Carlos - Part Three
"This enthralling portrait of the terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal lasts for over five hours and doesn't contain a wasted minute." — Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph
Producer: Daniel Leconte
Screenplay: Olivier Assayas, Dan Franck
Photography: Yorick Le Saux, Denis Lenoir
Editors: Luc Barnier, Marion Monnier
In English, French, Spanish, Japanese, German, Arabic, Russian and Hungarian, with English subtitles
With: Edgar Ramirez (Ilich Ramirez Sanchez 'Carlos'), Alexander Scheer (Johannes Weinrich), Nora Von Waldstatten (Magdalena Kopp), Ahmad Kaabour (Wadie Haddad), Christoph Bach (Hans Joachim Klein 'Angie'), Rodney El-Haddad (Anis Naccache 'Khalid'), Julia Hummer (Gabriele Krochter-Tiedemann 'Nada'), Rami Farah ('Joseph'), Zeid Haman ('Youssef'), Tamal El-Jurdi (Kamal Al-Issawi 'Ali'), Fadi Abi Samra (Michel Moukharbal 'Andre'), Aljoscha Stadelmann (Wilfried Bose 'Boni')
Festivals: Cannes (Out of Competition) 2010
This extraordinary three-film epic, made for French television, was showcased out of competition in Cannes to a storm of acclaim.
"Bravura narrative filmmaking on a hugely ambitious scale, Carlos is a spectacular achievement. Tracing the rise and fall of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez [popularly known as Carlos the Jackal], the Venezuelan terrorist whose pro-Palestinian activities earned him global notoriety in the 70s and 80s, Olivier Assayas' sprawling yet incisive three-part epic compacts some 30-odd years of history into almost six hours of thrilling, kinetic, psychologically revealing portraiture… Dense in detail, rich in verisimilitude, displaying a focused grip on its material and fully trusting a smart audience to keep up, Carlos is, at 5 ½ hours, a marvel of concision, and for all its nonstop globe-trotting and language-switching, its energy rarely flags." — Justin Chang, Variety
"Dynamic, convincing and revelatory… In what is certainly his best work, French director Olivier Assayas adopts a fleet, ever-propulsive style that creates an extraordinary you-are-there sense of verisimilitude, while Edgar Ramirez inhabits the title role with the arrogant charisma of Brando in his prime. It's an astonishing film… Carlos enters deep and dangerous waters as it takes on biography (of a still-living figure), international politics, terrorism, history, religion, sex and much more and handles all the issues with staggering dexterity, intelligence and skill." — Todd McCarthy, indieWIRE

Good Grades Are Not Enough
by Bob Roth - Nov, 2013
College students should be aware that employers look for much more than just good grades. Employers believe that well-rounded students who have had a broad range of on-campus and off-campus work and learning experiences tend to perform at a higher level than students whose experiences and performance were limited to classroom. The best employers seek students who have proved that they can excel in more than one environment....
A Letter to My 20-Year-Old Careerist Self About What Really Matters
by Karen Vitale - Mar, 2013
It's a classic Catch-22—with a careerist twist. When facing big decisions early in your career, you don't have tons of real-world experience to draw upon. And by the time you've actually racked up a decent supply of workplace wisdom, you may feel like you no longer need career advice. If only career tracks came with fast-forward and rewind buttons. (Or a blue police call box, for those who like to time travel in style.) Wh...
Why English Majors Don't Have to Finish Last
by Jay Cross - Feb, 2013
What if my degree isn't marketable?" I have always been fascinated by the assumptions behind this question. They get echoed back to us in remarks like: "Ugh, what are you going to do with philosophy?" "You majored in psych? Enjoy grad school for the rest of your life." "Hell of a job market out there for that English degree!" Someone has apparently decided that math, science and engineering are the only majors th...
Is Your College Committed
by Bob Roth - Jan, 2013
What does it look like when your college is fully committed to student employment success? As they say, "You will know it when you see it." When your college is fully committed to student employment success, everyone in the entire college community (not just the Career Services Office) is both responsible for and accountable for helping students learn about, prepare for, find and land good jobs. Therefore, if you are...
Yesterday I received a call from a community college out east. They may want to hire me to provide a motivational presentation to their undecided fema
by Joan Runnheim Olson - Jan, 2013
Yesterday I received a call from a community college out east. They may want to hire me to provide a motivational presentation to their undecided female students sharing the benefits of nontraditional careers, i.e., male-dominated. What a great idea! Many female students enter college undecided about what major to pursue, and ultimately, what career path to choose. These students range from 18-year olds to those in their 40Œs...
Choosing a Career Training Program? Evaluate These 3 Key Support Services
by Marcia Robinson - Nov, 2012
As a new immigrant to the United States in the mid 1980's I searched for a career training program that would augment my job skills. My goal was to transition quickly into the job market. As I evaluated programs I learned that choosing a career training program was not just about the academics. Choosing a program was also about key support services the school offered. After looking at both 4-year and 2-year programs, I chose a...
If the Job Doesn't Fit, You Must … Well … Quit
by Hallie Crawford - Nov, 2012
I had a great conversation with Jamie Harrison at Black Enterprise magazine recently. She wrote a very interesting article, If the Job Doesn't Fit, You Must … Well … Quit, about knowing how to evaluate job opportunities and whether they're a fit for you! This is a process that's different for every individual, so keep that in mind. Here are some additional thoughts I wanted to share with you… 1) GET A JOB: As a college stu...
Seven Reasons Why College Students Become Unemployed or Underemployed
by Bob Roth - Nov, 2012
In recent years, the sad fact is that fifty percent of all college grads have been unable to land good jobs. The reasons for this statistic can be traced to a variety of reasons including the economy and a poor understanding of the employment process. Too many students fail to follow the steps that are most likely to lead to employment success. They prefer to ignore their employment goals until the senior year. Since gat...
Can You Have Your Dream Job Without a College Degree?
by Dana Sitar - Oct, 2012
In a market where clients are used to measuring your worthiness based on a college degree, opportunities can feel slim for those without that traditional seal of approval. You know you've got the skills to master your dream job, but the description on job boards always has that pesky degree requirement that keeps you from applying. Without the paper to prove it, how can you show potential employers or clients that you've got w...
College Career Centers Are Challenged in Preparing Students for Work
by Alexandra Levit - Oct, 2012
The skills gap is getting wider. According to the Job Preparedness Indicator research conducted by the Career Advisory Board in late 2011, only 14 percent of hiring managers felt that job candidates had the requisite skills to fill open positions. At the Career Advisory Board, which is presented by DeVry University, our mission is to help job seekers and careerists advance, so we decided to go to the front lines and as...

Also, can't seem to find much information on the linear grate linear drain from ACO except for the following:
It states that the Intake sq. in. = 55.38 which is 60% more than the next nearest grate style "Flag". Cannot find any spec on "Linear" grate flow rate and I would assume that it would get more than the Flag based on a higher intake. Looking at a chart they have in their technical manual for flow rates at 0" head:
No grate = 6.65 usgpm
Tile = 6.49 usgpm (makes sense that it would be less given that it has blocked off some of the intake area with tile)
Flag = 6.34 usgpm
Now this is where I get confused. Flag has intake sq. in. = 31.36 while Tile has intake sq. in. = 18.10. Wouldn't you think the one with the larger intake area would be able to process more flow?
Now trying to estimate flow for the linear grate which is not shown and it has intake sq. in. = 55.38.
So either this is not the intake opening of the grate or something is not correct.
All these numbers come from page 16 of the technical manual:
Can anyone clarfiy? Thanks,

Thank you, son, for your vivid, colorful description. You are a gifted writer.
Agreed. He's a great asset to ASO. His student, Wynton Marsalis, would agree.
The Alabama Symphony performs at the festival Thursday night. Check out the Spring for Music link.
Best of luck, Victoria. You made a fine choice.
It was taken in Jemison Concert Hall, so it is probably one of our News photographers.

It's all free. Sorry you were confused.
Thanks for catching it. I'll get it changed.
You're right, F major. My eye flipped to the Debussy when I was writing. Thanks for pointing it out. As for stars, I prefer to rate the event on the overall experience, not just the performers. I stand by 3 stars.
It's Mr. Kaiser's mission to visiting all 50 states, Puerto Rico and DC with his "Arts in Crisis" presentation. Birmingham Children's Theatre hosted the Alabama event. Here's the item with that info from last Sunday's paper:

Winning Lotto ticket sold at Batavia store
By Linda Girardi For The Beacon-News December 19, 2012 1:58PM
Bonnie Rowlett from Batavia laughs with a customer on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at the 7-11 in Batavia that sold the $7 million winning lotto ticket. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 7, 2013 3:22PM
BATAVIA — Christmas arrived early for someone who shops at the 7-Eleven store on East Wilson Street.
Someone who purchased an Illinois Lotto ticket at the store won $7.25 million in Monday's drawing. The winner matched all six numbers on a Quick Pick ticket with a "shot." The numbers were 2-15-18-23-50-52.
"We are trying to rack our brains who the winner is," franchise owner Rickey Niedfeldt said.
But rather than a regular customer at the store at 336 E. Wilson St., "it could have been somebody passing through hoping the odds would be in their favor away from home," Niedfeldt said.
Customers at the store Wednesday morning included employees from the nearby Panera Bread bakery-café, Daddio's Diner and The Rhino Room all were stunned to learn somebody had actually won that much money from a ticket bought in Batavia.
Niedfeldt said he originally shrugged it off when a customer informed him that the 7-Eleven was listed on the official Illinois Lottery website as the winning store.
Niedfeldt said he and his wife Marlene have sold lottery tickets for the 25 years they have owned the convenience store in Batavia. He said somebody did win $10,000 from an instant scratch off some years back, but they were never expecting to really ever sell the ticket for such a big jackpot.
The franchise owner said an Illinois lottery representative posted a sign saying the Lotto ticket had been sold at his store. "It's a sign I never thought we would have," he said.
"Since we are a neighborhood store, we are hoping it is a neighborhood winner," Niedfeldt said. "Our regular customers are curious who the winner is."
7-Eleven check-out clerk Bonnie Rowlett said she worked Monday's morning shift but does not recall selling a Quick Pick with an extra shot.
"What a time to win. It's really a Christmas blessing," Rowlett said.
Customer Eric Ring, 28, said he already considers himself blessed because he was called back to work after being laid-off from Caterpillar in 2008. While the Batavian said he does not play the Lotto he decided to buy his instant scratch off tickets at the 7-Eleven.
"I figured this was a lucky store," he said.
"Hopefully the person who did win really needs it," Ring said.
Darice Augustine, assistant manager at Daddio's Diner in downtown Batavia, said there was a lot of speculation over who could be the winner during Wedneday's breakfast rush.
"Everybody's hoping it is someone they know and somebody from Batavia," Augustine said. "It's nice that it happened days before Christmas."
This is the second time within the year an Illinois Lottery player has hit the jackpot in Batavia. A Batavia resident, who the Lottery identified only as James B., claimed a $3 million prize in a St. Patrick's Day drawing in March. The ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven at 710 E. Fabyan Parkway

13721 Burbank Blvd, Van Nuys, CA | Directions 9140134.172416 -118.432152
Sat-Sun: 10am-2am, Mon-Fri: 12pm-2am, 2pm-7pm
Neighborhoods: Van Nuys, South Valley
Eaten here twice for the burgers. It's a dive bar, but the burgers are solid. Not the best, but solid.
Decent Irish pub – I like this place...it's cozy, has a definitely dive bar feel (but good clientele) and they have live music but at 6 bucks a pint I can't afford to drink here on a regular basis. They have a happy hour, but the beer is still 6 bucks a pint....WTF?? Also, sometimes their Guiness tastes a bit "off".....never a good thing for an Irish Bar! Maybe Colin Farrell needs to spend more time cleaning the lines?
The Smithwicks always tastes fresh though so I give them props for that.
Great Valley Secret – My friend's mother used to do Irish dance performances at this place when she was a kid; that's how long its been around! Comfortable atmosphere, incredibly friendly and experienced staff, and some great Irish beers and whiskeys. Live music almost every night, and incredible fish n chips round this place out for me. Crowded but not uncomfortable on Fri and Sat nights, and full of old Irish lads and 20's college students, this is an awesome, relaxed mixing of people and backgrounds. The only strange times were karaoke nights (check website for schedule), but they're not really for me anyway.
I have been reading the other reviews about Irelands 32. I am quite frankly confused What did you order for $11.00 ? I feel they may have been confused with another place. The prices are reasonable. The music has something for everyone. Authenticity well they have that too. If you know what you looking for it can be found there.
fun atmosphere, great live music – the band that was playing the night we went was so authentically an irish folk band it isnt even funny. my irish roommate played me some of his folk music and it sounded exactly the same. drinking a pint, watching rugby and listening to them made for an inexpensive trip to ireland. we loved it!
Real drinks, Real people, try the fish & chips and Guiness on tap – This bar is as authentic an Irish pub as you are going to find in the Valley. This is an Irish owned, Irish run, Craic lovin' bar. Great prices, even better bartenders and good atmospere. Lots of locals, but welcoming to newcomers. Yes, some of the bands can be a bit dull, but others are fantastic and they all manage to get the regulars up and dancing. The food is good. You have to try the FISH and CHIPS. Try the KNAPPOGUE single malt with a Guiness back and you won't be sorry. Vicki, Marty, Alan, Donal will not disappoint... and if you are looking for a real Irish sing-along, try Sunday evenings (you might just get lucky). The pretentious, trendy-worshipping crowd need not bother.
What's the big deal? – I heard nothing but good things about this place. But upon checking it out it's nothing that great. The bathroom is so small you'll knock the guy washing his hands in the back with the door. I spent eleven dollars on one drink. That's not including a tip. The bartender and waitress were fast with bringing drinks, the seats we had were good but The band that played was horrible. The music sucked. Bad picks from the early nineties. I was expecting to hear ricky martin livin lavita loca anysecond. This place was lame.
No frills and all character, this popping pub brings the Blarney to Burbank Boulevard. – The Scene
Harp signs, Killian flags and a Colin Farrell sound-alike bartender help create the closest thing to Dublin one can find in the Valley. Sports are playing constantly, with TVs situated so every seat boasts good sightlines. Open pretty much all day, the stools are often occupied by regulars, accentuating the neighborhood feel. Fortunately, residential love hasn't created a locals-only attitude often found at similar places.
The Draw
Most nights feature live entertainment, from karaoke to Monday Night Live, an anything-goes open mic, once featuring some random guy reading Kerouac for five minutes. The food, ranging from the usual bar fare to bangers and mash, is tasty and reasonably priced. Often busy without being jam-packed, it's a festive atmosphere but not sardine city. And with so many regulars in the house, even newcomers will know half the bar after hanging out just a couple of times.
Best of Ireland – This bar is the best that Ireland has to offer. Great atmosphere, friendly service, reasonable prices. I've heard fantastic singers at the karoake mike. Great Irish bar. It's always lively - I've been there on a Sunday and it was packed. It's a great escape from trendiness - the only attitudes here are friendly!
User review by sgfood – Average neighbourhood Paddy bar: seems to have caught '4th Generation Irish Fever'. Not that authentic at all, beer is decent.

Plusle is outclassed by Raichu, but it offers one thing over it and one thing only: Baton Pass. When the going gets rough, Plusle at least has the option to keep up momentum and pass its +2 Special Attack to a teammate that can hopefully maintain its sweep. Unfortunately, Volbeat also sports the ability to pass Special Attack boosts, and a +3 one with priority at that. Luckily, Plusle hits harder and so is less of a liability should all else fail.
Plusle will have a tough time setting up a Nasty Plot, but if you can manage to get it in on a Water-type, you can maybe pull it off. From there, blast away with Thunderbolt and Hidden Power until Plusle just can't blast anymore and pass the Nasty Plot boost to a teammate. While Plusle is pretty fast for NU, it has some serious trouble with Choice Scarf users, predominantly Primeape, since it can't withstand any of its attacks and won't be able to pass on its Nasty Plot boost. If at all possible, try to eliminate the opponent's Choice Scarf user before bringing in Plusle.
Any Pokemon with a decent Special Attack stat will enjoy a +2 boost, but the trick is to pass to something that will both be able to weather the incoming hit and outspeed the opponent once it's in. Charizard, Articuno, and Rotom-S all usually can do this and are immune to Ground-type attacks as well. Tangela and Exeggutor resist Ground-type attacks and are very physically bulky, but are pretty slow, meaning they'll likely have to take two hits before attacking.
Other Options
Encore can provide Plusle with more set up opportunities, but Baton Pass is about the only thing it has over Raichu, so that's the niche it needs to provide. Encore can go over Hidden Power Ice, but mono-Electric coverage is just asking for trouble down the line. Any support set or a more dedicated Baton Pass set is better left to Minun.
Checks and Counters
Piloswine is a good immediate answer to Plusle, and it's strong enough to threaten most of the Pokemon that Plusle would generally want to Baton Pass to as well. There's actually a small amount of Pokemon that won't mind taking a +2 Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Ice, but most that resist Thunderbolt still make a good answer, particularly Grass-types like Roselia. Revenge killing is the best way to both eliminate Plusle and any potential threat it could Baton Pass to. Choice Scarf Primeape, Zebstrika, Tauros, and Scolipede are all decent answers. Priority from Zangoose also works well.

Who is Alexa?
Hello! My name is Alexa Rae Farmerie, and I am currently a sophomore here at the University of Mount Union majoring in early childhood education and minoring in psychology. I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and am the oldest of three children. I have been a cheerleader for a good portion of my life and still continue to cheer on the Purple Raiders here at Mount Union! I am also a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, Preview and Orientation staff, Student Nation Education Association (SNEA), Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol. I love to hang out with my family and friends, workout, play sports and participate in all kinds of campus activities! I am in love with country music and would one day love to meet Kenny Chesney!
Here is a quote from one of my idols, Audrey Hepburn, which really inspires me:
"I believe to not to live for the day, that would be materialistic — but to treasure the day. I realize that most of us live on the skin — on the surface — without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all."
Audrey Hepburn ♥

They need to take full advantage of the relationship with the Saints and get Davis a red practice jersey.
John Reid @JohnReidTP
For the third time in four days, Hornets forward Anthony Davis tweaked his left ankle.Story coming on http://NOLA.com
They need to take full advantage of the relationship with the Saints and get Davis a red practice jersey.
I really hope he plays. Came to town for the holidays and purchased 15 tickets for my family to go to the game. That would really suck if he doesn't suit up...
It ain't no thang.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
A lot of that going around. Seriously, what the diddle is with this team and weak ankles? I hope they never have to run from Jason Vorhees in the woods at some point.
Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Facts with Ro Brown and Wednesdays at 1pm for Sports Revolution to hear me speak my mind on all things Saints and Pelicans related and more.
Only on WBOK 1230 AM.
Feel free to PM me for more details.
It seems very player in the league can have this happen any day.

50 Actors and Musicians Fight Back Against House Majoritys Legislative Assault on Women
Scarlett Johansson, Connie Britton, Mamie Gummer, Alan Cumming, Julianne Moore, Rachel Bilson, Sarah Silverman, Jane Fonda, Gabrielle Union, Cynthia Nixon, Gabourey Sidibe, Dana Delany, Aisha Tyler, Kathleen Turner, Jason Alexander and Other Artists Stand Up to Defend Women's Health and Planned Parenthood
Scarlett Johansson, Alan Cumming, Julianne Moore, Rachel Bilson, Gabrielle Union, and more than 40 other leading artists from the entertainment industry are standing up to defend Planned Parenthood from extreme proposals in Congress that take away preventive health care and family planning services from women.
"Every year, Planned Parenthood provides essential preventive health care to millions of women, men, and teens," said Johansson, best known for her leading role in the Oscar-winning film Lost in Translation. For many people Planned Parenthood is their only source of health care. Let your members of Congress know where you stand. Go to IStandWithPlannedParenthood.org. Sign the petition.
The anti-choice House leadership in Congress has introduced various pieces of legislation that attack womens health, including a proposal to bar Planned Parenthood from providing health services through federal health programs like Medicaid, as well as the elimination of the national family planning program (Title X).
Now, as thousands of people get ready to descend on Capitol Hill for the Stand Up for Womens Health Rally on April 7, artists are using their talent to fight back. Theyre recording videos, authoring articles, appearing at events, using social media, and lending their names and images to the IStandWithPlannedParenthood.org website. Theyre also joining hundreds of thousands of people who have signed an open letter to Congress, urging the House leadership to stop this assault on womens health and rights.
"These artists have the power to shine a light on this outrageous attack against womens health," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Theyve gone above and beyond to help us at this critical moment, when an extreme minority is hijacking the budget process to advance a narrow ideological agenda.
Each year, Planned Parenthood health centers provide basic preventive health care to three million people, most of them women. The measures being pushed by the extreme right in Congress would shatter the nations family planning infrastructure and take away many womens current access to lifesaving cancer screening, annual exams, STD testing, and other basic health services. Planned Parenthood stands for women's health, plain and simple, said Rachel Bilson. That's why I stand with Planned Parenthood.
Here is a list of actors and artists who are supporting Planned Parenthood and all women against the extreme proposals in Congress:

Canadian sports network TSN has lost the rights to air NHL games when the league signed a 12-year $4.9 billion deal with rival Rogers. So where does TSN show next season? Apparently kids shows, celebrities & live manhunts. (satire)
In an amazing bit of irony, TSN insider Bob McKenzie broke the news that TSN's NHL coverage is no more.
After multiple people (including myself) asked Conor McKenna to bring it up with McGuire on the Drive show today, Pierre doubled down on his opinion on the Halak trade, and here is why his opinion is nonsense.

Tonight I'll be joining Dave Kaufman in studio for some puck talk about fancy stats and how to use them, tune in!
2-0 Bruins vow vigilance. Pens fall from faves to flops. McGuire praises (gasp) Julien, Bruins. Marchand under Pens' skins AND in their net. Prank call to Pitt bar "is Owen there?" TSN "Puck Over Glass" song. NHL rules changes. St. Louis wins Ross.
After being eliminated handily at the hands of the Bruins in a series where Boston didn't even really have to try, chances are Torts is done in New York.
Andrew Wiggins headlining the McDonald's All American Game, Kris Joseph called up by Nets, Kelly Olynyk is an AP All American, ladies get honorable mention AP merits, Duane Notice to South Carolina, SWNT coach Lisa Thomaidis, Tristan Thompson here...
The station's rights to the iconic program are soon to expire, and with the show under criticism, show we embrace the possibility of the change?

Calgary fire officials says a near tragedy in the city's south east Monday morning highlights the importance of carbon monoxide detectors.
More than a dozen people were forced from their duplex on the 2800 block of 12th Ave. S.E. around 5 a.m. MT after a man called 911, complaining of an extreme headache.
None of the homes in the duplex have a CO detector.
"If the occupant had not woken up when he did, the outcome for himself and his family could have been much more tragic," according to a Calgary Fire Department news release.
Paramedics treated people at the scene and took eight to hospital as a precaution.
Fire crews found carbon monoxide readings above 500 parts per million, 20 times the acceptable level.
The toxic gas is odourless, colourless and tasteless. It can build up in homes when furnace ducts or filters get blocked.
The cause of the CO leak remains under investigation.

He was "Fat," he was "White & Nerdy" and he was a "Canadian Idiot."
On Thursday, "Weird Al" Yankovic brought lots of laughs — and costumes for each of his characters — while he sang parodies of "Bad" by Michael Jackson, "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and "American Idiot" by Green Day, among quite a few others.
Thousands at the Orpheum Theater giggled at some lines and shouted others for more than two hours while Yankovic and his four-member band played songs from as far back in his catalog as 1983's "My Bologna."
Yankovic's show was part concert and part variety show. Each member of the band wore various costumes (including a fat suit during "Fat" and a Segway during "White & Nerdy), dancers and extras joined Yankovic for a few songs and every couple of tunes was followed by a video clip.
Yankovic and his four-member band started with his polka medley, "Polka Face," which included polka covers of pop songs.
"I haven't been in Nebraska for awhile," Yankovic said after taking the stage. "It's great to be back here."
Fans were happy to have him back and went wild for big numbers such as "Smells Like Nirvana," where Yankovic wore a blond Kurt Cobain wig and even played guitar left-handed (again, like Cobain) while cheerleaders danced behind him.
Throughout the show, I was amazed at how physically Yankovic performed each song. In addition to donning lots of costumes (a few of which had to be heavy and/or uncomfortable), he jumped around and fell onstage during the grunge song "Smells Like Nirvana," he swirled around like a drunken Jim Morrison during the Doors-inspired "Craigslist" and walked through the crowd and gyrated around a few female fans during "Wanna Be Ur Lovr."
In addition to being an affable group of guys, Yankovic's band is extremely talented. Some of the songs, such as "TMZ" (a parody of Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me") and "Perform This Way" (a parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"), sounded better than when I heard the original artists perform them.
Though the previously-mentioned video clips and costume changes took up a lot of time, the middle section of the show was a quick-hitting medley of songs with no pauses in between.
Part of the slew of tunes included some of Yankovic's best food songs such as "Eat It," "Rye or the Kaiser," "My Bologna," "Spam" and "Lasagna."
By the end of the show, I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt, partly because of the songs' inherent humor and partly because I remembered a lot of amusing moments from my life that involved a cassette tape of Yankovic's songs and my brothers, friends and I laughing along.
When Yankovic and his band took the stage for the encore dressed as Jedi knights (and followed by Boba Fett, Darth Vader and other "Star Wars" characters), I found myself cheering along with the rest of the audience as he closed out the show with his two "Star Wars" songs: "The Saga Begins" and "Yoda."
I wasn't alone. The finale was the highlight for most in the audience, who stood and cheered and Yankovic took his final bows.
"Thank you, Omaha,' he said. "I love you all."
