The Archaeology Of Comedy.

Comedy Documentary Fulfilling A Bewildering Variety of Empty Promises!

The two hour search for comedy's Holy Grail continues in Dave and Tom's outrageous look back at the history of comedy. You've seen actors Dave Beeler and Tom Konkle on other tv shows, now watch them discover a lost Monty Python-influenced sketch comedy troupe that bucks the norm of sketch today; instead opting for a more deliberate and cerebral approach. Delightfully nostalgic yet unmistakably original, you'll be glued to your screen as they take a look back on "this business of funny." From prehistoric p**nography to poetic clowns on mountainsides, after watching Dave and Tom you'll agree that history has never been this much fun. A spoof of BBC and Discovery Channel documentaries that promise to reveal a great mystery, this DVD is as one reviewer put it, "a silly journey through a world of scenarios... ranging from unfathomable science discoveries to absurd game shows, from sickly polite bank robberies to egomaniacal hat entertainers... their work achieves comedy on a level commensurate with Monty Python, Mr. Show and Little Britain, and highlights a sparkling sense of the off-color, rude and the importance of wacky nonsense. Always unexpected and always entertaining..." Parental Discretion Is Advised. (Less)

Xcorps Action Sports Show #12.) "LUGE" seg.3 - Xcorps cameras were the only ones rolling at a grassroots guerilla style gravity sports event we call The Barrett Junction Shootout featuring downhill luge, stand up skate board, inline speed skate and gravity bike racing held at Barrett Junction near San Diego Ca. Firestorms raged as gravity riders from around the world zipped on leathers, checked trucks and let it go at the IGSA sanctioned event organized by rider Frank Waterhouse who broke the course record on the closed stretch of highway not far from the Mexican border.
Xcorps host Bob Woodard opens the show from San Diego riding the Speed Skater street luge equipped with the new SkateBrake. Not bad for a first run Bob! Our cameras were as committed as all those who showed up at the event amid warnings that out of control firestorms burned on all sides. Lots of big smoke and fire shots here as well as a dedication to all the victims of the biggest fire in San Diego history.
Papa Roach and Lo-Tel pump the action with X and Gravity Games winners like Rat Sult and the ever-loved Kludy pushing 60mph down the hair pinned and cliff edged coarse which offered no room for error. See riders in their best speed tucks and a sick head over heels wipeout by gravity bike rider Noah Rutherford who lives to tell the Xcorps cameras all about it. Yes we slo-mo the magic moments for our viewing audience. Noah split the bikes rims and will recover.
Inline speedskaters Dave Lambert and downhill champ George Merkert talk about their realm of the event and invite other skaters to go for speed while Donald Orlando shows off his 84mm 6 wheel skates he got up to 58mph! Nice. After that Xcorps guest host and gravity champ Rat Sult talks to the fiercest female competitor in the league Stacy Allen from Oklahoma and asks her how she got into the sport. Music from the Rolling Stones and Dr. Dre back the piece.
After the break speed board legend Kludy talks to the camera about the effects of big winds on course speed. Frank Homemade Waterhouse wraps the shootout with his thoughts, more race action and some powerful shots taken from space of the fires that surrounded the event closing all exit roads. Many camped the night.
Bob Woodard takes another luge run and opens for Xcorps host Jason Lazo who is in Detroit hanging with the So Cal band NHOI - Never Heard Of It - who are playing Saint Andrews Hall in the rock city. Jason talks with the band about their tour and proceeds to blow the place up! See the show for the fun details. Remember you saw this band first on Xcorps!
After that Jason intros a new video from our friends at Rive video promotions featuring music from Relapse Records band UNSANE. WARNING - fierce face grinding bone breaking skate wipeouts here. Wear your bloody helmit!
The show wraps with more skate punishment from Rive along with host Bob Woodard promising more action and music from the corps next week. Additional music by the Deftones and Drowning Pool. See The Action - Hear The Music - Join The Xcorps!
Check your bearings and wear leathers!

Terra Madre è un progetto concepito da Slow Food, frutto del suo percorso di crescita e che oggi ha il suo fulcro nella convinzione che “mangiare è un atto agricolo e produrre è un atto gastronomico”. Da sempre Slow Food si è schierato per i piaceri della tavola e il buon cibo e ha difeso le culture locali di fronte alla crescente omogeneizzazione imposta dalle logiche cosiddette moderne di produzione, distribuzione ed economia di scala. Ed è proprio seguendo fino in fondo queste logiche che Slow Food si è reso conto di quanto fosse necessario proteggere e sostenere i piccoli produttori, ma anche cambiare il sistema che li danneggia, mettendo insieme gli attori che hanno potere decisionale: consumatori, istituti di formazione, chef e cuochi, enti di ricerca agricola, organizzazioni non governative... Divenne evidente che si poteva avere un impatto significativo solo moltiplicando e cumulando azioni locali che seguissero una visione-guida globale.

Così è nata Terra Madre: per dare voce e visibilità ai contadini, pescatori e allevatori che popolano il nostro mondo. Per aumentare, nelle comunità dei produttori e nell’opinione pubblica, la consapevolezza di quanto è prezioso il loro lavoro. Per dare ai produttori qualche arma in più per continuare a lavorare in condizioni migliori, per il bene di tutti noi e del pianeta. Per queste ragioni, costruire una rete mondiale – che disponesse di strumenti di condivisione delle informazioni e che offrisse la possibilità di imparare dalle esperienze altrui e di collaborare con gli altri – è sembrato fondamentale. Il nostro obiettivo è continuare ad avere terre fertili, dove germoglino e crescano piante e animali adatti a quei particolari ambienti, piuttosto che dopati con sostanze chimiche che li fanno fruttare o ingrassare artificialmente. Il nostro obiettivo è continuare ad avere persone che custodiscono terre, saperi e cibi che hanno il gusto della nostra infanzia.

La rete di Terra Madre è stata lanciata nella riunione inaugurale del 2004 a Torino. Quel primo incontro ha radunato 5000 produttori da 130 paesi e ha attirato – come mai prima di allora – l’attenzione dei media sulle loro problematiche. La seconda edizione dell’incontro internazionale si è tenuta nel 2006 e ha coinvolto anche 1000 cuochi – dai più celebri ai più semplici –, tutti profondamente consapevoli delle responsabilità nei confronti dei produttori di qualità. Nel 2006 hanno partecipato alla riunione generale anche 400 ricercatori e accademici, nel tentativo di riavvicinare la teoria alle buone pratiche.

Un progetto così ambizioso non si sarebbe mai potuto realizzare senza il contributo di un gruppo di sostenitori molto motivati. Slow Food ha mobilitato istituzioni pubbliche, enti locali, regionali e nazionali per formare insieme la Fondazione Terra Madre. L’associazione ha anche favorito partnership con compagnie private e reti solidali, alcune delle quali si sono costituite appositamente per l’evento.

Terra Madre is a project conceived by Slow Food, the philosophy of which evolved over the the organization’s history and crystallized at its realization that “eating is an agricultural act and producing is a gastronomic act.” Slow Food had always stood for the pleasures of the table, for the importance of good-tasting food, and for the defense of cultures facing growing homogenization as a result of today’s so-called modern rationales regarding production, distribution, and economies of scale. It was where these “rationales” were leading that brought Slow Food to realize the need to protect and support small producers, and to change the systems that put them in danger by bringing together those players with decision-making power: consumers, educational institutions, chefs and cooks, agricultural research entities, NGOs, etc. It became clear that it is only through repeated, cumulative, local action, following a guiding global vision, that a significant impact can be achieved.

Thus Terra Madre was born: To give voice and visibility to the rural food producers who populate our world. To raise their awareness, as well as that of the population at large, of the value of their work. To sustain their ability to work under the best conditions, for all of our good and for the good of the planet. For these reasons, constructing a global network—with information-sharing tools, the means to learn from each other, and opportunities for collaboration in many ways—seemed invaluable. We must continue to have fertile lands, lands on which sprout and grow plants and animals appropriate to those environments, rather than needing to be pumped full of chemicals to make them thrive artificially. And we must also continue to have the people capable of stewarding these lands, to have their know-how, so we can have food that still carries the tastes of our youth.

The inaugural gathering of Terra Madre launched the network in 2004 in Torino, and was on an unprecedented scale. This first edition brought together 5000 producers from 130 countries and shone global media attention on their crisis. The second edition was in 2006, and incorporated an additional 1000 cooks, from renowned to modest, but all aware of their role relative to high-quality food producers. Also in attendance were 400 researchers and academics, seeking to bridge the theory of their work with hands-on practice.
A project of this scope could never have come into being without a dedicated core of partners. Slow Food rallied public institutions as well as local, regional, and national bodies to collectively form the Terra Madre Foundation, further partnering with private companies and numerous like-minded networks, some of which were established specially for the event.

http://www.A3Life.com - The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard returns to direct the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.

What terrifying discovery would make the Vatican turn to Robert Langdon, the man who cracked history’s most controversial code? When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati – the most powerful underground organization in history – he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. Upon learning that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, Langdon travels to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow the 400-year-old Path of Illumination that marks the Vatican's only hope for survival.
