    Public Relations for the FBI
    After all the screw ups we have seen at the Federal Bureau of Investigation we know that they need some pretty good public relations right about now. It seems that during the 911 hijacking and attack we later learned that the FBI knew that international terrorists were learning how to fly airplanes but they did not want to learn how to land.

    TELEVISION & VIDEOTAPE TIPS

    * Gestures should be smaller.

    * Make sure clothing is "broken in" and comfortable when you are sitting and standing.

    * Prior to your performance, have instant photos or video taken of you while sitting and standing. Make sure your clothes look good in both positions.

    * Find out the background color of the set if possible. You don't want your clothing to blend in and make you invisible.

    * Ask the producer for wardrobe color suggestions.

    * Do not wear any clothing with tight patterns or pin stripes. This causes an optical illusion called a moir? pattern which makes you look bad.

    * Avoid clothing with large patterns or geometric shapes. The audience will watch your clothes instead of you.

    * Avoid wearing black, white, or red on television or video. Even the best of cameras have trouble with these colors.

    * Avoid flashy jewelry. It reflects light.

    * Avoid jangly jewelry. It reflects light and makes noise that will be picked up by your microphone (this applies whether you are on TV or not).

    * Wear your eyeglasses if you want, but avoid shiny frames.

    * Tip the bows of your eyeglasses up slightly off your ears. This angles the lenses down to reduce glare from lights.

    * Wear makeup. It has the practical purpose of reducing the glare of TV lights.

    * Apply it to all exposed body parts, like backs of hands, arms, neck, etc. Apply cover-up below eyes to mask bags and/or wrinkles.

    Boat Cleaning Business - Bilge Clean-up Tips
    These areas, like any other car engine and compartment that you may come across, can either be very clean, or be extremely greasy, dirty and grimy. Remember to mention the difficulty in locating fuel, oil or water leaks on a dirty leaky bilge. You will need to take extreme caution when doing in the bilge area as there are extra switches and wiring, like you might find underneath in a car engine.

    * Don't second guess the camera. Act as if you are always on screen.

    * Make sure your makeup, wardrobe, and hair are consistent with your message.

    MEN

    * Wear knee-length socks.

    * Always keep double breasted jackets buttoned.

    * Single breasted jackets can be opened, but not too wide.

    * I SAY AGAIN Wear Makeup. TV lights can penetrate several layers of skin. You can't possibly shave close enough to prevent whiskers from showing without makeup.

    * Don't forget makeup on receding hairlines or bald heads.

    Trick: Run the thin part of your tie through the loop in the back of the main part of your tie then clip the thin part to your shirt below the loop. This will keep your tie perfectly centered without the tie clip showing.
