"Wae? You seem not excited today." Eunhyuk said as he was looking at his hoobae, Hyoyeon. The blonde girl just smiled while she was shaking her head. "Aniya oppa. I'm just tired with all of my homework. That's all." Answered Hyoyeon. Eunhyuk was still looking at her. He didn't believe her so easily. He knew her quite well, and he believed that she wasn't ok at all!
The practice's room door was open and Donghae came into the room. Hyoyeon looked at him sadly, she remembered about what she saw in the park yesterday. Donghae and YoonA were… KISSING…
"Aigoo, where have you been fishy? We should start practice for our dance like a hour ago. But you just come late. AGAIN!" Eunhyuk said with an annoyed tone. He felt annoyed because Donghae came late to their practice for the several times.
Donghae laughed to see Eunhyuk's reaction. "Haha, relax ok! I'm here now, so we can start the practice now." He said with a smile on his bright face. And for once again, Hyoyeon felt nervous to see his smile like that. Hyoyeon's heart was beating so fast until she was afraid if Donghae or Eunhyuk would hear it.
"Kajja Hyo-ah!"
"Ah… ne."
'Donghae-ya, why I can't erase this feeling? I think I'm going to love you deeper than before if I don't try to erase this feeling.'
(Boyoung's POV)
I'm having dinner with Siwon oppa right now. But the situation between us seems so far from 'Romantic'. The situation is so awkward and cold. Siwon oppa doesn't say anything during the dinner. I know that it must be his family who forced him to having dinner with me, because I'm pretty sure that he won't ever want to ask me for having dinner together. He hates me, remember?
I wonder what will happen to us if this situation keeps continue. I mean continue until we're married. Our family already made a lot of plans for both of us, me and Siwon oppa. They even already talk about the marriage. To be honest, I'm totally happy about it. Because I love Siwon oppa, more than you could imagine. But the thing is he doesn't love me. So, eventhough in the end we should marry it will just useless because Siwon oppa will never love me, not even a little.
I immediately look away when Siwon oppa caught me who was staring at him. He looks at me with his cold and sharp eyes. Seriously, it makes my heart beating so fast, until I feel it will comes out from my chest right away.
"Wae?" He asks with his cold tone. The tone that he only use when he's talking to me. I just shake my head. "Aniya oppa." I answer with a low tone.
And yeah, he's back to his work, eating his food. Not even caring about the girl infront of him. Ahh, sometimes I feel tired with this kind of situation. I really want to end it. But unfortunately I can't. Because I just realize that, I can't live without him…
We're just arrived in front of my house. Yeah, after the dinner we decided to go home. To tell the truth, I still want to be with him. But yeah you know exactly what happen between us, right?
"Oppa gomawo for today. Nan…"
"We're here. Get out!" He says with a cold tone. He didn't even let me to finish my word. I look at him sadly. "Arasso." I reply. He just silent while his eyes are still looking at the road in front of us.
I close my open mouth with my right hand. I just can't believe about what just I did! I KISSED SIWON OPPA on his cheek! Well, it maybe just on cheek but it still surprising. Not only me who's surprised with that. Siwon oppa seems surprised. Without saying anything, I immediately get out from his car and run into my house.
"Aish jinjja! Babo Boyoung! Neo jeongmal baboya! How could I do that to him?" I mumble to myself. My hand keeps hitting my head. I feel worry now. I'm worry if he hates me more than before just because of that.
I don't know why the hell I did that to him. It seemed like my body moved without any order.
Ottohke? I don't have any courage to face him anymore.
(Boyoung's POV End)
_AT SOOYOUNG's HOUSE_
Choi and Cho family were busily talking about their son and daughter's engaged. They seemed really interesting about this topic. Why? That's because they already made a plan from a very start to pair their children up. Sooyoung couldn't help but smile during the dinner. She felt extremely happy and also relieved. Yeah, because sooner or later, Kyuhyun will be hers.
It was differently from Kyuhyun. When everyone was talking happily, but he just silent and didn't do anything during the dinner. He just looked at everybody in front of him with no expression. He felt empty inside his heart. For once again, he couldn't do anything to fight for his own life. It seemed like everything was under his parent control. And all he could do was follow their order eventhough he didn't like it.
Sooyoung who was realized about Kyuhyun's flat expression, held his hand while she was smiling widely. "Oppa.." Sooyoung whispered with a spoiled tone. Kyuhyun took his hand away from her. And it made Sooyoung pouted. She couldn't think anything to make him love him. She already use every way to make him love her, but it just useless. It just made him hate her even more.
"So, do you guys agree with the date of engagement? We can still change it if you want to." Said Mr.Cho, Kyuhyun's father, to Sooyoung and Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun just silent.
"Ne. Gwenchana ahjussi. Sooner is the best." Sooyoung said with a small on her face. Kyuhyun turned his head to face Sooyoung. He looked at brunette girl beside him with no expression. Deep inside his heart, he really wanted to shout out loud and tell everyone that he didn't want to engaged! He wanted to take a control of his own life.
But unfortunately, Kyuhyun didn't dare to do it…
"Ok, then everything is settled."
(Hyoyeon's POV)
"Waeyo? Are you waiting for someone, Donghae-ya?" I ask Donghae because I see that he's looking around, like he's waiting for someone. And I wonder who's the person that Donghae is waiting. Donghae takes a seat beside of me.
"Ne, I'm waiting for YoonA. She said that she wanted to stop by and see our dance rehearsal."
"Oh." I force a smile to him. Ah, I should have known that he's waiting for YoonA. Who else can make him waiting except YoonA? Because from what I knew, Donghae doesn't like waiting. Who likes it anyway?
"Donghae-ya." Someone calls Donghae with a soft tone. Me and Donghae turn our head to the door. Because the voice comes from the door. And there she is, Standing infront of the door with a smile on her face. She looks… feminine and elegant. Not forget to mention pretty. She's really Donghae's type.
She's like the whole packedge. Unlike me…
Donghae walks toward YoonA, "Why so late? I thought you wouldn't come." He says. YoonA smiles softly, "Mianhe. There's something that I should take care first."
"Gwenchana. The important thing is you're here now." Donghae says with a soft tone. I bite my lips to hold back the pain. Yeah, it's hurting me to see them like that. Why do I have to feel like this?
Donghae holds YoonA's hand and he brings her in front of me. Like it or not I should pretend like I'm so glad to meet this girl, YoonA. "Annyeong Hyoyeon-ssi." YoonA greets me. "Annyeong YoonA-ssi."
"Ok, I hope both of you can get along together. YoonA-ya, now sit and watch your awesome guy dancing!"
YoonA laughs. "Aigoo, you're so confident Hae-ya."
Donghae back to dancing with Eunhyuk and some other people, while I'm here.. sitting side to side with this girl. I take a glance to the girl next to me. She's wearing a pink dress with a white cardingan. She's wearing a pink flat shoes, and her hair is really pretty.
I bite my lips and I look at myself.
'Huh, I'm nothing to compared with her…'
And now, like it or not I should admit that…
She's the perfect girl for Donghae…
(Hyoyeon's POV End)
"Ya, neo gwenchana?" Asked one of Boyoung's friend, Jihyun. She felt weird when she saw Boyoung wasn't cheerful like usual and she also seemed nervous.
"Jihyun-ah, ottohke?" Boyoung asked with a desperate tone, making her bestfriends felt more curious about her attitude. "Ottohke wae?" Jihyun asked while she was looking at Boyoung. Gayoon and Jiyoon also paid attention to Boyoung.
"I…i…" Boyoung couldn't continue her sentence. She felt doubt rather to tell it to her friends or not. But then she decided to tell it to her friends. Who knows if she tell it to her friends then she will feel more relieve.
"You what?" Asked Gayoon.
"I… I kissed Siwon oppa on the cheek last night." Boyoung said quickly, barely taking breath. She said it with one breath. Her friends, Gayoon, Jiyoon, and Jihyun couldn't help but felt shock to hear Boyoung's statement. It hard for them to believe it. Because they knew that Boyoung is a shy girl type, so there's no way she would do that. But hearing it from Boyoung's mouth made them believe eventhough hard.
"No way…"
Her friends couldn't hide their surprised. They were still looking at her with disbelief stares.
"Ya geumanhe! Don't look at me like that."
"Mianhe. It just hard to believe that you…"
"Ara! I'm such a babo!" Boyoung said with a sad tone as she was bowing her head. "Now I'm sure that Siwon oppa hates me even more than before." She sighed heavily when she remember about it.
Gayoon patted her hand. "Aniya, don't say like that! Beside, I think it was a normal thing to do since you're both are couple."
"But he doesn't love me, remember?"
"But you have to fight for your love." Jiyoon said.
"Or leave him, and find another guy." Added Jihyun. Yeah, this girl often told Boyoung to give up and find another guy. Because she felt sad everytime she saw how cold Siwon to Boyoung.
Hearing that again from Jihyun made Boyoung smile sadly. "I can't. I love him too much." She mumbled softly. "Eventhough he never look at me and never notice me, but I still love him. Because I know that he's the one for me and I'm the one for him."
Boyoung and her friends came into the café near their campus. While they were looking for a table, without on purpose Jihyun saw Siwon. He was sitting near the big window. But the thing is…
He wasn't alone!
He was with a girl, a pretty one. Jihyun immediately held Boyoung's hand and whispered to her. "Is that Siwon oppa?" She whispered while her eyes was looking at the handsome guy, Siwon. Boyoung followed Jihyun's eyes. And there he is! He was talking with a girl. They seemed really close, because they were laughing and smiling to each other. That made Boyoung's heart hurt because Siwon never treat her nicely like that. She felt jealous.
"Nugu? Do you know her, Youngie-ya?" Gayoon couldn't help but ask to Boyoung about it. Boyoung just shook her head as the answer. But actually, without waiting for Boyoung's answer, Gayoon and also the others girls were sure that Boyoung didn't know that girl. They could see by her reaction.
"Kaja! I don't feel like eating anymore." Boyoung walked out from the café, followed by her friends.
'Who's that girl, oppa? Why do you can treat her nicely? Why can't you treat me like the way you treat her?'

Former Gov. Jim Hunt: Time To Show Real Respect for NC Teachers
Former Governor Jim Hunt is out with a new op-ed in the News and Observer, renewing his call for a long term commitment to bring teacher salaries up to the national average. In the column, Governor Hunt criticizing the half measures taken by the current legislature that gave veteran teachers almost no raise at all. Here's his op-ed,
Earlier this year, I called for a state commitment to raise teacher pay to the national average in the next four years. It was a bold proposal, but that's what leaders do. Since that time, teachers got a raise, but what they didn't get was a commitment. State lawmakers need to go back to the drawing board if they are going to show teachers that they are valued.
I recently met a veteran public school teacher who moved to North Carolina in the late 1990s because our state made a serious long-term commitment to invest in public education. Central to our commitment was not only providing a fair and competitive pay structure for teachers, but we also reduced class sizes, added accountability, hired teaching assistants and incentivized both professional development and student achievement.
The result? North Carolina led the nation in math score improvement on the National Assessment of Education Progress.
Unfortunately this teacher and dozens of others that I have spoken to recently almost uniformly say they would not have pursued teaching in North Carolina had they known what was to come. It's not just poor pay, but working conditions for teachers have deteriorated with rising class sizes, fewer textbooks and supplies, cuts in teaching assistants and political leadership that too often disparages teachers.
While both political parties deserve to share some of the blame, the fact is that as our economy improves, the current state leadership continues to keep our public schools on a bare subsistence diet and makes education policies that are an affront to teachers, especially experienced ones.
Teachers are a smart bunch. The recent pay raises have been sold as 7 percent – but that's not what many teachers are seeing in their paychecks. Young teachers are getting a modest raise, but those veteran teachers who have worked and sacrificed to give our children a good education have seen the longevity pay they counted on abolished. And the new salary schedule treats them very unfairly. A teacher in Clayton wrote that she got a raise of only $47.60 per month. One Wake County teacher told WRAL-TV that when she saw her increase was only 1.39 percent she "sat down and cried."
Not surprisingly, many North Carolina teachers are voting against education cuts with their feet. States like Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas are actively recruiting them. (The Houston School District just hired 28.) Other teachers are retiring early, and many top teachers are going into better paying jobs in business and science.
I think we should be especially alarmed by the message current policies and low teacher pay is sending to the young people of North Carolina who should be our "future teachers."
Enrollment in Schools of Education on our University of North Carolina campuses has dropped precipitously. I received my undergraduate degree in the School of Education at North Carolina State University. Over the last several years new enrollment in my alma mater's program has gone down every single year – a drop of 52 percent in four years.
At UNC-Greensboro (my teacher mother's alma mater) total undergraduate enrollment in the School of Education has gone down 44 percent in the last six years.
Where will our future teachers come from? Will we even have enough to teach our kids?
Once North Carolina had a Teaching Fellows Program that attracted "the best and brightest" of our students with four-year scholarships if they promised to teach for four years or more. Now the legislature has abolished it.
I believe the status of our public schools and teachers is the No. 1 concern of North Carolina's resident today. Some say we don't have the resources and can't do any better. I know that we can.
Republican Gov. Jim Holshouser believed we could when he supported the establishment of public kindergarten in 1973 and raised teacher pay to 27th in the nation.
In 1996 I campaigned for governor on a platform of raising teacher pay to the national average. In 1997 we built a bipartisan coalition with support from Democrats and Republicans, business leaders, education advocates and teachers to support the Excellent Schools Act. And over the next four years we increased teacher pay by almost 33 percent, raising pay to the national average and 20th in the country.
It is my hope that when the General Assembly convenes in 2015, there will be a new sense of cooperation and a firm commitment to do three things:
First, respect veteran teachers by restoring longevity pay and giving them the minimum 5.5 percent raise they were sold.
Second, increase salaries for all teachers, moving North Carolina to the national average in the next four years.
Third, improve working conditions for our teachers and send the message that North Carolina values its teachers.
That will show the real respect that North Carolina teachers deserve.
Faye PressleyThank you Former Gov Hunt for taking the time to voice your opinion in this matter. You were so much appreciated in the Governor's Seat and now to make these statements in behalf of our teachers and the education of the children in North Carolina. We have got to bring our teachers and students up to standards.

 Sincerely
 Faye Pressley,
Alton SuttonThank you so very much for your precious and appropriate comments. I feel the state legislature, as I think most teachers feel, they do not respect public education teachers and they are trying to privatize education so a few people can make money from education. These are people who are in it for profit and not to educate the students.
 Again, your support is extremely appreciated.

India wants to become a manufacturing hub - to meet its domestic demand and to export to the world. Companies already producing there are able to expand their markets, reach new segments and at the same time utilize what many do not have at home - manpower and enough engineers. Results are stunning and the quality is world class for both the more complex production sites as well as for the assembly plants.

Consolidation — Comprehensive project
The objectives of this project were to develop a single consolidation model applicable to all entities that would be based on the concept of control and to improve disclosures of consolidated and unconsolidated entities (replacing both IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and SIC-12, Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities).
Current status of the project
The IASB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, on May 12, 2011.
As a result of feedback received during the project, the IASB agreed to undertake a supplementary project that seeks to exempt eligible investment entities (such as mutual funds, unit trusts, and similar entities) from the requirement to consolidate subsidiaries and instead requires the use of fair value to measure those investments.

Spring Run-Off Delayed With Cool Weather Trend
This has been a strange year with regard to spring run-off!Most of the state's freestones are experiencing lower than normal flows (based on historic data) due to cool-weather trends. Don't get me wrong–rivers like the Colorado and Gunnison are flowing over 2000 cfs, but this is still lower than they should be this time of year!
The majority of Colorado'stailwaters are flowing lower than expected too, as government agencies like Denver Water try and fill their stillwater impoundments to supply downstream demand later this year. Cheesman Reservoir is normally spilling by now, but the 80,000 acre-feet reservoir is not full. Currently the reservoir 4200 acre feet from full pool.
The State's snow pack is above average and snow continues to fall in the high country. In the past 24 hours, snow fall was measured in feet, not inches, in the high country. The snowfeilds just need to manifest themselves into water before our streams experience a "normal" spring run-off.
Trust me…its coming! My guess is a normal run-off begins this next week as temperatures statewide will be in the 60-70's, with nighttime lows in the mid 30's. Once the nighttime lows stay consistently above freezing, snow melt becomes a major factor on unregulated streams. Inflows above our reservoirs will rise too, as feeder streams begin to swell.
Until then, get out and enjoy some fabulous fishing! Dry fly enthusiasts are experiencing epic blue-winged olive hatches with the low flows! Its hard to go wrong with a size 20 Mathew's Sparkle Dun to fool these surface feeders.
Tailwaters are your best bet during the high-water season. They remain fishable under a wide range of conditions. Currently, most of the tailraces statewide are low and clear, as the stillwater impoundments above are not full yet.
Here is an up-to-date report river on some of the most popular fishing destinations in Colorado. It highlights some of Colorado's best freestones and tailwater fisheries. Ifyou want further stream info visit http://www.dwr.state.co.us/SurfaceWater/Default.aspx

"Wonderwall" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher. The song was produced by Owen Morris and Gallagher for their second studio album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995). According to Gallagher, "Wonderwall" describes "an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself".[2]
The song was released as the fourth single from the album in October 1995. "Wonderwall" topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand. The song reached the top ten on another ten charts, including Canada and the United States at number 5 and 8, respectively, as well as number two on both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart; the single was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
It remains one of the band's most popular songs; on 9 June 2013, it was voted number one on Australian alternative music radio station Triple J's "20 Years of the Hottest 100".[3] Many notable artists have also covered the song, such as rock singer Ryan Adams in 2003, folk singer Cat Power and jazz musician Brad Mehldau in 2008.[4]

The song was originally titled "Wishing Stone". Noel Gallagher told NME in 1996, that "Wonderwall" was written for his then-girlfriend (later wife), Meg Mathews.[5][6] However, after Gallagher divorced Mathews in 2001,[7] he said the song was not about Mathews: "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it, and how do you tell your Mrs it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself".[2]
Recording and composition[edit]
The song was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, during a two-week recording of the Morning Glory album in May 1995. Owen Morris produced the song in a half-day along with Noel Gallagher using a technique known as "brickwalling" to intensify the sound of the song.[1]
Liam Gallagher served as lead singer on "Wonderwall" after Noel had given him a choice between "Wonderwall" or another single from the album, "Don't Look Back in Anger".[6]
"Wonderwall" is written in the key of F♯ minor and is set in common time with a moderate dance groove.[8] Gallagher's voice ranges from an E3 to an F♯4 in the song.[8]
Live performances[edit]

Noel debuted the song on UK TV, backstage at Glastonbury and broadcast on Channel 4 on 24 June 1995; the song wasn't performed by the band during their headline performance the night before.
In August 2002, Noel changed the arrangement of his live performances of the song to a style he admitted was heavily influenced by Ryan Adams's cover of the song; that arrangement has persisted through his most recent live performances of the song, but prior to the band's 2008-9 tour, the original arrangement was used for live performances of the song by the full band with Liam Gallagher on vocals and electric guitars. During the 2008-9 tour, the band returned to performing the song in a semi-acoustic form, in an arrangement closely resembling the album version.
Music video[edit]
The music video original sequence by Johanna Bautista (Sweetheart Massive Attack) to the song was filmed by director Nigel Dick with his regular collaborator DOP Ali Asad in the relatively brief period when bassist Paul McGuigan quit the band due to nervous exhaustion; Scott McLeod came in to replace him.[9]
The song won British Video of the Year at the 1996 Brit Awards.
There are two versions of the video; one posted by Vevo that has reached over 290 million views, and one posted by themselves that has reached 246 million views for a total of 536 million views[10], making it the most popular Oasis video on the Internet.
Cover art[edit]
The sleeve artwork was inspired by the paintings of the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, and was shot on Primrose Hill in north London by Michael Spencer Jones; the hand holding the frame is that of art director Brian Cannon. The original idea was to have Liam in the frame before Noel vetoed that idea whilst the shoot was taking place.[11] Instead a female figure was deemed necessary and Anita Heryet, a Creation Records employee, was asked to stand in as cover star for the shot.[12]
- Liam Gallagher – vocals, tambourine
- Noel Gallagher – acoustic and electric guitars, piano, bass guitar
- Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs – mellotron, acoustic guitar
- Alan White – drums
Chart and sales performance[edit]
"Wonderwall" reached the No. 2 spot in both Ireland and the United Kingdom in October/November 1995. In the UK, the song was held off the top spot by "I Believe" by Robson & Jerome, it finished at No. 10 in the end of year charts for 1995 and No. 26 in the end of decade charts for the 1990s in the UK. It has sold 1.34 million copies in the UK as of October 2016, making it Oasis' biggest selling song in their homeland[13] and the third biggest seller never to top the UK Singles Chart.[14]
In the U.S., it peaked at number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart for a then-unprecedented ten weeks, and reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1996; their biggest hit and their only top 40 hit on the chart (many of their songs were ineligible to chart there, but did make the Hot 100's Airplay chart). "Wonderwall" also proved to be a major hit in Australia and New Zealand claiming the No. 1 spot in both countries.

|The Mike Flowers Pops singles chronology
British band The Mike Flowers Pops released an easy listening version that reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart—just as the Oasis original had done two months earlier—during Christmas 1995. On New Year's Day 1996, it earned a Silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry for sales greater than 200,000 copies; this cover also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Ireland and Sweden. Noel Gallagher mentioned that when BBC Radio 1 premiered the song, they jokingly claimed that they had found "the original version of Wonderwall". Gallagher, who had been in America at the time, was surprised to be asked by one of his record company's executives if he had actually written the song.[71]
The Mike Flowers Pops cover was used in the 1997 film The Jackal, and also in the 1999 film Superstar.

Notable cover versions[edit]
Ryan Adams' version, first performed in 2001, and later released in 2003 on Love Is Hell pt. 1 EP, was well received by Noel Gallagher.[82] It was featured in The O.C. episode "The Heartbreak". It was featured in the final scenes of the Smallville Season 3 episode "Velocity" and the first season of the Israeli documentary series Couchsurfers. In an interview with Spin, Gallagher said "I think Ryan Adams is the only person who ever got that song right."[82]
"Wonderwall" was featured in the popular mashup "Boulevard of Broken Songs" mixed by Party Ben in late 2004, which also contained parts of both Travis's "Writing to Reach You" and Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". In late 2006, Gallagher accused Green Day of 'ripping off' "Wonderwall", saying "If you listen, you'll find it is exactly the same arrangement as "Wonderwall", they should have the decency to wait until I am dead [before stealing my songs]. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy".[83]
Paul Anka covered the song on his swing album Rock Swings, released in 2005.
American rapper Jay Z often has his crowds sing "Wonderwall" after his song "Jockin' Jay-Z",[84] which includes a reference to Noel Gallagher's criticism of the rapper's involvement in the typically rock-centric Glastonbury Festival in 2008, it launched a war of words between Jay Z and Oasis, with Oasis' rhythm guitarist Gem Archer describing Jay Z's actions as akin to an "eight-year-old girl."[85] After Oasis broke up, Jay Z later claimed he would like to work with Liam Gallagher.[86]
Country group Little Big Town covered the song on an episode of Greatest Hits and later included it as part of the set list during the UK leg of their Breakers Tour.
In popular culture[edit]
Supporters of Minnesota United FC, in Major League Soccer, sing the song to serenade the club's players after every home victory.[87]

The Snap:
Congress is dysfunctional. Everyone agrees on that. One cause is the redistricting that drives our representatives to the extremes, and rewards hard line stances at the expense of compromise. That does not mean that reforms are not possible or should not be considered.
The Download:
The number of appointees that require Senate confirmation has grown from 280 to over 1400 over the past 50 years. The average time required to confirm an appointee has grown from 2.5 months to over 10 months. This is lunacy. There has been a 6 year wait to confirm a new head of the ATF. There are multiple vacancies in the federal judiciary because Congress will not approve judges. Presidents, from both the Democratic party and Evangelical christian party of god, have turned to recess appointments and other approaches in order to circumvent the approval process. This is not what a functioning Congress and government should do.
The problem is that the confirmation process has become so political, and the rules allow for so many ways for the minority party to scuttle an appointment: Anonymous holds, filibusters, blocking in committee, etc. This needs to change. Fortunately, there is a common sense solution: Require an up or down vote for all appointees within a specified number of days when Congress was in session. So, within 75 working days, a vote would have to be taken or the appointee would automatically be approved. This would have to be coupled with a requirement that the vote could not be filibustered, so that a minority could not filibuster an appointee and block confirmation — thus triggering the automatic approval. This would clear the backlog of vacancies in the federal government.

Deadwood is an American Western drama television series created, produced, and almost entirely written by David Milch.[1][2] The series aired on the premium cable network HBO from 21 March 2004 to 27 August 2006, spanning three 12-episode seasons. The show is set in the 1870s in Deadwood, South Dakota, before and after the area's annexation by the Dakota Territory. The series charts Deadwood's growth from camp to town, incorporating themes ranging from the formation of communities to western capitalism. The show features a large ensemble cast, and many historical figures appear as characters on the show—such as Seth Bullock, Al Swearengen, Wild Bill Hickok, Sol Star, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp, E. B. Farnum, Charlie Utter, and George Hearst. The plot lines involving these characters include historical truths as well as substantial fictional elements. Some of the characters are fully fictional, although they may have been based on actual persons. Deadwood received wide critical acclaim, particularly for Milch's writing and Ian McShane's co-lead performance.[3] It also won eight Emmy Awards (in 28 nominations) and one Golden Globe.
There were initial plans to conclude the series with two special TV movies, but the plans have not come to fruition. Several of the series' stars have since commented that the series is now unlikely to return. HBO had repeatedly asserted that the two movies could still be made,[4] but it noted in July 2008 that the possibility of the two TV movies being made was very slim.[5]
The show was produced by Red Board Productions and Roscoe Productions in association with HBO and Paramount Television (CBS Paramount Television in season 3).

Milch has pointed out repeatedly in interviews that the intent of the show was to study the way that civilization comes together from chaos. Initially, he intended to study this within Roman civilization, but HBO's Rome series (then in production) motivated him to look into the Deadwood community. The need to make the narrative tie to Milch's vision of society may account for why historical divergence occurs at times.
Although the series touches on a variety of issues including race, prostitution, misogyny, violence, politics, and immigration, the crux of most of the major story lines center on this issue of bringing order from chaos. The series can be conceptually framed by the major plot points that govern the changing status of the city:
In 1876, Seth Bullock leaves his job as a Marshal in Montana to establish a hardware business in the gold-mining camp of Deadwood, Dakota Territory, along with his friend and business partner, Sol Star. Wild Bill Hickok, the infamous gunslinger of the west, is on a separate journey to Deadwood, accompanied by Charlie Utter and Calamity Jane.
Al Swearengen is the owner of The Gem, a local saloon and brothel. Other notable residents include Dr. Amos Cochran; A. W. Merrick, owner and editor of the local newspaper "The Pioneer"; and E.B. Farnum, proprietor of The Grand Central Hotel. Brom Garret, a wealthy businessman from New York City, lives at The Grand Central Hotel with his wife, Alma, who nurses a secret laudanum habit. Aware that Garret is interested in prospecting, Swearengen and Farnum deceive him into purchasing a gold claim in a confidence game. Newly-arrived Cy Tolliver and his entourage purchase an abandoned hotel across from The Gem and begin renovations, then open the Bella Union Saloon, a luxurious gambling house and brothel.
Brom Garret soon learns that his gold claim is worthless and demands Swearengen reimburse his money. Swearengen orders Dan Dority to kill Garret and "make it look like an accident." Dority throws Garret off a cliff, only to discover that the claim is actually a rich one after all. Newly widowed Alma Garret asks Wild Bill Hickok for guidance regarding the gold claim and Swearengen's renewed interest. Hickok asks Bullock to advise Garret; Bullock agrees. Hickok also suggests that Garret hire Whitney Ellsworth, a trustworthy and experienced prospector. Alma Garret takes custody of young Sofia Metz, whose family was murdered on the way back to Minnesota.
During a poker game, Wild Bill Hickok is murdered in Tom Nuttall's #10 Saloon by Jack McCall. When McCall is put on trial, Swearengen leans on the acting magistrate, suggesting that McCall must be acquitted to avoid scrutiny from Washington, DC. The judge cuts the trial short and the jury acquits McCall, who leaves town immediately after the verdict. Bullock pursues McCall, determined to bring him to justice. Bullock and Charlie Utter later find McCall hiding at a boarding house and take him to Yankton for trial.
Smallpox spreads in Deadwood, creating an urgent need for vaccines. The afflicted are segregated from the main camp in plague tents. Calamity Jane aids Doctor Cochran in caring for the sick.
The senior members of the community form a municipal government to prepare for future annexation, as well as to bribe the territorial legislature, thereby ensuring the security of existing titles, claims and properties. Swearengen bribes local Magistrate Clagett to quash a murder warrant.
Alma's father Otis Russell arrives with plans to secure Alma's new-found wealth in order to pay off his endless debts and fulfill his own greed. The U.S. army arrives in Deadwood and a parade is quickly organized. Bullock confronts a self-confident Otis Russell in The Bella Union. When Russell threatens the safety of his own daughter should Bullock stand in the way of his acquiring the gold claim, Seth unceremoniously beats him and orders Russell to leave the camp.
The increasingly addled Reverend Smith, dying from an apparent brain tumor, is smothered to death by Al Swearengen in a mercy killing. Tolliver attempts to bribe General Crook to leave a garrison in Deadwood but is indignantly refused. When Magistrate Clagett attempts to extort Swearengen further over the murder warrant, Swearengen responds by enlisting Clagett's toll collector, Silas Adams, to murder Clagett. Silas performs the deed and allies himself with Swearengen, becoming his agent. As Sheriff Con Stapleton has been compromised by Cy Tolliver, Bullock volunteers to become the new sheriff as the cavalry rides out of town.
When Swearengen publicly disparages Bullock's abilities as sheriff, intimating that Bullock's focus is not on his job due to his affair with Alma Garret, Bullock removes his gun and badge and throws Swearengen and himself over the Gem balcony. Al is about to slit Bullock's throat in the muddy street, but stops after looking up to see Bullock's wife Martha and her son William arriving in camp. Bullock tells Alma they must either leave camp or stop seeing one another. Garret agrees that it is better to end the relationship and remain in town. Calamity Jane resurfaces and manages to support Bullock and Utter in persuading Swearengen to return Bullock's gun and badge. A truce is made. Garret discovers she is pregnant by Bullock and confides in Trixie, who persuades Ellsworth to make a marriage proposal to Garret and influences Garret to accept the proposal in order to save her the humiliation of unwed motherhood.
Swearengen collapses in his office with the door locked. His concerned associates assume that he wants to be left alone, but as the days pass their alarm grows and they finally break into the office. Dr. Cochran diagnoses Al with kidney stones and performs a draining procedure. Swearengen eventually passes the stones, but has a small stroke in the process.
Joanie Stubbs opens her own brothel, The Chez Amis, with her newly arrived partner Maddie. Francis Wolcott, a geologist working for George Hearst, arrives in Deadwood and soon makes his presence felt at the Chez Amis. Wolcott has paid for transportation of most of the prostitutes, in order to cater to his selective tastes. Cy Tolliver learns of Wolcott's sexual proclivities and baits him, resulting in Wolcott murdering two of Joanie Stubb's prostitutes. When Maddie attempts to extort money from Wolcott, he kills her too. Cy Tolliver has the bodies removed and pardons Wolcott. Joanie sends the remaining girls away so that they will be safe from the murderous Wolcott. Joanie confides in Charlie Utter regarding the murders, extracting a promise that he never repeat the information.
Alma fires Miss Isringhausen, Sophia's tutor. Isringhausen turns to Silas Adams under the pretext of fear for her life at the hands of the Widow Garret, and they embark upon a relationship. Isringhausen convinces Adams to allow her to meet with Swearengen. At the meeting, she admits to being an agent of the Pinkertons under the employ of Brom Garret's family, who instructed Isringhausen to frame Alma for soliciting Swearengen to murder her husband. Swearengen agrees to play along, but later reveals to Garret that he intends to blackmail Isringhausen due to his hatred for the Pinkerton agency.
Samuel Fields, "The Nigger General", returns to camp. He tries to enlist Hostetler in his schemes. Bullock is forced to rescue him from an angry mob headed by the oft-drunk, virulently racist Steve. Later, Hostetler catches a drunken Steve in the livery stable masturbating on Bullock's horse in revenge. Fields' and Hostetler manage to coerce Steve into signing a written confession of bestiality. The admission will be publicized should Steve make any trouble for either of the livery workers in the future.
Hugo Jarry, a Yankton commissioner, tries to persuade Swearengen and Tolliver that Deadwood should become part of Dakota territory rather than Montana. He ends up siding with Swearengen.
Alma Garret enlists the help of Sol Star to establish a bank in the camp.
Wolcott's agent, Lee, burns the bodies of Chinese prostitutes who have died from malnourishment whilst in his remit. Mr. Wu is enraged and requests Swearengen's help to stop Lee. Because Lee is employed by Wolcott, who is in turn employed by George Hearst, Swearengen refuses any help until after negotiations over the town's future have been resolved. Mr. Wu escapes house arrest at The Gem, but is stopped by Johnny Burns just in time from exacting his revenge or being killed.
William Bullock is trampled by a horse that escapes during a failed neutering. The boy dies several hours after. His funeral is attended by many of Deadwood's citizens and the service is conducted by former card sharp Andy Cramed, who has returned to Deadwood an ordained minister.
George Hearst arrives in Deadwood and when he learns of the murders committed by Wolcott, confronts and fires him. Hearst purchases the Grand Central hotel from E. B. Farnum. The shamed Wolcott hangs himself. Tolliver claims to be in possession of a letter of confession in which Wolcott states that Hearst was aware of his murderous ways, yet continued his employment. Tolliver blackmails Hearst for 5% of every Gold Claim he has acquired in Deadwood.
Al Swearengen negotiates with George Hearst on behalf of Mr. Wu, and they agree that Wu can regain his status if his people prove to be better workers than those of the "San Francisco cocksucker" Lee. Mr. Wu and Swearengen's henchmen plan vengeance in Deadwood's Chinatown. The operation is successful and Wu slits the throat of his rival.
Alma Garret and Ellsworth marry at a ceremony conducted by Andy Cramed at the Grand Central hotel. After much dealing and double-dealing on the part of Swearengen and Silas Adams, the official papers confirming Deadwood's annexation into Yankton territory are signed by Bullock and Swearengen with Hugo Jarry present. Andy Cramed stabs Tolliver outside the Bella Union.
Hearst murders several of his own Cornish miners when they attempt to unionize. Elections are announced: Star and Farnum run for Mayor, while Bullock and barman Harry Manning compete for Sheriff. Angered that Hearst had someone killed in the Gem, Al cancels the election debates in an attempt to reassert his position in the camp. To teach Al a lesson and force him to help Hearst buy Alma's claim, Hearst has his lead henchman Captain Turner restrain Al, then chops off one of his fingers.
Over Ellsworth's strong objections, Alma meets with Hearst to discuss buying her claim. Hearst becomes furious when she offers him a merely non-controlling interest and behaves menacingly towards Alma, but then allows her to leave without following through on his implied threat of rape.
Tolliver slowly recovers after being stabbed and gets back on his feet. Hearst knows Cy is lying about having a letter from Wolcott but decides to employ Cy to help deal with the members of the camp. Traveling actor Jack Langrishe arrives in Deadwood with his theatre troupe. He is an old friend of Swearengen's and eventually buys the former Chez Amis from Joannie Stubbs on condition that he build a new school house for the camp's children. Alma has Doc Cochran perform an abortion after her health takes a serious downturn and she and others decide it's best for all concerned.
Hostetler and Samuel "The Nigger General" Fields return to the camp to find that Steve has taken over the livery. Bullock mediates between them, eventually getting Hostetler to agree to sell the Livery to Steve. But Steve's relentless ranting, racial slurs, and impugning of Hostetler's honor finally drive the latter over the edge and he shoots himself.
Another miner is killed. Already angry from the Hostetler/Steve ordeal, Bullock arrests Hearst, drags him by the ear through the public thoroughfare, and puts him in jail overnight.
Alma is once again using dope. Leon confesses to Cy that he is Alma's supplier. Cy relays this news to Hearst, but Hearst is still angry from his encounter with Bullock and believes that if Tolliver had told him this useful news beforehand he might not have provoked the sheriff. A furious Tolliver tells Leon to do nothing, but Leon, afraid of being implicated in Alma's murder, has already cut her off. Suspecting that Alma's return to drugs is due to her unhappiness at being married, Ellsworth moves out of their house. They later agree to separate and Alma is able to stop taking the laudanum.
Hearst brings a large force of Pinkertons to the camp and encourages them to stir up trouble. Swearengen holds a meeting to decide what to do about Hearst. The town leaders are unable to decide on any direct action, other than to publish a letter from Bullock to the wife of one of the murdered miners that subtly highlights Hearst's callousness. Hearst has Merrick beaten for publishing it.
Alma is shot at in the street. Swearengen takes her into the Gem and orders Dan to kidnap and restrain Ellsworth. He guesses correctly that Hearst ordered the shooting in an attempt to provoke Ellsworth, then kill him when he comes to Alma's aid. Hearst sends his second to negotiate with Swearengen; Al kills him. The town unites to protect Alma as she returns to work at the bank. Hearst has Ellsworth assassinated in his tent at Alma's mine. Trixie shoots Hearst in revenge for Ellsworth's death, but fails to kill him. Fearing for her and Sophia's lives and unwilling to make the camp responsible for her ongoing protection, Alma sells her claim to Hearst to avoid further bloodshed.
Bullock receives discouraging news about the county-wide election returns in his race for sheriff against Harry Manning, all the while knowing Hearst may have manipulated the results using Federal soldiers brought in to vote for his handpicked candidate elsewhere in the county.
Hearst demands that the whore who shot him be murdered. Swearengen and Wu gather a militia in case all-out war breaks out. Al murders the prostitute Jen, despite Johnny's objections, in the hope of passing her corpse off as Trixie's in order to placate Hearst. Hearst believes the ruse and leaves Deadwood, giving over control of "all his other-than-mining interests" to Tolliver. Tolliver, enraged that Hearst is cutting him off, takes his frustrations out on Leon by stabbing him in the femoral artery. He points a gun at Hearst from his balcony and wants to shoot him, but instead watches as Bullock sees a smirking Hearst out of the camp.
From its debut, Deadwood has drawn attention for its use of extremely explicit, modern profanity, especially among the more coarse characters. It is a deliberate anachronism on the part of the creator with a twofold intent. Milch has explained in several interviews and on the DVD commentary tracks that the characters were originally intended to use period slang and swear words. Such words, however, were based heavily on the era's deep religious roots and tended to be more blasphemous than scatological. Instead of being shockingly crude (in keeping with the tone of a frontier mining camp), the results sounded downright comical. As one commentator put it "… if you put words like 'goldarn' into the mouths of the characters on 'Deadwood', they'd all wind up sounding like Yosemite Sam."[7]
Instead, it was decided that the show would use current profanity in order for the words to have the same impact on modern audiences as the blasphemous ones did back in the 1870s. In fact, in early episodes, the character of Mr. Wu seems to know only three words of English — the mangled name of one character ("Swedgin"), "San Francisco", and his favorite derogatory term for those whom he dislikes, "cocksucka". Wu is also fond of the Cantonese derogatory term "gweilo" which he applies to the camp's white males.
The other intent in regards to the frequency of the swearing was to signal to the audience the lawlessness of the camp in much the same way that the original inhabitants used it to show that they were living outside the bounds of "civil society."
The issue of the authenticity of Deadwood's dialogue has even been alluded to in the show itself. Early in the second season, E.B. Farnum has fleeced Mr. Wolcott of $10,000, and Farnum tries to console the geologist:
The word "fuck" was said 43 times in the first hour of the show.[8] It has also been reported that the series had a total count of 2,980 "fucks" and a cumulative average of 1.56 utterances of "fuck" per minute of footage.[9]
In addition to the use of fictional characters that interact with real life Deadwood inhabitants, some liberties were taken in regard to known events of the time as well as with places and personalities.
The Grand Central Hotel—a three story, 64-room luxury hotel with steam heat and indoor bathrooms—was built in 1879 by Seth Bullock and his partner after the hardware store he co-owned with Sol Starr burned down. The Bullock Hotel continues to operate to this day as a casino.
E. B. Farnum was one of the first residents who was neither a miner nor prospector; he was the owner of a general store, not a hotel. He was married with three children when he arrived in Deadwood. He was very active in convincing the Dakota Territories to officially recognize the town and establish a nearby Army post, contrary to the series which had him oppose it under the sway of Al Swearengen.
Wild Bill Hickok's funeral was not, as the series suggests, a sparsely attended affair. Charlie Utter was away when Hickok was killed, but he returned and claimed the body. He placed an advertisement in the local paper and attended the funeral.
Gem Theater, referred to in the series as the Gem Saloon, was not built until April 7, 1877, the second of Al Swearengen's establishments. In 1876 when Bullock and Star arrived, Swearengen ran a small establishment called the Cricket Saloon, which featured bare-knuckle boxing among miners, as well as dog fights and cock fights.
Charlie Utter was unlike the show's somewhat unkempt man, uncomfortable in urban settings. He was known for the pride that he took in his appearance. He dressed in hand-tailored suits and kept his long blonde hair and mustache well-groomed at all times, keeping combs and mirrors with him constantly.
Seth Bullock was not married to his brother's widow, but to the woman who was reportedly his childhood sweetheart, Martha, whom he married in Utah in 1874. Robert Bullock was not Seth's brother, but a cousin. He did not have a son at the time when his wife came to join him, but a daughter, Margaret, who was still just a toddler. They subsequently had another daughter, Florence, and a son, Stanley. He deputized several people while sheriff, but not Charlie Utter. He was from Amherstburg (in Canada West at the time of his birth, but Ontario at the time of the storyline), and not Etobicoke as depicted in the series.
Al Swearengen was not originally from England, but Iowa. At the time the story opens in 1876, he was still operating the smaller Cricket Saloon. He was also still married to Nettie Swearengen, his first wife (but in keeping with his fictional counterpart, she divorced him on the grounds of mistreatment some time later).
Jane Canary is never referred to her by her nickname "Calamity Jane," though by 1876 she herself had not used anything but her nickname for several years. The show does not make clear that she did not become friends with Hickok and Utter until after they had been in Deadwood for some time. After arriving in Deadwood, she stopped wearing men's clothing, and worked for Swearengen at the Gem Theatre.
Deadwood received almost universal praise from critics over the course of its three year run. According to metacritic.com, the third season had near universal acclaim with only one negative review coming from Newsday's Verne Gay. The praise generally centered on the strength of the writing and Milch's unique style of dialogue. The strength and depth of the casting was cited repeatedly by critics and further substantiated by numerous nominations for best casting in a dramatic series.
Although it did not receive the same level of attention at awards shows as other HBO programs (notably The Sopranos and Six Feet Under), the writers, costume, casting, and art direction were repeatedly nominated for major awards. Ian McShane was another major exception to the show's relative anonymity, winning a Golden Globe award in the second season.
In an interview with Paris Review in 2006, Laura Albert, of JT LeRoy fame, acknowledged being one of the show's writers.
On May 13, 2006, HBO confirmed it had opted not to pick up the options of the actors, which were set to expire on June 11, 2006. This meant that a fourth season with the current cast as it stands was unlikely, though HBO had stressed that the show was not canceled and talks regarding its future were continuing. The chance of the show returning in its current state of cast and crew, however, was limited.
On June 5, 2006, HBO and creator David Milch agreed to make two two-hour television films in place of a fourth season, after Milch declined a short-order of 6 episodes. This was because in the show's original form, each season was only a few weeks in length, with each episode being one day, in the town of Deadwood. The final two-hour format would release these time restraints and allow for a broader narrative to finish off the series.[10]
In a January 13, 2007, interview, David Milch stated that he still intends to finish the 2 films, if possible.[11] On July 12, 2007, HBO executives admitted that producing the telefilms would be difficult and put the chances of their ever being made at "50-50."[12]
Actor Ian McShane claimed in an interview on October 1, 2007, that the show sets were due to be dismantled and that the movies would not be made.[13] Actors Jim Beaver and W. Earl Brown commented a day later that they considered the series to now be over.[14]
In the March 17, 2009 episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, McShane repeated that 'Deadwood is dead'.[15]
All three seasons are available on DVD. HBO was responsible for the North American DVD releases, while Paramount Home Entertainment handled international distribution—the latter being a byproduct of CBS Studios International (the successor-in-interest to the television unit of Paramount Pictures) handling worldwide TV distribution for the series (as Paramount Television co-produced the series with HBO). Season 3 was released on June 12, 2007. Deadwood: The Complete Series was released on December 9, 2008. This set includes a special bonus disc with new features, most prominently a focus on what would have occurred in the fourth season.
The Deadwood title song is a piece by David Schwartz.
The closing credits music is listed below:

Deadwood is an American dramatic television series. It was first shown in March 2004 on HBO. The series is a Western set in the 1870s in Deadwood, South Dakota. At the time, Deadwood was little more than a camp, but it was a popular place to go for those searching for gold in the Black Hills. The series shows Deadwood's growth from camp to town. It deals with ideas ranging from the creation of communities to western capitalism.
Deadwood features many historical people. For example, Wild Bill Hickok, Seth Bullock, Sol Star, Calamity Jane, Al Swearengen, Wyatt Earp, E. B. Farnum, Charlie Utter and George Hearst have all been used in the series. The stories that deal these characters include historical truths as well as fictional parts. Some of the characters are fully fictional, but they may have been based on actual persons.
The series was created by David Milch (NYPD Blue). He was also executive producer and head writer of the show. The theme music was written by David Schwartz.
The third and final season ended on August 27, 2006.

Episode 1: Mekong River Adventure – Part 1
During Part 1 of Joseph's Mekong River voyage through Cambodia and Vietnam he travels from the temple mountains of Angkor and its UNESCO World Heritage sites, to the river towns and villages of the Mekong river valley. Along the way he explores the country's history and spiritual roots in its ancient Buddhist pagodas and monasteries. On visits to weaving, stonecutter and silversmith villages, he celebrates the Cambodian people's creativity and resilience. In Cambodia's sprawling countryside against a backdrop of farmland and rice fields he comes face to face with Cambodia's tragic past in the killings fields of the Khmer Rouge genocide. As the episode ends Joseph is poised to enter the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh as he continues to go with the Mekong's flow on to Vietnam and the Mekong River Delta.
Episode 2: Mekong River Adventure – Part 2
Part 2 of Joseph's Mekong River journey through Cambodia and Vietnam finds him in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh where he embarks on a tuk-tuk tour of the city's highlights. He visits the royal palace with its stupas, pagodas and pavilions and pays homage to the country's spiritual heritage, as well as its colonial past. In local markets and restaurants where the fare can range from lobsters to tarantulas, he learns how, with the help of foreign NGOs, the country is recovering from its devastating Khmer Rouge history of war and ruin. Then Joseph follows the Mekong's flow into Vietnam where the Mekong River Delta spreads its seven arms across Southwest Vietnam. Here in the countryside towns, river villages and floating markets he experiences post-war Vietnamese life. As Joseph's Mekong River voyage ends he understands that after centuries of struggle, at the core of Cambodia and Vietnam's resurgence are their resilient people who have overcome the unimaginable time and time again and are now ready to greet the world with open arms.
Episode 3: Taiwan Matsu Festival & Islands
Joseph returns to Taiwan to follow in the path of Taiwan's Matsu Pilgrimage, said to be the largest religious procession in the world, and to explore the islands named in the deity's honor. Blessed with magical powers, Matsu, Taiwan's superstar deity teaches creating balance in our lives and the lesson is illustrated in the 9-day Matsu Pilgrimage, which melds an exuberant worldly celebration with a mindful spiritual journey. It is literally an explosive event that encompasses the many sides of the Taiwanese nature. Complementing the festival is Joseph's visit to the Matsu Islands, 100 miles from Taiwan while only 6 from China, revealing the resolute and determined survival instincts of the Taiwanese. Since the first Fujian fishermen came to the Matsu Islands in the 14th century, the archipelago has been a refuge. On his travels, Joseph discovers that for centuries, the islanders have weathered natural and political storms through their connections with each other and the sea. Today after decades of living in the shadow of war, they are ready to celebrate their historic, cultural and natural treasures.
Episode 4: Myanmar Irrawaddy River Adventure
Myanmar or Burma, by either name, and both are acceptable, exudes an aura of the exotic, mysterious and alluring. Even the names of its former capitals, Mandalay and Rangoon, evoke a lyrical glow. Yet, it's the magnetism of its ancient temple architecture that draws visitors to the valley of the Irrawaddy River. Joseph embarks on an Irrawaddy River adventure from golden pagodas to colorful markets, from working villages to frenzied cities where unimagined new sights, sounds, smells and emotions capture his attention. On his journey of discovery Joseph finds that on the Irrawaddy's 1,350-mile journey to the sea the full range of Myanmar life unfolds along its shores. The river embodies the historical, cultural and economic soul of the country and has been the lifeblood of its people since Stone Age man first arrived there 13,000 years ago. As his Myanmar odyssey unfolds it becomes clear that with a long history of conflict and conquest, until recently, Myanmar/Burma was isolated, shrouded in secrecy and hid its brilliance. Yet now it has opened its doors and is displaying its glories for all to see. And the people of Myanmar and a world of travelers are better for it.
Episode 5: Christmas Celebrations Around the Globe
Celebrating the world through their festivals is a great way to experience a country and its people. This episode begins in Venice, California at the annual holiday boat parade — a funky and funny celebration along the Venice Canals, which highlights the offbeat, colorful spirit of this Southern California beach community. Then Joseph completes the holiday circle by returning to San Antonio, Texas' world famous riverwalk and the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland for their Christmas celebration. In Switzerland, Joseph basks in the glow of some of the country's best Christmas Markets, visits a Christmas ornament artist and takes a journey to old St. Nick's village. In San Antonio, faith is real and Joseph explores the city's spiritual roots and the real meaning of Christmas when he joins with San Antonio families in their homes to honor their heritage at the Tamalada – holiday tamale making – and in the San Fernando Cathedral at the midnight Serenada for the Virgin of Guadalupe. In this episode Joseph shows that Christmas is about more than twinkling lights and cups of cheer. In every country, in every culture — Christmas is a time to put aside differences, celebrate our humanity and join the angels in wishing each other Good Will and Peace on Earth.
Episode 6: Taiwan Naturally
From its serpentine coastline and towering mountains to its verdant forests and remote offshore islands, Taiwan's natural beauty is surprising. Yet, while it may be far from what the casual visitors expects, Taiwan's nine national parks and thirteen national scenic areas have much to attract and mesmerize the nature lover. In this Taiwan adventure Joseph climbs into the mountains to explore the country's forested sanctuaries replete with soothing hot springs, he harvests the riches of the seas with a local chef and joins Taiwanese and foreigners alike at a great bird watching contest. While traversing a country that is working to strike a balance between the preservation of natural and cultural resources and the needs of tourism, Joseph discovers still one more story to tell in a country rich with tales.
