My heart goes out to those who are personally impacted by the loss of Ambassador Holbrooke. Those of us who only knew him as a public figure will never be able to comprehend that aspect of his passing though we can certainly appreciate that the world could have used his talents a while longer. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Wed, 17 Nov 2010 05:28:31 +0000 http://www.tellurideinside.com/2010/11/telluride-inside-and-out-in-denver-tesla-and-cool-energy.html#IDComment110192074 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/106583634.html#IDComment107702661 I am trying so hard to follow the arguments here and am failing utterly; perhaps some of the rest of you can help. Maybe it's partly because even people who voted the same did so for different reasons because of differing concerns but if everyone can stop the name calling for a bit, I'd actually be interested in some more detail. We've seen expansion of so-called 'Sin Taxes', yes, and while some have said this creates an inequality for the poor, others (who seem to otherwise not want to see taxes increased) have said go for it. With the divided (and seemingly self-contradictory) views, I say take those off the table for the purpose of this conversation; besides, they mostly don't affect me anyway. Gas taxes have certainly been hiked over the years, but those are all allocated toward transportation line items, so we're not talking about those either. State sales tax hasn't increased in more than 20 years (1983). So exactly what State taxes are you paying that are more than they used to be? I am probably paying increased property taxes today, but not really by that much and those actually would have gone down if I-1098 had passed. I've seen and heard a lot of concerns over increased State taxes, so I'm just wondering which increases are so much on people's minds that they have such a significant distrust in the people they elected. I try to pay attention, but clearly I'm missing something.

Not quite as experienced as she and her family thought she was or as prepared as she could have (or should have) been, but plenty sound mentally, from all I've read, and certainly did the best she could with what she had.

Sounds like a wonderful evening!

For a few brief weeks, we were all truly united as one. I believe now as I believed then that this coming together with compassion and love in the face of fear and anger and hatred is what will make the difference between victoriously living good and happy lives or continuing down the rat-hole of tearing each other apart, shred by shred.

For good for ill, each of the characters and the various degrees of humanity they represent are excellent material to reflect upon and discuss with others, young and old alike. My thinking is that everyone should see Merchant of Venice in as many different productions to see as many different interpretations as possible. Kudos to Berrier for providing such an incredible opportunity!

But as he says - when you're used to flying a big airplane, driving a car is a piece of cake! Happy Birthday, Grandy!

Then again, nearly anything involving be outdoors in Telluride would be. If it was about how much you found/caught, I'd have given up fishing long ago - like, maybe age 7! :) (sorry, couldn't resist!)

Guess who that usually is - and guess who that means is left holding the bag that's supposed to contain the money for groceries? In my mind, this is an excellent argument for fixing gender wage disparities (creates more real choices for families) and for finding ways to to make it so that work and family (for both men and women) are not mutually exclusive options. It will take creativity and ingenuity to make it happen, but if we don't, we'll just remain stuck with the same old choices - and again, it's the businesses who suffer as much any individual because they risk losing top talent. Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:02:24 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2010/07/the-discussion-about-the-lack-of-women-in-tech.html#IDComment86991865 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2010/07/the-discussion-about-the-lack-of-women-in-tech.html#IDComment86991041 Paul - the reason we care is because so often they're not really choices at all. Girls are too often siphoned off onto a different path before they even understand they could have it any other way. Or they become fed up with the game (thinking they have no choice but to walk away from it) that men should have walked away from years ago but who think THEY have no other choice than to stick it out. One of the things I've always appreciated about Brad's position is not that we're supposed to be nicer to girls (frankly, I'd be fighting to be the last to take that approach) but rather, business and society win when we make it easier for women to be part of the process - in tech as well as in business - and suffer when we don't. I also believe that far from sacrificing young men in the attempt to establish a more equitable (not necessarily equal) system, the best solutions are those that benefit both. I too am concerned about young men but they at least have the advantage of being considered by most as the de facto standard.

And of course I don't begrudge a single minute of time you spend out in the hills and on the trails. You're writing about it, aren't you?! :) Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:15:31 +0000 http://www.tellurideinside.com/2010/07/can-one-stay-busy-in-telluride.html#IDComment86307378 http://www.komonews.com/news/offbeat/97768929.html#IDComment85084885 Really? KOMO runs hot dog eating instead of a Tour de France crash involving local rider Tyler Ferrar? Disappointing.

They were simply responding to the information they had at the time.
