On October 2, 1863, Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler's cavalry destroyed a Union supply train on the side of Walden's Ridge near the present site of Taft Highway from Chattanooga into Dunlap. Wheeler's Raid could have led to a decisive victory for the Confederates in the Civil War's western theatre.
Wheeler had destroyed the last Union supply line into the strategically significant city of Chattanooga. Union Gen. William Rosecrans' army had suffered a nearly catastrophic defeat at Chickamauga two weeks earlier and was in increasingly dire shape. Suffering under the siege of Chattanooga, Rosecrans' soldiers would eventually be reduced to quarter rations, "four cakes of hard bread and a quarter pound of pork" every three days - the equivalent of a small portion of bread and a couple forkfuls of pork each day. But the Confederates were ultimately unable to maintain the supply blockade and the siege, and the opportunity was lost.
After Chickamauga, the beleaguered Rosecrans withdrew to Chattanooga, with the Confederate army under Gen. Braxton Bragg occupying the high ground surrounding the city. With this advantage, the Confederates gained control of the incoming roads and railroads along the Tennessee River. Rosecrans had relied on these roads to bring supplies from Bridgeport, including a road on the north bank of the river that Confederate artillery on Raccoon Mountain had rendered useless.
Bragg was thus progressing on his goal to starve the Federals into submission. Now that the most reliable supply lines had been cut, Bragg turned his attention to nearby Union supply depots to the north and west, and the last remaining Union supply line into Chattanooga, a cumbersome 60-mile route from Bridgeport through the Sequatchie Valley and over Walden's Ridge. Bragg gave the orders to his experienced and respected cavalry leaders, Gen. Wheeler and Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, to carry out this mission.
Bragg had previously reassigned Forrest's command to Wheeler, and the relationship between the two generals was becoming increasingly strained. Forrest had proclaimed earlier in the year that he would "be in his coffin" before fighting again under Wheeler. In spite of the friction, the combined forces (following their meeting at Cottonport, Tenn., on Sept. 30) numbered 4,000 cavalrymen and six pieces of artillery.
Wheeler proceeded to split his force, with one division eventually destroying a Federal supply depot in McMinville, and other supply stations and railroad bridges along the road to Murfreesboro and Nashville.
Leading "1,500 of his best men," Wheeler advanced and broke through Federal cavalry near Decatur, Tenn. He then moved across Walden's Ridge via Poe Road (near the present site of Highway 111 across Walden's Ridge) toward Anderson's Pike, where he camped at Henson's Gap. Heavy rains had begun to fall in late September, and with Anderson's Pike as the only open supply road into Chattanooga, the heavy use by Union wagon trains and the rain caused mud "as deep as the horses' chests."
Early in the morning of Oct. 2, Wheeler moved south down the Sequatchie Valley. After capturing a small train of 32 wagons south of Dunlap, he overtook the main body of the thinly guarded 10-mile long wagon train that stretched from the top of Walden's Ridge into the valley, and that was loaded with ordinance and food.
Under orders to "kill the mules and burn the wagons," Wheeler's men hit the side of the train and proceeded to pillage for eight hours, with estimates of the capture or destruction of up to 700 wagons and more than 1,000 mules. As the raid was ending, Wheeler repulsed an attack by Union cavalry on his rear guard and fled toward McMinnville.
During the raid, Wheeler's men reportedly found ample supplies of whiskey. Some believe that this contributed to a number of losses in Wheeler's forces over the week following the raid, as Union cavalry aggressively pursued the Confederates and recaptured some of the mules and wagons. One commentator proclaimed that Wheeler's "once proud command was all but wrecked."
Following the Confederacy's success with Wheeler's Raid and with the siege of Chattanooga continuing, many historians believe that the Confederates could have forced the surrender of the vulnerable Union army in Chattanooga, or destroyed it by starvation. But it was not to be, as President Lincoln and his staff moved quickly to remove General Rosecrans and send Ulysses Grant to Chattanooga, and the tide in the campaign quickly began to turn.

Lyme Symptoms – One tick bite has changed my life!
I clearly remember the day I stepped out of my house to play golf with friends. I was enjoying my game, up to the time which one of my shot landed in a bushy wooden spot, distant from a golf open area. I took out my golf ball and suddenly, I supposed a bug bit me. I felt extreme intolerable pain. I did not have any similar feeling of pain before. Probably, one or two weeks later, I observed a small, patchy red rash surrounding the bite. I started getting a feeling of being exhausted, my heart rate was increased and ears started ringing. At that time, I behaved abnormally. Maybe these were the initial Lyme symptoms. (Lyme disease on drugs.com) I visited a nearby clinic and narrated to doctor about my symptoms and my weird behavior. He said that I was suffering from a mental disorder and that I need to see a psychiatrist.
Then, I approached an analyst who sent me to another analyst, then to another and so forth.
This vicious series continued until I met a specialist, who checked my rash and told me that I had Lyme disease symptoms, and was suffering from this disease. He started my treatment immediately. I had to take huge dosages of medicines every day to cure Lyme disease. Although I was under medication, it was just the beginning of series of diseases. I developed the high fever, muscular disorder, and arthritis. These are the advanced Lyme disease symptoms.
I believed Lyme disease was ruining my life. My life changed with the symptoms of Lyme Disease
I underwent some intense medical treatment to treat Lyme disease, which helped me to recuperate fast. Some people assume that may be I had this really strong will power to lead the active life again.
Now, I am here back to normalcy although, I still have these frequent Lyme disease symptoms as bouts of fever and feel fatigued at times. I made intensive research on Lyme diseases. I found that the cause of it is a tick bite. These ticks are mostly found in wooded areas. If not treated on time, the Lyme disease disrupts the entire functioning of the body.
One tick bite has changed my life. However, my illness has taught me that we need to be always careful in life.
People should note and be aware of Lyme disease symptoms. Therefore, this is my story, the reality of living with Lyme disease.
Overcome your Lyme Disease in 72 Hours or less using a safe, natural home remedy!

A July 2016 notice from the Treasury Department and IRS was published in the Federal Register to provide the oil reference price for the enhanced oil recovery credit. The July 2016 notice explained that given the oil reference price was dramatically lower than last year, the enhanced oil recovery credit would possibly be available in 2016 for the first time since 2005. Subsequently, the IRS issued Notice 2016-44 providing the enhanced oil recovery inflation adjustment factor.
In the Internal Revenue Bulletin [PDF 124 KB] released for August 22, 2016, the IRS included Announcement 2016-29 to correct Notice 2016-44 on the enhanced oil recovery inflation adjustment factor. Specifically, Announcement 2016-29 provides the following correction:
Correction 1:
In the third paragraph, the calculation providing that $28 multiplied by 1.6464 = $46.01 is incorrect. The calculation should instead state that $28 multiplied by 1.6464 = $46.10.

UK Internet Marketing Training - London, Manchester & Portsmouth
January 8, 2013
I am not referring to a short list of things you can do to achieve success with Internet marketing. Rather, you can use the technique of creating a short list to ensure that you have the most successful and profitable business dealings with subcontractors and vendors. This is especially useful for Internet marketing, since you have a global pool of subcontractors and vendors.
What is a short list?
For any situation where you are accepting proposals from a wide variety of vendors or subcontractors, you want to get the best deal that you can. The best deal is not always the least expensive deal, although price is usually a component. Your short list consists of those vendors or subcontractors whom you are confident could adequately perform what you are requesting, for a price that would not give you too much heartburn. If you threw a dart at the list of names, no matter where it hit, you would be satisfied with hiring that business or person.
Get better deals with a short list
Since only the best proposals will make it onto your short list, the vendors and subcontractors are motivated to offer you the best deal they possibly can upfront, rather than holding out for concessions during negotiations. Once you know which vendors and subcontractors are on your short list, you can compare their deals, and ask them for modifications. For example, if you were asking for a graphic design to be created and only one of the businesses included a free revision of the design, you could ring up the other people on your short list and ask them if they would also offer a free revision of their design. It may be that others didn't mention this on their bids even though it is part of their service because you hadn't explicitly asked for it, or would consider including it in exchange for some feature they normally offer which you didn't want.
Using a short list
In order for a short list to be effective, your vendors and subcontractors must know that you will be assembling a short list, and then coming back only to those that make the short list for a final set of negotiations. When you send out your initial request for proposals, tell everyone that you will be assembling a short list within a week of when the proposals are due – if you are getting fewer proposals, you will need fewer days to read and consider them all – and that you will contact everyone on that list before making your final decision. Also, consider their ability to follow your explicit directions regarding submitting their best proposals and awaiting your contact as a sign of how likely they are to follow your directions in completing the project you assign them.

The thought that Barca could achieve what eluded them last time, when they could not capitalise on a three-quarter share of possession, has absorbed much of the manager's thoughts in the build-up to the second Group H match day on Tuesday.
"Yes, that goes through my mind 100 per cent," said Lennon. "That's why Fraser Forster is so important. He made some big saves in the game last year, like the one he tipped over from Messi. He made some great saves in the Nou Camp as well.
"If we go a goal down, can we stay in the game and force them into making a mistake? What you don't want is a spanking, and they will come aiming to rectify what went on last year so, yes, I'm very mindful of that as well.
"We're playing them a little bit earlier this season, but last year they were unbeaten in all competitions. They're unbeaten this season again."
On Saturday night Barcelona recorded a seventh straight win with a 2-0 victory over Almeria, but the result was overshadowed by an injury to goalscorer Lionel Messi, who held his thigh when he was substituted in the 29th minute.
For a spell in Saturday's visit to Ayrshire it seemed as though Celtic would do a Barca and steamroller their Kilmarnock. Despite a bright start, during which Kris Boyd planted a point-blank header off Forster, the hosts found themselves 3-0 down midway through the first half.
The scoring flurry began when Craig Samson misjudged a cross from Georgios Samaras and failed to make proper contact with an attempted punch. The ball was redirected to Kris Commons, who shot on the bounce over the stricken keeper. Killie next failed to deal with an Adam Matthews cross from the right, which made it through the box to Samaras for a full-blooded finish.
The Celtic fans were still acclaiming that when Samaras struck again, this time running straight at the heart of the home defence to play a one-two with Commons and tap home. This had some Killie fans making for the exits to join the protest which had been mounted beforehand against the Rugby Park chairman, Michael Johnston.
The absentees missed a remarkable Kilmarnock revival, initiated by a 22-yard free-kick perfectly placed behind Forster by Sammy Clingan. This was followed just before the break by a well-worked goal from Sean Clohessy, who took a return pass from Michael Gardyne to rifle a low left-foot shot into the net.
The second half looked as if it would peter out with no further scoring until Samaras planted his skull on a Charlie Mulgrew free-kick for his hat-trick, before Amido Balde netted his first competitive goal for Celtic with a forcing run and drive.
Inverness moved ahead of Celtic at the top of the table – albeit with a better goal difference of just one – with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Hibernian at the Caledonian Stadium.
The result of the day, though, was at Ibrox, where Rangers rolled past Stenhousemuir 8-0.

"We have a niche in Small Business Administration (SBA) loans but discovered that many small businesses have immediate needs that can be met by micro loans. The paperwork required is minimal and the underwriting is done on the business health.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2012
The Lending Circle, a division of Sunovis Financial, recently introduced Short-term micro loans to help small businesses with immediate cash needs. The loans are underwritten by reviewing company cash flow and health, not credit scores. There is no question that some businesses suffer no access to needed capital because there is no credit history, or the owner has a less than stellar credit score. This may have no bearing at all on the business, yet banks will not lend.
Retail stores need inventory, medical practices need equipment and many businesses need working capital. The best use for these fast micro loans is for an item that will add money to the bottom line of the business. The short-term business loans are available to businesses that have been in operation for at least one year and have minimum annual revenue of $100,000.
The loans are for as little as $5,000 and up to $150,000 for short periods of 3 months up to 18 months. Payback is easy through a daily ACH. The good news is that payments are reported to the credit agencies, so a small business can build credit history or improve it.
Are any businesses not eligible? Yes, there is a list of restricted industries that are not eligible. These include gaming, bail bonds, check cashing, real estate brokers, auto dealers, not-for-profit grant writers, schools, travel agencies, flea markets and airlines among others. Check the list to see if your business is on the list of restricted industries.
Terry Robinson, President of Sunovis Financial, says, "We have a niche in Small Business Administration (SBA) loans but discovered that many small businesses have immediate needs that can be met by micro loans. The paperwork required is minimal and the underwriting is done on the business health. Because the loans can be funded quickly, we meet the pace of business needs and let them focus on growing their businesses now. We are proud to have added the short-term loans to our list of services."
The company does what is called a "soft pull" of the credit score, because a minimum threshold of 500 is required. A "soft pull" does NOT affect the credit score of a business. Soft pulls are done often; for instance, businesses or individuals can check their own credit reports once a year, and this is a soft pull. Employers and banks may do a soft pull when an account is opened in order to verify identify. This is different from a "hard pull", for instance when you apply for a credit card, a car purchase or lease, or a typical bank loan. A "hard pull" does show on your credit record. Since our loan is NOT based on credit scores, we simply do a "soft pull" to verify the 500 threshold score.
Uses for these short term loans include equipment purchases, cash flow management, inventory management, new marketing programs, additions to working capital, or any other business opportunity that is too compelling to ignore. Because these loans have terms of 3-18 months, they are perfect for those investments and opportunities that are expected to begin generating revenue within this time frame.
Small business owners work extraordinarily hard, and their efforts are a boon to the communities in which they operate. With roughly 50% of all jobs in the U.S. created by small businesses, it only makes sense to support them in any way possible. By offering loans with shorter repayment terms, Sunovis Financial is living up to its mission: help rebuild the U.S. economy, one business and one loan at a time.

Dear President-elect Obama,
I am writing to urge you to reconsider your decision to have Reverend Rick Warren deliver the invocation at your inauguration. Sure, it can be argued that such a gesture is merely symbolic. However, your choice of Warren alienates the millions of American atheists, not to mention the gay community. Sometimes symbolism matters greatly.
You already know what Warren has said about gay people and reproductive freedom. But Warren is also on the record (Larry King) saying that he would never consider voting for an atheist presidential candidate. He has also stated that the only reason atheists can act ethically is because his god makes us so and that not believing in his god is intellectually dishonest. This sort of bigotry has no place at the inauguration of a president planning to unite America. Would you even consider a speaker who expressed similar views about Jews, women, or African Americans? Of course not!
Who on your inaugural dais will express the viewpoints of the tens of millions of us who do not believe in any gods, not to mention the majority of Americans who believe there is now too much religious influence in our politics and government?
By choosing someone known for bigotry to open your presidency, you are not creating change, but rather following the dismal tradition of your predecessor. Please reconsider.

Product Description
The series' brilliant first season is built around what Tony learns when, whipsawed between those two worlds, he finds himself plunged into depression and seeks psychotherapy--a gesture at odds with his midlevel capo's machismo, yet instantly recognizable as a modern emotional test. With analysis built into the very spine of the show's elaborate episodic structure, creator Chase and his formidable corps of directors, writers, and actors weave an unpredictable series of parallel and intersecting plot arcs that twist from tragedy to farce to social realism. While creating for a smaller screen, they enjoy a far larger canvas than a single movie would afford, and the results, like the very best episodic television, attain a richness and scope far closer to a novel than movies normally get.
Unlike Francis Coppola's operatic dramatization of Mario Puzo's Godfather epic, The Sopranos sustains a poignant, even mundane intimacy in its focus on Tony, brought to vivid life by James Gandolfini's mercurial performance. Alternately seductive, exasperated, fearful, and murderous, Gandolfini is utterly convincing even when executing brutal shifts between domestic comedy and dramatic violence. Both he and the superb team of Italian-American actors recruited as his loyal (and, sometimes, not-so-loyal) henchmen and their various "associates" make this mob as credible as the evocative Bronx and New Jersey locations where the episodes were filmed.
The first season's other life force is Livia Soprano, Tony's monstrous, meddlesome mother. As Livia, the late Nancy Marchand eclipses her long career of patrician performances to create an indelibly earthy, calculating matriarch who shakes up both families; Livia also serves as foil and rival to Tony's loyal, usually level-headed wife, Carmela (Edie Falco). Lorraine Bracco makes Tony's therapist, Dr. Melfi, a convincing confidante, by turns "professional," perceptive, and sexy; the duo's therapeutic relationship is also depicted with uncommon accuracy. Such grace notes only enrich what's not merely an aesthetic high point for commercial television, but an absorbing film masterwork that deepens with subsequent screenings. --Sam Sutherland
The Sopranos: The Complete Second Season-In its second season, The Sopranos sustains the edgy intelligence and unpredictable, genre-warping narrative momentum that made this modern mob saga the most critically acclaimed series of the late 1990s. Creator-producer David Chase repeatedly defies formula to let the narrative turn as a direct consequence of the characters' behavior, letting everyone in this rogue's gallery of Mafiosi, friends, and family evolve and deepen.
That gamble is most apparent in the rupture of the relationship that formed the spine of the first season, the tangled ties between capo Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and monstrous matriarch Livia (Nancy Marchand), whose betrayal makes Tony's estrangement a logical response. Filling that vacuum, however, is prodigal sister Janice (Aida Turturro), whose New Age flakiness never successfully conceals her underlying calculation and opportunism. Soprano's relationship with therapist Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) also frays during early episodes, as she struggles with escalating doubts about her mobbed-up patient. At home, Tony contends with wife Carmela's ruthless ambitions on behalf of college-bound Meadow, as well as son Anthony Jr.'s sullen adolescent flirtation with existentialism--the sort of touch that the show handles with a smart mix of sympathy and amusement.
Without spoiling the surprise of the season's climactic last episode, it's worth noting that only on The Sopranos could we expect a scene that sets up a mob hit with a perversely funny touch of magic realism--a talking fish, lying on a fishmonger's iced display, speaking with the voice of the victim. It's a touch at once morbid and goofy, and consistent with the show's undimmed brilliance. --Sam Sutherland
The Sopranos: The Complete Third Season-"So," Tony Soprano asks analyst Dr. Melfi in the wake of not-so-dearly-departed Livia's death, "we're probably done here, right?" Sorry, Tone, not by a long shot. Unresolved mother issues are the least of the Family man's troubles in the brutal and controversial third season of The Sopranos. Ranked by TV Guide among the top five greatest series ever, The Sopranos justified its eleven-month hiatus with some of its best, and most hotly debated, episodes that continue the saga of the New Jersey mob boss juggling the pressures of his often intersecting personal and professional lives. The third season garnered 22 Emmy nominations, earning Lead Actor and Actress honors for James Gandolfini and Edie Falco for their now-signature roles as Tony and his increasingly conflicted wife, Carmela.
The Sopranos continued to upend convention and defy audience expectations with a deliberately paced, calm-before-the-storm season opener that revolves around the FBI's attempts to bug the Soprano household, and a season finale that (for some) frustratingly leaves several plot lines unresolved. The second episode, "Proshai, Livushka," confronts the death of the venerable Nancy Marchand, who capped her career with perhaps her greatest role as malignant matriarch Livia. A jarring scene between Tony and Livia that uses pre-existing footage is a distraction, but Carmela's unsparing smackdown of Livia at the wake redeems the episode. "Employee of the Month," in which Dr. Melfi is raped and considers whether to exact revenge by telling Tony of her attack, earned Emmys for its writers, and is perhaps Emmy nominee Lorraine Bracco's finest hour. The darkly comic "Pine Barrens"--another memorable episode, directed by Steve Buscemi--strands Paulie (Tony Sirico) and Christopher (Michael Imperioli) in the forest with a runaway corpse. Other story arcs concern the rise of the seriously unstable Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano) and Tony's affair with "full-blown loop-de-loo" Gloria (Emmy nominee Annabella Sciorra). Plus, there is Tony's estrangement from daughter Meadow (Jamie Lynn Sigler), his wayward delinquent son Anthony, Jr. (Robert Iler), Carmela's crisis of conscience, bad seed Jackie Jr., and the FBI--which, as the season ends, assigns an undercover agent to befriend an unwitting figure in the Soprano family's orbit. Stay tuned for season four. --Donald Liebenson
The Sopranos: The Complete Fourth Season-Carmela to Tony: "Everything comes to an end." True enough, Mrs. Sope, but on The Sopranos, the end comes sooner for some than others. Though for some the widely debated fourth season contained too much yakking instead of whacking, and an emphasis on domestic family over business Family, what critic James Agee once said of the Marx Brothers applies to The Sopranos: "The worst thing they might ever make would be better worth seeing than most other things I can think of." And in most respects, The Sopranos remains television's gold standard. The fourth season garnered 13 Emmy nominations, and subsequent best actor and actress wins for James Gandolfini and Edie Falco as Tony and Carmela, whose estrangement provides the season with its most powerful drama, as well as a win for Joe Pantoliano's psychopath Ralph. The season finale, "Whitecaps," was a long-time-coming episode, in which Carmela at last stands up to "toxic" Tony, and "Whoever Did This" was the season's--and one of the series'--most shocking episodes.
Other narrative threads include Christopher's (Emmy nominee Michael Imperioli) descent into heroin addiction, Uncle Junior's (Dominic Chianese) trial, an unrequited and potentially fatal attraction between Carmela and Tony's driver Furio, and a rude joke about Johnny Sack's wife that has potentially fatal implications. Other indelible moments include Christopher's girlfriend Adriana's projectile reaction to discovering that her new best friend is an undercover FBI agent in the episode "No Show," Janice giving Ralph a shove out of their relationship in "Christopher," and the classic "Quasimodo/Nostradamus" exchange in the season-opener, which garnered HBO's highest ratings to date. Freed from the understandably high expectations for the fourth season, heightened by the 16-month hiatus, these episodes can be better appreciated on their own considerable merits. They are pivotal chapters in television's most novel saga. --Donald Liebenson
The Sopranos: The Complete Fifth Season-Facing an indeterminate sentence of weeks/months/years until new episodes, fans of The Sopranos are advised to take the fifth; season, that is. At this point, superlatives don't do The Sopranos justice, but justice was at last served to this benchmark series.
James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano in a not-so-nice moodFor the first time, The Sopranos rubbed out The West Wing to take home its first Emmy® for Outstanding Dramatic Series. Michael Imperioli and Drea de Matteo also earned Best Supporting Actor and Actress honors for some of their finest hours as Christopher and Adriana. From the moment a wayward bear lumbers into the Sopranos' yard in the season opener, it is clear that The Sopranos is in anything but a "stagmire." The series benefits from an infusion of new blood, the so-called "Class of 2004," imprisoned "family" members freshly released from jail. Most notable among these is Tony's cousin, Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi, who directed the pivotal season three episode "Pine Barrens"! ), who initially wants to go straight, but proves himself to be something of a "free agent," setting up a climactic stand-off between Tony and New York boss Johnny Sack.
Carmela and TonyThese 13 mostly riveting episodes unfold with a page-turning intensity with many rich subplots. Estranged couple Tony and Carmela (the incomparable James Gandolfini and Edie Falco) work toward a reconciliation (greased by Tony's purchase of a $600,000 piece of property for Carmela to develop). The Feds lean harder on an increasingly stressed-out and distraught Adriana to "snitch" with inevitable results. This season's hot-button episode is "The Test Dream," in which Tony is visited by some of the series' dear, and not-so-dearly, departed in a harrowing nightmare. With this set, fans can enjoy marathon viewings of an especially satisfying season, but considering the long wait ahead for season six, best to take Tony's advice to his son, who, at one point, gulps down a champagne toast. "Slow down," Tony says. "You're supposed to savor it." --Donald Liebenson
The Sopranos: Season 6, Part 1-The Sopranos, Season 6, Part 1 is the most contentious release yet in the acclaimed series' history. While many fans think it jumped the shark at the exact moment Vito said "I love you, Johnny Cakes" , this season also contains some of the series finest moments and plumbs new depths of character, while continuing to add to the body count. Things get started with a bang, literally, that unexpectedly sends Tony (James Gandolfini) to the hospital and into a coma where he experiences an alternate reality while in limbo. At one point he awakes and asks "Who am I? Where am I going?" encapsulating this season's central theme in a moment of desperation wrapped in a fever dream. But it's not all existentialism. With Tony and Uncle Junior both of the picture, the capos in the Soprano crew try to take advantage of the situation and begin jockeying for position while a reluctant Silvio (Steve Van Zandt), acting in Tony's place, struggles to keep everyone in check. Things aren't going much better for Tony's family, as A.J. (Robert Iler) confesses to Carmela (Edie Falco) that he flunked out of school, and while at Tony's bedside, swears revenge for his injury. The stress of the situation finally gets to Carmela, who takes up Dr. Melfi's (Lorraine Bracco) offer to help and finds herself in the strange position of confiding in her husband's therapist, revealing for once that she feels some guilt over making the kids complicit in how Tony makes his living—plus there's the issue of whether she really loves him. Christopher (Michael Imperioli) continues to provide much of the comic relief for the series, culminating in one of this season's best episodes when he flies out to L.A. in a bumbling attempt to get Ben Kingsley to sign on for his fledgling movie (Saw meets The Godfather), and ends up mugging Lauren Bacall for her goodie basket at an awards ceremony. Sowing further discord in the ranks, Vito (Joseph Gannoscoli) finally gets outed as homosexual, and is forced to flee for his life up to New Hampshire where he meets "Johnny Cakes." Finally, even with New York boss Johnny "Sack" Sacramoni (Vince Curatola) in prison, Phil Leotardo (Frank Vincent) makes plays against Tony and eventually sets in motion a hit against someone on Tony's crew, and now a larger war with Johnny Sack's crew seems to be looming. Series creator David Chase seems to be saying with this season that character is destiny. If so, then Season Six, Part 1 is taking the necessary time to flesh out who these people really are, and is leaving the destiny part up for Part 2. The fact that the series' writers have been able to maintain such a strong show with so many interweaving storylines for so long is a feat not to be taken lightly. That said, this season ofThe Sopranos does deserve some of the criticism it's received: the Vito storyline would have been better served by resolving it in fewer episodes, and the season ending is the most unsatisfying one yet, leaving many fans wanting more. But the bottom line is that this season deserves more praise than criticism, proving that even at its weakest, The Sopranos is still the strongest show on TV.--Daniel Vancini
The Sopranos: Season 6, Part 2-Completing the run of one of the most acclaimed television shows in broadcast history, season 6, part II of The Sopranos will be remembered mostly not for what happened during the season, but for what didn't happen at the very end. Creator David Chase pulled off a series ending that was as controversial as it was surprising and unforgettable, leaving countless fans to look away from the show and to blogs and articles for answers to the biggest mystery since "who shot J.R.?": what happened to Tony Soprano? But before we get to that point, there are nine episodes to digest, and they are some of the best in the run of the show since season 3. As Tony's (James Gandolfini) paranoia and suspicions grow, his family makes choices that are threatening to bring big changes to his personal life, and his other "family" is crashing headlong towards an inevitable showdown with Johnny Sack (Vincent Curatola) and the New York crew. Episode 1, "Soprano Home Movies," starts off peacefully enough with Tony and Carmela (Edie Falco) enjoying a relaxing summer weekend at Bobby and Janice's (Steve Schirripa and Aida Turturro) bucolic lake house, and by the end of the episode Tony has effectively taken Bobby's soul, proving Tony's ruthlessness and ending any doubt about his will to maintain dominance over his family. In "Kennedy and Heidi," one of the season's signature episodes, Christopher's (Michael Imperioli) drug use continues to spiral out of control, forcing Tony to take matters into his own hands and resolve things with his nephew once and for all.
Inevitably it's all leading up to that big finale, and it's deftly handled over the last two episodes, "The Blue Comet" and "Made in America" (an episode replete with subtle references to The Godfather). Things finally start to get resolved with Phil's crew, Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese), A.J. (Robert Iler), and Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), and as for Tony… Cut to black. To quote from another hit HBO show of the same era, "everything ends," even The Sopranos, and while the way Chase chose to end The Sopranos may not be to the liking of fans hoping for a definitive resolution, give the man credit for not stooping to clichés or tired old scenarios for the sake of a closing. As A.J. says in the final scene, quoting his father, "Try to remember the times that were good." Good advice. --Daniel Vancini

I enjoyed using these wipes, sparingly, and noticed that my skin both looked and felt better (i.e. pores smaller, skin cleaner/brighter). For the price and number of wipes (35) however, there are other AHA based products out there with equal or more power.

Our dreams and visions speak to us in the language of symbols, since symbols can communicate profound meanings simply, helping us understand our deepest thoughts and feelings. Interpreting symbols involves figuring out two types of associations: both their universal symbolic meanings and what they represent to us personally through our unique connections to them.
As I continue to cover angelic dreams and miraculous dreams for About.com, I'm learning lots of fascinating information about symbols, such as what different colors and numbers mean. Recently, I visited The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida as part of my research for an upcoming series on shapes in dreams. The museum is dedicated to the work of famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali, who said that his dreams provided the inspiration for his renowned symbolic paintings.
When we receive inspiration from God (or his messengers, the angels) it often comes in the form of symbols designed to help our minds best comprehend what's happening. For instance, angels often appear to people with wings, even though they don't actually have wings (they're purely spirits who can choose to manifest physically in any form) because many people have become culturally conditioned to expect angels to have wings.
What symbols have shown up in your mind lately — either while you're awake, or while you're asleep and dreaming — and what do you think they're trying to tell you?

|Using Less but Paying More
|By Robert Kravitz, President AlturaSolutions
|Published: 05/21/2018
In a recent podcast, the CEO of a restroom-fixture manufacturing company was asked a question that many administrators of correctional facilities, building owners, and managers, and millions of consumers are now asking. That question is: "Why is my water bill going up? We are using less water now than ever before."
Unfortunately, we must add that if you are not asking yourself this question now, and are taking steps to reduce water consumption in your correctional facility, just wait. More likely than not, your water and sewer rates will also be going up even though you are using less water than in past years.
To get a better handle on what's going on, I contacted the CEO interviewed for this podcast. His name is Klaus Reichardt, and he is the CEO and President of Waterless Co., a manufacturer of no-water urinals and other restroom products. According to Reichardt, we may be witnessing, possibly for the very first time in our economy's history, that we are paying more for something while using less.
"Stanford University in California is a perfect example," says Reichardt. "The university estimates that over the past few years, it has reduced water consumption by 25 percent. Yet, their water bills have gone up by 29 percent during this same period."
However, Reichardt says the university may be saving money; they just do not realize it. This is because "we need to turn things around. What if they had not reduced consumption by 25 percent? If they hadn't, they would be paying even more for water."
That likely is very true, but it does not tell us what's behind this phenomenon. Reichardt says that "the first thing we need to recognize is that water pricing in the U.S. is very complicated. There are all types of water and sewer pricing structures, most of which have had the same goal: to undervalue water. These were created in the 20th century and are outmoded today."
So this is one reason we are paying more for less. Today, water utility companies throughout the country are beginning to abandon these old fee structures, and with it, their policies of undervaluing and subsidizing the actual cost of water."
But Reichardt believes there are at least four other key reasons we are paying more for water while using less. These are the following:
Fixed costs. Even if consumers are using less water, water utility companies still have many fixed costs which do not go up or down depending on water consumption. These include such things as the costs for ongoing operations, payroll, maintenance of pipes and infrastructure, as well as capital improvements. "In fact, in parts of California and many other areas of the country, it is estimated [that] only about 35 percent of our water bills pay for water. The rest is used to cover these fixed expenses."
Higher costs. The fixed costs we just mentioned may not be so fixed after all. That's because they are going up. Between 1980 and 2014, operations and maintenance spending has increased by as much as 126 percent in some areas of the country. These increases are now being passed on to consumers, including correctional facilities.
Federal spending. Since the mid-1950s, the Federal government has steadily increased spending for water and wastewater infrastructure throughout the country. But that has been declining, with a big dip in spending beginning in 2010. The result is that local utilities must now pick up the tab, forcing them to charge more for water.
Failing infrastructure. Civil engineers report that to improve or replace the countries failing water infrastructure will cost more than $4 trillion. "For decades, we have been using bandages to patch-up water infrastructure problems. Those days are over, and this will be one of the main reasons water bills jump in coming years."
So, if water-related charges are going to go up even as we use less, do consumers, including correctional facility administrators, have any options to keep costs down. According to Reichardt, the only option is to continue finding ways to use less water and to use it more efficiently.
The key word here is "efficiently." This refers to long-term water reduction strategies. For instance, installing closed-loop HVAC systems that minimize water evaporation helps reduce the amount of water used for air conditioning. Additionally, installing natural vegetation to landscape the correctional facility typically results in less water consumption.
Further, continue transferring to water using fixtures that use far less water than older fixtures. Begin considering restroom fixtures that use no water at all.
"It's true, when it comes to water, we may be paying more while using less," adds Reichardt. "Our only option is to stay one step ahead of the game. Correctional facilities must always keep looking for ways to reduce water consumption. View it as a journey that we all must take."
Robert Kravitz is a frequent writer for the corrections industry.
RaymondHall on 08/17/2018:
At present, instructive and professional projects are accessible at most correctional institutions in Canada. Instructive projects comprise of Adult Basic Education (Grade 1 to 10), Secondary Education, Vocational, College, and University level projects. Detainees for the most part pay for their own post-auxiliary training, except if it can be shown that the instruction tends to a particular criminogenic require. Through professional projects, for example, pipes, welding and little motors repair, detainees are given occupation related abilities preparing significant to work openings accessible in the organizations and in the networks.I do agree with cheap essay writer views and suggestions about correctional institutions in USA.

The identifying documents presented during the application process must include at least one photo ID. All forms of identification must be current and not expired. Certain documents, such as a U.S. Passport, enhanced driver's license or permanent resident card, satisfy the identification requirement. Applicants without one of these items must present two other acceptable documents, such as a state driver's license or military ID card, plus another document, such as a certified birth certificate or U.S. Certificate of Citizenship.
The application processing takes two to three weeks. If the TSA approves the application, the traveler receives a Known Traveler Number, or KTN, in the mail. The number is valid for five years. The traveler enters the number each time he books a flight with a participating airline.Learn more about Geography

Although the recession has claimed millions of American jobs in 2009, the healthcare industry has a strong heartbeat. With the baby-boomers moving into retirement (delayed) and needing additional health care services, the demand for healthcare professionals is much higher than the supply.
It is no secret that the healthcare industry is seeing a spike in employment; however, most people are overwhelmed at the vast array of possible occupations in the healthcare industry, become discouraged and seek employment (failing) elsewhere. Start with creating a professional nurse resume.
Here's a brief guide to four of the most promising healthcare jobs and a bit of information to help you filter through the opportunities with greater ease.
Nurse Practitioner
With over 600 million visits to nurse practitioners every year, for a population of 300 million American it doesn't take a skilled statistician to see the demand. Americans head to Nurse Practitioners for diagnosing, treatment and prescription of drugs in various setting such as schools, nursing homes, hospitals and clinics. They are a nurse on steroids who are registered nurses with additional state qualification licenses to meet requirements for the added responsibilities. The job-outlook for Nurse Practitioners is high due to the fact that the costs for their services are much lower than a physician.
Nurse Anesthetist
Skilled with a needle, a Nurse Anesthetist provides anesthesia and pain management services to patients. Equipped with a nursing degree, anesthetists complete an additional three years of training to safely administer patients with anesthesia sans the company of a doctor. Average salaries range from $100,000 to $150,000 per year – a very attractive salary.
Medical Record Coder
So you are interested in the field of Health Care but not really interested in needles, blood, guts and trauma, the career path of Medical Record Coder may be a good fit. These employees are responsible for coding patient's' records to bill insurance companies and/or programs such as Medicare. This is a more attractive career path for job-seekers not willing to commit to a 4-8 years in school; the job requires a two-year associate's degree with some form of credentialing, which can be completed online.
For those with vampire tendencies, this job is for you. Phlebotomists are medical technicians that suck the blood from your veins for testing. The plus side is that the training can be completed in a semester to it's a very attractive option for people with only limited education such as a GED or high-school diploma. The pay for this profession is high in relative terms to required training – most Phlebotomists make between $12-$15 per hour.

Tinnitus is a ringing, swishing, or other type of noise that seems to originate in the ear or head. In many cases, it is not a serious problem but rather a nuisance that eventually resolves. Rarely, however, tinnitus can represent a serious medical health condition.It is not a single disease but a symptom of an underlying condition. Nearly 36 million Americans suffer from this disorder. In almost all cases, only the affected person can hear the noise.
Some Head Noise Is Normal If a person goes into a soundproof booth and normal outside noise is diminished, he or she becomes aware of these normal sounds. We usually are not aware of these normal body sounds, because outside noise masks them. Anything, such as ear wax or a foreign body in the external ear, that blocks these background sounds will cause us to be more aware of the sounds in our heads.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Tinnitus can originate from any of the following areas: the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear; or it can be due to abnormalities in the brain. Common causes of tinnitus include the following:
* Fluid, infection, or disease of the middle ear bones or ear drum (tympanic membrane)* Damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear (advanced aging is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment)
How Is Tinnitus Evaluated?
A medical history, physical examination, and a series of special tests can help determine precisely where the tinnitus is originating. It is helpful for the doctor to know if the tinnitus is constant, intermittent, or pulsating (synchronous with the heartbeat, referred to as pulsatile tinnitus), or if it is associated with hearing loss or loss of balance (vertigo or vestibular balance disorders). All individuals with persisting unexplained tinnitus need a hearing test (audiogram). Patterns of hearing loss may lead the doctor to the diagnosis.Other tests, such as the auditory brain stem response (ABR), a computerized test of the hearing nerves and brain pathways, computer tomography scan (CT scan), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan) may be needed to rule out a tumor occurring on the hearing or balance nerve. These tumors are rare, but they can cause tinnitus.
What Is the Treatment of Tinnitus? After a careful evaluation, your doctor may find an identifiable cause and be able to treat or make recommendations to treat the tinnitus. Once you have had a thorough evaluation, an essential part of treatment is your own understanding of tinnitus (what has caused it, your specific symptoms, and options for treatment).
Tinnitus Medications
In many cases, there is no specific treatment for tinnitus. It may simply resolve on its own, or it may be a permanent disability that the person will have to "live with." Some otolaryngologists (ear specialists) have recommended niacin to treat tinnitus. However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that niacin helps reduce tinnitus, and it may cause problems with skin flushing. The drug gabapentin (Neurontin, Gabarone) was studied in high doses and was found to reduce the annoyance level of the tinnitus in some patients, but it did not decrease the volume of the noise and was not found to be better than placebo.In patients who suffer from related depression, nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl) is the most helpful treatment. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants appear to have a better safety record compared to tricyclic antidepressants. Sertraline (Zoloft) at fixed doses and paroxetine (Paxil) at low doses have been shown to be helpful. In a 2009 study by Jalai, alprazolam (Xanax) improved VAS (visual analog scale) scores in patients with tinnitus who did hot have anxiety or depression disorders.
Relief Remedies for Tinnitus
Some common and easy remedies, such as the following, may be of benefit to some individuals:
* Reduce or avoid caffeine and salt intake, and quit smoking.
* Some individual's with tinnitus have been found to have lower zinc levels and may benefit from zinc supplementation.
* Melatonin may help those who suffer with tinnitus, particularly those with disturbed sleep due to tinnitus.
* Ginkgo biloba has been touted as a natural tinnitus remedy, but to date, controlled studies have not shown to be effective.* Some behavioral and cognitive therapies that have been successful include retraining therapy, masking, and behavioral therapy.
Can Tinnitus Be Prevented? The only real prevention for tinnitus is to avoid damaging your hearing. Most causes other than hearing loss do not have prevention strategies. However, there are several things you can do to protect yourself from noise-related tinnitus. These tips will be described in the following slides.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #1 Do not use cotton swabs (Q-tips) to clean your ears. This can cause a wax impaction against your eardrum, which can cause tinnitus.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #2 Protect your hearing at work. Your workplace should follow Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Wear earplugs or earmuffs and follow hearing conservation guidelines set by your employer.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #3 When around any noise that bothers your ears (a concert, sporting event, hunting) wear hearing protection to reduce noise levels. Wear protective earplugs or earmuffs if you cannot avoid loud noises. Do not use wadded-up tissue or cotton balls since they may become lodged in the ear canal and do not protect adequately against the more dangerous high frequencies and loud noises.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #4 Be careful when using music headphones. If the music is so loud that others can hear it clearly or you can't hear other sounds around you, the volume is too high.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #5 Even everyday noises, such as blow-drying your hair or operating a lawn mower, can require hearing protection. Keep earplugs or earmuffs handy for these activities.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #6 Cut back on or stop drinking alcohol and beverages that contain caffeine. Don't smoke or use smokeless tobacco products (secondhand smoke also affects those around you and may contribute to SIDS, ear infections, and asthma in children). Nicotine use may cause tinnitus by reducing blood flow to the structures of the ear.
Tinnitus Prevention Tip #7 Tinnitus occurs more frequently in obese adults. Exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight improves blood flow to the structures of the ear and may prevent tinnitus.
Is There Anything to Lessen the Intensity of Tinnitus?
* Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.
* Control your blood pressure.
* Decrease your salt intake.
* Avoid nerve stimulants such as coffee and colas (caffeine) and tobacco (nicotine).
* Reduce your anxiety.
* Stop worrying about the tinnitus. The more you worry and concentrate on the noise, the louder it will become.
* Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
* Exercise regularly.
* Utilize a masking noise (for example, a competing sound such as a ticking clock, a radio, a fan, or white noise machine).
* Biofeedback may help or diminish tinnitus in some individuals.* Avoid aspirin or aspirin products in large quantities.
TINNITUS- Can you hear that?
Tinnitus-do you know what it is?-
About 50 million people in the US know it, mostly kids, young people. Millions more outside the country.
I am a first a music fan, musician and filmmaker. I am also a Tinnitus sufferer
Chances are, your favorite rock, hip hop or country idol has this problem but tells you nothing!
Play this loud (ironic isn't it?) and you'll see the nightmare that is TINNITUS and then think about your life style.

Product Description
The Orbea Avant H50 endurance road bike is built for long rides in the saddle on rough, smooth, climbs and descents. It's your secret weapon.
You knew when you planned the ride it would be a long day - a route stacked with grinding climbs and twisting descents, terrible roads with a good amount of who-knows-what-else thrown in. These bike rides aren't most people's idea of fun, but they sure are memorable, monumental, challenging. Is that why you keep going?
You suck down another coffee and pull on your overshoe to hold the weather at bay, it's going to clear out and warm up in a few hours... Probably. No other endurance road bike could better help you endure long hours of rough, exhausting cycling ahead. It's going to be a long ride – but with the Avant H50, you'll love it.
Dynamic Structure Comfort:
The Orbea Avant H50 is purpose built with advanced aluminium tube shaping and a quality frame design to ensure you have a comfortable ride while reducing muscle fatigue. Orbea's Avant ensures a smooth, lightweight ride without bulky compromises like tubing inserts and elastomers. Minimal bulk of the top tube and seat stays deliver a dynamic, smooth ride that feels like floating over rough roads. The ride sensation is subtle - but it is noticeable and can be tested.
The large majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the Avant H50 bike frame. The headtube, downtube and chainstays are expertly shaped to resist twisting and transmit power to the rear wheel. There is no doubt about it, large cross-sections and resistance to flex in the bottom of the Avant's frame translate directly to more watts on the road and a sensation that power transfer is instantaneous.
Avant Fork:
The Orbea Avant fork uses a shallower, rounded-blade profile and longer fork legs to offer the best combination of elasticity, tyre clearance and torsional stiffness. The increased axle-to-crown height is offset by a shorter headtube to maintain stack measurements and improve aesthetics.
Orbea Endurance Geometry:
Avant Endurance Geometry is born from years of analysing how ergonomics can help with endurance road cycling. Unlike a road racing geometry that is focused on aerodynamics, endurance ergonomics result in a road bike that is easier to ride and increases your stamina. Bike handling is precise and intuitive. Angles and dimensions are considered carefully across a range of sizes to maximize rider comfort. And more comfort means longer rides.
Key Features:
- Lightweight triple butted aluminium frame
- Bump soothing carbon bladed fork
- Capable Shimano Sora drivetrain
- Fast rolling 700 rims wrapped in 25c tyres

We experimentally demonstrated that infrared light imprinted with orbital angular momentum (OAM) was linearly converted into visible light using four-wave mixing (FWM) via a ladder-type configuration in atoms. Simultaneously, we theoretically simulated this linear conversion process, and the theoretical analysis was in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. A large single-photon detuning process was used to reduce the absorption of the atoms to the up-converted light and to avoid pattern formation in the FWM process. The multi-mode image linear conversion process is important for applications including image communications, astrophysics, and quantum information.

My story begins deep in space... a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away......... er, Wait a minute. Thats a different story. Mine begins a little closer to home! My family and I have been in Kansas City since late 2012. We've grown in many ways in our time here, both figuratively and literally.
As Preaching Minister for Red Bridge, my goal is to creatively present the Word of God in a way that retains its challenge and power to evoke changed lives while using humorous, relatable, and relevant language and illustrations. In simpler words: I want you to remember, relate to, and understand the message God has for you!
God's story is OUR story, plain and simple. Every sermon and class is meant to connect us to Him. I would love to help you discover a deeper, broader, and richer relationship with God.
Want to know my absolute favoritest section of Scripture in the whole Bible? I knew you did... its John 21. Stick around me long enough and I guarantee I'll jump to that when talking about just how much Jesus loves, likes, and needs you!!! (Because he REALLY Loves, Likes, and Needs you!!!)

Re: am I the only one who DIDN'T think Nicholson nailed joker??
So what if Nicholson wasn't as disguised as Ledger's Joker? The thing is he didn't need to. Nicholson naturally had a sinister look that was perfect for the role. As well as his natural devilish voice. Perhaps this is the reason everyone wanted him to play the Joker long before he agreed to the role. Everyone knew he was capable of playing a convincing psychopath that also had the perfect voice and look to go with it. Plus you can't go wrong with a comic accurate look.

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
--Albert Camus
The green of leaves surrounds us in spring and summer, and every autumn we're eager to search out the season's richest colors. While we know that leaves contribute to spectacular scenery, we might not always stop to consider a leaf in its own right. For thousands of years, leaves have held vital importance in legend, medicine, commerce, and agriculture. As you explore the wondrous color on display at the Arboretum, take a moment to contemplate the leaves that provide it.
At the Arboretum
Ther are many ways to enjoy the leaves at The Morton Arboretum this month! For the latest information on fall color, check out the Bloom and Color Report! If you're feeling creative, learn the basics of watercolor painting at the Beginner's Watercolor Workshop: Autumn Leaves. Some of our youngest visitors might enjoy Going on a Leaf Hunt!
"And leaves still play their part in enlivening a room, although today they are chosen with no thought to their fragrance, but with regard for their appropriateness to the season… This decorative use of foliage has come down through the centuries. At one time there were definite leaves for each month--holly for December, box for January, yew for February, and so on throughout the year," Vernon Quinn, Leaves: Their Place in Life and Legend, pages 157-158

First we went to Macy's where she sat in the car with the kids while I shopped. Insert amazing angelic heavenly sound here. Shopping alone. It's amazing. You can actually THINK you know. Which I did - lots of. I found the dress that they'd put on hold for me, tried it on, loved it, appreciated the sweet little Mexican lady in the dressing room ooohing and aaaahing over me in it, decided while I was there (and kid-free) I really should see if there's an appropriate bra to wear with it so that I would actually wear it when the time came. After a call put in to a friend to find out the best kind to get, I ended up with a Lily of France clear Strappie. I was going to go without the clear straps as the halter provides plenty of coverage for a normal one, but they didn't have one. And I didn't have THAT much time. So as soon as I'm done there I decide you know what would be really great is if I could get some shoes to go with, the outfit would be complete and I'd be set to go. So I swung by the shoe department and the first ones I laid my eyes on were the ones. Oh yes, I tried a few others, but it was love at first sight and no going back. Coral Leather just sounds beautiful, and the color goes oh so perfect.
Outfit complete and an hour later, I headed out to a car full of roused kids and we headed off for our reward. Two and a half hours later, tired, happy, and with enough fish memories to last until the next time, we headed home.
Today was to be equally as a good day. Sweet Ireland Girl to come over and show us her baby 3-D ultrasound CD, then over to Oma's to color Easter eggs (I know, I know, weeks late), then to Big Guy's Nice Lady Two. Only thing is, SIG and Oma bailed on us. Now I just get to find something else to entertain our keisters with. Have I mentioned how much fun it is to come up with alternative words for the word ass?


text: Local government is the most important level of government there is. No level has more power to directly impact your day-to-day life with services such as police, fire, garbage pick-up, and plowing. Because of this impact, it's important to try and keep up with what they're doing. It can often be really hard, though, to show up to meetings from 2-4 times a month and sit through lengthy discussions about zoning, business permits, and other mundane but necessary minutiae of running a city or county. Because I'm at home every evening with a toddler while my wife goes to school, it's near-impossible for me to make the trek of almost 90 blocks to keep tabs on the Salt Lake County Council. I thought I could find an easy way to keep up on them via the county website; I thought wrong.

It is true that a people deserves the leader it gets. Leaders are chosen from among the people and imbibe the cultures and expectations of such a people. Thus the argument that when we point an accusing finger four are pointing back to us remains indisputable. Be that as it may, anyone who truly has any iota of patriotism for the Nigerian State and for her wearied and battered citizens would be convinced of the urgent need for some concerted effort to get ourselves out of this hole. Particularly taking into consideration how far from civility and from a status of a functional nation Nigeria has painfully slid.
It is with this in view that the writer has conceived of this blog, as a means of sensitization of millions of good-willing Nigerians, particularly among the teeming millions of youth who are diversely talented and can stand up to work together for their future, for the future of Nigeria.
Let each of us take up an initiative to create the change that we want. That change, of course, needs to start from you and me. Right from as little gesture as not dropping a litter on the ground, to a more demanding oversight and calling into order of our government officials. No good change will come unless we ask and work for it.
May we be awake. It's time to awake!!
