Nobody Girl asked:
If you are still using them – Why? What are you doing to lower your carbon footprint? I’m only interested in people who believe that humans can effect climate change – If you don’t believe in it then you obviously are not doing anything.
So Eva – you don’t believe the Al Gore and Tom Brokaw hype that we can all make a difference by lowering our carbon footprint? They say that even turning your power strips off (even when all appliances are already off) helps. If they think that helps than Christmas lights and fireplaces would make a huge difference. Obviously not one person doing it, but if everyone who believed in it did that would make a difference
Helmut – why are you so hostile? Carbon footprint is a Brokaw and Gore buzz word – it’s not mine. I’m sure you have heard of abbreviating things – it’s not that hard to figure out. I don’t care if you don’t believe in it and are not doing anything about it anymore than I care if people who don’t believe in Jesus don’t prey to him. There would be no point. I’m only interested in people who believe in it and want to know what they are doing. Doesn’t seem to be too many believers around these parts.

Mike P asked: I’ve noticed at schools here that many of the students of Mexican heritage tend to be “still in Mexico” or “gone” from school for periods ranging from days to weeks after school vacations like Spring Break or Winter Break. (and sometimes the weeks leading into a holiday).
When I went to school it would be unthinkable to miss more than a day or two of school for non-essential matters.
Is this common everywhere in the US or is it just a Nevada thing?
Is it cultural to be more fluid with holiday time etc?

Mrs.Bieber asked:
My family and I are thinking about getting away for Christmas and going to Hawaii for the holidays. We’re not sure about what the weather is like there though. We are looking for somewhere tropical and warm. I would appreciate it very much if someone could help us.

M asked:
Hey I’m looking for a job to do during the winter holidays and/or just part time after school. I really need money so I can take this summer course. I’ve worked as an instructor at a summer camp for 4 years, but I need a job during the year in order to afford the summer course. I’m looking for a good first job, maybe in retail or something? I’m not totally sure, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Please give examples or details, not just links to job finding sites.

Laura asked: There are the obvious ones: Handel’s “Messiah”, Puccini’s “La Boheme”, Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors”, the “Christmas Oratorio” by Saint Saens – even Rimsky Korsakov’s “Christmas Eve” (which actually fits into the category of what I’m looking for). But I am specifically looking for pieces that are not performed often. They can be chamber works (meaning, for orchestra and a few voices – although I suppose quartets and the like would be ok as well), operas (1-acts preferable, but not required), Oratorios, or whatever. I’m not looking for individual pieces so much though.
I seem to recall that there’s a French piece based on the story of the 3 kings? The name escapes me at the moment.
Basically, I’m looking for the rarities. And if you have links to recordings, so much the better.
THANKS!
