Midsomer Murders: Set 20 Blu-ray
Product Actions
Additional Information
Master Class
When world-famous pianist Sir Michael Fielding offers an audition-only master class in Midsomer, the competition is fierce. Introverted, anxious piano prodigy Zoe Stock wins a place in the class, but soon afterward witnesses a drowning that reminds Barnaby of a 20-year-old case. The detectives race to investigate a scandal from the past in order to prevent another death in the present.
Disc 2
The Noble Art
When Midsomer Morchard resident John Kinsella wins an international boxing title, it seems that everyone in town is delighted with his success, especially wealthy landowner Gerald Farquaharson. However, the celebrations sour during a reenactment of a Victorian prizefight, which reveals a story of greed, resentments, and complex entanglements that threaten to turn deadly.
Disc 3
Not in my Back Yard
Maureen Stubbs of the Midsomer Conservation Society is aghast at a wealthy builder's plans for a modern development in bucolic Pelfe Chase. After Stubbs is brutally murdered with a broken bottle, the detectives' investigation reveals that she may have been responsible for a string of burglaries and vandalism targeting supporters of the development. When the project's lead architect is found dead, Barnaby and Jones focus their suspicions on the conservation society-with surprising results.
Disc 4
Fit for Murder
A relaxing weekend at the spa turns into yet another murder investigation when Joyce finds a body in the spa's flotation chamber. The detectives discover several possible motives, including a feud between the spa's owners and their neighbors and a mysterious manuscript. After solving the crime, Barnaby decides it's time to pass the torch to his cousin, DCI John Barnaby.

Product Reviews
I have every other Midsomer Murders DVD so it was natrual to also purchase this one. OH NO! Tom Barnaby has retired! WE'll see what happenms from here on out.
We love DET CI Barnaby
We have avidly followed , and acquired, the Midsomer Murders dramas from their beginning and have enjoyed them over and over. Set 20 was a bit different in tone and presentation, but still totally engrossing. I am not certain the series will survive the change in main characters but time will tell.
I have always liked the series and I hate to see John Nettles leave.
I definitely don't like the new guy. story lines are good .But he needs to go
We have all 20 sets of Midsomer Murders and they are all wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys a really good murder mystery. The settings are beautiful and the cast is first rate.

They are also interested in looking at how family socioeconomic status, especially cases of severe poverty may differentially affect boys and girls and later this summer, will be starting a meta analysis of published studies on gender and theory of mind to learn where important similarities and differences occur, and at what points in early child development.

Faculty members are, from left, Peimin Ni, Shinian Wu, Lihua Huang, Yi Zhao, Wei Gu, YongLei Tao, Yan Yu and Patrick Shan.
More than a dozen faculty and staff members took part in a celebration of a decade-long partnership with the Grand Rapids Chinese Language School at an event April 16.
The event was intended to celebrate community and university collaborations and allow language school volunteers and students to show their appreciation for the support Grand Valley provides to the school through physical space for classes and time volunteered by faculty and staff members.
The school has held classes at the Pew Grand Rapids Campus for years, and volunteers from the school also take part in Grand Valley cultural events throughout the year.
Organizers said the highlight of the event was presenting a donation from the Chinese Language School to Julie Guevara, faculty director for the social work study abroad program in El Salvador. Guevara will get the donation to an organization that works with survivors of human trafficking.
Principal Xun Yan said the Chinese Language School considers itself part of a much larger community.
"We hope to promote mutual understanding among the people of different cultures," Yan said. "Professor Guevara's program has helped students to learn about and experience other cultures and it has also been an act of humanity to help those who need it the most."
Yi Zhao, associate professor of political science, is a volunteer with the school. He said he thinks the collaboration between the school and the university is beneficial because the university gets access to Chinese instructors who are native speakers of the language, as well as experts in Chinese culture through the volunteer network at the school. The language school benefits through physical space and gaining the expertise of the various Chinese faculty members who represent a multi-disciplinary segment of the faculty and staff of the university.
"For our faculty members, this is a form of community engagement," Zhao said. "Through the school, our faculty members engage with the community and such engagement benefits their teaching and research."
The Grand Rapids Chinese Language School is open to students of all ages and backgrounds. The school enrolls about 120 students in more than a dozen Saturday classes.

They claim Our Phantom All In One Home Entertainment System with 999 Channel Digital Tuner is truly plug and play with TV programming out of the box.
This is NOT TRUE. You have to call your cable company to have them activate the digital capabilities of the box. After several calls and arguments with my cable company and finally a visit from them they said that the box was antiquated and would not work with their system!
I very quickly returned the box by US Mail shipped back on September 15 th 2009 as they have aleged 15 day no questions money back guarantee. This cost me $41.85
The United States Postal Service Delivery confirmation receipt tracks the unit as follows:

I then called Info Net Product 866-877-8989 and was told that I would be receiving refund shortly. Two weeks whent by and nothing. I then called them again and this time they told me that they would send me an email with instructions on how to get my refund. I received the following email from ftad123 @ on 10/29/2009 11:44am (Pacific)
Dear Customer,
To obtain your refund please send an email to us at ---@yahoo.com . When emailing, please put "Refund Request" in the subject line. In your message, please put your name, address, telephone number and email address as well as the tracking code you shipped it back under. Please make sure that you use the information that the product was ordered under when emailing.
Thank You,
Digital TV Express
I replied/emailed back with the information they requested on 10/29/2009 a t 1:08 pm (Pacific)
Today 11/18/2009 I received an envelope with my refund for $152 minus $38.00 restocking fee!!!
I lost $149.85 in my transaction with INPhome/Info Net Products and it took 2 months to get a refund.
I blame this on their false advertisement. This is NOT Plug and Play.
This 35 pound system is ANTIQUATED!
They also fail to inform you that it requires your cable company to activate the digital features of the box and Cable companies are not going to do this for you.
My suggestion is to buy (((competitor's name redacted)))) and rent a cablecard from your Cable Company for about $2 a month.

Marca report that the Premier League side, who have been keeping tabs of Atleti's highly-prized creative midfielder Oliver since he was 16, have recently moved to scouting the player's work with the senior side.
Having debuted for the capital club in August before returning to the B team, 18-year-old Oliver has recently stepped back up to first team affairs under Diego Simeone.
In response, City reportedly sent scout and former Deportivo and Celtic player David Fernandez to watch the youngster in Atletico's 0-0 draw at Depor this weekend.

Posted on 03/08/2008 5:31:18 AM PST by Travis McGee
Prior to my last appearance on CNBC in October 2007, I had made more than 50 appearances on the network over the prior two years. In those segments, I repeatedly exposed the superficiality of our prosperity, described the American economy as a house of cards, pointed out that borrowing and spending were a ticking time bomb rather than a viable plan for long term economic health, and explained how investors could prepare for the tough times ahead. At the time, those forecasts were met with ridicule and led to my being nicknamed Dr. Doom. Now that these predictions have come to pass, most on CNBC now claim that no one saw it coming!
In my 2006 and 2007 on-air appearances, to a chorus of sneers and laughter, I predicted the bursting of the housing bubble, the collapse of the subprime mortgage market, the credit crisis, tightening lending standards, waves of defaults, bankruptcies and foreclosures, weakness in financials, retailers and homebuilders, stagflation, surging gold, oil and other commodity prices, soaring federal budget deficits and a collapse in the value of the U.S. dollar. You would have thought that some of the reasons I gave for making those predictions would now be given some credence. They have not.
The current line at CNBC is that, prior to the unexpected contagion emanating from the subprime mess the U.S. economy was experiencing a Goldilocks era of optimal health. They now believe that if the Fed and the Government can divine the right combination of fiscal and monetary policy, Goldilocks will once again be blissfully picking daisies or more precisely, buying SUVs. Unfortunately, as I said then, Goldilocks was, and still is, a fairy tale. In fact, the unfolding economic disaster is a direct consequence of the misguided faith placed in that absurdly optimistic parable. And since they were incapable of diagnosing the disease, is it any wonder that their cures are completely ineffective?
This lack of understanding is further confirmed by the skepticism with which the mainstream financial community still regards my diagnosis. For example, in a Feb 22, 2008 article in TheStreet.com, entitled Dr. Doom Zeros in on Inflation, Mike Holland, a CNBC regular leveled two common criticisms often used to discredit me. Holland says investors who listened to Schiff throughout the recent bull market missed out on some attractive returns in the stock market and A broken clock is right twice a day. If you say things are going to be bad long enough, eventually you're going to be right."
What attractive returns does Holland think my clients missed out on? Those who followed my advice invested in foreign stocks, bonds and currencies, as well as precious metals, oil and other commodities. Investors who listened to me instead enjoyed much greater returns by participating in the real bull markets. Its amazing how few people have managed to figure this out!
The stopped clock analogy is one I have been dealing with for years. Those using it maintain that my early warnings invalidate my forecasts. It is precisely because my warnings were so early that they were so valuable to investors. In addition, such charges assume that the current downturn is unrelated to those warnings and that my critique of the U.S. economy was inaccurate until now. My critics, the real stopped clocks, still do not understand that the phony prosperity they were defending and that I was challenging lies at the root of the current crises. When the bubble was still inflating it is understandable that those trapped inside viewed me as a stopped clock. However, now that it has burst, it is amazing how many still cannot get the soap out of their eyes.
If a picture, or in this case a video, is worth 1,000 words, this CNBC match up from August 2006 between me and Arthur Laffer, a CNBC favorite, is priceless. Some of Laffers best one-liners include the U.S. economy has never been in better shape, and monetary policy is spectacular. I kid you not -- Click Here and enjoy the show.
"Embrace the recession"
I'll say that I didn't realize so many people were using home equity to buy stuff they couldn't afford. Because the value of their homes went up they thought they were in money... I don't understand why they didn't realize that every cent was borrowed money that had to be paid back regardless of the current value of their home. I really, really don't understand.
All of America seems to have the head-in-sand condition. Corporate America is just as bad. Most execs and managers never seem to see the doom coming yet every employee is screaming about it. It is pure laziness. As long as they are getting a paycheck and can go home at 5:00 they believe things will be just fine.
Schiff is an Austiran, and he is right. Laffer is a Keynsian, and he is dead wrong.
"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."~~Ludwig von Mises
"Credit expansion can bring about a temporary boom. But such a fictitious prosperity must end in a general depression of trade, a slump."~~Ludwig von Mises
"True, governments can reduce the rate of interest in the short run. They can issue additional paper money. They can open the way to credit expansion by the banks. They can thus create an artificial boom and the appearance of prosperity. But such a boom is bound to collapse soon or late and to bring about a depression."~~Ludwig von Mises
"Credit expansion is not a nostrum to make people happy. The boom it engenders must inevitably lead to a debacle and unhappiness."~~Ludwig von Mises
"What is needed for a sound expansion of production is additional capital goods, not money or fiduciary media. The credit boom is built on the sands of banknotes and deposits. It must collapse."~~Ludwig von Mises
"If the credit expansion is not stopped in time, the boom turns into the crack-up boom; the flight into real values begins, and the whole monetary system founders."~~Ludwig von Mises
Oh, boy. I can't wait for the super-capitalists here on FR to come to this thread and tell us how important it really is for China to take our dollars.
Or, to tell us that debt is better than tangible assets.
Or, that equity really IS wealth.
Or, that GDP is more important than a middle class.
" I really, really dont understand. "
Neither, apparently, did the vast multitudes that bought into the "Equity Farming" myth....
And, on the ol' Equity Farm, the chickens are coming home to roost.....
What does this guy know? It is common knowledge in Amerika that you can borrow your way to wealth. The bigger the loan they "give" you, the luckier you are!
I just got approved for a 900,000 dollar loan, I'm going to be RICH! /s
My wife was like that. She couldn't grasp that equity didn't exist unless you took out a loan and had to pay it back.
Luckily I was able to get through to her.
Then I guess it's time againg for "Spanish Lessons."
William R. Hawkins, Wednesday, April 07, 2004
"Yet, Spanish leaders were deluded by a sense of false prosperity. This is testified by the statement of a prominent official, Alfonso Nunez de Castro in 1675: 'Let London manufacture those fine fabrics of hers to her heart's content; let Holland her chambrays; Florence her cloth; the Indies their beaver and vicuna; Milan her brocade, Italy and Flanders their linens...so long as our capital can enjoy them; the only thing it proves is that all nations train their journeymen for Madrid, and that Madrid is the queen of Parliaments, for all the world serves her and she serves nobody.' A few years later, the Madrid government was bankrupt. The Spanish nobleman had foolishly elevated consumption, a use for wealth, above production, the creation of wealth."
Art Laffer sounds just like Alfonso Nunez de Castro in the video.
Perpetual Bears are like broken clocks, they are eventually correct. I don't listen to them.
The time to listen is when a Bullish person makes Bearish predictions.
I remember a guy that was predicting a burst of the tech bubble from 1990 all the way to when it burst ten years later. Then he wanted to be treated like a profit. All high growth sectors eventually burst. It happens every single time.
I wonder which FR super-capitalist is really Laffer?
Laffer staked a penny and his sacred honor on the current.
Laffer - "seignorage gain" is what he calls it when we run a $60B per month trade deficit. He also claims that families have 2 incomes because the "love their work."
I think Laffer lost the bet.
Believe it or not, there ARE times when it is prudent to be Bearish.
Thought admittedly it is not en vogue here on FR with a R in the WH.
These are some of the 'Boys' that Ben Bernanke is trying to save by raping the dollar. Read the report for yourselves. I say 'Line 'em up and shoot 'em down.'
Get out your popcorn. These investigations are just getting started. Corrupt mortgage lenders get burned in live testimony. Will 'Big Angelo' go to jail or get whacked by his cronies when he travels to Sicily? . . . LOL . . . LOL !
Watch this Video on the Rape of the Dollar
If you do not have a high speed Internet connection, use a friend's or drive to the public library. Have a good, long horse laugh for free.
There are a lot of times when its prudent to be bearish. I'm bearish right now. I was just pointing out that there are people who make a career out of being bearish and then want to be treated like a profit when they are right. Like a weather man that predicts snow every day of the year, and then runs around yelling "I told you so" on the day of the big blizzard.
Yeah, that CNBC infobabe enjoys her high 6 figure job, that's for sure!
I wonder if Laffer will send Schiff the penny and the letter?
I am so counting on it I am turning blue in the face holding my breath.
Or did he not? Did you watch the debate video?
You are a perfect example of someone trying to discredit Schiff with his own "broken clock" comparison. You're perfect. Don't stop. You make his point beautifully.
Profit? Hmmmmm.... Kind of appropos in this discussion.
According to the moneychangers of the world we are ALL just profits and losses.
Holy cow, history has splattered mud on Laffer's face.
Although travis was wrong about interest rates going up...
And that bimbo kicking in about women and jobs? She does not deserve the soapbox she gets. Nor do her opinions.
>>I just got approved for a 900,000 dollar loan, Im going to be RICH!<<
Skip the country and move to a nice abode in Central America and you will be!
Oranges are a penny a piece. No building permits. Hired help for a few dollars a day.
I have a friend that has a 50 acre ranch, a 6,000+ sq ft house and puny property taxes. The whole thing cost less than $100k! The locals are very friendly, corruption is about the same as in the US.
But you gotta learn spanish.
I don't know who Schiff is but, according to what I read, he has been a perpetual bear for years. IF he has clients they would have all fired him by about April of 2007.
I prefer to listen to this guy who called the market top in 2000 and is very bullish right now.
Or because taxes are too high, Laffing Boy, or because the breadwinner took a pay cut, or there are lots of medical bills, or they both work at McDonalds, etc.
Dr. "Doom" AKA Dr. " Got It Right" nailed it - and saved his clients grief and money. But what's Dr. "Got It Right" saying now? How much further down do we go? (My guess - housing will lose another 30%) and when will it end?
The declared expectations by the "oh so wise ones" concerning jobs would be that there would be 25,000; however, the reality is that 63,000 were lost. That's in the public sector.
The private sector lost 101,000 jobs.
Manufacturing lost 52,000 jobs.
Construction lost 39,000.
Restaurants and health care lost 19,000 and 37,000, respectively.
Yeah.....a "broken clock" is right twice a day.
I know what's happening. I would tell you. But then I would have to call some of Angelo's buddies. They would want to silence both of us forever. The fish would be very happy . . . Just kidding . . . LOL . . .
[All of America seems to have the head-in-sand condition]
Agreed. It is part of being snake bit.
>>Like a weather man that predicts snow every day of the year, and then runs around yelling "I told you so" on the day of the big blizzard.<<
Good point. But what if a weather man just this week started saying it is going to snow and then it does? It is disingenuous to then say that he was just a "stopped clock being right" because SOME OTHER weather man has been saying since June that it was going to snow.
Also, a lot of people missed the timing of this meltdown because few knew just how many tricks would be pulled to keep the bubble inflating. I thought it was crazy when banks increased the allowable mortgage payment from 30% to 50% of income. I thought THAT was creating unqualified buyers. But I had no idea just how silly they would get in granting loans.
And that simply prolonged the day of rekonning but also ensured that it would be worse once it got here.
And it has been said that these sort of collapses always take longer to arrive than predicted, but once they arrive, they unfold more rapidly than predicted.
This is going to be a VERY interesting year. Popcorn futures should be up.
Yep. She's not waiting tables or sewing garments or loading boxes to feed her children.
What a pompous ass she was.
Our local conservative talk station (KVI) has Carlene Johnson as a "sidekick" to Kirby Wilbur. She started off as a traffic, news, weather girl and still really is. I've met her. She is a nice person.
But she gets to stand on the soapbox quite often with her opinions much like the bimbo in the video. I agree with most of her opinions but she is like a child merely echoing their parents opinions. She cannot back them up and just sounds lame when she tries.
Yet callers that clearly have the ability to articulate the foundations upon which their opinions are based are given the bum's rush.
It is one of the reasons I don't listen much any more.
Government Records
Who owns the defaulted mortgage is a headache for the government, which Morgan Stanley insists doesn't always know the correct owner of the property. Judges in at least five states have stopped foreclosure proceedings because the banks that pool mortgages into securities and the companies that collect monthly payments haven't been able to prove they own the mortgages, according to court records.
Banks or mortgage companies typically hire people to care for repossessed properties. As foreclosures increase and the value of property drops, more companies are simply walking away, Zandi said.
The three-bedroom condominium on Boston's Hendry Street deeded to Morgan Stanley is on the market for $54,900. The unit, located in an area known as Meeting House Hill for a nearby church founded by Puritans in 1631, sold for $299,000 two years ago, according to public records.
Morgan Stanley said it bought the loan in April 2006 to package and resell it in a security. That didn't happen because the homeowner defaulted on the first payment.
Ben Bernanke only wants to save his wealthy Wall Street cronies. Even if it wrecks the U.S. dollar. Even if doing so ruins the entire American middle class.

The discovery by financial capitalists that they made money out of issuing and selling securities rather than out of production, distribution and consumption of goods accordingly led them to the point where they discovered that the exploiting of an operating company by excessive issuance of securities or the issuance of bonds rather than equity securities not only was profitable to them but made it possible for them to increase their profits by bankruptcy of the firm, providing fees and commission of reorganization as well as the opportunity to issue new securities.
Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time', by Carroll Quigley;
The "operating company" being the American Dream.
The American Dream was doing just fine before Subprime Posterboy, (Ex)Ambassador to the Netherlands, Roland Arnall, and his pirate armada sailed out of Long Beach:
Godfathers of subprime Established in 1979 by Roland Arnall, Long Beach Savings grew rapidly after Wall Street opened the credit tap. It moved to Orange in 1991 and gave up its banking license in 1994, converting to a pure mortgage company. In 1997, Long Beach Savings split into privately-held Ameriquest and a publicly traded subsidiary, which sold for $350 million in 1999 to become the subprime arm of Washington Mutual Inc. Other companies were started by executives who learned the ropes at Long Beach Savings: ResMae Mortgage Corp. in Brea in 2001 and Encore Credit Corp. in Irvine in 2002. ... "You also had the Godfathers of subprime." Daurio said the Godfathers were Arnall, Brian Chisick of Irvine-based First Alliance Mortgage Co., Russell and Rebecca Jedinak of Guardian Savings & Loan in Huntington Beach, and John T.

What a snake pit to untangle!
The only time equity is money is when a person or couple sells their home, takes the capital gain, moves to an area of the country where the property taxes are much lower, and buys a smaller home 30-50% what they sold the previous for.
Though there are market sectors and individual stocks that can return 8% or better at times, as a whole, it is counter productive for the entire economy to average a pace like that. The population and the standard of living have to increase at 3-4% annually to create the demand for the economy to grow and the rise in our standard of living cannot be leveraged.
Because they are beholding to the corporate financial sector and it was the only near term solution to slow catastrophic failure of the big banks and securities firms.
Travis IS NOT WRONG. We are in a period of stagflation and inflation is going to continue with food and energy and medical and taxes in the near term and at least 2 years out.
Because China and India's and Asia's on other nations' economy have grown much faster than ours, but, they will still have to eat too.
The next gold mine is in the food commodities and the politico's know it.
In the meantime, the buying power, savings / investment effect of America's middle class will be trashed by 20% permanently from here on out. Average wages will lag 4 years behind this current recession.
Until American government gets its financial houses in order (cut spending and pay off some debt) and reinvests in domestic manufacturing and domestic consumption of those higher quality / better technology goods, the strength of the dollar will be even less now as I type.
When it comes to real value, you can't BS the world and a continued trade deficit every quarter and every year is nothing but US dollars flowing out to other countries economies so their wealth can increase.
We ain't seen nothing yet.
Layoffs, nationwide, in half the business sectors are coming by early summer.
Funny how that record figure of $38 billion in bonuses to Wall Street in December doesn't get a lot of press exposure, neither. Reminds me of the looting in the aftermath of the LA riots and Katrina.
What I find difficult to believe is that all the preachers of the faux prosperity over the past eight years could believe their own BS.
Millions of Americans have been using their home equity for several years just to survive. And then they tap out their 401K, in spite of the penalties and additional taxes. Unless they fit into some government statistical report (i.e. employed, recently unemployed, in default or foreclosure, etc.) they simply don't exist.
And most people really, really don't understand -- until their number comes up.

Cort McCown
Cort McCown is an American actor and comedian.
McCown debuted on the 1985 hit film Teen Wolf with a role as one of Michael J. Fox's basketball teammates. He followed that with a supporting role as Quint on the 1987 hit teen film Can't Buy Me Love. In 1989 he had roles in the films Beverly Hills Brats and One Man Force. And 1992 comedy/horror film Auntie Lee's Meat Pies, with Pat Morita.
McCown has also appeared on television shows like Hunter, JAG, Beverly Hills, 90210, and on the soap opera's Passions and The Young and Restless. In 2010, he returned to TV with a role on the FX sitcom The League. He recently completed a Feature Film with the Sundance Award
Winning Barnes Brothers.
In 2001 McCown began touring as a Stand Up Comedian, opening for acts like Andrew Dice Clay and Harland Williams. He is a regular at Los Angeles clubs The World Famous Comedy Store and Laugh Factory.
In 2003 McCown created The Playboy Comedy Tour that was at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas for 9 years, winning "Best of Las Vegas" several times. He was also the Morning Show host for Playboy Radio when it debuted on Sirius Satellite Radio.
McCown was recently featured in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Festival in Nashville.
In 2014 McCown performed at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the show American…ish, and The Amsterdam International Comedy Festival, as well as a Tour in England.
Currently McCown has a Podcast with fellow Comedian Joe Bartnick titled "Insensitivity Training" on All Things Comedy Network. He can also be seen touring clubs across the country performing Standup Comedy.
After this Cort began performing Stand-up Comedy at clubs across the nation. Cort is a paid regular at "The World Famous Comedy Store" on The Sunset Strip. Cort is also the Co-Creator of "The Playboy Comedy Tour" at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas. The show was twice voted "Best Comedy Club" in Las Vegas.
Cort was recently on SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO where he Co-Hosted "THE PLAYBOY MORNING SHOW" for PLAYBOY RADIO CHANNEL 198. He was also featured on "The Girls Next Door" when Hef came to Vegas to see "Playboy Comedy".
Sandy Danto
It's noon and in Los Angeles there is one hilarious individual and right now he's sleeping. Yes, sleeping. It's noon. The temperature is rising. The Sun is starring daggers at us and this man, Detroit-native SANDY DANTO continues his slumber. Why is he sleeping? Because he can. The difference between the reader and him is that when he wakes up, he's not popping out of a dream. He's living in it. He's living it. Sandy on stage is like watching Lebron James try out for Freshman basketball at St. Vincent- St. Mary, they both had to take bathroom breaks.
Joking aside, Danto goes up everywhere. His resume is a who's who of legendary (and not so legendary) comedy clubs around the world. His actual life lends itself to the most unique stories that could be written for TV and film. He references tough times in his life that in no way, should be funny, but he pulls off the job. The reaction received from taking in his creativity isn't just a laugh or a "That's funny"; it's a thought process that activates inspiration and emotion and you'll be grateful for it.
Sandy moved to Hollywood after studying at Indiana University while taking summer classes at Second City in Detroit. He immediately started working at National Lampoon upon landing in Los Angeles. He is a character actor, but is equally comfortable playing himself and did so plenty during his stint with the Lampoon. In addition to his on camera work, he writes, directs and produces comedy shorts, which is what he was hired to do for National Lampoon in the first place. He's appeared on Mad TV and Comedy Central's Mash up. He goes on tour with 90's icon Pauly Shore all over the world and built a name for himself that he carries back to LA on his back and throws down at the steps of his apartment, where he gets back to work, writing jokes. Whether or not any success, paid gigs or applause fulfill him, isn't even relevant at this point. His presence on stage as a performer and friend is relevant in itself. Anything else is bonus and whether or not you laugh, isn't. He'll be fine because, after all, he's just dreaming.
Jay Davis
At an early age, Jay was naturally doing comedy at his family functions having his great Uncle Raymond laughing so hard he almost fell out of his wheelchair. Jay moved to Los Angeles to pursue film acting. He booked a few national commercials, a bad B movie, the lead in a Disney after school special and a couple of featured roles on television. Auditions were few and far between so Jay realized he should start doing stand-up comedy professionally.
Davis, craving stage time decided to create his own comedy night on the Sunset Strip at an Irish Pub. This Comedy night became one of the hottest and most talked about comedy rooms in comedy history. Comedians Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Alonzo Bodden, Tommy Davidson, Andrew Dice Clay, Jamie Kennedy, Rosanne Barr, Darrell Hammond, Pablo Francisco, Jay Mohr, Darren Carter, David Allen Grier, Paul Rodriguez were some of the many talented comedians that would frequent the show, or popped by to do a set. Since the closing of the Irish Pub Jay has moved his comedy producing skills into the World Famous Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip.
Davis produces/hosts the hottest comedy show in Los Angeles, Every Tuesday night, The "Life of the Party" Show from 10pm to 12:30am. He just wrote/produced/starred in an award winning "Best Comedy" short film for the 168 film festival. Jay has appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and one of the stars of Dane Cook's movie "8 Guys", and just finished a 30 day comedy tour filming a documentary series, Dane Cook's "Tourgasm" with Robert Kelly and Gary Gulman, 9 episodes starting June 11th on HBO. Jay is currently auditioning for television & feature films as well as touring clubs & colleges across the country. Check his myspace page for upcoming shows at: www.myspace.com/jaydaviscomedy
Eleanor Kerrigan
Eleanor J. Kerrigan is the latest in a long line of historically funny women who cut their teeth at the World Famous Comedy Store. Starting out as a waitress there, Eleanor learned the ropes of comedy, all the while making the best comics in the country laugh, in the kitchen of the club. It would take several years and lots of pushing from one of her biggest fans, Andrew Dice Clay, to finally get her to take her comedic talents to the stage. After co-starring with him in "Dice Undisputed", Dice invited Eleanor to go on the road with him to promote the show. "I'm an actress not a stand up!" she replied. After seeing her one woman show, Andrew would no longer take no for an answer. "You're hysterical and everyone should know that!" he said, and Eleanor's been performing stand up in clubs and theaters around the country ever since. Her hilarious take on life comes from her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly, as one of 10 children in a very Irish-Catholic family. She paints an uproarious portrait of her life experiences, beginning with her childhood in a three bedroom row home and moving to her adventures as an adult living in L.A... Eleanor's shoot-from-the-hip take on life is both refreshing and exciting. She's not afraid to give the audience a piece of her mind and they love her for it. Eleanor is also a graduate of the esteemed Joanne Baron and D.W. Brown acting studio in Santa Monica, California, following in the footsteps of acting greats such as Halley Berry and Patrick Dempsey. She's had audiences rolling as one of the motorcycle riding, pool cue wielding tag team called "Harley's Angels" on UPN's "Women of Wrestling" and has made countless appearances on other major networks such as Nickelodeon and VH1. Eleanor Kerrigan is certainly one to watch and will be touring the country with her brazen brand of humor. Don't miss her!

Adam Gropman
Adam Gropman is an ambidextrous, double-jointed, linguistically gifted Bostonian somewhat resembling a young Geoffrey Rush. He's also heard Adam Sandler and Ben Affleck- he'll talk any of those comparisons, gladly. Adam has distiniguished himself as a writer of creative material for top comedians internationally and as a performer of intelligent, offbeat, honest standup comedy himself at clubs throughout California and across the country. After graduating from Second City's Conservatory program in Los Angeles, Adam was a member of the group Sketch Armstrong, for whom he wrote a large portion of the sketches and also acted in many different character roles. Sketch Armstrong went on to perform at the prestigious San Francisco SketchFest, LA Improv Festival, Sacramento All Sketch, UCB Theater, Comedy Cocktail (incubator of 'Workaholics', 'Key & Peele') and multiple packed-crowd appearances at the Comedy Central Stage. A sketch that Adam wrote and starred in was directed into a short film called 'Insight Into The Enemy' by the highly accomplished Marc Leidy and won admission to the HBO Aspen and Montreal JFL festivals, winning distinct honors at both. As an actor, Adam played opposite Samantha Morton and Jason Patric in the NY Times-lauded, Cannes/Sundance feature film 'Expired', and won thumbs ups for his Adam Sandler impersonation on ABC's contest reality show 'The Next Best Thing.' He also played prominent roles in the festival-awarded short films 'Rollin', 'Pluzman', and 'Spicy Nose', and portrayed the character of Clark, opposite Greg Behrendt, Dave (Gruber) Allen, Mark Fite and others in Bonnie McFarlane's comedic play 'The Funny Funny Ha Ha Hour.' Adam's presentation 'Unhappy Camper', in the international smash hit live show and Simon Schuster book 'Mortified' has won him powerful laughter and audience accolades in various cities and was turned into the on man show 'Get Me Out Of Here!' seen at the Hollywood Fringe and Comedy Central Stage. Adam also writes widely lauded creative (and often humorous) articles for the LA Weekly and has also contributed to the Orange County Register, Brand X, Metromix and the respected NYC-based Mirth Magazine. Adam has also appeared in creatively offbeat commercials for Nescafe and Joe's Crab Shack, if which he is actually somewhat proud. Despite all of this dry and serious credit-listing, Adam is actually a funny, dynamic and likable standup performer on stage.
Bryan Callen is a comedian, actor, and current co-host of the wildly popular FOX Sports podcast The Fighter and the Kid, with UFC star Brendan Schaub. Callen got his start as an original cast member of MAD TV. He then went on to play numerous roles on the small and big screen including, Old School, Bad Santa, Sex and the City, Entourage, Californication, 7th Heaven, King of Queens, Stacked, Las Vegas, West Wing, CSI, and The Hangover II.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
As I mentioned in March of 2012 we went to the Flushing Bob's location and decided to make a purchase on the Bobroom with the salesperson (Cindy). All in all, she was very nice and took her time with us (but that's part of the job anyway, right?) She gave us the understanding that the "Goof proof" (5yr warranty) was mandatory so we got that and decided to get the whole set with an additional night stand. Prior to making the transaction she told us that some of the parts were going to be available that upcoming weekend but the rest of the order was going to take about another week and half to be delivered. We decided to wait a little longer to be able to receive everything together cause we thought what's the point in receiving one part of the order and the the other one.
We waited about two and a half weeks for the order to be delivered. We receive the deliver on the time and date which they had told us. The two delivery guys entered all the items they had bought and once they brought EVERYTHING in they decide to tell us that the headboard go damaged when they were loading the truck and it didn't come in that delivery (they left it in the warehouse to get it fixed) I was extremely infuriated and decided to tell them to take it back and to make the delivery when EVERYTHING was together. Eventually the told me that they were going to go to the warehouse and bring it a little later that same day. We were dumb enough to believe them and of course we never go the headboard that same day. They left the items at our apt. all in the original packing (boxes).
I called customer services and told them what had happened and they said that they were going to do the delivery about 5 days later. My husband had to miss work that day since we wanted to have out bedroom set as soon as possible. When the delivery people go there to deliver the headboard, they unpacked everything and ALMOST EVERYTHING WAS BROKEN!! I couldn't believe the condition which this set was delivered. The bottom of the footboard was broken, the wood around the mirror was broken, one of the night stands were broken and the wood on the headboard was chipped. I was sooo outraged!!
My husband tells them that he can't accept an item which looks like it's used and walks away to call customer service. When my husband gets off the phone to speak to the delivery people, the delivery guy says that the chipped wood off the headboard was fixed. When my husband goes to look, he noticed that the delivery guy colored it in with a dark marker. I seriously couldn't believe the professionalism of this company.
The delivery guys left because they said that they had to do another delivery and i immediately called customer services telling them that i wanted to get a refund because there was no way i was going to accept this furniture. i had to wait about three weeks for them to do the pick up and i also spoke to a manager and explained to her everything. at first they didn't want to give me the full refund and instead offered me to make an exchange for another item. there was no way i was going to settle for another bedroom set after all these incidents of irresponsibility and unprofessionalism. Eventually after yelling and arguing they decided to give me a refund.
It was too much of a hassle to deal with this company and i truly advise that noone make any purchases from this store because the quality of the products aren't even all that great. Defanately stay away from this store and you're just much better off paying a little more but getting better quality and better customer service. By the way, everything was resolved by May...so it ONLY took them two months.

He's back -- and Noonan is setting the agenda
Fine Gael's finance spokesman tells Daniel McConnell the public sector has to be cut down to size to save more than €3bn
Published 01/08/2010 | 05:00
MICHAEL Noonan is no sheep, we all know that. He is his own man and is willing to speak his mind, even if it isn't party policy.
Over the course of two hours on Friday in his native Limerick, I listened as Noonan -- the man most likely to be the next Finance Minister -- laid out his vision for Ireland. Included in that vision is why €3bn in cuts isn't enough; how real poverty has re-emerged in Ireland; why 40,000 public sector jobs should be cut; why further cuts in social welfare are needed; why the bank guarantee and the nationalisation of Anglo were wrong; and why he described Dermot Ahern as a "nasty little man".
Three months ago, Michael Noonan cut a rather solemn figure on the backbenches of Fine Gael. Out of favour and running out the clock, it seemed. Then came his startling revelation about his wife Flor's advanced Alzheimer's disease, which led to her being placed into full-time care.
"In 2007, I asked Enda not to put me on the frontbench, because I had too many duties at home. Neither of us revealed that at the time, so there was speculation that he
had left me off, like there was bitterness. It wasn't like that.
"But since my wife has gone into a nursing home, I have been able to get more active again. I didn't expect to get back onto the frontbench, but after the heave I was asked to do the finance job."
Even though his wife's mobility is all but gone, the mere mention of her name causes him to smile. "She's getting the best of care now," he said.
When asked what he brings to the table in terms of the finance job, Noonan, 67, said he wanted to be minister, but not for any personal advancement, which matters little to him at this stage.
"I would like to get the job, I have been the bridesmaid now a long time. I was opposition finance spokesman against Bertie Ahern, Ray MacSharry and Charlie McCreevy, so I have marked them all at various Budgets.
"Over the years, you learn a lot. I suppose I bring a certain amount of wisdom to it. But I lack all personal ambitions at this stage. Very often ambition gets in the way.
"I am very happy to be a main player within Fine Gael again. I'd certainly like to be a cabinet minister but I'm not gagging for it. I'd like to get the chance and I'd like to do a good job, but it is no longer about the medals and honours any more, I'm not interested in that."
On policy, Noonan also pulls no punches. Contrary to Fine Gael's stated position, he said categorically that the bank guarantee was wrong and nationalising Anglo should never have happened.
"Oh yeah, nationalisation was the wrong decision and the guarantee in September 2008 was the wrong decision.
"When he [Lenihan] nationalised Anglo, he didn't have the full information. The banks hoodwinked him.
"January 2009 was the time for an Anglo wind down and he had an opportunity that time. It was a private bank, there was an opportunity not to pay subordinated debt.
"The hit to the taxpayer wouldn't be there because there was no liability. The creditors would have taken it over and they would have wound it down to their best advantage. They would have taken the hit."
He believes the stated target for Budget cuts of €3bn is the minimum that could and should come out this year. However, he recommends that the reduction be even higher.
"There has to be a restrictive Budget, the Government has no choice, €3bn is a good starting figure but if they could politically -- without impacting on the most vulnerable in society -- they should go further this time."
Noonan said there is no more scope to cut public sector pay, so the only way to get savings is by cutting numbers. He wants 40,000 gone by 2015.
"I thought the Croke Park deal was interesting, but I have a problem with it as well. If you take it at face value and you are looking for savings in the public sector, between now and 2015, the ESRI said there will be 40,000 less public servants, without compulsory redundancies. I'd like to see that delivered and a guarantee that they won't fill the posts again.
"You can only control payroll by cutting pay or cutting numbers. Now the civil servants have already taken pay cuts of between 15-20 per cent, depending on who you believe. That is an awful lot of a cut there and there is no scope for further cuts. and I wouldn't favour any further cuts, but there is room in the numbers," he added.
He said the recession had seen a 16.5 per cent drop in our wealth, compared to the five per cent hit in the UK and three per cent in the US, adding that the recession would leave a "permanent scar" on Ireland.
So, where would he get his €3bn in savings? He said the
emphasis should be on cutting current spending ahead of capital, which he wants to prioritise. Further savings should come from social welfare.
However, any cuts must be fair and protect the most needy, because it is from this area that he is witnessing the return of real and chronic poverty in Ireland. He would leave child benefit alone. "I think there will have to be savings in social welfare numbers. My principles are that cuts must be fair and the most vulnerable must be protected. I see in my area that poverty, real poverty, is re-emerging in Ireland and the people that are hardest hit are the ones with larger families, so I wouldn't go after child benefit.
"I know there is colossal waste across the social welfare system. I think a serious minister who knows the job could make serious savings there."
Last week, Minister Eamon Ryan said he was not in favour of selling semi-states that are performing, comments which Noonan dismissed as ridiculous.
"Yes, I favour privatisation. I don't see any point in holding on to state companies in monopoly situations if the private sector can do it as efficiently or more efficiently -- particularly when we are stretched as we are.
"However, I wouldn't want to sell them off at the bottom of the market and we are at the bottom at the moment. But yes, I do favour privatisation."
He also went further, saying Dublin Airport should be opened up to competition.
"Competition is needed at Dublin Airport and I don't think Cork, Shannon or Belfast are the real competition.You need competition at the airport and a second terminal building run by somebody else gives you that.
"I used to fly in and out of New York JFK quite a lot and you see what they have there. Different airlines operate different terminals and they are leased by the New York Port Authority -- and that's in my view how Dublin should be."
Only a few days before we met, he had raised a few eyebrows when he referred to Justice Minister Dermot Ahern on RTE radio as a "nasty little man".
Explaining his typically strong put down, he said: "What happened was that he is quite combative in his techniques. I was trying to genuinely discuss policy.
"But five times he made it personal on various points, so after that I felt I was entitled to one swing. Some people felt I went too far, maybe I did."
He also came to the defence of Alan Dukes, who he described as a patriot.
"I think he is very hard working and he is very able. I think actually he is patriotic. He proved that the time of the Tallaght Strategy and he's gone in there and he has adopted the same approach.
"He is willing to take the criticism to get the job done. He doesn't need this, he had a lot of irons in the fire, I would have a lot of time for him."
In terms of marking Brian Lenihan, he said it will be difficult because "I like him and respect him". By contrast, he says Brian Cowen's credibility is ruined and cannot be restored.
But he finished with a note of sympathy for his constituency rival Willie O'Dea, for whom he said he has real sympathy after the Greens insisted on their pound of flesh.
"If it was a single-party Fianna Fail government, Willie O'Dea would still be in Cabinet, no doubt, so I do have some sympathy for him."
