Linda Chorney performed her original music for 30 years, waiting for her big break. At the tender age of 51, Chorney recorded the album of her dreams, Emotional Jukebox, earning her a Grammy nomination. She made history as the first completely independent singer-songwriter without a manager, publicist or record label to achieve recognition in this category. The industry, however, was not pleased that an outsider had slipped past the gatekeepers. They tried to undermine her nomination and destroy her career, from accusations of cheating to actual death threats. They were the Bill Buckners and Chorney was the ball that got through their legs. And, in the end, the industry figured out a way to get a bigger glove. From the elation to the agony of her hilarious, unbridled, unbelievable underdog journey, this is your backstage pass to the inside story of the Grammy’s. Fasten your seatbelts for a wild right with Linda, as she sings, drops f-bombs, her drawers, the occasional mother’s little helpers, and eventually lands on the Red Carpet. And get a taste of what the indie artist’s life is like--the kind of artist who does it all for the love of making music. Linda Chorney’s latest album Emotional Jukebox was nominated for a Best Americana Album Grammy Award. Highlights in her career thus far have been breaking the Top 40 Adult Contemporary Charts, and singing for Nelson Mandela, in front of a crowd of 250,000 humans. And of course playing in Sports bars where no one is listening. Who the F&*% is Linda Chorney is her first book.

Not since Pearl Harbor has an American president gone to Congress to request a declaration of war. Yet since then, one president after another, from Truman to Obama, has ordered American troops into wars all over the world. From Korea to Vietnam, Panama to Grenada, Lebanon to Bosnia, Afghanistan to Iraq—why have presidents sidestepped declarations of war? Marvin Kalb, former chief diplomatic correspondent for CBS and NBC News, explores this key question in The Road to War—his thirteenth book about the presidency and U.S. foreign policy. Instead of a declaration of war, presidents have justified their war-making powers by citing “commitments,” private and public, made by former presidents. Many of these commitments have been honored, but some betrayed. Surprisingly, given the tight U.S.-Israeli relationship, Israeli leaders feel that at times they have been betrayed by American presidents. In The Road to War, Kalb asks: Is it time for a negotiated defense treaty between the United States and Israel as a way of substituting for a string of secret presidential commitments? As Kalb explains in The Road to War, the word of a president can morph into a national commitment. It can become the functional equivalent of a declaration of war. Therefore, whenever a president “commits”the United States to a policy or course of action with, or increasingly without, congressional approval, watch out—the White House may be setting the nation on a road toward war. Marvin Kalb focuses on the impact of media on public policy and politics. He is also an expert in national security, with a focus on U.S. relations with Russia, Europe and the Middle East. His most recent previous book is Haunting Legacy: Vietnam and the American Presidency from Ford to Obama.

Entry Fee: Entry fee is $15, $10 for 'Ard Boyz members

Rules: 35 Baseline, full format details are available at Privateer Press- Steamroller Tournaments

Prizes: Store credit based upon attendance

Ever wonder what an army of all choir priests could do on a battlefield? Ever look down at the table and think, "Man, I shoulda brought more Kossites"? What about that time when you needed like, 3 more corrupters? Well, here's your chance to live out those dreams.

In this tournament, you are invited to bring your worst 35 pt list, in terms of synergy, match ups, and damage output. Make the worst list you can, following normal force organization rules, and bring it to the tournament. Once there, you switch lists with your opponent each round and try to beat your own list with what ever cripple army you were handed.

There are some guide lines in construction though. 1) You cannot take models that are impossible to field. Example; no taking 10 incubi in a list of only beasts. 2) If you take models that can make more models, like Goreshade or Afflictors, you must bring an appropiate number of extra models. 3) Hordes lists must include enough beasts with a combined fury total that equals or excedes their warlocks fury stat. Example; pMadrak must have at least one Fury 5 beast to fill his Fury total of 5, or 2 Fury 3 beasts. And 4) Lists must be the full 35 plus Warcaster/Warlock points; no short-changing your opponent.

This will be a 3-4 round event, depending on attendance. Entry fee is $15, $10 for 'Ard Boyz members. Registration starts at 11 and dice roll no later than 12. Hope to see you guys and your terrible armies there!
