About Recess Stories:
Families have more entertainment choices today than ever. And children are watching more of their media on computers and mobile devices. Parents are rushing to find games and apps for kids to use. However most children’s programs are animated and fantasy based. The few live action shows that are produced are heavily styled and over acted – presenting a vision of childhood that is slick and sassy. Many parents wonder where the kids are. Surely there must be an alternative to talking animals and 8 year olds who sound like they are 18. Beeswax Productions produced “Recess Stories” to fill this void – real kids acting real stories in short, funny episodes.

“Recess Stories” presents a realistic slice of life on the playground. The girls have messy hair and mismatched socks, the boys are good with a ball but confused by everything else, and nobody can agree on the rules for anything. “Recess Stories” is the only original live action comedy series for elementary school kids online. Like Peanuts there are no adults, like Seinfeld there is no story too small, and like The Little Rascals childhood is presented in all its scrappy chaos.

Creative team Shelley Latham and Kenton Jakub started Beeswax Productions to produce children’s content that shows kids as they actually are – smart, funny, imaginative, caring, resourceful and engaging.

Latham believes that Recess Stories’ quirky, addictive appeal stems from the fact that all of the episodes are based on real events: “We talked to dozens of people about their experiences on the playground and everybody has a recess story to tell. What was surprising to us going into this project was that most of the ‘stories’ that the kids told us involved small moments – the skinned knee, the perfect flip, the day a bug flew into an open mouth, the recess spent pretending to be a dog. What children find momentous can seem trivial to an adult, we wanted Recess Stories to reflect the child’s point of view.”

Latham also noted that none of the stories were about bullying which suggests that all is not bad news from the playground.

This positive approach to children’s programming has struck a chord with kids, their parents, and teachers who have longed for videos that are funny but real, educational but entertaining, and engaging without being hyperactive.

Season Two features nine new episodes including:
* The Bob & Fred War about boys fighting over which name is better;
* Believe It of Not about a girl who can’t help stretching the truth over and over again;
* Mr. Pebbles about some boys who adopt a rock as their mascot and the girls that torment them.

All episodes are based on true stories.

“Recess Stories” was shot entirely on a playground in a small town in Maine. Each episode is a complete story lasting between 2-4 minutes long and features a rotating cast of 40 kids. In addition to streaming at www.RecessStories.com, YouTube, Vimeo, Blip and iTunes, Beeswax Productions has partnered with Yahoo!Kids for an exclusive one week premiere of Season Two episodes and has released Season One as part of the commercial free lineup on the subscription platforms for kids at AmebaTV and Kidobi.

The four teams that were formed and competed in the first season of Sky Ball League (www.skyballleague.com) are the Tampa Dragons, Austin Starz, Youngstown Ballers and Los Angeles 405s. The final episode in the series will feature the remaining two teams standing, who will compete in the Tournament of Champions in Los Angeles. This final smackdown determines who gets the winner’s purse of $40,000.

Brian Dunkleman, one of the original co-hosts of American Idol, hosts the 16 episodes in the Sky Ball League series, which was created by Brian Kessler, who designed the Sky Ball, and sports executive Danny Swartz. “Sky Ball is an energetic combination of basketball, baseball and volleyball, with a little lacrosse thrown in,” says Kessler. “The game uses Sky Balls and smash gloves and is played on a court with goals set at each end that consist of three scoring pads 12 feet to 17 feet high.”

Slightly larger than a softball and constructed of a special combination of plastic and rubber material that is pumped with oxygen and helium, Sky Balls are capable of bouncing up to 75 feet. “Besides the requisite physical dexterity, the challenge to players,” says Swartz, “is that they must not only excel in controlling the ball, but the skillful manipulation of a challenging piece of equipment.”

“Age knows no bounds,” Kessler adds. “Across the league, this season’s players range between 18 and 39, and neither age nor gender has made a bit of difference on how well anyone plays.”

While the first season’s tryouts attracted almost a thousand hopefuls, since Sky Ball League started airing this summer, over 4,000 requests have come in for next season’s tryouts. Sky Ball League expects to significantly expand the number of teams participating in 2012.

“We got the call and hit the road,” says Allen Ray, CEO SimplyHome. “It’s been a whirlwind.”

The home makeover is being done for the Keefer family of York, PA. In 2008, Brian Keefer, a star athlete and college sophomore, had a gymnastics accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Brian’s family pulled together and his dad, Steve, retired early from the military to help his son with the activities of daily living.

And good things come to those who wait…this past Father’s Day, the Keefers awoke to the sound of a bullhorn, “Keefer family out.”

Along with hundreds of area volunteer workers and businesses, SimplyHome will work to install systems for independent living that will make life easier, simpler and more independent for all.

“The remodeled home will give Brian adult independence as he ages and begins a new family of his own as well as proximity to us so we may care for him as needed,” explains Steve.

Ray says that, “As I reflect on all of our original ideas, how things have grown and how we utilize technology in support of the human side of our business, it makes me so proud that we’ve been asked to be a part of a show watched by more than 10 million people.”

About SimplyHome:
Located in Asheville, NC, SimplyHome designs and installs wireless technology products to promote independent living. Aging in place and helping people with disabilities to live independently is the business’s core focus. SimplyHome’s support systems are individually tailored to meet specific needs and to assist care providers.

The home is for the Keefer family of York, PA. In 2008, Brian, a star athlete and college sophomore, had a gymnastics accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Brian’s family pulled together and his dad, Steve, retired early from the military to help his son with the activities of daily living.

As the show’s design team realized the specific needs of this family, assistive technology seemed to be a solution that would really enhance Brian’s independence and the family’s peace of mind.

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition called and asked us to create some of the solutions that would enable Brian to have more control over his environment – inside and outside his home,” explains Ian Sanders, SimplyHome’s Director of Sales.

Allen Ray, SimplyHome’s CEO, reports that since their arrival, “The production crew and staff have been absolutely amazing. And the family – they are very spiritual and I have to admit I had a lump in my throat while we talked about the plans for promoting Brian’s independence through our wireless technologies.”

Ray adds that the house has never had fewer than 75-100 construction people working at any given time with multiple vendors working together in every category. Building inspectors are very much involved and other volunteers are available to assist as needed.

Currently, the family has a two-story Colonial home and Brian is not able to access a good portion of it. This home makeover project will ensure that life becomes easier for Brian and the rest of his family – his dad, Steve, his mom, Dawn, and his brothers; Adam, Scott and Colin.

In 2003, SimplyHome began to brainstorm about the idea of creating assistive technologies to help the elderly and people with disabilities to live more independently.

“We thought if smart home technology can be used to do things like send alarms to fire and police departments or turn lights on and off remotely, why not create outcomes using technology to support individuals’ independence,” says Ray. “This experience is truly an honor, especially when you’re committed to helping people like we are,” states Ray.

This build will launch the show’s ninth season on ABC and will air this fall – the exact date is to be announced.

The burgoo recipe became a discussion between Moonlite and Bobby Flay when he wished to put Lima Beans into the soup. While Bobby Flay added it to his version, Moonlite still contends that most cooks would never put lima beans in Burgoo; as Pit Master Benny Bosley claims, “You can put whatever you want in it, I just might not call it burgoo.” The Special was filmed at Sullivan College in Louisville on May 5 and should air during the Kentucky Derby (between 4 and 5 p.m.).

The center of the burgoo universe is Owensboro, Kentucky. Owensboro is located on the Ohio River, about mid-way between Cincinnati, OH and St. Louis, MO. The largest city in western Kentucky, Owensboro is known as “The Bar-B-Q Capital of the World.” This is due, in part, to the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn, and the world renowned International Bar-B-Q Festival held on the Riverfront the second weekend in May (May 13 and 14, 2011).

Owensboro’s burgoo is a hearty soup made from mutton, chicken, and a variety of vegetables. No two cooks prepare it the same way and most keep their recipes a closely guarded secret. Burgoo is a staple at both the Moonlite and the International Bar-B-Q Festival. Moonlite also sells burgoo by mail-order on its online store http://www.moonlite.com .

Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn seats 350 people and has been voted the best barbecue in Kentucky by: AAA, Kentucky Living, and Kentucky Monthly. The restaurant prepares about 50 gallons of burgoo a day, and barbecues between 20 and 30 thousand pounds of meat per week (about half of which is Mutton). It is Mutton (sheep) which gives burgoo its distinctive flavor. Moonlite can bring Burgoo to you. They have a renowned catering department which can handle any size group and can cater anywhere in the U.S.

SPORTS ANGELS will be a weekly hour long television show with the mandate of “kids, sports and communities in need first.” It will become the latest and greatest concept of “feel good” reality television with a purpose and a strong list of take home information and messages for the viewers. Each week, Pat will create and lead a team of retired or off-season professional sports players on a mission to repair, renovate and restore sports (or sporting facilities) all over America. Big cities, small towns, and everything in between “if it’s broke – they’ll fix it….”

Pat rightfully believes “childhood obesity is at an all time high, yet things like an attractive soccer field, or a new basketball hoop are considered ‘luxuries’ in today’s economy, especially in low income urban neighborhoods and communities who are facing the most severe cut backs.” According to Pat, “Health isn’t a luxury and we need to do whatever we can to get the next generation out of this danger zone and walking (and running) into a future of fun, health, and positive team work.” Pat knows “when you build a state of the art gym – great benefits come with it such as like lower drug use, less crime, and life lessons that won’t be forgotten.” SPORTS ANGELS will be a new twist on Pat’s “kid’s first” sports and health theme and now the biggest names in athletics are ready each week to help get America’s youth in shape, one field, one team and one kid at a time.

Said Southern Bleacher’s Garrett Pettus, “We’ve had a long-term relationship with Pat Summerall, and when he asked us to be an integral part of SPORTS ANGELS inaugural event, we jumped at the opportunity. We, like Pat, believe in giving back to the communities we serve across the United States. The bleacher and picnic tables we donated today are but a small component to the overall success of this and other projects that Sports Angels champions.”
