BT1469 is the current designation for the BT Group expenses form/envelope. As of February 2008, the current version is "Issue 4 February 2006". The envelope is an A5 manila envelope which on the front side contains the BT logo, the phrase "Expenses", the addressee "Office Service Box: eBE" and is marked "Internal Use Only". The reverse side contains a form headed "Expenses Receipts" and requests information such as claim number, amount, Employee Identification Number, etc.
Bitter Dino is a slang term created and used by the Dragonlance fandom. The concept behind the term is based on the idea that the longer a fan remains a part of the fandom, not only does he or she garner a massive amount of knowledge about the subject but also the more jaded he or she becomes, not only of the source of his or her interest but of other newer members in the fan community as well. Bitter Dino is technically a derogatory term, inferring that the person has spent so much time as a fan that he or she has grown overly cynical in ongoing community discussion. While this may be the case, some fans (especially those belonging to the newsgroup AFDL or Alt.Fan.Dragonlance and the members of the DLML or Dragonlance Mailing List) look upon the term as an indication of higher status or as a symbol that reflects upon their years of contribution in the fan community.
Etymology
Bitter Dino is derived from various slang terms used by the Dragonlance fandom to describe a fan's age, and history of involvement within the online community. In response to the term newbie, newcomers to the online community refer veteran fans as Dinosaurs or Dinos for short. As the Dino becomes cynical, the Bitter prefix is added to the title.

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

A Flamadiddle with an additional grace note in front of the diddle is sometimes called a "Flamafliddle" and others a "Flama-flam tap".

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.
