Interesting observation on gender differences amongst high school singers...
One of the choirs I conduct is the large (non-auditioned) mixed ensemble, which numbers about 80 total (balance is about 50 women/30 men, which is not all that bad). We generally have one (1.5 hr) rehearsal together per week, in addition to one hour for men and one hour for women separately. I've found that the girls are more consistent, but when the boys are "on," they're better. Wonder what conclusions one can draw from all this.

I've always loved how it's officially called "THE Gambia." Kind of like "THE Ohio State University", etc...

Looks like a pig will put on some lipstick. Will the lipstick work? In my eyes... NO!

Indeed. Especially if he came back with some signed deals or some such goodness.

Sure their stuff is not the greatest quality but if I buy a drill that costs me 1/8th of what a drill at Sears costs, but lasts 1/4th of the time a Sears drill does, I'm still coming out ahead. And with the coupon I had for the drill, I spent the savings on the extended warranty so if it breaks they give me a new one for free. :-: It is a great place.

This show is all about the networking, though I did come back with a solid lead on a project and some tight partnerships with some international vendors.

I found them on page 4/5 of Buildings and Skylines. Will let you know what I decide; the fireworks shots are all too gorgeous to exclude. If I could get a fireworks shot and a night skyline, that would be :-:.

And there was also that horrible attempt by mass media about the same time to put "American" in front of every new TV show. I'm all for a good display of patriotism, but that was just their clueless way of trying to do so when the wave of good societal karma from 9/11 was coming to a close. People started being schmucks again about nine months after. |

If you don't make it down there, give the properties a call and explain that you can't make it due to the weather. They may allow you to cancel your reservations or at least move them to a different day.
I'd be happy to move them to another day (presuming that they would honor the rate paid, which was a very cheap one) - but I don't even know at this point when I'll next be back in DC...

Yeah...and ironically, that would make more sense in some other African countries, like the ones right next door ("THE Guinea" vs. Guinea-Bissau). Or how long until someone tries to copyright "THE Congo"? Very confusing.

A couple of clicks later, I got myself a code for a free in-flight wireless session. Hopefully I'll be taking a transcon on an equipped plane before it expires on 3/31. ^ |
