Sheriff's son pleads guilty to jail sex, sentenced to probation
|(WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ind.) -- The 29-year-old son of the Washington County sheriff has pleaded guilty to a charge that he had sex with a female jail inmate while working there.
Jason T. Combs, of Campbellsburg, was sentenced Thursday to a year and a half of probation for the offense, which involved three incidents on the night of Nov. 30, 1999, and early the next day, state police said.
Combs, a former confinement officer at the jail, is the son of Sheriff Claude Combs, whose office oversees the jail.
After a three-month investigation, Jason Combs was charged in May with two felony counts of sexual misconduct by a service provider. He also was charged with misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure and official misconduct.
Combs pleaded guilty to one of the felony counts, and the other charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement.
A year after his probation ends, he can apply for his conviction to be modified from a felony to a misdemeanor. Washington Circuit Court Judge Robert Bennett also ruled that Combs have no contact with the former inmate.
According to court documents, Combs entered the women's cell block with two male inmates and moved a surveillance camera. He then allowed the men to have sex with two female inmates, witnesses told police.
Combs later returned to the cell block twice to have sex with a female inmate, the documents said.
Sheriff Combs said yesterday that he didn't attend the hearing at which his son pleaded guilty, and he declined comment on the sentence. A special prosecutor from Harrison County was assigned to the case.
''I've stayed totally and completely out of it,'' Combs said.
His son, who was hired in February 1999, was fired April 1, he said.
''What he'd done is a violation of jail rules and policy,'' the sheriff said. ''We didn't need to change our rules, we just needed to discipline him. ''
Since his son's dismissal, the jail has changed its security procedures, Combs said.
When the jail was built, one key opened every cell door. Now there is a separate key for the women's cells held only by the matron on duty.

What morons came up with this list? Where is Duane Allman's solo on Elizabeth Reed from Live at Fillmore East? Not even on here. The greatest solo of all time and not even on the list. You've got Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins way up above David Gilmour's Money solo. What the fuck? About half these solos need to be scratched off the list and replaced by much more deserving solos. Nirvana? WTF?

Your list incorrectly credits the solo on "...Corvette" to Prince. In fact, I played the solo on the record, and am properly credited on the album. I'd greatly appreciate you making this correction.
Kind regards,

Please check the credits for the album 'The Royal Scam'. this solo was played by Larry Carlton, not Denny Diaz. Denny plays a great lead on the very jazzy, funky track 'Green Earrings', from the same LP. PS:I understand most of the readers are rockers, but how about a Jazz/jazz-rock-fusion top 100 list? I'm new to the site and I'm not a regular buyer of your magazine, so in case you guys already published a Jazz/fusion list,my apologies and please refer me to it.Peace

Sterling Morrison and Lou Reed play guitar on the Velvet Underground version which doesn't have a guitar solo. If I were to take a wild guess here, I think the editors meant the version on the Lou Reed album "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" which feature Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars.

Part-time *SPRING TUTORS* needed for all subjects and age-levels in (and around) the SAN ANGELO area. Currently our company has an immediate need for tutors who are able to work right away during the Spring months of 2013 (and even beyond). We need tutors NOW as the amount of "Tutoring Requests" we've been receiving from parents/students has increased substantially in the last few weeks. This increase is due to students requiring additional homework support and academic help as they get deeper into their studies. As a tutor you'll be able to pick and choose which local students that you'd like to work with. All tutoring is conducted one-on-one at a neutral location such as a library, on campus, or a nearby coffee shop. Because we have such a high demand for new tutors at this time, prior tutoring experience is NOT required to be a busy and successful tutor. NO long commutes are ever required and if the tutoring location is close, possessing a car is not necessary.
The hardest part of being an independent private tutor is finding students. Listing yourself in our database changes all of that. Now parents come to you! Furthermore, for the small yearly fee of $19.99, there are no limits on the number of subjects you can choose to tutor, nor are there any limits on the number of students you may receive through "Where's My Tutor?".
Flexible. Varies by tutor. Roughly 2-10 hours per week.
Set your own rates ($20+/hour).
If you are interested in tutoring right away during the Spring (and even beyond), please send an email inquiry to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Do these timings of sunrise and sunset on this day – 7am and 5:34pm respectively – as quoted by The Gulf Today, help constitute any theory in astronomy? Only experts can comment on this astronomical phenomenon which shows no change in the celestial positioning of the earth.Temperatures will also continue to drop as the official winter season begins next Sunday.Sharjah recorded a maximum 27°C on Thursday, the time at which this report was filed.Last year's winter solstice was a day of anxiety in some other parts of the world due to a hoax "Doom's Day prediction".The winter solstice is the official start of the winter season in the northern hemisphere of the globe as the sun, on this day, reaches its southern-most inclination. "We in the UAE receive just ten-and-a-half hours of sunlight during the next couple of days, marking the shortest days of the year on Dec 21, 22 and 23. During the summer solstice days of June 20, 21 and 22, we get more than 14 hours of 'living day light'," said Mohamed Talib Al Salami, the chairman of Adco Astronomy Club and Member of Abu Dhabi Heritage Group. The same thing happens to people in the southern hemisphere, as the sun is right on top of the Tropic of Capricorn at 13.5 degrees south latitude. The situation is reversed when the sun travels to the Tropic of Cancer in the north, he added.The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. Depending on the Gregorian calendar, the December solstice occurs annually on a day between Dec.20 and 23. On this date, all places above the latitude of 66.5 degrees north are now in darkness, while locations below the latitude of 66.5 degrees south receive 24 hours of daylight. "The interesting thing is that those living or travelling south from the Antarctic Circle towards the South Pole will see the midnight sun during this time of the year," Al Salami said.On the contrary, for an observer in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight. Those living or travelling north from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole will not be able to see the sun during this time of the year.The solstice is also responsible for the seasons through controlling the intensity and duration of sunlight received at various locations around the planet, he added.

Please view the above Ingredients tab for ingredient information.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3: Argireline is the trade name. Synthetically produced, it is a peptide made of amino acids. It can help reduce the overall appearance of deep wrinkles.
Algae: A simple celled organism. Commonly derived from seaweed and other times harvested in ponds, algae are touted as a moisturizer. It is rich in minerals and therefore believed to have anti-oxidant properties that are revitalizing to the skin. Some algae will shrink as they dry on the skin, providing a temporary tightening effect.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): A common and well known chemical exfoliator that helps loosen the dry rough skin cells to reveal softer, smooth looking skin. It has been used for many years, and is now offered in a milder formulation in beauty products. It reveals, through chemical exfoliation, a new layer of skin by helping increasing the cell turnover rate. It is used to reduce the look of wrinkling, roughness and skin discoloration. Mainly available in facial and body creams, it's also found in some cosmetic preparations.
Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis): The aloe plant that is used in topical preparations is one of 300 species of aloes and is indigenous to South Africa. Known for its skin smoothing and rejuvenating properties, Aloe Vera has almost the same ph as the skin and is generally believed to be hypoallergenic to most individuals because of this. References of aloe can be found in the Bible, as well as other ancient texts. According to ancient records and data, it has been used for at least 3,000 years.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: A fairly recent discovery of the mid 20th century (1951), Alpha-Lipoic acid is part of the B complex family. The body makes up its own lipoic acid, but most is derived from food sources. Its most unique property is that it was found to be fat and water soluble. This unique quality makes it more effective in its antioxidant qualities since it can help provide free radical protection in both the watery (aqueous) and oily (lipid) part of cells. This two-fold nature had earned it the title of "ideal" or "universal" anti-oxidant. It may also have the capability of regenerating other anti-oxidants such as Vitamins C and E.
Bentonite Clay: Used in spas around the world as a soothing, rejuvenating facial mask, this clay is used to absorb oil and impurities, and help skin feel soft and smooth. Found all over the world, particularly in the US and Canada, this clay was initially a deposit of prehistoric volcanic ash.
Coenzyme Q10: Also known as Ubiquinone, it derives from the same root word as 'ubiquitous,' meaning "found everywhere." Aptly named, CO Q10 is found in every cell of your body, and levels are reported to decrease with age. It is considered an antioxidant nutrient and has been found to help offer protection from free radicals.
Copper Peptide: Helps trigger the skin's own renewal process with rejuvenating effects.
DMAE: Dimethylaminoethanol, a relative newcomer on the beauty scene, promotes skin firmness. Mostly found in anti-aging lotions and creams. It can help improve overall tone of the skin while encouraging elasticity.
Papaya Enzyme: Derived from the fruit Carica papapya. It contains the enzyme papain and helps dissolve the proteins in dead skin through the process of digestion. The exfoliation process exposes a newer, younger layer of skin.
Glycolic Acid: Derived from sugarcane, it is used as an exfoliant and is related to alpha-hydroxy acid in its action. Often added to cosmetic products to control the acid and alkali balance.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Found in the body, Hyaluronic Acid is used to lubricate joints and cushion other parts such as the skin. It's used in topically applied rejuvenating products to increase the skin's moisture, volume and fullness. It is capable of absorbing and retaining water over 1,000 times its weight.
Idebenone: Idebenone is pronounced (eye-deb-eh-known). A relatively new discovery in the beauty and anti-aging industry, Idebenone is an organic compound reputed to have superior anti-oxidant properties very similar to that of Coenzyme Q10. It is actually the bioengineered variation of Coenzyme Q10. It acts as a protector against free radicals. Due to production costs, it tends to cost a bit more than other beauty ingredients. However, a demand continues to exist because of its reputation for anti-aging and brightening properties.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Oil is distilled from the tops of flowering lavender plants. Generally added to products as a perfume, it is found in soaps, perfumes and topical skin preparations. Also, according to the long standing practice of aromatherapy, the scent is also believed to soothe stress.
Matrixyl 3000: Best known to help reduce wrinkle depth. Matrixyl 3000 differs from Matrixyl in that Matrixyl 3000 is made up of both Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide (Matrixyl only has one peptide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide). An essential function of Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is that it enhances the production of collagen, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide combines with other ingredients to optimize the environment to stimulate collagen production. Matrixyl 3000 is renowned in the anti-aging industry for its wrinkle reducing properties, along with improving skin tone and helping to reduce roughness.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A naturally occurring B vitamin found in various plants including sweet birch and wintergreen leaves. It can also be created synthetically through a process of heating phenol and carbon dioxide. It is used for a number of purposes, including its antimicrobial action in preserving products. It is also used to slough the skin, aiding with acne and wrinkled skin.
Shea Butter: An emollient plant lipid. The fruit of the karaite tree in the Savannah region of West Africa produces a rich, luxurious moisturizing fat. The fruit is crushed and boiled until it resembles an ivory or yellow colored cream. It's widely used in lotions, creams, hair conditioners and lipsticks.
Vitamin A: Used for its moisturizing properties.
Vitamin C: Also known as Ascorbic Acid, it is especially used in anti-wrinkle creams and serums. It's valued for its ability to act as a preservative and antioxidant protection. Depending on the type of product, it comes in several forms, such as a powder or cream.
Vitamin E: Also known as Alpha Tocopherol, is derived from vegetable oils. It's used as a moisturizing antioxidant.
Zinc Oxide: Widely used for numerous beauty products, zinc oxide is used in: blush, shaving creams, light and white eye shadows, powders, cosmetics, antiperspirants and depilitories. It is also used in foundations and dusting powders for its opaque qualities.Acne/oily skin is identified as skin with oily areas, pronounced shininess in the T-zone, breakouts, and pores that may be clogged and enlarged. The oiliness can cause makeup to fade prematurely. Finding the right balance is key to this skincare routine.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have acne or oily skin, you will need products that control oil, hydrate without added oil, and protect your skin.
Cleanse skin both day and night with a mild sudsy or gel cleanser. Use a toner to wipe of residual dirt and soap, and finally follow with a light moisturizer with SPF for the day. Use a product that is mild and light; many times the packaging will indicate that it is non-comedegenic or non-acnegenic. Products formulated specifically for acne/oily skin condition should be suitable for use. There are a variety of products on the market that contain ingredients for mild to severe acne/oily conditions. You will want to purchase a skincare line that fits the level of your skin's needs. Sensitive individuals may want to avoid the risk of irritation by choosing fragrance-free products.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Exfoliate once or twice per week. This will assist with cell turnover and will expose the healthy skin underneath. Over-exfoliating or exfoliating with harsh ingredients can irritate skin and possibly cause further breakouts, so stick with a product that has micro beads or exfoliating ingredients.
Use a weekly mask to help cleanse and tighten pores. Masks made with clay effectively absorb excess oil and are highly recommended and essential to controlling an oily complexion. Finally use a spot treatment as needed during the day or night. If skin becomes flaky or irritated, decrease the frequency of use. One final note: Choose your cosmetics and hair care products wisely. Many can be contributors of skin flare-ups.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Acne/Oily Skin:
Alphahydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydroxyl Acid, Clay, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Vitamin A, Retinol (a form of Vitamin A), Vitamin C, Clay
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Dry Skin:
Hyalauronic Acid, Glycerin, Lanolin, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Oil (Of Jojoba, Olive, Apricot Seed, Avocado, Grapeseed Borage, Almond, Evening Primrose), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Honey, Shea Butter, Argan, Baobab, Manuka Honey, Green Tea (Camilla Sinsnsis), Ceramide, Glycolic Acid, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cucumber
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have sensitive skin, you will need products that calm and soothe, as well as restore moisture. You will want to select products that are specifically formulated for sensitive skin and are free of harsh, synthetic and fragranced ingredients.
Begin with an ultra mild cleanser. Cream cleansers work well with sensitive skin. Follow with a toner that is free of alcohol to refresh and balance the pH of your skin. An optional serum and a delicate cream with an SPF will protect your skin during the day. A night cream can be slightly heavier, but should be just as gentle to the skin as the day cream. An eye moisturizer is optional, but recommended for skin that may be showing signs of aging.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
It is optional to use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This can also be beneficial if your sensitive skin is prone to occasional breakouts. Exfoliating maximizes the effectiveness of your skin care products.
A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump sensitive skin if it becomes dry and dehydrated.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Sensitive Skin:
Chamomile, Aloe Vera, Green Tea, Cucumber, Jojoba Oil, Glycerin Colloidal Oatmeal
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your finger tips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.
Free Radical Protection
Free radicals are associated with slow cell turnover, which causes the appearance of aging. They are unstable molecules that have an uneven amount of electrons in their outer ring, so they look for an electron elsewhere in order to stabilize. When the electrons pick up atoms indiscriminately, they become secondary free radicals, setting up a chain reaction which causes damage on a cellular level. While it's a normal process in everyone's body, free radicals speed up the appearance of aging.
Environmental pollutants and sun exposure cause additional free radical damage to skin cells. The best line of defense is to eat a healthy diet abundant with fruits and vegetables, limit your exposure to tobacco and sun, and moderate your alcohol intake.
Antioxidants inhibit the activity of free radicals and therefore slow the aging process. Extracted from roots, stems, leaves, fruits and vegetables, antioxidants can be taken internally or applied externally via cosmetic and skin care products. The most common antioxidant compounds are polyphenols, flavonoids, flavonols, pycnogenols and carotenoids.
Sun Protection
SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor. The Sun Protection Factor in products can range from 2-60, referring to its level of ability to block the sun's rays. Many variables should be considered when determining the level that is right for you. They include duration of exposure, time of day, season, activities you're doing, geographic location/altitude, prescription drugs that could leave you more susceptible to exposure, and your own skin's predisposition.
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are both considered to be physical sunscreens or sunblocks, as they protect against both UVA and UVB radiation. UVA and UVB represent different waves on the electromagnetic spectrum of ultraviolet (UV) light. While UVB can cause sunburn and damage to the eyes, UVA can cause long term damage to the skin.
Look for products that offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are especially intense during the summer and UVA rays are present year round. Exposure to UV rays can also increase your risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
There are two basic types of sunscreens/sunblocks. Depending on their ingredients, they work to either reflect or absorb the sun's rays. Inorganic particles like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide create a physical barrier to block out the rays, whereas organic particles absorb UV rays and release the energy as heat.
Both sunblock and sunscreen are similar in use, but are slightly different in their protective abilities. Sunblock is more opaque and therefore protects more from UVA/UVB and radiation. Sunscreen tends to be more transparent and therefore needs to be reapplied more often. For this reason, it is recommended to choose a higher SPF since its ingredients break down more rapidly than sunblock.
It's important to protect your face from the sun's harmful rays on a daily basis. Sun exposure is reflected and intensified by the pavement, snow, water and sand. Higher SPF is recommended for higher elevations and locations closer to the equator. It is also recommended to wear an SPF of 15 or higher regardless of your activity or weather condition.
Increase the SPF when your sun exposure peaks, such as in the summer or during vacations. Apply sunscreen/sunblock according to its directions. Most directions indicate applying approximately one ounce of sunscreen at least 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Make sure to reapply at least every two hours throughout your exposure, especially after perspiring, toweling or swimming.
Be particularly cautious between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Limit your exposure outside, wear sunscreen, and spend time indoors or in the shade under an umbrella/structure.
Even if you're not spending significant time outside, it's important to wear products with SPF to protect your skin. Choose a day moisturizer with an SPF in order to keep your skin moisturized while providing sun protection. This will help protect you from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer have at least 15-20 SPF. If you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
Why Restore?
Refresh your skin with a hydrating serum or moisturizing spray. Both serums and sprays will support your moisturizer, adding a boost to quench your skin's thirst. With its high water content, sprays can be used to set makeup and add moisture to the top layers of skin when you need it. They're great for airplane flights, when living in dry conditions, or for midday refreshers.
What is a Serum?
Deciding to use a serum can depend on various factors including skin type, age or degree of damage. They are able to effectively penetrate the layers of skin, delivering active ingredients for maximum benefit. Depending on ingredients, serums contain anti-aging properties that serve to firm, tighten, provide anti-oxidant protection, re-texturize, or slow the signs of aging. If you decide to use a serum with your moisturizer, select one with the ingredients or benefits associated with the concerns you wish to address.
How to Restore with a Spray or Serum
Apply to a freshly cleansed face after your toner and/or exfoliator. Once your application of serum has been absorbed (approximately five minutes), simply apply an ample layer of moisturizer. You can also use a refreshing spray during the day, between moisturizer applications.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
The key to maintaining normal skin is to adhere to a regular beauty regimen. Use a cleanser both day and night for normal skin types. A mild toner is recommended to remove remaining traces of soap and dirt. Use a lightweight lotion or cream with an SPF after you wash.
Depending on your age, environment or skin needs, try a serum as a base for your moisturizer. If you live in a cold or particularly arid environment, a serum may be just the right addition to your regimen. Choose a lighter lotion or heavier cream based on your skin's response to each. If your skin feels too greasy after a cream, try a lotion. Conversely, if your skin feels tight or lacks moisture, try a heavier lotion or cream.
Weekly Skin Care Routine:
A mild exfoliator will help remove the top skin cells and allow your face to glow with fresh skin. You can offset any occasional or seasonal oiliness or dryness with a clay or moisturizing mask.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Normal Skin:
Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Jojoba Oil, Lavender, Chamomile, Aloe Vera
When skin ages, its collagen and elastin are produced more slowly. This causes gradual changes like hyperpigmentation, discoloration, dryness, sagging, wrinkles, crepe-like folds, loss of muscle tone, textural unevenness and loss of elasticity.
The topical application of key skin firming ingredients works synergistically to protect and strengthen the skin. Skin care products should have a combination of naturally occurring active ingredients. They will contain compounds to protect which will likely be in the form of extracts containing antioxidants. Another set of ingredients will firm the skin by penetrating through its seven layers to support the collagen process at a cellular level.
Skin firming creams are usually formulated as night creams. They tend to be richer, thicker and more emollient and should be able to stay on long enough to absorb for maximum benefits. In general, face creams are designed to minimize lines/wrinkles, improve skin density, firm, plump and decrease puffiness (especially in the eye area).
Many manufacturers describe their product as a "cocktail" of ingredients that work together to decrease the effects of aging. Skin firming and anti-aging ingredients often include antioxidants, minerals, seaweed, herb extracts and different kinds of oils like Vitamins A and E. Other ingredients attributed to having a firming effect on the skin include green tea, aloe vera, beech bud extract, alpha lipoic acids, shea butter, hyaluronic acid and the very exotic sounding emu oil.

London Premiere – 11 October
Monday 11th October saw the gala premiere of the film at Cineworld in the West End. A packed house demonstrated huge enthusiasm for the film, which included a lively Q&A featuring lead actor Rawiri Paratene and director Rosemary Riddell. UK producer Pip Piper said of the evening:
"The London premiere was amazing for many reasons, firstly here was the film we have all been apart of for so many years up on the big screen in the west end! to boot it was exactly the same cinema and screen we all sat in 8 years ago to see the "whale rider" premiere at which we discussed making the insatiable moon. A capacity crowd with great audience reactions, full of laughter and solemn silence and a lively and very positive Q and A afterwards"
Pip Piper: UK producer, blue hippo media
Some comments from those who attended:
It was great to be there, great to see the film in a foreign land and to see how a powerful story can cross borders
It is a beautiful film, emotive and Inspiring
It was an extraordinary movie and one that left me deeply moved, it was a good 30 minutes after I left the cinema before I felt capable of trying to string a few words together. Clearly it's a great story, and it was superbly shot and acted.
The Insatiable Moon is a great movie, very entertaining but challenging on the issue of community care of vulnerable people. It deserves many awards.
I was impressed, you should be proud of yourselves
What a triumph! We loved the movie; poignant, moving. And I hope it gets the broadcast it deserves. There can't be many film premieres that finish up with a deep discussion on mental health issues, the meaning of life, spirituality, a person with mental health issues in a gold suit and all washed down with a Maori blessing.
Birmingham Premiere – 18 October
The film was screened to another full house, a great and eclectic group of people, who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Sponsored by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, the evening started with drinks in the bar and concluded with another superb Q&A session. Once again the feedback about the film was ecstatic. One audience member wrote:
"I was in the audience last night so it was a double pleasure of seeing a wonderfully moving film and having the chance to hear the writer, director, and lead actor talk about the film. While I think the generaI public can enjoy this film as they would with any entertaining film, I kept thinking how good it was that this film has such a strong message to our humanity. On my way home, I found myself smiling at a stranger who was eating alone, sitting at the window of a food restaurant and really made a connection with him. There should be an Arthur in all our lives."

This Easter Christians have an opportunity to reflect on the message of Christ's redemption and commit to putting their faith into action by tackling the injustices that keep many millions of people from a life lived in all its fullness. In the past, people of faith have been seminal in bringing about social change.
These days we don't exactly dwell on the brutal symbolism of burning Guy Fawkes in effigy, but it still creeps into my mind that modern "family-friendly" Bonfire Nights still have a tinge of the manic wildness of popular revelry as well as the dire retributive violence of the state confronted by a threat.
Ahead of the first anniversary of his papacy, it's a good time to review the Pope's handling of the child abuse crisis, which so plagued the papacy of his predecessor. Few would dispute that clerical child abuse was the most pressing issue, given that his predecessor's lamentable performance on this was widely thought to be the main reason that a papal election took place.

As of today, RealClearPolitics.com is showing 210 House seats likely or leaning Republican, and 39 seats rated as tossups. Of those 39 seats, 37 are held by Democrats, 2 by Republicans. I expect that most of those tossup seats are going to go Republican--and I suspect some of the "lean Democrat" seats are actually going to go Republican as well, because of a shortage of recent polls in districts that are considered so traditionally Democrat that no one is taking the Republican challenger seriously. As an example, ID-1, held by Walt Minnick is considered "Likely Democrat"--but the race is, I think, a bit closer than that.
UPDATE: As of October 11, they are now showing 211 House seats likely or leaning Republican, and 39 states tossups.

I will be stunned if the number that goes for the Republicans is not twice that number.

Lets hope so, but be careful of the game of overtalking GOP chances so that the media can then spin the actual number of seats taken as some sort of Democratic victory even when they lose the House.

alternatives to pesticides - plant disease - scab
Scab is a name given to several fungus diseases. One infects apple and other fruit trees, another infects cucumbers and yet another can infect potatoes. On fruit trees, scab generally appears first on the undersides of the leaves as pale yellow spots that gradually darken until they are nearly black. Leaves may have numerous scab spots and become distorted. The scab fungus over winters on the fallen infected leaves, producing spores in spring. The spores are wind borne and infect the young leaves and fruit during periods of rain. Warm rainy weather is ideal for scab.
For potatoes, scab is particularly severe in alkaline soils and usually worse in dry soil. Avoid using lime, fresh manure or wood ashes on your potato beds, as these will increase the alkalinity. If potato scab has been a problem, you should practice a three- to five-year crop rotation schedule; always plant resistant varieties of potatoes and apples.
Physical control
Because the fruit tree fungus spends the winter on fallen infected leaves, rake them up carefully and dispose of them. Careful pruning for good air circulation creates a less favorable environment for the spread of scab.
Least-toxic chemical control
Dormant lime sulfur sprayed on the fruit trees during the winter will help control it. In the spring, if your plants are in serious trouble, continue using lime-sulfur spray or wettable sulfur

Girls especially have trouble looking for an outfit each morning. Uniforms would eliminate that hassle. Also, girls wouldnt violate dress code. Boys and girls wouldnt worry about wearing gang associated colors. The price of uniforms would be worth it because it would be cheaper than buying new clothes for school every year and for high school students the uniform would most likely be used throughout all four years.
Self expression should not have to be used through clothing but through how you do in school. Uniforms create a unified working area. I think it's good to be able to feel professional while not getting stared at school. If you wear uniforms it's going to take less time in the morning to get ready which I can say from experience is very helpful. Coming from an academy we have to wear a tailored skirt and a white or blue polo with our school logo on it.
Not only because of the fact that it will decrease bullying but because of the fact that many young adolescences are worried about style and what other people think about them. By wearing the same uniforms everyday people will not worry about what they wear or about what other people wear.
I'm a student and uniform is so much easier. When we have dress down days, as terrible as it is sometimes I put little effort into homework so i can find the perfect outfit. If I had to do that everyday it would be really hard. I know for sure i'm not the only teen that does this. Besides that if i had uniform i know i would never save. Even as it is with me wearing uniform i still shop a lot so people don't see me in the same outfit twice...
Know I sound shallow but its so true
I think this because it keeps equality. There are many students who dont have good dresses so other people who have good dresses tease or say something bad about them, even it looks good when every one wear same dress neither different dresses. This is my opinion about "why students should wear uniforms."
Kids can fit in better and not be criticized for something stupid like clothes, and kids wont dress inappropriate nor will they make fun of others for not dressing the same as them and no one will know what you have/ own or where you live. I think we can all agree to this
Yes, they should be wear school uniforms because they don't have to get picked on for what they are wearing. They don't have spend their time in the morning picking and choose different clothes every day. They can also represent the school by wearing uniforms the are told to wear. Also the dress code can good because they wont wear bad thing, such as little shorts and more. Also the colors they are wearing such as gangs and more
They could stop the whole popular clothes argument. I know people want there own style but if it comes to bullying we all want it to be stoped!! So if kids are dressing with shorty shorts and short skirts then that can be fixed with everyone wearing the same thing.. So plz everyone just agree with me.
Because you would no longer have to worry about what to wear and how to look. People always laugh at my friend and say she looks ugly and I don't like that. If you're wearing the same thing as everyone else including the bully they will look at you with the same outfit and no longer pick on you.
I think that we should have to wear uniforms to school because it saves ALOT of time!! I do not want to have to sit and look in my closet to try and figure out what to wear. Uniforms make everything simple and easy! Who cares about self expression??! Isn't that why we have art class??!
Uniforms take away a student's freedom. Uniforms can sometime be expensive. Making a student wear a uniform does not let him show his individuality. Uniforms take away from a student's personality. A uniforms show or teaches students that everyone should be equal, when in reality everyone's different. Not having to wear a uniform shows how different or unique a student is. So therefore students should not have to wear a uniform.
Uniforms can be very expensive and if you are required to wear one and you don't, you can get detention. At a detention by law you need a teacher to stay at school for an extra hour. This takes away time from the teacher getting family time or teacher marking important test or projects. Clothing is a type of art and I don't think you should take it away.
I don't think students should have to wear uniforms because as a student, I know that clothes help me feel good and be comfortable at school. I think clothes actually do help students learn because if I was forced to wear a uniform, I would not feel comfortable in class. I also think students should have the capability of expressing themselves through style.
It take away their voice in what they can wear takes away the freedom of having a different outfit every day.
•Since school dress code affects children from expressing themselves, therefore they indulge into less desirable forms of expression like piercing and tattooing which badly affects the school environment. Students feel that they have been turned into robots without the ability to express themselves in a society which promotes individuality and self-expression.
•Enforcing rules about school dress code is a bit difficult task
•Schools should be a place where diversity should be celebrated
•School dress code may affect the comfort level of child attending school
•Child's individuality gets affected with school dress code system
•A child in uniform may become a soft target for bullying by students of another school
•Cost of school uniform may affect the budget of certain families. It acts as an added expenditure since you can't wear your regular clothes to school
•Families fear that school dress may interfere with religious clothing like yarmulkes
•There will be no compulsion for following dress code. People will have personal takes on dressing. If dress code does not adhere, it could lead to lifestyle issue
•School uniforms can get boring and mundane. Wearing same clothes, same colors everyday can turn out to be a boring affair for anyone. Lack of colors and apparels can prove very depressing
•School dress code can have derogatory interpretations. Remember sexy school girl concept. Uniform can bear such negative impacts on adolescents thus causing more corruption in their minds
•Student attendance improves
•Uniforms can be reused and recycled
•School dress code promotes more studious environment
•School costs less comparatively
•Kids freely concentrates on lessons/chapters
•School dress code promotes reduction in violence in schools
•Students take less time in getting ready for school in morning
•Students experiences less burden in deciding what to wear for school every morning
•Social conflict also gets reduced as students are no more judged by police
•School dress code reduces distractions for students
•School dress code helps in recognizing those who do not belong to campus
•With school dress code, students develop team spirit in an easy way. Wearing specific colors promotes sense of unity among students.
•School uniforms helps in avoiding development of inferiority and superiority complex among students. Also school dress code avoids silly psychological issues. Students will not be known by what they wear, but by how they perform in school
Kids should not wear uniforms in school because if you're in gym, you could get all sweaty and uncomfortable. Especially if your parents work, they will probably be to tired to wash uniforms after work every single day so I think it is wrong for kids to have to wear school uniforms. Say no to uniforms! Thank you for letting me put my opinion. I am in fifth grade. I am 10 years old. Thank you again. :)
Kids wearing a uniform will make them all be the same, as a result not letting one show their true character and self-colors. Also uniforms cost money which all families may not be able to provide financially. Therefore kids should be able to wear what they want at only the cost of what their clothes cost.
It usually cost way too much for uniforms. I mean yes it helps with the fact that girls dress more provocative. And the fact that boys are sagging. But it doesn't let them express themselves. And their personalities. Isn't that the point of having so many different looking clothes?
Some teachers don't have to wear them, and because it causes problems when shopping for uniforms.
It would be better if we didn't because it's better for students for there personality,and it's much better for the parents, not having to pay money for pairs of uniforms
I believe that students do not have to wear uniforms. Uniforms take away our individuality. Trust is much more difficult to achieve while wearing a uniform. Wearing them may obtain a distraction during the day. Some schools say that uniforms that unites us as a school, but I do not think another thing that bothered students. Simple rules instead of a uniform could easily be put in place.
Students should not have to wear uniforms, it takes away one of the best ways we as the human race no how to express ourselves and everyone should have that right. We should not teach kids that they must be physically equal in appearance to be fair. It is not a fact that is true to life.

He isn't going near full sticks anywhere else in the video while close enough to get a good look at the cut. Maybe it's alright with you to do butcher work, but for those of us who depend on doing this for our income, we have more to think about than just bragging about having the fastest or strongest mower on some forum. We need to give the best we can or run the risk of losing an account to someone else in a time when LCO's are everywhere now.
Apparently you have no idea of what I believe, so don't put words into my mouth. You are arrogant in the extreme sometimes. The guy from Hustler sends me a reply with what they recommend, I post it, and now it's my fault that they happen to agree with me and not you?
If you want to mow your grass at full sticks, be my guest, but it doesn't make you right. Some guys have grass that they can geta way with it on, soome don't.
You simply can't tell everyone here that it's ok with no caveat included about grass type or condition.
I can drive 120 mph on the ice too. It doesn't mean it's the best thing to do.
You've never heard me tell everyone they could go out and cut grass at 15 mph, but I have said you can cut grass in the right conditions that fast, and some have chimed in and said they did the same.
I think you can look back, and I feel assured anyone reading this that knows me has heard me say many times that I can cut grass at top speed because of being on relatively smooth terrain, and having stiff blade dryer type southern grasses to cut. I have always advocated that northern limp blade grasses are much more difficult to get a clean cut on, and you can find statements I've made that if cutting much above 3" the XR-7 Hustler deck would not give a clean cut in northern grasses at any speed.
I have also said that the Exmark Ultra Cut deck performed best in northern grass due to its more powerful suction, but you would be forced to scrape the deck more often than a deck such as the Scag Velocity Plus deck with its hybrid tunnel design.
Now, for you to say that it is impossible to cut grass at 15 mph due to your calculations showing a lack of blade tip speed may be correct as you saw it on paper, but you cannot disregard the fact that several besides myself in this thread, and many more throughout LawnSite have stated they do cut grass at those fast speeds.
So now, if you will concede that yes, it is possible to cut grass in the right conditions at 15 mph, and your calculations may not be exact in a real world cutting scenario, I will concede that I agree with you.

**gussy sews giveaway still open below**
random note- stephaniehowell.com was finally open for purchase so i snatched it up!
you can now access my blog by typing www.stephaniehowell.com !!! of course, the typepad link still works as well :)
now, for today's craftiness...
last week i was staring at some pretty vintage pink chenille stems that a friend gave me, thinking i wanted to use them for something.
i came up with this simple diy and thought some of you might enjoy it.
supplies: heart punch,vintage book,vintage chenille stems, assortment of buttons and sequins, various floral centers,glue dots
punch hearts from book pages. punching two-three pages at a time actually minimized the tearing, as old pages tear SO easily!
you might want to sharpen your punch first by punching some foi
layer hearts until you are happy with the results. i used glue dots to stick them together, but you have to be VERY careful as the paper rips so easily. you can see i made a boo boo on the "petal" to the left. hehe!
adhere button or floral center to center of blossom:
adhere blossom to chenille stem:
for one stem, i simply stuck hearts at random intervals. it's more of a "sprig".
display flowers...i prefer milk glass of course. i just think these add a sweet little vignette to my craft room!

HENDERSONVILLE — Wilson Central quarterback Jordan Roundtree
threw two interceptions, one in each half, that led to Hendersonville touchdowns as the Commandos took the season opener between the District 9-AAA teams 28-14 Friday night.
"We played well for a while," Wildcat coach Brad Dedman said. "We told them that small things would win this game and we made too many mistakes with penalties and turnovers
to win."
Hendersonville opened the scoring on a short field beginning at the Wildcat
38-yard line. The drive stalled and Bryce DeGuira was called on to attempt
a 40-yard field goal. The kick was good but a roughing-the-kicker penalty gave the ball to the Commandos at the 12-yard line. Hendersonville
scored on a run by Cameron Turner and the score was 7-0.
Wilson Central struck back as Roundtree found Alex Price racing down
the seam for a 72-yard touchdown only 21 seconds after the Commandos had
scored for a 7-7 tie.
On Wilson Central's next drive Roundtree found Price again for a 40-yard gain, but the play was wiped out on a unsportsmanlike call against the Wildcats. Later in the drive, Roundtree scrambled and heaved one up that was intercepted by Braden Schwerdt.
Hendersonville took over at its own 13-yard line and went on an eight-play, 87-yard drive capped by a 40-yard toss by Jeremias Elston to Justin Orr.
Before the end of the half, the Wildcats answered on an eight-play, 80-yard
drive capped by a 4-yard run by Kaleb Butler that tied the score at 14-14.
More than halfway into the third quarter, the Commandos went in front for good
on a short plunge by Anthony Tate, the first of his two in the second half. The key play was a 56-yard run by Corey Jones.
Almost five minutes into the final stanza, Tate scored again from 24 yards out for the final margin. The score was set up by an interception by Morgan Nappier.
Wilson Central took the ball over near midfield but could not do anything offensively.
Hendersonville took over made a few first downs and capped the win with a 40-yard
run by Turner.
Wilson Central will go to LaVergne next Friday night for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Jake Sigal is founder and CEO of Livio, a Ferndale-based start-up that Ford recently acquired. / Mandi Wright/Detroit Free Press
Jake Sigal
Title: CEO of Livio, a start-up company in Ferndale now owned by Ford
Age: 32
Education: Ohio University and self-honed entrepreneurial skills.
Why he won: Jake had the courage to quit a comfortable job and start his own venture during a recession. His new company anticipated the rapid changes coming with in-vehicle entertainment.
Jake Sigal, founder and CEO of Livio, has emerged as a wunderkind who rode the Internet radio wave to public awareness and capped 2013 by selling his technology start-up to Ford while keeping such high-profile clients as General Motors.
The winner of the Free Press Automotive Leadership Award in the up-and-coming category has been able to support his community, create jobs and preserve a jeans and T-shirt culture even after he sold his business to Ford.
Sigal said he loves being an entrepreneur and showing the value a small company can bring to the auto industry.
The 32-year-old created Livio in a guest bedroom of his Ferndale home in January 2008. Today there is a staff of 12 engineers and software developers with plans to add six people this year.
The sale agreement with Ford preserves Livios lab days once a month when the staff tests new technologies and learns from experiments that fail 80% of the time.
But a lot of products came from it, Sigal said. It is what makes our engineering group so awesome.
Sigal got his big break in 2006 after meeting executives from Pandora the Internet radio company. He made a strong enough impression for Livio to secure a contract to make Pandora-branded radios.
As Pandora evolved to stream music through smartphones, Livio evolved from a hardware company that sold aftermarket Bluetooth kits to a software company enabling smartphone users to stream phone apps through the car radio.
In September, Ford acquired Livio. Sigals team is working with Fords AppLink engineers on a standard for integrating apps that Ford will make available to the rest of the auto industry. Other automakers have expressed interest in a Ford-derived industry standard but nothing has been formally announced, Sigal said.
Creating a single technology for the industry to use frees automakers to spend their money on the traditional characteristics of vehicles: rise-and-handling, design, comfort and fuel economy.
The Livio team also is working on a product to diagnose problems a phone might experience in the vehicle.
Even though Ford is starting to install modems in new models to enable handheld devices to transmit data, Sigal sees room for both.
There is definitely a question in the industry whether people will keep connecting by phones or modem, he said. You still need a phone to make calls. The phone isnt going away anytime soon, so you need to be able to integrate it into the car.
There is a place for a modem, for example, in GMs OnStar system, which provides hard-wired connectivity for remote starts and unlocking of doors. And a modem will often work when a phone cant.

Installation View: NECKFACE "Drinking On The Job" @ New Image Art, LAJuxtapoz // Tuesday, August 26, 2014
This past weekend in LA at New Image Art, Neckface opened a brand new show entitled "Drinking on the Job." That said, the show had a few references to drinking, and the process of making the show came down to this: "Each piece is imagined and drafted in an impaired state, in the field, sometimes with little to no recollection of his sullied genius until the scrawled upon napkin is found the morning after."
NECKFACE "Drinking On The Job" @ New Image Art, LAJuxtapoz // Thursday, August 21, 2014
If there is anything you plan on doing this weekend in Los Angeles, make sure going to the opening of Nasty Neckface's new show, "Drinking on the Job," at New Image Art Gallery on Friday, August 22nd, 2014. If you are going to kick off a Fall season with a new show, you might as well go Neckface, go dirty, go raunchy, go funny, go ironic, and literally go drinking. According to New Image, "Working days and nights, the artist adhered to a strict creative process shrouded in the lighthearted but gloomy atmosphere akin to bars and pubs." There you go.

My girlfriend works as a school teacher, and as she takes a long time in correcting compositions I want to ask a question about homeworks correction. Is there any appropriate network/site here on Stack Exchange?
Writers might consider this on-topic, depending on how the question is formatted:
The only suitable place I found to make this question was the Personal Productivity site, where I asked this: How to spend less time in compositions correction? which seems to get some answers.

Your father did indeed 'purposefully' buy them. Nobody randomly just puts out a bid to get the bidding started at an auction.

On this live-stream, I interview panelists from both marketing and non marketing backgrounds to dig into deeper truths about the core principles about online marketing.
So far we've covered Professional Networking and Digital Storytelling and have changed the way our viewers have perceived both subjects.
Tired of the same old online marketing advice?
Back in January of 2012, I launched a show called "Inside the Mind" which offered expert-level advice on online marketing, packaged with Internet-generation humor and professional editing. (watch the pitch video, you'll see what I mean)
The primary goal:
Open source online marketing and make it fun and easy to learn. For example, We provided detailed lessons on
- How to create key performance indicators
- How to raise your prices
- How to Boost your guest blogging strategy
But this isn't your grandpa's online marketing advice.
We want to show you how to use the internet to get more traffic, leads, and sales and make you laugh while you're learning. (seriously, watch the video)
Season 2 Won't Just Be a Show. It'll be an Experience.With Season 2, we want to increase the production values of the show by 10 billion percent.

Feedback on Season 1
>>But that's not all!<<Something else we've been working on in the off season is networking with different indie bands to bring a higher production values to the show's background sound and in-show skits.
Take Action, Get Rewarded
Not only do you get the benefit of improving your business - but if you register for our members site, we'll track your progress and give you bonus rewards.

- Platform specific strategy maps and other actionable downloads
"Geeze Tommy, $100,000 Seems Like An Awful Lot."
It is. There is no doubt about that, but what we're looking to do with Season 2 is make the information transcend beyond that of your standard web-series.
Shows like FilmRiot are produced to a higher standard, and we'd like to match (if not exceed) the quality of that production.
With that comes costs that aren't quite so obvious. Rigging like Camera Dollys, Jib Arms, and Industrial strength tripods can cost upwards of $$1,700 a piece.
The subtle movements of each one of these rigs, combined with the expertise of the professionals I'd like to bring on board, all make up a unspoken visual language we're used to seeing from "professional" productions.
Even if you don't know production, your eyes know the difference between a professional and hacked DIY production.
With the proper equipment and staff, we'll be able to make every episode into something more polished and visually compelling, which in turn will make the information easier to absorb.
Part of the budget is also allocated toward marketing of the show/network.
For those of you who choose the rewards tiers that allow your product or business to be featured in the episode, this means ongoing marketing for you at a fraction of the cost and no work on your end.
As for casual members, as the network expands, the more valuable your own personal network/expertise becomes. First generation users of the Inside The Mind network (Codename: Citizens of the Internet) will have a smaller private network to bounce ideas off of myself and guest speakers.
As the newer generations of users start joining in, older members can share their expertise thereby stregthening their own network & customer base.
Click Here To Download The Full Budget List
As A Backer, What's In It For You?
Starting at $50
You will have a access to private email consults with me.
In each email consult, I will answer any question you have regarding online marketing in no less than 1,000 words (but will do more if absolutely necessary)
Over the years I have curated a personal library of very valuable resources. This means I have sifted through garbage and cherry picked the best stuff so you don't have to.
In each consult email I will combine these resources with my own personal knowledge to help you overcome your current challenge.
It's like a mini course tailored specifically to helping you work through your challenge.
At $300
We up the ante a little. Your question becomes the premise of the episode.
When you combine this with (3) 1 on 1 emails, you'll be getting a private Q&A with resource library, expert level consulting within the episode, as well as additional exposure to the product or service.
As I market each episode in the initial push, I'll be subsequently marketing you.
In the longer term, video tends to rank really well in the search engines, and Youtube is the #2 search engine on the planet right now, so you'll get long term passive traffic in addition to the initial promotional push.
At $2,000
Things start to get really interesting. First, I'll send you my karaoke rendition of "Ice, Ice, Baby" which is always good for a laugh.
You will also receive (10) 1 on 1 email consults ( Remember Min 1,000 words tailored specificially to your needs)
As well as the Pre-roll sponsorship spot (this episode is brought to you by [Your Company Here]
At $5,000
You receive all of the above + access to my private group coaching ($10k value) where I'll get even more hands on with your online business and you'll be able to network with a smaller more private group of talented business individuals
Not only that, but you'll have an "in-show" advertisement promoting your business smack dab in the middle of the episode.
This ad/sketch will use similar humor to the show so it won't inturrupt the viewer's experience, but it will be very clearly advertorial but don't worry, you'll still have some input.
The in-show ads/scenes will use a similar format to improv shows like "Who's Line Is It Anyways?" (unfamilar? Click the link)
At $10,000 and Above
In addition to the "In show" commercial, private group coaching etc... my creative team will also produce a commercial for your own use complete with a marketing plan.
Higher tiers means we produce more videos.
Oh, and if you're wondering the caliber of the creators I'm planing on working with. Click Here and Here
Why Not Do It On The Cheap Like You Did Last Season?
The simple answer is, we can't.
Not if we want to stand a chance at improving the baseline for what free information is out there.
Last season, each episode took 95+ man hours to complete. This was because neither I nor my assistant editor are really filmmakers. Throughout much of the process, it was the half-blind (me) leading the blind (my assistant)
This left very little room for marketing, spending time with my family, or doing anything else that wasn't the show.
In order for the show to reach it's real goal of mainstreaming online marketing concepts, I have to take a more hands off approach on production and leave it in the hands of professional filmmakers.
While it might not seem like it watching one 3-6 minute episode at a time, by the time Season 1 had wrapped, we had produced over 2 hours worth of finished content - enough for a feature length film - and well over 44 hours of rough footage.
Without having professionals handle the production, we'll essentially be creating content for content's sake, but it won't go as far as it needs to to make the impact that is intended.
Beyond wanting to hire professionals to handle most of the production work, and wanting to actually have to to Market a show about Marketing (heh) I also think this space could benefit greatly from higher production values.
Like I was saying earlier, your eyes are tuned into a certain visual language that has been spoken through mediums like film and television. Even though you might not understand production, your eyes and your brain do. And they can tell the difference between professional and semi-professional DIY production.
By increasing the production values of the show, I'm trying to turn the volume down on that sublimial part of you brain that says "well it's just a youtube video, so I don't really have to pay full attention"
I believe that level of production is what will help move the show beyond the "audience who wants to know online marketing". This level of polish is often the missing piece that many marketing "clients" need to make the information sink in and make sense.
Many of the items listed in the budget are tools that are used ever so subtly to add that level of polish that seperates the "guy with a camera" from a "filmmaker"
We want to reduce the friction to learning as much as possible, and have time to actually spend getting the show out there. So what that really all boils down to is better gear and the right people to operate it.
If you're looking to make better videos, this is your chance to be trained in real time by professionals who have worked in New York studios and Hollywood sets. We're going to be LiveStreaming what happens on set, as well as the editor when he's cutting the episodes together.
It's online marketing and film production training all in one!
P.s Why are we doing this?I believe much of the information about online marketing should be liberated. Not only that, but it should be fun to learn. Too many small and medium sized business out there have either:
Thank you again for your support. Let's flip online marketing on its head!

My study taught me what many pet owners and veterinarians don't realize—that heartworm infection leaves lasting damage and affects patients' health and quality of life long after the parasites themselves are gone. These serious and lasting changes occur in dogs that have been treated as well as in cats that have eliminated heartworms on their own.
I became president of AHS during the 14th Triennial Heartworm Symposium in September of 2013. During that meeting, we gained a number of new insights into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Dirofilaria immitis infection, which prompted a revision of AHS' canine and feline guidelines. Highlights include:
We continue to learn more about heartworm disease every day, but we have known for a long time is that it is one of the most common—and preventable—diseases that threatens our patients. By keeping up-to-date on the disease, educating clients, and recommending year-round prevention, we can make a difference. Download the revised guidelines at heartwormsociety.org/veterinary-resources/canine-guidelines.html.

A 77-year-old man committed suicide by jumping from the top of the York Hospital parking garage on Sunday afternoon, according to the York County Coroner's Office.
His death was the second suicide committed at the parking garage this month.
A passing motorist saw the man jumping and called 911, according to the coroner's office.
The man was pronounced dead at 4:10 p.m. and cause of death was blunt force trauma, according to the coroner's office.
The victim was not a WellSpan employee or a patient at York Hospital, said Barry Sparks, spokesman for WellSpan.
"Based on this tragedy and a similar incident earlier this month, York Hospital leadership will review all options to prevent such circumstances in the future," Sparks said.
York Hospital security officers are now patrolling the parking garage 24 hours a day, seven days a week, he said.
There is no charge to park in the garage, and it is for visitors and some employees.
Sparks said that he is not aware of any suicide attempts there prior to 2013.

You can purchase an ecopy of this book for $2 by clicking here!
The Gifford Street Press's second book, I Witness: Perspectives on Policing in the Near Westside, is available now. In a collection of stories and interviews, residents and police describe their day-to-day experiences.
"This book is a powerful reminder that truly seeing reality requires looking at it from many perspectives, some of which appear to be contradictory. Like the surveillance cameras looking down from on high, the police who answer calls in the neighborhood see the residents from a distance. The film from those cameras is only viewed after the fact, in case of a crime, and likewise the police react to Westsiders when a disturbance occurs, and may be unable to distinguish between victims and perpetrators and bystanders. Neighborhood residents have had varying experiences with the police, sometimes positive but just as often tinged with mistrust or outright antagonism. Regardless of those experiences, the police are outsiders, not living in the neighborhood nor wanting to. So it would be easy to fall into a categorization of Us vs. Them. But this collection of interviews helps us refract that."
-Introduction by the GSP editorial board
"Where are the ancestors? The people that live before us that can sit down and tell us how to be when we go out in the world? Because it's easy not to commit crime. If you love yourself you're not going to do something that's going to cause any other human to have authority over you."
-Mother Earth
"I'm walking with the first officer to go talk to some young lady based on a call, and we walk past a house and a stoop that has probably six guys on it, and at least like four of the six guys just spit off the stoop. They didn't hit the officer or anything like that, but they spit out, and the officer just hawks up a loogey and spits it right back on their property. Nothing was said. It was that mentality and that perception of, 'Oh, okay you're going to spit at me, then I'll give it right back to you.'"
-Maarten Jacobs
"When you're going on 15 calls a day, you're just call-to-call. You don't have time to just pull up on a block and say, 'Hey, what's going on guys? These people bothering you? What's going on around here?' You don't have time to do that."
-Officer Mooney
"My wife's got a grandson. He's ten years old. He loves cops, you know. He's always getting toy cop stuff. I am tempted to tell him what I think about cops, but I don't. I believe that there's a good chance he'll feel the same way about cops eventually, but I'm not going to try to influence him in any kind of negative way."

Season 1 Episode 2 Crimes of Passion
David Jacobs (guest star Noam Jenkins of Rookie Blue fame) is running for mayor. His motto is "I've Got Your Back." His wife, Grace, doesn't care for the campaign slogan. She also doesn't know that her husband is a killer. David murdered Tiffany Greenwood, the pretty 17-year-old girl who would always babysit his child. The question is… Why?
Angie is disturbed to see Tiffany's bloody body in the middle of the street. The victim was killed in a hit-and-run by a driver that was going at a high rate of speed in a custom car. Angie believes someone stole Tiffany's bag. David Jacobs is carrying a bag while anxiously leaving a parking structure on foot. He later shows up at the police station a bit more composed to support Tiffany's parents. He tells Angie that he's close with the family and had called Tiffany about a babysitting gig earlier. David is a former prosecutor who says he wants this young girl's killer caught.
We jump back in time to a day when Tiffany is babysitting for the Jacobs family. She invites her boyfriend, Kevin, over where they have sex on the sofa. Tiffany then breaks up with the guy. She's horrified to learn that the house has a nanny-cam. When her calls to Kevin go to voicemail, Tiffany hacks into David's laptop to find the video. She's horrified when she sees something she wasn't expecting. Tiffany swipes the laptop which David notices is missing after she leaves.
In the present day, Dr. Betty Rogers is surprised the windshield didn't break during the hit-and-run. This has Angie to believing the car may have been a racing car with unbreakable glass. This leads her to Tiffany's ex-boyfriend, Kevin. The guy is surprised to learn that Tiffany is dead. David is upset when Angie doubts Kevin is the killer because he doesn't have a motive. Nevertheless, Kevin is arrested. Angie checks out his car. She says the killer could have used a set of lock-pick keys called "jigglers" to steal it. Oscar is starting to buy into his partner's theory when they see that the car seat was adjusted for someone a lot shorter than Kevin.
Cell phone tracking records indicate that Kevin was likely at home during the time of the murder. Boyd gives the order to cut their prime suspect loose. When Kevin arrives home, he finds a package from Tiffany in the mail. It's a flash drive containing a video where David's panicky voice can be heard. In other news, Angie continues to search for Tiffany's missing bag. She also wants to know why David lied about calling Tiffany about a supposed babysitting gig. She's taking a lot of heat for her investigation. Prosecutor Donna Rivers asks to see all of her old case files.
Angie and Oscar stakeout Tiffany's funeral mass. They catch sight of Kevin confronting David about what he saw on the flash drive. The mayoral candidate scares the kid into turning over the file. Angie believes she needs to scare Kevin in order to get David to confess. Her plan works. David believes that Kevin is going to implicate him in exchange for immunity when he sees Rivers enter the box. Angie knows that the former prosecutor knows all about jigglers. He used a set to steal Kevin's car to frame him for the hit-and-run. David stole Tiffany's bag after he killed her. Angie still wants to know: Why?
David videotaped a sexual encounter with a prostitute. He made her don a blonde wig so she would look like Tiffany. The sex tape isn't enough to get a murder conviction, but the video Tiffany took of him trying to explain himself to her is. He claims that he's not a monster. That'll be up to a jury to decide. David is arrested for the murder of Tiffany Greenwood. Case closed.

Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto, abbreviated to GTA, is a video game series created by David Jones and Mike Dailly then later by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, and game designer Zachary Clarke. It is primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design) and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series is derived from "grand theft auto", a term referring to motor vehicle theft.
The series is set in fictional locales heavily modelled on American cities, while an expansion for the original was based in London. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth, and racing elements. The subject of the games is usually a comedic satire of American culture, but the series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.
Video game developer DMA Design began the series in 1997, and it currently has ten stand-alone games and four expansion packs. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label "Grand Theft Auto clone" on similar games. Subsequent titles would follow and build upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III. Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Michael Madsen, Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Danny Trejo, Gary Busey, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Penn, James Woods, Joe Pantoliano, Debi Mazar, Jenna Jameson, Frank Vincent, Robert Loggia, Ricky Gervais, Andy Dick, Debbie Harry, Kyle MacLachlan, Phil Collins and Peter Fonda. The series has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold more than 150 million units, as of September 2013.
