Abstract: The legislative process is filled with rules and regulations. Any member of Congress may introduce a bill. The proposal is then assigned to a committee or committees. Action is then taken on the floor of the chamber where the bill is initiated. After passing, the bill is sent to the other chamber. If the second chamber changes the bill, it then goes to a conference committee. The revised bill is then sent to both houses for final approval. It is then sent to the president for signing.
The legislative process is filled with rules and regulations. It is a very complicated process. Below is a summary; a very short summary. If you are interested in more detail, please see How Our Laws Are Made, Revised and Updated by Charles W. Johnson Parliamentarian, United States House of Representatives or the Senates Enactment of a Law.
Introduction: Any member of Congress may introduce a bill. The member who introduces a bill is known as the primary sponsor. Other members may co-sponsor the bill. In the House of Representatives, the bills sponsor introduces the bill by giving it to the clerk of the House or by placing it in a box, called the hopper. The clerk assigns a number to the bill -- H.R. for the House of Representatives and S. for the Senate. The bill is then sent to the Government Printing Office (GPO) and printed.
Committee Action: The bill is then assigned to a committee or committees. The most important phase of the legislative process is the action by committees. The committees provide the most intensive scrutiny of the bill as well as a forum for public input. There are, at present, 19 standing committees in the House and 16 in the Senate as well as several select committees.
Committees focus on different subject matters. For example, the Committee on the Judiciary in the House has jurisdiction over bills relating to judicial proceedings and similar categories, such as immigration, bankruptcy, and trademarks. Committees study the bill and often hear testimony from experts and interested people.
After committees have had hearings on a bill, and sometimes bills are given to a subcommittee to review, a vote of committee members is taken to determine whether they will (a) recommend to approve the bill, (b) recommend to not approve the bill, or (c) make amendments to the bill and recommend to approve it as amended. A committee may also table a bill; that is, not take any action on it and, thus, prevent further action on the bill.
Floor Action: When a bill is released from the committee, with or without amendments, it is sent to the floor of the house in which it originated. The Senate and House of Representatives procedures are different.
In the House, the bill is then placed on the appropriate Calendar for hearing by the Committee of the Whole. Hearings in the Committee of the Whole are scheduled, first, for general debate. The bill may be voted on quickly or the time for debate may be limited. Amendments may be prohibited. After general debate, there is a second, section-by-section reading of the bill, during which amendments may be offered to a section when it is read. Each amendment is voted on by the Committee of the Whole or the House may adopt a rule establishing a list of amendments to the bill and then the list is voted on. When this is done, there is a third reading of the bill with all amendments. If the bill passes, it goes to the Senate.
In the Senate bills that go to the floor for consideration are voted on in the order in which they come from the committees. However, an urgent bill may be pushed ahead by leaders of the majority party. When the Senate considers the bill, they can debate it indefinitely. When there is no more debate, the bill is voted on. If the bill passes, it goes to the house.
If a bill is agreed to in identical form by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, it is sent, in its final or enrolled form, to the president for consideration and signing.
Conference Committee: If, after a bill is passed out of one house and sent to the other house, and the second house amends the bill and passes it, then the bill must go to a conference committee, which is made up of members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The committee works out the differences between the two versions of the bill. The revised bill is then sent back to both houses for their final approval. Once approved, the bill is sent to the president.
Presidential Approval: The president has 10 days to sign the bill or veto it. If the president vetoes the bill, it can still become law if two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives vote to override the veto. If, after 10 days (excluding Sundays), the President has not signed the bill and has not vetoed it, it automatically becomes law unless Congress adjourns, which prevents the bill from being returned. This is known as a "pocket veto.

I like the deploy.sh approach. If you get a proper response, you have more confidence the server is running well. With the other approach, the server process could be hung. It is quick, tho.

Geyserville Wine Tasting
Geyserville Wine Tasting
To drive or walk all the way through the quaint Wine Country town of Geyserville would take two minutes (or 20). Yet where world-class grapes grow, terrific tasting rooms thrive, and this north County burg brims with boutique destinations. There are several in downtown, and several along the countryside roads, so a visitor could easily spend an entire day here.
One of the newest in the area is Mercury Geyserville, which makes it clear that this isn't your grandfather's wine tasting experience anymore. Millennials, up to boomers and beyond, if you've got style, you want to be here.
Bare concrete floors rise up to floor-to-ceiling cubbyholes of wine bottles and jars of jam and pickled vegetables. The music groves from a pair of turntables, spinning vinyl records like the Best of Queen (Freddie Mercury, get it?).
There are Mercury dimes piled in a jar and Mercury the comic-book hero illustrated on T-shirts, to celebrate Mercury the planet blazing on a Pinot Noir label in tribute of Mercury the winged messenger, or the mercury mines that attracted get-rich-seekers to Alexander Valley in the quicksilver boom of the 19th century.
Fitting the small town vibe, production is as low as 50 cases, and one of the signatures is a red table wine in a 500-ml jug, sealed with a laboratory bottle cap and packed in a handmade 12-bottle wooden crate.
There are few places in Wine Country where you can enjoy such distinctive varietals as these, including Sauvignon Musqué, Noble Rot Late Harvest Pinot Blanc, and complex red blends like The Rocket.
Stars in the sky, stars in the glass – it's a great taste of Geyserville.
Mercury Geyserville, 21025 Geyserville Ave., Geyserville, 707-857-9870, www.mercurywine.com.

Coalition Negotiations Must Begin Immediately
By Stuart Hertzog
October 10th, 2008
For the opposition parties to form a coalition government, a formal letter stating their intent and ability to do so must sent to the Governor General as soon as the election results are announced. Without this, she would have no alternative but to ask Stephen Harper to form another minority government. The leaders of the four opposition parties must immediately begin negotiations to thrash out a working agreement. To delay would be to open the door for a second and more repressive Stephen Harper minority régime that 64% of Canadians do not want.
An open letter to the leaders of the four opposition parties
Stéphane Dion Liberal Party
Jack Layton New Democratic Party
Gilles Duceppe Bloc Québécois
Elizabeth May Green Party
To the four leaders of the Opposition:
You are competing against each other in trying to stop Stephen Harper from forming another minority government. This forces many Canadians who don't want Stephen Harper to continue in power to vote strategically.
I believe that it's not enough to try to stop another minority Harper government in Canada by strategic voting, although that's a start. Until our voting system is changed to one of proportional representation, it would seem at first glance to be the best most concerned Canadians can do.
Yet if Stephen Harper can continue as Prime Minister with another parliamentary minority, that's enough for him to pursue his US-inspired, ultra right-wing, anti-social, anti-environment, secretive, repressive, and continentalist agenda — a prospect that really alarms me.
Stephen Harper wants to create a Canada that most Canadians don't want.
I always thought that Democracy meant the rule of the majority, but a minority government means that Canada would be run once again by a political party with only, if the current pollsters current predictions prove to be accurate, around 34% support of Canadians.
Whatever happened to the democratic principle of majority rule?
I want the Governor General not to ask Stephen Harper to form the next government of Canada. Instead, I want her to respect the wishes of the two-third majority of voting Canadians and ask your four parties to try to form a coalition government.
Formal letter a necessity
I believe that the Governor General has the power to do this, and that there may be historical precedent to enable her to take this course of action. However, I understand that former Governor General Ed Schreyer believes that to do so she must have a formal letter signed by you, stating your intentions. Please ask him about this.
What is required is a formal submission, in writing, by the parties who have agreed to form a coalition requesting that the Governor General recognize you collectively as the government. If the Governor General feels that you could indeed function as a coalition and that this would be preferable to any other alternative, such a request could be granted.
This means that you must be ready to form a coalition by October 14th, 2008.
Will you each put aside your antipathies towards each other and work to find your common principles and policies? Will you do this for the poor and needy; for the workers; for business people; for the environment and other species; and for the kind of Canada that the majority of Canadians clearly want?
Will you begin to explore this possibility, NOW?
Historic moment for Canada
If you could do this, it would be an watershed moment in Canadian history.
- It may help to reduce the dissatisfaction that many Canadians feel about the current political system.
- It may stop save thousands of Canadians from losing their homes and businesses, and give others the hope of ever finding a roof over their head.
- It may prevent the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars on an unwinnable war in Afghanistan that is bringing pain, misery, and even death to thousands of innocent individuals and families, including innocent children, both Afghani and Canadian.
- It may prevent the absorption of Canada into a expanded United States of North America,
- It may save millions on our entire planet from impending global climate catastrophe.
I urgently beg you to consider this possibility, and to begin negotiations NOW.
Are you prepared to do this? I and millions of Canadians want to know.
Yours for a democratic, equitable, ethical, and sustainable future,
Stuart Hertzog

Great Idea! Have you passed it on to avaaz.ca? Maybe they would help spread it around
Here's a copy of the email I sent to the four leaders.
Subject: Coalition please!
To the leaders of the four opposition parties:
I would like to echo the sentiments posted on
and add:
If the Harper Conservatives do not win a majority, but win enough seats again to form a minority government, it is very important that you leaders take _immediate_ action to put together a coalition government. It is so very clear that the majority of Canadians favor progressive policies and that your four parties share much common ground.
Even if the Bloc is a separatist party, it is in the vital interest the whole of northern North America, whether one nation or two, to rid ourselves of the inhumane, suppressive, short-sighted, simplistic, mean-spirited, dare I say, outright stupid policies of those running our present government.
There has been an increasingly strong movement recently toward strategic voting. This will probably not be enough to topple the conservatives. And it is not really a satisfactory solution anyway. A coalition government would be the most effective way presently available to implement desperately needed solutions that reflect the true aspirations of the Canadian majority.
Please, please, consider this seriously. I know there are long-standing animosites and some very serious policy differences among you. However they pale iin comparison to the impending catastrophe of climate change and to the myriad of human problems needing an intelligent and compassionate approach. The Conservatives are in denial on climate change, and as far as intelligence and compassion are concerned, well…… need I say more?

Well put, Freda! And, my apologies for the fact that your comment was held back by a technical glitch in the comment spam software I'm using. Luckily, I managed to extract it from the 'marked for destruction' queue.

I originally got to this page via a link from another site (can't remember where). Luckily I saved the URL. Starting from your own home page I was unable to find it. There doesn't seem to be a link to it on your own site. It's an important letter and needs all the links it can get. – FD

That's strange, as the letter is the first article at the top of the home page right now. It's the link for this page minus the #comments at the end. Anyway, thanks for the support, Freda. Please tell all your friends to read it and join the facebook group majoritycoalitionforcanada.

Dear Stuart
I am a member of the Liberal Party of Canada and a supporter of Stéphane Dion. I was very inspired by the classy, substantive campaign that Mr. Dion ran during the election and by his visionary Green Shift policy jointly supported by Elizabeth Manly and the Green Party. Although our party did poorly I feel this was not so much a reflection on Mr. Dion as on a number of other factors (lack of election preparation due to snap election; internal dissension within the LPC, collusion between Stephan Harper and Jack Layton against Dion, lack of cooperation between the centre-left opposition parties,etc.)
Now that the election is over and loyal Liberal volunteers are exhausted and inattentive, certain "un-named senior liberals" aided by a hostile right-wing media are trying to force Mr. Dion out of his leadership position without even giving a chance for ordinary Liberal members to consider whether this is in the interests of our party or Canadian democracy. They present this as a fait accompli. They say that Mr. Dion is isolated and finished politically. What they do not realize though is that Mr. Dion is NOT isolated. Grassroots Liberals were energized and inspired by his campaign, by the Green Shift, by his refusal to play politics as usual. We do not believe that engaging in another self-destructive round of LPC leadership politics will serve our party or the country well. What we need to do now is to serve Canadians by concentrating on our role of official Opposition. We need to think seriously as a party about why we lost this election and how we can better organize ourselves to win the support of Canadian voters next time. We will not let this leadership coup succeed without being heard from.
There has never been a LPC leader who has placed a higher role on environmental policies as Mr. Dion did this past election. Elizabeth May feels he is a man she can work with. Greens can play a role on this debate. We need to hear how Green voters feel about Mr. Dion's leadership.
Go here to learn more about what we are doing and to join the revolt: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=40161095228&ref=mf

Peace unfurled in my chest for the first time in months. We left from our little grove of trees and began walking down our new path. I didn't know exactly where it would lead, I knew the journey would be magic as long as we were together.
I wish I could say I stood up and went all the way to shore on the first try, but that didn't happen. I rode that wave in in updog position looking like a baby seal riding a surfboard. I didn't let go until the bottom of the board scraped sand.
"Pop up, Amanda. Stop hesitating…just trust."
Light filtered gently through the ancient windows in our small bedroom—touching our eyelids, delicately prodding us awake.

Torrent description
Entire Album 128 Kbit MP3 Style: Ambient, New Age, Relaxing
Phases of Death was produced in 2003 and appeared in the trade for the first time in fall of 2003, because this season matches the atmosphere of the CD particularly well. The CD deals musically with a very important time period in our lifes or said more exactly the moment when our life ends.
There are many fantasies and reports about dying or the possibility of life after death or the death itselve. Unfortunately, only very little scientifically literature can be found about that theme. I wouldn't like neither to change nor criticize this here.
Phases of Death makes Olivers pure musically imagination about the moment between cardiac arrest and definite cerebral death. Everybody may start his own phantasy to this and the imagination shall be proposed absolutely. Nevertheless the CD has a main thread, a story which is told because without that it wouldn't work.
First imagine a man who has left the house after a quarrel with his girlfriend. Of course a thunderstorm starts exactly at this moment but, he never notices this, so much he is in thoughts. He is mistaken by the rain for hours and wonders how he could settle the discussion. Suddenly his mobile phone rings, it is his girlfriend. On the telephone they talk to each other and everything puts right, so he decides to sweep home immediately. On the way home a lightning hits the man, overleaf passers-by call an emergency doctor. This is where the Story on the CD begins.

Not sure any of you saw this in the Sunday New York Times, but I found the article about "Bench Strength" very interesting. The interview was with Sharon Napier, CEO of Partners+Napier, an ad agency based in Rochester NY. It's obvious Sharon is building an engaged organization. I resonate with her on a number of different levels. Sharon's values and beliefs about people and the roles they play in her company are similar to mine. As a sportswoman in high school and college, she likes to use sports metaphors in her organization. She references the experience students have of being a star in high school, then being the 9th player in college. While this may be difficult for some to digest, the point of her sports analogies is that everyone on a team has a role, and each role has a specific purpose. People must be clear about their purpose on the team so that they can step up, but also so that the team can realize its potential.
Secondly, Sharon names family as one of her key corporate values. We both come from Italian heritage and "la famiglia" is an important aspect of life. It assumes a certain loyalty, sticking together and compassion and caring for family members. Growing up in this culture creates a sense of belonging, appreciation and being valued for all involved. Transferring these values to the workplace helps create engagement. I am sure Sharon, like myself, has had to clarify family as a value statement for those who have not had a positive family upbringing.
Lastly, Sharon is a woman business owner. Having served on the Board of the National Association of Women Business Owners and President of the NYC chapter, I recognize that many women are comfortable with their feminine energy and can bring the universal feminine into the workplace. Having received an MBA in her mid-forties, much of Sharon's business acumen has been developed over her lifetime. My hunch is Sharon can draw from the strength of her energies to successfully manage her business. A model for all of us to consider in pursuit of building engaged organizations.

The inspiration behind the original Healthy Parks Healthy People concept and its development over ten years including the Medibank private developments and the first World HPHP Congress has come from three innovative and unique individuals. The HPHP concept commenced in 1999 and was a central stream of the IUCN 2014 World Park Congress.
The success and power of this concept is reflected in its adoption by the USA National Parks Service.

Remembering Michael Hutchence
Bono: "We were flying between shows and someone called and told me about Michael's death. I still haven't figured out quite how I feel about it. I don't know whether I'm angry or guilty… You always think if it's a mate that there was something you could have done. I still find it hard to figure it all out, because I had a conversation with him not that long ago where we talked about something like this, and we both agreed how dumb and selfish it would be, and Hutch was not at all selfish." Bono said that he and Hutchence were neighbors in France and that their personality differences helped to fuel their friendship. "He was a nice guy to be around. He was very light, whereas I don't think I'm the easiest person to be around, so we balanced each other out. But I hadn't seen him for a while, because we were both off doing our thing. I'm finding the whole thing very hard to understand…"
For many adoring INXS fans it is the tragic day that Michael Hutchence lost his life. Bono and U2 where preparing to perform in San Antonio, Texas, that day when word came through about Michael's death. Gutted by the news, Bono struggled through the concert making several references to his dear friend. "Hutch, where are you?" he cried. Over the past seven years Bono has frequently mentioned Michael at U2 concerts. He has dedicated many songs to Michael and has regularly finished the evening with a track of Michael and INXS playing over the PA system. Bono even completed the recording of the song, "Slide Away" on Michael's solo album, as well as dedicating the Grammy award winning "Stuck in a Moment" to his friend's memory.
When U2 played in Sydney in 1998, they invited the other original INXS members along to their show, as well as close family and friends of Michael's. It was pouring rain and lightning, just the same as after Michael's funeral, and other important dates to do with Michael there always seems to be a lightning storm! Before playing 'One' Bono turned to the big picture of Michael on the screen and said:
"I Just wanted to say goodbye
To a great singer
And a great friend
I just wanted to say goodbye
I just wanted to say goodbye
In front of his mates
In front of his family
In front of his band
I just wanted to say goodbye
So goodbye Michael"
U2 also often dedicated the song 'Gone' to Michael live as well. Here is an example during their 2001 tour in Boston where Bono yells out 'Hutch' at the start of the song. Brilliant guitar playing by The Edge in this song!
On the 10th anniversary of MH's death in 2007, Bono and The Edge performed 'Desire' at Union Chapel in London. During the song Bono mentioned it was a special date and started playing 'Need You Tonight' as a tribute to Michael.

Thanks for the heads up PD. I've had this and Mius Front on my Steam wish list for awhile now. How do they compare? Better to hold out for a Mius Front sale or grab Tunisia now? My game buying budget has its limitations.

Interactive Gift Card Slider feat. My Favorite Things09:39
The spotlight was created using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and the In the Spotlight stencil form MFT. You have to use a pigment based ink on darker cardstock in order for the colour to show up. A dye ink would just make the cardstock look a different shade of grey.
My Favorite Things is my favourite brand for scene building. They just have so many lovely stamps, stencils and dies to create scenery like this performance stage.

Unbreakable. A word that in its literal meaning implies a strength resistant to every imaginable force, is also the very word that Rock Horn Project creator Adam Wolf has wisely and correctly chosen as the title for his second album debuting February 24th. Generously donating his time, I was able to sit down with Mr. Wolf and not only learn about his life, and the inspirations that went into creating Unbreakable, but that even despite once having left the world of music, his unprecedented talent as a resilient person, rock hornist, and composer was so powerful, his return to music has witnessed a trailblazing effort of a man who unapologetically continues to break all kinds of musical barriers.
Carrie Rexroat: How did you get started in music?
Adam Wolf: My dad was a band director, and both my brother and I were absolutely going to be in band whether we wanted to be or not. I started on trumpet, but I switched to playing horn while in 6th grade.
CR: What led you to pursuing music as a career? Was there a defining moment?
AW: It moved around a bit. When I started college I was a music education major, but kept changing majors which unfortunately led to a depression and total downward spiral with music. At one point I completely quit the horn, stopped teaching, and stopped going to school. Luckily what dug me out of my depression was listening to other forms of music. At the time my brother's favorite band was Muse, and he convinced me to go see a concert of theirs. On top of it being a ridiculously great show, it completely revitalised my desire to play, because I realized that I had just been playing the wrong kind music. Nothing against classical music, it just wasn't the right outlet for me artistically at the time.
CR: Oh wow, I had no idea you had left music. So after this realization, you went to CalArts, correct? Why CalArts?
AW: Basically, if someone is interested in doing something different with their music they should consider going to CalArts. I was 24 when I started my time there, didn't know anyone, so I decided to live in the dorms my first year. I was placed in a room with a guy named Rusty Kennedy who was someone my own age, and was an electric bass player. It was a huge deal to be roomed with Rusty, as he's a founding member of RHP and still plays bass in the band. Even though he looked at me like I was crazy when I told him I wanted to create an outlet for French Horn in rock music, he thought it was interesting and wanted to be a part of it. So, he was there for me, making sure the guitar and bass parts were voiced correctly, and he really helped put this project together.
CR: I see. What's been a vital component to the success of this project thus far, other than Rusty?
AW: Support from others has been vital. When I auditioned for CalArts I told the head of brass, Ed Carroll, and the horn teacher at the time, Robin Graham, that I wanted to play Rock Music. They thought it was awesome and had a list of people that I could talk to to help make it happen. After graduating, some members of the band wanted to keep playing together so we did some bar shows at the House of Blues, Molly Malones, The Mint, and other LA venues. But, in doing that I realized no one knew how to make us sound good. Rock Horn Project is such a unique band that no random house engineers knew how to make a french horn, string quartet and rhythm section fit together. That was what started the idea in fall 2013 that we had to make our debut album, Breakin' Old Habits, as that was the only way our stuff was going to be heard correctly.
CR: What sorts of recognition did you get from that album? Did that album get you heard the way that you were intending?
AW: Definitely. We did a kickstarter to make the CD, and not only did the musicians do it for free, but Preston Shepard, my good friend, producer, engineer & mixer for that album and Unbreakable did it for free as well; I was so lucky to have generous people for that album. But the release of Breakin' Old Habits coincided with a mini-tour we did in San Diego, where the Southwest IHS Convention was also being hosted by Doug Hall. RHP was fortunate enough to not only perform at the convention, but perform with the featured artist that year, Jeff Nelsen. I'd never met Jeff before, but he not only agreed to perform with us, but was so enthusiastic and supportive about it that it got the attention of Scott Bacon at Siegfried's Call, as Jeff is a Siegfried's Call artist. Scott took a huge interest in us, and I myself became a Siegfried's Call artist. Shortly after the convention I also became a Conn Selmer artist, and all those things combined brought an incredible boost of notoriety to me and the band.
CR: Wow, congratulations! So when did you know you wanted to release a second album?
AW: Well, right after our first album dropped, about three months later Ropeadope Records reached out and asked if I was interested in releasing a second album with them. They're a small Indie label specializing in rock fusion, and they released and produced the first four Snarky Puppy albums. I knew a second album was inevitable, but their interest certainly established a timetable for it.
CR: What are you hoping to accomplish with the release of this album? The first brought you notoriety, but what do you think Unbreakable will achieve?
AW: Well, even though Rock Horn Project has achieved a lot in its three years, but I'm really hoping that with this album, my band, and this style of music is catapulted. I work my ass off at this every single day, but in total honesty I always question whether or not what I'm doing has value to other people and the music community. You of all people know how it is, that when you have an idea that really isn't a thing before you venture into it, it's easy to only see all the bad stuff and focus on the gaps between the progress. We haven't done many concerts since our first album, mostly because I don't want to ask my bandmembers to do something for free unless I absolutely need them to, but it's hard to know exactly how something you're doing is impacting people.
CR: Oh, I definitely relate to that.
AW: Exactly. I'm legitimately terrified that I'm going to spend all this money on the release show and the album if there's not a demand for it. Most people who talk about RHP talk about it positively, but for all I know there's a huge group of people who think RHP is ruining the french horn. I've never had someone openly write to me and say I really and truly hate your stuff--
CR: --if that ever happens you have to frame it *laughter*--
AW: --Oh, if it ever happens it's absolutely going on the fridge. But for the record I absolutely welcome criticism. If that's really how you feel or think there's something I can do, then let's talk about it.
CR: I'm glad you see it that way, that criticism is something to be embraced. I mean you're not a student, you're not learning the basics, so God forbid what you're doing rubs someone the wrong way; that's kind of the whole point. I was speaking to Jade Simmons about this, and she said, "if you're not a worthy opponent, no one will think you're worthy of being opposed." Basically, do work that starts a conversation. So, the fact that you're feeling this way is actually a good thing. It means you're doing something worthwhile.
AW: That's a great sentiment. It's totally accurate, and that was my goal from the very beginning with Unbreakable, to push the boundaries of what the horn can do. I want to send a message to all classical musicians that if you have a unique skill you can offer to your instrument or your musical community, but you're not doing it, you're doing yourself and your community a disservice.
CR: That's really great, Adam. And you really do push the boundaries in Unbreakable. What I loved most when I listened to your album is that you seem to have a want and an ability to blend lots of differents styles. You have ballads, you have bluesy-funk vibes, jazz, I mean there are so many styles integrated into your album. As a horn player myself, I knew the horn was versatile, but man, some of the stuff you do is incredible! Not only does it encourage me to do challenge myself, but I just like the music.
AW: Well, thank you. The tracks on Unbreakable were written with really clear intent, and though I never really want to write for an audience, in this particular instance what I wanted to do as a composer worked out really well for different types of musicians who potentially could be interested in this album, with a very diverse set of genres.
CR: My favorite track on your album is "Flying High", but I see that you also have a track called "Unbreakable". How is the title of this track and the title of your album related?
AW: Well, I actually named the tune after the album instead of the other way around. Basically the album is about my time period when I quit music to when I started RHP. All of us at one point in life feel like we want to throw in the towel, but even in those breaking points, there are aspects of us that are unbreakable. I've gone through some really hard things in my life, some recent, some in the past, and the fact that I'm able to still go on with my day still surprises me. But, I feel that one of my defining unbreakable characteristic is that I will always fight for what I want; I cannot change that about myself, and quite frankly I don't want to. Even if that rubs people the wrong way, I found my resilience in fighting the standards that I couldn't fit into. So, in RHP and in "Unbreakable", I want it to be representative of the power and strength of the unbreakable parts of me.
CR: That's badass. Is "Unbreakable" your favorite track?
AW: It's hard to say which one is my favorite. All of the tunes are reflections of my emotions from various points in my life, and there were many emotions. I think people will find that it doesn't matter what mood they're in, the album reflects all basic emotions. So, no matter what kind of day they're having, something on this album will be relatable to them.
CR: I definitely agree. I hope you'll hear from people about their own unbreakable aspects of their being.
AW: Me too! Every now and then I get letters, notes or videos of people who share that with me. Recently I got a video of a horn player in South America who learned a hard RHP tune. They must have spent a ton of time on it, and I was so incredibly moved by that; that kid made my year.
CR: That's great! Did you have any final statements you'd like to leave with readers?
AW: Yes. The album is being released February 24th, and there's a release party on March 3rd in Hollywood. If you're not friends with me on Facebook, friend me on Facebook because that's how you're going to get the invite. But, other than that, I hope everyone digs Unbreakable; it's a very vulnerable thing expressing yourself like this, but it's something I'm ready to share with the world and see what the world thinks.
CR: Well, speaking for myself I love it. I won't put words in your mouth, but from what I gather from our conversation, this is your way to make a contribution to music, to art and to the horn. Not only that, it's something you're genuinely passionate about and love to do.
AW: Definitely. This is what I can offer to the music community, and no matter what happens from here on out, I at least believed in what I was doing and tried to break some barriers.
CR: Thanks so much, Adam! Good luck with your new album, and I wish you all the best!
AW: Thank you, Carrie!


text: Das Abteilung 1,069 #1 Posted March 31, 2018 It seems to have been announced today that the UK will rejoin the Boxer MRAV programme to satisfy the Medium Infantry Vehicle 8x8 APC requirement. This was always going to be an off the shelf purchase, not a development project. It is the successor programme to the cancelled FRES Utillity Vehicle project. There will be several variants, but none armed with anything more than an RWS with HMG or GMG. I believe there will be an 81mm mortar carrier. This will be a blow for GD who were on the cusp of having Piranha IV Evo (i.e Piranha 5) bought to meet the FRES UV requirement about 10 years ago. With P5 now being a mature product with customers they might have been hoping to pick up where they left off. Those of us with long memories will recall that we left the MRAV programme because the vehicle had grown too big and heavy to be C130 airportable. Then under FRES we realised that any 8x8 vehicle able to be sufficiently survivable couldn't possibly be made small or light enough to go in a C130, but by that time we had committed to both C17 and A400M which gave more space and weight. https://www.armyrecognition.com/march_2018_global_defense_security_army_news_industry/united_kingdom_british_army_is_rejoining_the_boxer_8x8_armored_program.html On the plus side for us modellers, a couple of kits of Boxer are already available in 1/35 so a UK variant(s) shouldn't be too much to wish for. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doctoral Degree in Organizational Management
The culmination of studies in organization interaction is a doctoral degree. This article will show you what you you can expect to research in economics and ethics during a doctoral program, and what it takes to obtain admission into a program. Schools offering Nonprofit Management & Leadership degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Is an Organizational Management Doctoral Degree?
This rigorous doctoral degree program is designed to teach students how people interact within organizations and demonstrate how positive human behavior benefits organizations. While your school may allow you to earn a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Organizational Management, it's more common for schools to offer a Ph.D. in Management and Organizations or a Ph.D. in Management of Organizations. The doctoral degree program lasts about 5-6 years beyond a bachelor's degree and provides you with an in-depth understanding of organizational design, risk management, human resources and employee management.
You're likely to gain an understanding of organizational theory and learn how those theories can be put in practice through strategic management and organization design. Many programs require students to take part in research studies that reveal the types of organizational management practices that may be best for an organization. In order to earn your Ph.D., you will need to complete and present a dissertation at the end of your studies. Because of the hands-on nature of doctoral programs, online versions of these programs are uncommon.
|Program Length
|Roughly 5-6 years
|Program Requirements
|Extensive research and dissertation
|Common Classes
|Entrepreneurship, business ethics, leadership, research and theory in business
|Bachelor's degree, GRE scores
|Median Salary (2018)*
|$78,470 (for postsecondary teachers)
|Job Outlook (2016-2026)*
|15% growth (for postsecondary teachers)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
What Kinds of Courses Might I Take?
Your courses may frequently combine the study of sociology, business, psychology, economics and management. Many classes teach you research strategies that can be applied to an organization as it evolves and changes. Class you might take in the program include:
- Economics
- Research and theory in business
- Leadership
- Entrepreneurship
- Business ethics
What Will I Need to Be Admitted to the Program?
You will need to hold an undergraduate degree to be considered for admission. Some schools prefer that you have professional experience, while others emphasize research and academics. You may be required to take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and to submit letters of recommendation and an essay. Acceptance into this program can be challenging because schools typically admit only a handful of students annually.

Sushi in Austin
- November 13, 2015

- 0 Comments
In a list of the 21 best sushi restaurants in America, would you expect to see Austin?
Maybe. Maybe not.
How about two Austin restaurants listed at #1? Because that's what just happened. Uchi and Uchiko coming in at #1 on the list.
Having been to both, I'm a fan. But I think this is a case of the grass feeling greener on the other side. I love visiting sushi restaurants in other cities, no matter how good the local spots are in Austin.

Today I got my copy of the Marigold Tarot deck and I was so excited that I did a couple free readings on Twitter right away. I was amazed at how relevant to the questions the cards were. This feels like a very focused deck and definitely more on the blunt side! The images are very inspiring and I feel like I can intuit more of a message myself rather than relying on my books to shine a light on the meanings therein.
I backed this deck on KS back around when I first started getting into tarot cards. I just knew that this deck would be The One and I'm so glad that it didn't disappoint. It's even better in person than I thought it would be. It shuffles like a dream and I feel so connected to it. I'm in love.
I'm getting more and more comfortable with doing tarot card readings for others. Sometimes I worry that my advice/reading is too generic, but I just can't get super in-depth for people I don't know very well.
I think that the fact that I drew that particular card (or cards) for them is already a message from the universe. I provide my interpretation based on what I see and what I know, but they're free to draw their own conclusions.
To me, tarot is a tool to help illuminate the depths of your own mind and heart. The cards provide a fresh perspective to a problem or guide you towards a decision that, deep down, is already made. I don't think they predict the future and I don't rely on them for that. So when I answer questions for people, I try to phrase them in that way, too. I can't tell somewhat what their future will be with absolute certainty, but I can remind them of something to consider—something that will make their future better.
I hope to become even more skilled and eloquent when it comes to the cards over time. I think this is the deck that will help me achieve that and I'm excited to hone my craft and grow with it in my spiritual toolbox.
Receiving this deck really brightened what would have been otherwise a pretty dull, busy day. I had a lot of trouble getting out of bed this morning. I am probably still lacking in sleep. I am stressed from work.
The first wave of the Without a Voice beta test has been going well and I do believe I've finally struck the right points:ending balance. It will be interesting to see how the next two waves handles it. We've planned three waves: the first, which is just friends/people we know to go over gameplay while we continue coding in/finishing assets. The second wave will be once I'm done coding in all the sprite expressions. The third and last will be when everything is done, shortly before we plan to release. We don't predict a lot of things will need to be changed during the last wave, but you never know what might come up at the last minute and it will be nice to get impressions on the "final product" before it gets shipped out.
This game has been such a labor of love and I'm so excited to share it.
Sadly, I don't think I'm going to be able to do Pastel Jam this weekend because I accidentally left my tablet at Kiki's place. I thought about doing simple drawings on my phone, but that's just not really want to want to do right now. It's a workaround and an annoying one at that. If I have to compromise, I'd rather not. Instead, I'm going to stop myself from spreading myself too thin. I need to focus on the things I need to focus on right now without getting overly excited about starting new projects. There will be plenty of time in my life for new proejcts and ideas.
I recently pledged to one of my artistic heroes Yumi Sakugawa on Patreon. She's been dropping all sorts of truth bombs and creatively-inclined things that I need to hear. I wish I could share more, but I'm not sure what the etiquette is for quoting things that are behind a paywall. I don't want to be "pirating" that content or anything... I hope she doesn't mind if I share just a little bit of her post that really resonated with me today:
Learn to keep your own word. Build integrity and self-trust with yourself. When you say you are going to do something, really believe in yourself and follow through.
That's so important. It takes 21 days to form a habit—and only a moment to break it. So even when it's hard, even when you don't really want to, you have to follow through on things. Not for your audience, not for anyone else but for yourself. Because once you fall off the bandwagon, deep inside you'll have convinced yourself that that behavior is okay. And with that complacency, you'll never get anything done and never change yourself for the better. I like that she calls it integrity. The post is literally titled "Do you have integrity with yourself?" Integrity with yourself. That really is the most important kind.

Update: AL Woman's Survival Story Stumps Producer
AL.com reports Jim Morton is having a hard time believing her survival. Morton is an Auburn graduated that has produced 8 Naked and Afraid episodes for Discovery channel. He filmed the episode that took place not far from where Lisa Theris was lost for 28 days in woodland Bullock County.
For those of you who haven't seen her viral story, she was found naked and dirty in Bullock County. She survived on water from a nearby brook and mushrooms and berries to eat.
Morton says he knows experts are brought in all the time to tell Naked and Afraid participants what they can and can't do wherever they are filming.
I've been going out there since I was a kid," Morton says. "Midway is actually where my dad is from. It's less than 10 miles away from where we were (during the filming of Naked and Afraid). It's all right there in the same kind of area.
But even out there in the middle of stuff, you can hear power saws, you can hear all kinds of things," Morton says. "You run into fences out there in the middle of the woods, and I mean, Alabama Power is all over the place. So you're always running into power lines and stuff like that."To me, unless you're hiding, or you're just sitting in one place, I don't know how you don't run into something to get out of there. It's not like you're in Belize or Guyana" (where Morton has filmed other Naked and Afraid episodes) where there's nobody there.
Theris claims it was exactly like that, especially since she is legally blind and did not have her glasses or contacts. Theris also maintains she does not remember how she ended up naked and lost in the Alabama woods.
We feel there is more to this story. Stay tuned.

See Rosario Dawson play a teen's crush in exclusive clip from romantic comedy 'Krystal'
Teenage boy Taylor (Nick Robinson) goes to an AA meeting to try and spend time with his crush (Rosario Dawson) in the romantic comedy "Krystal." USA TODAY
Currently finding love in Love, Simon, Nick Robinson continues his romantic streak with the new comedy Krystal. The object of affection this time around: Rosario Dawson.
Directed by (and co-starring) William H. Macy, the movie (in theaters April 13) features Robinson as Georgia boy Taylor Ogburn, an 18-year-old whose minor heart condition has caused his overprotective parents (Macy and real-life wife Felicity Huffman) to keep him away from anything stressful. The forbidden list includes sports, movies and, yep, love.
But "Tay-Tay" — as his older brother Campbell (Grant Gustin) calls him — throws caution to the wind when he sees Krystal (Dawson), a recovering alcoholic and former escort with a son (Jacob Latimore) who's only a little younger than Taylor himself.
To win Krystal's heart, Taylor decides to embrace his inner bad boy. And that's why, in this exclusive clip, he shows up at his crush's AA meeting even though he doesn't actually drink. The situation is made even worse when a nice Southern lady (Kathy Bates) sidles up to him and gets Taylor to introduce himself to the group, which is just crazy awkward for everybody.

Foresters compete in final WHAC Jamboree
by Eric Andrews - firstname.lastname@example.com
The Huntington University men's and women's bowling teams competed in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) Jamboree No. 4, held on Saturday at Astro Lanes in Madison Heights, Michigan.
The event was the final WHAC tournament of the regular season for the Foresters and consisted of four traditional games and four baker games.
On the women's side, the No. 15 Foresters earned a third-place finish out of the 12 teams competing at the event. Huntington blasted a total of 6,358 pins throughout the day.
Senior Brianna Cearbaugh led the way for the Foresters, as her 188.75 average game score paced Huntington.
Senior Heidi Tucker followed closely behind Cearbaugh with an average game score of 184.25 to help Huntington to their podium finish in the event.
Both Cearbaugh and Tucker earned spots on the All-Tournament Team as a result of their strong play. Additionally, the pair finished third and fifth in the event's individual play.
Senior Abby Atkins also helped the Foresters in their conquest, averaging 178 points per game to finish in 14th place individually at the tournament.
Despite finishing in third place overall, Huntington held the lead early in the tournament before fizzling down the stretch with a number of missed spares throughout the day.
"I think the ladies are heading in a good direction with the Hoosier Classic coming up soon," said head coach Mike Shockey in a press release. "The seniors stepped (up) this weekend with Brianna, Heidi and Abby all finishing in the top 15 (at the tournament)."
With the tournament serving as the final conference contest of the season, Huntington grabbed the second spot in the WHAC standings in their inaugural season as part of the conference, a significant accomplishment.
Meanwhile, Huntington's men's team claimed an eighth-place finish at the tournament out of the 13 teams competing by knocking down a total of 6,431 pins throughout the day.
The Foresters received a 184.25 game score average from sophomore Austin Schultz to guide Huntington. Senior Justin Coleman's 181.25 points per game average trailed closely behind Schultz's mark to help Huntington in their showing.
With the tournament being the final WHAC event of the season, the Foresters finish their conference season in seventh place in the WHAC standings. Huntington will return to action on Feb. 16 and 17, traveling to Indianapolis to battle in the Backhaul Direct Hoosier Classic, a Tier 1 event, at Western Bowl. The tournament will be the Foresters' final competition of the regular season before they compete in the individual and team sectional qualifying events in March.

Paul Ryan may cap off his time as House speaker by shutting down part of the federal government, barring an unexpected breakthrough this week.
Such an exit by Ryan would stand in stark contrast to his predecessor, John Boehner. The previous GOP House speaker struck a budget deal at the end of his tenure in 2015 to avert a shutdown and extend the government's borrowing limit.
Government funding expires Friday night for nine government departments and various independent agencies. Ryan and other House GOP leaders haven't tried to pass a spending bill that meets President Donald Trump's demand for $5 billion for a border wall, nor have they proposed any alternative.
Senate Republicans also seem to be stumped. They met Monday night in an effort to find a solution to please Trump as well as Democrats who are willing to spend no more than $1.37 billion on border fencing, but admitted afterward they'd made no progress.
"It looks like it's going to have to build for a few days before there's a solution out there," third-ranking Senate Republican John Thune of South Dakota.
If there's a plan to avoid a shutdown, "whoever drew it up is keeping it to themselves," said Senate Appropriations panel member John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican.
'Proud' of Shutdown
The president said last week he would be "proud" to shut the government if it will force Democrats to give in to his demands. Thune said the ball "is kind of in his court." Ryan has supported Trump's demands for $5 billion but also has said a shutdown "makes no sense."
With the speaker's support, lawmakers made progress with spending bills in recent months. Six of 15 government departments — representing about three-fourths of the discretionary spending — are funded through Sept. 30, 2019, under legislation signed by Trump earlier this year.
A partial shutdown would hit agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the departments of Homeland Security, Treasury, Justice, and Interior. More than 420,000 federal employees would work without pay and more than 380,000 workers would be sent home.
Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said in an email that funding 75 percent of the government marked "significant progress," and that during the current lame-duck session Congress has passed a farm bill, an anti-sexual harassment bill and is moving toward passage of a criminal justice overhaul.
"By all objective measures, it's been a remarkably productive year for bills being passed and signed into law," Strong said. Boehner couldn't be reached through a spokesman.
Boehner's deal allowed Ryan of Wisconsin to begin his speakership in late 2015 focused on other issues. Boehner had declared he was going to "clean the barn" as a parting gift for the incoming speaker, resolving tough issues that could have tested Ryan early on.
"Thank God Boehner gave Ryan a clean slate going in," said retiring Republican Dennis Ross of Florida.
Budget Deal
Boehner — hounded out of the speaker's office by his own party's conservatives — pushed through a sweeping budget deal that ended threats of a government shutdown or debt default until 2017.
That measure passed 266 to 167 — with 187 Democrats providing most of the votes in favor, aided by 79 Republicans. On the same day, the House approved a three-week extension of federal transportation programs that gave Ryan more time on that, too.
But Ross said Ryan appears less inclined to clear the way for his successor, likely to be Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat. Pushing a compromise would likely stir the ire of conservatives.
Boehner won the support of enough Republicans to pass the 2015 deal, brushing aside conservatives' opposition. Ross said he isn't sure Ryan could get as many Republicans to go along with Democrats on a spending bill now.
'Missing in Action'
"Ryan simply doesn't have that clout, or is choosing not to use it," said Representative Gerald Connolly, a Virginia Democrat. He said Ryan has been "missing in action much of the time" since his April announcement that he wasn't running for re-election.
"He limps out of town a very diminished political figure, morally and legislatively," said Connolly.
If Ryan agrees to a stopgap spending deal, without wall funding, some House conservatives said they won't be happy.
Republican Mark Meadows of North Carolina, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and a leading Trump ally, said there's no benefit to dropping the demand for $5 billion in wall funding. He said most Americans will support Trump "in making sure his campaign promises are fulfilled."
Rutgers University political science professor Ross Baker said it isn't surprising that Boehner and Ryan would depart the speaker's job in different ways — because they entered into it differently.
He said Boehner of Ohio fought to win the job, wanting it "very badly." Boehner "cared deeply about making deals with a Democratic president and, like the good soldier that he was, was good at mopping up," said Baker.
"Ryan never wanted the job," said Baker, adding the that former GOP vice presidential candidate "was always more of a bean-counter than an institutionalist."
