I would like to know more about the people here. What have you done and what do you plan to do. Producer isn't a light title to carry.

Myself I live in a po-dunk little town that is trying to make it with the major metropolitan areas. They believe youth will pave the way, as far as I can tell our "youth" haven't done a damn thing. They are the people that sit in the meetings with the great ideas and do nothing about it.

I want to create events, they probably won't put us on the map but they will be events. No donating for a cause but people going out spending their hard earned evening for a memorable evening.

    The Nordic Club is the place to start. A sportman's club second. Some clubs were doing Summer Biathlon. This combines running and shooting.

    I am sure we do, we seem to have a club for everything around here. Haven't heard of that one though, all I know of is the Nordic Club.

    I'm a nurse practitioner. I work in a Neurology clinic. I enjoy it immensely. I try to use every patient encounter as an opportunity to educate and empower. I despise our dependent, "vitctim oriented" culture and try to teach patients that they are responsible for their actions and their health with me as their coach and cheerleader (not their miracle worker or pill pusher). I'm raising two beautiful children to believe in their own power to shape their world. I'm teaching them to learn and live independently. We grow a lot of our own food, the children help. What we can't grow, we hunt. Not that I'm opposed to grocery stores, I'm just a firm believer in self-sufficiency and sustainability. I'm passing that on to my children. I'm actively engaged in local politics. Currently I'm serving on my county's Republican Executive Committee and Republican Women group. I don't consider myself Republican per se, but my county is heavily Republican and I'm using my positions to try to convince them that we shouldn't support and elect every politician that comes through with an "R" by his name. Too many good old boys in our county and not enough free thinkers willing to truly evaluate the candidates. I'm also serving as President for my local nurses association. Which is a community service organization. This group is my outlet for charity work. In this manner, I know that each project we become involved in is charity I believe in. For instance, we find local families that have encountered hardships outside their control and provide them with assistance they need. Christmas for their children, Thanksgiving dinner, clothing and toiletries after fires, etc. I've found "donating money" to large organizations to be less satisfying and you never know where the money really goes. So we do all the work on our own and raise the money ourselves or donate it from our pockets. We also do a lot of community education projects, which are my favorite. Nothing more satisfying than empowering others with knowledge and self-confidence! Currently we're focusing on childhood obesity and diet education classes for patients with diabetes, heart disease, strokes, etc.

    Was involved with WA ST Biathalon for a while. Nice people, well behaved, not big spenders. Perhaps you could do a local event. WY may have an association.

    I translate German literature from 1890's to 1920's, most of which is in the process of being forgotten. Prior to world war I Vienna was the cultural capital of the world, 1896 saw the world fair and the first Nobel prizes. World War I should have never happened. I believe that German literature from this era is especially valuable since it is heavily influenced by Nietsche, the concept of human empowerment, and a movement away from religion in the traditional sense of the word. Currently I've translated a few uncensored versions of books by Hanns Heinz Ewers including "Alraune" and "Sorcerer's Apprentice". This is a hobby that I hope to turn into a full time occupation. Hanns Heinz Ewers work was banned by both Nazi Germany and the allies after WWII. In learning the skill of translating I've been self taught and am currently learning how to use Dragon Naturally Speaking voice typing program to increase my productivity. My dream is to be able to translate the German literary and art weekly's "Jugend" and "Simplicissimuss", This is over forty years worth of self empowerment/will to power literature that the world has forgotten. This type of literature simply does not exist in the passive world of today. Ayn Rand and Neo-tech do point the way forward and I am happy to have found this place.

    My job is to make people's dreams come true. I work in the travel industry with both individuals, and with groups as a group travel concierge. I take care of all the details for group travel and things such as destination weddings, reunions, college study abroad trips, etc.

    In my spare time I teach Catechism (2nd grade), teach sacrament preparation for reconciliation and Eucharist, sing in the church choir, and sing in a seperate Gregorian Chant Schola.

    Ah, strawman again. First off doing what you said would be infringing on another's property rights which from anyone's standpoint is doing violence to another. Which no person with rational self interest would do.

    So your translation is invalid and pointless. As usual.

    Yeah I agree it is a great location, but I love where I live. People could do more they just don't. More like a snow park? It isn't very big, only two lifts, one lodge. We do have cross country ski trails that are rated pretty good.

    lol. and I quote:

    "I do not need nor does anyone else need permission to be greedy and self-serving."

    My response was a DIRECT retort to that claim. You don't get to make up definitions for words, even if Rand did. lol.

    I quoted Rand, nothing more. Surely as a devout Randite, you don't intend to profit from another man without doing the work? Since when has asking a question granted you the rights to something another man owns?

    Do the work. It's the moral thing to do.

    Motor sports always have people trying to stop them. The fans can get out of control. I like to ski at local areas. Meeting people that live and work there is more interesting than going to Big Sky MT and meeting people from NYC. Do you have a local ski resort?

    You're making assumptions on the motivations of others and therein lies YOUR self-centeredness. You think your view of other people is correct regardless of what they actually show you.

    Your reply is the definition of a strawman. What you said does not logically follow from what signofadollar said AT ALL.

    Your location looks good. Right along I25 and halfway between I80 and I90. Your town has an Airport. I see a lot of options here.

    Your rhetoric is childish. You have been asked a simple question and can't answer, yet try to shift the moral blame to me for your inability to answer it.

    Sorry getting hungry - I agree motorsports are big. Last summer they brought some dirt bike rally in, half the people went to it the half that didn't complained about it. One of which was my boyfriend, but he had valid reason, he had to deal with their ignorant asses and not knowing how to run a race.
