Nadia Sahari - Video games or Guns, which is the culprit for school killings?
Today, I saw something disturbing. The number one Video Game is a violent game with mass destruction. Grown-ups are advocating and promoting this on media. Why? Does this not affect children and their brains, anesthetize them to the point of not feeling any emotion? Why are we not looking at this situation? Isn’t this Video Game craze going to far? Are Video Games causing kids to go and kill parents, friends and schoolmates? I don’t believe it’s a gun issue, I believe the culprit of violence in our society are the Video Games. How do you feel about this statement? Children are playing violent Video Games and becoming Robots like the characters in the game? This is my opinion..

ZOOMLENZ
ZOOMLENZ was originally conceived as a powerful and progressive studio project by WILD DOGS' guitarist and drummer, Jeff Mark and Tom Moller. The idea was to create something new and unique, while still retaining the heavy drum and guitar attack these two relentlessly delivered in the blistering metal band, WILD DOGS (Enigma/Capitol Records). With the addition of Terrence Lee Fletcher, a well known progressive bassist from the Northwest, the core of this intense new group was born. With an exceptional trio of power musicians now finally together, the missing link was the addition of a world class singer. Enter vocalist extraordinaire, Willie Dee Daffern, singer for Captain Beyond, Gary Moore's G-Force, and a number of other well known recording and touring acts. The search for the right mix of exceptional musicians to collaborate on the writing and recording of this stunning new musical gem was now complete.

GARY SHUSETT-Producer, screenwriter
An article written about Gary Shusett by Hal Croasmun:
I believe Gary Shusett has a unique perspective when it comes to the business of screenwriting. He runs Sherwood Oaks Experimental College where he brings in over 200 producers, agents, and managers to speak to very small groups - 8 - 12 screenwriters.
At the same time, his brother (Ronnie Shusett) doubles as both a producer and screenwriter on such movies as TOTAL RECALL, ALIEN, and MINORITY REPORT. Gary was also the driving force behind MOON OVER PARADOR with Richard Dreyfuss and has been a part of the movie business in Hollywood for over 30 years.
Every few weeks, Gary is in a meeting with screenwriters on one side of the table and producers on the other. For years, he's been listening to the goals, concerns and complaints of both sides.
Unlike most people, Gary can clearly see the gap between the two camps.

BILL HOUSKEEPER-Actor
At the age of 7 years old I knew that I wanted to be an actor. My father was a coal miner, and my mother worked hard for United Way. Together they both taught me the importance of good work ethics. Growing up in a small coal mining town in central Utah there was not a lot of theater outside of the local college and community theater where I grew up, but I made the most of it acting in every production I could get in.
I graduated from Mesa University with a Bachelors in theater acting, and after graduation I began doing lighting designs on cruise ships and ended up traveling most of the world. When I finally moved to L.A. I put all of my attention into my acting career. So far the roles and phone calls have not stopped and I’m pleased to say that I am a working Actor.

NIKI AGUIRRE-Creative artist and photographer
In Niki Aguirre's own words:
My degree is in biology and I am truly a science geek at heart, but my passion lies within creating art. With good fortune and blessing I plan to make it my life’s work. I’ve explored many artistic areas since childhood. I began in art, as my natural talent is in drawing. I have also been a musician since the age of twelve.In addition to art and music I also spent a great deal of time studying acting and working on independent films during my college years. Having had a film background, telling a story through an image is of utmost importance to me. I was photographically born, so to speak, in the fall of 2010. Photography has a very different approach in bringing an audience to their conclusion. I don’t want to give answers. I want to provoke questions with my art and any work that will let me do so is perfect for me.

JENN BOSTIC, Singer, songwriter
"Jealous of the Angels," was written for my dad. He passed away in a tragic car accident when I was ten years old. Music and songwriting became the only forms of therapy that truly allowed me to express my emotions. I have written multiple songs on this subject, but it wasn't until fourteen years after his death that we (cowriters Zach Runquist and Jimmy Fortune) created something that represented everything I felt. I remember saying that night that my one wish was to know that he was smiling down on me and that he was proud of me. That night I prayed. I prayed every night for two months that God would give me some sort of sign that my dad was smiling down on me. I didn't tell anyone what I was praying for, but I was believing God for a selfish answer. On Christmas Eve that year, my best friend in the world, who has been with me through everything, called me from Oregon at 7:15 in the morning to tell me about a dream she had had the night before. She said my dad was i…

KASHY KEEGAN, A self-taught piano singer/songwriter. Kashy was named after a close family friend, the name is Persian meaning the soul.A quiet child, focused and driven from a young age, he grew shy and tired of competing for playground attention or popularity at school. In his words:
Growing up I was definitely a loner. I found it hard to find common ground with anyone. I found my confidence in my voice. I was named the ITN/Sightsavers Young Journalist of the year 1999 and got the chance to interview famous film director Steven Spielberg.
I think the human voice is the most powerful instrument there is. I figure that no matter who you are, or what you try to be, there will always be someone who disapproves. So you might as well be yourself.

Hello Friends and everyone, Glad you are listening to my show this morning. I want to share a few things that many don't know. My memoir BREAKAWAY: How I Survived Abuse was written over a twenty-five year period. I had to relive all the abuses before I could finish. As I wrote, cried, wrote and rewrote, I finally found the peace and healing inside to talk about it and to get my book published. It's here after many years. The stories of women and men who have read it is incredible and heart warming. It has given them hope beyond words, encouragement and inspiration to make important changes in their lives.

Here, she was thrust into a melting pot of American culture, style and music. This helped to shape her unique musical style and talent, which led to the development of her first album Catharsis.
Nadine Mansour: Ever since I was little I wanted to be a performer. My parents once told me when I was younger that they took me to a street fair and there was a stage with a microphone. They said that without hesitation I ran up and started singing. As you can imagine they were so embarrassed! Music has always called me even at a young age. After joining the choir in 6th grade, my choir director encouraged me to keep singing and I haven’t stopped since.
