    Most softwoods are pretty good. I recommend you start with pine and spruce, then move on to exotics like the larch and cypress.

      Sanity on Ben's part and insanity on Asher's.

              Is it ok to break up a female friend's relationship with a total hipster douche (smokes pipe, revels in cocktail making, shows French new wave films to guests) even though he's Canadian and always extremely nice to me (but not to her)?

                    Then I guess it's ok.

                      Yes. Hipsters can suck my balls. Crush a can of PBR over his head and tell him to write a whiny song about working at Whole Foods when he starts crying.

                          How about some input from you: what's the scuttlebutt about Morgan Stanley? They're advertising in my department, and I sent along a resume. If they make an offer are they still going to be around in 6 months when I'll be able to start? Will they be able to pay back the TARP money in time for the government to not tax me at 90% (assuming my wife is working too instead of doing her PhD we'll be well over 250k)?

                            I'm not in a finance class this semester, so my scuttlebutt isn't what it once was. I'll ask around.

                              I just ordered a copy of Heard on the Street (should be here this week). Some people seem to claim that half of all quant interview questions come almost straight out of it. Have you heard from any quant geeks if that's true? Also, how hard are they? Putnam exam level or somewhat easier?

                              How's the job search going for yourself, by the way?

                                Don't really know. I stopped looking at finance after last September, so I'm not really up on job interview process. There also aren't any real quants at my school, at least at the level you'd be qualified for.

                                Went well. Still need to find something temporary for the summer.
