1. U. S. Constitution -- U.S. Constitution
   The intention of the U.S. Constitution in establishing a bicameral Congress was that each chamber would serve as a check on the other. The larger and more frequently elected House of Representatives would more directly reflect changing public opinion, while the smaller Senate, whose members serve longer terms, would serve as a more level-headed and deliberative body. At the same time, the House's rules and procedures for introducing and debating bills are much more strict than those of the Senate. Although it is often thought of as the lower chamber of Congress, the House has some powers that the Senate doesn't. For example, all appropriations bills must originate in the House. In addition, the House can impeach officials, and has the power to elect the President in the case of a tie in the electoral college.
2. The Beat
   The Beat were all about inclusion, rather than exclusion, and this showed in their personnel and their music influences. The six member band consisted of Dave Wakeling on vocals and guitar, Andy Cox on guitar, David Steele on bass, Everett Morton on drums, Ranking Roger on vocals and toasting, and foundational first wave ska legend Saxa on saxophone. Shortly after the release of their first album, Dave Wright aka Blockhead joined the band on keyboard. The band crossed over fluidly between soul, reggae, pop and punk, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. Along with their contemporaries The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, The Beat became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of the British ska movement.

5. Vic Reeves -- Nancy Sorrell
   Vic Reeves is in his kitchen. Or at least what remains of it. Today he, his wife Nancy and their baby twins are moving from their converted church outhouse in Kent to a larger property a couple of miles away and among the few items that have still to be boxed up are a handful of CDs perched against the cooker, including one by Seventies jazz-rock oddballs Henry Cow.
6. Capitol Reef National Park -- Fremont River
   Capitol Reef National Park is a vast network of canyons running for several hundred miles from north to south. With vast slickrock terraces and year-round streams and rivers, this is a gem of a park. Hickman Bridge, The Burr Trail and Cathedral Valley are but a few of the wonders found here.
