Chapter 1 Economics: The Study of Choice
Start Up: Economics in the News
2008 seemed to be the year of economic news. From the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression to the possibility of a global recession, to gyrating gasoline and food prices, and to plunging housing prices, economic questions were the primary factors in the presidential campaign of 2008 and dominated the news generally.
What causes the prices of some good to rise while the prices of some other goods fall? Price determination is one of the things that we will study in this book. We will also consider factors that lead an economy to fall into a recession—and the attempts to limit it.
While the investigation of these problems surely falls within the province of economics, economics encompasses a far broader range of issues. Ultimately, economics is the study of choice. Because choices range over every imaginable aspect of human experience, so does economics. Economists have investigated the nature of family life, the arts, education, crime, sports, job creation—the list is virtually endless because so much of our lives involves making choices.
How do individuals make choices: Would you like better grades? More time to relax? More time watching movies? Getting better grades probably requires more time studying, and perhaps less relaxation and entertainment. Not only must we make choices as individuals, we must make choices as a society. Do we want a cleaner environment? Faster economic growth? Both may be desirable, but efforts to clean up the environment may conflict with faster economic growth. Society must make choices.
Economics is defined less by the subjects economists investigate than by the way in which economists investigate them. Economists have a way of looking at the world that differs from the way scholars in other disciplines look at the world. It is the economic way of thinking; this chapter introduces that way of thinking.

To rachelle your way out of something means to back out of something you've promised you'd be a part of for weeks at the last possible minute.

[Solved] :last-child, :nth-child
Hi folks, at full browser width the last-child selector works and removes the right border from the last li element. At 640px width the navigation gets arranged on 2 lines. What I'd like to accomplish is to remove border from third li of first line also. I am trying with different variations of nth-child to no avail. Thanx. BTW. This the first time I am getting acquainted with those type of element properties.
Here's . . reduced case of it
should do it for just the 3rd element, or:nth-child(3n)
will work for every 3rd element@ChrisP, thanx, darn it, I knew that should be able to do that and I did tried that one and it didn't work for me. The reason was I had a space between child and (3)

Partnership Opportunities
The American Library Association collaborates with many organizations to help America's libraries enhance library services and programs. These partnerships, grants, and contributions are important sources of support for ALA. As you might expect, ALA receives many requests from a variety of organizations. Because our resources are finite, we restrict our programs to those that most closely match our current strategic priorities. We seek collaboration with organizations that offer a program of significant benefit to ALA and libraries.
To help us match your ideas to our programmatic activities, please complete the Request for Collaboration form (opens in new window). Once you have submitted the form, a small administrative team shares your program proposal with the appropriate unit or units. This is the first step to planning a meeting to discuss ways to work together.
If, after you have reviewed the form, you determine that a sponsored partnership is not the right vehicle, please consider one of the other Marketing & Advertising Opportunities.

New Secure License Process Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is DMV using a new process to issue driver's licenses?
A: The new process enhances security and reduces the risks of fraud. Because DMV isn't issuing driver's licenses over the counter, it eliminates the appeal for those attempting to illegally obtain a license, since they are no longer issued on the spot. The new process also decreases the use of false addresses since credentials are distributed through the mail.
Q: Why is DMV producing and distributing licenses from a central location rather than at each DMV customer service center (CSC)?
A: The secure card production facility has sophisticated printing capabilities that produce tamper-resistant cards with a host of security features. State-of-the-art equipment in a centralized production environment can produce cards with greater security features than equipment utilized in 74 DMV customer service centers across Virginia.
Q: Does the new process cost more?
A: No. The cost of a driver's license, $4 per year, remains the same. The cost of an ID card also remains the same at $10.
Q: Do I still visit a DMV customer service center to apply for a driver's license?
A: Yes. Applications for driver's licenses and ID cards are still processed at all DMV offices across Virginia, but the cards are produced inside a secure card production facility and then mailed to customers. The main differences in the process of applying for a driver's license or ID card are:
- Customer photographs are taken at the beginning instead of at the end of the transaction
- Customers receive either a temporary driving permit or an ID card receipt at the end of the transaction instead of their new license or ID card
Q: My driver's license or ID card is good for a few more years. Do I need to do anything now?
A: No. You may wait and renew as early as six months prior to the expiration date. Virginia driver's licenses normally expire on a customer's birthday.
Q: What should I use for identification before I get my driver's license or ID card in the mail?
A: As part of the new process, DMV returns your license or ID card to carry with a temporary driving permit or ID card receipt until you receive your new credential in the mail.
Q: What is a temporary driving permit?
A: A temporary driving permit is issued to driver's license applicants and allows them the privilege to drive until the new license is received in the mail.
Q: Can I use my temporary driving permit or receipt as identification?
A: No. A temporary driving permit or ID card receipt is not a form of identification because it does not contain any identifying information, such as a photograph. The temporary driving permit simply allows a customer the privilege to drive. Until your new license or ID card is received in the mail, it is important that you keep any existing license or ID, or make sure you have another form of identification such as a passport or a birth certificate.
Q: My temporary driving permit or ID card receipt was lost or destroyed. Can I get another one?
A: You should call or visit DMV for a replacement..
Q: What happens if I don't receive my new driver's license or identification card in the mail?
A: Customers should allow at least two weeks to receive their new cards in the mail. Your temporary driving permit is valid for 30 days. If after two weeks you have not received your new driver's license or ID card, notify DMV at (804) 497-7100. DMV will access your record to determine when the license was mailed and if it was returned to DMV as undeliverable. Make sure DMV has your current mailing address on file.
Q: Is the postal service a proven method of delivering a customer's driver's license or ID card?
A: Virginians receive licenses and ID cards through the mail every day. Customers who currently use DMV's preferred services (DMV website, automated telephone and the mail) to renew their licenses receive them through the postal service. The return rate for those licenses is minimal.
Q: How does DMV protect my driver's license or ID card while it is being sent to me through the postal service?
A: Your driver's license or ID card is mailed in an envelope (inside a card carrier) with the Virginia DMV's return address printed on the envelope. Similar to receiving a credit or debit card through the mail, there is no indication on the envelope that a driver's license or ID card is inside. If the correct customer's mailing address is not on file with DMV, the driver's license or ID card is returned to DMV. If you do not receive your driver's license or ID card in two weeks, you can contact DMV at (804) 497-7100.
Q: How will I receive my license if I've recently moved to a new address?
A: Customers must ensure their current mailing address is on file with DMV. Distribution envelopes containing driver's licenses and ID cards will be marked "Return Service Requested," which will prevent forwarding. When cards are returned to DMV, the previously issued license or ID card is invalidated and a note concerning an inaccurate address is placed on the customer's record. When customers re-apply, DMV will work with the customer to make sure their current address is on file.
Q: Can I get a replacement if I lose my new license or ID?
A: Yes. You may reapply by visiting www.dmvNOW.com, calling DMV's automated telephone service at 1-888-337-4782 or visiting a DMV customer service center.
Q: If I lose my driver's license, will DMV make an exception to the established mailing process? For example, what do I do if I lose my license and I need it to board an airplane?
A: According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, other documents that may be presented to board an airplane include a passport, a U.S. military ID and airline-issued ID.
Most importantly, customers are urged to safeguard their driver's license or ID card, since it is an important and widely-used credential. For security purposes, in no instance will DMV issue driver's licenses on the spot. Once produced, your credential is mailed to you within three days. We ask customers to allow two weeks for their license or ID card to arrive since U.S. Postal Service delivery times vary.
Q: Why is my photograph black and white instead of color?
A: For added security and fraud prevention, grayscale photographs are laser engraved inside the driver's license or ID card, making it virtually tamper-proof. Normally, color photographs are placed on the surface of the card and require some type of laminate or epoxy to cover them. Also, in grayscale photos, hair, eye and skin color do not distract the viewer from more permanent facial features, which could make it easier to match a photograph with the correct individual.
Q: How can I contact Virginia DMV?
A: Log on to our website at www.dmvNOW.com and click on "contact us" at the top right-hand side of the screen; call DMV's automated telephone service at 1-888-337-4782 or contact the DMV call center at (804) 497-7100.

I don't ask for sugar coating Gunnslinger and if you had not unfriended me on FB you would have seen who i am but as far as being seen in person it's kinda hard when you live in Fl and don't travel and none of the races come to Fl. I'm a fan of the sports (Deseert, Short Course) you did talk to me on FB a couple of times and asked me what company I was selling and I told you a trucking company. It's kinda hard to know someone or see someone if you aren't on their FB and like I said I don't get to travel. Well I'm sorry you feel that I'm a mythical person but that's your feelings and I respect that. As far as re-directed information don't everyone in the racing industry do that at some point so me posting the winners of the races (Desert, Short Course) is re-directing info interesting. Oh wait or do you mean when I write come watch a Live Stream for TORC or Live On Dirt? or when I tell everyone to set their DVR's on Sunday for Lucas races because I don't really write much else about races. I did there for a while help Ryan Beat, Jessie Johnson find sponsors for this season and I sent DM's to companies following me. I don't hear to many people complaining about me posting Mint 400 or Baja stuff. and as far as people blocking me the only ones I know of is Loorrs and BJ Baldwin the only reason BJ blocked me was because I said it was nice of RG to let him win a race. Me talking about the sport has brought some Nascar friends over to the dirt world but I can stop re-directing info if that's what everyone wants. By the way I'm 5'1" brown hair blue eyes and a female and I am real.
Wonder if Rob Mac or Curt LeDuc made any kind of impact (on BOTH sides) after speaking out at the LOORRS drivers meeting??
Like I said in my original post.. To me, this isn't about LOORRS vs. TORC, it's about shortcourse off road racing and the potential of this race and the future of our sport.
... Mad Media bought the legendary Mint 400 almost a year ago and was able to take it leaps and bounds beyond what it was in the previous year while trying to bring it back to where it was in the heydays.
Imagine what Mad Media could do with a shortcourse race... ???? Maybe the solution is sitting right in front of us and we just don't know it.... Or is there a solution??
^^^^^^^^^Adam who signs your checks...?...lol I kid I kid.
That feels so good thats how your dad does it!!!" As said by the great Firecracker
Something To Consider: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
What about what they did with supercross (lites)? An East and West Series.... top trucks from each pro bracket run a few "Championship" races.
You also forgot another big sponsor bring TP over, Mopar! It's huge reason why Bryce got the Xgames ride (I'm not taking away from his talent at all!
It would be nice if they all could come up with a game play to get the sport to grow regardless if it's one series or more. Some drivers will go to both series depending on location, I see no issue with bringing more teams period. It's win-win for everyone.
Lucas does seem to have a bigger turn out per race on average, offer more classes at most events, but they are located around the areas where short course has mainly been!
TORC has tried to branch out and take risk it seems, and the race back west might help test the market for them. If they could somehow start getting more permanent type tracks setup, I think they could grow a lot more.
Overall I think both series could learn from the other, neither is perfect and all they will end up doing is ruining the sport itself overtime.
Well thank you Captain Obvious. I'm sure people know that here.Shortcourse UNIFICATION??...is it here?? NO. Wow that was easy

Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus - My Sabbatical in Israel

Sixers add to training-camp roster
The 76ers unveiled the start date and location of their training camp Thursday. They also added four names to their preseason roster.
The team signed free agents Dan Gadzuric, Devin Searcy, Xavier Silas and Damien Wilkins to bring their training-camp roster to 17.
Camp, by the way, opens Tuesday at Saint Joseph's University's Hagan Arena and runs through Saturday, Oct. 6. The Sixers begin their slate of seven preseason games Oct. 11 at Orlando.
Gadzuric, a 6-11 forward who has played parts of 10 NBA seasons, was with the Knicks for two games last season. Searcy, an undrafted 6-10 forward who played in Japan last year, got time in five Orlando Summer League games for the Sixers.
Silas, a 6-5 guard, was a 2011 training-camp invitee who spent the bulk of his year with the Sixers' D-League affiliate in Maine before signing with the team in April for their playoff run. Wilkins, a 6-6 guard who's been in the league for eight seasons, played in 60 games last season with the Pistons.

SharePoint Document & Item Reordering 1.3.1221.4
SharePoint Document & Item Reordering is a new and powerful tool to customize lists and libraries according to the users' preferences. Imagine users need to access an item every day, or to prioritize lists according to specific requirements that cannot be met by SharePoint default sorting patters.

SharePoint out-of-the-box functionality does not support fully customizable rank rearrangement for list items. SharePoint users are allowed to reorder items or folders manually for link lists only, which has made the default tool even further less applicable for most users.

Well that answers Ackroman's point. He may wish to come back.
"What if" threads are OK if you are prepared to allow contributors to speculate within the bounds of firstly possibility and then probability.
However you've already hijacked your own thread by dismissing all possibilities other than one so what's the point?
Your limited thinking that a void left by SKY would never be/ will never be filled by anything or anyone else thus leading to an inevitable reduction of RL to a two bit northern diversion similar to morris dancing is laughable. I have no desire to contribute further on this.
I also note you've clearly made your mind up on the answer and derailed the thread further by limiting the question to "what would RL look like as a part time sport" already.

NEWS: Clarins fury at Asda price cuts
19 Dec 1996 | by JANE BAINBRIDGE AND JULIAN LEE
Cosmetics company Clarins is threatening legal action against Asda for selling products from its skin-care range at knockdown prices in the run-up to Christmas.
Click to remove filters
Sainsbury s has removed responsibility for customer services from its retail operation and handed it to Kevin McCarten s marketing department, in the clearest signal yet that this will continue to be the key battleground for customers in 1997.
Cosmetics company Clarins is threatening legal action against Asda for selling products from its skin-care range at knockdown prices in the run-up to Christmas.
Safeway is further breaking down the increasingly blurred barriers on the high street with news that it is setting up a dedicated travel booking service.
The British Brands Group (BBG) is to undertake independent research to prove that shoppers are confused by lookalike products, in the light of the latest row over spirits brands between Asda and International Distillers and Vintners (IDV).
London Underground has banned a poster using Tube station logos which was thought to be too confusing for the public. The poster, through Court Burkitt Trainspotting , it features large logos for Whiteleys nearest Tube stations, Bayswater and Queensway.
If you are planning a do-or-die mission to the shops on Christmas Eve, you should bear in mind that 22% of consumers have had the whole nasty business over and done with since October 8.
When Roger Partington of Safeway was quoted in the news pages of Marketing last week, little did he know he d turn up in the first paragraph of my column today. It must be the equivalent of being in Knightsbridge, only to arrive later at Turnham Green.
Peter Clements Business development director European Business News
Have you ever felt ashamed at being attracted to some gruesome sight despite yourself? Road accidents, for example, always draw horrified yet fascinated onlookers. I know this from personal experience: at 18 I was run over and nearly died.

President Andrew Johnson Plaque
Location: Toreagh Primary School, Raloo
The grandparents of US President Andrew Johnson are reputed to have lived at a site near the modern Toreagh Primary School at Raloo prior to emigrating to the United States in search of better fortune. Johnson, the son of Jacob and Mary Johnston, was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, and was a champion of the common people when he entered politics.
He was to succeed the assassinated Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States following the American War, a position which he held between 1865-1869. This Ulster-Scot was among a number who occupied the highest political office in the land, and in addition to his natural sympathies with the "common man", displayed during his Governorship of Tennessee and Presidency, he was also a Freemason, belonging at one stage to the same Masonic Lodge as had President Andrew Jackson, whose family had connections with Bonnybefore, Carrickfergus, and Bellahill, Ballycarry.

Actually a parody of Angry Joe's rant about the 2009 VGA show:
Actually a parody of Angry Joe's rant about the 2009 VGA show:
In the mid 90s Nickelodeon had a run of great/silly shows. Among them were Welcome Freshman, Hey Dude and Clarissa Explains It All. But one show stood out amongst them all, The Adventures of Pete And Pete. I'm surprised that Pete & Pete doesn't get aired in reruns anywhere today. There's a lot of shows which I've forgotten even existed or that I was a fan of and forced my parents to buy a ton of pointless toys for. But Pete & Pete has a special place in my memories. Which might be sort of sad, considering I was 12-15ish at the time. It always amazes me when I run into people who never even heard of this incredible show. The lack of reruns means that in time it'll unfortunately be forgotten.
In case you've never heard of the show, it stars Older Pete and Younger Pete two brothers growing up in Wellsville a town whose true location is never given. The rest of the family include their Mom (and her Metal Plate) and Dad. Oh and I don't want to forget Petunia, younger Pete's tattoo. Although some episodes come off as Pete or Pete Vs his parents, in the end you know that they all love each other. Meanwhile the dad can be quiet a doofus, it's never to the level that the Simpsons or Family Guy go with Homer and Peter. Although not your regular family, they are as happy as any Nuclear Age family.
There are neighborhood friends of the Petes. Ellen is Older Pete's friend and a girl, but not his girlfriend. Artie, The Strongest Man In The World,who is Younger Pete's own personal superhero. Ellen comes across as an average girl and a close friend. Although there is some drama between them, it is always more as drama between friends. It's no different then drama between any of his friends or even between him and Younger Pete. Even more incredible is that Ellen's dad, Phil Hickle, is played by Steve Buscemi. Artie, The Strongest Man In The World, is beyond description for the most part. From the way he walks, to his name for Young Pete (My Little Viking) and some of his powers (moving a house one inch) he is beyond definition if you have never seen an episode. Even his outfit (a 40/60 Titanium and Poly Blend) which gives him his powers is something you have to see yourself:
In case you couldn't tell from the Superhero, Pete's Tattoo, Mom's Plate, both brothers being named Pete, the show tended to be a tad surreal. Some of the best episodes that I can remember:
Micheal Stripe makes an appearance in Summer Vacation. Iggy Pop is a recurring guest as the father of one of Younger Pete's friends. Now that I'm a bit older and actually know who a lot of these people are. Most of them were 70s and 80s non-mainstream musicians (as if Iggy Pop being in the show didn't give it away).
The incredible thing about Pete & Pete though was that it never sugar coated anything. There were ups and downs during the show, you were never sure that there would be a happy ending. You learned stuff not because you were being spoon fed, but as part of your own conclusions. The show never talked down to you, and even as an adult I can still enjoy the show today. But it didn't exist just to give moral lessons, or to try and sell you merchandise. It felt as though you were being told a story that you could be a part of. Even with the surrealness and the oddities, Pete and Pete were like two friends from just around the corner and down the block.
Maybe it's nostalgia, but TV shows can learn a lot from Pete & Pete. There's more to being a TV show then cramming some morale lesson down your fans throat while being little more then a 22 minute commercial. Without Pete & Pete, I'd probably be a markedly different person then who I am today. There were a lot of lessons that I didn't even realize growing up, which appear only if you really pay attention. It's sad that this show is just sitting in mothballs somewhere. You would think with all the TV Channels that Viacom owns (about half of them) they could find somewhere to squeeze in Pete & Pete. Today's youth is missing out and instead are being used like consumers at the trow. And if you ever watch a TV show that tried to teach a lesson, it's so unbelievably heavy handed that it insults people who are watching.

Libraries Grapple With The Downside Of E-Books
By editor
Originally published on Tue May 29, 2012 3:51 am
Digital books are the fastest growing area of publishing. Libraries are seeing a surge in demand for e-book titles as well, but there's a downside. Most major publishers won't allow libraries to lend their titles, while others impose restrictions or charge double or triple the print price.

For Red, I'd take inspiration from the (current) Izzet League, considering the character is a Sorcerer. Overload might a good starting place. Spend hit points to deal extra damage. Lose many hit points to use the same power against a second target. Or, because Red likes destroying Artifacts and Lands, give a power that can remove/dispel persistent zones/effects (in 4e parlance, cancel the effect of a power with "Sustain (Action)" and/or ongoing damage).
Counterspell is iconic for Blue. A power could grant a saving throw, maybe at bonus, to oneself or an ally within X squares. Always useful, at all levels, and it makes the Battlemind at tad more resilient.
Not too sure for Green. Giant Growth seems obvious, but might be OP depending on how you make the power. Maybe grow one size, increase reach by one, get extra damage and damage resistance for a round, or any combination thereof. If the other powers are Encounter Powers, make it a Daily.
Lifelink makes a whole lot of sense for the Vampire. Nothing to add here. Well, maybe something like Deathtouch; look at the Executioner's Death Attack ability for an idea as to how it might work.
White looks good too. I might suggest, instead of healing, maybe granting +1/2/3 to attack rolls to all allies who can see you for a round, like how White will buff up allies. And if I'm not mistaken, buffing up is something the Runepriest does well, too.
Except for Green, these make for good Encounter Powers, even if they might be pretty strong at first. In fact, now that I look at them, these suggestions can have their power scale with level, so you can start with smaller bonuses and work up from there.
Meh, it's up to you, really. It's just I have a hard time imagining something that is iconic of Green and isn't about making somebody a huge beast, hence my thought making it Daily.
Come to think of it, if you're unsure, I don't think it would hurt if you asked your players' opinion on the matter, especially if they're M:tG fans as well. And, if you get your players together to homebrew these powers, your players might not end up with one of them having a power that's overpowered compared to another, because they'll have workshopped them together. There's also a possible added benefit of them getting more attached and excited about their power, because they took part in its creation.
You already have a good starting point, with some cool suggestions from here. If you ask me, go all the way and ask your players. Again, these are mere suggestions, so use your judgement to see if it works out for you and your group.
I have to say, your thread stirred up a storm of ideas for a potential campaign I'd like to run. I still don't get why they won't make a M:tG crossover or setting, though, even if it's only a one-shot.

Also, I recomend making them "free action" activations, and not immediate actions. Otherwise they might not be able to use them if they have other immediate action abilities that are favorable.
Additionally, you can't use immediate actions during your turn. From the ideas being tossed around, I agree that these sound like free or minor actions.I don't know much about MtG, but if Growth can apply to plants, you can just make it an area burst of vines or something that either make a zone of difficult terrain or slow. That would be fine as an encounter power and fits the controller role well. You can pretty much just cut'n'paste Nature's Growth from the Protector druid in Heroes of the Feywild (assuming your druid isn't already a Protector).

Me and my players have been thinking much the same thing. We decided that we'd give it a shot after our last campaign finished off. They'll be headed to Innistrad soon. A world with a fun theme like that seemed a natural place to start.

Hutchison Pushes for Honoring WASP
By: Downing Bolls
Updated: March 18, 2009
They trained at Avenger Feld in Sweetwater and went onto fly non-combat missions, freeing up their male counterparts to serve in the war. That service set the stage for changes women in the military enjoy today.
"Today, women fly every type of aircraft from combat fighters to the space shuttle," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. "However, despite their cultural impact, the WASPs have never been formally recognized by Congress for their wartime military service, until now."
Senators want to present the WASPs with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is the nation's highest civilian honor.
Of the original 1,102 wasps, only about 300 are still living.

John Astin, Emmaline Henry and Marty Ingels in the 1960s sitcom "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster." (Lightyear Entertainment) |
I am going to use the excuse that it's Christmas next week and you may have some shopping left to do to review three DVD sets I have been meaning to write about for months. (Something came up.) All are comedies. Two are complete sets and one is the first installment in what will eventually be a complete set, if you buy enough of volume one to economically justify a volume two. Artistically, there is no question of justification: All are brilliant and a little strange: Two -- "The Sarah Silverman Program" and Chris Elliott's "Get a Life" -- play with sitcom conventions; the other is plain unconventional.
That is "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster," which ran for a single season in 1962-63 on ABC. The first 16 of its 32 episodes -- they grew their seasons long in those days -- appeared for the first time on DVD this April as "'I'm Dickens, He's Fenster' 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition: Volume 1" (Lightyear Entertainment). It was created by the great Leonard Stern, who had already written for "The Honeymooners" and "Sergeant Bilko" and would produce, write and direct "Get Smart" and create the Richard Benjamin-Paula Prentiss sitcom "He & She," which I would very much like to see again, and "McMillan & Wife," which I have been admiring with fresh eyes online. (I will get around to writing about that show soon, Rock Hudson/Susan Saint James/Nancy Walker/John Schuck fans.) He also co-created Mad Libs, the party game.
HERO COMPLEX: Holiday gift guide 2012
Starring sad-eyed John Astin (soon to play Gomez on "The Addams Family") and raspy-voiced Marty Ingels as carpenters Harry Dickens and Arch Fenster, it is a sort of proto-bromance, with its overriding theme the platonic and almost pathological love between two men -- a love they declare outright, with a sincerity that feels jarring in our supposedly freer but compulsively ironic time.
The arrival of a stray dog or a new neighbor is all it takes to send one or the other into a fit of jealousy; it is the anniversary of their friendship Harry remembers to celebrate, not that of his marriage, to blond-and-brassy-in-a-classy-way Emmaline Henry (later Mrs. Bellows on "I Dream of Jeannie"), who is remarkably patient -- Harry has an unsettling, almost Freudian tendency, to flirty with the glamour girls Arch dates, while Arch climbs in through her bedroom window in order to save them answering the door -- but never a doormat. There are at least two episodes in which Harry and Arch share a bedroom.
It is also a show about the working class, who get little respect on television nowadays. And it's distinguished from most situation comedies of any era, and certainly of the shot-live, multi-camera sort, by the amount of slapstick it contains -- "I Love Lucy" being the obvious exception. (Astin is particularly adept at pratfalls; he has a real way with walking into a closed door.) And it has a sense of the satire: In one Swiftean episode, disagreement over whether a joke is funny or not escalates into armed warfare.
There is a childlike quality to Arch and Harry that describes as well, to different effects, the heroes of "Get a Life" and "The Sarah Silverman Program." ("She's technically an adult," one character says of Silverman.) Each series is set in a twisted and sometimes supernatural version of the world that old-fashioned sitcoms suggest, features a central character sent to test your patience, and is more than usually Not for Everyone.
The three seasons of "The Sarah Silverman Program," which ran from 2007 to 2010 on Comedy Central (with a year off in 2009), have been gathered together in a single box by Shout Factory, with some new extra features. They hold up well, across time and repeated viewings. A word like "irreverent" describes the series accurately enough, and yet somehow does not do it justice; and "transgressive" is frankly no fun. Irony is the main weapon in its comic-rhetorical arsenal -- the whole show pulses with a bright storybook whimsicality often at odds with its subject matter, which includes abortion, gender issues, marriage equality, pedophilia, homelessness, AIDS and the Holocaust -- but also farts and feces.
"Sarah Silverman" feels big: Its crowd scenes are well-populated; there are musical numbers, animations, puppets, an action-film parody. The images are fresh and bright, with a small-townish setting and helpful characters out of an elementary-school primer: Sarah's sister Laura (played by Silverman's sister Laura, the voice of the receptionist on "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist"), who pays her rent, is a nurse; Laura's boyfriend, Jay, Johnston, is a policeman. (His partners were played in turn by the comics Paul F. Tompkins and Tig Notaro).
Best of 2012: Video Games | Art | Theater | Awesome
The Sarah of the series (who is not a comedian, and indeed labors at nothing at all) has no ambition other than to be loved unconditionally by everyone, which she regards as a kind of favor to the universe. She creates drama where there is none -- it only takes losing her keys for Sarah to see herself not only as homeless, but heroically brave -- and when things are set right around her, she takes the wrong lesson from it.
Though Sarah believes herself to be an extremely good person, she is capable of "firing" and replacing her best friends -- she brings in a grief counselor to help them cope -- and is offended when a wheelchair race, which she calls "cheating," blocks her way to the store where she's headed to buy batteries so she can change the channel on her television away from a charity appeal on behalf of starving children. She sleeps with God and dumps him when he becomes too needy -- then gets back together with him when she wants a date to show off at her high school reunion.
There is a second, contrasting and, all things considered, kind of sincere strain in the show, however, regarding its couples -- Laura and Jay, and Sarah's "gigantic, orange and gay" slacker neighbors Brian and Steve (Brian Posehn and Steve Agee) -- and what people do for those they love. Like when Jay starts having "laughmares," Laura stages a talk-show in their bedroom to give his unconscious hilarity context, or when Steve finally expresses his support of Brian in his campaign to pay back a bird for defecating on his head. Clever readers may imagine the form this revenge takes.
This exchange expresses the show's method pretty well:
Jay: My partner got suspended because this Hispanic kid pulls a gun on him, Paul opens fire. Turns out it's a pellet gun. It looked really real, though.
Laura: There should be a law that those things have to come in bright colors.
Sarah: Laura, they're human beings!
Chris Elliott's "Get a Life," which lasted two seasons on Fox, from 1990-92, was also issued whole this year, as "Get a Life: The Complete Series -- Un-special non-anniversary edition" (Shout Factory). There is something particularly unsettling and unlikely about this series, which features Elliott, known from appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman," as a 30-year-old paperboy, living with his parents, played by Elliott's own father, the Bob of Bob & Ray, and Elinor Donahue, the elder daughter on "Father Knows Best." They are usually seen in their bathrobes, in their breakfast nook, and they dote not on their son but his hoped-for absence; his father, especially is not particular as to how. (He does move out in the second season, into the garage of not particularly scrupulous ex-cop Brian Doyle-Murray.)
Best of 2012: Movies | TV | Pop music | Jazz
Like Silverman's character, Chris' Chris Peterson is an idiot and an optimist, with great reserves of self-regard, though with some sense of duty to others. And his life is not quite as charmed as Sarah's; he is often physically attacked in the series, and dies more than once. Perhaps it's because he is not as pretty as she, although he is willing to believe he is. In the Handsome Boy Modeling School episode, he becomes a male model -- professional name: Sparkles.
All sorts of things happen to Chris: A near-death experience makes him psychic; an Indian curse causes him to switch places with his best friend (Sam Robards) whose wife is his series-long enemy; he goes head to head with a robot paperboy; he becomes a food inspector and is intoxicated by $5 bribes; he becomes an escort; he has his tonsils out. His reactions are usually overwrought, his expressions often florid and creepily formal.
It's not quite the "cringeworthy" comedy of a Ricky Gervais or a Larry David, but something more akin to the outrageous gestures of an Andy Kaufman. (It's not surprising to learn that Charlie Kaufman, who wrote "Being John Malkovich" and "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind," wrote for the series, as did Bob Odenkirk.) There is something not quite formed about Elliott himself, who is big and soft-edged, in an almost larval way. His character here reminds me at times of one of those Charles Ray sculptures where naked children and adults are all the same size. One feature of the DVD set is that you can play certain episodes without a laugh track: With the track in, "Get a Life" plays more like a parody of situation comedy; with the track out, its oddness floats like cream to the surface, and you see it for the singular thing it is.

Pretty much what Shaun said, Sennheisers for regular use and Turtle Beach for gaming~ Best combo and not ridiculously expensive. :')
Everyone here has Beats, they're more of a fashion statement than anything. :c I don't even think they sound that good, but maybe it's just me~

RIA Wealth Management Network principals, Mark Moehlman and Laine Ainsworth, will join BPWA as managing directors and equity partners.
This marks the third deal in the last year and a half for BPWA, a national advisory �enterprise building partnership.�
Along with its $5.5 billion registered investment advisory parent firm Beacon Pointe, BPWA leverages economies of scale to give joining firms access to brand synergy, leverage of the brand for marketing, compliance and reporting, and scale. While BPWA also provides strategies to maximize enterprise value and a built-in succession plan for new partners, joining advisors maintain ownership and control over their firm�s destiny.
Beacon Pointe is being built to help maximize value and provide succession plan certainty for joining partners, according to a press release. This is an approach the firm says gives advisors a 7-10 year timetable to �position for an optimal valuation, succession scenario or both.�
For Moehlman and Ainsworth, the decision to join BPWA was not one they made lightly, or quickly. It took three years, reviewing numerous candidates and finally bringing in M&A advisory firm, Advice Dynamics Partners, to determine the best fit.
�And out of twenty options carefully, one might say painstakingly,�reviewed, we chose Beacon Pointe because it offered us growth, operational support, liquidity and last but perhaps most importantly, a built-in succession plan,� said Moehlman and Ainsworth in a statement.
Matt Cooper, president of Beacon Pointe said that for many advisors considering their options, they may decide that aggregator or �roll-up� firms are a �mirage.�
�It�s about business continuity after the advisor retires, or about accelerating organic growth, or finding a partner to help identify qualified candidates to join you � or all of the above,� he said.
�We�re not building to sell, we�re building to be the best financial advisory firm with the best partner firms, in the country.��
