Laughter is supposed to be the best medicine, and whether you’re dealing with a particularly stressful time in your life or simply need to relax after a long day of work, finding something to make yourself smile is always a great idea. And one of the major advantages of the world wide web is that there’s literally always something there designed to make you giggle and feel good. Whether it’s a bit more esoteric, like cats with text overlaid designed to make them sound like babies, or something more typical–like your favorite comedians doing sketches designed to go viral–the web is a true treasure trove of humor.

For anyone who has been dealing with the frustration of making video-heavy humor sites load on a dial-up connection, the good news is that satellite internet now makes it possible to get online to check out what’s funny no matter where you happen to live. And since laughter being the best medicine applies to all corners of the country, knowing that the punchline is all about timing and dial-up might ruin that means that those who are able are leaping to satellite internet as fast as possible more often than not.

If you’re now running at the same speed as broadband and hoping to LOL, knowing where to go can be a bit of a challenge–especially if you’ve already checked out your favorite websites and find their content a bit lacking. One great place to start out is with Awkward Family Photos. While it might sound a bit mean-spirited or as though it couldn’t possibly deliver time and time again, this is a well-curated blog. And this means that you’ll likely find yourself giggling more often than not, often straight-up guffawing. This is mostly due to the fact that no matter how diverse, most awkward family photos do share the same elements. And that will make them something that you’re laughing with, while remembering the time that you, too, were forced to pose in a truly embarrassing way.  Read more...

There are a lot of exciting things happening with TV right now. New developments in the ways we watch TV can be very beneficial, but they also take some effort to figure out. Fortunately if you categorize the different kinds of TV technology into a few categories that are easily understood, they can be a lot easier to use.

The three types of TV that you’re likely to come across from a TV service provider are standard definition television, high definition television, and video on demand. Standard definition television is the type of TV that we’re all used to because it has been around since the beginning of broadcast TV, although it’s in the process of conversion from analog transmission to digital transmission. Standard definition TV, which is also sometimes called SDTV for short, is primarily defined by the fact that it has a screen resolution of 480i which represents the number of lines of resolution that make up the picture and how they’re scanned onto the screen. A larger number indicates a more detailed picture and 480 is the minimum number of lines of resolution of the various television formats. SDTV often has a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio, but it can also appear in the wider 16:9 aspect ratio and can come with a variety of different sound formats.

High definition television, HDTV, or simply HD, is a more recent and much more advanced TV format. HDTV can come in a variety of resolutions- 720p, 1080i, or 1080p- but it only comes in the 16:9 aspect ratio and it’s minimum native sound format is Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. All of these properties combine to make HDTV a good way to get the big movie theater experience when you’re at home. The differences between HDTV and SDTV require HDTV programming to be transmitted over its own channels. HDTV channels can deliver SDTV programming, but SDTV channels don’t have enough bandwidth to deliver the more data intensive format of HDTV programming.  Read more...

Clevedon Animal Farm is located a few miles outside the village of Clevedon, New Zealand and is along the way to Kawakawa Bay. The Clevedon Animal Farm is at 271 Clevedon Kawakawa Road. After travelling for about 2 kilometers from the roundabout in Clevedon Village one can arrive to the Clevedon Animal Farm, the donkey sign towards the right of the road should point towards the Clevedon Animal Farm.
Clevedon Animal Farm was opened in 2001 by Lynn Collecutt on a 25 acre area in the Clevedon Valley. Lynn Collecutt has been training animals throughout her life and has won the National Obedience Trials with 2 distinct dogs. Her animal shows began when she was running a bed and breakfast place that went by the name Thaddeus’s Place, located south of Palmerston in a small country town called Shannon. The star of the initial shows was Thaddeus, her St. Bernard dog.
Activities at the Clevedon Animal Farm include Trained Animal Performances and pony rides, Farm walks and rides for the family, activities for a group or occasion such as children’s birthday parties and also a Senior Citizens Groups.
The Trained Animal Performances include animals (dogs, sheep, goats, horses and donkeys) performing in an outdoor gardened amphitheater. Kiddies parties seems to be very popular, other popular events include pony rides and family farm walks. The Senior Citizens Groups consist of home made morning tea accompanied by music and later an animal show is performed.
While visiting New Zealand a stay at one of the Auckland hotels would be recommended. Out of the many Auckland luxury hotels the Langham Hotel Auckland is a good recommendation.

Abraham Lincoln was well known in his day for his sense of humor, and often told funny stories to engage and earn the trust of his audience.

During the Civil War, he sometimes visited Washington area hospitals to lift the wounded soldiers’ spirits. After one such visit, a journalist entered a hospital to find infantrymen boisterously laughing and talking about the president. He found it curious to see injured men to be seemingly so healthy.

“You must be very slightly wounded,” he said to the soldier.

“Yes,” the soldier replied, “Very slightly. I have only lost one leg, and I’d be glad to lose the other, if I could hear some more of ‘Old Abe’s’ stories.”

What Honest Abe knew, and what more people should learn, is that humor is an incredibly powerful tool that can make anyone happy and attentive even in the most trying of circumstances. When somebody engages you with humor, you genuinely want to listen, and soak up more of what they are saying. If humor can engage and motivate someone subjected to Civil War era medicine, it can engage and motivate anyone. And that’s why hiring a motivational humorous speaker makes good sense!

Today, motivational humorous speakers use the massive power of comedy to make people laugh and increase personal potential. The magic of humorous motivational speaking is its ability to stimulate people with comedy while delivering gobs of inspirational content. Unfortunately, most traditional speakers (whose speeches can sometimes be as bad as Civil War era medicine) totally miss the chance to get their message across by dryly orating in a monotone and artless way.  Read more...
