Review by
Msd98 from Waukesha, Wi
Best deal I could find on name brand, quality speakers. They sounds great. Took some jerry-rigging to get into the Camry I put them in (Toyota has odd mounts).

|Better then Factory speakers
Review by
Wilcox1976 from Taylors, SC
I bought a set of these for my Honda Odyssey Van to replace a set of speakers. I was surprised by the somewhat small magnets when I took them out of the box. (I'm old school and we always used to talk about 20oz magnets) I was looking on-line for the weight of the magnets now I know why they hide those specs. They installed pretty straightforward in the 6X9 cutouts for the old speakers. The grills look great and protect the speakers well. The Sony XM120 amp I was driving them with had developed fault in the protection circuit so it took me another two hours to find the internal fault in the amp and reinstall in in the van. I listened to a couple different type of music and felt the audio quality was okay but nothing to write home about. I need set of 6x9s for another car and will probably look to a different brand or a better model within R.F.

title: List (no. 15)
creator: Ramsey Beyer
date: 2012
pages: 66
web: everydaypants.com
I remember when I first heard of this title when it was mentioned to me in passing by a stranger. A few months later, by unrelated and unexpected chance, I received some old, unwanted zines that turned out to be past issues of this same title. Funny and ridiculous how coincidences can come to happen.
List is normally a reflective recap of Ramsey's year: lists of important events and of stepping stones experienced and learned. But it's also everyday moments in the form of comics and itemized revelations about her disposition and persona (insecurities, who and how she aspires to be). It's all very personal, meaningful, and candid material. And it's knowing the weight behind these elements that, by the time you reach the last few pages, make you feel like she's someone you intimately know and by whose side you've been through the rough patches of her year.
For longtime readers, number 15 is a big mile marker in Ramsey's ongoing life through adulthood as it's the first zine since her big move to Philadelphia from Chicago. For the first time, she set off to an uncertain milieu without school or relationship or any other motivator save herself, and therefore into untested waters in several ways (echoed in the issue's front and inside back cover illustrations).
The biggest change I noticed in issue 15 is how she has switched from the typewriter to using a self-made typeface modeled from her own handwriting, which allows it that congenial handwritten look while lending it the uniformity and consistency of a font. Neat and tidy without the sloppy look handwritten zines can sometimes have.
One of the qualities that makes her style so appealing to readers is the earnest honesty with which she documents herself. Within these lists and annotations, there is a palpable and honest effort to realistically assess herself and her situations. She wants to be objective and genuine not only for the sake of her readers but also to affirm, motivate, and improve herself. Something so personal and frank at the core that it surreptitiously translates as endearing and admirable.

We no longer link to this site.
The name pretty much says it all. Over on Bang That MILF there are MILFs and they get banged. Simple and straightforward. So, what about these MILFs and that banging?
Well, the MILFs are of the pornstar variety. You will find babes such as Nikki Hunter and Morgan Ray getting fucked here. And that sex is hot and hardcore. I saw a little anal, but for the most part these scenes are filled with blowjobs and pussy fucking and in the case of two of the MILFs, a creampie ending.
The design is good and navigation is as easy as clicking into the "updates" section and checking out the pages of scenes. Although, given that there are only 20 scenes available, there aren't many pages to go through. The same is true for the photo section, which has 20 picture sets.
The pictures are of an average size and each set comes with about 150 photos. As for the videos, each movie comes with a streaming version that plays on the site in an embedded Flash player and they also all come with an MP4 download option that is good in quality.
The scenes vary in how they play out. The first few I checked out had a scripted scenario (banging the gardener, etc), but then I also caught a few movies doing the play-to-the-camera-then-fuck-some-dude thing.
I would tell you what I thought the future scenes would be like, but I don't think there are going to be any more. I base that on the fact that the last scene was added in December 2010.
Your membership comes with access to Kelly Devine and Sadie Swede XXX and while those two hotties obviously add some value to a membership, the bonus sites still might not be enough.
I love MILFs and I love banging MILFs. And if someone presented me with 20 hot moms to bang I would be very satisfied. However, to watch only 20 of them fucking isn't enough for me and I doubt it is enough for you either.

Profile: Tony Arnold
Thinking – and Stepping – Outside the Box
Tony Arnold does not like boxes. More to the point, he thinks that people and ideas are complex, dynamic, and multi-faceted, transcending traditionally narrow classifications. With a mission to develop knowledge that transcends traditional disciplines and solutions to public policy problems that defy narrow framing, Arnold has transformed the University of Louisville's dormant Center for Environmental Law into an interdisciplinary Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility that supports academic research, applied research, programs, and public service at the intersection of land use and the human and natural environments.
As the Boehl Chair in Property and Land Use and a professor in both the Law School and the School of Urban and Public Affairs, Arnold is an ideal leader for initiatives that cross the boundaries between disciplines and between the academic and the non-academic worlds. He himself does not easily fit traditional categories or stereotypes.
For example, Arnold typically wears cowboy boots and drives a pick-up truck. He served as the city attorney of the town of Hondo, Texas, and worked on rural poverty issues in Kansas, where he grew up. Yet, he has taught urban planning and urban law for many years, worked as a land use intern for the Boston Redevelopment Authority, served as a planning commissioner in Southern California, and regularly rides the bus. Arnold's teaching stints have included Stanford University, the University of Puerto Rico, and the University of Wyoming. He is an extrovert who enjoys conversing with others, but also enjoys the quiet of hiking, gardening, and reading. His strongest commitments are his faith, his family, environmental conservation values, concern for the poor and those in need, and mentoring of students. He does not see these as separate commitments but instead as part of an integrated whole.
In his academic work, just as in his personal life, Arnold does not fit neatly into expected boxes. Indeed, he views himself as "an integrator" or "a builder of bridges across boundaries and divisions." Arnold's work crosses three different kinds of boundaries: 1) aspects of the environment; 2) academic disciplines; 3) study and action.
First, Arnold is a nationally recognized expert on the relationships among – and integration of – laws and public policies concerning land use, water quality and use, environmental conservation, and private property. Moreover, he explores the relationships among human and natural environments and various social processes and institutions, such public participation and discretionary decision making about land uses. His peers have selected two of his articles as among the best published in land use and environmental law in the United States.
Second, Arnold's scholarship draws on insights and methodologies from many different disciplines. For example, his study of the famous Mono Lake conservation effort in California highlighted the role and limits of the law to achieve environmental conservation and identified several other necessary elements, including the ecology and psychology of special places, public education and engagement, political activity, and collaborative problem-solving processes. Likewise, Arnold has used interdisciplinary work to illuminate the complexities and nuances of the structure of the U.S. land use regulatory system and the relationships between watersheds and land use management.
Arnold argues that the great universities and scholars of the future will develop transdisciplinary knowledge and methods, not merely multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary scholarship: "The complexity and seriousness of our world's problems require that we develop new ideas, understandings, and research methods that truly integrate and transcend traditional disciplines."
Third, Arnold seeks to use his research for the betterment of society, transcending the divide between the "ivory tower" and the "real world." Many of his writings on property theory, water rights, environmental justice, and land use planning have been used by organizations like the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Association of City and County Health Officials, the American Planning Association, land and water policy groups in the U.S., Africa, and elsewhere in the world, industry and business groups, and many different city officials and community groups. His interdisciplinary Land Use and Planning Law course engages students in real-world land use planning and regulatory issues through service learning projects for government agencies and community groups and a simulation of a permit hearing based on an actual case study.
Moreover, Arnold is directly involved in public service. He has served on public commissions and task forces and in the leadership of nonprofit organizations with such diverse missions as microenterprise development, affordable housing, land conservation, and environmental justice. In his service, he builds bridges across often divided groups. For example, as an attorney with a large San Antonio, Texas law firm, Arnold represented government entities, nonprofit organizations, and businesses. As Chairman of the Anaheim Planning Commission, he earned the respect and appreciation of developers, community groups, and planners alike for his problem-solving approach that was both principled and pragmatic. In both roles, he helped groups in conflict to find common ground and practical, innovative solutions to their problems.
Arnold sees the Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility as a facilitator of many different research and policy initiatives in land use and environmental sustainability that are developing across the University of Louisville. He is particularly interested in improving our ideas and understanding of what the term "environmental responsibility" means and how our land use practices might be more environmentally responsible. As he seeks environmentally responsible land use practices, Arnold is thinking and stepping – in his cowboy boots – outside the box.
Above: Tony Arnold's diverse interests in both urban and rural communities reflect his tendency to think and act across traditional categories or boundaries.

Some dumbass at the Wodka Vodka company thought he could post a billboard reading, "Christmas Quality, Hanukkah Pricing" ... and everything would be cool. He was wrong.
The billboard -- posted in New York -- was taken down after the company received scores of phone calls and complaints from the Anti-Defamation League.
A rep for the ADL released a statement saying, "In a crude and offensive way of trying to make a point that their vodka is high quality and inexpensive, the billboards evoke a Jewish holiday to imply something that is cheap and of lesser value when compared to the higher value of a Christian holiday."
The rep added the billboard "reinforces anti-Semitic stereotypes."
According to the Washington Post, the guy in charge of the moronic campaign is Brian Gordon -- who says he is Jewish and didn't intend to offend anyone ... explaining the billboard was supposed to convey that Hanukkah is an "understated" holiday.
At the very least, this advertisement is insensitive. Even the pictures are insensitive. One dog is wearing a yamulka, which is a religious article of clothing. This denigrates Jewish practices. Meanwhile the other dog is wearing a Santa Claus cap, which is not a religious article of clothing although it is associated with Christmas taken as a national or non-religious celebration. Hence this does not denigrate Christian practices. All in all, the billboard is at least in poor taste.
it's totally anti-semitic when it was created by a jewish guy.... lol
Is it in poor taste? maybe...
is it anti-semitic? no
When I read it, I thought it was a reference to how Christmas gifts have become about how much you spend while Hanukkah gifts are more traditional.
So, basically it's saying "Jews are cheap" which is not anti-semitic, just a generalization. And maybe calling the creator a dumbass and moronic, is a bit over-reactive, hmm?
HILARIOUS! Should have said price negotiable!
Uhm, considering all the rich Jews around, what stereotype are they perpetuating here? I read it and thought "Christmas gifts are all in one day, Hanukkah is the same money spread over 8 days" so like, a day of Hanukkah is cheaper than Christmas.
Seriously thinking here. Are the traditional gifts for Hanukkah things like a dreidal? While Christmas is gold, frankincense and myrrh?
Would there be any offense of they'd said Menorah quality, lump of coal cost?
God, we are a nation of sissies.
Never take anti-Semitism lightly. Never dismiss jokes about the Jewish people as harmless fun. That is what happened in Europe before the World War II and it made the Holocaust possible.
I am not a Jew. I am not a Christian.
All this ad is saying, is that Christmas is a commercial rip-off, but Wodka are keeping the prices real, like Hannukah is probably the more sincere festival. I mean, how many people ACTUALLY go to church to worship the baby Jesus anymore? Er....
Talk about overreacting....
I think its funny how you guys try to steer the reader into the pool but calling him a dumbass and other things. Then the poll says to just get over it which majority votes. Obviously the person at TMZ who wrote this is Jewish or trying to kiss someones ass who is Jewish. Listen to you're readers - GET OVER IT tmz. BTW - This ISNT breaking newsdumbass.
It is in poor taste, but it is not "anti-semitic"... "Anti-semitic" is a word that is way over used, mostly by jews, who seem to any little slight such as this stupid billboard means the world is out to get them. I couldn't do the poll, because it is a loaded question, the poll should say "offensive" or " get over it".. I think TMZ needs to get over it, and stop fueling these ridiculous fires.......
Christmas quality? So it's the Chia pet of vodka? There might be someway to work this so it would be mildly amusing while being offensive to only the most sensitive. How about: Hyped for Christmas. Priced for Hanukkah. No? But wait ... I guess the idea is to try to sell the vodka.
I think it's funny.
I am Jewish....get over it as I can't see anything wrong with it at all.
The OVERREACTION to this billboard is what causes people to
hate jews. Think about it...
Everyone makes fun of everyone else's nationality in one way or another. When it's towards my nationality, I sincerely find it funny. I don't get offended easily, but I guess some people do. We have to take into account how the other person will feel about something like this. It's not easy to step into someone else's shoes, so sometimes things that are meant to be harmless "fun" turn into very offensive words and actions.

By Melissa Hoon
Soon after its first episode aired in 1989, Seinfeld became arguably the most popular sitcom of all-time and remains so today. The four main characters' quirks and imperfections made them relatable to the show's national audience, quickly catapulting the show to top spots on the Nielsen ratings. Even more notable was the show's revolutionary content that consisted of the characters completing daily tasks with a level of absurdity, providing entertainment and securing an even stronger tie that related to its audience. By broadcasting and thus popularizing mundane daily activities, Seinfeld reinforced, rejected and established cultural norms in society. By "establish," I mean: how did the show create a cultural trend or make an ideal or institution acceptable in society where it was once not accepted? And by "reinforce," I mean: how did Seinfeld take an already-established ideal and reiterate its notion in society by popularizing it on national television? I prove that Seinfeld reinforced, rejected and established cultural norms in society by showing how it related to viewers and challenged their intellectual sense, by evaluating how humor was used to negotiate social situations, and by providing analysis of specific examples of social norms that the show affirmed or created.
The methodology utilized to research and write this paper consists of the use of various books and articles that study Seinfeld sociologically, philosophically and culturally, in order to support my analysis of the show. Additionally, to gain statistics and perspective on the reception of Seinfeld, I use ratings andI interviewed fifteen people regarding their feelings and beliefs toward the show. Finally, I relied heavily on Jason Mittell's theory on traditional genre analysis by following his steps that include the following approaches: definitional (where I identified the core elements of Seinfeld and used texts to define its formal elements), cultural (where I look beyond definition to see how Seinfeld operated and still operates within a larger cultural system), interpretation (where I interpreted textual meanings of the show to situate it within its cultural context) and historical (I only slightly utilized this approach, where I considered how changing cultural circumstances, industrial motivations, and audience practices worked to cause shifts in the changing sitcom genre with Seinfeld).[1]
Seinfeld's Background: "A Show About Nothing"
"Jerry the American needs George around to remind him of his Jewishness, which, despite any difficulties it might present, is after all the secret engine of his professional success – the source of his humor."[2]
Seinfeld is an American sitcom that aired nine seasons from 1989 to 1998 on National Broadcasting Company (NBC). The show has been running in syndication on multiple channels since the original airdate of its last episode. The show's popularity is largely credited to its originality in a lack of story arc (with a few exceptions, like Jerry's and George's sitcom pilot they pitch in the Seinfeld's fourth season)and its content, referring to producers Jerry Seinfeld's and Larry David's claim that it is "a show about nothing." By "nothing," they"meant that the plot of each show would not really matter. More important were the small daily activities that make up peoples' days, the tiny frustrations, the mistakes and absurdities."[3]Seinfeld's "nothingness" was centered around the daily lives of four New Yorkers in their thirties, who lived on the Upper West Side. Jerry Seinfeld, a comedian who made a decent income, played himself and seemed to be the glue that held his group of friends together, which supports philosopher Jennifer McMahon's idea that friendship was a dominant premise of the show, as "neither Jerry, George, Kramer, nor Elaine could be neatly separated from the mix. They need each other to be who they are … Seinfeld serves to illustrate the fact that persona identity is established rationally."[4] Indeed, George Costanza, who was balding and was unemployed and lived with his parents for most of the series, foiled Jerry. Based on Larry David, George and David shared "angst-ridden, insecure, stringy, emotionally ungenerous, difficult, even explosive" personalities.[5]
Even less conventional than George was Cosmo Kramer, Jerry's neighbor across the apartment hall, who usually enjoyed some degree of success through odd jobs and schemes, such as the inventor of a coffee table book about coffee tables, a Calvin Klein model and a film actor alongside Woody Allen. Also unconventional – as a traditional American woman, but perhaps accurate as a 1990s middle-class woman – is Elaine Benes, who worked for a publishing company, representing the "single-American working woman." Elaine supported McMahon's theory of friendship as "an outwardly graceful but internally haggard New Yorker [who] enhances the suggestion of Jerry as the enlightened postfeminist American guy."[6]
Some see the characters of Seinfeld as being "lost in their own world,"[7] while leading "aimless lives [as] self-absorbed, superficial, immature, upper west side New Yorkers."[8] However, many viewers were fans of the show because they felt they could relate to it because of its content that dealt with intricacies or even mundane events in daily life. This is probably what led Seinfeld to be known as one of the most popular television shows of all-time, ranking in the top two spots on the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive seasons, and landing the number one spot twice. The show, which was typically comprised of a script that exceeded the average sitcom's 50-page script by 20 pages, was entertaining because it portrayed farces of everyday life with"its obsession with the rules of social behavior as its only constant theme."[9]
By filling their show with daily intricacies and difficulties, David and Seinfeld took a modernist approach with their show, meaning that they refuted previous models of the sitcom genre. The use of this approach is supported by Jane Feuer's theory on genre, wherein she argues that genre theory does not work well for television because television genres are always evolving (like we see with Seinfeld and the sitcom), and are either drawing from previous eras or become structured in response to a previous era.[10] I argue that the modern approach gave the producers more freedom to establish and create social norms, opposed to having to rely on repeatedly and solely reinforcing or rejecting previously existing norms. This is one of the ways Seinfeld became so popular – by revolutionizing their genre, David and Seinfeld gave themselves legitimacy as cultural producers (and their show as a cultural text) by creating a new model that many in the entertainment industry began to follow. In revolutionizing the sitcom genre with original content with characteristics specific to the show, Seinfeld's producers proved Feuer's theory to be correct, in that one of the functions of genres is that they produce uniqueness.[11]This new model is seen in television shows today like The Office, where the setting of the show is in a typical white-collar office setting and the characters carry out daily mundane office tasks, such as making sales phone calls and filing paperwork, but with a level of absurdity similar to what is seen on Seinfeld. With the freedom David and Seinfeld created for themselves as producers and writers, they established ideals around social etiquette and many catchphrases, which will be discussed in following sections.
Although Seinfeld was essentially about New York Jews, its liberal standing was never affirmed. This tactic of having its audience assume, guess or "get," established an allegiance in viewership, as audience members felt empowered, educated and intelligent for "getting" subtly implied jokes or connections. According to visual culture theorist Nicholas Mirzoeff, this "presumed humor works only because audiences are so accustomed to the elaborate charades of mainstream comedies that gave Seinfeld something to react against."[12] Furthermore, Seinfeld challenged viewers' intellectual sense, but not their visual sense, as the show's camerawork never looked up or down on the circle of friends, making viewers feel they were part of the group, and by using film instead of videotape to give the most realistic feel possible.[13] This is significant because it helped establish a relationship between the producer and the consumer so that the show was able to successfully relate to and influence its audience, which led to Seinfeld's reinforcement and establishment of social norms.
How Seinfeld Related to Its Audience
"As the digital boosters of the 1990s had it, television was our first experience of virtual reality. By this they meant that we don't simply watch television in the passive way designated by the term 'couch potato' but imagine ourselves in and as part of television."[14]
In addition to intellectually stimulating its audience, Seinfeld related to its viewers by posing and oftentimes answering questions of social etiquette. By establishing these questions, Seinfeld not only showed that confusing moments happen in life, but that it is normal for people to go through such problems. However, by portraying these issues on a sitcom, they were viewed as less of a "problem" and more as a simple occurrence, or even a solution to a problem, because humor seemed to solve the issue at hand. Some of these issues included dilemmas involving fat-free food and dry-clean-only clothes, which were introduced in the 1990s with anxieties.[15] These anxieties dissolved or were debunked with humor in the same manner that Seinfeld solved problems with comedy.
Nearly everything about Seinfeld seemed to be realistic – from its unconventional characters who participated in mundane daily activities, to its small apartments versus much more sizably enhanced ones shown on other 1990s sitcoms, like Friends. According to David,
All this education and conversation and parental guidance that you've had in your life does not prepare you for a huge number of things that come up. I think that what goes on in people's lives is that most of their mind, most of their day, is occupied with tiny struggles. That's what people's lives are about.[16]
I argue that David and Seinfeld produced their show to not only prepare viewers for struggles by establishing social norms within the culture, but they also reinforced certain social norms by mirroring viewers' lives on national television. By mirroring viewers' lives, they showed society what the majority (or subcultures, in some cases) of the nation was like in the 1990s. For example, Seinfeld showed the decline of the 1980s yuppies with the varying degrees (and oftentimes minimal) success of Jerry's group of friends, the weakening significance of familial stability and the promiscuity that seemed to permeate urban single-life. The characters on the show represented the idea that not everyone is the same, nor does everyone conform to the same or similar ideals. This is evident as the characters had been to college (all with the exception of possibly Kramer) and had tried careers and relationships, without ever settling down permanently, and remaining unsure about how their lives would turn out.
Although Seinfeld portrayed a common theme of uncertainty, it nevertheless accurately acknowledged that social and economic stability was not obsolete in American culture by the 1990s. For example, Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine had connections to more successful friends, often enjoying "tickets to expensive sports games or the opera, visits to country houses and cabins, first-class travel."[17] However, they also often make fun of these more successful characters, but this usually seems to occur due to annoyance of pretentiousness, opposed to jealousy or envy, proving that the characters simply rejected bourgeois values, rather than resenting the fact that they themselves did not have such characteristics or values.
Another trait of the show that some of its viewers could and can still relate to is that characters on Seinfeld "know what they are not supposed to do more than what they should and are chronically uncertain about what, and indeed who, they actually want."[18] This speaks to the idea that while American values may have been declining, they were still deeply rooted in culture because members of society were fearful of going against the grain by doing what they knew they were not "supposed" to do. However, I think this also shows that Seinfeld might have been attempting to establish a message that told America to do just that: to go against the grain, to break the rules, to de-stigmatize taboos. This is interesting considering Seinfeld's wide demographic of viewers: "…Seinfeld was invested in a generational divide between those who were either immigrants or the children of immigrants and those who thought of themselves as simply American."[19] But since Seinfeld's timelessness and intertextuality appealed to nearly everyone, I argue that the show bridged generations more than divided them.
In addition to bridging gaps between generations due to its content's timelessness, Seinfeld also brought classes, cultures and ethnicities together. This is principally due to the fact that many of Seinfeld's characters themselves transcended specific cultural categories:
[Seinfeld] is at first glance Jerry the American, one of TV's "us," a televisually acceptable, collegiately dressed SWM (single white male). But he has also identified himself as one of mytho-America's "them," a New York Jew, a sarcastic, wisecracking cynic with an overbite, living on the margin of the middle state.[20]
Jerry's Jewishness is precisely what makes him relatable to so many Americans. If he was not Jewish, and was of a more widely accepted religion in America, like Christianity, he would lose his "otherness" and would appeal only to who was considered to be mainstream in America. On the other hand, if he did not possess so many conventional urban American qualities, such as having a relatively stable job with a decent income, he would lose his appeal to the masses. Therefore, Jerry's Jewishness and his conventional qualities establish the notion that traditional cultural, social and ethnic categories that were once prominent in America were no longer valid by the 1990s.
Seinfeld'sProducer-Consumer Relationship
"Let's say right away that television is not the way to make major life choices. But it influences people in smaller ways, some of which we admit to, some of which we deny or repress."[21]
Seinfeld's target demographic was 18- to 34-year-olds, whom NBC advertised the sitcom to as Thursday night "Must-See-T.V." so that these viewers would discuss the show amongst each other and with people who were not yet familiar with the show in order to establish what was "culturally of the moment, hip and with it."[22] I argue that Seinfeld and David assumed their targeted viewers to be more liberal, granting themselves leeway to establish and reinforce social norms on the show. In other words, given Seinfeld's liberal audience, viewers were more susceptible to accept the show's ideals regarding social norms, rather than oppose them. For example, post-Stonewall, gayness was a recurring theme on the show, as seen on the 1995 episode, "The Beard," where Elaine tried to convert a gay man, and on the 1993 episode, "The Outing," where Jerry and George were perceived to be a gay couple, wanting to deny their alleged relationship, but fearing to be taken as being anti-gay or homophobes. Because of their openness discussing the gay community and their support of it (referring to being gay, "The Outing" broadcasted the famous Seinfeld quote: "Not that there's anything wrong with that."), these episodes may have influenced Seinfeld's viewers to be more accepting of gay people and their lifestyles.
With the anxieties that accompanied new ideas and products of the 1990s, like the aforementioned fat-free food, new social situations arose that were in need of negotiation. Seinfeld used humor as its prime means of negotiation, which seemed to be the perfect way to communicate new social norms to the show's targeted audience, considering its high ratings. Because Seinfeld's humor tactic resonated well with its audience, the show spoke to its viewers in a clear and understandable manner regarding social situations, social etiquette and cultural issues of the 1990s. Furthermore, its "concern for everyday life was born out of comedy and anxiety at once: what's the right thing to do in a given social situation and who decides? What are the rules?"[23] I argue that Seinfeld's audience felt immediate devotion to seek out these answers on the show and in real-life society.
According to sociologist Tim Delaney, we learn from observing others. This sharing of culture, or appropriately termed, "culture-sharing," defines the group to which we belong. Furthermore, the "study of human interaction must take into account the fact that people are influenced by their culture. The different societies of the world establish their own guidelines for what constitutes proper behavior."[24] I argue that these sociological parameters seem to outline the cycle of how Seinfeld influenced its audience and how society influenced the show. The cycle begins with 1990s society; Seinfeld then mirrors society to its audience, highlighting social norms that the show either established or reinforced; the audience then digests this, accepting either new social norms that Seinfeld has established, or old social norms that it has reinforced (which will be discussed in following sections of this essay). Seinfeld then continues to draw from society, which is also its audience, perpetuating the cycle.
We must keep in mind, however, that Seinfeld was designed for its audience to "get" the jokes, which made it seem less like the show was trying to establish or reinforce anything since the messages were rarely obvious. This introduces a paradox in the relationship between the producer and consumer since the message is less subtle, but is nevertheless intentionally being stated, which I argue enhances the meaning of the message to be even more profound if or when the viewer "gets" it. The power dynamics in this relationship are interesting because, by giving the consumer a sense of power in understanding the subtle joke or message, the message thus becomes more powerful, placing the power back in the hands of the consumer. This idea is supported by French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's theory that "since comedy reinforces power, power reinforces comedy."[25] In comedy, to gain any sense of power or relevance, the comedian must rely on the audience to get the joke. By getting the joke, the audience has assumed the power, but I argue that, at this stage, both the comedian and audience hold power because each have advanced a level in authority by understanding the other (whether it was the audience understanding the comedian's joke, or the comedian recognizing that the audience has understood the joke).
The hyper-awareness and power dynamics evident in this producer-consumer relationship are significant because they prove the power of meaning in Seinfeld's themes and jokes. However, after interviewing 15 people aged 29 to 50 – approximately the same age group that was part of Seinfeld's targeted audience during its running years – it is apparent that not all viewers "got" messages portrayed on the show. For example, Michael Stevens, a 30-year-old marketing director from Raliegh, North Carolina, said, "If anyone thinks [Seinfeld was controversial], they are looking too far into it. The show was made to make people laugh, and make money. Pretty simple." While Seinfeld's messages about social norms may not have been obvious to people such as Stevens, they were nonetheless influenced by how the show mirrored society to its viewers. For example, Stevens also said, "I didn't realize how anti-gay society was at first. Then in high school (during Seinfeld's initial popularity), I noticed how judgmental society was. But then I saw Seinfeld episodes about being gay where they said, 'Not that there's anything wrong with that,' and thought, 'Yeah, there really isn't anything wrong with that.'"
Messages on the show were more obvious to other people I interviewed, including Scott Cappelli, 29, a graduate student in the Radio-TV-Film Department at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). "When I saw ['The Cigar Store Indian'], I felt bad that Jerry made fun of [the Indian woman], but realized we do similar things growing up in school, playing games or dressing up in plays as Native Americans," Cappelli said, referring to the 1993 episode where Jerry is mistakenly perceived to be racist after a series of events he encounters with people of multiple ethnic backgrounds, including Native American and Asian. Perhaps Lisa Dresback, 29, a CSUF research assistant offered the most precise analysis of Seinfeld's provocative stereotypes best when she said, "The show makes use of controversial stereotypes to bring attention to the way they operate in the culture. It is for comedic purposes but also brings awareness." This statement alludes to the reinforcement of social norms, or the social consciousness Seinfeld brings to such social norms by popularizing them on national television, which will be discussed further in the next section.
Reinforcing and Rejecting Social Norms
"[Seinfeld's characters'] routine failure to excel reassured their viewers either that it was OK for them to not yet be doing as well as they might like… At the same time, under the guise of comedy, it addressed the nameless and unnamable fear of the American middle-class that life amounts to nothing."[26]
Seinfeld reinforced and rejected social norms by taking cultural expectations and reinforcing them in society as norms. As a result, according to Delaney, "culture becomes the social determinant of behavior."[27] But how did Seinfeld use culture to determine social behavior? What was the show reinforcing or rejecting through its display of specific social norms? This section will provide analysis of examples of episodes that demonstrate how Seinfeld popularized or rejected certain social norms, thus reinforcing them.
One of the main social ideals that Seinfeld reinforced was that it is acceptable to have stagnant moments without constant success as an adult, given that the characters on the show were in a state of constant arrested development, where their careers and love lives never advanced to permanent success or stability. Sometimes the characters showed interest in wanting something "more," but they never actually changed their lifestyles. For example, in "The Soul Mate," Elaine originally did not want to have children, but when her boyfriend got a vasectomy, she thoughtshe might eventually want children, but changed her mind yet again when her partner reversed his vasectomy. Also, in "The Bizzaro Jerry," Elaine spent time with a new group of friends, who were "altruistic and intellectual, lovers of books and the arts, while Jerry and friends consume entertainment: television shows, movies, and sports events."[28] She had the choice to continue to spend time with only her new friends of seemingly high culture, but she chose to go back to arguablyunambitious George, Jerry and Kramer. This demonstrates her contentment in remaining part of an arguably less successful group of adults, even after she had the option to climb the social class ladder.
America was built on the value of industry, expecting constant diligence and desire of nonstop success from its citizens. However, America is also an individualistic society, so who better to establish desires and goals for oneself than the individual? Seinfeld was produced during a time when marginalized groups, including women, homosexuals and people of color were granted more rights than ever before (although, not absolute freedom from oppression). According to cultural studies professor Barbara Ching, "[Comedy's and laughter's] endlessly repeatable and ever pacifying pleasures keep us from imagining radical changes in the status quo."[29] Therefore, I argue that David and Seinfeld sometimes-subtle use of comedy was their way to introduce changes in social norms. Many of these changes had already taken place in society, but were either not yet accepted or widely known, so by popularizing these ideals on national television, David and Seinfeld reinforced such ideals.
Social etiquette criticisms portrayed on Seinfeld as seemingly mundane daily occurrences might be of less social importance than more profound criticisms or reinforcements like making it acceptable to not constantly climb the social class ladder. However, these criticisms make up the bulk of the show's content, and are therefore the most obvious of the social norms being reinforced. The desire to hear and the need to say "thank you" is one example of social etiquette being critiqued, evident in "The Big Salad" and "The Face Painter." In "The Big Salad," George bought Elaine a big salad for lunch, but his girlfriend handed her the salad, which Elaine thanked her for instead of George, the salad purchaser. In "The Face Painter," Jerry received tickets to a sports game but did not thank the giver in time to be given tickets to the next game. Both episodes reinforce the importance of saying "thank you" – in order to rightfully give credit where credit is due and to possibly be rewarded further for being polite. This not only affirms that thanking is a cultural norm in America, but it sends a moral message to viewers that such etiquette is critical and valued in our culture. Similarly, manners – such as not talking during a movie and limits to the number of seats one should be allowed to save in a theater for latecomers – are criticized and reinforced in episodes such as "The Movie" and "The Raincoats." Episodes like these show that people in America are both rule enforcers and rule breakers, as Elaine was criticized by movie patrons for saving seats, and other characters were reprimanded for talking during the movie. Episodes that revolved around social etiquette, which was most or all episodes, raised questions to the audience, which made them active viewers, or even active citizens. Some questions, according to Delaney, were similar to, "how many seats can you save?" and "how long can you save a seat before it belongs to someone else?"[30] Other social etiquette criticisms revolved around dating and breaking-up, parking rules, cell and pay phones, tipping, road rage, and screening phone calls.
In addition to reinforcing social norms by critiquing social etiquette, Seinfeld also rejected American values. Seinfeld's rejection of the family home is supported by nineteenth-century novelist Gustave Flaubert's theory that "being about nothing in an escape from the hollowness of the bourgeois world."[31] For example, the show refuted the idea of the family home, especially a happy family home, when a family cabin was burned down in "The Bubble Boy," a baby was considered ugly in opposition to infants usually being considered cute in "The Hamptons," and George's childhood was repeatedly portrayed as askew, unhappy and unfulfilling. Moreover, the characters consistently shared each other's company at a diner or informally at Jerry's apartment, rather than conventionally at a dinner table or family gathering.
Other traditional American values that Seinfeld rejected were ideas regarding spirituality and certain religions, and the idea that hope or the American Dream lay in the West. Therefore, where television was once "fundamentally a comic medium not only in its reliance on the ancient dramatic structure that leads to a happy ending in the foundation and social reinforcement of the family but also in its quintessentially American optimism,"[32] it is now also the reality of secularism and misfortune. For example, in "The Burning," Elaine was dismayed when she confirmed that her boyfriend, David Puddy, was religious after she discovered that he had set Christian rock stations on the radio in his car. This reinforced the idea that not everyone in American society is religious – some might be atheist or agnostic, like Elaine appears to possibly be. Just like Seinfeld showed that facing stagnancy economically in one's thirties is acceptable, it also showed that not being religious is socially acceptable in America. In "The Trip," Kramer was in Hollywood to become an actor, and Jerry and George went there for Jerry to appear on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno. However, dreams of making it big in Los Angeles were crushed when Kramer was taken into custody after being mistaken for a serial killer who had been committing murders in the area, and Jerry and George were almost killed by the real serial killer. This episode rejects the longstanding idea in America that all will prosper and make fortunes in the West. Furthermore, Jerry broke traditional stereotypes of Jews by not being a "left-leaning do-gooder [or] a tough-minded businessman. He is a man committed to only one thing: detachment."[33]
Like the characters on Seinfeld, David and Seinfeld wanted to break away from tradition. According to Ching, disdain for embourgeoisement, or the idea of converting to or attaining bourgeois values, was the only thing that motivates Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine. This is apparent in "The Soul Mate," when Elaine claimed that her reason for not wanting children was because childbirth "has been done to death" – which was perhaps also why David and Seinfeld never had the characters become parents – because childbirth and parenthood had arguably been overdone on sitcoms. In fact, according to Ching, David and Seinfeld thought that "chasing the sitcomic American dream would render them indistinct from the common heard."[34]
The show certainly strayed from the common heard, flirting with crossing the line of controversy. However, many people I interviewed felt that Seinfeld brought somewhat taboo topics, like masturbation, to light in a subtle and humorous manner. For example, Cappelli said, "I don't think [Seinfeld] was controversial in terms of shock value. For instance, ["The Contest"] was a real-life topic (masturbation). They made an episode about something that people might think is controversial, but so that it was relatable/realistic and not outrageous." By portraying controversial subject matter to viewers in such a relatable fashion, I argue that viewers were probably more accepting of the debatable social norms that the show reinforced in society.
Establishing Social Norms
"[Television] comments on and creates the 'rules' of everyday life, providing a collective reference point for individual action in a new and confusing media-dominated society simply by being funny about it."[35]
Seinfeld also established and created social norms and phrases by broadcasting producers' own ideas nationally on television. With a Jewish comedian as the star of the show, one of the most profound ideals Seinfeld established was "a new form of Jewishness,"[36] as Jerry joked about anti-Semitism and circumcision but remained close to more traditional aspects of Jewish humor, like Yiddish theatre. Through the establishment of this new form of Jewish comedy by joking about serious subjects like the Holocaust and Shindler's List, Seinfeld brought a "hidden seriousness" to the show.[37] However, although subjects were joked about on network television, I argue that it did not take away from the severity of these subjects' nature. Perhaps these subjects contained issues that needed to be brought to national attention, and being brought up comically was possibly the quickest and surest way to bring such matters to light and into peoples' homes. As we have discussed in class, because television was in single peoples' and families' homes, there was no way to ignore messages portrayed on network television, other than turning the television off. Therefore, viewers adopted social norms that were established or created on Seinfeld largely because they were already part of viewers' lives by being in their homes.
Similar to how serious subjects were acknowledged because they were joked about, taboo topics were accepted because they were subtly referenced. Mirzoeff calls this "referential style" and it is used throughout Seinfeld, especially when referencing sex and sexuality. For example, in "The Contest," the premise of the entire episode was based on a deal agreed on amongst the characters to not masturbate, yet the word "masturbate" was never used. This allows the "sexual subject matter so typical of what was then called alternative comedy to transfer to mainstream television, precisely because it was not directly named."[38]
Furthermore, alternative viewpoints to certain rights and political views are established on the show. In establishing and creating different views, Seinfeld is usually responding to some sort of social problem, which supports communications professor Thomas Schatz's theory that genres are "systems of structure" and function as "problem-solving operations."[39] Examples of the establishment of alternate viewpoints can be seen when Jerry poked fun at Marxists, fascists and those who oppose abortion rights. "…Posting no political beliefs of his own, and glad to take potshots at anyone who does, [Jerry] leaves the viewer with the impression that anyone stupid enough to be committed to believe in anything, as opposed to nothing, deserves ridicule."[40] By Jerry leaving viewers with this impression, he established the notion that it is acceptable to not have beliefs, or to believe in multiple ideals, opposed to believing in something definitively.
Moreover, Seinfeld also established the idea that not everyone needs to be white-collar executives to enjoy success. For example, in "The Pitch," George was nervous and was afraid of NBC executives when he and Jerry pitched a sitcom. Jerry tried to calm George down and George responded by saying, "They're men with jobs, Jerry. They wear suits and ties. They're married. They have secretaries." Similar to how the show reinforces the idea that it is acceptable for people in their thirties to go through periods of stagnancy, this episode established the idea that contentment can be found beyond socio-economic success. Establishing this idea also reiterated the notion that some people might prefer contentment over happiness. If Jerry, George, Kramer or Elaine had found true happiness, they would have conformed to bourgeoisie values, which Ching argued the characters were against doing. Therefore, Seinfeld established a new notion that conformity might lead to unhappiness, which suggests that finding contentment might be a new version of the American Dream, opposed to its old ideals concerning happiness. This could also disprove the widespread belief that Americans are greedy because greed is not a factor in seeking or achieving mere contentment.
Finally, Seinfeld even established its own lexicon that became part of our nation's cultural idiolect with words like "re-gifter," "Festivus," "close talker," "Schmoopy" and "sentence finisher." Popular media like Regis and Kelly helped establish and further secure notions like "re-gifting," as they discussed such ideas on national media.[41] The fact that even simple words and phrases caught on at a national level proves the degree to which profoundly significant cultural establishments were made on Seinfeld and accepted nationwide.
Seinfeld and Syndication: The Greatest Sitcom Lives On
Still in syndication on several channels 23 years after its first episode aired, Seinfeld continues to create consciousness regarding social norms. Viewers' intellectual sense is still challenged even as they watch episodes they may have already seen, as they can relate the social norms and anxieties discussed on the show to today. Timelessness and intertextuality are evident in the social norms that are reinforced, rejected and established on Seinfeld through the use of humor to negotiate social situations. Furthermore, gaps between generations are still bridged, as today's generation is connected to those who watched the show in the 1990s, since both generations can relate to the daily activities on the show. Finally, messages regarding social norm remain subtle as ever through the use of humor and we still learn from observing others. Seinfeld's timelessness demonstrates that its modernist approach was successful in revolutionizing its genre, as it is the first show where nearly all themes (most notably, its theme of the difficulty and mundane nature of completing daily activities) are still relevant today, which proves the cultural significance in its reinforcement, rejection and establishment of social norms.

DALLAS—Another regular season game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas where the Mavericks rolled the Knicks 127-109.
Maybe, just maybe the Mavs pregame naps were more productive than the Knicks. J.J. Barea scored eight points and something that won't show up in the box score--plenty Zzz's before the game.
"It's a must, yea; it's a must for me," Barea said. "I love it, if I don't I don't' feel good and ready for the game."
This week's Mavericks schedule is a poster child for why so many NBA players nap.
Sunday they were at home against Memphis. Monday they were in Minnesota. Tuesday was a travel day. Wednesday the Mavs were in New Orleans and then Thursday night they were back in Dallas for a home game against New York.
Brendan Haywood score 12 points against the Knicks but you won't see his hours worth of pregame Zzz's in the box score.
"Most guys in the league have a ritual after the shoot around or whatever, Haywood said. "You get back to the hotel or if you're in your home city you get back to your house you might eat a little lunch or something like that and then you just nap off for about an hour, two hours depending on how you're sleeping."
Dr. Philip Becker is a sleep expert at Sleep Medicine Associates of Texas and says NBA players aren't taking traditional power naps which usually last about 30 minutes--these guys are using biphasic sleep--they get four or five hours here and then three or four hours later on.
"It's very valuable to have that rest," Dr. Becker said. "It restores the mind and the body, there is better coordination with better sleep, you are a better planner, a better executioner when you get proper sleep."
Dr. Becker says a regular a regular power nap can do the same thing for everyone else.
As a rookie Barea used to nap for four or five hours before games--now it's at least two hours--but he'd love to make it three or four.
"I just don't feel maybe mentally if I didn't take a nap, maybe I'm thinking about it," Barea said. "It's just important that you take a nap so you know you're rested so you can give it your all."
For Barea and other NBA players lights out in the bedroom can help them light it up during the game.
"I just like it, I'm not going to lie," Barea said. "I like taking naps."

Located in Eastern Europe and embracing the shore of the Black Sea, Romania is a country that finally emerged in the latter half of the 19th century (although disparate principalities had inhabited this land for millennia). After the Second World War, Romania was a part of the Soviet political conglomerate until its ultimate independence in 1989. Presently, Romania is experiencing a growing economy and many of its residents enjoy an upper-middle-class lifestyle.
Notwithstanding a healthy economy, Romania is rich in history and culture. Its capital city of Bucharest is a well-known financial centre that plays host to such attractions as the Palace of the Parliament and the National Museum of Contemporary Art. Similar advancements can be viewed in other districts. For instance, Craiova is a commercial powerhouse and offers visitors such attractions as the Madona Dudu Church, the Craiova Art Museum and a spacious botanical garden (one of the largest in Europe). These are some prime examples of the recent strides that Romania has taken towards a fully successful and integrated economy.
Family members, friends and colleagues living in Romania would appreciate the gift of flowers and thanks to modern technology and delivery options, such services, as send flowers to Romania, have never been more of a reality.

Prosecutors in Manhattan have named five additional men from Eastern Europe in an alleged scheme that pilfered $4m using more than 95,000 stolen credit cards. Using handles such as "the Viver," "Inexwor," and "DoZ," the men were part of an international conspiracy that reached half-way around the world to snatch the payment card …
All this at taxpayer expense...
The city of New York, the FBI, and any other agencies involved in this should sue the credit card companies to recover the expenses incurred deterring people from breaking the pathetic security measures the payment card industry uses.
Security joke
Most of the card industry is a security joke.
Even when they're not getting data stolen en-mass, they impliment things like chip and pin which are inherently flawed.
It used to be that a shop would actually touch and look at the card and your signature.
Since chip and pin you don't even hand the card over. You stick it into the slot and punch in the numbers.
This means there is sod all chance of me, a white male, being spotted using the card of "Mrs Jones", "Mr Mohamed" or "Mr Singh". All of which might have been noticed in the past.

Read: What The World Eats
Hungry Planet: What The World Eats is a book by photographer Peter Menzel that examines what different cultures eat and the health effects of those choices in a way that makes the problem of modern diets impossible to ignore.
When I clicked this link my boyfriend's sister posted to Facebook, all of the gears in my mind screeched to a halt and immediately tried to reconstruct what our photo would look like. Well, we don't drink ANY soda, I thought to myself after seeing pyramids of soft drinks in almost every photo. And we NEVER order pizza, or eat fast food, and I can't remember ever having potato chips in the house. Look at my high horse. See how it shines. But our (relatively) good diet is a thing of luxury. We eat well because we can. Because I work part time from home and have the benefit of keeping a healthy kitchen. Growing up, my single mother rarely had a chance to cook anything from scratch, and while we were never too strapped financially, she worked 60+ hours a week to take care of us, leaving little time for fresh meals.
It is only after having the free time to establish a healthy kitchen that I've streamlined the process and learned how to incorporate it into our daily lives. Making fresh, raw, delicious kombucha takes minutes a week, but you need a scoby and a tiny bit of ancient knowledge. Almond milk is stupidly easy to make, but you need good almonds and 15 minutes with a blender after soaking them over night. And eliminating store bought bread is probably the single largest way I've found to cut freaky commercial ingredients out of our daily diets, but, again, I can only continue to do so because I work from home. Who else has the time to proof dough and watch oven timers without baking themselves out of house and home?
Fast food culture isn't wholly socioeconomic, but poorer families undoubtedly have less time and access to the resources necessary to maintain healthy diets. We need to stop attacking the symptom and give people the tools to fight the disease. This means education, understanding food deserts, and each of us living by example in our own lives. Encourage a friend who's thinking about starting a vegetable garden, take the time to cook for our families when we can instead of ordering takeout, and let big agro and fast food companies know that we do not support their work by voting with our wallets (and saving our arteries some trouble).
If you're as fired up as I am about the lack of access and affordability of healthy whole foods, take a look at this TED Talk by renegade garden hero Ron Finley:
I'm curious now about keeping track of what we eat in a week and what the photo of our gastronomic lives would look like.

Depends on your budget and what you want.
We really wanted to own the pictures. I'd hate to have to track someone down in 5 years if we wanted a print. We were willing to sacrifice fancy books for the right to our photos. All of them!
Do you prefer more traditional photos or are you looking for a more photojournalistic approach?
We also wanted someone with on-line proofing. Since he's from the west coast, we want to be able to send a link of ALL the photos for family members who couldn't make it to look at. One guy we met with did nothing online
What about coverage? A lot of places I saw left after the cake cutting or the garter toss. Our photog said the last dance is as important as the first dance, and she would stay until the very end.
There are sooo many things you can ask, but these were the basics that were important to us.
here is the questions i looked at when i went photographer hunting.
When can we meet the photographer whose work I'm seeing so I can see if I feel comfortable with that person/ see if we
are on the same wavelength?
If the photographer we want no longer works for your studio when our wedding comes up, what will you do?
Are you a full-time photographer?
What is your definition of 'photojournalism'?
(not necessarily a wedding photographer)?
Make sure he will give you a CD of all the pictures!
It's funny - I met with my (one and only one!) photographer last monday and I googled questions to ask and I wrote them down; I had about 15. As we drove down to meet her, I reread the questions, and when we met her I had them with me and barely asked them because she covered every single question that I had. (to me, that is a pretty thorough and seasoned photographer).
As she showed her slideslow on her laptop and I think we looked at 5 or so books she brought with her, all of my questions were answered. (I forgot which ones I did ask but they were more of an affirmation on my end)
Needless to say our ride home was a very good one and we both decided we wanted her to be our photographer. We signed the contract this morning and sent it back to her with her retainer fee.
Also - all of the questions Gthorne has posted - was also all covered in the contract!

The fact that people can now like and signup on my site through their Facebook accounts has been a big plus. I noticed about 15% signup rate just in the past week.
They have demo sites for both Joomla 1.5 & 1.7 and these are set-up nicely and give you full access to test. A few more video tutorials would have been nice but I can't complain much as the modules are pretty simple to use.
The price is the cheapest I found compared to other extensions I seen. They are providing plenty of modules and also gives access to all joomla 1.5, 1.6 & 1.7 extensions.
I would recommend this product and certainly the amazing support that I received so far.

An Awesome Resume Presented As A Colorful, Minimalist Infographic
Singapore-based design student Chen Zhi Liang had to create an infographic resume for his semester-end assignment—his final product looks good enough to be sent out to real companies.
Taking a minimalist approach, he uses the pencil motif to indicate that this is a resume for a graphic designer.
Showcasing all the important information like qualification, skills and contact details, this uncluttered and colorful resume is eye-catching and will certainly stand out from the competition.
If someone send you such a resume, will you hire him?

|Anonymous asked: testing?
Sexposition, sex work, gay sex (or lack thereof), and our favorite manic pixie dream whore, Ros; this week we take a critical look at Game of Thrones' depiction of sex on the show thus far.
This episode is especially NSFW (not safe for work), so you might want to listen with headphones (or at home). Please be aware that there is TRIGGERING content (discussion of sexual assault and rape) as well. For those wary of spoilers, episode 3 is show-heavy as opposed to book-heavy; there are some very light spoilers toward the end for scenes shown in the trailers for season 3.
Special thanks to our guest, N'jaila Rhee aka BlasianBytch, sexpert and fellow Game of Thrones geek. You can find her on twitter, BlasianBytch.com (for toy reviews, thoughts on the adult industry, sexuality, and sex), the WeNerdHard podcast, and the Alter Negro Show. She'll also be speaking at Catalyst Con East 2013 on two panels, Sex and the Media, and a body-positive and sex-positive panel called, Does this Panel Make Me Look Fat.
Enjoy! Join us next week for our "Houses of Westeros" episode where we take a look at relationships within the major houses in Westeros! Drop us a line if you want us to cover something in particular.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — While the Republican National Convention relied on private charter buses to shuttle delegates around Tampa, Fla. the Democratic National Convention will rely in part on rail to mitigate traffic, Tampa Bay Times reported. Since Monday, attendees and other passengers boosted ridership on Charlotte Area Transit System's LYNX by 148% over a typical weekday.About 250 buses will be used to move nearly 6,000 delegates to DNC events. In Tampa, 400 buses were used to transport 2,200 delegates, a plan that was later judged as insufficient after several buses were late for many state delegations. For the full story, click here.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
Color Calibration Settings Are Broken, Won't Save
A couple days ago I was playing Diablo 3 (this may be totally unrelated to the problem). When I exited, my screen was very grey and dim (very similar to how everything gets greyed out when you get a security pop-up). Even when my brightness is set to the maximum value, the screen looks very grey.
I went to Windows 7's Color Calibration tool, and upon opening it, the problem was fixed. Everything looked normal. I went through the calibration, but at the end, I got the following error: "Display Color Calibration can't save the new calibration. Close other programs that are open, and then try again. The system cannot find the file specified". My display then went back to being very dim.
Today, I was asked to install Service Pack 1 again for some reason? No idea if this might be related.
I have tried:
-Reinstalling my graphics driver
-Calibrating the display in safe mode
-Exiting all unnecesary processes when trying to save the calibration
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Indiana Pacers' Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant were named NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week for games played Monday, Jan. 13, through Sunday, Jan. 19.
George helped the Pacers to a 3-0 week, with all three victories coming at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, behind a conference-best 30.7 points per game. George posted two games of 30-plus points as Indiana outscored opponents by an average of 20 points. He collected 36 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field on Jan. 18, during a 106-92 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Pacers own the league's best record at 32-7 (.821), and sport an NBA-best 21-1 (.955) record at home.
Durant led the Thunder to a 3-1 week, which included wins over Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. He averaged a league-best 39.3 points, and added 6.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds. He tallied a career-high 54 points on 19-of-28 shooting from the field on Jan. 17, during the Thunder's 127-121 win over the Warriors. Durant, who leads the NBA in scoring at 30.6 points per game, has tallied 30-plus points in seven consecutive contests.
