 our doom. It’s up to Psychostick to save us-and the world- from the inevitable demise that awaits us. If they don’t, we risk losing the world we live in and- even worse- women everywhere will completely lose interest in sexual activity. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen- no coitus for anyone!
Luckily, Psychostick uses the power of metal to stop the time portal and saves the world- and the sexual lives of men everywhere. This leads to the final track- “The Power of Metal Compels You,” where we see Psychostick defeating the dastardly time portal and saving the world- or so we think. The final line is “wait, what’s that!?,” as we hear a “boom” and the end of the album.
To top it all off, we get more outtakes, which has become a staple of the Psychostick album.
After an impressive album in 2011 and three solid years of continuous touring, Psychostick have got to be exhausted. Not only have they given us a record that’s just as good as its predecessor, they’ve given us a huge album in 21 songs.
IV: Revenge of the Vengeance isn’t just a Psychostick album, it’s a Psychostick experience. They really went all out on this album. Not all of it makes sense and some of it may be a little over the top, but that’s what makes this band so great- they aren’t afraid to push the envelope of ridiculousness. In fact, they bask in it.
Get ready, world. Get ready for the revenge of the vengeance and one of the most action-packed metal albums ever concocted.AMSF, founded in 1988, provides resources and encouragement to non-professional adult musicians striving for growth in musical skill and understanding.

Hey, my pleasure. Figured it would be fun.
And FYI to all, Chad couldn't have been all bad, he's been given a pass to Germany to play with Team Canada - or to ride the bench, but either way it's a good experience for the puck stopping prospect.You’re contradicting yourself though - if it’s something to be celebrated as meaningful there’s no reason not to feature it as an accomplishment. The people for whom it’s meaningful welcome it being celebrated as such. She is highly qualified.  She wouldn’t be on the Court without Biden’s nomination and Senate confirmation. Democrats, particularly black
democrats, are happy about this as a first for the court and as a promise kept. All these things are true, it would be dumb not to celebrate itLast week an analyst at the Center for American Progress penned an interesting take on remarks (pdf via cache) by National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel at an EWA conference. His remarks hadn’t received a lot of attention so it was a good catch. Good enough that I returned the next day to send the link to a colleague. Except it was gone, replaced by a sad 404 message. Later, a new version without any mention of the revisions appeared. You can read that version here.
From where I sit the new version doesn’t undo the old one, but after a few omissions and commissions it’s definitely a great deal more NEA-friendly. Paired with the first version it’s also a lot more revealing. CAP’s done some great work on the issue of compensation reform and their editorial process is theirs to decide, obviously, but the switcharoo points up some interesting issues.
First, an old one. The changes are a good example of how teachers union leaders frequently use different language in front of different audiences. Davis Guggenheim famously caught AFT President Randi Weingarten doing this in “Waiting for Superman” and for those who move among public and private settings, examples abound. In this case, “forward thinking,” in the words of the first version, and the positioning the piece implied doesn’t play well with every audience, especially key internal ones. And the problem with published pieces as opposed to non-recorded remarks is that they become visible to multiple audiences as they travel around, not just the one you aimed for.
Second, NEA’s leadership may be trying to find a way to move away from “steps and lanes” salary schedules because while pitching them as an idea intended to keep salaries low is historically inaccurate, it is a politically smart way into a hard conversation about fixing what is generally regarded as a broken approach to compensation. That’s an old story, too, think Bob Chase and new unionism. But, as stories and narratives go, in this context it’s an interesting and possibly smart one.
As for what version is “better?” Neither. But together they tell an important story about where the nation’s largest teachers union is on an important and evolving issue.Visit in person

Categories: Human ServicesLou Adler, CEO of the Adler Group, a consulting firm and author of The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired recently wrote an article for Inc.com. In this brief article, Adler answers the question, What is the only interview question that matters. He promises that this single question will provide depth and breadth of insight needed to “reach a fast, unanimous... decision.” Whether you are an interviewer or potential employee, this information in invaluable.
This 36 year recruiting industry veteran took 10 years to find a question that would yield a unanimous agreement from hiring managers. His quest began after realizing that “more than 90 percent of hiring managers think they’re good interviewers, yet rarely... reach unanimous hiring decision...”. The question Adler found is so simple, yet incredibly powerful:
What single project or task would you consider your most significant accomplishment in your career to date?
Unpacking the answer to this question is all in delving into the details, Adler writes. He warns, “Don’t spend time asking clever interview questions.” Listen to the answer, and begin to connect the dots, so to speak. The secret is not in the question. Adler just defines that as a setup. The secret is the details that are foundational to the accomplishment. From this question you can ask follow up questions and gain insight into why the person was chosen for the task, challenges faced,
