Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center - Terrace Theater, 300 E Ocean Blvd,
In November of 2012 Jeff Dunham kicked off his all new Disorderly Conduct worldwide tour. The new tour offers his global fan base a brand new show packed with more laughs than ever before. Dunhams famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanuts own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself.

Dunham and his comedic sidekicks new Comedy Central one hour special entitled Minding the Monsters, aired on October 7th with a DVD released shortly after. The new show is the fifth in a string of record breaking specials. Minding the Monsters takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is, watch Bubba J rise from the dead, meet Peanuts alter ego, The Purple Avenger of the Night, and his spicy sidekick, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist!

The phenomenal international success of Dunham and his cohorts have been driven by his Comedy Central specials, which set global records for both ratings and sales. Dunhams 4th Comedy Central TV special Controlled Chaos, premiered to a staggering 8.3 million viewers overall making it the most viewed cable show that night. The global TV event enjoyed a never-before simultaneous same day worldwide debut in a dozen countries. Dunham continued to break ratings records at the end of 2011, when The Bio Channels premiere of Jeff Dunham: Birth of a Dummy became the networks top rated telecast ever.

When Dunham isnt on the road packing arenas full of enthusiastic fans here and abroad, one of his favorite pursuits is his collection of classic American-made muscle and sports cars and other vehicles. For this years SEMA Show in Las Vegas " the largest automotive specialty products trade event in the world he teamed up with the Chrysler Groups Mopar Street and Racing Technology team to create a customized 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 dubbed Project UltraViolet for its vivid violet paint job with a black rooftop that was a highlight of the event.

No wonder The New York Times Magazine declared Jeff Dunham the most successful comedian working in America. Dunham was recently named Pollstars #1 Comedy Tour in North America for three years running as well as their Top Worldwide Tour for the third year in a row. In addition, Dunhams undeniable talent placed him on Forbes magazines Celebrity 100 roster of most powerful entertainers for the past four years. .

Dunhams autobiography All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, And Me debuted in late 2010 and instantly climbed the New York Times best sellers list and achieved a Five-Star Reader Rating on Amazon. The book candidly recounts Dunhams amazing rise to international fame beginning with his first public performances for a mere $5 a show as a fourth-grader in his Dallas, TX hometown, followed by years of intensive touring on the comedy club circuit from his college years into adulthood to becoming an international comedy phenomenon. . .

The amazing rise of Jeff Dunham continues apace, with 2012 having seen Jeff continue to pack arena-sized venues. He made his fourth trip to Europe this spring, stopping in the U.K., Germany, and Belgium. Dunham also completed his second trip to South Africa, playing to sold out crowds at some of the nations biggest venues in Cape Town, Durban, Sun City and Johannesburg, and is embarking on his second trip to Australia this summer.

Nadia Ali

It is sometimes hard to believe that the Grammy nomination for Nadia Alis Fantasy (Morgan Page Remix) is only one of many milestones marking her musical achievements. Nadias career exploded as a member of iiO with the massive 2001 hit, Rapture. Quickly leaping to #2 on the UK Singles chart, Rapture would propel Nadia into the spotlight and serve as a shadow of things to come. Now armed with a solid decade of commercial success and an almost feverish evolution of artistic expansion Something tells us that Nadia Ali is just warming up. To date, Nadias career as singer/songwriter has attracted a massive international following resulting from a masterful exploitation of captivating vocals and dance music. Nadia has attributed this unmistakable style to the overarching influence of her eastern ancestry, as well as the diverse cultural climate of her upbringing in Queens, New York.

Beginning in 2001, Nadias lush vocal style would take the world by storm, becoming a globally recognized trademark in the dance music industry, and keeping her in nonstop demand by the hottest innovative DJs worldwide. Recent and notable collaborations include: Schiller, Sultan & Ned Shepard, Chris Reece, Tocadisco, Serge Devant and Starkillers. In the mean time, Nadias recent team up with Armin Van Buuren, (ranked the # 1 DJ in the world for 4 consecutive years), has been generating a white-hot buzz. Jointly, Nadia and Armin shaped the brand-new dance track: Feels So Good and are currently carrying out a rigorous tour schedule on the "Armin Only Mirage" tour. Armin Only is an entirely sold-out world tour, filling arenas with tens of thousands of fans nightly.

Nadia Ali has continually proven her value with a growing list of global hits and chart-toppers that has expanded progressively over the years. These include: Rapture, At The End, Kiss You, and a #1 US Billboard Dance Chart hit with Is It Love in 2006. Nadias solo album Embers was released in 2009 and Fantasy soon followed, serving as a prologue to Queen of Clubs Trilogy: Best of Nadia Ali Remixed. In 2010, Nadia was nominated for Best Progressive/Tech House Track for Love Story at the International Dance Music Awards at the Winter Music Conference. She then neatly closed out the year 2010 with a Grammy nomination for her song Fantasy, under the Best Re-mixed Recording category. While Nadia has cultivated a score of industry accolades, 2010 marked the first occasion in which her work would receive the great honor and validation of a Grammy Nomination. If we are to learn anything from the pattern developing here, it could quite possibly be that Nadia Ali simply possesses both the clever intellect and raw talent required to amass this kind of staying power and that this past decade has only been the beginning.

Adam Beyer

Adam Beyer became dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm early on. After playing the drums as a teenager his obsession turned to the decks. In 1990 he bought his first set of turntables and started spinning a wide range of hiphop, hiphouse, acid and techno at local parties and clubs.

Beyer soon learned how to blend his sets in a thoughtfull and highly focused way, a talent that has now developed into his trademark style. In 92 Fellow school friend Peter Benisch introduced Beyer to the sampler, a year later they got their first record deal with New York based Direct Drive. After finishing school in 1995, Beyer started work at the Planet Rhythm record store while releasing some tracks under a variety of names and continually djing all over Scandinavia.

Adam Beyer sites Drumcodes 1 (Planet Rhythm 1995) as the first record to define his style; hard, percussive and loop oriented. This 12" names Beyer's future label and was soon followed by his critically acclaimed debut album Decoded (Planet Rhythm 1996). His need to create the perfect dj tool gave rise to the launch of the Drumcode label allowing him total musical freedom. The label"s strong concept and high production levels meant it enjoyed immediate success. After six releases Beyer launched his second label Code Red focusing on a slightly softer side of techno. Code Red finished with its 10th and final release Stand Down (Code Red 1999) which was a compilation of remixes from various international artists.

Tibetaans Boeddhistische Wijsheid

Openbare les met bekende Tibetaanse lama Zijne Eminentie Dzogchen Rinpoche

Hoewel we gelukkig willen zijn, maken we ons zorgen om geld, onze gezondheid en onze naasten, waardoor we gestresst raken en onze problemen alleen maar groter worden.

Omdat we niet begrijpen wat onze problemen veroorzaakt en wat de gevolgen van onze daden zijn, handelen we zonder het zicht en blijven we verward en onzeker.

Wanneer we leren om met wijsheid onze zorgen onder ogen te zien, kunnen we vol vertrouwen leven zonder bang te zijn.

Tijdens deze openbare les zal Dzogchen Rinpoche uitleggen hoe we zowel de oorzaken van lijden als die van vrede kunnen herkennen, zodat we kunnen kiezen voor een leven zonder zorgen.

Seven Year Itch: Whats next for microformats
7 years ago Kevin Marks and I presented “real world semantics” in an after-hours open sign-up slot at O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology (ETech) conference and first publicly introduced “microformats” to the world. To put it in perspective, that very same ETech saw the launch of Flickr, which just celebrated its 7th birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Flickr! ...
