Rizzo vs Thaler
Economists Mario Rizzo and Richard Thaler debate the proper scope of government in a world with imperfect people and imperfect governments. The interchange ends where this kind of debate ends all too often--with a slippery slope argument, which I rarely find convincing.

reversible aluminum necklace: heart with wings and vegas slot machine
i was searching for something particularly vegas to feature, as the location for my sister's impending, and stumbled across *this* stunning thing. according to sarahlynnedesigns the heart design was inspired by a classic tattoo -- the pendant is hand-sculpted in a method similar to cloisonne enameling and takes three days to glaze (!). it reverses to slot-machine lucky sevens. jackpot!
her other reversible designs are gorgeous as well -- more at sarahlynnedesigns.etsy.com
