- Great Food, Great ServiceAudreyDined on 10/8/2014Party of two. Seated promptly. Great server. He was extremely nice. Most importantly the food was amazing. Tried the nacho tots and they were very good. The brisket burger was very good as well. The mac and cheese could have used some more flavor but it wasn't bad either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedRoadWarriorVIPDined on 9/20/2014I thought that a restaurant in a progressive city would be a good fit for someone with a food allergy. This place wasn't even close. A very small menu with very little to offer in terms of reasonably healthy options. The burgers were tasty even though I would have preferred something other than a burger.Special Features:
- probably odered wrongOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/16/2014was not a stellar meal. should probably still with burgers and bar items - very nice waitress
- The following 38 reviews are from the Madison's reviews archive.
- Cool and CasualxfighterpilotDined on 6/25/2014Relaxed and open atmosphere... more pub feel than restaurant, but the food was really good and our waitress was super friendly and attentive to what we were selecting. As we considered our salad selection, she mentioned (had taken note of) that the lettuce wedges were the "greenest she had ever seen" that day, and when they arrived we had to agree (and the salads were delicious too). That kind of attention to details by a server is both important and appreciated by us. The rest of the dinner was just as good... and there are nice surprises like Garlic Grits and a wide variety of tasty tater tots to consider as well. If you are looking for casual but great value, check them out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/16/2014So nice, we only were waiting 10 minutes for a table and they offered to buy us a round because of the "inconvenience". Great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great mealJamesBVIPDined on 4/25/2014My wife and I have found Madison's to be a surprisingly consistent great meal. Most people think of Madison's as a bar or late-night dance spot. But, we've found them to be an excellent and reasonably price dinner downtown. They are large enough that getting a reservation is rarely a problem even when other restaurants are sold out. The only knock on our most recent visit was a slightly inattentive waitress. She introduced herself when we sat down and then didn't return for a REALLY long time. Then we ordered drinks and she brought me the wrong beer (I had ordered Miller Lite - nothing complicated). The appetizer and dinner came out in a timely manner, however. We will definitely come back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good meal, good locationOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/8/2014We were looking for someplace to eat before going to the Overture center and this was a good choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid downtown spot for dinerPeterDined on 2/14/2014A unique menu that stands apart from the noise in downtown Madison cuisine. Very cool ambiance and fantastic service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better before 630TedurdahlDined on 2/14/2014It was a nice plac ean d had a great time but after 630 the band starts and gets kind of loud great lace if you are looking for an all night kind of date.Special Features:
- Love Madison's!food4meDined on 12/31/2013Madison's is an excellent place to dine! It offers a variety of options for any patron... whether you're going for a nice meal, to watch a game, have a delicious signature cocktail, or dance all night! Their Hanger Steak is the bomb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NYEfoodisgoodDined on 12/31/2013A few friends and I went for Nye. We wanted to eat there as well since it was cold out, so we booked a reservation. The latest reservation we could get was 630 :( even though when we got there they said we could have the table for the whole night. Wish we could have booked it at 8 instead. The Dj didn't start playing danceable music until 1030 and he didn't play many today's hits. I would say we had an okay time, not worth $25 that others had to pay if you didn't eat there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for drinks but not foodMadieDined on 12/6/2013Not kid friendly - no milk or kid food options. Food was sub-par and certainly not worth what they charge. Cheese curds were a plate of grease. The place was quiet for a Friday night. Bar has a decent drink selection but choose elsewhere for food.Special Features:
- Charming historic building!MstasiaVIPDined on 11/9/2013This was a nice respite after the chaos and fun of game day in Madison. The old nostalgic building lends it's vibe to the really cool cocktail list. The best was the spicy cucumber martini. Food was also great but was looking for a vegetarian entree choice, all meat and fish. There was a flatbread pizza but crust was thick and doughy. I would return as Madisons offers everything neighboring places do without the lines out the door. Great capital square experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for drinks and appsskifoodieDined on 11/1/2013My group was very pleased with the tap beers and appetizers. As we were there just before 7pm, the tap beers were $3 and the appetizers were 25% off. The food is overpriced for the quantity and quality. With the happy hour discounts, it was reasonable. Our entrees were overpriced and average. Next time, we will go earlier and just get drinks and appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for after a Badger game!BeckyVIPDined on 10/12/2013We had a reservation for after the football game so it was great to be able to sit down in a warm restaurant and enjoy good food and great service. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, the burgers and beef panini were good and we really enjoyed the chocolate cake for desert. Our waitress was friendly and attentive too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second good experienceJamesBVIPDined on 10/11/2013We've tried Madison's twice recently and have enjoyed both experiences. The menu is fairly small but everything on it so far has been tasty. The "hot tots" are my personal recommendation. The service has been prompt & friendly. I would definitely go againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun night out!VeraDined on 9/20/2013Our first time taking our college kid and friends to dinner in Madison! Easy to park, cool atmosphere, good service too. Kids loved the varied menu and the music and tv's. Being in the center if the city and close to the capital building completed the evening out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bachelorette party!HanranDined on 8/2/2013My friend had Bachelorette party this previous weekend. We decided to come to Madisons for dinner. I had been to the restaurant for drinks and my friend had been for dinner. We were greatly impressed with the service and the wait staff as they were super friendly and very accommodating. We had great seats in a booth. We were impressed with the great drinks and Wisconsin based dinner menu with a flare! I'd recommend this place to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- past reviews were disregardedDisappointedVIPDined on 7/26/2013past reviews were disregarded to try the food. stayed long enough to see what problems were. food can't make up for bad management
- great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/28/2013took my two sisters to celebrate a retirement. Nice atmosphere, great food, friendly service. Varied menu so something for everyone's taste. Topped the night off with a complimentary dessert for my one sister who retired. Nice touch. Will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Tater Tots are epic. IOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/1/2013The Tater Tots are epic. I would not have expected to have gourmet Tater Tots but they were the highlight of the meal. You have to get them. The Sweet Potato Tots and the Truffle Tots are especially good. The Tequila Chile Chicken was so-so, but the Fish Tacos however were exceptional. The servers were kind, informative and attentive. Our next trip into Madison will definitely include a trip to Madison'sSpecial Features:
- the food is tasteless andambrai101VIPDined on 3/1/2013the food is tasteless and has no seasoning. it is so loud you cannot hear yourself or anyone else speak. will NOT be back.
- Went for Valentine's. It wasn'tfoodie08Dined on 2/14/2013Went for Valentine's. It wasn't packed, but the waitress definitely seemed to be rushing us along (I think she was ready to take our orders about 3 minutes after we sat down, she checked in several times, and I noticed her glancing to see if we were done about halfway through the meal). I had the fish tacos, which were good. Madison's never blows me away with the food, but it is a solid neighborhood choice.
- Beef tenderloins were veryOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2013Beef tenderloins were very chewy, blood red, like eating raw meat. They were not good at all.Special Features:
- I have been to Madison's onethorvaldson05VIPDined on 12/31/2012I have been to Madison's on several occasions since approximately 2009 and the restaurant has increasingly become worse and worse. Every time we have made a reservation, the staff are always scrambling to arrange seating and questions us if a reservation even exists. My husband, male friend, and I dined at Madison's on New Year's Eve 2012 with a 7:30pm reservation. The restaurant was not full and we had to ask several times of different wait staff for a drink list. Our waitress was not attentive to the table and several staff members "hovered" over our table waiting for us to finish as soon as our food arrived. One staff member even took a plate before we were finished without asking. Overall, not worth the time or trouble.Special Features:
- The menu was limited for dinner,OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 12/22/2012The menu was limited for dinner, but the drinks were fantastic as were the waitstaff and ambiance.
- Sports bar with a touch ofCollierCulinaryCritiqueaVIPDined on 8/23/2012Sports bar with a touch of class makes this place a fun charming place to eat and have fun. Happy hour menus make the meal not only tasty but affordable as well.Special Features:
- Overpriced for average foodOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/3/2012We were expecting so much more with this restaurant. Drinks are overpriced and not that great. Twelve dollars for a mediocre drink is not worth it. I can get a much better drink across the street at the Opus Lounge. Food was average and also overpriced. Not much to choose from for entrees either. We only went there because a friend gave us a gift card for Madison's, and we still have some left on it. Probably won't use the rest of it though.
- Madison's has an identity crisisOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 4/21/2012Overall Madison's is OK but could be a lot better if it could decide what it wants to be. We went there thinking it was a higher-end restaurant but upon arrival discovered it had large screen TV's in the dining room showing the Brewers. I don't go to nice restaurants to watch TV, I go to sports bars. Food was good. Very noisy and difficult to talk. With some easy changes could be a much better experience.
- I had a great meal. The chickenOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/21/2012I had a great meal. The chicken diablo was just the right amount of spice, tender pieces of chicken. My companion had the lemongrass cilantro chicken which also was done perfectly. The service was attentive without being overbearing.Special Features:
- Went for Valentines Day asOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/14/2012Went for Valentines Day as they were one of the few.dowtown restaurants that takes reservations AND had a 6 pm opening. The drink list and beer selection were top notch. They have a plethora of house-infused spirits (apple raisin Bulleit anyone?). The service was impeccable. We had our appetizer in no time and our food before we finished our first drink. The food was good as well. I had the beef tenderloin special. The fried cheesecake dessert was excellent as well. The ambience was great. Dimly lit, lots of exposed brick. The one thing that threw it off a little bit was what I assume was a VJ spinning 1980s R&b videos on projection screens all over the bar. Really, really weird and somewhat out of place. Other than that, everything was A+Special Features:
- wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/31/2011The service was outstanding I appreciae the hospitality and they didnt hover over us or stay too far back the manager was excellent for the high price of the food the portions were quite large. It seemed like a special occassion as we went there for new years but I know I will be back for a regular old night outSpecial Features:

Not only is the main floor atmosphere chill with great music and amazing food, but the lower level dance floor is great to continue dancing the night away. This place has everything me and my friends like, good atmosphere, good food, good drinks, good music and good prices.Special Features:

Al Hikma works both within the Muslim community and with the wider non Muslim community to create a better understanding of the pristine teachings of Islam. Al Hikma's public events are open to all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Al Hikma believes that British Muslims have a responsibility to articulate their faith both to Muslims and non-Muslims. The community is a key concern and as such Al Hikma have extended their services to work with a range of other organisations such as West Midlands Fire Services, local university student societies, different faith leaders and the like.
Al Hikma Media from its onset has remained a non-profit organisation in which our volunteers work feesabilillah (for the sake of Allah) in the attempt to fulfil their obligation of presenting the pristine teachings of Islam and to attain the pleasure of Allah (swt). All of our members are either students or have professional jobs and do not take any salary from Al Hikma ensuring every penny is spent in delivering the message. This practice ensures that the volunteer's sole intention of their dawah work is for the deen and not for any financial benefit. The brothers and sisters who run the organisation is an example of how ordinary Muslims can make a difference in the society they live.
Holding strongly on the Islamic value of inclusivity Al Hikma ensures that its services are open to both men and women. Furthermore sisters are also encouraged to be part of the Dawah and are empowered with positions of responsibility in executing the Dawah within the Islamic framework.
Al Hikma, meaning Wisdom, was born from the work and aspirations of a number of daees involved in Islamic Societies (ISOCs) and community outreach dawah initiatives. This was conducted with the support from a range of diverse ullema and daees.
The purpose of Al Hikma is to act as a vehicle to serve the Deen (way of life) of Islam. Al Hikma aims to be in the servitude of the Muslim community by making available a range of services to help individuals and the community build their relationship with the Creator and the rest of humankind in accordance to Islam. This is executed via a range of services used to promote Islam and Islamic values both to Muslims and non-Muslims.
Al Hikma wants to encourage all people to attend and benefit from the dawah events. By adopting a "free entrance" policy Al Hikma has aided in removing the financial barrier of "entrance fees" that may deter some people (especially students) wanting to learn or be inspired by Islam but not have the financial means to do so. To date, all of our conventions, speeches and debates have had a free entrance policy. This policy makes the dawah work very difficult as high costs are incurred. The continuation of this approach can only be maintained by your generous donations, sponsorships and most importantly - duas.
Conventions and conferences are just a small part of Al Hikma Media's work. Throughout the year, Al Hikma members keep themselves involved in educational, Da'wah (outreach) and social service oriented activities. Al Hikma arranges speaker tours, dialogues, TV programmes, production of exhibition materials and much more. However, demand for our services far exceeds our ability to deliver as all our volunteers have full time work commitments and families to maintain. Therefore we apologise for any shortcomings on our behalf. Perfection belongs to Allah alone.
Al Hikma strives to remain a neutral organisation without any divisional group affiliation in its attempt to unite Muslims from diverse backgrounds.
The concept of unity promoted is not that Muslims should leave their rich diverse Islamic backgrounds, heritage, practices or groups and adopt a single methodology. Disparity amongst Muslims in understanding and practises has always existed in Islam right from the time of the early generations till now. However, these variances did not manifest into hatred for fellow Muslims and despite the differences the Muslims remained united on the common good. The call to unity that Al Hikma encourages is for Muslims regardless of their group affiliation to work together on the common good – that any hatred turns into love – that ignorance converts to an understanding and that the love and brotherhood of the Prophetic era returns into the hearts of Muslims today.
Incorporated within the range of services that Al Hikma executes in the promotion of Islam is aiding other Islamic organisations in the delivery of their events. Much of Al Hikma's work does not necessarily bare Al Hikma's name. The concern is in delivering the work needed for the deen at the grass root and strategic levels regardless of what banner it is executed under. The call is not necessarily to the organisation; rather the call is to Islam, regardless of which organisation is serving it.
The Deaf community lies as a neglected part of our society with little to none provisions made for them to learn about Islam. Many Muslims whilst having the desire to learn their deen do not know the basics of their faith simply due to the inaccessibility of Islamic information via a suitable medium for them. A great deal of research and investigation has taken place by Al Hikma with regards to the deaf community. This has resulted in a wide spectrum of plans to help facilitate and integrate the deaf community.
Universities are an amazing place to shape the minds of the future of this country. Al Hikma works very closely with a number of Islamic societies (ISOCs) especially those universities which have been neglected by larger organisations or do not have the finances to fund their activities.
Al Hikma uses British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters in their large conferences so that the deaf community can benefit from the speeches being made. In addition to this specific workshops tailor made to the deaf community at conferences and beyond are conducted to help the deaf community learn and interact with Islamic scholars. Awareness programmes of the plight of deaf community to Muslim leaders have been initiated. It is also aimed to deliver short courses for the deaf community, make provisions for the deaf community to enjoy Islamic experiences to place, such as Turkey and much more.
Al Hikma's support is mainly in the form of coordinating international and national speaker tours, structural support for the ISOC, provisions of khateeb's for Jumma, assistance in delivering Islamic Awareness weeks, delivering interfaith programmes, dealing with university administration to secure better facilities for Muslims and so forth.
Muslims are ecstatic when new individuals embrace the Islamic faith. However, once the initial buzz is out of the way there is little support for these new members of the Islamic family. Reverts often face problems at home being disowned by their families, losing their social network, finding it difficult to make sense of the diversity within the Muslim community and so on.
In order to help integrate reverts into the Muslim community and to help educate them about Islamic values Al Hikma embarked upon a ground breaking project of subsidising new Muslims to experience a journey of a lifetime by taking them on an "Umrah& Seerah Tour."
The concept is to subside reverts who may lack the finances on a journey to the spiritual capitals of Islam (Makkah & Medinah) for roughly a period of ten days in the company of a scholar(s) and other Muslims. Not only does this give new Muslims a chance to perform umrah whilst visiting other Islamic sites but also allows them to build a bond with other Muslims and converts who are on the tour. The scholars provide continuous guidance throughout the journey teaching them about the key aspects of the biography of the beloved Prophet (saw) at the very sites it unfolded.
Other supporting mechanism that have been delivered are the "Converts Friends & Family Canal Boat Trip" which was a project to encourage those who are in contact with new Muslims but are not Muslims themselves help understand Islam and the changes people will go through when embracing Islam. Parent's of New Muslims, employers, local police, politicians and other non Muslims where invited to come with new Muslims on a cannal boat ride around Birmingham. The trip was accompanied by three scholars (two who where converts themselves) to be given an introduction about Islam, dispel misconception and explain the reasons for certain changes in reverts lives such as hijab, salah and the like. It proved to be a successful project which created an informal chance for non Muslims to ask questions and get satisfactory answers to their concerns.
Al Hikma delivers various programmes throughout the year targeted at non Muslims which include the following:
Interfaith Question Time Panels: Various representatives from different faiths (and non faiths) are set up on a Question Time styled Panel and given a set of topics to talk about. Panellists have to answer questions posed on the topic from the audience. Thus making people of faith more approachable to the general public. The Interfaith Question Time panels often take place in universities at which Muslim specialist on the topic being discussed are dispatched as panellists. Topics have included; 'Does faith negatively impact the progression of women in society?', 'Freedom of speech?', 'Role of faith based schools' and many more.
Interfaith Dialogues / Debates: Al Hikma has organised a number of dialogues and debates on key issues such as the 'Existence of God', 'Who is Jesus?', 'Is Quran compatible with science?'and much more. Debates have taken place with leading specialist in the Muslim and Christian / Atheist communities with positive results for the Muslim community.
Discover Islam Dinners: Al Hikma organises free dinners for non Muslims to encourage them to attend and learn about Islam. This is presented with an Islamic speaker who is a specialist in the field of working with non Muslims.
The speaker tours that Al Hikma has conducted have also assisted in bringing some new names to the UK scene and establishing their demand in the hearts of Muslims around UK. This is a unique feature as it has allowed affective speakers / teachers to access the Muslim community in Britain that may have never been known by people.
Al Hikma since its onset has been involved in delivering speaker tours with both national and international speakers. A few times a year Al Hikma will fly in Muslim speakers who are specialists in their field to deliver speeches at various locations through UK. These will encompass delivering speeches at universities, colleges, schools, community centres and mosques up and down the country. The benefit of this service is that it provides a coordinated tour of high profiled speakers who may not be accessible to such institutions (either due to associated costs or practicality of flying into the country just to deliver one programme).
Al Hikma is a pioneer in delivering conventions and conferences gaining international recognition for it's signatory event, the United Muslims' Convention, which has been recognised as the largest annual convention open to both brothers and sisters. The unique aspect of this convention is that it helps unite Muslim scholars and activists from different backgrounds and brings an array of activities all under one roof including speeches, nasheed, Q&A sessions, interfaith activities, kids talent show, youth workshops, Deaf Muslim workshops, BSL interpretation of speeches, Islamic matrimonial events, souks, fundraising for charities and much more.
Islamic Summit – This is Al Hikma's annual winter conference that is focused on dealing with real issues and current topical issues affecting the Muslim community in Britain.
Al Hikma's sister organisation, Islamic College of England (ICE), delivers short intensive courses normally in a one day or two day intensive format. These courses have covered an array of subject matters including Mothers of The Believers, The Life of Ali (ra), Seerah of the beloved Prophet (saw), Science of Hadith, Science of Quran, Dawah Training, Fiqh of Marriage/Salah/Taharah/Fasting/Hajj and many others.
The Dawah Diploma is a structured academic course that aims to train individuals who demonstrate a passion and drive to become effective Da'ees. The Dawah Diploma will host some of the leading Da'ees from across the globe who are specialists in their field and possess years of experience.
The Dawah Diploma provides a unique opportunity not only for the students of the diploma, but for our Supporting sponsors. The first ever diploma of its kind in the UK provided by the Islamic College of England and taught by some of the worlds most renowned scholars and da'ees.
Al Hikma has published books authored by scholars and is in the process of producing further Islamic material for dawah and for Muslims wishing to learn the basics of their deen.
Al Hikma has had great involvement in presenting Islam to non-Muslims. This has been done with public bodies such as the police, educational institutions, clergy of other faiths and the general public. One initiative to help create awareness of Islam and its achievements is the concept of the Explore Islam Exhibition. This is intended to be a portable exhibition consisting of Pop up stands and other displays that can be used at Islamic Awareness events to positively present Islamic values. Traditionally such dawah literature has been in the form of an apologetic method trying to justify Islamic values of inheritance, gender equality, non violence etc. Instead of using an apologetic method Al Hikma decided to use the method of presenting real positive examples that will indirectly make the point via the exhibition and associated dawah material. The explore Islam Exhibition will be an ongoing project which will add new phases to it. Inshallah over time we will produce short Islamic documentaries to address certain issues.
Al Hikma has provided support to various Islamic organisations and has forged good working relationships with them. Instead of reinventing the wheel and exporting the Al Hikma brand to regions throughout UK Al Hikma prefers to work with existing organisations on the ground to help deliver programmes through channels already established within the community. The help provided by Al Hikma includes supports to masjids in the provision of fluent English speaking scholars / teachers / khateebs, support for new Islamic magazines engaging in dawah and the like.
Al Hikma has been working with a number of British based charities in the delivery of various humanitarian aid work and other charitable projects. Al Hikma has forged a good relationship with a number of charities and have helped raise funds for various projects that have had a life changing experience on people around the world.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday condo in Bangtao beach
Avoid crowded beaches and seediness down south - instead, relax at Bang Tao
Along the stretch of road known as 'Millionaire's Mile", within a small mixed condo/villa estate, you can choose either our unique 527 sq metre 3 ensuite bedroom PENTHOUSE 'Villa in the Sky' with 3 entertainment terraces surrounding your private same-level 17.5 metre pool; OR the 243 sq metre SERENE condo villa underneath the penthouse, OR our 243 sq metre ground floor 3 ensuite bedroom POOLSIDE condo villa (next to 25m adult pool, separate children's wading pool, and sala with lounge chairs and tables). With teak wood floors, wood paneled interiors, ceiling fans (air conditioners as well, should the air flow across all the sliding doors be insufficient), king/queen beds, large en suite terrazzo bathrooms (spa tub, fitness room, study in PH), spacious living and dining rooms, fully equipped European kitchen, all furnished in modern Thai style with regional accents, you may never want to go outside. Shame, as just outside the gates beacons pristine Bang Tao beach (absent of the rows upon rows of crowded umbrellas and chairs one finds from Surin beach going south).
PENTHOUSE Villa in the Sky: A premium accomodation as rarely can you find a 17.5 metre pool on the same level as the rest of a penthouse - but here it is. With views out to the Andaman Sea (and fireworks from nearby hotels), the pool is surround by a 20 metre long lower sun terrace, a sofa terrace on the east side, and a 10 seater dining terrace (with BBQ and drinks fridge) on the west side. The master bedroom with outsdoor spa tub bathroom faces over the pool with views of tropical foilage. The seaside ensuite bedroom has sliding doors on two sides of the room facing toward the Andaman sea and the common pool area. The third ensuite-bedroom have views over the pool and to the sea. The living room with large flat screen TV faces over the pool with the dining room at the other end. The fully equipped kitchen is inclusive of wine fridge. A fitness room with weights and an office (which can double as the third ensuite bedroom) completes what is a special residence.
POOLSIDE CONDO VILLA: The best located condo villa in the Chom Tawan estate being steps away from the 25 metre adult and separate children's pool making it feel like a private pool, particularly as outside of Christmas/New Years, most owners in the estate are working elsewhere in Asia. With terra cotta terraces on three sides, you have views of the pool (which looks magical with the lights at night) from the master bedroom, poolside bedroom, and living room. The outdoor dining terrace faces toward the Andaman Sea and enjoys a massive well protected open grass area in front of it. Inside, there are accents from our multi-week driving trip throughout Thailand. It does not get much better than this!
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- suitable for elderly or infirm
Why Gordon or Jenny chose Bangtao beach
The square footage/meterage of your accommodation is unusually large giving you space to feel comfortable as well as decorated and kitted out to live in (rather than the minimal utensils one often finds in rental accommodations). The tropical foliage and landscaping is amazing. You will not need to rush out to claim your chair by the pool (or one of the chairs in the rows on the beach) as the estate is not overpacked with hotel rooms and other than Christmas, are more than a dozen owners around.
What makes this condo unique
One does not appreciate having the upmarket resorts around us as they make sure the beaches are kept clean and not overrun (until one goes further south and sees Surin,Patong, Karon, Kata, etc which party animals seem to like - we do not). Paradise should be about tropical foliage, pristine beaches, and sounds of birds and waves.

In a harrowing new twist, a video showing more than 100 of Nigeria's stolen schoolgirls was released today by their captors, Islamist militants Boko Haram.
It's the latest turn of events since more than 200 teenagers were kidnapped from their school in the pre-dawn hours of April 14. Though few managed to escape, the majority of the girls have not been seen since.
Though the video, which claims to show the girls praying, offers no clues as to when or where it was taken, experts - and parents of the schoolgirls - are hopeful that it could be the first step towards a negotiated settlement to secure their release. Previously, Boko Haram have threatened to sell the girls to men.
The #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign continues [Twitter]
Chillingly, Boko Haram say that they have 'liberated' the girls, by forcing them to covert from Christian to Muslim. Three girls - all wearing hijabs - are shown speaking in the 27-minute video released by French news agency Agence France-Presse. Two of them say to camera that they were Christian and have converted to Islam, whilst one says that she is Muslim.
Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, says in the video: "These girls, these girls you occupy yourselves with… we have indeed liberated them. These girls have become Muslims."

no salt and pepper shakers on tables [moved from General Topics board]
Okay, this may be a controversial topic but who knows. What do you think about restos that don't provide salt and pepper shakers on their tables?
If you are a cook and someone eats at your place, do you get insulted when diners shake salt onto their food before tasting it?
I don't have a problem with a restaurant not providing salt and pepper shakers as long as the food is properly seasoned. I do dislike restaurants that offer to pepper your salad when you haven't even gotten a chance to taste it.
As far as for my home I always put salt and pepper on the table and encourage guests to season to their taste. I do however feel insulted when someone seasons without tasting...that is in very poor 'taste' in my opinion.
re: iLoveFood
I don't put out salt and pepper at home and don't expect to see it in restaurants. But I don't understand why others are insulted that people season their food before tasting it. I can overlook that pretty easily, it's a behavior that they're never thought through and they don't have well developed palates. But if someone were to season my food after tasting it, then I would be really insulted. They'd tasted it and found it lacking. I'm not saying that I would want them to suffer through a poorly seasoned meal, just that it would be clear that they'd assessed my food and concluded that it was not well prepared!!
re: MMRuth
I have a friend who salts "Sea-Salt Fries." It's a habit. Nothing can ever be salty enough. As soo as the food gets to the table, out comes the salt! Salsa, chips, everything gets salted.
re: TexasToast
I once saw an entire family (4 kids and 2 adults) hijak salt shakers from other tables at a Mexican restaurant so they could individually salt every tortilla chip they ate.
re: TexasToast
Well, my friend's a little more civilized and asks for separate chip bowls and salt!
I see people S&P (heavy on the pepper most of the time) their food all the time without tasting it first. It always makes me think of the scene in Mrs. Doubtfire where Robin Williams adds a huge amount of pepper to Pierce Brosnan's food, making him gag and then choke. I wonder if any chefs use white pepper, less visible--maybe--than regular/black or other kinds of pepper?
I also put S&P shakers on the table, and yes, do feel insulted if they season without tasting first.
After posting earlier I started thinking about this and it made me realize that if I'm at someone's house and there is no S&P on the table I NEVER ask for it (even if I feel that the food needs it).
re: wayne keyser
Next time he comes over you should oversalt his plate before serving him and then let him salt it as usual...it might teach him a lesson
Henry Ford, inventor of the Assembly Line, would invite potential new hires to his house for dinner. If anyone salted his food before tasting, he would not be hired. Its called pre-judging.
(This story is told to new Ford Employees and is part of the inital display the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan)
re: Cathy
It could also, though, be called knowing thyself. My Uncle Peter likes his food really, really, really salty. Far more salty than almost anyone else he's ever met. So he pretty much salts food by default - because food that makes him happy would be considered by almost anyone else to be a major cooking error. For him to taste it first would imply 'Well, maybe this is a crappy cook who oversalted the food, I guess I should check.'
For people who add salt to their food before tasting it, I think it is a reflect reaction. If there is no shaker on the table, they would probably bite their nails.
As a guest, if there is salt on the table, I would not hesitate to use it if I think if the food needs it. If there no salt on the table, I would never ask for it.
I think restaurant should have salt on the table. Pepper is not necessary because it is a seasoning for the kitchen. I rarely need to add salt in restaurants and if I do, it is because the kitchen has completely forgotting it. Then I would have no problem asking for it.
I am not so arrogant to think my food is perfect for every palate and a little more S&P for some is fine with me. I'd rather everyone at the table enjoy the meal to the utmost and the idea that i would be insulted or refuse to give S&P is, well insulting.
The company is the focus of the meal, and the food is the guiding path. To those who think the food trumps the company I would ask them to re-prioritize what's important.
Some people with chronic allergies and congestion will not taste things well without a bit of amplification, usually with salt and/or pepper. It's not an insult to the cook; taste is truly subjective and not all customers can taste the way the cook does.
In our culture, salt and pepper are placed at the table as a basic gesture of fine hospitality, for centuries; seating arrangements revolved around them! Omit it at the risk of being seen as inhospitable.
I think many people salt automatically as a kind of pre eating ritual, shake, shake, shake. Altough I don't put salt on the table because that would mean ahem, buying a salt shaker, I'm in no way insulted if people ask for it. People have diffrent palates, I like salty and sour, my brother doesn't.
I think if restaurants don't put salt shakers on the table that's fine, just make sure the food is seasoned and be prepared to provide salt to the diners if requested.
this changes the topic slightly, but isn't worth a different thread:
How does anyone feel when one person at the table wants to salt the food everyone is sharing.
Have you ever watched someone at your table reach over and salt the tortilla chips or the guacamole that everyone is sharing? I have. It makes my nuts.
re: PaulF
Or catsup! I don't like catsup on my french fries (or on much of anything else either, for that matter.) I'm a malt vinegar girl myself. Most ask, but it's surprising how many just assume no one would consider eating a french fry that wasn't somthered in catsup.
And just to keep OT, I never put salt and pepper on the dining table (except for a formal dinner when I do use a salt cellar and individual shaker; but that's just me being a bit pretentious and because I have such beautiful silver/enamel ones that my father made for me.) I do sometimes, though, put hot sauce on the table if I've seriously toned down the gumbo for instance to accommodate a delicate palate and know that others would prefer the heat turned up.
The only time I would miss S&P at the table is at breakfast. Usually add both to eggs & potatoes. Can't recall the last time I've salted anything non-breakfast in a restarurant. Fresh ground pepper is a nice addition sometimes but it would be nice to have the peppermill left at the table.
I have never noticed whether the better restaurants provide S & P or not. There are other idiosyncratic things that people do when eating that out are more off putting to me than asking for S&P and using S&P. At home I don't provide shakers but it is more a habit having cooked for my family who has high blood pressure. As for seasoning before tasting, over time I've become desensitized to this issue, I know someone who adores lemon pepper and will actually rummage through cupboards to find it should they know you have it on hand. I gave up passing judgement or cringing after he added lemon pepper to chicken paprika.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
My out-laws do not season their food because my father-in-law has high blood pressure and my mother-in-law is not familiar with any season apart from sodium. They eat tremendous quantities of prepared foods and my father-in-law is consuming HUGE quantities of sodium during the course of the day but when we dine at their house, the food is prepared with no salt. I do not correct them on their failure to understand that excercise, weight loss and omitting restaurant meals and prepared foods are far more important steps to combat high blood pressure than eating chicken without any seasoning on the rare occasion that you cook a meal at home. But I do wish that they would put out a salt shaker for their unfortunate guests!!!!
Because my mother-in-law proudly exclaims that they do not use salt, I haven't got the heart to ask for some of my own!
Being a salt freak myself: Please taste first. I don't mind if you add salt--I undersalt to my taste when cooking for others. I do object to not having salt on the table. Black pepper I very seldom use and have come to think it is a very odd addition to most food. The more I learn about the physiology of taste the more I'm amazed we agree on anything.
A refusal to provide salt and pepper seems an arrogant position given individual preferences in taste. I happen to like my food much more peppery than my wife does. When I cook at home, I know to put only a small amount of pepper in the food and I then add more to my plate at the table. We are each pleased with the outcome and no one is offended.
As for fresh-ground pepper, I can recall a hilarious Saturday Night Live sketch from the early '90s in which an eager new restaurant employee offers to grind pepper over everything, including chocolate mousse. Of course, my problem is usually the opposite: I have tasted my food and believe it would benefit from added pepper; however, the server is taking care of other tables and I can't get his or her attention until I am halfway done with the food.
What I like most therefore are restaurants that provide a pepper mill at the table. Diners get the benefits of fresh-ground pepper at the time most convenient to them.
re: silverbear
You can also bring your own. I always have one of those little (1.6 oz) Drogheria & Alimentari pepper mills from the supermarket in my desk and in my car's glove compartment.
re: Karl S
Oh to hell with that, just use those little sachets you get from KFC! I mean, that's where they're THERE for!
re: silverbear
There's an interesting discussion going on right now at Frank Bruni's blog. Apparently, a lot of restaurants don't like to place individual pepper mills at tables because of theft:
I think that restaurants that offer a salt shaker (or, less common, a salt cellar or bowl) and small pepper mill are the best type. Even better, sea salt.
As a chef, I don't feel that ANY CHEF is "That Good" that they can perfectly season food for everyone, every time. A few do come close, and you can tell that food is "properly seasoned / flavorful / balanced" which is of course the goal.
Too often chefs are afraid to salt food, fearing someone with high blood pressure or other conditions will take one bite and keel over dead on their table.
As a professional, part of customer service is to provide the customer what they want. Who cares if they want more salt, or pepper. If they want cayenne pepper, heck, if they want chocolate syrup for their mashed potatos, GIVE IT TO THEM.
Chefs who are snobby and hoity-toity about their food, I try and avoid those sort of chefs.
Likewise, places that have those horrible pre-ground pepper are not really good. Fresh ground pepper is about 100 times more flavorful than that grey powder that has lost its flavor months ago.
I recently got a new pepper mill, my "baby" and I love it so much i've been going through peppercorns like crazy.
Cost-wise, its not that much harder to provide fresh pepper and good salt, and it makes all the difference.
Places that have pepper mills on the service counter but never offer, can be a peeve.

NOW's JR Radcliffe takes a weekly look at the top five boys and girls teams in the NOW and Lake Country Publications coverage area and ranks the schools, updated every Sunday.
Germantown, 26-2 (no change)
It's back to the top of the mountain for Germantown. The Warhawks stayed steady all year despite incurring its first losses in three seasons, and then delivered a masterful performance in dominating Milwaukee King in the state semifinal. That served as a prelude to an at-times tense contest with Neenah in the final, but Germantown prevailed for a third straight state championship.
Dominican, 25-3 (up 1 spot)
Diamond Stone delivered yet another remarkable performance at the state tournament, and with some help from fellow big man Jack Jelacic, the Knights recorded a third consecutive state title in fairly convincing fashion. Stone's recruitment will pick up from here, and he'll be one of the most sought-after recruits in state history. Meanwhile, Dominican has built a dynasty only obscured by Germantown's own in Division 1.
Brookfield Central, 24-1 (down 1 spot)
It hardly seems fair that Central gets downgraded for an overtime loss to a state qualifier in a dramatic thriller at the sectional semifinal level, a setback that short-circuited Central's run at perfection and the state tournament. The Lancers will look back on the 2013-14 team as one of the very best the state has produced, with a supremely talented senior class. It's a shame they had to play in such a loaded sectional, where three teams -- including King and Racine Case -- could rightfully have reached Madison.
Brown Deer, 23-5 (no change)
What a postseason for the Brown Deer Falcons. After navigating a tough schedule and showing it belonged with some of the best in the state, Brown Deer capped the year with an electric run to the Division 3 state title, topping talented programs from Lodi and Roncalli to get atop the podium. Big men Devante Jackson and Jerry Luckett (pictured) saw their stock rice precipitously in the home stretch.
Mukwonago, 18-9 (no change)
Mukwonago found itself outmatched by Neenah in the Division 1 state semifinal, but the program reaffirmed its run to the state title in 2013 with a follow-up appearance in the state tournament. Aaron Nixon and Dominic Cizauskas cap their careers having left huge imprints upon the program.
Oak Creek, 26-2 (no change)
Oak Creek grabbed its first state championship with a resounding win over Superior on March 22, one day after a stunning overtime win over undefeated Kimberly in the semifinal. Stephanie Kostowicz, who went on to hit 8 of 9 shots in the title game and score 19 points, hit a basket at the buzzer on an inbound of the semifinal to force overtime, where Oak Creek took control. Division 1 players such as Kostowicz and Tamya Sims (pictured) will be missed next year, along with point guard Katie Finn, but the Knights have etched their place in state basketball history.
Arrowhead, 23-3 (no change)
In a heartbreaker, Arrowhead fell by a 42-40 count to top-ranked Kimberly in the sectional final, when Frankie Wurtz of the Papermakers scored with 9.5 seconds left. It mirrored last year, when Arrowhead defeated Kimberly in the same spot similarly, on a buzzer beater. The Warhawks won the talent-rich Classic 8 and will still be very strong next year despite losing senior standout Kelly Smith.
Brookfield Central, 21-5 (no change)
Brookfield Central knocked off Divine Savior Holy Angels for a third time this season and capped off a brilliant 2013-14 in style, but the Lancers ran into Oak Creek in the sectional final and saw the season come to a close. Four of Central's five losses came against Oak Creek and Sussex Hamilton, and the program figures to remain elite in coming years.
Mukwonago, 20-7 (no change)
Bre Cera scored 20 points in the state semifinal and has reached the Resch Center in her first two years on varsity, but the Indians were turned back at the buzzer by Superior in a heartbreaker. Still, with Cera and fellow sophomore Morgan Glatczak (6-4 post, pictured) in the mix, the cupboard is not bare for the Indians in 2014-15.
Germantown, 19-6 (no change)
Germantown simply couldn't hang with the other Warhawks, Arrowhead, in the sectional semifinal, but it was still a banner year for a Germantown team that won its first North Shore title since 1977.
Greendale, 18-9

The Germantown boys basketball team eclipsed the 62-game winning streak by Dominican from 1977-80, considered a state record, finishing with 69 straight wins. A look at the chase:
Jan. 14, 2014: Brookfield Central 68. Germantown 58 (historical run comes to end)
No. 69: Germantown 72, Homestead 63 (Even Wesenberg: 20 points)
No. 68: Germantown 87, Madison LaFollette 44 (Jake Showalter: 31 points)
No. 67: Germantown 81, Oshkosh North 55 (L. Bearden/Hudson: 14 points)
No. 66: Germantown 75, Milwaukee Vincent 60 (Lamonte Bearden: 25 points)
No. 65: Germantown 68, Milwaukee Pius XI 44 (Jake Showalter: 18 points)
No. 64: Germantown 73, Grafton 50 (Jake Showalter: 25 points)
No. 63: Germantown 90, Milw. Lutheran 63 (sets new state record, Wesenberg/Showalter: 17 points)
No. 62: Germantown 75, Dominican 29 (Lamonte Bearden: 22 points)
No. 61: Germantown 88, Cedarburg 42 (Evan Wesenberg: 20 points)
No. 60: Germantown 83, Menomonee Falls 47 (Brian Bearden: 23 points)
No. 59: Germantown 80, Whitefish Bay 72 (Lamonte Bearden: 29 points)
No. 58: Germantown 81, Port Washington 41 (Jake Showalter: 21 points)
No. 57: Germantown 87, Milwaukee Lutheran 35 (Lamonte Bearden: 20 points)
No. 56: Germantown 57, Mukwonago 28 (2013 WIAA Division 1 state championship, Luke Fischer: 17 points)
No. 55: Germantown 80, Oshkosh North 60 (state semifinal, Luke Fischer: 32 points)
*If Dominican's forfeit win over Thomas More in 1980 is counted, streak extends to 71 games. Germantown's 71st straight win would come Jan. 17 at Port Washington, and Game 72 would be Jan. 24 vs. Whitefish Bay.
Streak numbers
Games in which Germantown scored 100 points: 3
Games in which Germantown scored 90+ points: 15
Games in which Germantown scored 80+ points: 31
Games in which Germantown won by 50+ points: 8
Games in which Germantown won by 40+ points: 20
Games in which Germantown won by 30+ points: 36
Games in which Germantown won by 20 or less: 15
Games in which Germantown won by single digits: 6
Games decided by one possession: 2
Wins over eventual conference champions: 16
Dominican and Germantown both became three-peat champions with their wins at the WIAA state tournament over the weekend, joining some lofty company. Other schools to win three straight include Beloit (1932-34), Marathon (1975-77), Milwaukee Vincent (1996-98) and Racine St. Catherine (2005-07). Both will thake their shot at Randolph (2002-05), the only program to win four straight.

The clichés fit Morgan Florsheim, the breath of fresh air who leads Shorewood's girls cross country program and is the Journal Sentinel's runner of the year.
Oak Creek's fortunes this season pivoted around post players Tamya Sims and Stephanie Kostowicz, but Katie Finn played a huge role in her team's state championship performance over the season's final weekend. She scored 16 points with 8 rebounds and 4 assists in an overtime win over undefeated Kimberly in the semifinal, then finished with 15 points, 4 boards and three helpers in the lopsided state-title win over Superior, hitting 4 of 5 shots and all three 3-pointers in the process.
Previous winners:
We check in with past area basketball players and ask about their experiences at the state tournament.
Before she was the national Player of the Year in NCAA Division III basketball at Oshkosh, Franklin's Kay (Mikolajczak) Chmielewski was a key component of the Sabers' run to the state championship game in 1999 and another state appearance in 2000. She also played alongside best friend Christine Rathke, a fierce competior memorialized by an annual girls hoops tourney at Franklin. "I don't think anyone could deny that the root of our success began deep within one player and overflowed to the rest of us. If you ask me what made our team so successful, my answer would be, 'Christine Rathke did.'

Division 1 title: Germantown 48, Neenah 42. The Warhawks withstood a late Neenah surge for their third straight state championship. Brothers Brian Bearden and Lamonte Bearden both had 13 points.
Division 2 title: Wisconsin Lutheran 61, Rice Lake 46. With a stable of quick guards able to counteract Rice Lake star Henry Ellenson, balanced Wisco picked up 18 points from Anthony Carver and won its second title.
Division 3 title: Brown Deer 59, Lodi 37. Dunk-friendly Brown Deer finished its amazing postseason run by dispatching Lodi behind 18 points from all-tournament guard Lewrenzo Byers.
Division 4 title: Dominican 74, Blair-Taylor 50. Big man Diamond Stone finished with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 blocks (and that may have only been his second most-impressive line of the weekend).
Division 5 title: Thorp 49, N.E.W. Lutheran 42. Isaac LaGasse scored 20 points in the lone close championship game of the day, and Thorp rallied from a 20-13 halftime deficit. It was a Cinderella finish for the 18-9 Cardinals.
Division 1 title: Oak Creek 73, Superior 52. After a thrilling semifinal win over Kimberly the night before, Oak Creek shot a blistering 67 percent and shut down Superior for the first state title in Oak Creek history.
Division 2 title: Notre Dame 52, DeForest 42. DeForest made it a game, but in the end, defending state champion Notre Dame (and tournament MVP Allison LeClaire) were too tough for the Norskies. Eliza Campbell finished with 12 points and 11 boards.
Division 3 title: Kettle Moraine Lutheran 28, Neillsville 23. The lowest-scoring title game in girls tournament history went to the Chargers, who held off undefeated Neillsville thanks in part to Andrea Meinert's 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Division 4 title: Cuba City 49, Algoma 28. The Cubans took down the defending state champion with a convincing performance led by Molly Wedige, who posted 18 points and 15 rebounds. Jessi Marti added 15 points, and Chloe Pustina posted 9.
Division 5 title: Barneveld 38, Assumption 34. Barneveld capped the only undefeated season of any team in the state with a tight battle that came down to a turnover in the final seconds, after which Barneveld hit two free throws with 1 second on the clock.

Time to address property taxesApril 15,2014The reform in education has gained momentum this year as property owners question their rising taxes and the results of quality education in our schools. A recent approval of a 4 cent increase in residential tax rates and a 7.5 cent increase on nonresident taxes for 2014 and more to come next year certainly have caused 23 towns to reject their school budgets. This should be of concern to our state representatives. The state Legislature and governor blame these increases on our local school boards and voters. Not so fast. The Brigham decision was meant to equalize education throughout the state so that each school would benefit from equal spending per student. Unfortunately, Vermont has lost 15 percent of its students under Act 60/68 while the spending continues to rise.
Currently, Vermont has 85,000 students, and the costs have risen from $600 million to $1.4 billion per year over the past 12 years. To pay for this increase, property taxes continue to rise. One reason is that the state has not funded its share of these increases by large amounts. It has found surplus funds to help cover the gap, but this will go away after this year.
Another big issue is income sensitivity. Approximately, 70 percent of Vermonters are voting on school spending while at the very same time they are not being affected by the rising cost. This is because 70 percent pay their property taxes based upon income, which is capped at 1.9 percent of their income. As such, if these income-sensitized voters are capped, they really do not care because if they get a $5,000 property tax bill, they only pay 1.9 percent or, let us say, at $50,000 income, or only $950. The rest of the taxes due come from those who have higher incomes above $90,000, which includes every out-of-state property owner. And these nonresidents cannot vote.
Another negative to this whole Act 60/68 dilemma is the equity value of our homes. Property owners, which includes nonresidents and higher-income residents, are paying larger taxes, and this is contributing to lower values of homes and in turn the selling value. In fact, the assessed values in many towns based upon the coefficient of dispersion are over-appraised. The equity value of a home is decreased by the taxes paid on the property. As such, the market value is going down while the taxes are going up, even when there are fewer students.
One must ask just one or two questions to our legislators. If plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, lumber sales, carpeting and Realtors are not making a solid living, why would they continue to live in Vermont? The second question is: Why would anyone want to build a new house or remodel an old house, if their property taxes are going up?

Power Nozzles
Power nozzles are vacuum cleaner attachments that are used to clean the nooks of the room where the hose and wands cannot reach. It is also useful to remove the dirt and debris from upholstery and furniture. This is one the accessories that come along with all models and brands of vacuum cleaners. A few of the leading brands of vacuums include Eureka, Hoover, Rainbow, Bissell, Dirt Devil and many more.
How to remove the power-nozzle in Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner
If you want to replace the belt of this brand of vacuum or clean the brush or store the vacuum, the power nozzle has to be removed. Let's see how to take apart the power-nozzle.
• Press down the tab where the wand is attached to the plastic suction pipe. Gently pull the metal pipe away from this handle.
• Now press the tab to remove the power nozzle footplate and pull the wand free. So now you have three parts removed – the wand, suction pipe and wand.
• Using a flat-head screwdriver, flip the footplate over so the base points up. Remove the plastic plate from the underside of the footplate and keep it aside.
• Open the belt cover to gain access to the belt and brush. Lift the brush out of the footplate and unhook the belt from the brush and axle. Now you can clean the brush, replace the belt or simply store the power-nozzle.

Randy and Jason Sklar began as one zygote and later guest starred in many TV shows, including an Emmy Award winning episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, the FX hit "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as Adult Swim's Childrens' Hospital. They starred as conjoined twins in a memorable episode of Grey's Anatomy and as warring agents on HBO's Entourage. Of the Entourage episode, Entertainment Weekly television critic Paul Katz wrote of their turn, "in the hands of comedic masters, The Sklar Brothers, they made it soar." They've also appeared in such films as Touchstone's, Wild Hogs, and Fox Atomic's, The Comebacks. They currently host the critically acclaimed History Channel docucomedy
that highlights the ways in which statistics tell the story of America called The United Stats of America. In November of 2006, Randy and Jason wrapped their 4th and final season of their cult classic comedy series, Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic. They also wrote and appeared in a regular segment on ESPN's SportsCenter called, "The Bracket" from 2008 to 2009. In addition they regularly fill in as guest hosts for Jim Rome on his popular nationally syndicated radio show.
As stand up comedians, they recorded their second half hour Comedy Central Presents in November 2009 and it premiered in March of 2010. The Onion A.V. Club named their latest comedy CD
Hendersons And Daughters in their Top 10 Comedy albums of 2011.
And Neil Strausse of the New York Times said of the Sklars, "Their
comedy accepts the reality of being twins but does not use it as a
crutch. Instead," noted Strauss, "they work with their physical and
mental similarities and correspondences, their status as imperfect
carbon copies of each other. In their comedy, the straight man is often
an echo."
Randy and Jason currently reside in Los Angeles, where they record
their popular weekly sports comedy podcasts Sklarbro Country and
Sklarbro County for earwolf.com.
Perry Strong is an up and coming comedy talent inspired by the highs, lows and flows of New York City life, from the perspective of a native and denizen. His raw, daring observations about experiences with relationships, women and substance abuse hit both above the belt and well below. His humor, performed regularly at clubs in NYC and Los Angeles, have earned him a reputation as an edgy, "bewitching" performer inducing even skeptical adult audiences into laughter.
A charismatic stage presence, it's easy to forget that Perry has been formally performing for less than four years. He honed his standup as a regular within the NYC circuit, locally headlining Gotham Comedy Club, The Stand NYC and the Greenwich Village Comedy Club. Regionally, Perry has headlined at Joker's Wild in New Haven, CT. Breaking out of his immediate home area, Perry has also successfully taken his brand of humor to the Cape Fear Comedy Festival in Wilmington, NC and Comedy with Hannibal Burress At The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY.
Equally comfortable on-screen, Perry is a natural actor and commentator. His praise and skewering of pop star beauty and reputation fueled television credits that include 2012 appearances in three episodes of Vh1′s 100 Greatest Women In Music, as well as March 2013 appearances in all five episodes of Vh1′s 100 Sexiest Music Artists. Perry was featured in a spoof commercial on on TruTv's World's Smartest Inventions. In the last year, he has co-starred in the in the short film "You Good!" which screened at the Friar's Club Comedy Film Festival and The LA Comedy Festival. Perry's newest short film, "The Stick," has just completed post production and is being submitted to film festivals around the country.
From behind a camera, Perry has enjoyed a ten year career as a freelance media professional; camera operating, producing, editing and directing everything from short films and commercials to reality television and EPK's. In addition to co-starring, he also produced and edited "You Good!" as well as "The Stick." Perry's backstage maturity has also taken him into show promotion and management, evidenced by his 2013 "Dirty Thursdays" shows at The Stand NYC, mentioned in the "NSFW" section of Time Out NY Magazine (9/5 issue) and The ForgetMeNot Comedy Tour.
