotic stories in multiple genres and lengths.

But what happens? How do the affects of identity theft change the lives of victims in its wake? My guest, Angela, knows and has written a book about it. Angela writes: This book is dedicated to the many victims of identity theft that was committed through their personal computer in the privacy of their own home! The purpose of writing this book is to help inform the average person who owns a personal computer how to protect oneself from identity theft. By exposing some of the dangers and risks involved with owning such an item, perhaps people could avoid going through a similar experience. The experiences documented in this book are meant to help instruct people about the use of computers. By understanding how they operate, it will help people see what they are capable of. Hopefully, people will be better equipped to protect their financial data as well as their personal lives. Although many people have good intentions with the use of their computers, there are some out there, who have bad thoughts and intentions. In fact, a hacker can turn a person’s computer into a weapon without them knowing. In some cases, it could look like the victim committed the crime when in fact they had no knowledge of the crime that was being committed. 01:02:00LettesChatnothrough angelas eye,identity theft,internet theft,computer crime,hackersWe frequently hear about identity theft, a growing problem since the onset of the Age of Technology.

Is love enough? White celebrities have made it a common practice to adopt black babies from foreign countries, providing them with a better life than they could have ever possibly imagined if they had remained in their homeland. We're flooded with images of single white female celebrities cuddling black babies. However, celebrities have the means to provide a lifestyle to a child uncommon to most people and are able to encase their children in a life outside the norm. There's no doubt they love their children and will offer them the best that money can buy, including exclusivity. But what about "normal" people who adopt children outside their own race? Are they equipped to expose those children to their cultural heritage? Is it necessary to do so? Can they raise "normal" children of a different skin tone? Join me when I talk to "Duncan", a bi-racial male, who was given up for adoption by his white mother (black father) in the late 1960's. He was adopted by a white family at 5 days old and has 3 siblings that are biological children of his adoptive parents. Duncan looks black on the outside but for a long time didn't understand that when he felt white on the inside. What does that mean? Listen as he describes how he was not raised as a black man, but as a white man inside a black man's body. How did it turn out for him?
