Rich Hall in Melbourne
He's has been coming to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for more than 20 years. Yet because Rich Hall is such a familiar face, and because his shows rarely have big themes, or even titles, to draw the attention, he's easily overlooked by all those critical radars seeking the next big thing.
Audiences are not so fickle, though, and he's doing great business at the striking 600-capacity Capitol Theatre. And great work, come to mention it, too.
The highlights of his show are his mini-rants, as he gruffly barks out lyric insults against greed and stupidity, meaning he's never short of source material. Each time his bitter adjectives and vitriolic insults build up a powerful momentum through their pounding rhythm, as Hall applies his musical ability to his words, creating beautiful crescendos of cantankerousness.
His native America provides an almost bottomless pit of material. In his firing line are rampant gun ownership; the hostile takeover of Cadbury's by the culinary vandals at Kraft, and far-right fundamentalist politicians. Possibly easy targets, but he destroys them with simple common sense, absurd extrapolation, pitch-perfect metaphor and poetic language. A phrase such as 'Moses is your meat thermometer,' somehow has meaning, when in context.
Neither Britain nor Australia are off the hook, either. A highlight is his routine on the UK's not entirely unexpected horsemeat scandal. But while lesser comics are content with sub-Twitter equine puns, he fires up yet another blistering diatribe of plain thinking, deliciously put. He is the gourmet, organic meat patty to the 10p-a-burger rivals.
His rants are punctuated with semi-improvised songs, such as the now-familiar tale of poor little Tommy trapped down a well, with only the ingenuity of one front-row punter to save him. Sadly, tonight's real estate agent searched for the hero inside himself and came up empty-handed – but still Hall developed his own, rather unlikely, rescue plan based on the chap's occupation. More crowd-pleasing was a fast-paced musical tribute to Australian towns, somewhat akin in rhythm to Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire.
This grizzled Montanan finds joy in the wide-open spaces of this land; but on humanity he's getting grumpier as he ages. And funnier with it. Here's to 20 more years...

Rich Hall at Eden Court Theatre Inverness, to what looked like a sell-out gig on a Thursday evening in March,is quite an achievement! He delivered a solid performance and bonded with his audience from the start in his verbose grouchy manner we have come to know him for. Especially when he touches on the subject of World politics and America in particular. Being in a unique position to experience and witness life on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and observe the cultural differences and absurd views we have of each other and weave it it into his comedy material. The second half of his two hour set was his brand of comedy done in musical form, not the Otis T. Crenshaw persona unfortunately ! Maybe next time he's in Inverness? Audience loved this amiable American and he looked as if he enjoyed himself too!

A heroic show at Swindon battling a cold. I've been to a show every year for the last four and always leave with a huge grin on my face. Long may he continue!
Sally - 27/10/2010
Saw Rich Hall last night at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol - he was so funny that I'm sure there are people with aching faces today! I've never laughed out loud so much - if you get a chance to see him, you really should go!
James Quince - 08/03/2010
Absolutely fantastic. Every time I see his work; perfect jokes, perfect delivery, just so funny!
Con - 27/09/2009
Saw DVD recording. I think it did work at the Apollo. Brilliant night.
Justin - 13/09/2009
I really like this guy. I felt sorry for him though at the Greenwich Comedy festival. Poor compere, in a big linen tent and a silent disco outside that kept on yelling over his gags. He got off the stage as quickly as possible, wish I'd held on and waited until he appeared at a good venue like the Apollo. Comedy Genius
Andy Barr - 12/08/2009
The best Edinburgh show for a while - not that the others were bad just that this one didn't have the customary dip in the middle. Bit pricey, though
Mike - 28/03/2009
Just saw him tonight at Sydney opera house in the Studio. Made the best of a 1/3rd full room, coping with a guy who was violently sick in one side of the room to make things a bit more eventful. I only heard that he was playing 5 days before so he needed more publicity, but he was pure genius for an hour and a half, both as Rich and Otis. Very quick, and great sarcastic wit. Well worth it.
Ray Girling - 22/09/2008
Saw Rich at the Trinity in Tunbridge Wells last Friday (19.09.08). A really good, varied, clever, funny and topical set. The second half (Otis) was as good in a different way. Highly recommended!
Samragi - 24/05/2008
I watched Rich in Derby a few weeks ago. I thought he was funny, dark, emotive - and engaging. I would love to see him again. Not sure I like the Otis bit. I prefer just Rich. I love the grating voice, the grumpiness, and the amazing talent Rich has for sarcasm, and sometimes real kindness and an ability to relate to everyone. Impressive.
Jimbo - 25/02/2007
This guy is amazingly funny, and easily had me laughing more throughout his routine than I normally would in a week!
Charlie - 04/06/2006
Comedy genius - consistly funny and inventive
Mike L - 30/05/2006
Probably the best comic on the circuit at the minute. He played Headliners in Chiswick and went 20 minutes over his 20minuteset.. People were so desparate to keep him on stage one of the punters bought him a fresh beer and brought it to him. Pure class
Daniel Gray - 18/05/2006
Rich Hall and Otis Lee Crenshaw - amazing. Every George Throrogood song mixed together into an ugly package
Mond - 15/02/2006
No one has the right to be this funny. I've seen him several times now and I'm constantly amazed at the way his brain works and as if he isn't funny enough, he's Moe Sizlack made flesh. The wittiest American since Woody Allen, thank god he's damn ugly.
Miket to The G - 07/02/2006
Fabulous. Fishing Show and Cattle Drive need a DVD release urgently. Why they stick them on BBC 4 during the wee small hours is beyond me.
Spanny - 29/01/2006
His material isn`t all that good but his act is saved by his deadpan delivery
Roshni - 19/01/2006
I think those Sniglets that Rich Hall compiled/invented are just amazing! Thanks so much for giving me an hour of pure fun and enjoyment.
Fred Mac - 30/11/2005
Brilliant mix of wit and music is unbeatable. Spontaneous kebab man song about a guy called Peter I heard in Tunbridge Wells made my year.
Dave Horby - 28/11/2005
A true comic genius, Rich Hall is one of the best standup acts of his generation. Don't miss any opportunity to catch him live.
Jay - 23/11/2005
So many people in stitches..I worry about the cost to the medical industry. But yes, I'd pay to see him.
Phil - 21/11/2005
Saw Rich Hall this weekend in God's waiting room - Bournemouth. Very funny set, if you see one comedian this year make it this man.
- 03/11/2005
Saw the first night of his current tour and he delivered a professional, excellent set. One of those intelligent comics that I could listen to all night. Superb stuff.
Crossley - 25/10/2005
By far one of the most under-rated comedians I've ever seen, I watched an episode of Room 101 with him in it and i was in stitches during the whole episode, loved the song he performed at the end as well, the lyrics were just pure genius.
Leanne - 11/10/2005
Saw Rich Hall on TV for the first time last night. Ive never laughed so much. How has he not conquered the earth yet?
Jose - 25/08/2005
Most underrated comedian ever.
- 14/07/2005
One of the funniest people I've ever seen in my life. Rich Hall is truly a comedy legend and has had me in stitches laughing many times. His appearances and comic contibutions on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, were also hiarious.
Charles Thomson - 05/07/2005
Brilliant. He performed for twenty minutes as a warm up act at the recording of Jack Dee's new series and brought the house down. The audience loved him.
- 23/04/2005
Fantastic. We saw him at the Brisbane Powerhouse two years ago. He sang this hilarious song about all the suburbs in Brisbane, true genius. I laughed so much that it felt like I had face full of Botox it was that numb.
Bill - 23/02/2005
The funniest man in the media these days. His series on the BBC (especially the episodes on "Love" and "Freedom" are classics and the most irreverent stuff to come out of the US for decades.
Bobby Mills - 31/03/2004
We must see more of Rich on TV, he's the funniest man alive!
Isla - 16/02/2004
Daniel - 01/12/2003
Reminds me of Moe the bartender from the Simpsons, which is no bad thing.
Penelope Wood - 28/11/2003
Rich Hall's Fishing Show on BBC4 is absolutely hilarious. I have always found him drolly amusing, but this series is an absolute must.
Matt - 19/10/2003
This guy is the goods, he is funny in ways that they don't have proper names for.
Penguin - 05/09/2003
I have watched Rich Hall on TV too many times to count and have had my sides split every time. Very painful. Huge medical bill. Either way, he is one of the funniest comedians on stage today and those who disagree have no taste or sence of humour.
Tanya - 05/08/2003
The funniest man alive. No one else can leave me in such stitches.
Ron Joe Swampgas - 30/11/-0001
Worthless shite. He wasn't funny back in the '80s and from what I can see, continues the sorry trend. He is long forgotten in the States, and bloody good riddance! Sniglets, my arse! He is a born-again "angry comic," not unlike that other sorry loser that has a cult following, Bill Hicks. Bile and self-hate will eat you alive too, Rich. Should I be the least bit surprised that a guy who calls himself Swampgas blows so much smoke up the ass of the world? Save the methane my friend...you are depleting the ozone layer.

Sarah's Smackdown
In the aftermath of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's announcement earlier this month that she plans to resign from office, pundits have been scrambling for an explanation.
Heather Robinson and Jennifer Ginsberg: Personally, the whole matter has left me feeling a little like I did at the end of seventh grade, after a year spent passively watching bullies ostracize and pick on one of the only black girls in the school: sick, and embarrassed for us all. As women and mothers, we should be particularly ashamed of ourselves. Women who have participated in this smear-fest have reinforced every nasty stereotype of female bitchiness and cattiness at its worst. Whatever your passionate opinions, whatever your disagreements with her views, this woman and her family were savaged in a manner that went beyond any reasonable standard. She is a public figure, but her husband and children are not.
We got ridiculing of Mrs. Palin's appearance, of her decades-old participation in a beauty pageant, and even of her children, which was especially cruel. Self-proclaimed "feminists" made a blood sport of hating and dehumanizing her. Any moms who jumped on the "bashing Sarah bandwagon" need to take pause and ask themselves how they would feel if they were in her shoes. Can you imagine being publicly ostracized for the way you look, for your opinions, or for your parenting choices? Can anyone say junior high school?
Personally, I do not agree with all of Governor Palin's views, such as her absolutist pro-life position. But such vicious hatred on the part of self-described feminists was an embarrassment. Especially from self-proclaimed liberals whose entire platform is based on the premise of decency and kindness. I suppose tolerance is only offered to people whose opinions match theirs exactly!
Then there is the matter of how the media treated Mrs. Palin's family, especially her children. How sad that normal people may no longer wish to run for or hold public office due to this horrific sort of exposure, including abuse of their children.
Again, I am asking all mothers to honestly ask themselves this question: Is this the sort of behavior you wish to model for your children? How much of our own anxiety as women is derived from the feeling that we are being judged by other moms, and we are somehow messing up at the monumental task of motherhood? Whether we breastfeed too long or not long enough, whether our child sleeps through the night or is a nocturnal beast, it seems like we can't get it right from the very start. When we are met with challenges, we feel scared, confused, and uncertain, and what we need in those moments is kindness, not criticism. Mrs. Palin had a particularly difficult set of circumstances and was faced with choices none of us would wish for. I am certain we can all relate to her on some level, whether or not we can admit it.
Am I alone in feeling that ridicule of a disabled infant, and rape threats, represent a new low? How intensely cruel and hypocritical this behavior was, coming from "feminists" and "progressives" who probably don't realize how many conservatives they are helping to create, as anyone with a moral compass is likely to figure that, if that's how liberals argue, maybe I'll consider conservative ideas, thanks. No matter how strongly you disagree with Mrs. Palin, this type of behavior is simply inexcusable.
I shudder to think that the women who participated in these attacks are actually raising children.

McCain/Palin lost by a large margin and tons of people were dissing Palin. I'm not saying it was ever right, but it was happening. Now there's this big uproar about treating Palin with decency, even from people who disagree with her views. Why do I get the feeling that some people used to bash her and now feel bad about what that bashing has turned into? Yes, bashing band wagons are no fun. But flipping that around into a bash-the-bashers band wagon is equally no fun. Not to mention ridiculous.
I totally agree with you. Thank you as I've been waiting for an article like this. I like Sarah and her family does not derserve the attacks… at all. She is a wonderful individual, beautiful inside and out, a great mom and wife and a talented and smart politician.
She ran and was voted into a public office..yes the media was harsh, but that is a consideration that has to be taken into effect PRIOR to taking the job. I feel for the people of Alaska who have been let down by Sarah Palin because it simply got too tough…I don't agree at all with the attacks on the kids, but the media isn't doing to her what they haven't done to other women as well. She owed it to the people of Alaska to finish and not run out of office because the media got mean and nasty..
Personally I still think she is going to pop back up in the spotlight with a show or a series and that for me will negate her cry of the media made me do it…can't have it both ways.
As a Republican I so wanted to be behind her, but she made that impossible with her own actions.
this article totally put women back in time. Palin, played hardball and used her children when it was convenient and when it backfires cries. please, and far as the person that wrote about William Ayers, If my work cause me to work with a rapist I pall around with rapist - get over the lost and grow up. Are you cousins with Obama and know something the world don't know about him." I can't wait until they find out about him" Your stupidity is showing.
I don't think you can reasonably criticize feminists for being appalled at Sarah Palin's behavior and politics. She is anti-feminist. While I understand the author's point, I don't think broad generalizations are appropriate. There have been plenty of female politicians that have not been attacked like Palin, mostly because none of them have been quite so ridiculous. As a mother, I wouldn't want my daughter to emulate that woman in any way; Condoleeza Rice, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Madeliene Albright, Carla Bruni, yes. Palin? No.
GREAT article Jennifer & Heather! Two thumbs up for a new generation of women's women! I'm all done w/these old & ugly gloria steinem feminists types who pick & choose what women are worthy of their support & attention. You're all washed up ye 'ol bags. Now move your over inflated everything. This new generation of feminine muscle & distinction is not going to tolerate your shallow platitudes any more. Visit me on Twitter @ jenny_lynn
I have seen some pretty bad articles on Palin right here on MomLogic and that vile video someone had their toddler make about Bush, so when a friend sent me this I almost didn't want to even visit this site.
I couldn't agree more with what you have said and feel your article was real "Mom Logic"!
Actually when women attack Sarah Palin it displays true feminist independence. Palin is attacked because she deserves it. She is a buffoon attempting to pass for a serious political force worthy of people's trust. She is deceitful and a liar. She uses the basest pandering for personal political gain and it is all too obvious. So women who attack her are taking care of their own. She gives women a bad name. Her agenda is to dupe people into supporting her only because she is a woman. She had no worthy qualifications. When women attack her they are standing up for all women and saying this is not who we are. This is an anomaly and not worthy of anyone's respect, and especially not of thinking women.
Fine info. Very helpful, very informative and easy to understand.
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one's own powers. This is not to say that we should abandon every goal endorsed by society; rather, it means that, in addition to or instead of the goals others use to bribe us with, we develop a set of our own.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
I have been after the WWW for such info and just wanted to say thanks to u for this post. BTW, just off topic, where can i find a copy of this theme? – Regards
Great article and right to the point. I don't know if this is really the best place to ask but do you people have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thank you :)
I simply want to mention I am just very new to blogging and site-building and actually savored you're web page. Probably I'm going to bookmark your site . You really have really good posts. Thanks a lot for revealing your website.
A really good set of info which I will be certainly coming back to read again. Thanks very much to all those who contribute.
I'd come to play ball with you here. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
Hi, i think that i saw you visited my site so i came to "return the favor".I am trying to find things to enhance my web site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!

In its early years, Magoo's Grill was, in its staff's own words, a "nondescript local watering hole." Twenty-five years later, the entrance twinkles with holiday lights, welcoming guests into an open space with dark-wood floors and deep, cozy booths. The kitchen staff hand crafts half-pound burgers, sealing in their juices by broiling them over an open flame. To make Magoo's signature sandwiches, chefs also grill chicken breasts and tri-tip steaks, which get topped with cheese or applewood-smoked bacon. Meals can be paired with a selection of microbrews or specialty drinks, such as Magoo's melon margarita, made with melon liqueur and lime juice.
sustainable small plate dining with a wine bar in the East Bay. A nice neighborhood hangout for wine or dinner or just a glass of bubbly and dessert.
Zambur Bar & Grill's masterful menu makers welcome visitors by handing them plates filled with kebabs, seafood, pub fare, and more. Begin the tasting session with sambosa, a puffy pastry indwelt by spicy potato eats ($4.95). Or, promise your mouth hot wings ($5.95), but then surprise it instead with battered crab cakes ($6.95) paired with a frothy brew from Zambur's full bar.
Hookahs are designed with hanging out in mind: the slowly-burning patty encourages users to sit and chat for a while as they draw slow breaths. Wicked Mirage's comfortable atmosphere, therefore, is the perfect complement to its ornate water pipes. With weekly poetry readings and frequent game-watching sessions, the lounge's calendar seems to have something for everyone?though many just opt for a simple night with friends or a complicated night with enemies. When it's time to inhale, patrons consult a 70-flavor shisha menu. Its varieties include classic smoke flavors, like jasmine and lemon-mint, as well as more inventive blends, like Wicked Candy's sorbet melon and "Pirate's Cove."
Husband and wife team and dog enthusiasts Dan and Catarina Callen founded Barka Lounge as a place for dogs to exercise, socialize, and get spruced up comfortably and safely. An indoor, climate-controlled facility, Barka Lounge greets pups with a completely cage-free environment, as well as spacious areas in which to play during daycare and longer stays. Staff remains on duty at all times, and extended weeknight and weekend hours cater to owners with busy schedules.
In the kaleidoscopic glow of ubiquitous neon lights, a bartender stirs blood orange vodka martinis for four guests at a table laden with tapas dishes. A DJ from Las Vegas spins progressive house music, sending bass thrumming through the entire club. This is a nightly scene at the ultra modern Redux Lounge, which gracefully blurs the line between hot nightclub and elegant tapas restaurant. In the afternoons before Redux shape shifts into a club, the kitchen grills seafood, tapas, and kebabs, often pairing them with one of Redux' house wines or martinis. At 10:00 p.m., the party starts. Disc jockeys fly in on magic carpets from LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco to spin tunes spanning the last 70 years of pop music. Redux' intelligent LED lighting system syncs up with every syncopation, flashing over the dance floor to the beat of the music. Outside on two heated outdoor patios, barkeeps mix gourmet cocktails for lounging guests. The kitchen stays open until close (2 a.m.) to fuel private parties in VIP areas and excited cheers in the sports lounge. Caterers also rush out through the bustling lounge, toting drinks and food to special events.

After selling off just about every player with anything resembling major league talent, the Miami Marlins have actually signed someone. Yes, they're bringing in two-time All-Star third baseman Placido Polanco, but the deal is only for a single season.
Yunel Escobar promised to be the strip-mined Miami Marlins' most interesting player next year. The Cuban shortstop had loads of talent, plus an unmatched ability to act incredibly dumb -- like last season, when he was suspended for writing the anti-gay slur "Tu Ere Maricon" on his eyeblack.Well, Esc ...

One year after the taxpayers of Miami-Dade gave Jeffrey Loria a brand new, $560 million ballpark, he's already given up even pretending to field a major league baseball team. In one of the largest salary dumps in the history of baseball, the Marlins are reportedly shipping basically every player on ... More >>

We caught the Snoopy ice show at Knott's on the passholder preview day. It was a fun summer show. We've only seen the Snoopy holiday ice show in the past -- this one is more sexy (but still okay for kids) and not as unified in theme. Still, the sets, music, and skating are all top-notch.
Even more fun at Knott's was Boomtown, their Old West version of cirque acrobats, new this summer. A 20 to 30 minute version of a Cirque du Soleil show with gags, a loose story, and impressive acrobatics. Not for people who hate cirque shows, but a nice condensed version themed to its Ghost Town location.
I quite enjoyed the "Mickey and the Magical Map" show. The musical numbers were very good, but the story portion featuring Mickey Mouse is rather tedious. The painting of the "dot" became the main trust of the story. There was nothing magical about this storyline. Nonetheless, when I saw it, there was a technical glitch that delayed the show for 5 minutes.
Aladdin is still the best theme park show. Knott's ice skating show is the second best. Sea World's cirque show is good, but I prefer the dolphin show as the best show at Sea World San Diego. The Samu evening show with fireworks is better than the daytime show.
The bugs didn't seem worked out in early June, though. I saw it three times over the course of about a week, and the first time the show took a ten-minute delay when a prop was not in place on stage for Mickey--it seemed like the production was figuring out the right place to synch the audio and video around the point where the show had stopped.
The third time I saw the show, the screen had been showing a weird computer message off and on during the show. With about ten minutes remaining, the production came to a stop. After the audience waited for 5 or 10 minutes, the P.A. came back on and said the rest of the show had been cancelled.

This summer will mark the 5th and 4th anniversaries of our girls adoptions and, as of this writing, I've never spent one single night away from them.
Okay, that's not entirely true. I did spend the night at the hospital with Maddy when she had her surgery and Gwen stayed home with Daddy. It wasn't a good night for her and it ended with lots of crying and vomit. Naturally, Daddy's not in a hurry to repeat the experience so it looks like I'll never be able to spend a night away. I'm not complaining about missing "Mom's Night Out" with my girlfriends. I'm just sorry to miss friends weddings and funerals and other big life events. If money and time weren't a factor, I could take the whole family to these things but obviously money and time are factors.
I guess my question is: How can they ever learn that "Mommy always comes back" if Mommy never leaves?

(So my mistake, this actually originally aired last year. Regardless, there's a direct link to a nice iDevice compatible mp4, 370mb, 51 minutes long)
So wait, Sam watched a sports documentary and liked it? Well it's not really a sports documentary, it's a cultural look at a date when a number of sports-related things happened. The focus is on the pursuit and arrest of accused murderer Orenthal James "O. J." Simpson. The documentary also presents the various other sporting events that were coincidentally happening that day, and how they dealt with this story.
Running the numbers on this, I was only 7 at the time, so, as it turns out, I didn't actually know/remember as much of this story as I thought I did. Which is good, because the entire story is told through news footage. No talking head interviews, no experts, no celebrities reflecting back, just raw footage.
And what a strange look at the day it is. The director makes the case that this was the start of our fascination with "reality television", and it would be hard to argue with that. Just the sheer amount of news coverage that must have been available to cut this together is a testament to that. So stop reading, go watch this, and further your fascination.
Oh, also, Bob Costas is an upstanding journalist beyond reproach.

September 7, 1533: Elizabeth I is born.
The future Queen Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the Tudor Dynasty, was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was executed in 1536. By the Second Succession Act, passed by Parliament that same year, she and her half-sister Mary were removed from the line of succession, although both were returned to the line by the Third Succession Act; though she was an illegitimate child for most of her early childhood, Elizabeth enjoyed a first-class education and was a favorite (as were all of Henry's children) of Catherine Parr, the king's sixth and final wife.
She became queen at age 25, following the death of Mary I in late 1558. Although not free from problems, which she dealt with mostly with pragmatism and moderation, her forty-four year reign is often described as a "Golden Age": the arts and particularly theatre flourished (at the head of this flowering stood the era's foremost playwrights, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare); the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 granted the English a great sense of national pride; there was comparatively little internal religious strife; and the first seeds of the British American colonies were planted during her reign. She never married, and therefore never produced heirs, and so, following her death in 1603, the throne passed to the Scottish Stuarts.

Profile Rated 1x · see all
Well I think I have pretty much summed myself up, feel free to fire away any questions that you have. I am a THE hotel in Cabarete, Dominican Republic waiting for someone like you to come down, surf, skate, kite, drink, eat...and maybe a little sleep. Come down and meet me and see for yourself...I won't let you down.
I enjoy when crazy people from all over the world come and stay here...kiting, skating, surfing, drinking, eating. Then the next day talk about everything that happened the day before, and what we are going to do today. If only the walls could tell stories of of all the things that have happened on this piece of Cabarete...probably not a good idea. Anything action based interest me, and Cabarete has got it all. The hotel can offer you everything you can wish for (skating, kiting, surfing, paintball, wakeboarding, mtn. biking, paragliding, windsurfing, motocross)..did I miss anything? And you can always stay in touch with your friends and give them shit for sitting at home in an office while your on the beach, free wireless internet from the front of the hotel to the back, and live webcams...just dont give the address to your boyfriend or girlfriend. :) The website is under construction, but most functions still work. http://www.extremehotels.com

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Why responsive web design will be even more important in 2013
To succeed online, business, organisations, charities and even individuals need understand the importance of responsive web design. Usability is everything, content is king and those that don't realise this are potentially doomed to failure.
These were the messages the digital marketing industry was sending out with full force during 2012, and following the demise of several well-known high street stores, blamed heavily on the reluctance to invest in their online offerings (or in some cases, pushed out of the industry by bigger companies that are doing it well), more and more people are starting to understand how important this information is for online success in 2013.
The crux of the issue is realising the importance of good web design and how it can help achieve specific goals, whether that is making more money as a retailer or creating a compelling personal profile. Well designed websites are easy to navigate, give the right information to the visitor at the right time and make the path to purchase or enquiry as simple as possible with as few steps as necessary.
Typical obstacles to the path of completion – from initial visit to conversion – are: difficult navigation, lengthy contact forms, hidden information such as hard to find delivery costs, or product specifications and also bad design. By trying to understand any given website from a new user perspective, it is possible to see how someone may become frustrated and leave, or how they might think that low quality images mean an untrustworthy site.
To make the point more clear – it is essential to understand that the Internet is a virtual high street, and a website is a virtual shop window – the same care and attention to detail must apply to ensure that people will find your website (shop or office) attractive, that once they are inside they can find what they want, that they can ask a question and get an answer if they need help, and most importantly, once they are there – they will convert (buy or register).
By understanding the online environment in this way, it is easy to see how an attractive website will attract customers and clients – it is just the same as a good lick of paint and a tidy business space with helpful staff on hand. There is however one more thing to bear in mind – the competition.
Businesses and organisations with a physical presence can gain an advantage over competitors by having a better location, a bigger space, better access or even free parking. On the Internet, everyone is on a level pegging, so how can one website outshine another? The answer is by being better than the competition.
Competitor analysis is key to ensuring that your website is shining brighter than the next shop or business along. It is no secret that it takes just a fraction of a second for a visitor to decide whether they will stay on your site or leave, so your site better look good; and any obstacles in the path to completion will see them try the next option along in search results. This year more people than ever will opt for finding what they need online, and the business savvy will make sure it is them.

Summary: A harrowing, remarkable poetry memoir about one girl's struggle with anxiety disorder. This is a true story of growing up, breaking down, and coming to grips with a psychological disorder. When Samantha Schutz first left home for college, she was excited by the possibilities -- freedom from parents, freedom from a boyfriend who was reckless with her affections, freedom from the person she was supposed to be. At first, she revelled in the independence ... but as pressures increased , she began to suffer anxiety attacks that would leave her mentally shaken and physically incapacitated. Thus began a hard road of discovery and coping, powerfully rendered in this poetry memoir.

State Police investigate bomb threat at Dinwiddie County Airport
DINWIDDIE - Virginia State Police were at the Dinwiddie County Airport yesterday investigating a bomb threat.
State Police responded shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday, when the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office received a call from an airport employee who encountered a male suspect at the airport.
The suspect stated to the employee that there was a bomb inside the airport terminal, police said.
The suspect, who is described as an Hispanic male, was last seen traveling north toward U.S. Route 460 on a moped. The suspect is approximately 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, with dark hair. He was wearing a dark shirt and blue jeans, and a back pack.
The airport and runways were open last night, but the terminal was closed. Canine units and bomb technicians searched the terminal, but no suspicious device was found.
The FAA and the Department of Homeland Security were contacted.
The state police investigation is on-going with the assistance of the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office. Anyone with information is asked to call the state police at 804-553-3445.

There are new faces as well as ones we've seen in past years presenting works in a variety of media including acrylics, watercolors, graphite, oils, photography, leather, silver and other metals, antlers, and beads providing something for everyone and, perhaps, sparking your interest in something new.
Participating Artists include:
*Student Artists - At least a dozen talented and very creative young folks from the surrounding area are planning to display their fine works during the show, as well. Many of these pieces will be for sale. This year, our student artists range in age from seven years old to college age. Take time to see these kids' thoughtful and imaginative works.
Musical interlude - On July 2nd and 3rd, we've added music in the art show tent for your listening enjoyment. The musical duo of Bill Coleman and David Higginbotham will be playing soft tunes in the art tent from 4:00 to 7:00 on the 2nd, 3:00 to 6:00 on the 3rd . Take this opportunity to soothe your nerves and enjoy the art experience prior to heading out for the rodeo performance.
Collectible items and posters continue to be popular with our patrons and may be purchased at the show.
Hall of Fame - The art tent hosts a colorful display of historical items and photos from the St. Paul Rodeo.
Come and help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Wild West Art Show. A special "thank you" to DJ Classics for continuous participation and to the thousands of patrons who have attended and encouraged us during our first 20 years! We couldn't have done it without you!!
We're hoping to see you in the tent… we'll be watching for you!

Hi I have an 06 Outback XT. This site looks like a great resource for things I would like to do like lowering a bit (same as 2.5GT?) upgrade of the stereo (I have heard that in Japan the face is not integral with the heater controls so you can replace the stereo- would like to find out about that retrofit) and other stuff.
But for now, look at the attached picture. The paint on the hood is fading in places. I took it to the Dealer where I bought it new and he said that it was a clear coat issue and was probably something that had gotten on the car. He suggested a buff with a mild cutting compound. Now looking at it, this doesn't make sense to me- the clear coat seems fine. Before I start cutting I was wondering if there are similar experiences out there? And/ or suggestions?

Debate continues over a sales tax increase in Missouri after a bill makes it's way to the state senate.
Missouri's legislature looks into slashing income taxes for individuals and business while increasing sales tax.
The Republican led House of Representatives passed the bill last week and now it is the Senate's turn.
Supporters say slicing state income tax will help Missouri stay competitive with states like Kansas.
But opponents says imposing a higher sales tax that would fund schools and roads puts an unfair burden on lower income individuals.
"I think the fear here is with those states having lower income taxes people are going to move, or businesses are not going to come to Missouri, if they can go somewhere else where their employees can enjoy lower income tax and I think that is probably the impendence for this bill," says Nii Adote Abrhams, a professor of economics at Missouri Southern State University.
The bill was passed in the House by a 90-68 vote, which is not enough to override a governor's veto if passed in the senate.
Governor Nixon has come out against similar proposals in the past.
While people for the change think it will help businesses stay competitive, others say increasing sales tax may put an unfair burden on those who can least afford the higher sales tax.
"What is going to get affected?" asks Abrhams. "Higher education, public education, K-12, social programs. What is going to get affected? So, you know, in economics we say there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you're going to get less revenue then something's got to give, so that's what you have to look at in terms of the Devil being in the details."
If passed it will be the biggest change to Missouri tax code in the last century.

Spartan NFL Combine Preview
40-yard dashThe 40-yard dash is the marquee event at the combine. It's kind of like the 100-meters at the Olympics: It's all about speed, explosion and watching skilled athletes run great times. These athletes are timed at 10, 20 and 40-yard intervals. What the scouts are looking for is an explosion from a static start.
Bench pressThe bench press is a test of strength -- 225 pounds, as many reps as the athlete can get. What the NFL scouts are also looking for is endurance. Anybody can do a max one time, but what the bench press tells the pro scouts is how often the athlete frequented his college weight room for the last 3-5 years.
Vertical jumpThe vertical jump is all about lower-body explosion and power. The athlete stands flat-footed and they measure his reach. It is important to accurately measure the reach, because the differential between the reach and the flag the athlete touches is his vertical jump measurement.
Broad jumpThe broad jump is like being in gym class back in junior high school. Basically, it is testing an athlete's lower-body explosion and lower-body strength. The athlete starts out with a stance balanced and then he explodes out as far as he can. It tests explosion and balance, because he has to land without moving.
3 cone drillThe 3 cone drill tests an athlete's ability to change directions at a high speed. Three cones in an L-shape. He starts from the starting line, goes 5 yards to the first cone and back. Then, he turns, runs around the second cone, runs a weave around the third cone, which is the high point of the L, changes directions, comes back around that second cone and finishes.
Shuttle runThe short shuttle is the first of the cone drills. It is known as the 5-10-5. What it tests is the athlete's lateral quickness and explosion in short areas. The athlete starts in the three-point stance, explodse out 5 yards to his right, touches the line, goes back 10 yards to his left, left hand touches the line, pivot, and he turns 5 more yards and finishes.

If North Dakota State's football hadn't won back-to-back national championships and wasn't playing a good Big 12 team in its first game of the season, the condition of the Bison's practice field wouldn't have caught my eye. But the Bison are trying for their third straight Football Championship Subdivision title in 2013 and they are playing Kansas State, a perennial top 25 team, on Aug. 30. So the under-construction look of the team's practice fields just south of the Bison Sports Arena did catch my eye.
One of NDSU's football practice fields is in the midst of construction.
The Bison's practice facility consists of three side-by-side-by-side fields. They've historically been grass-covered. Currently, the middle field is torn up and will be finished with AstroTurf to give coach Craig Bohl's team the option of practicing on artificial grass. The Bison's home-field at the Fargodome is AstroTurf and, given Fargo's climate, practicing outdoors on grass isn't always the best option. So having a fake-grass practice makes sense.
Problem is, the field isn't finished yet and the Bison begin fall practice in less than 2 weeks.
Will it be ready? And will it affect the Bison's preparation for Kansas State?
"We are preparing for backup plans," athletic director Gene Taylor said in an e-mail. "The two grass fields could be used as well as Dacotah Field. We should be fine if the installation is not finished by the first day of practice, but it won't be ideal."
Dacotah Field is the former home field of Bison football and the current home of Bison soccer. It has an artifical surface.
Taylor said weather issues delayed work on the practice field.
"With the late spring and the June rain we received the ground was too wet to work on. When the ground finally dried enough the contractor was slow getting to our job," Taylor said. "AstroTurf will be sending a double crew to install the turf beginning on Thursday. They are estimating six to 10 days. We shall see on that estimation."
In the end, the Bison will be able to practice and whether or not they have their artificial surface ready by the opening gun will have little to do with whether or not they defeat Kansas State. But, football coaches are known to be incredibly uptight about such things and prefer to have strict organization and airtight plans once practice starts. I haven't talked with Bohl about this, but I'm guessing he would not disagree with that assessment.
Is this even a minor story if the Bison weren't the championship team they are? And if they were opening against Ferris State instead of Kansas State. No and No. But that is not life in the current Bison fish bowl.

He wakes up after a three-month coma to find that he sees everything upside-down - literally. Unaware of whether the condition is medical or a result of karmic retribution, Tul begins to have second thoughts about his profession. When he tries to quit, roles are reversed, and the hunter becomes the hunted. Then he meets a girl who upends the stakes. Can Tul find redemption from the violence that continues to haunt him?

This night, I will not forget. My husband called me with urgency to come home quickly. Our adult son was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia. He struggled with non adherence of medicine, quite common in people with brain disorders, like an injury, not because they are defiant, but a manifestation of the illness called anosognosia. Mental illness came on suddenly, two years of behaviors we did not understand, which escalated. It is a thief that stole the very person we knew. We are still grieving.
The unpredictable is becoming predictable. Adults with mental illness, left untreated, are a challenge for family life. It is no crime to be homeless, to be out of your mind, and wander aimlessly unstable. Mental illness steals intimacy from family relationships. As parents, we are often left alone to get him to the hospital, because he cannot be forced. He has rights. Police intervention is frightening for families and often the police are unprepared to deal with psychological crisis. Our family will never give up on our son.
When I arrived, my son was frightened, afraid that people were going to harm him and harm our family. Anxious and agitated, he believes he has to leave. He called a taxi to take him to the airport so he can fly to New Mexico and his bag is packed, though he knows nobody in New Mexico. We are concerned because he left for two months once.
Tonight, I'm quiet, stalling, offering him tea. While my husband talked with him, I ran outside to dial 911, without our son's knowledge. Dispatch informed me that they couldn't force him to go to the ER. In frustration, I said goodbye. Meanwhile my son ran out back with a rope, with my husband following him closely. I was unaware of this. Dispatch called again, confirming an officer visited the previous night at my request and all had been well. I assured him that all was not well now.
Convinced his food was contaminated with feces, he was hallucinating. Last week, I woke to find the doors locked and dead bolted. A week ago there were high frequencies in his room, and he was going outside to sleep under the porch in 30 degree weather. I told him I only heard his clock radio. Later he returned to his room. Tonight, we all ended up on the front porch, my son smoking and scared. He agreed reluctantly to go to the ER with me. After I left, an officer arrived, annoyed that we had concerned him with this matter. Next time we needed to call a crisis hotline. He told my husband to look it up online while he observed over his shoulder.
The journey was slow motion. Focused on driving, I listened, no advice, no agenda, just de-escalation. My son is kind, smart, an athlete, and achieved so much before his diagnosis. He became involved with religion, became rigid, lost jobs, lost friends, isolated from family, until his first suicide attempt which was shocking for us. Our son is forever changed. The loss has been painful, but we are slowly learning to accept our new norm.
A 45 minute drive with the gas gauge empty, I panicked. If I stopped for gas, he may jump from the car. If I locked the doors, he would hear that and may be more afraid. No radio, no distractions. He was unstable, but deep in thought, fidgeting. He has cigarettes. My car is smoke free but tonight I asked him if he wants to smoke. "Can I?" he asked. "Yes, Light up." I encouraged him to smoke often to ease the drive.
The FBI and tiny cameras watching our every move was a topic he discussed. How does he know this? He has seen them he said. They look like little whistles and flutes with wings. The world was a bad place and we were all going to Hell. How can God be the Devil? How can that be true? He confessed he did not believe in God any more. I asked him why. He told me he was unsure of everything, what was real and what was not. I was so afraid for him and tormented that my son was tormented. How did all this happen?
Oh no, a red light. "Let's do something quirky, and meditate sitting Indian style and touch foreheads together in that parking lot?" he asked. I was anxious but I explained I was afraid because it appeared closed and dark. Good, green light.
If I could only get to the ER before I ran out of gas. We pulled into the parking garage. Please wait for me son. Getting out, he asked if we could meditate in the parking lot. I humored him and agreed as we sat between parked cars. He wondered if I was his soul mate, and said something inappropriate. I said we needed to go. Walking towards the elevator, we put our arms around each other. He replied he was unsure of the whole hospital thing and didn't think he wanted to do it. I replied he needed someone to at least take a look at him and if OK, we can leave. I sensed this may become a challenge.
Exiting the elevator, he froze. He told me he couldn't go in there. He was fearful of being locked up. He needed to leave and find a safe place. We were alone and I could see the ER. "Please son, you need to come with me." Just then a female employee walked past us. She was my last resort. I spoke loudly so she heard me. "You need to speak with someone because you tried to hurt yourself." She stopped to assess the situation. I told her I could use some help. Slowly she moved closer, keeping a respectable distance and asked my son what was happening. He replied he was afraid to go to the ER because they might lock him up. I told her I was worried because he tried to hurt himself. She kept talking and looking back trying to lead him towards the ER as I followed behind my son. She assured my son that he would not be locked up and that security was there for everyone, not him. All he had to do was register and he could sit in the waiting room and he could get fresh air if needed.
My son signed into the ER, writing that he was "tired". The first crisis, two years ago, he scribbled "suicide". It was handled swiftly. This time, was different. He waited for a nurse to call him into the room. She asked if I wanted to join them. My son nodded yes. A short interview with vitals and he was transferred to a secure area. He was terrified that he would be skinned alive. I assured him I would stay with him the whole time. He told me that I could be skinned alive and also locked away. I repeated that I would stay with him. I would not leave him at all, unless he wanted me to leave. This was his third involuntary commitment within eighteen months. This journey has no compass but we strive for recovery. Thank you to the angel in the ER who helped more than she will ever know.

Property buyers who would like to add a little peace-of-mind to their lives often shop for a home in a gated community. Knowing that there is some measure of control over who can enter a neighborhood helps some property owners enjoy their new homes to the fullest. Tyler gated real estate features a variety of property and subdivision types, making it possible for just about any buyer to find a home in a gated subdivision when shopping in Tyler. Active adults may enjoy the homes in the gated Towne Oaks subdivision, and those who are in the market for a luxury estate will want to see the properties in Cook's Ranch. Lakeside property, golf course homes and condos can also be found in Tyler gated communities.

If you're a filmmaker with a movie… Before you accept some crappy distribution deal from a traditional movie distribution company – you might benefit form the following audio download. In this audio, I provide steps you can utilize to sell your movie without the middle-man.
Modern Moviemaking Explained
I believe video on demand distribution represents freedom for filmmakers. While there are many great sales agents and distributors, I am totally bothered by the sales agents and middle-men who have taken a bottom-feeding approach to VOD. These jerks make a living trying to sucker unsuspecting filmmakers into long term video on demand deals that suck. I put together the following video to express my disgust and also provide a new hope. As a modern moviemaker, there has never been a better time to make, market and sell your movies without the middle-man.
Sell Your Movie For Maximum Profit
Do you remember when the idea of making movies seemed like a far away dream? Do you remember when you first got the idea for your movie? Do you remember Your first day of production? Do you remember your first screening and how well everyone loved your work?
Filmmaker David Allen Talks Modern Moviemaking and VOD Distribution
Earlier this week, I caught wind of an indie production company based in Australia called Rapidfire Productions. This is a production company that operates as a self sustaining modern moviemaking business. They develop movies, get money, make their movies and through their own distribution arm, the company reaches the masses.
7 Step Filmmaking Formula For Selling Your Movie Online
As a feature filmmaker, one of the biggest problems YOU have is finding a traditional distribution deal (that actually makes sense) for your movie. With each passing day, we get closer and closer to a world where DVD sales channels are being replaced by video on demand. And while we are not there yet, after spending the greater part of last weekend watching streaming content on NetFlix and Hulu, I am now of the opinion that the days of DVD distribution are numbered.
Leverage Your Following | Sell Your Movie PT 7
Increase Web Traffic | Sell Your Movie PT 6
One secret I utilize is frequent press release submissions. Years ago, it was advised that you only wrote and submitted press releases when you had something newsworthy to say. But these days, in addition to targeting traditional news outlets, most press releases are included in search engine results. Without getting overly technical, this means for a very small amount of money, submitting one press release complete with links to your website can increase your web footprint.
Refine Your Trailer | Sell Your Movie PT 5
Take a look at your trailer. Is your trailer congruent with your hook and the marketing elements we covered earlier? If not, I suggest you recut and refine your trailer to make sure your marketing message is consistent. In doing this you will have to find the balance between showing enough to sell your movie and giving away so much that you spoil the story. And since your movie trailer will be posted on various websites, you should also add a title card with a link to your movie website.
