The story takes place with Brendan King, a foster kid, just released from juvenile detention after serving a three year sentence, starts attending an affluent high school in a suburb outside of the city. Brendan is determined to get his life back in order and works hard to achieve his goal, but when confronted by his old gang leader; his life seems to be on the fast track to destroying everything he has just built.

TransMedia has used this powerful film to place products such as Tom's Knife and Fork Lift, Kesi Case men's clothing and accessories line, and Dr. Fischer's Ultrasol Sunscreen integrating advertisement and art.

Z Connector: Fusing Fashion and Safety

We have all seen the reports on the rising number of thefts of our precious iPods, iPhones, mp3 players and other mobile devices. Whether its on a subway, a bus, a plane, the mall or even if it's your own couch cushion to blame, our mobile devices are targets for theft. What’s worse is that replacing these devices is no easy chore. It costs extra to get the devices insured, and often that very insurance doesn’t fully replace a lost or stolen item. Then it takes hours of waiting on the phone just to find out the disappointing news that the item won’t be replaced and it will cost a ba-gillion dollars to replace it. Often, we can't even replace our beloved mobile device because of the rabbit paced evolution of technology which leaves a newer and more expensive version of what we want to be replaced as the only option.

Additionally, when we buy our mobile devices, we consistently search for accessories to add to them because we like to make them our own. We feel a sort of connection to our devices, which makes sense; they are with us more than infants are with their mothers. These additions range anywhere from plastic cover screens, to big bulky clips on so we can keep track of it. Unfortunately, most of these clip-ons, cases and pouches don’t look cool and don’t let you carry the phone where you want it most; in your pocket! Fortunately though, for those accessory and style hounds out there that want to keep up on the latest innovative accessories, the Z-connector has arrived.


The Z-connector is a stylish chain that connects to your mobile device and hooks to various articles, including clothing, purses and really just about anything you would want to hook it on to. With gold and silver chains of various designs, the Z-connector brings classic fashion into fission with modern technology. Just as people had elegant and beautiful chains attached to their pocket watches, for style and security, the Z-connector provides both as well. Let’s see a thief try to snatch your previous hand-held devices with a silver or gold chain attached to it. Not happening.

With the Z-connector we finally have an accessory that keeps your phone or mp3 player in your pocket, but without you having to worry about sticky hands getting a hold of it while you’re not looking. Bringing the fashion element is crucial as well. Who doesn’t enjoy an extra draping of shining gold or silver around them? Rather than a bulky, ugly clip on carrier case, feel just as safe, if not more, with the Z-connector, providing you the ultimate connection with your phone or mobile device.

Court Story Communications Retains TransMedia Group to Tell Its Own Story to Prospective Law Firm Clients in Florida

Court Story Communications, a New York-based public relations firm that specializes in representing law firms, has retained TransMedia Group to make it more widely known in litigious areas like Florida.

"Our publicity will position Court Story Communications (
www.courtstory.com) as a firm led by an attorney dedicated to obtaining media exposure for other attorneys looking to raise their profile nationally," said Transmedia CEO Tom Madden.

Florida-based Transmedia (
www.transmediagroup.com) described Court Story president Olivier Gibbons as an astute attorney who was a reporter at such publications as the The Palm Beach Post and worked as a journalist at broadcast media before starting his own firm.

Gibbons said TransMedia is the ideal PR firm to represent Court Story outside of New York because TransMedia is known in legal circles, particularly in Florida, for having helped so many clients to become famous in their respective areas.

According to TransMedia, the publicity campaign on behalf of Court Story will underscore how Gibbons fully understands and respects the critical nature of privileged and confidential communications.

According to Madden, publicity that extols the virtues of a PR practitioner and stresses how one PR firm is more proficient than others in a particular field benefits the whole profession.

"When One PR firm casts a colleague in a positive light, it raises the publicity bar in a way that benefits the entire public relations profession," he said.

About Court Story Communications

Court Story actively promotes legal clients as authorities and experts in their respective fields and arranges interviews for them in such national media as AP and Bloomberg as well as in legal trade publications, from American Lawyer to Asian Legal Business Magazine.

"Law firms too often send out news releases that only masquerade as news whereas TransMedia will show how Court Story makes law firms and their experts newsworthy," Gibbons said.

About TransMedia Group

TransMedia Group is a full-service, multi-lingual firm serving clients worldwide since 1981 from offices in Boca Raton, London, and Paris.

Cleaning for Cancer



TransMedia Group welcomes aboard new client, Cleaning for Cancer! The nonprofit organization is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, but provides free residential cleaning services to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy nationwide.

Desravines, 24 years old from Haiti, lost both grandmothers to cancer.

Salon Ratay Raises Funds for Double-Lung Transplant Patient





The fabulous Salon Ratay in Lake Mary, FL hosted a Cut-A-Thon Fundrasier last Monday evening to raise funds for a double-lung transplant patient.


Diane Fields has battled allergic bronchopulminary aspergillosis, a condition that has irreversibly scarred her lungs and caused pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Diane was diagnosed at the age of 15 and has been dealing with her disease ever since. After years of struggle, she now relies on an oxygen tank for every breath. Doctors say a double-lung transplant is her only hope for a second chance at life. Diane, a retired nurse, has been married to Michael for 31 years and has 4 children.


Diane's relative is a client at Salon Ratay, and upon hearing the news, owner Sherry Ratay decided to pitch in and offer deeply discounted $20 haircuts as a fundraiser for Diane. 100% of the funds raised were donated to the National Transplant Foundation in Diane Fields honor.

The Economic Costs of Charlie Sheen’s Wild Life Style

Charlie Sheen’s epic meltdown has dominated America’s asinine media conversation for the past few weeks.

FORMER NBC EXECUTIVE INVENTS RESTAURANT CONCEPT FOR CHARLIE SHEEN, WHERE GODDESSES WILL WAIT ON YOU


Boca Raton, Fl - - TransMeida Group, a public relations firm based in Florida, has come up with an idea for Charlie Sheen that could probably return more money than CBS owes him - a restaurant chain called Charlie Sheen Restaurants, "where godesses will wait on you" - and has even registered the domain http://www.charliesheenrestaurant.com/.

TransMedia's CEO, a former programming VP for NBC, thinks that it could be big money-maker and therapy for Sheen. Madden says if Sheen participates he has investor interest and it could be a slam dunk investment.

Madden, a product inventor, said he even has the cutlery for the restaurant, which he recently patented called the Knife and Forklift, a combination of dumbbell and utensils that functions as training wheels for overeaters. He said they could be included in the restaurant concept, to help fight food addiction and rapid eating that is contributing to America's obesity epidemic.

"We need to stop treating our digestive tracts as racing tracks," Madden says. "It is time for Sheen to take advantage of those million-plus Twitter followers and lead them in to the promised restaurant land."

The Oscars: Red Carpet Jewelry Recap

Red Carpet Recap by top South Florida gemologist, Richard Resnik of Raymond Lee Jewelers (www.raymondleejewelers.net) with locations in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. Richard goes on to break down the two main trends he predicted for the Oscar’s red carpet based on the Golden Globes: ballerina or bombshell.

The Oscars: Red Carpet Jewelry Recap

The Golden Globes Awards were a strong indication of what we could expect from this year’s Academy Awards. As previously predicted the two main looks for women this year was a choice of two extremes, one was either a Ballerina or Bombshell. Jewelry choices remained simple with a ‘less is more.’ Bracelets and earrings were the main focus along with bare shoulders and necklines.

The following actresses stood out amongst the red carpet pack and their style has been graded on a scale of 0-4 Diamonds.

Oscar Host and future Cat Woman star Anne Hathaway, channels her inner Grecian Goddess in a gorgeous white beaded gown, accessorizing with sparkling diamond studs and a wide diamond bracelet, as the first of her many looks. In her second to last look of the evening she stuns with a royal blue metallic gown and sapphire drop earrings.
Grade 4 Diamonds.

Best Actress Winner Natalie Portman simply glows in her plum colored Verdarte gown and gorgeous Tiffany and Co. ruby tassel earrings.
Grade 4 Diamonds
Best Actress Nominee Jennifer Lawrence was the first star to grace the red carpet this evening and is a true bombshell in the making with her bright red figure flattering gown and simple gold bangle. While she is completely devoid of jewelry with the exception of the gold bangle she successfully avoided the pitfall most first timers make and doesn’t look like she is playing “dress up”
Grade 2 Diamonds

Best Supporting Actress Winner Melissa Leo- House of Mirrors or House of Horrors? This Marc Bower mishap is like looking into the sun- look at it straight on and you’ll go blind. She accents her outfit with simple drop earrings and an unimpressive pendant that like her dress, falls flat.
Grade 1 Diamond

Best Supporting Actress Nominee Amy Adams is never afraid of color. The radiant redhead is stunning in a navy beaded gown. I firmly believe redheads look best with a little bit of green to contrast with their fiery locks and she is no exception, as done so here with a gorgeous Cartier Jade pendant.
Grade 2 Diamonds

Black Swan’s Mila Kunis continues to carry off the ballerina style with a lacy periwinkle gown and simple forward facing hoops and pave diamond bangles.
Grade 2 Diamonds
