October 9th, 2008 at 1:28 am
The problem with the slow video is because the slower pc's cannot render the video fast enough. I had this problem with my old computer. Try looking for .AVI or XVID versions and you shouldn't have any problems.

The "lore" history has been taken from world of warcraft lore, and Luke and the princess are like Arthas and Jaina.

"Today I am suspending the campaign, but suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship," Gingrich said. He thanked Rick Perry, Herman Cain and casino mogul and super PAC donor Sheldon Adelson, among others.
Gingrich said of South Carolina, where he won the Republican presidential primary, that he had "broken their tradition of always picking the nominee" and will always feel "slightly guilty" when traveling there.
At the end of his remarks, he tepidly endorsed the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney. "I'm asked sometimes, Is Mitt Romney conservative?" Gingrich said. "And my answer is simple: Compared to Barack Obama? This is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical leftist president in history."
Although Romney has not yet reached the number of delegates needed to officially clinch the Republican presidential nomination, he became the presumptive nominee weeks ago, when former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum announced an end to his candidacy. Gingrich, however, stayed on course, while his campaign drowned in debt and his chances for the nomination dropped to near zero.
From when he first announced his intention to run in May 2011 through his triumphant win in the South Carolina primary, Gingrich insisted that his mastery of conservative issues and his vast legislative experience was enough to beat President Barack Obama, but he failed to capture the support of the Republican primary electorate.
While Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann of Minnesota rode high in the summer of 2011, Gingrich was written off as a pretender. When Texas Gov. Rick Perry branded himself as the conservative alternative to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Gingrich trudged on.
"There are lots of bunny rabbits who run through," Gingrich would later say. "I am the tortoise. I just take one step at a time."
Gingrich began his presidential journey with some confusing reversals on major issues: In March 2011 it appeared the nation was about to engage in military action in Libya; Gingrich urged President Obama to get involved. But when the United States sent air support to Libya, Gingrich criticized the president, saying he would not have engaged.
In May of last year, Gingrich was a vocal opponent of Republican House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's Medicare reform proposal, calling it "right wing social engineering." When he subsequently apologized, he said anyone who quoted his comments was acting dishonestly.
Gingrich was also criticized for his personal life in the campaign's early days: Politico reported that Gingrich at one time personally owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the jewelry store Tiffany & Co (financial disclosure forms showed the debt had been paid in full.) He also briefly put the campaign on hiatus so he could take a luxury cruise in Greece with his third wife, Callista.

Among highly paid primetime cable hosts who commute weekly by private jet between rural Minnesota and Manhattan, Ed Schultz is as close to a perennial underdog as you could find. Schultz, the star of The Ed Show on MSNBC and one of the most popular liberal hosts in talk radio, has a talent for taking embattled positions that, after much sweating and shouting, become ideal vehicles for his carefully cultivated image as the one liberal loud and mean enough to stand up for the working man. He's both revered and hated as the media's most outspoken champion of the beaten-down labor movement. And he first came to national prominence in 2004, when he began what is now a nearly decade-long struggle to reverse the fortunes of progressive talk radio, where the most popular liberal hosts air on fewer than 100 affiliates, while Rush Limbaugh, the right's top talker, is on 600.
One area where even Schultz can't cast himself as underdog, for the moment at least, is ratings. After briefly moving from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the primetime reshuffling that followed Keith Olbermann's parting ways with MSNBC in 2011, The Ed Show finally settled in at 8 p.m., and went on to have an impressive year in 2012. The "fat, red-headed guy from Fargo," as Schultz refers to himself, handily beat the more camera-friendly Anderson Cooper in that timeslot. And while it seems no one ever will top Fox's Bill O'Reilly, Schultz earned MSNBC its best 8 p.m. ratings among the coveted 25-to-54 demographic since 2009.
But even as Schultz's audience grows, he's beginning to look out of place in an MSNBC lineup that is increasingly the domain of a wonky, erudite liberalism that is about as far from Schultz's fired-up everyman persona as 30 Rock is from Fargo. MSNBC President Phil Griffin has been working to make the network's brand more recognizable and coherent, and Brian Stelter, who covers the television industry for The New York Times, reported in November that anonymous sources within MSNBC had told him Schultz might be kicked out of primetime in favor of the wunderkind Ezra Klein. MSNBC denied it at the time, and when I recently suggested to Griffin that the MSNBC brand seemed to be moving away from Schultz, he disagreed: "I think we're always tinkering and evolving the brand. But I think Ed fits in there. And I think it's very important to have that voice talking about the issues the way Ed does."
Most likely, the contrast Schultz provides will remain popular with management for exactly as long as it remains popular with viewers, but a look at the heart of MSNBC primetime reveals an undeniable trend: At 10 p.m. there is Lawrence O'Donnell, a Harvard grad and former chief of staff of the Senate Finance Committee; Rachel Maddow, a former Rhodes Scholar who writes books with words like "unmooring" in the subtitle, is at 9 p.m.; and leading off is Schultz, a former NCAA Division II passing champion and owner of Big Eddie's North Country Lodge, which offers fishing vacation packages in northern Manitoba. MSNBC's weekend lineup, which the network considers a farm team for primetime, includes the decidedly un-Schultzian Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris-Perry, a professor of political science at Tulane.
It's enough to make you wonder how Schultz ended up here in the first place.
The grinder
There's one powerful interest group responsible for ensuring that Schultz has a live mic pointed at his mouth for four hours every weekday, and its name is Ed Schultz. He had help along the way, of course, including from some powerful entities (MSNBC and the Democratic Party chief among them) that felt they had something to gain by harnessing themselves to his ambition. But there certainly were more likely candidates for the job.
This out-of-nowhere quality has been a theme throughout Schultz's life. When he was a high school quarterback in Norfolk, VA, his singular focus was to become a professional football player—a long shot under the best of circumstances but especially so in Schultz's case. "He was not a natural athlete," a high school friend told The Virginian-Pilot in 2004, "but he was a grinder. He was real driven. He always had an idea he was going to be somebody, and he'd work as hard as it took to get there."

Pedal biking is an enjoyable activity for all ages, some folks like to pedal bike in the warmer seasons only. For others, its an all year round activity, pedal bike riders who commute to and from work for example. Others find that the advantages of continuing to use their pedal bike throughout the fall and winter are beneficial to their health and fitness. However, its important to remember that in addition to winterizing your pedal bike, you need to ensure that you take care of yourself. In other words, you also need to 'winterize' yourself.
How to winterize your pedal bike for winter pedal bike outings
The first thing to do is a quick maintenance as you normally do during the warmer seasons. Clean your pedal bike and chain. However you will need to use a different lubricant for decreasing as the usual t lubricants do not withstand adverse weather conditions. A lubricant with high viscosity is best and this will need to be done more frequently. The next thing is to do is prepare your tires ensuring that they are not too skinny and inflated properly. Check the seat as sometimes a small water residue may have built up and this can lead to corrosion. Fenders are a good idea and should be cleaned and checked frequently. If your pedal bike has clipless pedals these also need to be lubricated frequently otherwise there is the potential of them freezing up.read more information at http://www.superbikeplanet.com/winterize.htm
How to 'winterize' yourself for pedal bike outings
During colder weather its tempting to think along the lines of 'the more layers of clothing the better'. However this is not the case with pedal bike riding. Remember as you exercise, you generate heat and can quickly become hot and sweaty. So the best advice is to have one base level of clothing and a soft waterproof shell jacket. A warm liner in the helmet or a stocking cap on your head will help keep you warm. Waterproof gloves with grips on the finger area are best as this avoids slipping on wet handlebars.
How to winterize your pedal bike for storage
If you are storing your pedal bike outside the home in a garage or other locking point, you need to thoroughly clean and check it. Ensure that the tyres are fully inflated and check for any damage, turn your pedal bike upside down and leave standing for a short period to allow any water that has been trapped inside the seat to release. Thoroughly clean and dry the entire pedal bike, remove the chain and degrease At this point, its worthwhile taking the time out to do any repairs so that when the warmer seasons arrive your pedal bike is 'good to go'.for more details visit her latest blog post.

Safety Towing Tips & TerminologyThings that you should be familiar with before & while towing a trailer
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): is not a rating, it is the actual maximum weight of the tow vehicle when it is fully loaded including all options, cargo, personal belongings, food, water and LP gas.
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR): is the maximum permissible combined weight of the tow vehicle and the trailer together when they are fully loaded for travel.Unlaiden / Unloaded Vehicle Weight or Dry Weight (UVW) or (DW): is the actual weight of the tow vehicle or trailer as built at the factory. The UVW does not include passengers, cargo, dealer installed options, personal belongings, water, or LP gas.
Vehicle Tow Rating: Make sure your tow vehicle is capable of towing the intended trailer or accessory. The trailer or accessory and the vehicle work together in determining the maximum capacity. In no case should the GTW or TW exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle, your trailer or your accessory. Find this information in the vehicle owners manual or www.trailerlife.com, look under "tow ratings".
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): Is the maximum weight of the fully loaded trailer, as published on the Certification / VIN label. Actual weight determined by weighing trailer on a public scale, without being attached to the towing vehicle.
Hitch Weight: The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight - The sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity weight, and production options weight.Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The maximum weight that any axle can support, as published on the Certification / VIN label on the front left side of the trailer. Actual weight determined by weighing each axle on a public scale, with the trailer attached to the towing vehicle.
Both tire and VIN certification labels are permanently attached to the trailer near the left front corner or on the tongue of the trailer.
Both Tire And VIN Certification Labels are permanently attached to your tow vehicle on the drivers door panel or on the column behind drivers door. See owners manual for further details or specifications.
Understanding Tires:
Example: ST205/75R15 ST - Trailer Tires only LT - Light Trucks or Trailers P - Passenger Tires Next 3 Digits - give the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge Next 2 Digits - give the aspect ratio, the tires ratio of height to width R - Radials D - Bias Ply Last 2 Digits - gives the wheel or rim diameter in inches
Example: ST205/75R15
Bias ply tire: A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at alternate angles substantially less than 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread.
Example - ST205/75D15
Radial ply tire: A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at substantially 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread.
Example – ST205/75R15
Load rating: The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.Tire Ply: Is the number of layers of rubber coated fabric in the tire.Load Range: (Load range = 2ply/ Letter) Letters are used to identify a given size tire with its load and inflation limits, when used in a specific type of service.
Example: Load Range D tire = 8 ply or Load Range C = 6 ply
Tires/ Tire Pressure: - Always use the proper size tire/weight rating for the trailer & maintain manufacturers recommended tire pressure.Recommended inflation pressure is provided by the vehicle manufacturer on the tire sidewall and on the Certification / VIN tag, which is usually located at the front left side of the trailer.
Hitch Terminology:
GTW = Gross Trailer Weight - the weight of the trailer fully loaded TW=Tongue Weight-The downward force that is exerted on the hitch ball by the coupler. The tongue weight will vary depending on where the load ia positioned in relationship to the trailer axle(s).WC = Weight Carrying - The total weight of both the trailer and cargo inside. Never exceed the weight capacity of your trailer hitch. This applies to loads without a weight distribution systemWD = Weight Distributing - Used to balance the weight of the cargo between the front and rear wheels throughout the trailer, alowing for better steering, braking, and level riding. Not to be used on class 1 or 2 receivers, or with surgebrakes.
To select the right hitch for your vehicle:
1. Check the towing capacity of you tow vehicle. 2. Determine the gross trailer weight (GTW) of your tow item. 3. Select the class of hitch rated for you vehicle.
NOTE: Never tow a trailer with a gross trailer weight greater than the vehicle manufacture's rating. It could cause damage to the vehicle's engine transmission and frame. And could void any manufacture's warranties. A higher class of hitch DOES NOT increase the vehicle's tow capacity.
Vehicle Type >>
Hitch Ball:
Always be sure that the ball size & trailer coupler size are matched, and weight rating is sufficient for the trailer being towed.
Weight Distributing Hitch Systems:
"also referred to as sway bars, leveling bars, etc." are designed to increase the capacity of the towing system when added to a Class III, IV or V trailer hitch. The idea is to distribute the load of the trailer evenly to the entire tow vehicle and trailer wheels. To accomplish this, spring bars are used to absorb load and level the trailer. This offers a more level ride, improved steering and increased braking control, all the while enhancing towing safety.
Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Hitch is the most common. (as shown above)
What is included with a Weight Distribution Hitch?
1. Adjustable Weight Distribution Shank 2. Spring Bars 3. Adjustable Ball Mount 4. Hook-up Brackets 5. Hook-up Chains 6. Pin & Clip (not pictured)Note: Weight Distribution Hitches DO NOT include hitch ball Recommend 2 5/16" A-6 or 2" A-90 Trailer Ball
Check level of the trailer:
Always try to maintain the trailer coupler & vehicle hitch in a level position to help minimize fishtailing. Fishtailing refers to the erratic side to side movement of the trailer. It is important when towing a trailer whether it is a bumper pull or a gooseneck style to achieve a level position when loaded. The reason for this is that you want to have an even weight displacement on the axles. For example, if the trailer is to high in the front excessive stress may be applied to the rear axle and/or if the front of the trailer is to low the front axle may become stressed. In extreme cases this can lead to axle failure due to overloading. When hitching up to an unloaded trailer we recommend having the trailer set up slightly higher in the front to allow for settling once the trailer is loaded. Further adjustment of trailer front height may be required as load conditions change.
Cargo Placement:
Always keep your load balanced front/back & side/side as not to have too much or too little weight on the tongue. The tongue weight should never exceed 10% of the Gross Towing Weight.
Load Securement:
Make sure that all items are properly secured inside & on the trailer. The driver is responsible for anything that may separate from the trailer.
Refer to: www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations
Axle Types:
Torflex® axles are designed as a completely self-contained axle and suspension system. This trailing arm type torsion axle employs natural rubber cords supporting heat treated inner bars of solid, medium carbon steel. Press-fitted and welded to the ends of this independently floating bar are high strength steel torsion arm/spindle assemblies. These arms can be specified to a range of starting angles, which allow the designer to tailor the running height of the vehicle.
Torsion Axle
Leaf Spring axles utilize high strength steel spindles welded to high strength tubing to form an axle beam. The spindles are usually available in either a straight or drop design to help designers establish the desired frame height or ground clearance. Leaf springs are attached to the axle using u-bolts and can be positioned either under or over the tube. Use under mounted springs (underslung) to lower the frame height and over mounted springs (overslung) to raise the frame height.
Spring Axle
Ball Mounts:
The ball mount is placed inside the opening of the receiver hitch which is mounted to the vehicle. Make sure a hitch pin is properly securing the ball mount to the receiver hitch before you begin towing. Ball mounts are grouped into three (3) styles.
Trailer Ball:
The most important connection from the hitch to the trailer.There are many factors that determine the correct hitch ball:
Most important is the hitch ball's gross trailer weight rating The mounting platform must be at least 3/8" think The hole diameter must not be more than 1/16" larger than the threaded shank Every time you tow, check the nut and lock washer to make sure they are fastened securely
The component that is placed over the trailer ball to connect the vehicle to the trailer. Be sure that the coupler size matches the size of the hitch ball and that the coupler handle is securely fastened. To determine what size hitch ball you need for your application you will need to know the size of the coupler that is on the trailer. Be sure your coupler is properly adjusted to the ball you are using.
Pin & Clip:
For securing all ball mounts to receiver style hitches. Hitch Locks protect against ball mount theft.
Safety Chains: Must always be cross hooked
Safety chains are a requirement and should be crossed under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated form the hitch. Always leave enough slack so you can turn. Never allow the safety chains to drag on the ground and never attach the chains to the bumper.
Trailer Classification: Safety Chain Breaking Force - MinimumClass 1: 2,000 lbs. (8.9 kN)Class 2: 3,500 lbs. (15.6 kN)Class 3: 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN)
The strength rating of each length of safety chain or its equivalent and its attachments shall be equal to or exceed in minimum breaking force the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer.
Every time you tow, be sure to check that all components are working properly -
trailer lights, electrical brakes, break-away systems.

We met the mother! Ted's wife was finally revealed on the May 13 season finale of 'How I Met Your Mother' after 183 episodes!
After eight seasons, How I Met Your Mother revealed the mother, drawing mixed reactions from longtime fans! While we don't know much about her character, we do know that Ted's (Josh Radnor) wife will be played by Broadway actress Cristin Milioti.
'HIMYM' Mother Is Cristin Milioti — Watch The Reveal
The unveiling took place in the last few seconds of the season eight finale on May 13. Cristin's yet-unnamed character walked up to a Long Island Rail Road ticket booth to purchase one ticket to Farhampton, likely on her way to play in the band at Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin's (Cobie Smulders) wedding.
If you're a casual fan, you may have missed the big reveal. It wasn't exactly spelled out on screen, but longtime fans noticed Cristin's character holding a yellow umbrella, an accessory Ted previously noted was the woman's signature, and identifying item.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you happy with the reveal? Watch the dramatic video below!

So disappointed! She is not what I wanted at all for the mother! I was hoping for Sophia Bush, she is beautiful and would fit right in with the gang (she is also a great actress, I loved her on OTH) I am almost in agreement with the people who said lets not ever meet the mother because now there is a good possibility that I will not like her and it will wreck the whole series for me.

The scene above sends shivers of pain and fear through all Australian cricket lovers. Nothing stirs the loins of a fan like the Ashes and 2013 provides an absolute feast of hostilities between these two most patriotic rivals. Because of the 2015 World Cup held in Australia the series in Oz has been brought forward a year. So in 2013 there will be five Ashes Tests held in England followed just months later by a series in Australia. For some it may seem like overkill, for others it is a dream come true. And in all likelihood it will be a battle between the No.1 and No.2 ranked Test teams in the world at the time. Yum.

Numbers 4 and 5 ranked in the world I would say.
ReplyI'll be at the MCG for the first day of the boxing day test come hell or high water. Who'd miss it?
ReplyNo British and Irish Lions Tour! Will be the Biggest sporting event in 2013. Much bigger than a single AFL game or a horse race! Dear o dear.

Do Something Crazy for Her
One day I tricked my girlfriend into thinking we were going out to a very nice restaurant...in place of this I set up a very romantic scene: pinning white sheets all over inside a portable 'pavilion' outside (id laid carpet down), placing candles on the surfaces they were draped over. She was so surprised! For the remainder of the dinner (I had the gourmet food id cooked earlier placed on hot plates in a conjoining area) we sat in a blissful silence, smiling at each other, listening to the crickets. Beforehand, Id asked her if she would like to plan what we would do after dinner ...we danced (beginning with the song we first danced to) under the stars for what seemed like hours laughing together the entire time and watched a movie. --Ive posted this as an example for other guys looking to either spark a parallel night or to rekindle their spark. Its a lot of work but well worth it in the end.

Saint Carloman
Eldest son of Charles Martel. King of Austrasia in 741. Supported the founding of monasteries at Fulda in Germany, and of Lobbes and Stavelot in Belgium. Supported the missionary work of Saint Boniface. Late in life, and on the advice of Saint Boniface, Carloman abdicated the throne in favour of his brother, and became a monk, first on Mount Soracte and then Monte Cassino in Italy where he worked in the kitchen and as a shepherd.

What are the pros? high yield, best taste pickle
What are the cons? nothing to dislike
These cucumbers are extremely high yield, good tasting fresh.. but also makes the very best tasting pickle I've ever canned! Since I primarily grow for pickles it will likely be the only cucumber I ever grow again
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
3 out of 3 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Great tasting, easy from seed
What are the cons? smaller than expected
Great tasting cucumber including skin(not bitter). Over ripens quickly, even when small but great flavor and easy to grow in heat and humidity. Has not been bothered by disease or insects. Will grow again.
5 out of 5 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Great yield, not bitter
What are the cons? None
I am not a huge fan of cucumbers generally. I grow them every year because typically cucumbers are easy to grow and produce. However, most cucumbers I've tried have always been to strong-tasting to me. I'm one that if you get a slice of cucumber on a salad and take it off I can still taste the cucumber. This cucumber is wonderful and tastes just right. Enough of a cucumber flavor without bitterness and such a crunchy, meaty texture. The yields on this cucumber are phenomenal! I don't typically like to share my vegetables, but I had so many, I couldn't keep up with eating these. Needless to say, my coworkers were very happy to eat some up for me. Highly recommend!

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
Very impressed! This cucumber did excellent. Nice crisp flavor. No peeling needed. These produced a large amount of cucumbers even in the Texas heat. This will be a staple in my garden.

I love these cuccumber. I live in Peidmont NC and these grow in almost full shade throught spring and summer. I was amazed at how hardy these cuccumber are. They have a wonderful taste and small size. Heavy producers. I can't wait to grow next year. I wanted to pickle some, so good fresh.

Ben Kronberg Turns Harsh LAST COMIC STANDING Judgment to His Advantage
By Jake Kroeger on May 30, 2014
Last week, the stand-up comedy reality competition series Last Comic Standing returned to NBC for its eighth season, ironically enough, with a little drama. Contestant Ben Kronberg performed his set, which has a seemingly awkward start in silence and Ben searching through his notebook for jokes. Last Comic Standing judge Roseanne Barr did not appreciate this move and described it as wasting time and not respecting the audience. Kronberg engaged in a back-and-forth with Barr that Ben had fun with, but one that Roseanne, yet again, did not appreciate.
The exchange ended with Roseanne telling Ben, "Go fuck yourself!" Following that, Kronberg took to Twitter and started the hashtag #GoFuckYourselfBen to satirize Roseanne's remarks on his performance. It shouldn't surprise you that Ben's hashtag became popular with plenty of fans and other comedians jokingly telling Ben to #GoFuckYourselfBen. Kronberg took Roseanne's "advice" and made it to something viral, probably to the chagrin of Roseanne.
Now, before we go any further, you should note that reality TV competitions are edited for television. As shocking as it may be, the performers featured may not be as bad (or good) as the show would have you believe. In talking to several comedians who have been in the preliminary rounds of any season of Last Comic Standing, many have commented that they had a great set only to find criticism from the judges. Thus, a comedian's set on a televised competition series might not get to play out on TV the way that a comedian intended.
If you're familiar with Kronberg from his late night stand-up appearances or his half hour special on Comedy Central, you might know that Kronberg is an atypical and very funny stand-up. That long pause at top of his LCS set is something he does quite often to big laughs. Ben has also found a way to make looking through his notebook, a practice that is often frowned upon in stand-up, another unique, funny facet of his comedy.
30 years ago, Roseanne Barr made it big as a stand-up comedian. A product of the stand-up comedy boom of the 80s, she thrived and worked her way to getting her own sitcom with her name on it, Roseanne. It might sound obvious, but stand-up comedy was different back in 1984. The Internet didn't exist, the styles of comedy weren't as diverse as they are today, and many audiences were enjoying the first boom of popularity for a fledgling art form.
Nowadays, the Internet is an essential part of our lives, so many different types of comedy are finding their fan bases, and people's tastes have gotten more sophisticated having already seen a decent amount of stand-up comedy. That's why Kronberg can challenge certain tenets of the art form and still be hilarious. Even after a week of this happening, people as well as Ben himself are still enjoying tweeting #GoFuckYourselfBen.
Yikes… judging by the FB comments, Nerdist is no longer a sanctuary for standup nerds.
I understand you can edit clips to make people look bad, but from what was shown, he just seemed like an arrogant jerk. Judges are there to criticize, and contestants are there to be judged. It was disrespectful of him to speak to her the way he did.
He seemed to me in his responses at the end to be, fairly explicitly, "doing a Roseanne", giving back the same attitude she had, making light of criticism while at the same time not just accepting it and so on. Watch her stand-up and you'd see some of the same speech patterns he used.
He was playing his response for laughs in other words. Stand-ups are independent by nature and irreverent by profession. Expecting him to just stand there and take it is unrealistic. What I would've expected is for Roseanne to see what he was doing and maybe roll with it a bit more but it's a sad fact of life that as we age we tend to lose our playfulness.
That was his. He was being Andy kaughmanisque
Wow, apparently Rosanne doesn't like being challenged, like at all. Clearly he had a bit about challenging perceptions of a comedy show (not sure if this was a venue for that) so he tried to flip the whole idea on it's head. I've seen it done better but damn Rosanne, roll with the bit, give the guy a chance.
The buttsex/poop handjob joke was great.
Actually, that's an old Billy Connolly joke (it's in his An Audience With… special from the early 80s) and it is a great joke. It's on YouTube if you want to see it done really well.
Roseanne not seeing that is typical 'think of something to say to justify my role' bullshit, but the comic should have had the sense to shut up and listen, he's put himself in that position, no-one is dumb enough to think these TV 'talent shows' are fair, or geared towards the contestants.
Showing off like that is the equivalent of being snarky to the cop who's pulled you over when you know you've had one beer too many, fucking stupid.
I should say, I've not heard or seen this guy outside of this (also heavily edited) clip, so I'm in no way commenting on him as a stand up.
You actually make Roseanne's point for her. Her complaint was that the bit was not original, had been done before better, and since the standup had a short time in this format, it was a waste of time. I don't think you're disputing ANY of her points. And I'm not a fan of Roseanne.
Ah, right (that's not in the clip above, and this show doesn't air in the UK), in that case Roseanne is a genius…
It's more like being snarky to a cop who's pulled you over when you get paid to be snarky and you know there are cameras broadcasting your responses to an audience of potential fans who *might* appreciate your snark i.e. it could be worth a night in jail.
Turns out the audience seemed to be largely on Roseanne's side but hindsight's 20/20 right ?
Yeah, problem with that is the cop writes down your snark and reads it out in court with all the humour and inflection removed, and you sound like a dick – much like with everything written in the comments on the internet…
Is comedy more diverse today than the 80s? I think comics like to think so, but the trailblazers of the 70s were out there with the new wave that became mainstreams of the 90s, mixed with the Emos and Sams of that time.
Seems like more diverse comedy is more likely to find an audience but it's hard to say whether it's actually more diverse per se – in the 70s you could have highly experimental, form defying stuff that's only playing to tiny rooms so maybe a few hundred people, total, ever saw it. Nowadays, with the net, even the most out-there stuff could find its niche and have tens of thousands of fans.
We have to be more aware of form and genre today too right ? Which means it's easier to play with it.
I still can't tell if this show is good for comedy or if it's really really bad for comedy… I'm kinda thinking the latter. I enjoy Ben Kronberg, he does a lot of alternative stuff which I love. I guess the exposure is good for comedians though…
Rosanne says he was being disrespectful to the audience, so why were they laughing. I found it funny.
Roseanne sucks. shes on a power trip each show and laughs annoyingly loud at nothing during sets. Ive watched every season of last comic standing but this season is the worst. I wont be watching anymore, mainly because of Barr.
Why is Roseanne so serious and rude?

Family Sapindaceae
or shrubs
(or woody vines
with tendrils
in Cardiospermum and allied genera), rarely herbaceous climbers
. Indumentum usually of simple
, often glandular
on young parts, buds, and inflorescences. Leaves alternate, usually estipulate; leaf blade
pinnate or digitate, rarely simple; leaflets
alternate to opposite, entire or dentate
to serrate. Inflorescence a terminal
or axillary
; bracts and bracteoles small. Flowers unisexual
, rarely polygamous or bisexual
, actinomorphic
or zygomorphic, usually small. Sepals 4 or 5(or 6), equal or unequal, free
or connate
at base
, imbricate or valvate
. Petals 4 or 5(or 6), sometimes absent, free, imbricate, usually clawed, often with scales
or hair-tufted basal appendages
. Disk conspicuous
, fleshy
, complete
or interrupted
, lobed
or annular
, rarely absent. Stamens 5-10(-74), usually 8, rarely numerous
, variously inserted
but usually within disk, often exserted in male flowers; filaments
free, rarely connate; anthers
, longitudinally dehiscent
, introrse
; staminodes sometimes present in carpellate
flowers, but filaments shorter and anthers with a thick wall, indehiscent. Ovary superior, (1-) 3(or 4) -loculed; ovules 1 or 2(or several) per locule, placentation axile
, rarely parietal
, anatropous
, campylotropous, or amphitropous
; style usually apical (terminal), semigynobasic in Allophylus [gynobasic
in Deinbollia Schumacher & Thonning]; stigma entire or 2 or 3(or 4) -lobed, usually rudimentary
in male flowers. Fruit a loculicidal capsule, berry, or drupe, or consisting of 2 or 3 samaras, often 1-seeded and 1-loculed by abortion
. Seeds 1(or 2 or more) per locule; testa black or brown, hard, often with a conspicuous fleshy aril or sarcotesta
; embryo curved
, plicate
, or twisted, oily and starchy; endosperm usually absent. 2n = 20-36.
One hundred
thirty-five genera and ca.
1500 species: widely distributed in tropical
and subtropical
regions, especially well represented in tropical SE Asia; 21 genera (one endemic) and 52 species (16 endemic, one introduced
) in China.
There is some variation
in the circumscription of Sapindaceae in taxonomic
treatments, particularly with regard to the inclusion of genera from the closely related, predominately temperate
families Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae. Several studies including Müller and Leenhouts (in Ferguson & Müller, Evolutionary Significance Exine: 407-445. 1976), and more recently those based on molecular data (Stevens, Angiosperm Phylogeny Website, 2001 onward; Harrington et al.
, Syst. Bot. 30: 366-382. 2005), supported the recognition of a broadly defined Sapindaceae incorporating Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae. Harrington et al. (loc. cit.
) proposed four subfamilies or clades, comprising Sapindoideae (including
Koelreuteria and Ungnadia Endlicher), Dodonaeoideae, Hippocastanoideae (including taxa previously referred to Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae, plus Handeliodendron), and a monotypic "Xanthoceratoideae". Within Hippocastanoideae, Acer Linnaeus and Dipteronia Oliver comprise a monophyletic group and are treated in this Flora
as Aceraceae. Similarly, Aesculus Linnaeus, Billia Peyritsch, and the Chinese endemic Handeliodendron Rehder form a monophyletic group and are treated here as Hippocastanaceae. There is some support
for "Xanthoceratoideae" being the first lineage
to diverge within the broadly defined Sapindaceae assemblage; consequently, Xanthoceras is treated separately from genera in Sapindoideae and Dodonaeoideae in the following account of Sapindaceae s.s. The sequence of genera reflects Müller and Leenhouts (loc. cit.) as modified by recent analyses based on molecular and morphological data, rather than following the order
developed by Radlkofer (Sitzungsber. Math.-Phys. Cl. Königl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. München 20: 105-379. 1890; and in Engler, Pflanzenreich 98a-h(IV
. 165) : 1-1539. 1931-1934), which was previously followed in FRPS.
The main economic uses of this family
include (1) timber: Amesiodendron chinense, Dimocarpus longan, D. confinis, Litchi chinensis, Pavieasia kwangsiensis, and Pometia pinnata; (2) fruit: Dimocarpus longan, Litchi chinensis, and Nephelium lappaceum; (3) medicine: Dimocarpus longan (arillode
), Litchi chinensis (seeds), and Sapindus saponaria (roots
) ; (4) oil
: Amesiodendron chinense, Delavaya toxocarpa, and Xanthoceras sorbifolium. Saponins occur widely in the family, commonly used as a fish poison and for their detergent properties.[1]
Genus Cardiospermum
Herbaceous or woody climbers
, rarely shrubs
. Leaves usually biternate
or bitrilobate; stipules small, deciduous; leaflets
pinnately lobed
or dentate
, usually with pellucid
. Panicles axillary
; peduncles rather long, first pair of branches forming tendrils
or spines; bracts and bracteoles subulate
. Flowers unisexual
, zygomorphic, with slender noded pedicels. Sepals 4 or 5, imbricate, outer 2 smaller. Petals 4, with a large scale inside and slightly above base
; scales
of abaxial
petals with broadly winged
, scales of adaxial
petals simple
. Disk lobed into 2 large glandular
at base of petals. Stamens (male flowers) 8, slightly longer
than petals. Ovary (female flowers) ellipsoid
, trigonous
, 3-loculed; ovules 1 per locule, inserted
at middle
of middle axis; style short; stigma 3-lobed. Capsules inflated
, saclike, 3-loculed; pericarp membranous or papery
, veined. Seeds 1 per locule, subglobose; hilum
cordate or suborbicular
; embryo with large cotyledons, outer one arched, inner one reflexed
. 2n = 20, 22.

and subtropical
America; one species in China.[2]

I have been visiting regularly this impressive palace since its opening years ago. As a former private residence it keeps this amazing "home away from homw" feeling and the staff, managed by the family members, is attentative and discrete. Surrounded by a marvellous little private forest can be the best starting point for your adventures in the bellissima Umbria.
