Escort agencies are companies that provide escorts for clients, usually for sexual services. The agency typically arranges a meeting between one of its escorts and the client at the customer's house or hotel room (outcall), or at the escort's residence (incall). Some agencies also provide escorts for longer durations, who may stay with the client or travel along on a holiday or business trip. While the escort agency is paid a fee for this booking and dispatch service, the customer must negotiate any additional fees or arrangements directly with the escort for any other services that are not provided by the agency involved, such as providing sexual services (regardless of the legality of these services).
Escort agencies claim that they are dispatching these individuals to provide a social or conversational service rather than a sexual service, since prostitution laws often forbid taking payment for sex or communicating for the purpose of arranging a contract for sexual services. Advertisements for escort agencies often carefully skirt the legal line, and avoid specifically offering prostitution or sexual services. This fact in turn is well-known to police and the political powers, who, where prostitution is illegal, usually prefer to act against more visible and problematic street prostitution. This has been criticized as hypocrisy, especially where governments license and tax the escort agencies. However, there almost certainly do exist agencies that do go by these laws and do not facilitate prostitution. Some countries have used a two-pronged approach of criminalizing street prostitution but permitting or licensing prostitution in brothels or via escort agencies.
Escort agencies often recruit individuals to work as escorts by placing employment advertisements in a magazine or newspaper. Escort agencies typically maintain a list of escorts of different ages and appearances to cater to the varying interests of clients. Some agencies may specifically deal in a certain type of escort. There are male-for-male, female-for-male, and female-for-female escort agencies, as well as a few male-for-female agencies. Agencies commonly specialize in only one sex. Transsexual or transgender escorts are available from some escort agencies. It is very common for escorts to enter the business through referrals from friends who have been in the business. The effectiveness of ads in weeklies or specialized sites has been questioned by some operators as there are so many that they are diluted. Typically, an escort will interview with an agency.
Once an agency decides to hire an escort, she or he will provide photographs or pose for a photographer. These pictures are posted on the agency's website or circulated among clients to promote business. Some larger escort agencies maintain websites with photo galleries of their escorts. Clients contact agencies by telephone and offer a description of what kind of escorts are sought. The agency will then suggest an escort who might fit that client's need. The agency collects the client's contact information and calls the escort. Usually, to protect the identity of the escort and ensure effective communication with the client, the agency arranges the appointment. Sometimes, it may be up to the escort to contact the client directly to make arrangements for the location and time of an appointment. Generally, the escort is also expected to call the agency upon arrival at the location and upon leaving, to ensure the safety of the escort.

On Jan. 23, a small group of people who live in the Woodlands area of Connoquenessing Township, along with some supporters, ventured before the Butler County commissioners to ask for assistance in resolving the water difficulties that the Woodlands residents have been experiencing for two years.
In residents' descriptions of their water, the most fetching characteristic described was "purple foam." I never had heard of purple foam, but other characteristics were more recognizable: combustible water, foul odors and rashes occurring after bathing in the water.
One of the speakers asked the commissioners to use the power of their office to remedy the situation.
The commissioners must do something.
They should get in touch with Congressman Mike Kelly and Pennsylvania's two U.S. senators and explain that there is an ongoing problem in the Woodlands that no one has been able to solve.
We no longer can accept "no" for an answer from anybody. The situation in the Woodlands has gone on for too long.
The solution has three parts:
We need adequate supplies of water. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has warehouses full of water. We need a truckload of water, and that truckload needs to be replenished when needed.
We need to install a pipe or whatever the engineers decide on for a permanent solution.
We need to fully investigate Rex Energy and determine its culpability. If Rex is found to be responsible — and I believe that it is — the company should be shut down and required to pay for everything.
I wish to remind residents of the Woodlands that Connoquenessing Township offices will be on the election ballots this year. My advice to those residents is to run a slate of candidates and use the campaign as an amplifier for residents' plight.
Residents will find that they have more support than they realize. We at the Butler County Democratic Committee would welcome the opportunity to walk residents through the paperwork.
Petitions become available in February and need to be turned in in March.
The primary election is in May, and the general election is in November.
This can be done and needs to be done.
We need to elect people to all levels of government who are willing to challenge the gas industry. Until we have seats at the table, the gas industry will continue to do as it pleases.
For two years, Butler County Democrats have been in favor of a moratorium on drilling.

Comic 870: False Advertising
[Comic title: "Advertising"; alt text: "I remember the exact moment in my childhood when I realized, while reading a flyer, that nobody would ever spend money solely to tell me they wanted to give me something for nothing. It's a much more vivid memory than the (related) parental Santa talk."]
You'd better be fucking happy, Randy. You've finally produced a comic with so many blatant flaws I'm writing an actual goddamn review of it. Are you content now? Are you at ease, now that you have a few days where you can attempt to replicate what Megan's milk must taste like without being pestered about how creepy it is? Fuck you, Randy. Fuck you.
Let's start with the first panel, shall we? This one is annoying for the same reason 169 was annoying. Most notably: nobody actually uses that phrase. He's combined "up to 15% off all items!" and "save 15% or more!" into one utterly retarded phrase. Randy, you see, is a disingenuous fuck. He desperately wants to seem like someone who is smart, so he creates situations in which people do things which bother him, because he is smart and they are not.
The second panel is what really pisses me off, though. It's dumb on so very many levels. First, this isn't a mathematical complaint. Randy is trying to leverage game theory here to prove some trait about human behavior. This is about as stupid as it sounds. The biggest problem, apart from the fact that game theory is not, in fact, a hard-coded law of human behavior, is that the game Randy has constructed is flawed. It seems to assume that the only form of expected value possible is monetary.
The basic assertion he's making is that people don't pay money for advertising unless they expect to recoup that money somehow. He feels that this is somehow disingenuous of advertisers to call it "free." And he thinks he has proven this mathematically. This is phenomenally stupid, given that Randy is a webcartoonist. While perhaps he is ignorant of this fact by virtue of spending about 95 percent of his brainpower imagining what Megan's nipples look like, webcartoonists are (a) offering a free service (b) pretty keen on buying advertising for that free service. Most of them, no doubt, are hoping to make money off their webcomic eventually, but I imagine a large sum of them are just interested in getting viewers. They are buying advertising because they expect that it will net them more readers--even if these readers do not make them any money whatsoever. I know I've considered buying advertising for my personal projects, which have no advertising and which will almost certainly not make me any money. I would only do this because I like having readers, not out of any desire to have money.
I'm not going to list all the various and sundry things that people spend money on advertising that are free. There's lots, though. This second panel is just another disingenuous attempt at Randy to pass off his incredibly poor understanding of human nature as some piercing insight into how the world works, or some savage denunciation of the treachery of the advertising industry. "How dare you claim that the things you aren't charging any money for are free, when you expect to recoup your losses through other means!"
The last panel--well, I wasted all my rage on the second panel, so it's hard to get that annoyed at it. I mean, sure, Randy's statement is incorrect: while there is a sale on, the more you spend at that time will save you more in the future, provided you were going to purchase those items anyway and provided you don't alter your rate of consumption because of buying in bulk. But he is right in suggesting that the principle is misleading, though, again, it's not because of any sort of mathematical property. It's just because sales are meant to exploit various bits of human psychology that mean you'll buy things you otherwise wouldn't. But if I'm saving $20 on an item that I just purchased, if I buy six of them I just saved $120 on those items. The more I spend on them, the more I save, as a flat rate. (Percentage-wise, of course, it remains the same, and as it applies to the money I personally have, the more I spend the less I'm able to put into savings, but that's not what "save" means here.)
And of course he has to point out that the slope is negative. Good one, Randy! COULDN'T SPOT THAT ON MY OWN.
I feel a momentary twinge of pity for Randy when I read the alt-text. Maybe he just remembers it because of one of those weird quirks of memory, but he makes it sound like he remembers it because it was a life-altering experience. "That's the moment I became a cynic," he seems to be saying. (Though he's probably the sort of dick that uses the word "realist" instead, the useless fuck.) "That's the moment I came to understand the world."
I can understand a child finding that an interesting revelation. I'm sure I thought that companies gave away free things just because they were really cool, and not because they thought it would improve customer loyalty or make money. But to look back on that moment as something profound is kind of sad.

Your Panel 2 rant is spot-on. What I actually came here to complain about was the fact that every Geico commercial says they could save you "up to 15% or more on car insurance," but a quick Googling seems to indicate that they actually don't use the "up to." Probably because they know it's retarded.ReplyDelete

The expected value is monetary because that's what everything is converted into.
Randy is employing the fallacy of equivocation in the third panel.
That is all.

For anyone who actually talks with real people using words... panel one's hypothetical advertisement really isn't that big an issue. These hypothetical salesfolk are obviously telling you, "we've calculated that you'll save somewhere between 0 - 15 % off," and add the "or more" simply because in today's society it's necessary as an "And if you save even more on our products, don't demand we give it to you for free or some shit like that because we're actually giving you a BETTER deal than advertised, you literalist cunt!"ReplyDelete
I remember that the local grocery store had to give someone the product for free [up to $10] if it was improperly priced. Some guy came up and told the cashier that the bananas were listed too expensive; they rang up at half the price. So he demanded she give them for free because they were "mis-priced" when she asked him to pay less than its actual price. THESE PEOPLE EXIST.
They should just say 'up to 100% off' at all times and cover their bases.ReplyDelete

I have to say:ReplyDelete
I have seen "up to [X] or more" and I do hate it. Maybe his comic could have just been panel 1.
I do think your story about a person insisting on a discount because he was charged less than the list price is interesting in a horrific way, but I had never connected that with the "up to [X] or more" phrasing, and frankly I still think that's a stretch. I think it's just as likely that nobody proofread it closely, or they're copying the phrasing from something else that said it like that.
And even if it is to ward off the most incredibly asinine people in the universe, I still hate it. Much as I shake my head at some of the excerpts at http://www.dumbwarnings.com/
Rest of your rant is accurate.

I'm pretty sure Geico uses "up to 15% or more." At least, that's what Google tells me. Pretty sure it's probably like what the evil carrion fowl Ravenzomg said, though. I.e., it's not that the advertisers are dumb or deliberately misleading, it's that some of their customers are dumb as shit.ReplyDelete

I thought I remembered "up to 15% or more" from Geico but can find NOTHING proving it.ReplyDelete
Although I get the oddest feeling that validating that panel wouldn't make this comic better...?
Nah who am I kidding this is the height of funny~
- Charles Augustus FortescueMarch 10, 2011 at 7:05 AM
It oughtn't to be too hard to understand. They believe that they can save you 15% or more. It's the "up to" that is added as a caveat to cover them in case they are mistaken.ReplyDelete
Randle is correct that, in purely mathematical terms, the phrase is meaningless; but it takes up a lot less space and sounds better than "You should be able to save at least 15%, but it's possible we haven't considered every possible set of circumstances so you might not".
As ever with language, strict logic takes second place to getting the meaning across. If people understand it, it isn't really wrong.
OH yeah. I'm new here so Im trawling through the archives and I wanted to make a note that comic 636 is the one I think I've seen of a relationship comic where the guy is the observant one. Just making a note don't mind me.ReplyDelete

This comic is just annoyingly bad. It's a jumble of walls(or maybe floors) of text with illustrations that are actually horrid. And well, for once Rob's text actually said all I had to say.

In reference to the last point, maybe he was simply not all that surprised or affected by the Santa talk.ReplyDelete
I know I got told about Santa pretty offhandedly and basically responded, "Yeah, I know." So maybe I just think of "The Santa talk" being pretty unremarkable.
- Megan's Milk ButtonMarch 10, 2011 at 9:57 AM
In panel 3, shouldn't those axes be reversed? "Amount you save" is a function of "amount you spend". You'd think a self-proclaimed math worshiper would know that.ReplyDelete

I'm pretty happy with anyone who's denigrating XKCD. I'm so tired of people coming up to me and being all like 'nerds are so cool and so I pretend that XKCD is funnny because of ... that.' Or whatever makes them like the damn thing.ReplyDelete
Honestly Rob, you could write a bunch of curses about XKCD/Randall on here and it would be cathartic to me, at least.
You're right Mr. Milk Button! The amount you spend is the independent variable here so it should go on the x axis. Switching them around won't make it any less stupid though.ReplyDelete
For some reason staring at this comic gives me a headache (not because of its stupidity) but because of how its laid out. I have a headache now :(

@Ravenz: Most grocery stores have a policy that if something is mis-priced they will either give it to you free (up to 10 dollars in value) or 10 dollars off. At a Safeway around here, I went through the register and something came up wrong. An old lady behind me piped up and said "He gets those free right?" Cashier replied "Only if he asks for it." I'd never have known otherwise.ReplyDelete
There are policies put in place here that can save you money, why WOULDN'T you try to use them? I don't know if it's just a store policy, or law, or what. But if all you need to do is ask for it, they are hoping that your ignorance of policy, or your unwillingness to appear rude/embarrass yourself is going to stop you from doing it. Better to look the fool by asking for free stuff than to play the fool by paying money you didn't have to.

GEICO's ad say "up to 15% or more", according to Wikipedia: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GEICO_advertising_campaignsReplyDelete
It's the law in some states.ReplyDelete
In my state if something has a mislabeled price, they are credited the price difference plus 5 times the price difference up to $5.
So $120.00 and they charge you $120.50, the give you back $0.50 + Max(5($0.50), $5) = $3.00 AFTER you pay them the $120.50.
Priced $120.00 but charged $130.00 you get $15.00 back.
"5 times the price difference up to $5" is Min(5(price difference), $5) surelyReplyDelete

Nice job on this one. This comic annoyed me bad enough to want to make my own xkcd blog. BTW I do not read xkcd, but I can't fucking spend 2 minutes on facebook without some jerk posting some terrible and lame xkcd comic. Your blog is doing more for people like me than you can imagine.ReplyDelete

I'm probably not the first to point this out, but in panel three the slope shouldn't be negative, unless Randall is trying to be really meta by proving himself wrong in his own comic.ReplyDelete

Shouldn't the graph be a flat line, as flat as the discount? What fucking message is that graph trying to convey? The more I spend, the less I save, what sort of imbecility is this?ReplyDelete

@Anon 631: Randall is trying to communicate that given a fixed endowment with no income, every dollar spent reduces your "savings" [ie: remaining endowment] by exactly that much.ReplyDelete
Buuuuut, as anyone who has ever drawn a salary knows, "income" is pretty cool.
For da trolls: I'd even say your savings can increase... exponentially as you spend! ....
I don't understand your beef with 169. I've heard that joke told "seriously" several times.ReplyDelete
no you haven't.ReplyDelete

I think I know my own life, Ned.ReplyDelete
apparently not in this case.ReplyDelete
- ErnestoMarch 10, 2011 at 9:02 PM
Hey, at least today Randy admits he's an asshole.ReplyDelete
I think 169 was meant as a dis to jokes like that in general. Like that one where someone asks if you know what something means, and then says, "Can you spell it?" Then you spell the word and they're like, "Ha! It's 'I-T'!"ReplyDelete
I've heard that one at least twice, so I can appreciate 169.

It may not matter from a strictly mathematical standpoint, but not having your independent variable on the x-axis is, as Randall would say, mathematically annoying.

Hah! So I wanted to see it with my own eyes and googled up http://www.google.com/search?q=%22up+to%22+%22or+more%22 and sure enough, all the first page was crap like "Save up to $1000 a year or more" except one result: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UpToOrMoreReplyDelete
Waow, I should start my own webcomic about this stuff!
- AnonymousMarch 23, 2011 at 1:36 PM
I just can't believe you are doing all this seriously.ReplyDelete
You are complaining that a web site you stumbled upon a while ago is not any more up to your standard. As if you were now entitled by right to read an excellent joke every 3 days. If you don't like it any more, don't read it. If you think it has become a waste of time, don't waste an order of magnitude more time complaining that it is a waste of time. Just remove xkcd from your bookmarks. You will live happier and longer.
I just love it. I agree with some but not all of your complaints. It doesn't really matter.
(and no, I have no idea whether Randall's rate is actually one joke every 3 days).

Secrets of Online Persuasion – The Power of the "Long Tail"
by CoachDeb · Filed Under: General TS Stuff
Secrets of Online Persuasion Book
Since there are so many powerful and now proven concepts in my book, Secrets of Online Persuasion, I've decided to share more of it with you. Sometimes, as marketers, we need to be reminded of the basics. We are here to serve our clients as well as create income for ourselves. This is why we are marketers, correct?
Here's your excerpt….
Secrets of Online Persuasion – Where The Wealth And Power Are
The age of communication requires exchanges, but creation of all those comments, conversations and bits of information builds a tremendous volume of data. Real wealth and power are not where you think. It's not necessarily reserved for the high-volume producers or high-traffic sites.
The greatest area of opportunity for many businesses lies in what's called the "Long Tail."
The Long Tail is a term coined by Chris Anderson in an article he wrote for "Wired" magazine in 2004. (Also the book of the same title, released in July 2006.)
It comes from a graphical representation that shows how the relatively few in any industry, market, or supply channel can appear to carry most of the momentum. They form what's called the "head."
All the smaller players or lower demand products trail off in a downward sloping curve. They form what is called the "Long Tail."
For a practical example of how this works, let's take a look at a graph representing the sale of music.
In the head, are the primarily off-line stores who look (at first glance) to be carrying the bulk of the volume in sales.
However, when you look closely, you'll notice that the number of titles available is limited only to the most popular artists, and only when purchasing an entire CD. When you move into the Long Tail, you see the sale of many more obscure song titles with an appearance of decreasing volume.
But the fact is that Napster has gained the loyalty of customers who either purchase or "rent" access (through a $15/month membership) to the same high demand titles in the head, along with nearly two million lower demand individual songs in the tail. The sum total of all the less popular titles in the Long Tail far outweighs the volume in the head.
By leveraging New Media delivery/consumption, and satisfying the desires of numerous musical micro-markets, Napster is able to compete with the big name stores via the Long Tail.

AltLaw has since shut down, but it helped to inspire other organizations, such as Google Scholar, to make more legal documents freely available and searchable.

Angelo Buono, Hillside Strangler co-defendant
On January 9, 1984, Angelo Buono one of the co-defendants in the Hillside Strangler case is sentenced to life in prison for his role in the rape, torture, and murder of 10 young women in Los Angeles. Buono's cousin and partner in crime, Kenneth Bianchi, testified against Buono to escape the death penalty.
Buono, a successful auto upholsterer, and Bianchi began their serial crime spree in 1977 when Bianchi moved from New York to Los Angeles to live with his cousin. The pair raped and strangled their first victim, Yolanda Washington, on October 17, 1977. Within a month Buono and Bianchi had attacked three other women and developed a trademark method of operation. They picked up the women in their van, drove them back to Buono's house where they were sexually assaulted, tortured, and strangled to death. The duo then thoroughly cleaned the bodies before taking and posing them in various positions on hillsides in the Los Angeles area. Thus, they earned the nickname the "Hillside Strangler." The press assumed that it was the work of one man. Following the death of the 10th victim in February 1978, the murders suddenly stopped. Buono and Bianchi were no longer getting along. Bianchi moved to Washington, where he became a security guard. However, he couldn't keep his murderous impulses in check and killed two college students. A witness who had seen the two girls with Bianchi came forward and the case was solved. Bianchi claimed to have multiple personalities and initially blamed the murders on "Steve," one of his alternate personalities. Psychiatrists examining Bianchi quickly dismissed his ruse and Bianchi then confessed to the Hillside Strangler murders, testifying against Buono to avoid the death penalty in Washington. During his trial, Buono fiercely insisted on his innocence, pointing to the fact that there was no physical evidence tying him to the crimes. Buono's house was so clean that investigators couldn't even find Buono's own fingerprints in the home. But after more than 400 witnesses testified, Buono was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Angelo Buono died from a heart attack on Sept. 21, 2002 at the age of 67. Kenneth Bianchi was denied parole in September 2005 and remains in prison.

About Linda L.Close
View Full Profile
"Phonics" are the basic foundation of all alphabet-based writing. For learning to read English, students learn best when taught a combination of phonics and sight-words. (English is full of words that are NOT spelled phonetically; however, the rules of phonics do have a definite place in learning to read English.)
With beginning readers, I incorporate songs and rhyme to help children hear and understand phonics. I also use rhythm/percussion to help children distinguish syllables.
About Linda
I do not typically provide any equipment - but I am willing to select and purchase books for the students to learn from (cost of books to be reimbursed by the student/parent) when requested to do so.
I am also willing to provide stick-on note-names for the keyboard, for young children.
The students must have their own instruments, and provide a folder for sheet music and notes/instructions.
*** Specialties ***
Guitar, I specialize in the following styles: jazz, rock, blues, folk, bluegrass, and children's songs.
Piano: I prefer electronic keyboard to acoustic piano, but am happy to teach beginning students on a regular piano as well. I teach note-reading, playing by ear, and theory, with en emphasis on rock, pop, and folk music. I include arranging, chord theory, and use of the many features of an elec
Bass Guitar: I teach rock, pop, funk, and country music on bass.
Banjo: I teach bluegrass, country, and some blues and rock music. I also play and teach old-timey frailing/clawhammer style.
Ukulele: I play and teach all styles of ukulele.
English and Reading: I am highly qualified to tutor/teach English (spoken, written, and reading comprehension) to both native English speakers and to those learning it as a second language.
*** I am particularly good at working with children who have a.d.h.d. and other learning disabilities!

DISTAR method
Combine subjects for a price break. For example 30 minutes of Math and 45 minutes of English would cost $50 separately, but would cost $45 for 75 minutes of Combined Tutoring. Simply choose ONE subject for the amount of tutoring time desired, and notify me which subjects you'd like to cover.
About Julie
*** Lesson Details ***
A typical lesson in my studio would begin with a brief question/answer time with the student to learn how their week has gone, and how their music practice is progressing.
For PIANO LESSONS we begin with Technique including scales and dexterity exercises, then we play from the Lesson book and a Recital selection. I typically let the student play through the pieces they have prepared without interruption, then I call attention to corrections that need to be made, I demonstrate the correction, and then ask the student to play the piece again. After that we go over the Theory assignments, and do Ear Training exercises. I am comfortable teaching from a variety of different methods courses. The methods course is chosen according to the student's interest. I never require a piano student to continue using books that are not inspiring. There so many methods courses available, that a student may always be able to have methods books they LOVE.
In my SINGING LESSONS we also begin with a recap of the student's week. Then we continue with Warm Up exercises to prepare the student's voice for the lesson. Then we study Sight Singing and Solfege Singing (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do) to increase the student's listening skills. After that the student sings their selections. Like I do in Piano lessons, I listen to the pieces they have prepared without interruption, then I call attention to corrections that need to be made, I demonstrate the correction, and then ask the student to sing the piece again. I am comfortable teaching many styles of vocal music including classical, Broadway, pop, rock, and Christian.
For MUSIC THEORY lessons, the study material is chosen according to the student's interest and age. Topics include notation, chord structure, chord progression, melodic structure, and harmony. I also incorporate Music Listening in the Music Theory lesson in order to learn from the masters in many styles of music. My Music Theory students will also have the opportunity to develop composition and songwriting skills if they desire.
My teaching style is structured and friendly, keeping the student's goals and interests at the forefront. I enjoy motivating students to reach their highest potential.
After 3 to 6 months in my studio my students will see improvement in their musical technique, ear training, music reading, notation, and knowledge. They will be preparing recital pieces for an upcoming performance. I provide three Studio Class performances (February, June, October) and one recital opportunity (December) a year. Most importantly, the student's love and appreciation of music will be growing.
*** Studio Equipment ***
PIANO lessons in Living Room: piano near front entryway, couch, loveseat, over-sized chair, dining room table, open space, end table with chair, parents may sit in on lesson.
SINGING lessons in Recording Studio: keyboard, recording equipment, desk, 2 chairs, music stand, microphone, private room. Parents may wait in adjacent rec room or sit in on lesson.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide lesson books, the students should provide their instrument.
I do have a mobile keyboard to bring for SINGING lessons.

I teach phonics to younger children to develop their reading, writing and speech. I put a heavy emphasis on developing the child's awareness of phonemes, which are the most basic building blocks for all words in the English language. I will improve your child's ability to hear, identify, and manipulate over 40+ phonemes, and teach them how they correspond to the intricate spelling patterns that are found in our language.
I have taught all forms of English and language arts from pre-school to adults in their 50's from foreign countries. I am an expert on pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, reading, writing as well as more complex mechanics such as sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, comprehension, etc.

If you've ever struggled to explain to your child why a word says what it does or is spelled the way it is, please join me for a one hour seminar in Phonics for Parents.
To many emerging readers, English can seem to be a frustrating jumble of exceptions. For nearly a century, many students have been taught grossly oversimplified phonics that generate thousands of exceptions. That approach works for some students, but many struggle - especially rule-following, logical, literal students. Indeed, nearly two thirds of 4th and 8th graders read below grade level.
Thankfully, English follows a deliciously rich and robust code with remarkable consistency - and in fact, fully 98% of English words are phonetically regular. The Phonics for Parents seminar is one hour of intensive instruction designed to give literate adults the tools needed to unlock the code and become a literacy superhero. You'll come away with insights that have left many wondering "how did I not know this before

He came prepared and on time every time, ready to tutor in either subject because my child was difficult, uncooperative and would not stick to her scheduled sessions. Through all this Keith remained dedicated, supportive and patient. He worked with us even to the premature ending of our sessions, and even then he remained understanding and supportive of our decision to end.
If there's one tutor I'd recommend; it would be Keith. He WILL make every effort to reach your child and engage them in the learning process to attain positive growth and development, you will NOT be disappointed in any way.

Border Patrol Agents nab two on Derby Road
by Tena Starr
copyright the Chronicle 12-5-2012
DERBY — U.S. Border Patrol agents and local police arrested two men on the Derby Road here Monday who were wanted in New Hampshire in connection with a shooting in Nashua.
Tuesday night, New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said both men have been arrested on federal charges, one of them regarding charges in Vermont.
He said he is not involved in that prosecution and could not say what the charges are.
As far as the New Hampshire shooting goes, the two men were sought only in connection with their possible role as witnesses, he said.
An adult male, whose name was still being withheld as of Tuesday pending notification of all family members, was shot in Nashua Sunday night, according to a press release from the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office. The press release says little more about either the incident, or the victim, who is hospitalized.
"Our agents received a lookout from the Nashua PD," said Melissa Isaquirre at Vermont Border Patrol headquarters in Swanton Tuesday.
She said that, while on patrol, agents saw a vehicle that matched the description they had received — a 1995 Toyota Avalon — and stopped it. The two men are Daniel DeGrace, 31, and Benjamin Mayberry, 30.
Mr. Hinckley said both men are being held in Vermont.
Cindy Sanville, a real estate agent with Century 21 Farm and Forest Realty, noticed the growing collection of law enforcement officers outside her work office Monday and went out to snap pictures. She said that, by the time she arrived, Border Patrol agents, who were carrying guns, had both men on the ground.
"Before I realized what was going on there were six vehicles lined up," she said referring to law enforcement cars. She said Border Patrol agents were circling her office building.
Newport Police helped apprehend the men.
