An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Stox family lived in Pembrokeshire. Their name, however, is a reference to Stock, near Caen, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Stox Early Origins
Pembrokeshire where they held a family seat from early times. One of the first records of the names was Saint Simon Stock (c. 1165-1265), an English saint who was probably born in Aylesford England. In a vision, The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him and gave him the Carmelite habit, the Brown Scapular and promised that those who die wearing it will be saved.
Stox Spelling Variations
Stox Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Stoke, Stokes, Stoaks, Stocks and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Because of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Stox name or one of its variants: Christopher Stokes who settled in Virginia in 1624; Grace, and Eleanor Stokes settled in Boston in 1635; George Stokes settled in Barbados in 1634; Lance and Robert Stokes settled in Virginia in 1637..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fortis qui insons
Motto Translation: Innocent fortune.

The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) this week announced that subcontracts have been offered to 34 states and territories by RTI International to participate in an effort to address privacy issues associated with the proposed creation of a National Health Information Network. The NGA Center is a partner with RTI International on the overall project that examines business policies and state laws related to the privacy and security of health information.
The states and territories will form the Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' strategy whose aim is to allow electronic health records to be shared among health care professionals nationwide.
"The current fragmented health care system is broken and unsustainable, and governors recognize that health information technology offers the promise for improving the system," said NGA Chairman Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. "The eventual use of health information technology will go a long way in making the system more efficient and effective for all."
States with executed subcontracts to date are: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Awards for the 34 subcontracts range from $250,000 to $350,000 and will require each state to bring together a broad range of stakeholders from their respective regions to develop consensus-based solutions to the barriers to health information exchange.
"The information learned from the state-led projects will be critical to developing an interoperable national health information network," said NGA Center Chair and Association Vice Chair Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. "A nationwide network will allow consumers to make informed choices by providing them secure access to their health care information."
States selected to participate will be asked to complete by fall 2006 assessments of privacy and security policies, regulations, and business practices that might affect their ability to connect to the national health information network, according to RTI. In March 2007, representatives from each region will discuss implementation plans that allow electronic sharing of health information across states and territories.

by Stan Weaver, 1986 Sky Ryders
This article originally appeared in the December 2007 edition of Drum Corps World (Volume 36, Number 15)
In my 25 years of being a fan of drum corps and an avid reader of Drum Corps World, I have heard many stories about how someone was first introduced to the activity. I thought I had just about heard them all until I met my "drum corps grandmas".
While sitting in the stands before the Chattanooga, TN, show on July 29, 1999. I was typing on a palm pilot keyboard for the purpose of uploading the content to my Web site later. A couple of ladies sitting behind me asked what I was doing. After talking with them, I learned that this was their first-ever drum corps show and they were not at all sure what to expect.
When I asked how they came to be at the show, I got an answer that I was not ready for.
They were doing a favor for a sick friend. It turns out this friend responded when these ladies asked the rhetorical, "If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know" question.
His reply was, "Yes, please go to a drum corps show and come back and tell me all about it."
He was a drum corps fan and was unable to attend any shows.
I had marched in a top 12 corps in the 1980s and had a head full of knowledge and they made the mistake of asking me their questions. They were "on assignment" to learn all they could and report back to their friend, and I was all too eager to provide the answers to their questions.
Though I don't remember, I bet my answers were barely completed before the next corps was on the starting line.
Not known for turning down a friend or a chance to travel, Judy and Ilona made plans to travel to the next show in Chattanooga. The rest, as they say, is history. They have been hooked ever since and have been attending shows even though their friend finally succumbed to his illness.
They did come back and give him a full report. In fact, they told him, "You do not have to ask us to go to any more shows for you, because we have already decided that we are going to as many as we can!"
The story does not end there. We kept running into one another at show after show in the parking lot, at hotels, in the stands, all completely by accident. After awhile, we decided to plan on meeting at a show or two each year.
This year I was not able to make the shows with them, but ended up inviting them to my house to watch the Webcast of DCI Semifinals.
That 1999 night in the stands holds a special place in my heart and in their hearts as well. Judy, Ilona and I have remained friends thanks to the love of drum corps. We have watched our children and their grandchildren grow up over the years.
Both Ilona and Judy are grandmothers and since I am far away from family, I started calling them "my drum corps grandmas". The name has stuck and now my family thinks of them as their "drum corps grandmothers as well".
Judy's has had three grandchildren march in Spirit, Alliance and the Corps Vets which gives her ample excuse to travel and attend even more shows. She has always been in their corner encouraging them to march each summer and seize the opportunities that youth provides before time forces them to be in the stands like us. She is now a great grandmother and has barely slowed down.
Ilona is just as much fun as Judy and they make friends wherever they go. I imagine she will be a great grandmother soon and who knows, they may introduce their great grandchildren to the activity.
Leave it to drum corps to begin new and lasting friendships while all age groups. It is truly an activity that we can all get excited about and once you catch the fever, it just may never go away!

The following is from the newspaper column "Scholla," by Arthur D. Graeff,
published Nov. 3rd and 6th, 1967 in the Reading Eagle.
Sometimes the veteran historian is led to despair. This is especially true
when his painstaking research converts legend into fact, but the legend
In early youth, I became suspicious of the Regina Hartman story which I heard
from every rostrum, pulpit, and street corner. Everybody in western Berks
seemed to have this "nugget of history" in his or her back pocket.
In my home there was a battered old book, "Regina, the German Captive" written
in 1860 by Rev. R. Weiser, President of the Central College of Iowa, Fort Des
The clergyman told the story of the Indian captive as he remembered it some 40
years after an elderly relative in Womelsdorf had told it to him. It was a
story full of ... Indian raids and Indian customs, climaxing in the pathos of
the reunion of Regina, the captive, and her mother, at Carlisle, in 1763,
after nine years of captivity...
In 1922 and 1923, I worked closely with the late Dr. P.C. Croll, pioneer
historian of the Lebanon Valley area.
He doubted the truth of the "Hartman" part of the story and led me to the late
Col. H.M.M. Richards, of Lebanon. Col. Richards had found a diary, in
Lancaster, written by one Barbara Leininger.
The diary dealt with Barbara's capture and escape from the Indians during the
French and Indian War. She had a sister, Regina, who failed to escape, and the
names of the Indians mentioned and of the places of captivity were the same as
those recorded by the Reverend Weiser for Barbara and Regina (Leininger)
This Barbara Leininger married David Breckenridge, one of her rescuers, and
the couple lived a normal life in the city of Lancaster.
Regina, reared as an Indian, never married, and was buried at a mature age at
Christ (Long's) Church, west of Stouchsburg. These facts were recorded in the
reports of the Reverend Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, and his appointed pastor,
Rev. Nicholas Kurtz at Christ Church. But Muhlenberg never gave the surname of
the girl in his reports - neither Hartman nor Leininger....
....in 1958, I was [still] not certain the two sisters, Regina and Barbara,
were named Leininger. We had many Hartmans listed on the early ship lists but
found no immigrant named Leininger, who settled in the distant areas of Snyder
County as early as 1756.
Among those at the dedication of the headstone [for Regina Leininger, built by
the Berks Co. Cemetery Assoc.] in Long's Cemetery, Oct. 11, 1958, was Charles
Fisher Snyder, secretary of the Northumberland Co. Historical Society... After
the dedication, Snyder supplied me with data he found in his studies of
European records which relate to the early settlers of Northumberland and
Snyder Counties.
There he found the immigrant father of the girls, Sebastian Leininger,
operator of a grist mill along Penn's Creek. At the time of the record,
Sebastian had two daughters, Barbara and Regina. We know now that a son was
born after the notation that Snyder discovered.
These findings were published in local historical journals from 1959 through
1961. There can be little excuse for a history writer of today to fall into
the error of names and places which are so closely tied to our local heritage.
These articles were reprinted in "Echoes of Scholla," 1976. The book includes
a photo of the Leininger memorial, erected in 1958. The hymn which her mother
sang to identify her in 1763 is given on the stone as "Allen, und Doch Nicht
ganz Allein"

text: 1. Email didn't destroy your friendship, previously unrecognized political differences did. There is a similar pattern that emerges often in interracial friendships, where folks start out laughing and loving, but when you peel back the veneer of compatibility, the unspoken political and social worldviews that are often tethered to ethnic (or gender, or sexual) identities cause a rupture in the once happy pairings. Usually it's not nearly so caustic as what you described, rather, people just stop communicating with one another and drift away. 2. Email didn't destroy your friendship, your poor use of it did. It was incredibly bad for you to forward emails to a group of people who don't know each other, without Blind Carbon Copying them. The only time emails of that nature should be sent is when people have opted-in to a mailing list of some sort, or when you know for sure that everyone on the list is familiar with each other in at least some rudimentary way. Bad netiquette, very bad. Art

be careful with sizing
I'm 5'8 and 122lbs and the 26 is too large on me, even with a belt it looks to big and I can pull it off of myself. Definitely size down. I ordered a 26 because I wear that in FP shorts, granted a have wiggle room in the 26 in shorts but the 25 shorts are way too short but because these are pants I would recommend sizing down at least one, maybe even two sizes. They're super cute and comfortable though, I will return and reorder in the right size.
pants and things
I have a love hate relationship with these pants. Love the look hate the fit. I'm usually between a 26-27 but I got a size 25 in these pants. They fit when you first put them on but stretch significantly throughout the day. I'm contemplating buying another pair but will probably buy a size 24. (the waist is the fit issue with me) I'm 5'7" 118 lbs
Peddle pusherish cords
These are a score for a hang out kinda pants. They are big in the waist but still have a nice fit in the bootie and legs. The length is shorter than usual so roll them up a little more and show your sexy ankles off. Big thighs and cankles won't be happy with these. While corduroy stretches, no stretch in these aside from that. You'll most likely need a belt.
extra fabric on the waist
I'm a true 27/26 and got this in 26. Considering how I can go with 25 in some FP pants this is on the more TTS side of FP bottoms. It's very low rise, which I don't quite like but have no trouble with it bc it was described so. However the waist part (the part connected by the ends of the belt holes) is very weird. The size of the waist is determined by the bottom part of the waist, but from there going up, there is extra fabric that makes it large on top. If it fitted better I would totally go for other colors as well - speaking of color, I got it in black and it's more washed than what's shown in the picture. So the color is actually more like dark grey.
Awesome cords, but huge waist.
I ordered these cords in black, and the color is very true to the pictures. However, the waist is huge! I ordered them in my normal size (27) and they fit pretty tight in the legs (I have pretty muscular legs, so this may not be the case for everyone), but are enormous in the waist - as in I could fit two fists in the gap between my stomach and the fabric. I'm still debating whether or not to just belt them or return them since they are very cute and I love the length. I'm just not that into wearing belts!
Cord Roller Skinny Moss.
I love these cords for the color, fabric & style. I bought my first pair online in a 27. The size I always wear in FP jeans. They were huge in the waist. I took them back to my local FP who ordered me the size down. The waist on the 26 is still huge but keeping them because of the color. The sizing on these pants is really off. I suggest trying them on in the store.
LOVE!! but need belt
I love these pants, i got them in olive color and they are great, but they fit a little strange. I always buy free people pants in a size 26, and they usually fit great, but these are a little loose in the back. I still wear the pants, but i try to remember a belt!
great pants!
I love these! I bought them in two colors and both fit great and are super flattering. They are great to wear with tall boots, the shorter length makes it so they don't bunch. And also the perfect length to roll or wear straight with flats, booties, or heels. I wouldn't say the run really large, just if you go between two sizes normally pick the smaller of the two.

Last week was tough for St. Louis priests who became bishops with a notable exception. As reported here first (and became a tipsheet for the Post-Dispatch and television stations) Pope Francis dissed Cardinal Raymond Burke and Cardinal Justin Rigali , knocking them off a key church panel that taps new bishops. And Memphis Bishop Terry Steib was criticized for keeping silent about a Tennessee priest, Fr. James Murphy, who allegedly molested kids in clergy sex orgies.
9 Responses to "TOUGH FOR PRIESTS"
It's SNAP that is criticizing Bishop Steib–and only SNAP according to Google–but it's nice to know SNAP is keeping an eye on things. Perhaps SNAP will be proved right–or wrong–as time goes on.
It's an even tougher week,day,hour,month,year,years and decades for the innocent child victims that are scarred emotionally and physically of sick pedophile Catholic priests that never were arrested and sent to prison!! No wonder I'm an atheist!
more venom from retired one…………when he is on his deathbed in terrible agony and pain and no family who cares for him and he is alone and thinking of his useless life, I wonder if he will realize the power of prayer and faith and????????????????
dd,I'm too intelligent and emotionally strong to need a primitive fairy tales based crutch like religion.Religion is for the weak,simple minded and superstitious.I am aware that death is a part of life and am not afraid to die and don't need the fictional promise of a heaven or hell to deal with accepting death.Prayer is a primitive ritual in which you are talking to yourself since there is no "god",intelligent people are aware of that FACT!
Retired 1..You sound so matter of fact. I spent over 60 yrs.,(No more since 2001!) In the rcc. My faith in God has never changed, only my faith in a church run & controlled by evil men! There is so much proof in my life that "HE" exsists, that I must go along with that reality. I plan on a good place to go after HE calls me home. I have loved my life with HIM…through all kinds of tests. HE comes with a guarantee! It's written in HIS SON'S BLOOD! Check HIM OUT…You may like what HE SAYS ABOUT "YOU" and those you love!
As I have mention to the Tired1 before, with his rigid non belief system, I have mentioned just go and jump in front of a moving bus, and you have your past, you have your present, but what is your future ? If you have no faith in anything, your life becomes "for the moment", and the moment that you cease…you may be one that gasps in awe at what you did not expect…I do not judge, I only suggest.
My comment above is to retired 1 from me…gloria Sullivan.
Wait a minute !!! I just posted a response, and then Tired1 comes back with a show of high faith ??? Confusion reigns. This deserves a second look…AH, I see the beef is with the RCC…but that should not turn one into an atheist, only a more determined mind to find salvation in another allegiance. Unless, someone just falsely posted as Tired1…Post after post about atheism…yet ma man of faith…it is not congruent…wires sparking…mind flutters…eyes rolling…I feel faint…I now take leave…
OK, now later I see…back to reality…Thank you Gloria…you have the perfect first name. Thank you.

Trolling Undefined
Nothing fractures my ear like someone misusing a word. I could elaborate, but the many different ways this occurs in our world today, I'd literally never stop writing. The previous sentence is an example of the common misuse of literally…we all know I would not write for the next forty years about word misuse.
What bothers me more than someone else speaking incorrect words in incorrect ways…is when I think I'm guilty of it. A current buzzword is "trolling" and I'll be damned if I know exactly what it is.
I thought early on that if someone wrote a controversial article or blog and someone else stated that that writer was "trolling", they meant the conventional fishing metaphor.
The two men above are trolling for fish, as a writer of controversial material is "trolling" for attention and/or unique hits.
I'm beginning to suspect that I am wrong. I think "trolling" derives from a popular new wave of mangling the english language and the term is one I've loathed since the 7th grade….THE GERUND…ugh it makes me sick just to write it.
Here's a quick example, "Writing is fun!", aside from being untrue, this example turns the verb of "writing" into a noun and therefore into a gerund…make sense? ..No?? ..Exactly!
The social media savvy types have made this a common practice. Here are a few sports examples..The act of solemn prayer after a touchdown became "Tebow-ing" Slumping on the floor, while completely out of it, became "Dufner-ing" after an unfortunate picture of the current PGA Champ went viral. "Clemson-ing" means a superior team losing to a completely inferior one after the D-1 football program suffered one too many crushing losses against Western South Dakota Tech.
The commentary boxes could be one of the scariest places on the internet. Filled with anonymous people submitting the most vile attacks on the subject matter, the writer of the article, political figures and in most cases…each other. It's like a transcript of the most insane road rage or roid rage or any kind of rage you can imagine. I'm beginning to think the people,or sub-humans, that partake in this are referred to as "Trolls".
"Hmmm- Scrotar Need 4 Letter Word For Eff Word"
I think that is a very fitting term and I approve. However, turning this term into a gerund and overusing it and misusing it….well…it literally makes me want to literally find a commentary box and literally unleash hell….LITERALLY.

THE NEW BLACK 'Rover – Ombré' Nail Polish 5-Piece Set Review and Swatches
Written by Elessa, Posted in Blog, Product Review
Expertly curated colors carefully selected for perfectly graduated tones. Take nails beyond the pale and graduate from the monochrome to incremental colors, one for each nail. Creme/Frost and Glitter finishes. Vegan-friendly, long-wearing and chip-resistant.
Toluene-, formaldehyde-, camphor- and DBP-free.
0.12 oz. each.
By THE NEW BLACK.
Price $22.00
Available Nordstroms and Sephora
- Opaque polish you only need 2 coats and that is plenty
- Ombre look is done for you
- Cute little bottles that you can travel with
- Colors come in different finishes from cream to subtle sparkle
- I only found this set at Nordstroms.com. Sephora has other shades available
- If you are looking for value then this isn't for you. Each bottle will run you about $4.40. It isn't bad if you love the colors but to some this might be too pricy
- Took a while to dry for me. I recommend a fast drying top coat.
I am on my third day and I haven't seen any chips. The polish dries smooth and very opaque. It has a great high quality polish feel to it and definitely not streaky. I love how it takes the guessing out of the Ombre style but I do wish that the middle colors were a bit more noticeable in this collection. At certain angles my ring, middle and pointer finger colors looked really close.
4 Stars out of 5
I took a star off because it took too long to dry.
Have you tried this one out yet?
Do you love it ? Hate it?

This is an advanced beginner shawlette, that begins at the top. Once the pattern is established, you repeat the same four rows over & over again, until the shawl is your desired size. Though I wrote the pattern in fingering weight, I've also made this shawl full size, using yarns from DK to worsted.
The border is very easy, only four rows.
You can make this shawl if you know how to sc, dc, and tr.

China hands over military aid to army
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China yesterday presented equipment valued 5M RMB (over US$819,000) to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).
Chinese Ambassador to Guyana, Zhang Limin presented the keys to some of the equipment, which includes an excavator, an ambulance, front-end loaders and inflatable boats with engine, to President Donald Ramotar at a brief ceremony held yesterday morning at Base Camp Ayanganna. The president then handed over the equipment to GDF Chief of Staff Brigadier Mark Phillips. Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett also attended the event.
A Government Information Agency (GINA) report said the presentation was made following Tuesday's signing of a military aid agreement totalling 30M RMB (approximately US$4.8M) between the two militaries as China's 2014 assistance. In his address, the president said Guyana values its relationship with the People's Republic of China and appreciates the great contribution that it continues to make here and in other countries of the world. "The contribution that we have received here today, from the People's Liberation Army is indeed very vital in assisting the GDF to build its infrastructure, and facilitate its work in a more effective and efficient way," he said.
According to Ramotar, the equipment will greatly assist the army's defence programme and in maintaining communications and responding to emergencies over the far-flung areas of Guyana's vast and varied terrain and river network.
The president further lauded China's contribution to regional and international development over the years, pointing out that its support has also increased greatly over time. China has become one of the main drivers in the international economy, he said. "Their friendly relations and investments in many parts of the world have helped greatly during the time of the financial and economic crises to keep the world economy going."
The support provided to the GDF yesterday represents China's 2011 military assistance to Guyana. The army Chief of Staff said that 2012 assistance of 10M RMB is in process.
In response, Major General Li explained that as a demonstration of the importance the PLA attaches to the China-Guyana military relationship, the Chinese military has decided to increase its military aid to Guyana for this year to 30M RMB.
Meanwhile, the ambassador said that the two countries' bilateral military cooperation is an important part of their bilateral collaboration and despite international challenges over the years, this bilateral military relationship has continued uninterrupted. The ambassador further noted that the signing of the 2014 agreement on Tuesday, and the presentation of the equipment yesterday represents a new start in this military cooperation.

Becoming a change agent
Becoming a change agent at your company or with your clients is tough. There is always risk when you challenge the entrenched status quo.
But the rewards for being a recognized pioneer can be tremendous.
We are going through a communications revolution no different than when the telephone first entered the workplace a century ago.
Many people tell me that they have bosses who are just plain resistant to change. Or fearful. Or stubborn. Or all three.
Or it's the PR department, the HR people, or the lawyers who say "no".
Amazingly, a huge number of companies still block employee access to social networking sites like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
That's crazy. Imagine blocking the telephone? Or the fax machine? Or email?
If you work for a company that is not engaging its marketplace in the ways that buyers demand, I think you have three choices:
1. You can become a change agent.
This is difficult but potentially very rewarding. The role of change agent comes with risks because the entrenched powers will fight you.
In 2002, I was fired from my job as VP of Marketing at a division of the Thomson Corporation partly because I was a vocal advocate for new marketing in a business that was in love with direct mail and tradeshows.
While you risk getting sacked, if you successfully bring a company into the world of modern communications, you have potential to be promoted, get a raise, and become a hero.
2. You can live with the status quo.
There's nothing inherently wrong with living with what others tell you to do and not challenging what you know to be wrong. When you've got a family and obligations, particularly in a tough economy, putting your livelihood at risk may not be the right thing. But you will take an emotional toll.
Can you live with yourself if you're ducking into the restroom to hide in a stall with a mobile so you can update your social sites?
3. You may want to find another job.
I know people who have decided to leave companies solely because of the draconian social networking policies. They choose to leave a company where they have friends, have worked for years, and whose products they love.
In a particularly radical move, I know some who have quit without another job lined up. Many of those people have started their own thing and most have succeeded.
You've got a choice.
You can become an agent of change. The rewards can be great, but so are the risks.

I am torn on this one because I believe that I was sacked for my insistence on promoting the company I worked for using new media strategies while the C-levels wanted direct mail and expensive PR tactics. The person who took my place ended up implementing the very tools, but not strategies, that I had argued for. In the end, social media outlets are tools, not strategies themselves. A lot of marketers are missing this important fact and just using Twitter or Facecbook as another method of releasing PR, not as a tool for engaging and delighting potential and past customers.
As for personal use of social media during work; smokers take frequent breaks... how is that any different from checking one's twitter feed once an hour?
Love this David.
I left a job for these exact reasons. Archaic enterprise who did not want to listen. Banned Twitter, as they did not think it was useful. Told us their strategy was working. Then 3 months after I left, they laid off 30 employees. They wanted employees who did what they were told, not employees who wanted to help.
Excellent post David.
Pamela and Johnny -- Thanks! Keep the faith.
Thanks for the inspiration; you make great points about making changes in business. It's crazy to think that businesses still refuse to accept Social Media as legitimate communication tools. Amazingly enough it is like that with any new type of thinking, there are still so many companies that think they have all the answers and nobody else could possibly have a good idea, or a better way of doing things. I'm trying to build my own Inbound Marketing Firm, and I'm also an Inventor working on bringing some new products to the retail market. Crazy enough companies, especially large corporations are not quick to accept any type of new thinking. This is going to happen, and those that choose to approach their business and life with an open mind, and look clearly at the benefits new thinking provides will succeed. The rest will be left fighting to catch up. I'm all for becoming a change agent!
Good luck with it Keith!
David, this post is so timely it scares the crap out of me.
Living and owning a business in a small town (much like Gambier, OH in terms of size), I've found that, while I can't live with the status quo, everyone around me seems to be happier than a pig in slop with the way things have always been. And that's frustrating.
Thanks for writing this article. I plan to share it with many folks to hopefully be a catalyst for conversations.
Glad that it helped Chris!
The path to becoming a change agent is full of risk. There's a lot of "asking forgiveness rather than permission" and it takes time to establish a reputation in this field. Therefore, it is wise to assess your comfort level with the risk (what's the worst case? will you survive losing your job? can you afford to strike out on your own?) before forging ahead (forgive the expression) balls to the wall.
these days, you really need to always be ahead of your competition, and in order to achieve that, you have to take think outside the box and most the time you have to take risks and that is like embracing change.
Hi David .. thanks for this. Perhaps we could adapt something Tom Peters said recently: "restate your major thesis 50 times in 50 ways in 50 minutes to up the odds of communication". He was talking about public presentations - but in advocating change, we could submit the business case with the evidence - in 50 different ways - on an ongoing basis. It takes a lot of energy though to change a mindset and culture.
I heard someone comment recently that if these companies don't adapt, they're going to have a tough time attracting younger staff in future.
Finally - as much as what you went through in 2002 would have been frustrating and unpleasant - the new door that opened - gave us all your great marketing books, and provided inspiration to many of us trying to make our way as solopreneurs.
Thanks so much David!
My biggest hesitation is stepping out and risking something, not sure if it my reputation or security, but I feel like something is holding me back from being that agent of change. I know to see change and success there is certain risks involved, hopefully more encouragement will get me there!
Hi David - thanks for the inspiration today!
It takes courage to be an agent of change - and as you pointed out, it can be risky. If you're OK being lost in the crowd and mediocrity, so be it - there will always be sheep.
However, if you desire to be awesome, remarkable, or amazing - the only road that leads to this is being an agent of change ;)
Cheers to that David!
As being one whose motto is "I don't know what I am not supposed to do" I am constantly amazed when I see people locked into behaviors that limit their, of their company's, success. I wrote about it after seeing a video post about a guy dancing on a hill all by himself. Within a short time, the man was joined by an entire mob. He was the change agent, which I refer to as an instigator. I have since changed my title to "Chief Instigator." I have included the link to my blog which has the video in it.
Some great discussion here. Thanks.
Anne - While it was unpleasant at the time, I am glad I was fired in 2002.
I actually think complacency is the riskiest behavior of all. Change keeps us going forward,
... and it's much more interesting! :)
Hey David,
Just got back from the Marketing Sherpa Email Conference - Good Stuff! Thanks!
Especially after seeing some of the cool stuff going on, I came back to my desk with this quandary staring me in the face. I work at a behemoth, so I am left with 2 options and I am working it now.
Thanks for the perspective!
David - A great post. I'd hate to think that I or my fellow team members would ever be "looked down upon" for researching a new way of doing things regardless of where that research was taking place - Twitter, Facebook, library, bookstore, local restaurant, etc. I agree that we must break away from the status quo to find new levels of success and even new levels of risk. Thanks for challenging us to go beyond our borders.
David, Being an employer myself, I struggle with employee use of social media during the business day. Yes, we have sales and marketing personnel that this is an important part of their activities. I have other employees that should not be spending a lot of time in this area during the day. We all struggle with employee use of their cell phones, computers, and yes, the company phone in conducting personal business during the day. So, what I'm saying is that some rules on restricted activity are not bad in themselves. Almost all businesses need to be involved in the social media environment, just not all employees.
Stephen, I hear you. But I think what we are talking about here is trust. If you trust employees, you should not monitor the length of their lunch hour, when they arrive in the morning, how many coffee or cigarette breaks they take and whatnot.
And the difference is that social media can be a tool for all people to communicate. That customer service rep who spends so much time on Twitter? She just might be communicating with customers.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts..
I work for a company which uses a commodity. This commodity is a food stuff which is then produced into other food stuffs. The raw 'product' comes in and the employees handle it. The computer system the company uses is Microsoft based. After a little poking about online I discovered that the cost of using Microsoft based computing is outrageous. I've been using Debian and Ubuntu Linux for roughly two years now. I'm not yet a guru, though competent enough to realize you can do whatever you need for the company via Linux. And Linux for the most part eliminates a lot of overhead cost as it runs Free Software or Open Source. I discussed perhaps switching over with one of the apparent big bosses a little. As it stands he doubts the company would be moved to switch as it would require in his words, "a dynamite presentation" to convince them of the benefits. Currently, I'm not prepared for giving such presentation. I would eventually prefer getting Linux Professional Institute level One system's administrator certifications and possibly some business education. But it does cause a boggle for me. They keep me listed as a seasonal worker. I work full time hours but get no full time benefits. They offer educational help but I'm not sure of staying on with them after their treatment and seeing their attitude for about a year now. So, I duck and cover, keeping my 'back to it' literally. Right now, folks are happy to merely have a job. I would love to be an agent of change but the risk involved concerns family. You just don't place work before family. I don't see my current employment as a career. Careers are now non-existent. It's a job that helps pay bills, nothing more or less.
Ben - You've written an an interesting comment here. Maybe you should work in your company's marketing department. You've obviously plugged into social networks.
Thanks for firming my beliefs. Life is all about change. We need to stand up for good and not so things which life offers. Ducking the problems, denying them leads to no where. Lets accept the change and be part of the change.
I recently realised (and pardon for using s and not z, as that's the way we spell it in India) this two months back and since than I started taking social media seriously. And here I am visiting your blog and which I must say offers great value. Well done. I am surly going to follow you.
And you've definitely hit a nerve. Thanks for being transparent. So, David, what's the end of the story? We know what happened to you after you were sacked, but what happened to the company in terms of eventual adoption of the methods or technologies that you wanted to leverage?
Peter -- You tell me. Thomson Corporation is one of the biggest information companies in the world. Do you see them around?
Being a Change agent is difficult because it not only affects you but other people dear to you as well. The best thing that you could do is make sure that your ideas will benefit the company and people around you.
There's always a risk when you try to become a change agent and voice out your opinions, what really matters in the end though is that at least you tried to share the ideas that you have in mind and didn't play the role of a total pushover.

Juice Fasting: Reboot Your Body
What's in the book?
All about juice fasting and how to get started, including benefits, health regimens, and recipes for every type of juice fast!
- The Basics of Successful Juice Fasting
- Juice Fasting Regimens for Beginners and Beyond
- Regimens for the Experience Juice Faster
- Tips to Maintain the Healthy Gains You've Made
- Tips on Buying the Right Equipment
- Recipes
Juice fasting is a popular way to "detoxify," lose weight, or challenge your mind and body. Yoga practitioners from Yoga Journal magazine expound upon the benefits of fasting and its ability to rid our bodies of "[t]he old stuff, [ . . . ] acid, toxins, and mucus that build up in our digestive systems," leaving us "light, cleansed, and refreshed." Similarly, Mary Beth Janssen of Organic Spa Magazine wrote about how her 28-day cleanse with Goddess of Raw and Guru of Detox Kathryn Calabrese made her "feel amazing" and left her body "leaner, meaner and noticeably more flexible."
This book aims to integrate the positive aspects of juice fasting, while also including allowances (such as optional snacks of lean protein) that increase your chances of success. You will find an action plan for afterwards so that you can continue your healthy habits. The goal of this book is to help you lose weight in a sustainable manner and integrate positive health choices into your daily life.

At its core, juice fasting is a reduced-calorie diet, which is the primary reason for its effectiveness as a weight loss method. In this section I am going to talk about the basic, but essential, principles of successful weight loss and how they apply to juice fasting (or any weight loss regimen, for that matter). These principles are:
- Moderate caloric intake:
Ultimately, all successful weight loss regimens have this component. In order to use the energy from your fat reserves, you must take in fewer calories than you burn. On the flexible juice fasting regimens included in this book, you will be taking in anywhere from 1000 to 1400 calories a day in juices, lean protein accompaniments, and salads (to help you with the desire to chew).Limit intake of sugar and refined carbohydratesSugar and refined carbohydrates spike your appetite rather than satiate it because they are digested quickly by the body. The latest nutritional science has revealed that it is not fat that is the real culprit in weight gain, but rather foods that spike insulin levels (such as sugar, white bread, and other refined carbohydrates).
- Up your intake of produce (fruits and vegetables):
No surprises here! Instead of relying on refined starches and processed foods for quick but transient energy, turn to (preferably organic) produce. Fruits and veggies satisfy your body better than refined and processed carbs because they are what your body was naturally designed to eat.
- Eat protein with your carbs for enhanced satiation:
See the section on sugar and refined carbs above, or follow this link to an article by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition for more info on the power of protein to satisfy your hunger.
- Eat regularly to avoid steep crashes in blood sugar:
Eating every few hours ups your chances of success, because it keeps your appetite in check and reassures your body that it is not starving.

I have a problem with 'Ladies' as it sounds like a public convenience.
The force of public convenience would break the red-tape barrier like a cobweb.
It is a private enterprise, for public convenience, with certain monopolistic privileges at the incorporated towns.
Recent legislation had done little for the public convenience.
Undoubtedly this is a public convenience, but it seems to be getting a little away from original library purposes.
The new-order churches consult the public convenience, and place every body on a level, as it might be.
Nor was public convenience overlooked amid such magnificent creations.
So we do not collect taxes and lay them out for the public convenience, because there are other things we prefer to do.
There are now 350 pillar and wall letter boxes provided for public convenience.
The canonical prohibition of usury could not withstand the pressure of public convenience.

Mass. woman loses job after posting photo on Facebook
A Plymouth, Mass., woman whose "clowning around" photo at Arlington National Cemetery became the focus of online furor after she posted it on Facebook has resigned her job due to the controversy.
Lindsey Stone, a Plymouth, Mass., resident, posted a photo of herself on Facebook with her middle finger raised and pretending to shout next to a sign asking for "silence and respect" near the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. The photo was taken by a co-worker, Jamie Schuh, when the two were on a business trip to Washington, D.C., last month.
The posting ignited an online furor that included a "Fire Lindsey Stone" page on Facebook. Stone apologized through her father, Peter Stone, according to a Washington, D.C., TV station. Her father said she was clowning around and was reacting to the sign and not Arlington Cemetery.
According to the Boston Herald, Stone has resigned from the Cape Cod nonprofit, LIFE Inc., that she worked for and her resignation has been accepted. In a posting on its Facebook page, LIFE Inc., said both Stone and Schuh were no longer employees of the nonprofit.
"We deeply regret any disrespect to members of the military and their families," the LIFE Inc. post said. "The incident and publicity has been very upsetting to the learning disabled population we serve."
Both Stone and Schuh had been placed on unpaid leave while LIFE Inc., which helps adults with special needs, investigated.
The Boston Herald quoted her father as saying: "She's not happy at all. She's just devastated. She had no idea that she was going to hurt anybody. It was never her intention."

SibCode Unveils New Icon Maker for Mobile Software
SibCode announces the release of Icon Editor which is free icon maker software available for download from the SibCode website. Icon Editor offers end users versatility for creating and editing icons for the Windows operating system.
Icon Editor is user friendly and allows end users to easily create and edit PNG icons for mobile software in either standard or custom sizes and in color depths up to 16 million colors. Icon Editor has the capability to make icons with transparency and icons in 32-bit color depth with an 8-bit alpha channel for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.
Icon Editor is multipurpose software that offers the versatility to create buttons for websites, paint images with a pen, brush, airbrush, ellipse, rectangle, line, and curve tools. You can also use the software to roll, shift, and rotate images as well as import and export .ico, .png, .xpm, .xbm, and .icpr formats. Adding shadows or making highlighted or disabled versions of the same icon are easy with Icon Editor. It only takes a few clicks to add a translucent or opaque shadow, modify opacity, colors, and gamma.
Disabled icons are typically grayscale, so there is a tool for that as well. Tools for smoothing, inverting and colorizing images are also available. The resulting image can be saved in .ico, .icpr, .bmp, .jpeg or .png formats. Icon Editor can also convert Mac icons into Windows format. With Icon Editor it is possible to test the icons for appearance and functionality as well as copy and paste images into other applications.
The 4.1 version of Icon Editor offers the capability to order stock icons directly from the software program. When looking for icon images to use for a website or software applications you usually face the dilemma of costly development and royalty obstacles. Enterprises that have the capital to employ graphic artists and designers are able to get their own unique icons done onsite.
For smaller businesses it is necessary to outsource the making of icons to graphic designers who command a hefty fee to create unique icons for websites and software applications. The downside of this is that there is risk involved with not getting the graphics drawn to specs and other problems and it is important to choose carefully if you decide to choose this route.
The capability to create icons or edit stock icons saves smaller businesses time, money, and the possibility of getting a result that does not meet expectations. This also eliminates issues with royalties, copyrights, and the risk of having your icons look like those on other software applications while adding uniqueness and individuality to your business.
Icon Editor helps startups and small businesses create a professional looking image without breaking the bank. You can choose to create your own or obtain stock icons which you can edit and use at your discretion. It also helps to speed the development of software applications and removes the uncertainty of the appearance of the final product.
To assist with the use of Icon Editor, SibCode recently released the new Sib Icon Catalog. This is a free Windows tool to help webmasters, Web and software developers find and purchase ready-made graphics. Indexing hundreds of royalty-free icon collections and thousands of tagged individual icons, Sib Icon Catalog makes it easy to locate, preview, and buy icons for almost any project without having to spend hours searching. All of the icons in the catalog are carefully indexed and tagged making it possible to find just the right icon in minutes.
With the free Icon Editor and access to millions of royalty-free stock images which are available in numerous formats, sizes, and color depths, all of the guesswork and uncertainty is removed from creating professional and unique icons for software applications. Icon Editor can be downloaded free from http://www.free-

Hon RODNEY HIDE (Minister of Local Government) Link to this
I move, That the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill be now read a third time. The purpose of this bill is to improve transparency, accountability, and financial management in local government. Before the development of this bill, the Local Government Act 2002 contained few mechanisms to apply the principles of transparency and accountability, which it seeks to promote. Although it resulted in a lot of information being made available by councils, it was not always easily accessible to ratepayers or easily understood.
The accountability mechanisms are retrospective, so do not provide ratepayers with any effective ways to control their councils. With this bill, I hope to change all that. It includes a number of new measures to improve transparency and accountability. Having a financial strategy, for example, makes transparent the overall effect of council proposals on rates, debt, investments, and services. It sets limits on rates and borrowing, which creates an accountability mechanism. Further transparency and accountability are then provided through the pre-election report. This will compare actual rates, rates increases, and borrowing and returns on investments with the limits and targets set out in the financial strategy. Voters will receive this and other information about their council's finances and proposed projects at the time they are best able to hold members to account—the local election.
There is more focus on financial information and management. A basic understanding of council finances is crucial if people are to ask better questions, or indeed any questions, of their council. Not everyone is an accountant, which is why having plain English financial information and standardised reporting is so important. Standardised information is particularly useful for infrastructure services. The ability to fund investment in infrastructure is the biggest factor affecting councils' financial sustainability and is where the most money is spent.
Providing ratepayers with comparative data on the levels of service for things like roads, water, and waste water helps to inform them about what they are getting for their money. It also helps them to ask questions about their council's performance and the issues they are facing, relating to these services. The Government takes seriously infrastructure and its important links with economic growth. Ensuring councils provide good information about their infrastructure assets and services is essential so that neglect does not hinder economic performance.
The proposals in this bill can go only so far in making a difference, though. What happens next is up to councils, individuals, and communities. The bill provides for better quality information, so there are more transparent processes for making decisions about strategic issues. Councils will be left to establish and run these processes for themselves. However, no one can force ratepayers to take advantage of this new information or to be more actively engaged in local debates and decision making. It is up to them to choose to participate. On that note, I do not think fears that there will be a lack of consultation in the future are warranted.
Community engagement is not just about making a submission as part of a formal consultation process. People should be encouraged and enabled to make their views known whenever they like. Having better information about a council's finances and proposed projects, about how much services will cost to deliver, and about what they are getting for their money—and being able to compare this with information from other councils—will put ratepayers in a better position to put their views across to their council more clearly and more comprehensively. It should mean that when consultation does occur, the public will be in a stronger position to participate. It should mean that when councils are required to make themselves aware of, and have regard to, the views of communities, as the Act requires, they can generally give effect to this principle.
During the course of developing and enacting this bill, much has been made of the concern that it encourages the privatisation of water and other council services. The bill does not privatise anything. The councils and their ratepayers will make their own decisions. If at some point in the future they decide that some private involvement in their services is the right thing for them, that it is the best way for them to pay for these services and keep them affordable for local people, then that is up to them. If the bill makes it a bit easier for them to make these decisions, then I say it is great. If they do not make any change at all, then that is their choice too.
Likewise, if councils want only to provide so-called core services and their communities are happy with that, then that is up to them. If councils want to provide more, and they have community and ratepayer support, that is their choice, as well. But ratepayers have a right to challenge the council if it wants to spend their money on something that is not a core responsibility, particularly if it might take priority over other more essential local services. Having the core service provisions in the Act will help to guide councils and communities when they are debating these issues. That, along with the financial strategy and other new information, will empower ratepayers to question council decisions and to discuss trade-offs on a more equal footing.
As I have mentioned throughout my speech, this bill is about choice. It is about giving councils and communities more flexibility to choose to deliver local services in ways that are right for them. It is about giving ratepayers better information about their councils so they can choose what kinds of services they want and how they want to pay for them, to choose how and when to be involved in decisions, and how and when they need to hold councils to account for those decisions.
Councils will start developing their first long-term plans using the provisions of this bill early next year. I hope councils and ratepayers will choose to take advantage of the new opportunities the bill introduces. I thank the House for its support.
PHIL TWYFORD (Labour) Link to this
Labour members oppose the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill with every bone in our bodies. The bill claims that it will increase the transparency and accountability of local government. In fact, it will do the opposite. Like all of the local government bills the Minister of Local Government has brought to the House in the last 2 years, it will undermine our public institutions and undermine our democratic process.
We have talked about water privatisation a lot, and no matter how much screeching we hear from the Government backbenchers about whether this bill allows, in fact, water privatisation, New Zealanders will not be fooled by the blatant lack of transparency that the Minister of Local Government has displayed in bringing the bill to the House. The bill will allow long-term contracts of up to 35 years for private sector operations to control our water supply. Section 137(4)(d) in clause 32 explicitly allows the sale of pre-existing water infrastructure as part of those long-term contracts. It is not, as the Associate Minister tried to argue this morning, simply something that will give more options to cash-strapped small rural councils. This bill will allow the billion-dollar water monopoly set up under Rodney Hide's super-city in Auckland to be contracted out to United Water for periods of up to 35 years, including the private ownership of pre-existing water infrastructure.
The ratepayers and the citizens of Auckland could be given no say, under this bill. At the same time as it allows water infrastructure to be sold to private sector interests, it also does away with the provisions in our local government law that would guarantee citizens the right to be consulted before their assets and their services are either corporatised or contracted out. The combination of those two things will imperil our public ownership or ratepayer-owned assets and resources. We are talking about water specifically, but the same principle applies to all sorts of other strategic assets. Does anybody other than the deluded members opposite—
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Eric Roy) Link to this
—believe seriously that the privatisation of our water supply will not result in the inevitable price hikes that people have seen that have accompanied other botched privatisation initiatives that we have seen over the last few years? We know that if we hand over to the private sector a natural monopoly like water supply, it will almost inevitably end up in foreign hands. The guaranteed profits that will flow from private ownership of a natural monopoly will flow overseas. That money will go out of the pockets of New Zealand ratepayers and householders and straight into the pockets of overseas-owned companies. Does anybody believe that if we hand over resources of this scale—a billion-dollar water monopoly in Auckland—to the private sector, it will not result in huge corporate salaries further gouging the pockets of the ratepayer? This is not a good idea.
I remind members opposite that the most recent independent opinion polls on this issue have shown that 80 percent of New Zealanders are opposed to any privatisation of our water system. It is a matter of choice, as the Minister pointed out. When New Zealanders go to the polls next year, they will be mindful of what the Minister did to Auckland local government, they will be mindful of what the Hon Nick Smith did to democracy in Canterbury, and they will be mindful of this bill opening up their municipal water supply to privatisation, and they will make a choice at the polls. This Government is gutting our local government public institutions and the democratic process, and those two things go hand in hand. They are taking the voice away from ordinary people, and they are opening the door to private control and ownership of assets and resources that New Zealanders have built up over generations through their rates. New Zealanders will not forget that.
There are other obnoxious aspects to this bill that Labour members have opposed steadfastly throughout this whole process. One of them is the idea of core services that this Minister, whose party currently commands about 2 percent in the polls, is able to impose—
Hon Clayton Cosgrove Link to this
Not that much.
Is it not 2 percent? He is able to impose an ideological and arbitrary list of core services that he defines as core services. Nobody else does. Hardly a soul turned up at the Local Government and Environment Committee to say that it is a good idea; 98 percent of the submitters who came along said it is a lousy idea. They said that we should either put their issues and services in the list or not have it at all. The implications of what that list could mean is that a rural community, for example, that wants to provide free premises for a general practitioner service so that it can have a doctor in its rural community could be vulnerable to claims, through either the annual planning process or normal political debate, that it is not a core service—
Or a legal challenge.
—or, in fact, a legal challenge—and therefore it should not be engaging in it. This idea tilts the playing field away from the democratic process that allows citizens to decide in conjunction with their elected representatives what constitutes a core service.
This bill also makes a number of cuts to the obligations currently on the councils to consult their citizens. It allows the councils to contract out public services to the private sector. It allows them to corporatise their assets and operations by shifting them to council-owned companies without consulting their citizens. That is a breach of people's fundamental, democratic rights. It constrains the whole process of setting community outcomes, setting the high-level goals that go into our councils' long-term plans. Under Rodney Hide's bill, a council could make up the community outcomes out of thin air, or out of the last thing someone said to one of its members on the street or in the supermarket. The councils are not required to consult the community in setting those outcomes.
The bill also restricts the community outcomes unduly by requiring that they can only be things that the council itself can deliver on. Many of the most pressing issues for local communities, such as crime, safety, alcohol, and pokies—any number of those issues—cannot be made a community outcome, because the councils do not have access to all the levers to solve those problems. That is yet another example of this Government and this Minister taking democratic rights away from New Zealanders.
They have gutted the consultation process for decision making about many of the important things that go into the annual plan. Currently, there is a four-stage process that we have admitted was overdue for streamlining and could have easily been reduced down, but this Government has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Now there is no principle-based mechanism that requires consultation on these important decisions. I predict that many of the Government's natural supporters and voters in leafy suburbs up and down this country, who are the people who are most demanding of their local authorities, will blame the National Government for taking away their democratic rights.
We have seen three bits of legislation that imposed an unpopular, Rodney Hide - inspired super-city on our country's biggest city. Most of that legislation was pushed through this House under urgency. We saw the sacking of Environment Canterbury by the Hon Nick Smith, which was, again, done under urgency. This bill is the third leg of the treble. It guts our local government legislation, and it hands over our resources to privatisation and corporatisation. That is the legacy of the Minister of Local Government, who set out with such grand aspirations to be the "Minister of Ratepayers". This is what he has done: he has weakened and undermined our public institutions, and taken away the voice of New Zealanders over things that they justifiably have a right to a say on and to be consulted on. He comes to this House trumpeting transparency and accountability, but everything about the way that he has implemented this legislation and implemented his policies speaks of the opposite. It is not transparency and accountability; it is the opposite. The public of New Zealand will hold him and this Government accountable for it.
CHRIS AUCHINVOLE (National—West Coast - Tasman) Link to this
I am a little saddened to hear the desultory speech from the previous speaker, Phil Twyford, who has been at least involved in the full process of the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill. I think he could have done better than he did. However, it was comforting to hear Shane Jones speaking at an earlier stage. He is a loquacious speaker.

David Guetta recently played at the world renowned Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium over the past weekend, and seemed to be having a hard time keeping a smile on his face. In the following video, Guetta stares off into space while he's turning knobs on his board and appears to be either under the influence or just plain bored.
Music Times reported on Guetta's bizarre behavior, saying the following:
"It's not clear if Guetta was simply exhausted, or tripping on molly, or coming to the realization that he's absolutely sick of what he does for a living, but either way, it's a fascinating watch."
Even though the crowd doesn't seem to mind Guetta's space out, the video of him completely lost in his own world is already making the rounds in cyberspace. Don't be surprised if memes and gifs pop up of the French-born EDM musician's performance, or lack thereof, at Tomorrowland music festival.
In related news, Tomorrowland music festival drew in record breaking crowds, even catching the attention of Billboard magazine. This year would mark the 10th anniversary of the global dance party, which has included David Guetta as one of the main attractions for several of those ten years. Some other notable performers/DJs at the festival included: Teki Latex, Avicii, Hardwell, Tiesto, Gary Beck, Steve Aoki, and Paul van Dyk.
People traveled from all over the world to converge on the global dance festival. India, Australia, Russia, Germany, Chile, Canada, Spain, and even South Korea represented the crowd at Tomorrowland. BBC News reports one excited electronic music fan from Brazil as having the following to say about the Tomorrowland lineup:
"This is a dream come true, I feel like I've jumped inside my television because in Brazil my friends and I would always watch Tomorrowland's videos and we always wanted to come here. I'm living a dream right now."
More than 300,000 electronic music fans attended the three day long music event. Extra tickets were even released and sold out within the hour. BBC News also reports that the organizers of Tomorrowland intend on taking the concept to the United States. Debby Wilmsen, a press agent for the festival, told BBC the following:
"Now we have a new festival in the US called TomorrowWorld. It's all gone very fast for us."
TomorrowWorld will be in Septemberm and is a three-day festival beginning on the 26th and ending the 28th. This Tomorrowland spin-off will be held in Atlanta, Georgia this year.
