I'm from the northeast where I could be on the slopes in less than an hour when the skiing bug hit. So, of course, I never skied anywhere else.
But living in Florida now, I have broadened my thinking when it comes to choosing skiing destinations.
Since I have to fly anyway, why not fly west to ski on the deep, powdered snow? I can also bring all of my non-skiing friends, because these days the ski resorts are not just for the skier. Those who prefer the lodge or spa to the slopes will find plenty to do at these winter wonderlands.
In the western states there are a wide variety of ski-towns to choose from. The most popular spots might be located in and around Vail, Colo., where there are a multitude of options for skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and every other winter sport imaginable. Vail is the largest single ski mountain in North America and known worldwide for its awe-inspiring mountain and unmatched amenities. From its miles of groomed trails to its untamed "Back Bowls," Vail has it all and skiers from around the world visit this incredible resort. Although known for its country-club atmosphere, Vail can accommodate any pocketbook from a 10-bedroom designer house on a hill to a modest motel room in town.
Beaver Creek is considered a sister resort to Vail and is located about 10 miles down the valley just above the small town of Avon. It is considered a luxury resort and has many amenities to prove it, such as luxurious accommodations from condos and town homes to the cozy opulence of each room at the five-star hotel. There are even slope-side valets to help you in and out of your skis. This is a resort for guests that want to that extra convenience and luxury. It is quieter than Vail, but you can take a shuttle bus there when you're in the mood for excitement.
In any ski-town you will find accommodations galore - the more desired ones are with the very convenient ski-in/ski-out option. These are usually villas, luxury hotel rooms or chalets that are attached or close to the ski lifts. You put your skis on right outside your door and ski right to the lift and up you go. When you are finished - ski right back, pop them off and in you go to the cozy warmth. No lugging your skis to and from the lifts.
The Village at Beaver Creek sits on either side of a small scenic and secluded valley and has won numerous awards and accolades for its architecture and design. The main village's square, with its cobblestone walkways, sits at the bottom of the Centennial Express chair and connects the large hotels, condos, small lodges, stores, restaurants and bars. The Market Square pedestrian plaza contains more shops, restaurants, and an ice-skating rink - it's the place to be for numerous cultural events from ballet to blues to Broadway shows.
In our agency we get hundreds of travel offers from various hotels and resorts with ski packages not to mention some of the airlines that offer air-inclusive ski packages. Sometimes you get one that really gets your attention, as I have this week. A company that manages luxury homes / condos in Beaver Creek, not only manages the property, they take care of those guests that stay and play here.
Although property management is not new, what they supply to both the owners and the guests that stay here is far beyond management. For the owners they supply all the necessary services to take care of the property as well as 24 hour emergency service and travel assistance. For the guests they offer concierge or butler service including assisting with travel arrangements, activities, restaurant reservations, as well as stocking the home with foods before arrival. They also work closely with the travel agent community, which allows us to make our clients' travel experience extra special. Now this is a vacation.
For 201l this company is offering additional amenities such as free lift tickets, free ski equipment rental, and free night stay if you stay for six nights or longer. Of course all is based on availability at the time of reservation.
Don't forget these vacation homes are not just for winter skiing - spring and summer are beautiful in Colorado as well.

"Sometimes I'll fall asleep and I wake up the next morning and i'm like ... what did I do you know." Jason Robinson has a problem that doctors have just begun to explore. "I am a sleep texter, I am a sleep texter yes."
Jason is a writer, who loves books, but falls asleep with his phone, and sometimes he writes some strange things in the middle of the night.
7 On Your Side's Amy Wood asked if he worries he'll send something really damaging?
"Oh yeah yeah like the other night I was like oh my gosh, my buddy is going to be torn out of frame," Jason said.
Jason is not alone. We've got revealing pictures in the video of story that document case after case of viewers keeping their phones right next to their bed. In a PEW survey 44 percent of cell phone owners say they sleep with their phones right next to them. One of the shots our viewers sent in showed a teenager sound asleep with the phone still in his hand!
Viewers sent in their personal stories of sleep texting too: LIke this Facebook post:
"I sent my boss a text at 3 am once. I charge my phone by the bed, and I guess I woke up, checked the time, and fell back asleep with the phone in my hand. Must have hit the button by mistake. Just glad it was a text and not a call. No telling what he would've heard."
And a friend of Amy's on twitter, revealed in this message - she's done it!
"Went to sleep at midnight. Apparently at 1:30 I sleep texted "Casey Kasem died" to someone. What the heck?! (he is still alive)."
Whether messaging a boss, or sleep texting that a celebrity died, who is still alive, Wilson Smith - the Medical Director at Spartanburg Regional's Sleep Services - says sleep texting can be a threat to your health.
"Yes this is a problem. They've identified it over the last year and it was discussed some at our national sleep meeting recently in Baltimore."
Dr. Smith goes on, "it can disrupt your sleep and lead to poor functioning the next day."
Dr. Smith says texts in the middle of the night, get in the way of sleep.
"How you function the next day is really dependent on the quantity and quality of the sleep you get the night before. A regular bedtime and enough sleep is very important to your long term health."
Dr. Smith says it's not a widespread problem, but it is one you may not realize you have.
"So if you do that and just fall right back to sleep, you will not remember that you have done it because you have to be awake five to six minutes in order to form a memory," said Smith.
Amy asked our sleep texter Jason, if he could guess the fix. "I guess its just put your phone away."
Dr. Smith says it's that simple. "I think that's the lesson for anyone who has this happen, that's the cure, it's pretty simple. Remove the electronics so that you can't inadvertently use it."

This is Minetest, an open-source clone of Minecraft, written on C++ using the Irrlicht engine. It is developed by Perttu "celeron55" Ahola and a number of contributors, and has been in development since October 2010, and it's still being actively developed.
I grabbed a copy to test it out. It really looks like the Minecraft that I used to play, but with a few differences, particularly in crafting recipes and controls. It also have some basic features, such as dynamic lighting, a working multiplayer, and also a simple server-side Mod API.
They also claim that it's 'simple, light, and portable' and it's 'lightweight enough to run on old hardware'. In fact, the FPS really is quite good, unless you count the slight jitter every few seconds or so.
The game has a working Creative mode, with a randomly generated world that is limited to +/-31000 blocks in all directions as of now. They're also planning to add more Survival elements, but there are only a few of them exists as of now.
I can't really tell if this is worth the try or not, but if any of my followers haven't even bought Minecraft for some unknown reasons, playing this might give you a glimpse of what Minecraft looks like.

What's my next move?
May 18, 2012
At a work-life crossroads: 23 years old, college grad, getting laid off, about to get married and buy a house, struggling to find the next job, in school but thinking about going back for more degree(s). Seeking general advice on my next steps.
In March 2011, I graduated with a BA in Political Science with good grades, making Phi Beta Kappa and a couple other academic honors at a decent university. I had intended to go to graduate school for a MLIS, applied to the one school that wouldn't require me to move, and got accepted with a really poor financial aid offer. I felt increasing doubt that this program was the right path for me over the coming months and ultimately decided not to go. I felt hugely relieved when I emailed the school to let them know I wouldn't be attending, and have not regretted that choice since then.
I am getting married to my 25 year old partner in October. We're also in the process of trying to buy a house in our area. He works in tech/programming, and recently got a well-paying job in addition to a lucrative contracting gig, both of which have potential to lead to bigger and better things for him career-wise. Currently he can afford to support both of us indefinitely, and it appears as though his earning potential will only increase. He is smart and extremely talented, and potential employers seem to recognize this.
Through college I worked in a service position in a large hospital to support myself. After graduating and finding myself uncertain about my next move, I transferred to a high patient contact, non-clinical position in the hospital's ER. I immediately loved the fast-paced and unpredictable environment. I've been in this position for about 9 months, and like it so much that I am taking an EMT class with the intention of one day entering paramedic school.
My hospital is laying off about a third of the employees in my department due to a variety of financial problems. Because these lay offs are completely by seniority, I took a voluntary separation package because I would have been laid off had I not. This package will amount to about $5500-6000 before taxes in payments to me within the next month or so. I am released from my job on May 25.
For 3-4 weeks I have been trying desperately to find the next job. I have applied to over 50 positions, the vast majority of which are similar to what I have done in the past or what I do now (though many are in clinic settings and not in emergency or urgent care settings). This generated me 6 interviews. Two of those interviews were this week and I have not heard back, but am not optimistic based on the apparent volume of applicants they received. The rest of the employers passed.
I am increasingly concerned and frustrated by my inability to get a similar entry-level customer service job in a medical setting. This has not been an issue for me when job searching in the past. Each interview has seemed to go very well, to the point of several people hinting that they would be making me an offer, but they have ultimately passed. I suspect many of these jobs are opting for applicants with more extensive experience who will be more likely to stay in the position for years. While this is completely logical and reasonable, I'm not sure how to overcome the perception that I will only stay at the job in question until something better comes along (I have told each employer that I am looking for something permanent, which is true).
I feel that I cannot simply wait until I get my EMT certificate (in June) to look for a job in that field, because those jobs are excessively competitive in my area. While I will be (and am) looking for opportunities in that field, I don't feel like I can count on something working out right away. I am hoping/planning to start volunteering soon after I get my certificate, which is easier to break into, so I will hopefully be able to start gaining experience and improving my skills in that way.
My fiance and I have somewhat discussed the possibility of me going back to school if I can't find a job. He told me he thought I should go to medical school a couple months ago. He isn't really and hasn't been on board with me being an EMT; he doesn't like the element of danger sometimes involved and feels like it's a waste of my academic abilities. He doesn't understand why I would choose to do that when I could do something requiring more skill and presenting more challenging. I think he is selling that career path very short, but at the same time it is true that the EMT class is not an intellectual challenge and EMT level-care involves much less than I thought it would.
I'm somewhat interested in the possibility of going back to school to start a pre-med track. I would be very interested in it if it weren't for the fact that I'm concerned about the impact the years of study and potential moves required on the rest of my life. I'm sort of scared I will start down that path and wind up unable to finish with large amounts of debt accrued (I currently have no debt of any kind) and/or that the huge commitment will put a lot of strain on my relationship. My fiance says he would support me emotionally and financially if that's really what I want to do, but I'm just very intimidated by everything required at the moment.
I'm in contact with my former university's advising department to set up an appointment to ask a lot of questions about options for going back.
I also do freelance Spanish/English translating and interpreting, and made $5k or so before taxes in the 8 months I did this full time last year, but I don't want to do this as my primary career for a variety of reasons. My language abilities have generated some interest from potential employers, but evidently not enough to tip the skills in my favor.
So, MeFites, I'm looking for advice from the older and wiser (or just wiser, as the case may be), on how to sort out these issues. I'm not sure how to approach making decisions on all these things right now. Do I need to just work on getting the next job right now? And what if I continue working this hard on applications and still don't have a job in 6 months? Should I seriously consider going back to school for premed? Should I throw all my energy into looking for EMT positions and hoping I find something against the odds? Is there some other way I should be thinking about this whole thing?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Why don't you continue with your plans to become an EMT if you like that job, and find a survival job to pay the bills in the meantime. Even though you don't have to pay the rent, survival in this case may mean emotional survival, since your fiance is not particularly happy with your career choice (but it seems to interest you).
At this stage of your life, you really are able to explore different things which in turn may lead to different paths. Being an EMT is by no means a dead end.
Speaking from experience (I had friends where he, a brilliant legal scholar, thought that her job as a pharmacy clerk was unsuitable, so they broke up), you really want to make sure your fiance is supportive emotionally. If he is not, you need to have that survival job to reassure yourself that you are paying your way - he won't be able to use his support as leverage against your dreams.

It sounds like working in medicine in some way does interest you, right? You said that EMT level care involves less than you thought it would, and that if finance and years of study weren't an issue, you'd be very interested in pre-med. Have you considered nursing? Even a 4 year BScN is shorter than med school, and there are post-baccalaureate programs that may be as little as 2 years long. I've discovered that there are more opportunities for nurses than you might think--like management work, or work as a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, etc. etc.
I'm in a similar place to you in some ways (so not wiser at all, and only slightly older). I worked in a medical clinic for about three years, and surprised myself by loving it and wanting to continue to work in health care in some way. I'm planning to go back to school next year and nursing is one thing I'm considering. I've taken an evening anatomy course and done some other things to explore the specific field I'm interested in. (The equivalent, basically, of EMT for emergent care work.) In the meantime I've been working as a temp. So I haven't got this sorted out either, but what's worked for me so far:
Explore possibilities that might not have occured to you before in the career area you're thinking about.
Get yourself employed in the short term, even if that means temping.
Do whatever you can to get your feet wet. (Sounds like, with the EMT and the plans to volunteer, you are already on top of this.)
Good luck! I think we're in a pretty typical early/mid 20s state, and it's probably something that will pass. And if you ever feel the need for a quarterlife crisis buddy, MeMail me!

I did EMT 1 in a semester as a 17 year-old High School Senior. It's not challenging. It is dangerous and not very well-paying (unless you want to also be a fire-fighter, in which case, bonzai!!!!)
If you like working in a medical arena, and you don't want to go through years of school (and I totally support that idea) then look into Nursing, Physical, Occupational Therapy, X-ray technician, Ultra-sound, etc. Most of these are offered through Community Colleges at very fair prices.
If you really like Nursing, and want to do doctor type stuff, you can then go to Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Practitioner. All the money of a doctor, without the crippling student loan debt.
Keep hacking away. The job market sucks for a lot of folks right now. Broaden your pool, have you thought about Pharmaceutical Sales? Or just working for a pharmaceutical company? That's an interesting career path too.

I think you're in a terrific position to go into a career in health care. Health care is big, and it's not an MD or nothing. There are a bunch of nurses around here (on metafilter) who do interesting and important work -- and my first thought was that you should get your nursing prerequisites taken care of while you do EMT volunteering. You should be able to do the prereqs in two or three semesters, and many community colleges offer nursing programs for not too much debt. Being an EMT and having hospital experience puts you in a good position to get a job once you got your RN.
I'm leery of all the med school debt you'll accrue, as well as the years of school. If you like patient contact, take anatomy and physiology, do the EMT stuff, and keep applying for jobs. I think your future sounds bright.
Agree with KokuRyu that your soon-to-be husband needs to get on board with figuring out how to support you, and what that will entail, financially and emotionally. If you think what you're doing is interesting, it's not a waste of your brain.

I'm somewhat in the same boat (minus the engaged part), and though I don't feel particularly qualified to give advice, I wanted to empathize with you and give some feedback anyway.
I agree with KokuRyu - focus on finding a job while you finish obtaining your EMT certificate. The EMT course would not only keep you occupied, but I assure you, it will prove beneficial regardless of whether you choose to enter a pre-med program. Being an EMT speaks volumes about your ability to work under pressure, and that will stand out on your resume.
I hesitate to encourage you to take pre-med courses because it sounds a little like your boyfriend's disapproval of EMT work is part of why you're considering that path. Like other posters mentioned, there are other careers in health care that involve a high-paced environment and patient contact. Nursing sounds like a good fit for you (I say that as someone who nursing ISN'T a good fit for, haha) but also consider respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiology, or ultrasonography; with your experiences in health care so far, you'd be a strong candidate for any of those programs. You'd most likely have to take pre-reqs no matter which the track you follow, but make sure to get some volunteering or shadowing experiences to test the waters a bit.
Lastly, I hope that your fiance learns to support you unconditionally, because it's a little alarming that he seems to think being an EMT is below you even though that's something you're genuinely interested in. Your satisfaction with the work you choose to do or pursue is the priority here.

By the way, I hope the last part of my comment didn't come across as overly critical of your fiance; as a fellow 20-something who is trying to change careers and find her way in this shitty economy, I get frustrated with people who seem to think they're in a position to judge my actions or decisions, and from what you describe, it seems like he's doing that. My point is, he needs to be on your side during such a confusing time in your life, and his support shouldn't come with a caveat (ex. that you should be pursuing work that is more intellectually challenging).

I was definitely thinking as I read your post that you sound like a
nurse practitioner, but if you want to be a doctor, be a doctor. 23 is absolutely not too late or anything. You're a BABY. Don't let yourself feel like because your personal life is settled (house, engagement), your career has to be equally settled.

Is paramedic training out? I get the impression their scope of practice is quite a bit broader than that of an EMT.
I've been reading that the job market for nurses is actually pretty tight these days, a change from the nurse shortage of a few years ago. It might be different if you weren't set on clinical nursing. Also, advanced practice nurses may have a bigger role as the health care market changes, so it may be worth going in with that end in mind. Similarly, perhaps being a PA would give you the medical action you like without the life-sucking elements of committing to medical school.
Lots and lots of docs are bitter about the practice environment these days. Make sure you have a plan and realistic expectations if you go that route.

I personally wouldn't tell anyone to go to medical school right now. Unless you are the type that knew since you were a child that you wanted to be a physician- it sounds like you aren't, it will likely be a long slog for more and more headaches. There are lots of great jobs in health care that don't involve being a doc. Someone as young as you, look into physician assistants. They get to do a lot of the things that make my job cool without the same level of responsibility, both emotional and financial. The hours are predictable and the pay is pretty good. Nurse practitioners have a similar scope of practice but the time involved to become one is significantly more. Both tracks are becoming increasingly competitive but it sounds like you are a reasonable candidate.

I don't know that anyone has touched on this yet so i'll put it out there. The best economic models assume that labor is mobile. If you want a job in the medical field and there aren't many jobs available in your area than you need to consider moving to a different area where the job outlook is better or taking a different job in your area.

I'm returning 12 hours later to say that I think I sounded too harsh about your fiance. I'm sure he's a swell guy and thinks you're too smart for EMT stuff in a totally flattering way.
My understanding about PA programs (and even nursing) is that actual experience in a health field is like gold. The programs are concerned about letting people in who look good on paper but don't want to actually, you know, deal with sick or old people.

First: Sort out why you feel entitled to a job for life.
Have you considered becoming a Physician Assistant instead of an EMT? It is an 18 month programme and pays very well into the future. You will be able to do much of what a doctor does and will probably get more pay for better work and travel in the future.
On the house front, don't buy a house. I would also take a breather from job-hunting until you have taken a real look at every kind of medical programme, including EMT and decide what to apply for and make an application. Focus on looking for work that will bring you there.

I just wanted to chime in and say that you shouldn't buy a house yet. Basically everything about your situation points to that being an unwise decision at the moment. Leave as many options open as possible for the next couple of years, at least until you're settled into married life. There is nothing to be gained from rushing into big financial commitments when you are, as others have pointed out, SO young with so many options and your whole life ahead of you! In particular, don't let your partner pressure you into commitments (house, med school) that you're not comfortable with.
Also, some more general advice: be prepared for a possibly challenging next couple of years, and try not to let it phase you. The early- to mid-20's are kind of uncomfortable and nerve-wracking for most everyone, I'd say (actually, my entire 20's were like that). Have confidence in yourself and remember that it will get easier, and that you're NOT expected to have everything all sorted out by the time you're 25 or even 30.

WARREN, Ohio - The Trumbull County Engineer is considering hiring someone to oversee all shale related road use issues.
Randy Smith says several of the communities throughout the county have approached him asking if his office could monitor the oil and gas companies to make sure they're taking care of the roads they use.
Smith says if the communities are willing to pitch in, his office, will pay half the cost of hiring someone.
"Based on current staffing levels, we know that would be a challenge to do to the amount that we believe it needs to be done, so we're going to ask the communities to contribute an amount of money in order to be put towards a well coordinator," Smith said.
The total cost of hiring someone, including salary, a vehicle, gas, benefits, and supplies, will be around 80- thousand dollars.

Fiscal policy
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2009)
|Part of a series on Government
|Public finance
In economics and political science, fiscal policy is the use of government revenue collection (taxation) and expenditure (spending) to influence the economy.[1] The two main instruments of fiscal policy are changes in the level and composition of taxation and government spending in various sectors. These changes can affect the following macroeconomic variables in an economy:
Fiscal policy refers to the use of the government budget to influence economic activity.
The three main stances of fiscal policy are:
However, these definitions can be misleading because, even with no changes in spending or tax laws at all, cyclic fluctuations of the economy cause cyclic fluctuations of tax revenues and of some types of government spending, altering the deficit situation; these are not considered to be policy changes. Therefore, for purposes of the above definitions, "government spending" and "tax revenue" are normally replaced by "cyclically adjusted government spending" and "cyclically adjusted tax revenue". Thus, for example, a government budget that is balanced over the course of the business cycle is considered to represent a neutral fiscal policy stance.
Governments spend money on a wide variety of things, from the military and police to services like education and healthcare, as well as transfer payments such as welfare benefits. This expenditure can be funded in a number of different ways:
A fiscal deficit is often funded by issuing bonds, like treasury bills or consols and gilt-edged securities. These pay interest, either for a fixed period or indefinitely. If the interest and capital requirements are too large, a nation may default on its debts, usually to foreign creditors. Public debt or borrowing refers to the government borrowing from the public.
A fiscal surplus is often saved for future use, and may be invested in either local currency or any financial instrument that may be traded later once resources are needed; notice, additional debt is not needed. For this to happen, the marginal propensity to save needs to be strictly positive.
Governments use fiscal policy to influence the level of aggregate demand in the economy, in an effort to achieve economic objectives of price stability, full employment, and economic growth. Keynesian economics suggests that increasing government spending and decreasing tax rates are the best ways to stimulate aggregate demand, and decreasing spending & increasing taxes after the economic boom begins. Keynesians argue this method be used in times of recession or low economic activity as an essential tool for building the framework for strong economic growth and working towards full employment. In theory, the resulting deficits would be paid for by an expanded economy during the boom that would follow; this was the reasoning behind the New Deal.
Governments can use a budget surplus to do two things: to slow the pace of strong economic growth, and to stabilize prices when inflation is too high. Keynesian theory posits that removing spending from the economy will reduce levels of aggregate demand and contract the economy, thus stabilizing prices.
But economists still debate the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus. The argument mostly centers on crowding out: whether government borrowing leads to higher interest rates that may offset the stimulative impact of spending. When the government runs a budget deficit, funds will need to come from public borrowing (the issue of government bonds), overseas borrowing, or monetizing the debt. When governments fund a deficit with the issuing of government bonds, interest rates can increase across the market, because government borrowing creates higher demand for credit in the financial markets. This causes a lower aggregate demand for goods and services, contrary to the objective of a fiscal stimulus. Neoclassical economists generally emphasize crowding out while Keynesians argue that fiscal policy can still be effective especially in a liquidity trap where, they argue, crowding out is minimal. [2]
Some classical and neoclassical economists argue that crowding out completely negates any fiscal stimulus; this is known as the Treasury View[citation needed], which Keynesian economics rejects. The Treasury View refers to the theoretical positions of classical economists in the British Treasury, who opposed Keynes' call in the 1930s for fiscal stimulus. The same general argument has been repeated by some neoclassical economists up to the present.
In the classical view, the expansionary fiscal policy also decreases net exports, which has a mitigating effect on national output and income. When government borrowing increases interest rates it attracts foreign capital from foreign investors. This is because, all other things being equal, the bonds issued from a country executing expansionary fiscal policy now offer a higher rate of return. In other words, companies wanting to finance projects must compete with their government for capital so they offer higher rates of return. To purchase bonds originating from a certain country, foreign investors must obtain that country's currency. Therefore, when foreign capital flows into the country undergoing fiscal expansion, demand for that country's currency increases. The increased demand causes that country's currency to appreciate. Once the currency appreciates, goods originating from that country now cost more to foreigners than they did before and foreign goods now cost less than they did before. Consequently, exports decrease and imports increase.[3]
Other possible problems with fiscal stimulus include the time lag between the implementation of the policy and detectable effects in the economy, and inflationary effects driven by increased demand. In theory, fiscal stimulus does not cause inflation when it uses resources that would have otherwise been idle. For instance, if a fiscal stimulus employs a worker who otherwise would have been unemployed, there is no inflationary effect; however, if the stimulus employs a worker who otherwise would have had a job, the stimulus is increasing labor demand while labor supply remains fixed, leading to wage inflation and therefore price inflation.
The concept of a fiscal straitjacket is a general economic principle that suggests strict constraints on government spending and public sector borrowing, to limit or regulate the budget deficit over a time period. The term probably originated from the definition of straitjacket (anything that severely confines, constricts, or hinders).[4] Various states in the United States have various forms of self-imposed fiscal straitjackets.

Thanks -- I sent a very low-key letter, saying that I'd recently run into one childhood friend by chance, and "it was so fun I decided to track down some other childhood friends; and if you're the right guy, your brother is one of them. If you are indeed the right guy, here's my contact info to pass on to him; if you're not the right guy, then than you for taking the time to read this!" I sent that out in yesterday's mail, so we'll see...posted by jessamyn at 2:52 PM on September 27, 2011 [2 favorites]
A few people in here asked if the person I'm looking for is on Facebook; unfortunately, I've turned up a lot of other people that share his name but AREN'T him on Facebook (unless he switched his nationality or DNA, or QUADRUPLED his age).
Those of you who felt this was a little "stalkerish:" I think you had a point, although that was probably resolved by this being a "tracking down childhood friends" thing. And: I've braced myself for finding out he's married/dead/taken/doesn't want to talk to me; honestly, the reaction I had to those what-ifs was 'well, at least I'd know, and that'd still be good.'
Thanks -- if this resolves with a REALLY good outcome, I will not only update you, I will unmask myself.

Mark Miller has decided to step down from his post as Senate Democratic leader.
Miller's office issued a statement Wednesday saying he plans to quit his post when the current legislative session ends in December.
The Monona Democrat ran unopposed in Tuesday's elections. The statement doesn't say why he chose to quit his leadership position and his spokeswoman didn't immediately return telephone messages.
Miller served as Senate Democrats' leader when they fled the state in 2011 to protest Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious law that strip most public workers of nearly all their union rights. He helped Democrats seize the Senate majority last June in recall elections stemming from the union law fight.
Republicans took the chamber back in Tuesday's elections, though.

OpenGL a growing concern
May 25, 2007
In an interview with Nvidia's Roy 'The Boy' 'Terrific' Taylor, SplashDamage, developers of the upcoming FPS Quake Wars, let on that they think DX10 will get a run for its money. Since the Khronos Group took over the running of the OpenGL Architecture Review Board last Autumn, they have managed to get chip-makers like Nvidia to open up DX10-esque hardware features in the OpenGL system. "The extension mechanism has also allowed manufacturers of high end cards to gracefully expose DirectX 10 features on Windows XP," Splash said. "OpenGL is still the only viable 3D solution for cross-platform development on the PC," we are told, and that includes XP, Vista, Linux and OSX.

It came to my attention after last week's article that the average College Humor reader""or the average male friend who was forced to read my first column on pain of death""is celebrity illiterate.
I understand that not everyone needs an IV of VH1 to make it through the day, but I was shocked and saddened to learn how many people have never even heard of Hilary Duff or Sienna Miller. The fact that Kristin Cavalleri is not a household name verges on scandal. I will not be deterred, however; like a prophet from the mount, I am determined to spread the good word to those in need. God may be dead, my friends, but celebrities are not.
To remedy the situation, I would like to take some time for a basic Who's Who in the gossip world, glossing the crucial names and events for your future reference. This may be repetitive for some of you, but I ask you to be patient and play along. We're sitting at the welcome table, and we need to make room for everyone. So:
Celebrities You Should Know, and Why
Angelina Jolie : There is a hierarchy in the world of famous people, and Angelina is on top of it, alone, sitting on a throne reserved for women so blindingly attractive that heterosexual women everywhere would immediately change teams for a chance to count her tattoos. She also works as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N., adopts children from poor places, and may have had something to do with the break-up of Brad and Jen.
Brad Pitt: Dumped Jen for Angie, creating "Brangelina." Very hot but otherwise expendable.
Jennifer Aniston: The triumph of mediocrity, "Jen" represents what a large-nosed person can achieve with a good trainer, a good stylist, a good make-up artist, and good PR. She starred on Friends for a while , which I'll admit I watched, but only with the proviso that I was in middle school and didn't know better. Now that Brad Pitt has dumped her for Angelina, Jennifer is riding an obscenely large and irrational wave of public sympathy while conspicuously fucking Vince Vaughn to prove she's "ok."
Jessica Simpson: Jessica tried to be a singer for a long time, but she sang really cheesy crap that no one liked, so she married Nick Lachey and let MTV follow her around for the reality show Newlyweds. Now that their marriage has earned them enough money, Nick and Jessica are in the process of a divorce. Jessica will likely get screwed in the settlement because she cheated on Nick with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, but she deserves it, because she slept with a member of Maroon 5. Fun fact: Jessica was a virgin until marriage. Funner fact: Jessica believes that anal penetration fits within the definition of "virgin."
Nick Lachey: Jessica Simpson's hop-along husband. Former boyband member. Useless.
Kristin Cavalleri: Kristin clawed her way to fame as an unadulterated bitch on MTV's hit reality series Laguna Beach. She is famous for absolutely no other reason than being herself.
Britney Spears: Britney Spears is the voice of a generation (specifically, mine), and while she's fallen on some hard times, I think we all need to pause for a moment and reflect on the music, the fashion, and the inspiration that Britney has brought into our lives. [pause] These days, Britney goes to the bathroom with bare feet, drives a minivan with her infant son sitting in her lap, and caters to the needs of her trashy back-up dancer husband (name: Kevin Federline). She is not pregnant. She just looks like it.
Katie Holmes (of TomKat) : Katie Holmes used to be Joey Potter, the extremely neurotic and squinty eyed heroine of Dawson's Creek. Now she is a mute pawn in Tom Cruise's game to prove once and for all that he is a) straight b) sane c) of a real man's stature. Katie is slated to give birth to Tom's extraterrestrial freak child any day now.
Tom Cruise (also of TomKat) : Mutant. Crazy. Scientologist. Gay.
Lindsay Lohan: Lindsay can't go a week without accidentally exposing herself or being photographed in the presence of drugs. She acts, I think, but for the most part she is devoted to blow, throwing herself at much-older men, and calling Scarlett Johannson a cunt via bathroom graffiti.
Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie: Two for the price of one! Heiresses extraordinaire, Paris and Nicole starred on The Simple Life together. Then Nicole went rexi, Paris got insecure, and the World's Greatest Catfight began. Also, Paris made that sex tape once. Just in case you actually do live under a rock.
Sienna Miller: London's fashion icon, Sienna pioneered "boho-chic," which is why all those girls you know are wearing flowy skits and ugly boots.
Jude Law cheated on her with his nanny, which was a really fucking stupid move, because the nanny wasn't very cute, and Sienna is perfect.
Hilary Duff: Once the perky star of Disney's Lizzie Maguire, Hilary has blossomed into a delightful and talented young woman responsible for the Laguna Beach theme song "Come Clean." I want to be her friend. In case you know her and can make that happen.
I could go on, but now that our variables are defined, you all should be ready to brave the wilds of mainstream gossip. We'll take you out for a spin next week and see how you do""the TomKat beast should be loose by then, and there will be plenty to discuss. Until then, study hard, and let me know if you find a picture of Lindsay's left nipple. It's the only body part we're missing.

LUDLOW, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 08: In this photo illustration sales assistant Sandra Stewardson wraps gift boxes of chocolates in her shop giftsandchocolates.com in the rural town of Ludlow in Shropshire on December 8, 2011 in Ludlow, England. With a weak outlook at the start of the Christmas shopping boom, many retailers are slashing prices with the hopes of combating poor sales. (Photo illustration by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
As you certainly know, daily deals websites, such as Groupon, LivingSocial, and Woot, offer merchandise and services at greatly discounted prices. The deals and prices shift every day, which can add excitement to the shopping experience as you search for the perfect gift. By taking a few precautions and doing a little preparation, you may discover that daily deal sites can be your best shopping option -- for the holidays and for everyday items. Here's how.
1. Stay Organized Subscribe to the daily deal websites of your choice, and you will be able to shop from your inbox. Each email you receive will list deal details in the subject line. That way you don't need to open every email to determine whether you're interested in the offer, which is a convenient time-saver.
You can also use a daily deal aggregator, such as Yipit or The Dealmap, which collects special offers from a variety of daily deal websites and emails you the most relevant ones based on your interests and location.
2. Do Your Homework Be sure to research group-buying daily deals sites regarding shipping options, terms and conditions, and return policies, as they vary from site to site. Some daily deal websites have extremely limited return policies, or no return policy at all. LivingSocial, for example, only accepts a returned voucher within five days of its purchase, and the process is even more daunting with Groupon or Half Off Depot as the buyer must contact the customer-service department and explain why the voucher cannot be used.
Also, don't just take the website's word that the offer is indeed a good deal. If it's marked up by 70 percent, only to knock 50 percent off the inflated price, it's obviously not a bargain!
3. Stick to Your List Say "no" to impulse buys! Don't fall in love with an item just because you can buy it for a fantastic price. Make sure it's a great buy for someone on your holiday shopping list -- or for yourself.
4. Don't Fall for Phony Expiration Dates on Vouchers Although websites that sell vouchers, like Groupon and Half Off Depot, advertise their deals as being good for only 24 hours, you can often purchase the coupon as late as a day beyond the so-called expiration date.
On the other hand, merchandise websites, such as Woot, tend to be true to their "one-day only" qualifiers, though there have been instances where I've purchased items after the 24-hour window closed.
Ultimately, it's important to not feel pressured by any supposed time constraints. Take your time and be certain that you're receiving a great deal on a product you really want.
5. Avoid Shady Websites If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Don't fall for a scam website! Always make sure that "https://" appears in the URL or that the site you purchase from has the appropriate security certificates displayed in your web browser

Distributional impact analysis of the energy price reform in Turkey
AbstractA pricing reform in Turkey increased the residential electricity tariff by more than 50 percent in 2008. The reform, aimed at encouraging energy efficiency and private investment, sparked considerable policy debate about its potential impact on household welfare. This paper estimates a short-run residential electricity demand function for evaluating the distributional consequences of the tariff reform. The model allows heterogeneity in household price sensitivities and is estimated using a national sample of 18,671 Turkish households. The model also addresses the common problem of missing data in survey research. The study reveals a highly skewed distribution of price elasticities in the population, with rich households three times more responsive in adjusting consumption to price changes than the poor. This is most likely because the poor are close to their minimum electricity consumption levels and have fewer coping options. In addition, the welfare loss of the poorest quintile -- measured by the consumer surplus change as a percentage of income -- is 2.9 times of that of the wealthiest.

It's about that time for a challenge. But what oh what shall it be? Hair? Food? Exercise? Pole? Sewing?
If its one thing I'm learning about being in Bali, it's that you should never get TOO comfortable. Shake it up. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to get rid of the past relationships you've had or end situations that you've created, it just means that you have to add new challenges to your life. That can come in the form of people, a location or task. Just don't get comfortable. It's time for a change!!!
1. The world is trying to keep you stupid. From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness.
2. Do not have faith in institutions to educate you. By the time they build the curriculum, it's likely that the system is outdated– sometimes utterly broken. You both learn and get respect from people worth getting it from by leading and doing, not by following.
3. Read as much as you can. Learn to speed read with high retention. Emerson Spartz taught me this while I was at a Summit Series event. If he reads 2-3 books a week, you can read one.
4. Connect with everyone, all the time. Be genuine about it. Learn to find something you like in each person, and then speak to that thing.
5. Don't waste time being shy. Shyness is the belief that your emotions should be the arbitrators of your decision making process when the opposite is actually true.
6. If you feel weird about something during a relationship, that's usually what you end up breaking up over.
7. Have as much contact as possible with older people. Personally, I met people at Podcamps. My friend Greg, at the age of 13, met his first future employer sitting next to him on a plane. The reason this is so valuable is because people your age don't usually have the decision-making ability to help you very much. Also they know almost everything you will learn later, so ask them.
8. Find people that are cooler than you and hang out with them too. This and the corollary are both important: "don't attempt to be average inside your group. Continuously attempt to be cooler than them (by doing cooler things, being more laid back, accepting, ambitious, etc.)."
9. You will become more conservative over time. This is just a fact. Those you surround yourself with create a kind of "bubble" that pushes you to support the status quo. For this reason, you need to do your craziest stuff NOW. Later on, you'll become too afraid. Trust me.
10. Reduce all expenses as much as possible. I mean it. This creates a safety net that will allow you to do the crazier shit I mentioned above.
11. Instead of getting status through objects (which provide only temporary boosts), do it through experiences. In other words, a trip to Paris is a better choice than a new wardrobe. Studies show this also boosts happiness.
12. While you are living on the cheap, solve the money problem. Use the internet, because it's like a cool little machine that helps you do your bidding. If you are currently living paycheck to paycheck, extend that to three weeks instead of two. Then, as you get better, you can think a month ahead, then three months, then six, and finally a year ahead. (The goal is to get to a point where you are thinking 5 years ahead.)
13. Learn to program.
14. Get a six-pack (or get thin, whatever your goal is) while you are young. Your hormones are in a better place to help you do this at a younger age. Don't waste this opportunity, trust me.
15. Learn to cook. This will make everything much easier and it turns food from a chore + expensive habit into a pleasant + frugal one. I'm a big Jamie Oliver fan, but whatever you like is fine.
16. Sleep well. This and cooking will help with the six pack. If you think "I can sleep when I'm dead" or "I have too much to do to sleep," I have news for you: you are INEFFICIENT, and sleep deprivation isn't helping.
17. Get a reminder app for everything.Do not trust your own brain for your memory. Do not trust it for what you "feel like" you should be doing. Trust only the reminder app. I use RE.minder and Action Method.
18. Choose something huge to do, as well as allowing the waves of opportunity to help you along. If you don't set goals, some stuff may happen, but if you do choose, lots more will.
19. Get known for one thing. Spend like 5 years doing it instead of flopping around all over the place. If you want to shift afterwards, go ahead. Like I said, choose something.
20. Don't try to "fix" anyone. Instead, look for someone who isn't broken.
