When someone uses the phrase, "I hate to burst your bubble…"
I always think to mySelf, then please don't.
I love blowing bubbles of:
Best Day Ever.
How about you?
Are you a life-lover who blows bubbles any chance you get?
Are you a bubble buster?
I noticed her out of almost 1,000 people at a Brendon Burchard event in Santa Clara, California.
Everything about her expressed an absolute love of life as she led the audience in clapping and dancing.
I never had the chance to speak to her that weekend but three years later the Universe sat her three rows in front of me at a Writer's Workshop in Chicago.
Later, I learned Sherry doesn't just look like she has an absolute love of life.
She is the creator of Simply Celebrate, helping people to celebrate themSelves and the people in their lives.
And, she is a real-life bubble blower!
Hosting bubble flash mobs is just one of the creative ways she suggests on her website that you can celebrate life and spread joy to others.
Sherry is on a mission to turn ordinary days into an extraordinary life and celebration is her practice.
Imagine that.
How would your life feel if celebration was your practice?
If you spread joy to everyone?
If you blew bubbles instead of bursting them?
It's finally summer and the perfect time to start…
Let's practice celebration.
Let's spread some joy.
Let's blow some bubbles.

Tehran received a major blow following the blacklisting of Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury Department after President Donald Trump's October 13th landmark Iran policy speech. This has senior Iranian officials extremely concerned as the regime in its entirety is desperately attempting to cope with the aftermath.
There are those heard struggling to downgrade the impact and save face.
"Sanctions against the IRGC are nothing new… The IRGC is not an economic entity for them to attempt to impact its future through sanctions. The IRGC is a military entity that will negotiate with no one regarding its duties," said Hessam-edin Ashena, an advisor to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to a state daily.
Understanding the importance of U.S. sanctions, Gholamreza Tajgardoon, chairman of the Budget & Planning Commission in Iran's parliament resorted to similar remarks.
"Sanctioning the IRGC will have no impact on the country's economy… U.S. sanctions are an issue of international relations. The IRGC has no role in international economic relations. The IRGC is, however, active in military affairs inside Iran and the region," he also said to state media.
Despite these remarks, and the fact that the IRGC dominates the Iranian economy, merely two days later on October 17th the Vatan-e Emrooz daily, known to be linked to the faction loyal to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, made a major U-turn in a piece titled "Black hole!"
This article shed light on the "unprecedented economic impact and expenses expected through the mother of all sanctions" – a term used by Iranian experts – on the entire regime apparatus.
This piece very explicitly explains the crippling results of new U.S. sanctions for Tehran. The piece, under the subtitle of "The Impact of Economic Sanctions Against The IRGC" explains:
"Despite its initial goal of numerous security objectives across the Middle East and inside Iran, this section of the mother of all sanctions seeks to dysfunction Iran's economy, or as U.S. senators have described, shut down and turn off Iran's economic cycle. Based on the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, first the IRGC and all branches and entities in any way related to the IRGC, alongside all companies cooperating with the IRGC will be designated in the SDN sanctions list."
Furthermore, individuals and entities cooperating in any way with the IRGC must be designated and included in the SDN sanctions list under Executive Order 13224. The scope of these new sanctions will be extreme and far from any expectation under this executive order.
For example, more than 5,000 private companies are cooperating with the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya construction company. Based on Trump's new orders, all these companies are on the verge of being designated in the new list of sanctioned companies.
If Iran's Central Bank or National Bank provides services and facilitations to these companies, and the U.S. State Department identifies this cooperation, these firms will be blacklisted in the SDN list of sanctions by the Treasury Department.
This major economic quagmire before the Iranian regime is the reason this bill is described as the "black hole" of sanctions.
What are we to believe?
On one hand there are claims of the IRGC not being an economic entity for sanctions to impact its future. On the other hand, there are those describing the IRGC blacklisting as a terrorist organization as pinning and shutting down the Iranian regime's economy.
The simple truth is that the new U.S. sanctions against Iran are unprecedented of such plans imposed on a country. These economic and national security measures seek to patch loopholes in the highly flawed Obama-blueprinted Iran nuclear deal.
Following Trump's speech, the Senate responded with a draft legislation proposed by Senators Bob Corker and Tom Cotton set to impose tough terms on the Iran nuclear deal. Sanctions lifted under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal would "snap back" if Iran tests ballistic missile enjoying the capability of delivering a warhead, or prevents nuclear inspectors' access to all sites.
The House of Representatives also adopted four new sets of sanctions. The U.S. government is obliged to sanction individuals and entities facilitating financial resources and recruiting new members for Hezbollah.
Another bill calls on the White House to pressure the United Nations Security Council to level sanctions on Hezbollah for its use of civilians as human shields.
Wednesday's last legislation focusing on the Iran-backed militia was a resolution calling upon the European Union to designate the Tehran offspring as a terrorist organization.
All three pieces bill, not in violation of the Iran nuclear deal, enjoyed bipartisan support with over 320 votes in favor.
The fourth and final bill, voted in nearly unanimously on Thursday with 423 in favor against two, aimed to sanction Iran in response to further developing its ballistic missile program.
Iran, sensing an end nearing to its days of cheating the nuclear deal with impunity, is showing signs of frustration. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has filed 18 instances claiming the U.S. has violated the deal. Analysts believe this could set the stage for Tehran to abandon ship while blaming Washington for the whole ordeal.
Lifting the entire issue to a whole new level, escalating protests by thousands of ordinary Iranians who have invested their savings into state-owned financial institutions are causing grave concerns for the ruling elite in Tehran.
Raising eyebrows is the fact that such protests are evolving politically in nature and gaining coverage among mainstream media.
Fox News' Ben Evansky reported:
"According to a report and video from an Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), there were more than 2,000 people protesting outside the country's parliament, known as the Majlis. The protesters who were accosted by the police shouted slogans against the regime:
"Shame, shame on the police force!"
"Death to the dictator."
"Death to the demagogue."
Welcoming these rallies, Iranian opposition NCRI President Maryam Rajavi hailed the brave protests and called on her fellow countrymen to join in solidarity and express their support.
"Institutionalized fraud along with institutionalized murder and belligerence constitute the pillars of the mullahs' decadent regime… As long as this regime is in power, there will be no end to the astronomical embezzlement, poverty, unemployment and catastrophic economic conditions," she said.
And once again, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson voiced his government's support for the will of the Iranian people.
"There are strong feelings and values inside of Iran that we want to promote in terms of one day the Iranian people being able to retake control of their government," he said during his trip to India.

Pauline Frommer wants to meet you…
And you probably would like to meet her so you can pick up her tips like the all inclusive (ALL! – airfare from USA, hotel, food, tours) week-long tours to China for only US$999, largely made possible because the Chinese government keeps the exchange rate low.
You'll find Pauline Frommer, Editorial Director of the Frommer's Guides and Publisher of Frommers.com at the upcoming Chicago Travel & Adventure Show on January 17 and 18 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.
Why does Pauline Frommer want to meet YOU?
She says, "Either my father or I go to 8 travel shows each year. They are a wonderful opportunity for the traveling public to realize there are real people behind the Frommer's Guide books and that we are dedicated journalists—not just a content machine. We are very opinionated and we are on the travelers' side. Our only client is our reader and we stay bold in our advice. We tell you when airlines are trying to rip you off or when attractions aren't worth your time. Because we go to every hotel in an area we really can tell you which is better.
''At events like the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show our readers can see our passion. Most importantly, it's wonderful to meet the readers because we are discovering questions that we should perhaps answer in our upcoming books. Hearing what travelers have to say helps us create books that are more useful."
Pauline Frommer is just one of the travel industry rock stars that will be making presentations and doing the rounds at the show.
Bestselling author of "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail", Cheryl Strayed, will be talking about her 1,100-mile hike and book that is currently being adapted into a major motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon. Patricia Schultz, best-selling author of "1,000 Places to See Before You Die", the Travel Channel's Samantha Brown, and Peter Greenberg, travel reporter, among others will be at the show sharing inspiring travel stories and tips.
If your travel fun often begins with shopping for the must-have gadgets that will make your trip comfy, you'll probably love the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show's cornucopia of travel accessories ranging from neck props for naps to 22 hidden pocket vests and more.
If you want to take a break from shopping for your dream vacation there will be entertainment at the show's Global Beats Stage, showcasing more than 20 performances through the weekend.
The Taste of Travel Stage will be offering samples from live cooking demonstrations by top chefs.
This should be an exciting time, reflecting trends among US travelers to go out and see the world and now in far more adventurous ways than ever before. Consider for example, that Pauline Frommer's father, Arthur Frommer, is probably most responsible for first putting world travel on the radar of many middle class families in America. His classic book, "Europe on Five Dollars a Day" was actually something he wrote from his experiences traveling as a GI when stationed in Europe during the Korean War. At that time he found that his fellow soldiers were curious about his travels but somewhat afraid to venture out on their own. Frommer saw his book as a much needed antidote to that fear of travel.
Update to today's sensibilities and it's clear we've come a long way. Pauline Frommer comments, "We are now seeing adventure travel becoming much more mainstream. More people are going to exotic destinations or doing things like canyoneering or bungee jumps.
"The biggest trend now is away from hotels. Air B&B now has more beds than all of the hotel chains combined. Millions of people are skipping hotels and renting an apartment or rooms at the same cost as a hotel but also with access to a kitchen and often in real neighborhoods. It's not just Air B&B—there's also VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) and the growth of the sharing economy in general. Pirate dinner parties where people open their homes to strangers are another example. Social media and the Internet is turning travel on its head!"
Especially if you are planning a family vacation you probably want to make hearing Pauline Frommer speak and trying to meet her a top goal for your visit to the show. As you can see from her travel pictures with her husband (Mahlon Stewart) and two daughters (Veronica now 15, and Beatrix now 11), the whole world has been their oyster, as the saying goes. Pauline shares, "I have a counterintuitive tip for many people who are terrified of traveling with babies. New parents should definitely take that BIG trip before their child is two when you would need to begin paying their airfare. Then, until your child is six or seven make sure you take trips where you want to go, until the children are able to do things separately. For example you can go to Europe easily with a four-year old because you will find things that will fascinate them as much as any theme park. You don't need to budget for kiddie vacations until they are older… And for budget vacations you just can't beat the national parks. "
Where to go this year? There will be no shortage of tour and vacation purveyors at this show. Make it the prelude stop on your next vacation.

If you're just joining our Valentine's Week tribute to love stories that began at camp, be sure to read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
Meet Josh & Rosie Bogard
Josh Bogard has been an overnight camper for 30 years – first as a camper and now as Head Boys Counselor at Iroquois Springs in New York. Every summer as a child, the night before Josh's 8-week adventure, his father repeated these words:
"Be nice to all of the girls because you never know who you'll meet. Remember, I met your mother at camp."
Josh heeded his father's advice. He and Rosie grew up at Camp Poyntelle in Poyntelle, Pennsylvania. They spent their entire childhood and adolescence there, but it wasn't until he was a counselor and she was his division head that they met. (She's three years older than Josh).
Josh says:
"We formed a nice relationship and I quickly fell in love. We started to spend all of our free time together and after two summers realized that we had something special. Our love for camp, passion for working with children and desire to make a difference in other people's lives drew us together. Something had to draw us together because why else would a native Brooklyn girl fall in love with a native Long Island boy in the middle of the woods? We were opposite to say the least but camp is what brought us together." In fact, the two have not been home for a summer since they were 7 years old.
Fast forward 20 years and 2 children later, the two are still highly involved in camp. They currently serve as the Boys and Girls head counselors at Iroquois Springs, where they've been for the past 17 years of their adult lives. "We love helping to shape the lives of the campers and staff on our respective sides of camp," Josh says.
Why is camp a good place to meet your spouse?
"Camp is basically what started everything for us. We both have close to 35 consecutive summers in residential camping and have not been home for a summer since we were seven years old. Our love for camp is what brought us together and is something that we love and keeps us connected.
I think that people who love and understand camp understand the world better, and who better to fall in love with than someone who agrees?
Camp is this magical place where even adults feel like kids. Obviously, the main goal of any summer is for the campers and staff to have the most fun in the safest way possible. We tell our staff that there is something special about camp that connects people in such a tight way in an incredibly short amount of time. Not many other jobs can do this. Many of our best friends have met in camp and have gotten married. We'll be married 10 years in August. It is quite incredible. Camp needs to be part of everyone's life."
Also watching my wife, Rosie, in her element is pretty awesome too. She really is great at what she does and getting to work closely together throughout the summer is something that we love.
We always joke that our kids better love camp because they don't have another option during the summer. They both started camp when they were three months old. Thankfully they enjoy it as much as us.
Here's the part we love the most: The night before their daughter spent her first full summer in a bunk at 7 years old, Josh whispered in her ear at bedtime,
"Be nice to all of the boys because you never know who you are going to meet. Remember, I met your mother in camp."
Next up: A couple who found that the spirit that drew them together at camp was stronger than time and distance apart.

I went to a friends house today with the dogs and she told me AFTER I left my dogs there that there were fleas, but only upstairs where there is carpet. So of course me being the neurotic person I am I feel like I am being covered in bugs! My dogs are getting mad that I am not leaving them alone. They are on flea treatment but they can always bring them home alive if the flea doesnt bite...So now I think I am seeing things...I saw a tiny little bug which in all honesty looked like a fruit fly but I lost it before I could examine it. So of course I am convinced it is a baby flea...AHHH! Thank God I gave the cats a flea treatment this week also.
Of course my friend has 8 dogs (she rescues and I got sasha from her).
So I am off to scrub and burn my skin off in the shower. If you cant tell...I hate creepy crawlies...especially ones that INFEST!!! I need prayers...LOL

Since the beginning of the Georgia legislative session our reporter Chandra Thomas and our supporting JJIE.org staff of editors, interns and freelancers have been closely watching all legislation aimed at juvenile justice issues.
Thomas had two excellent round-up stories yesterday and today targeting which bills would move forward and which would not on crossover day.
I opened my Atlanta Journal-Constitution today to see how its coverage of these juvenile justice bills compared with ours here at the JJIE.org. From what I could see there was nothing to compare. I saw nothing about Senate Bill 127, which is a rewrite of the juvenile code. An issue we covered intensely even before it was introduced into the house. Much to the chagrin of its supporters it will not move forward. We will, in the days to come, analyze why it did not progress.
HB 185, the Runaway Youth Safety Act, which, as Thomas wrote, would have allowed homeless shelters to provide emergency housing and services to runaway children.
The two are among more than a dozen bills, which only the JJIE.org has covered on a persistent basis. This is not a dig at the other media. Dropping circulation and falling advertising revenues mean that cuts have to be made. Since areas like juvenile justice do not translate into big audience returns, their coverage is often the first to go. Which means the public will learn less and less about a system that touches more that 50,000 kids a year and thousands of state employees whose jobs are related to the various aspects of juvenile justice from safety to victimization to incarceration to deprivation.
It's the mission of the Center for Sustainable Journalism to find ways to sustain niche journalism areas like juvenile justice. Why? Because it is obvious if we don't cover them no one else will.
However, in the long run we can't do it alone. We will need support. We know several thousand people, just like you, care about these issues and visit the JJIE.org to keep informed. The first step is for you to please sign up for our newsletter. Or supply us with story tips. Or write for our opinion pages. Or provide your advice on what might sustain us in the long run.
Eventually, we, just like public broadcasting, will have to have a funding drive. For now, please just sign up at the newsletter or, if you are in a hurry like us, at Facebook. Please take one of these small steps to demonstrate that you care because we know you do.

Most Salesforce implementations start (or end) with a dedicated Salesforce administrator configuring all your data to the right format that Salesforce can ingest, then uploading csv lists of existing contacts gathered before Salesforce was introduced. Afterwards, updates to leads, contacts, opportunities, and conversion events are done within Salesforce itself, or by other tools you have installed which send data to Salesforce via built-in integrations. Without integrated tools to update Salesforce when changes to your leads/contacts happen, you need to configure a system to upload updated CSVs daily, or build an ETL pipeline.
Salesforce is also a source of data within Orca, teams can easily use Orca to pipe their company's data out of Salesforce and straight into a campaign in Orca. When you use Salesforce with Orca, you don't need to build an ETL pipeline or any repeating batch upload processes to keep your Salesforce instance up-to-date, all of your lead data and activities will stay updated in real-time.

Climate Change: 20 Disturbing Photos Before & After Coastal Erosion In Cape Cod Wellfleet

Formal accession talks between the EU and a first wave of five CEE countries applying to join are due to start shortly. Unlike most EU environmental and other laws, which comprise the so-called acquis communautaire that CEE applicant countries are expected to comply with before joining, there are no uniform EU standards on nuclear safety.
The European Commission said in May that its strategy was to achieve safety standards in CEE countries "comparable" with those in the EU. The EU Council of Ministers reinforced this message in September (ENDS Daily 28 September).
However, these words are not, so far, leading to actions, the NGO coalition claimed today in a report. CEE governments have ignored previous promises to shut down the most risky nuclear reactors, they say, and the EU has not been "focused or determined" enough in demanding closures.
The European Commission has given over Ecu700m to nuclear safety programmes in the CEE region since 1989, they acknowledge. But the groups claim that EU funding allocated for decommissioning nuclear plants is instead being used to refurbish them, thus extending their lives.
EU Enlargement Watch and its partners want the EU to oblige CEE countries to set "immediate" closure dates for their older, first-generation reactors, which pose the greatest safety risks. Pre-accession aid should be made conditional on quick closure, they say. They claim the current EU accession text, which stipulates that high-risk plants should be shut down, is not proving effective.
The groups are also worried by safety standards at newer, second-generation reactors, which form the bulk of CEE nuclear capacity. The EU's current demand that they be brought up to "international" or "western" security standards, is too vague, claim the NGOs, given that the EU itself has no set of uniform safety standards.

Inglorious Travels Posts
In my final weeks in Thailand I made mandatory stops in several large towns representative of the northern provinces. As I've written elsewhere, cities require a special energy to explore, so whenever I had the chance I shifted gears by stopping in small, unassuming places. It was this kind of settlements, which could be explored in 1-2 days' time until I had the feeling that I could hold them in my hand, that had helped…Leave a Comment
I was late at the caving game: I was already 22 when I walked into my first cave. Several others followed soon and, since this first encounter, caves have been at the top of my list wherever I traveled. My fascination with them comes from what is most likely their mighty effect on any human visitor: I enter caves as matter-of-fact spaces, fully aware of the straightforward natural processes that have shaped them over eons,…Leave a Comment
Travel is not just about elevated emotional states, which you collect and then coat with an even more uplifting layer until given the occasion to tell these stories, excitedly and without pausing to breathe, to someone back home. Travel is also about a lot of in-betweenness and empty moments: time spent waiting in bus stops, train stations, and on the couches of guest houses; time spent finding your way; time spent yearning for something –…Leave a Comment
"Songthaew" is a word I couldn't once say right during my two months in Thailand. The first syllable, 'song', was intuitive and at the same time suggestive of the second part, 'thaew', a tonal roller-coaster with far more vowels than one might think. It is a vital word to know in certain areas in Northern Thailand, where this repurposed pickup truck with two plain benches covered by a tarp is the only means of public…Leave a Comment
I can't exactly point out the moment when I was taken with Mae Sot, a small boomtown on the border of Thailand and Burma. Maybe it was on the evening on my arrival, after traveling on an empty yet remarkably modern highway in the mountains and stumbling upon parking lots filled with music and joyful people. Or maybe the next morning, when I rode my bike the wrong way for kilometers on a busy street, and instead of hearing "You farang, learn to drive!" I was greeted…Leave a Comment
On my final evening in Sangkhlaburi, I pay a visit to Jimmy, and American expat who has lived in Thailand for more than 30 years, quite renowned in the region for his humor and advice. "They all come to me on their last evening and then regret it," he welcomes me. His restaurant stands out among the tourist traps on Sangkhlaburi's main street because of the many book shelves and a CRT television playing pop-rock…Leave a Comment
"If you want, I jump in water now," a sixteen-year-old Mon boy in denim shorts says to me as we both look down at a river 40 meters below us. We are on the Mon Wooden Bridge, the longest wooden bridge in Thailand (400 meters) and an emblem of Sangkhlaburi, as it connects the Thai and Mon sides of the village. It is still quite dark, the stars visible in the sky, fog rising out…Leave a Comment
Once the Thai-Burmese border became the next target of my trip, I learned to look for platforms filled with locals in major bus terminals or for small bus stations near marketplaces. It was after the experience in the crammed, heavily air-conditioned and dangerously fast mini-buses of Southern Thailand that "VIP bus" became something to avoid rather than take comfort in. Nothing to see there other than the driver honking incessantly and the other passengers, all…Leave a Comment

Is there any open class Corps still looking to hire Brass Staff?
UMass Instructors
musicdesign replied to purexitement's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsBoth Klesch and Hannum were on BAC's staff in 1997...
Boston Crusaders 2010
musicdesign replied to Brigadier80's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsI think alot of people miss understand the meaning of that phrase. I think they are Championship driven but like alot of those corps in the 6-9 placements their trying to find the right mix of being "Old School" and at the same time being current in design and performance. I think the show was a little more old school this year as it should be for the 70th anniversary of the corps but I'm sure next year and in years to come they will put out shows that are probably balanced being innovative and current but at the same time being old school enough it keep the Crusader tradition intact. It is more a matter of just execution and uping the GE factor and then you'll see them right in the mix for top 5 and maybe even top 3.
Here we go without knowing everyone's shows yet here is a guess. Will have to update later in the winter. 1. BD 2. Crown 3. Cadets 4. Bluecoats 5. SCV 6. Boston 7.Blue Stars 8. Phantom 9. Cavies 10. Madison 11. Glassmen 12. Blue Knights Yes Cavies will be this past years Phantom and dropping down to the bottom of the finals lineup. I think Boston, Blue Stars, Phantom and Cavies will fight it out for the 6th thru 9th slots.
Which 2009 World Class Finalist will not repeat?
musicdesign replied to Geneva's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsThere is no guarantee Madison will make finals. On paper yes, they signed some big staff names but that guarantees nothing and being very disrespectful of corps like Troopers and BK. It will all be decided on the field starting in June. Madison is in the mix but there are alot of corps in contention such as Crossmen, Spirit and Colts in addition to Madison.
Citations staff?!?!
musicdesign replied to theguy's topic in DCI Open Class Corps DiscussionsAll I'm hearing on here is the same old excuses!!!! The truth is there has been alot of drum corps that have come and gone who have had bad management and have honestly put no effort into trying to fundraise and be creative about it and put the effort to find corporate sponsors. As far as the belows examples: 1. School ends way too late, sometimes as late as June 28 or 29. A bad excuse, I see Jersey Surf, Raiders and yes even Boston dealing with that issue. 2. People are burned out on supporting drum corps. Too many years of people going to that well, just not true. No one has truly gone after the businesses and corporate sponsors except for Cadets maybe. I have talked to many in the business community who would have supported a drum corps just no one including corps I marched in, instructed or were involved in ever tried to pursue these fundraising options. 3. The cost of living is insane and many cannot afford the costs of drum corps on top of that,I agree cost of living is crazy but were all dealing with that. Look at California the economy is just as bad there and we have corps there so again a bad excuse that has been over used. 4. Bingo is dead. The no smoking laws killed the last successful games and the corps with them. Sorry in todays drum corps activity if your relying on only Bingo to fund your corps your not smart. Again 70's and 80's thinking. You have to be creative in how you raise funds. Saying that I do think the activity has changed alot for the better. I think alot of the corps not with us anymore would still be around if the structure of DCI and the activity as it is now was around back then.
Toledo Tavern
musicdesign replied to GlassFan's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsI Believe the scores will be a little higher to begin the season. Cadets- 75.4 Bluecoats-74.2 Boston-73.5 Glassmen- 73.0 Crossmen- 71.2 Troopers- 62.0 Pioneer- 61.4
Congrats on the startup of the corps. I would be interested in a brass staff position. Do have contact info where I could send you my resume?
Making the case for brass in WGI
musicdesign replied to drumcat's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsI believe a Brass Theatre division would be cool or just a brass ensemble division. Of course I think in order to do this from an acoustic standpoint the shows which included this new division would need to be held in an arena of some sort. Instead of a high school gym for example these shows would need to be held in more acoustically friendly venues such as college basketball arenas or even arenas such as Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, NY or Staples Center in Los Angeles etc. Alot of Indoor Professional Football Teams play in these arenas so artificial turf would probably be available for WGI's use if negotiated with these venues for these units to use for movement and it would also help somewhat acoustically. This concept is probably a few years away from really happening but I think it would be a good time for WGI and everyone else in the activity to give this idea some consideration and see what the pro's and cons of doing this would be.
Early 2007 Predictions
musicdesign replied to Tom Brace's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsWay too early to guess this but here I go just for entertainment purposes!!!!!!! It will be a few months before you can even make an educated guess!!!!! 1. Blue Devils 2. Phantom Regiment 3. Cadets 4. Cavaliers 5. Bluecoats 6. Boston Crusaders 7. SCV 8. Madison Scouts 9) Carolina Crown 10) Blue Knights 11) Glassmen 12. Crossmen The top 3 will be close. The spread between 5th place and 12th will be really small so 5th through 12th place could be a scamble and a race to the finish and probably will not be decided until Championship week.
Finals 2007
musicdesign replied to MarchingXylo's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsHey! What the Heck,Speculation is good this time of year. As long as you don't take these seriously! Here is just a speculative guess!!!! With probably less then 2 points between 5th place and 10th place. Talking tenths here, that's how close all these corps are based on last season. This could be the top 12 next year with the order being switched around alot!!!!! It will interesting to see what happens!!!!! 1. Phantom 2. Cavs 3. Blue Devils 4. SCV 5. Boston 6. Cadets 7. Bluecoats 8. Carolina Crown 9. Madison 10.Blue Knights 11. Blue Stars 12. Spirit
Ideas for a Blue Devils show
musicdesign replied to JamMan's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsI believe Blue Devils need to get back to playing Jazz. My idea for a while has been that the Blue Devils should have a Jazz Composition contest. With Wayne Downey and the rest of the staff being the judges. The winners composition would be performed by the Blue Devils during the season on the field. With all the great Jazz schools like Berklee College of Music and North Texas State etc I think they would be able to get some great original Jazz compositions and ideas out of it. Of course Wayne would probably have to arrange it to corpsize it but I think that would be cool. The corps could offer a package to the winner. Maybe a cash prize along with 2 tickets to DCI Championship Finals etc.
San Antonio Crossmen
musicdesign replied to rut-roh's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsWith my background in being involved in drum corps on the east coast I can understand the emotions the crossmen alumni and fans are having to them moving operations to San Antonio. In the end though this will be a good deal for Crossmen. Being free from YEA will be a good thing in the long run competitively and financially. I don't know if I agree with them moving to Texas, as I believe YEA could have found a new home for them on the east coast but I do understand the move and there is alot of potential in Texas for this corps. I will be interested in seeing the developemnt of the Crossmen once they're Texas operations get underway!!!! Good Luck!!!!
DCI demands!
musicdesign replied to capsounddad's topic in DCI Open Class Corps DiscussionsI agree that the corps have known for sometime about DCI's being held in Pasadena. DCI is doing the right thing by asking for a committment from the DCI Div. 2/3 as to if they will be travelling west for DCI's. I also hope all the Division 2/3 corps are able to go West for Championships. Corps need to think ahead nowadays! In addition to making plans for Pasadena for 2007, all the corps should be making plans for Indy in 2008 also. I will be interested to see how this shakes out as this will be a test for alot of corps management wise and finanically wise. To be fair though the west coast corps have been dealing with these same issues for years. Hope to see everybody in Pasadena!!!!
ESPN2 Finals Broadcast
musicdesign replied to oswald's topic in DCI World Class Corps DiscussionsPatience everyone!!!! You have to remember that this ESPN Broadcast is still in its infancy. Not sure if everyone is old enough to remember the very first PBS broadcasts they were pretty bad. I think as the ESPN2/DCI relationship grows that the shows will be tweaked and improved just like the PBS shows were over the years! Give DCI and ESPN2 sometime!

Know Nothings and the Order of the Star-Spangled Banner
According to Daniel Walker Howe, the Know Nothing Party had its origins in a movement called the "Order of the Star-Spangled Banner" which was a secret society started by native born Protestants fearful of the growing political power of Catholic immigrants. I am on the trail of the origins of this society for a paper due tomorrow.
About the image:
Library of Congress
TITLE: Uncle Sam's youngest son, Citizen Know Nothing / Sarony & Co., lith., 117 Fulton St., N.Y.
CALL NUMBER: PGA – Sarony & Co.–Uncle Sam's… (D size) [P&P]
REPRODUCTION NUMBER: LC-DIG-pga-02603 (digital file from original print)
LC-USZC2-6319 (color film copy slide)
LC-USZ62-14088 (b&w film copy neg.)
SUMMARY: A bust portrait of a young man representing the nativist ideal of the Know Nothing party. He wears a bold tie and a fedora-type hat tilted at a rakish angle. The portrait is framed by intricate carving and scrollwork surmounted by an eagle with a shield, and is draped by an American flag. Behind the eagle is a gleaming star. The flag hangs from a staff at left which has a liberty cap on its end. The Citizen Know Nothing figure appears in several nativist prints of the period (for instance "The Young America Schottisch," no. 1855-5) and is probably an idealized type rather than an actual individual. The publishers, Williams, Stevens, Williams & Company, were art dealers with a gallery on Broadway.
MEDIUM: 1 print on wove paper: lithograph printed in black, olive, and buff ; image 67 x 46 cm.
CREATED/PUBLISHED: [New York] : Williams, Stevens, Williams & Co., 353 Broadway, N.Y., c1854.

text: Okay so first off I'm on vacation visiting home. I've been dating this girl for sometime now almost 6 months were not official but we're close. I'm not dating anybody else or having sex but only my girl. Anyways before I left me and her had sex and well she said it was amazing. I ate her out and she said I'm really good at it. Then she made a joke who else do you practice it on. Anyways I didn't say anything cause I know she was joking around at least I hope. So I'm back home and well I went out with my buddies for a drink I got really drunk and my friend was telling me hit on some girls and I was like no bro and he was like why you guys aren't official so do it. He then said his girlfriend of 7 years cheated on him and that's why I should do it blah blah blah. So girls started coming to us and I was drunk so I stepped outside for a bit... I gave my girl a call and i basically told her do you trust me and she was like yes why and I asked her if she thinks I'm faithful cause she sometimes says things that make me think I'm a bad guy. Then she said can we talk about this when you get back and I was like yes we can so I told her goodnight. Anyways she hasn't texted me or called and I worried that she probably thinks I did something. I was drunk and just didn't want to be around girls that were flirtatious with me. What should I do?

Student Medical Laboratory Technician Programme
The Student Medical Laboratory Technician (SMLT) programme is a two-year programme in which suitable candidates from within and outside of PathCare are recruited to undergo training to become Qualified Medical Laboratory Technicians in Clinical Pathology or Histology. While South Africa is experiencing a shortage of qualified medical technologists, this qualification is one means to help bridge the gap. As rapid technological advances take place, the pathology industry envisages the need for more suitably qualified laboratory technicians and PathCare provides the opportunity for individuals to enter this environment.
The programme is run along similar lines to a learnership in which the students have theory and practical study in training rooms and rotations through various PathCare training laboratories for practical work respectively. The subjects studied by those students wanting to become Clinical Pathology Technicians are Anatomy and Physiology, Safety in the Laboratory, Medical Ethics, Chemical Pathology, Haematology and Microbiology. Students wishing to pursue the Histology Technician qualification follow the same initial generic training programme before substituting Histology for the Chemistry, Haematology and Microbiology disciplines. In addition the students undergo training in the use of our Laboratory Information Systems. Lifeskills training programmes further equip the students for the workplace. The trainers and supervisors are all qualified registered medical practitioners.
The programme commences in February each year and positions are advertised internally within PathCare and on the PathCare website in September/October of the year preceding commencement. Entry criteria for this Academy programme includes a grade 12 pass with mathematics and science and/or biology. Selection includes pre-interview testing and panel interviews. Successful candidates are paid an allowance and are employed on a two-year contract during their studies at the PathCare Academy. Each year, the Academy is also increasing its number of candidates recruited for/from various locations in South Africa and Namibia in order to help address the skills shortages affecting various areas. Students write a national Board Exam set by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) during which they write two two-hour exams. The students need to achieve a 50% pass in both exams in order to pass, and a 50% average across the two papers, for each discipline in the Clinical Pathology exam. Once they have passed the exam, and completed the 24 month mandatory training period, they are required to register as Qualified Medical Laboratory Technicians with the HPCSA in order to be able to practise in their field.
As with our Phlebotomy Technicians, our Medical Laboratory Technicians at the Academy in Cape Town have enjoyed exceptionally high pass rates on the HPCSA's annual Board Exams. Since commencing the Academy programme in 2006, 97% of our students have passed the exams. 2018 results saw a 100% pass rate for the fourth consecutive year. We are proud of their results and proud of our many graduates now successfully working in the field.

Xiaomi is, in its words, fighting for innovative engineering, its fans and the future on February 20 as it has teased an event in Beijing to launch the Mi 9.
The move brings forward the company's Mi flagship release cycle by three months, coming closer to the timeframe of MWC 2019 and directly clashing with Samsung's next Unpacked event for the Galaxy S10 and its foldable phone.
Officially, all we know the phone to be is one with three rear cameras on it. It also has a woven lanyard case to go along with it in a general red color and a limited edition teal. We also figure from rumors that it will have a Snapdragon 855 chipset from Qualcomm, up to 10GB of RAM and 5G connectivity.
Guess what's c 🧿🧿🧿 ming? #MakeItHappen pic.twitter.com/2iVPCz1Yva

We aren't sure if this phone will go global in quick order, but Xiaomi does have plans to hold a separate launch at MWC 2019, along with a 5G-enabled Mi Mix device, new or old.

So I just watched Late Night with Conan O'Brien. It was pretty funny as usual until the band "Lordi" came out. I was expecting like a Greenday type band but holy moly that is NOT what they were. I had to mute it as soon as they started. Psycho. You could totally tell Conan was like, "who the....what the....oh my...." type look on his face. Totally can't explain how sickening they were. And the whole time I was thinking....Probably won't be referring missionaries there way anytime soon. I always thought KISS had the ugliest "costumes" but these are just plain hidious and scary. I guess its KISS on meth?...yeah that sounds about right! Hence why I am still awake because if I close my eyes I will scream!

Julie's Review: Sundays at Tiffany's
Summary: As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother, the powerful head of a Broadway theater company, has no time for her. She does have one friend-a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael-but only she can see him. Years later, Jane is in her thirties and just as alone as ever. Then she meets Michael again-as handsome, smart and perfect as she remembers him to be. But not even Michael knows the reason they've really been reunited. SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S is a love story with an irresistible twist, a novel about the child inside all of us-and the boundary-crossing power of love.~amazon.com
Review: I've been waiting for this kind of James Patterson book again and yes, I had high hopes for Sundays at Tiffany's,but I was a bit disappointed but not as much as I might have been. Enter 8 year old Jane with her imaginary friend Michael and how he's with her all the time to help her through a difficult time in her life. But there are rules and Michael can't explain them to Jane but he knows she'll forget him because that's what kids always do, they forget their imaginary friends. Flash-forward 20+ years and Jane hasn't forgotten Michael and well Michael hasn't forgotten Jane. He's thought about her often in the years they've been apart. He happens to be in NYC between "jobs" when he and Jane have a chance meeting. Which is supposed to make you think, "Is anything really chance?"
Jane hasn't really been happy in the last 20 years, in fact the last time she can remember being happy is when she was 8 years. She has a successful career but is still tied to her mom, the famous Vivienne Margaux. She's never felt good enough to be her mom's daughter and always felt Vivienne felt the same way.
The twist isn't really a twist if you read close enough and at least to me, it was very anti-climatic. It's also not described or explained to my satisfaction, in fact I found that it made no sense at all.
I think the premise is very interesting and it does leave some of the details on certain plot points for you to fill in yourself but it wasn't fully developed to my taste. I'm not sure I "bought" the romance part of the story. There were other aspects that I would have liked to see developed. And while the title of the novel relates to the book I do think it would be better named "Astor Court" or something to that effect.
If you haven't read James Patterson's foray into the romance side of the aisle I would suggest picking up Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas which brought me to tears many times or Sam's Letters to Jennifer which was almost as good at Suzanne's Diary. Both of those novels are far superior to Sunday at Tiffany's.
Final Take: 3/5

Video: I am not Jubril, I am Muhammadu Buhari
Agency Report
President Muhammadu Buhari reacted for the first time on Sunday to rumours that he is not the real Person elected by Nigerians but a look-alike double from Sudan, known as Jubril.
He declared: ''It's real me, I assure you. I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday and I will still go strong.''
President Muhammadu Buhari was speaking in Krakow, Poland, when he met Nigerians living in the country.
For sometime, the fake news industry claimed that the Nigerian President is an impostor.
The issue was raised by one of the Nigerians. But an unruffled Buhari reaffirmed his authentic identity.
He described the authors of the confusion about him as ''ignorant and irreligious.''
''A lot of people hoped that I died during my ill health. Some even reached out to the Vice President to consider them to be his deputy because they assumed I was dead. That embarrassed him a lot and of course, he visited me when I was in London convalescing… It's real me; I assure you,'' he declared.
