Uhm! Let me answer with this at least 50 e-mails i have received in the last 2 weeks asking if i would stop reviewing porn just because i have been father for the first time. Well, answer is NO. That's my promise from the heart; same as the title reviewing today.

There’s one thing I know every time I put a David Stanley porn into my DVD player: it’s going to be an interesting story. But the surprise I got from viewing Promises Of The Heart is how great a job Stanley did with the sex scenes. Each one of them is pretty hot, and the opening threesome between Jenna Haze, Mia Smiles and Evan Stone is one of the best I’ve seen in a couples’ feature this year.

The movie stars Jenna Haze and Chris Cannon as a pair of friends who (on Chris’ birthday) decide that if they aren’t with someone in a year’s time, they will get married to each other. Jenna says this more-or-less as a joke, but Chris takes it seriously, and when his next birthday rolls around, he confronts her with what she said a year ago.

It’s important to point out here that most of what happens in Promises Of The Heart occurs as a flashback. The movie begins with an injured and bloodied Chris being loaded onto an ambulance, and the movie basically details how he got to that point. We don’t find out exactly what has happened to Chris or what the result is until the very end of the movie. The DVD of Promises Of The Heart offers the movie in anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 Dolby sound. Extras on the disc consist of a bonus scene with Jenna and Evan (taken from The Morgan Sex Project 6); the trailer for Promises; a 19-minute Making-Of featurette; slides shows; biographies for the girls; six trailers; and the standard promotional material one will find on all Wicked DVD releases.

The first David Stanley movie I’ve seen where the sex is better than the story, Promises Of The Heart is fun for any fan of Jenna Haze, yet still interesting enough to keep the attention of female viewers who may be watching alone or as part of a couple.

Ok! I needed to create a new category that will be called nv30 love where i will showcase my new templates done in flash based in the designers i love. My last template is based in Damien's design where his colour scheme and structure has been used as inspiration for me.

Claudia and my Wife, Susana, are back home. She is 10 days old right now, and both are doing fine. I realized in the last days that i changed from being husband to be husband-father. Same happens with Susana, changing from being wife to be wife-mother. She is doing fine. She is doing pretty fine. I love my wife more than anything in the world and i feel like she will be a very good mother for Claudia.

Now that both of us are getting used to non-sleeping during the nights for more than 3 hours i decided it is time to design while she is sleeping. Never thought i could do 2 new designs in 7 hours. Maybe it is just because of her. Enjoy them as i did designing them while Claudia was sleeping.

You all know where to purchase them.

La canción del día que naciste tenía un comienzo alegre. Apenas unos acordes de guitarra, una batería cada vez más rápida; todo hacía presagiar con el compás que habría muchos sentimientos y ningún falso maquillaje de afectividad; sólo unos segundos y llega la batería otra vez, otra guitarra. La voz contenta, animada a fuerza de lucidez y soledad, conocedora de la sensación más grande hasta la fecha en 31 años de vida. No pensaba en tí, hija, no pensaba en tí, Claudia, sólo pensaba en tu madre. Dicen que los padres han de decir la verdad.

El día que naciste recordé que no es tan fácil sentirse abandonado, no es una isla rodeada de extraños incapaces de encontrar la palabra adecuada, no es una moribunda en medio de la fiesta. Por eso quisiera, mi niña, que te enredaras en esa canción, de gente ilusionada aferrada a alegrías y esperanzas. Quisiera cantarte nanas que convocasen dulces sueños mientras te mezo en mis brazos y tu madre nos mira. La canción del día que naciste me ayuda a pensar que eres un personaje muy importante en mi vida. Con solo 3 dias y 8 horas de vida.

People have used flowers to express their feelings, enhance their surroundings, and to commemorate important rituals and observances throughout history. The knowledge of how our ancestors used flowers comes to us in numerous ways. All forms of art, depict the use of flowers: music, books, paintings, sculpture, ceramics and tapestries are only examples of some of the sources of information regarding the use of flowers in past times. Some of the most opulent examples of source material for us are the flower pictures produced by artists during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which so accurately dipict flowers in their incredible beauty.

As we know them today, flower arrangements represent an amalgamation of two styles: the 'European and New World Style' and the 'Oriental' style. The European style arrangements from which we borrowed were filled with large numbers of flowers rich in various colors, and are referred to as 'Mass Arrangements'. In contrast, the Oriental styles emphasized simplicity, containing few flowers and conservative colors, and, as they emphasized lines instead of masses, are known as 'Line Arrangements'.
