Incredibooths shares some tips on how to rent a long island photo booth.
Long Island Photo Booth Rental
Hicksville, NY (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
Thinking of renting a long island photo booth ? Most in search of the perfect photo booth are looking for the same basic requirements: a photo booth that looks good, fits the events look and feel and of course fits in the budget! By looking at what a photo booth rental company offers perspective clients can see which rental will fit best.
First, look at the photo booths themselves! A real photo booth should not be a few curtains draped over some piping! It should be a real photo booth – not open, not a camera on a tripod facing a background. However, wanting a genuine photo booth doesn’t mean the neighborhood arcade photo booth should be hauled in for an elegant wedding! Find a photo booth rental that works with the theme and the event – one that is not an eye soar and looks like it belongs at the movie theater. Above all else, don’t fall for the pipe and drape pitfall! Look for something modern and fun that will compliment your party and feel like it belongs! For an elegant wedding perhaps, Incredibooths offers a sleek all white photo booth called the Capture Cube.
Second, take a look at the company providing the rental. Are they a full time long island photo booth rental company? Do they have an office? Do they answer the phone? Are the responsive to emails? All of these should be clues you can use to determine if your working with a week-end warrior or a professional LI photo booth rental company. Also, in recent times many other event vendors have added photo booths as an additional service to another business such as photography or entertainment services. While some are able to do this well, most times the photo booth is just what it seems: a side part of a bigger business.
Last, ask about the features or options you can choose with your photo booth rental. Any modern photo booth should offer super fast printing (about 7-8 seconds per print), a touchscreen that activates the booth, the option to email or post pics to facebook, to get extra copies, customize the prints themselves and other fun add-ons like a photo scrapbook and props to add some excitement to the experience. Another big thing to look for here is that the company provides an attendant to operate and assist your guests for the entire rental period. If it’s a drop and go service you should look elsewhere.
These three basic points should assist in helping to make a great photo booth rental decision. As always more important than anything is to be comfortable – confident that the company chosen can deliver a photo booth as fabulous as the event itself! For more information on renting a photo booth contact Dennis Sea of Incredibooths for helpful tips, insights and of course great photo booth rentals!

Entertainment Industries Council Partners with Shire for Hollywood Creative Community Briefing on ADHD Storylines
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2011
The Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) through its Entertainment and Media Communication Institute (EMCI), in collaboration with Shire Pharmaceuticals, held a briefing yesterday hosted by Screen Actors Guild (SAG) to reveal the most recent developments on the nature and impact of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD for Storytellers, attended by approximately 40 members of Hollywood’s creative community, featured a panel of experts to help inspire characters and content depicting ADHD.
“In addition to being an important health issue for the public to better understand, ADHD also has strong potential as a rich source for character development and stories that have never been told before,” said Larry Deutchman, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Industry Relations at EIC. “We’re grateful to both Shire and SAG for stepping forward to be a part of this initiative.”
“We recognize at Shire that in order to make a real difference in the lives of patients and their families around understanding, accepting and managing ADHD symptoms, we need to think and act differently,” said Michael W. Skoien, Vice President of Patient and Customer Excellence at Shire Pharmaceuticals. “We believe the television and movie community can help to make a positive difference for individuals and families that deal with the issues and challenges of ADHD on a daily basis through accurate and realistic portrayals of characters and stories.”
“From its very inception, Screen Actors Guild has represented a diverse membership and has long advocated for non-discrimination, fair representation and inclusion. SAG is pleased to partner with EIC to further the mission of greater inclusion and accurate portrayals,” said Screen Actors Guild Hollywood Executive Director Ilyanne Morden Kichaven.
EIC distributed a publication entitled Picture This: ADHD to attendees of the briefing, which will also be available to members of the creative community at http://www.eiconline.org. The publication contains critical information provided by key experts, as well as depiction suggestions and resources for entertainment creators looking to integrate ADHD into storylines and characters.
About 40 members of the entertainment industry attended the ADHD for Storytellers briefing.

The panel of experts included: James McGough, M.D., a professor of clinical psychiatry at UCLA who serves as the director of clinical teaching programs in ADHD at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior as well as a member of the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders Board of Directors; award-winning filmmaker Chusy Jardine of Plan A Films; San Francisco Giants player Andres Torres, an active spokesperson for ADHD and the subject of Jardine’s latest documentary Gigante, which focuses on Torres’ struggle with ADHD; and Ana Romero, member of the Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) Board of Directors, who works to raise awareness of ADHD and its effects within the Hispanic/Latino community. The panel was moderated by Ilyanne Morden Kichaven, the Screen Actors Guild’s Hollywood Executive Director.
EIC, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1983 by leaders of the entertainment industry to bring the power of the industry to bear on public discourse regarding health and social issues. The organization is considered to be the chief pioneer of entertainment advocacy outreach and one of the premiere success stories in the field of entertainment education and information resources.

Media Release: Twitter’s Biz Stone: “Humor Is A Powerful Mechanism For Delivering Truth”
Trevose, PA (PRWEB) January 12, 2012
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone in an interview Tuesday suggested cultivating a fun work culture while keeping a healthy sense of humor – even as you work at changing the world.
“Humor is such a powerful mechanism for delivering truth,” said Stone during an interview with ASI Radio. “It’s a great leadership tool, a great way to break the ice, a great way to get people to tell you what they’re thinking about without it being scary or formal. Invariably, something true comes out of that.”
Stone, named one of the Most Influential People in The World by TIME magazine and Nerd of the Year by GQ magazine, shared business tips and dished on a visit from a Russian president and who would play him in a Twitter movie during a wide-ranging interview on ASI Radio, the on-air voice of the promotional products industry.
Stone, co-founder of micro-blogging site Twitter, did the interview in advance of a keynote he’s giving February 3 at an ASI trade show in Dallas titled “A New Landscape for Communicating and Doing Business.”
To listen to the entire radio interview, click here.
Stone said he worked for years before Twitter on the idea of an open exchange of information having a positive impact. “I saw a rudimentary tool and thought, ‘I could build something on this. Instead of one to one, one to many.’ And that was the beginning.”
His two biggest mistakes after co-founding Twitter with Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams were not being ready enough for success and failing to communicate enough. “If you want to have relationships outside, with investors or anyone, communicate like crazy,” he said on ASI Radio.
He got his first inkling of Twitter’s success at a 2006 South by Southwest festival when a guy at a crowded bar tweeted a new location – and by the time it took eight minutes to walk there, a line was out the door. “He’d done something that had never been done – organized people on the fly to move to a specific location. Suddenly, we had the flocking ability of birds moving in flight. I couldn’t think of any technology that allowed humans to do that. This was a party. What if it was a disaster?”
Stone predicts the blogosphere will get even bigger and more interesting in the next two years. “The blogosphere is changing fundamentally,” he said. “The idea of the blogosphere is now. I think you can expand the definition. Any page created on the Internet from Twitter to Instagram becomes part of the blogosphere.”
On corporate cultures, Stone likes it fun and team-oriented. “I like people to have autonomy. Be really creative. Be open to ideas. I don’t like people who say no right away. At Twitter we have a very fast-growing sales culture, but we’re also open to really new, crazy ideas. It’s an emergent phenomenon.”
Stone said he can’t imagine a “Twitter” movie and envisions the story of its founding instead as a “bad series on CW.” Rainn Wilson – the egomaniacal Dwight Schrute on “The Office” – once told Stone he could play him in a movie. Or, Stone said, “We could mix things up and make it Bill Cosby.”

Holiday Loneliness May Intensify Love and Sex Addictions Warns The Ranch Rehabilitation Center
Nunnelly, TN (PRWEB) December 20, 2011
For many people, the holidays are the highlight of the year. But for others, this time of year brings up emotions that can be difficult to manage. Faced with the feelings of loneliness and disappointment that sometimes accompany the holidays, men and women with love and sex addictions may feel more compelled to escape or act out, warn the sex addiction specialists at The Ranch rehabilitation center in Tennessee.
Holiday movies and songs depict the holidays as a time for being surrounded by loved ones. Individuals with sex and love addictions may feel a particularly strong longing to be connected with others or to be in a relationship, not necessarily for love but to avoid being alone. Romanticized visions of a kiss to ring in the New Year or receiving the perfect holiday gift from a love interest – which often are not played out in reality – can prompt reckless and harmful behaviors in those with sex and love addictions.
“The holidays can bring up unforeseen emotions that leave people feeling ‘less than,” said Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, the internationally known author, addiction specialist and educator who developed the men’s and women’s relationship and sex addiction programs at The Ranch. “As a result, those with addictions or emotional challenges may seek out a person or experience that makes them feel special, important and valued.”
As the holidays approach, people look forward to the break from routine and the time off school or work to finish projects and visit friends and family. But for addicts, unstructured time, particularly when spent alone, can be a trigger of its own. Rather than using the extra time constructively, sex and love addicts may become increasingly anxious. In a misguided effort to get their emotional needs met, they may begin fantasizing about and executing plans to fill their down time with anonymous hook-ups, affairs, serial dating and other harmful behaviors.
“Around this time of year, some sex and love addicts are faced with a dangerous combination of an urge to escape and more opportunities to engage in risky behaviors,” Weiss explained. “Heightened emotions, family dynamics and other factors make it a stressful time, which can be further complicated by an increase in unstructured free time.”
In addition to being a season for giving, the holidays are a season for receiving. Diets, budgets and rules get set aside just long enough to indulge in decadent treats, gift-buying and holiday parties.
“Normal reality is suspended during the holidays,” said Weiss. “While most people use this time to indulge on food, spending and parties, sex and love addicts may feel entitled to indulge in a different way – one that includes compulsive sexual experiences, affairs, online hookups and other risky behaviors.”
In many ways, the holidays are the best time to get help for sex and love addiction. Rather than allowing loneliness, isolation and disappointment to prevail, which can escalate unhealthy behaviors, treatment grants a reprieve from holiday stresses so that sex and love addicts can focus on getting well.
“We know the holidays are a time when addictive and compulsive behaviors escalate. When reflecting on the past year, many people realize that they have wanted and needed to get help for some time,” said Weiss. “There is no better time to begin sex or love addiction treatment and no better gift than to be in a safe place receiving help and support.”
About The Ranch
Since 1997, The Ranch has provided comprehensive therapeutic programs that treat the underlying causes of eating disorders, addictions and other self-defeating behaviors. The Ranch offers innovative therapies to address the multidimensional aspects of the whole person while teaching personal accountability in a safe, nurturing, real-life environment.

Cage Fighter, the Movie Released for Pay Per View
Medford, OR (PRWEB) December 15, 2011
The Cage Fighter, the Movie has been released to the general public via http://www.thecagefighter.com. Veteran film maker, Tom Monson looks at the sport from behind the scenes to help viewers understand why these people fight.
“At first, I didn’t want to make this film. The mental picture I had about cage fighting was barbaric. You know, all the blood and violence. But when I began my research, I learned there was a lot more to the sport than I first believed.” Monson explained.
Cage fighting, also called mixed martial arts (MMA) combines several forms of martial arts including boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, karate, jiu-jitsu, and others. Often confused with tough-man-brawl-style fighting, the roots of the sport date back to the 648 BC Olympics.
“It’s not as dangerous as I initially thought. I compared MMA with boxing and found in MMA there were no deaths where boxing has had nearly a 1,000 since 1900. This was a surprise.” Monson added.
The Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts have been adopted by all state athletic commissions in the United States. These rules regulate the sport and go a long way to protect the fighter.
“When I saw the dedication of these fighters, I got real interested. It didn’t take long for me to realize cage fighting was a great way to help build character.” Monson said.
There are hundreds of training centers in the US that offer a place to train, practice, and get coaching. The coaches help fighters perfect their techniques. One the average, a typical cage fighter trains about three to four hours a day. The training involves building up stamina with running and other cardio exercises. In order to succeed, a fighter has to live the lifestyle of an athlete.
“After I learned about the sport, I became really excited about sharing what I had learned. I believe it has already overtaken the popularity of boxing and soon it will be the premiere sport in America. The film’s reviews are all positive. People who watch it have changed their views about cage fighting.” Monson explained.
The popularity of this sport is growing exponentially among men 18-34. Surprisingly, it is also gaining a lot of traction with women in the same age group. A recent survey revealed 45% of the fan base is female.
“I was blown away at how the fans reacted to the fights. Women were as vocal as their men counterparts. The fans love this sport.” Monson confirmed.
The film follows one fighter as he trains for the fights. Professional fighters, trainers, promoters, family members, a referee, a fight doctor and others discuss the sport and what it takes to win.
“The thing about this film is not only does it discuss how to win at MMA but also what it takes to win at life. It’s absolutely an inspirational film.” Monson concluded.
Award-winning film maker, Tom Monson has produced dozens of documentaries on subjects ranging from crime prevention, personal safety, drug education and financial fraud prevention. His films have been used world-wide by Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, drug treatment centers, libraries, educators, and law enforcement agencies. Many of his works can be found at http://www.lifeisgreatproductions.com and http://www.drugwars.com.

VINDICO’s data revealed that mid-roll ad placements in the study worked better than pre- or post-roll ads: 93 percent of mid-roll video ads were viewed in their entirety, compared with only 83 percent completion of post-roll video ads and 85 percent completion of pre-roll video ads. Pre- and post-roll ads are attached to most ad-supported content regardless of length, whereas mid-roll ad placements are typically found only in longer-form online content, such as in the middle of a TV program or movie.
“The industry has grown accustomed to predominantly using pre-roll ads as the main vehicle for delivering brand messages via video,” said Matt Timothy, president of VINDICO. “However, our data shows that online viewers may respond better to mid-roll ads particularly because they are delivered within ‘full meal’ video environments as opposed to ‘snacking’ opportunities, such as a movie trailer or video clip. As a result, mid-roll within episodic content where the viewer is invested in watching the full video event tends to offer higher completion rates. Advertisers should consider giving more emphasis to mid-roll when developing their video media plans.”
The study also revealed that many video ad campaigns that run in long-form environments lack sufficient labeling of pod position, suggesting there is a huge opportunity to further understand online viewing behavior.
“There is a tremendous opportunity for marketers and publishers to better understand not only which pod placements work best, such as pre-roll or post-roll, but also the frequency and timing of such video ad placements within each piece of content,” Timothy added.
Serving almost 40 percent of all online video ads, VINDICO provides advertisers and leading agency groups such GroupM, Havas, IPG, Publicis and Omnicom the easiest way to buy, serve and track all online video ad campaigns with a single video ad management platform.
