What Works: Eight things being alone taught me about business

Alone. Just sit with that word for a bit. Alone. Does it send chills down your spine? Does it induce a little fear? Or, does is speak to you in a different way?

What Works: Honor your past, stay present, and visualize your future

In 2009, I lost my job at Konami Digital Entertainment. It was devastating. I realized my household now had zero income. My husband at the time didn’t have a job, either. He had been looking for a job for months since he quit his job in Dallas to move us to Southern California.

Thoughts on the Republican National Convention

Nearly everyone, it seems, has been focused lately on Donald Trump’s nomination by the Republicans and now the chaos of the Democrat convention. We want to celebrate some other important aspects of the GOP convention (where Ron was a delegate) as reflected in speeches by Paul Ryan, Scott Walker and Mike Pence.

The virtue of silliness in public debate

This is in response to a posting by a frequent contributor:

http://carsonnow.org/reader-content/07/17/2016/northern-nevada-developme...

which is yet again a perfect illustration of the sad fact that if one can't make a sensible argument, one resorts to distortions, insults and just plain silliness. But then that's all that's left when one does not have the facts on one's side.

The Northern Nevada Development Authority (NNDA) and Maurice White Part I

In Mr. White’s recent paranoid screed against the Northern Nevada Development Agency (NNDA) and against his political opponent, Supervisor Brad Bonkowski, is the classic example of the simplistic “argument of incredulity”. His argument is presented as such: “I don’t know anything about the NNDA, but I know it’s a “government agency”, and therefore it is bad”.

Carson City primary candidate Kurt Meyer backs Mayor Bob Crowell

To the Editor:
This November we will choose our Mayor for the next four years. Although I was not selected to move forward to the general election, I am very blessed with a wonderful life and do not regret putting my hat in the ring. I will continue to work hard volunteering for our community and working towards a Carson City that remains a kind and progressive place we all want to live and invest.

I feel there is only one person in the race for Carson City Mayor that shares that common vision and will work with him and stand behind his non-partisan leadership. I ask all of my supporters to stand with me and say “I Like Bob Crowell for Mayor.”

Musings for November 2016 (sponsored)

As a voter like you, I am listening to, viewing, and reading much on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. One is well known in Washington politics and the other also well known but outside the Washington beltway in terms of political experience. Both Clinton and Trump are the presumptive Democratic and Republican candidates for president of the United States respectively. Both have fought very contentious campaigns, Both do not carry a high degree of trust with the American voting public, but for different reasons.

Chris Forbush AD 40 Residency Demystified

Chris Forbush's defense claiming a student exemption allowing him to bypass the physical residency requirements to run for office in NRS 218A.200 is without merit. Simply put, you have to be a student to have a student exemption. But here are the facts that are not in dispute:

*Forbush graduated from college in Utah in April of 2015.
*Upon graduation Forbush ceased to be a student in an academic institution.
*Forbush then took the Utah bar exam (not Nevada bar exam) and successfully passed it and began practicing law in Utah.

Campaign signs latest controversy among Assembly District 40 candidates

Assembly candidate Chris Forbush has filed a complaint with the Carson Sheriff's Office asking it to investigate the disappearance of some of his campaign signs.

What if Assemblyman Ira Hansen has been lying about Chris Forbush?

The biggest question right now is: “Why is Ira Hansen, a sitting Assemblyman from Sparks, going to such lengths to try to make people believe candidate Chris Forbush is ineligible to run for Assembly District 40 in Carson City?” Ira claims it is because he doesn’t want to see Forbush win the primary, but then as the Republican nominee, get thrown off the general election ballot leaving the seat wide open for the Democrat to win. What if that isn’t the reason at all?
