Hybrid rudiments are "unofficial" rudiments (i.e. not one of the 40 international rudiments defined by the National Association of Rudimental Drummers and later the Percussive Arts Society), and are usually created by combining one or more of the standard rudiments in new ways to create new sticking patterns. Over the years, many hybrid patterns have been informally identified and given creative names, although most of these are based upon the original 40.
Hybrids are a "grass roots" effort, and the fact that they have never been organized by a sanctioning body has been the cause of some confusion. For example, the primitive created by placing a grace note in front of a drag is known as a "cheese" in some circles and a "cherta" in others. A Flamadiddle with an additional grace note in front of the diddle is sometimes called a "Flamafliddle" and others a "Flama-flam tap". So some inconsistencies and redunancies in the names are to be expected.
Official Hybrids
An argument could be made that many of the official 40 rudiments are themselves hybrids, for example:
* Flam + Drag = Flamdrag
* Flam + Paradiddle = Flamadiddle
* Drag + Paradiddle = Dragadiddle

Hybrids are a "grass roots" effort, and the fact that they have never been organized by a sanctioning body has been the cause of some confusion. For example, the primitive created by placing a grace note in front of a drag is known as a "cheese" in some circles and a "cherta" in others. A Flamadiddle with an additional grace note in front of the diddle is sometimes called a "Flamafliddle" and others a "Flama-flam tap". So some inconsistencies and redunancies in the names are to be expected.

Journey Community Church is a holistic missional Christian Community in Dallas, Texas. The church, while independent, is often considered a part of the "emerging" or Emergent Church movement.
History
Journey began as a dream. The staff and leadership of Gaston Oaks Baptist Church, in concert with a small leadership team and Scott Gornto, envisioned a place in Dallas where people could experience authenticity, creativity, struggle, beauty, and justice. The first Journey Gathering was held on June 5, 1999, with ten charter community members. Journey became a home for many who were searching for a different kind of community.
Journey continued to grow slowly and relationally, and in 2001, the Journey Gathering became Journey Church. With this change came increased responsibility and reliance on community members to serve through an intern program, leadership teams (Elders and Leaders), teaching team, the band, as well as various small groups and ministry teams.
In November 2004, the founding pastor, Scott Gornto, stepped down and handed the leadership of Journey to the Elders, Leaders, and community. During the next nine months community members offered their time and talents, continuing to embody the vision and values of Journey.
Danielle Grubb Shroyer (and her family, Dan, Mia, and Grant) joined the Journey family on August 7, 2005, and she currently serves as Journey Pastor. In December 2006, Luke Miller joined the church staff as Community Pastor. Michael Meals serves as Journey's music guy.
In April 2006, Journey moved from GOBC to a transitional space at Northway Church. When you walk into one of the gatherings, the hope is that the creative spirit is evident in a space where all are free to worship in diverse and holistic ways.
Journey continues to be a family of pilgrims, committed to faith transformation, within and outside our walls. They invite you to join the community and learn more about where God is taking them as they seek to live as people of God in today's world.

Interhall Council (IHC) is the residence student government at the University of Guelph. It holds one seat on the board of directors.
History
Interhall Council is second largest student organization on campus after the CSA, and has been a part of the University of Guelph community since 1969. The IHC is responsible for representating students, advocation, and event planning for the 5000 residence students at the University of Guelph.
Structure
The IHC consists of over 60 elected student representatives. The IHC Board, consisting of the various Hall Presidents and Central Executive, meet on a weekly basis. Each hall also holds weekly meetings facilitated by the Hall President and Hall Executives. Interhall is made up of an executive branch, a representative branch, ex-officio members, and the Guelph Residence Hall Honorary (GRHH).
Central Executive
The Central Executive is composed of 6 elected student executives who coordinate IHC as a whole. The Executive meets weekly separate from IHC meetings and each member has a distinct portfolio to fulfill.
*President: is the representative to the University Administration and outside community and is responsible for the operations of IHC as a Student Organization Registrar Group.
*VP of Internal Affairs: is the support person for the President, and is responsible for the Progress Review Committee (PRC) and the committee representation for Interhall Council.
*VP of Finance: is responsible for all Interhall funds, including overseeing the Hall budgets and Central Executive portfolios.
*VP of Activities: is responsible for all IHC events, including overseeing the Hall Social Coordinators, and all Central IHC events.
*VP of Communications: is IHC's representative to outside groups, in particular the Ontario Residence Hall Association (ORHA), and the Great Lakes Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (GLACURH). This person is also Interhall's representative on the Central Student Association (CSA) Board of Directors.
*VP of Operations: is responsible for writing meeting minutes at IHC meetings and the organization and function of the IHC office. The VP of Operations is also the Editor-in-Chief of Herd the Werd and is responsible for the IHC website.
Hall Executives
The 12 residence halls each have a Hall Executive made up of three to five members, depending on the individual hall. Each Hall Executive is responsible for representing their respective halls to IHC and the community and planning hall events. The Hall President represents their halls at the weekly IHC meeting and is financially responsible for the hall. The Vice-President, Social Coordinator, Operations Manager and Public Relations Officer make up the other Executive positions. Their responsibilities, again, depending on the individual hall, include planning and administrating hall events, distributing hall clothing, recording meeting minutes and advertising hall events. Macdonald Hall has Senior Representatives as a part of their Executive. Most halls have Hall Executive positions that are open to first year students and are elected each year in September.
Hall Council
Each residence hall holds weekly Hall Council meetings where residence students can represent their section's views and help plan hall events.
Ex-Officio Members
IHC Ex-Officio members are non-elected IHC members who advise and assist with IHC business. This consists of the IHC Chairperson, IHC Advisor, and Guelph Residence Hall Honorary (GRHH) Coordinator.
The Interhall Chairperson facilitates the weekly IHC meetings and acts as an advisor to the IHC Executive. The Chair is an impartial member, and essential to Interhall. The Interhall advisor is normally a staff member from Student Housing Services. The advisor sits in on weekly IHC meetings, and assists IHC members as an impartial external counselor. The GRHH Coordinator is the chair of the GRRH committee and is responsible for the function of the Guelph Residence Hall Honorary program.
Activities
Orientation Week (in conjunction with the Orientation Team)
Interhall assists in the recruitment, selection and training of Orientation Volunteers, the administration of new student move-in, and runs a large number of on-campus events. IHC members are also noticeable leaders on campus (wearing striped red, gold, and black socks) during Orientation Week who can provide security and answer questions. The individual Hall Councils are also charged with planning hall events, encouraging their students to get involved during the week, and creating the hall boogie for the legendary Pep Rally.
Campus Committees
IHC members sit on many committees committees throughout campus such as Residence Advisory Board, Hospitality Services Advisory Committee, Single Student Budget Committee, Students Rights & Responsibilities, Judicial and the Hearing Board.

History
Interhall Council is second largest student organization on campus after the CSA, and has been a part of the University of Guelph community since 1969. The IHC is responsible for representating students, advocation, and event planning for the 5000 residence students at the University of Guelph.
Structure
The IHC consists of over 60 elected student representatives. The IHC Board, consisting of the various Hall Presidents and Central Executive, meet on a weekly basis. Each hall also holds weekly meetings facilitated by the Hall President and Hall Executives. Interhall is made up of an executive branch, a representative branch, ex-officio members, and the Guelph Residence Hall Honorary (GRHH).
Central Executive
The Central Executive is composed of 6 elected student executives who coordinate IHC as a whole. The Executive meets weekly separate from IHC meetings and each member has a distinct portfolio to fulfill.
*President: is the representative to the University Administration and outside community and is responsible for the operations of IHC as a Student Organization Registrar Group.
*VP of Internal Affairs: is the support person for the President, and is responsible for the Progress Review Committee (PRC) and the committee representation for Interhall Council.

Hall Executives
The 12 residence halls each have a Hall Executive made up of three to five members, depending on the individual hall. Each Hall Executive is responsible for representing their respective halls to IHC and the community and planning hall events. The Hall President represents their halls at the weekly IHC meeting and is financially responsible for the hall. The Vice-President, Social Coordinator, Operations Manager and Public Relations Officer make up the other Executive positions. Their responsibilities, again, depending on the individual hall, include planning and administrating hall events, distributing hall clothing, recording meeting minutes and advertising hall events. Macdonald Hall has Senior Representatives as a part of their Executive. Most halls have Hall Executive positions that are open to first year students and are elected each year in September.
Hall Council
Each residence hall holds weekly Hall Council meetings where residence students can represent their section's views and help plan hall events.
Ex-Officio Members
IHC Ex-Officio members are non-elected IHC members who advise and assist with IHC business. This consists of the IHC Chairperson, IHC Advisor, and Guelph Residence Hall Honorary (GRHH) Coordinator.
The Interhall Chairperson facilitates the weekly IHC meetings and acts as an advisor to the IHC Executive. The Chair is an impartial member, and essential to Interhall. The Interhall advisor is normally a staff member from Student Housing Services. The advisor sits in on weekly IHC meetings, and assists IHC members as an impartial external counselor. The GRHH Coordinator is the chair of the GRRH committee and is responsible for the function of the Guelph Residence Hall Honorary program.
