Abule Oba and Oke Oko, two of the several riverside communities in Ikorodu share some similarities with Arepo in Ogun State. They are both developing communities bordered by swamps and the Ogun river.
Here the similarities end. Whereas Arepo has been in the news for the vandalism of oil pipelines, these riverside communities are home to the pipeline vandals who have managed to go on unnoticed.
Over the years, oil pipeline vandalism has taken the form of organised cartels such that every Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation pipeline in Lagos and its environs is managed by specific groups of vandals.
A resident in one of these communities on the condition of anonymity explains, "Oil pipeline vandalism has been going on for years. It is just that that of Arepo has taken new dimensions because of the recurrent explosions.
"The Ogun river at Arepo flows from the swamp to Ikorodu; all the riverside communities at Ikorodu are involved in oil theft. Oil vandals at Majidun, Ogijo, Odogunyan, Ishawo and Igbolomo all get their supply of petroleum products from the pipeline at Arepo.
"The vandals are mostly of Ijaw origin, they are very familiar with the water. They are expert swimmers and are often without secondary school education. Pipeline vandalism is their source of income; this is what they do for a living."
SATURDAY PEOPLE learnt that this situation isn't restricted to Ikorodu. Oil pipelines at Epe are said to be under the purview of vandals at Lamgbasa while that of Tarkwa Bay is under the control of vandals who come in from CMS. Pipelines at Liverpool, Apapa are said to be regularly vandalised by criminals residing at Ajegunle and Ijora. The vandals all link the host communities of the pipelines by water and leave the same way.
For Arepo, the operation to siphon fuel often begins at midnight. Vandals move in groups courtesy of wooden canoes often hidden in the swamps behind their homes. Because the houses are closely built, it is not easy for a stranger to guess the activity that goes on behind them at night. The dense swamp also provides a cover for the canoes and only those adept at sea life can navigate the river. Kegs of 50 litres, as many as 200 to 500, are strung together and kept in the canoes alongside guns and other tools expected to aid the operation.
"These boys are masters in the game; they use divers to install small taps on the pipelines which have been sunk in the swamp. Once the taps are installed, the fuel can be easily diverted. What they simply do is to attach one end of a hose to the mouth of the tap inside the water and the other inside a keg in the canoe.
"Immediately the tap is turned on, fuel begins to flow into the kegs instead of its original destination. Of course some of the fuel leaks into the water and sometimes, water also gets into the fuel that flows into the kegs, although that is very little. This is the reason why they don't use motorised boats because the engine sometimes sparks and a little spark can cause an explosion.
"When they are through, the vandals go back home to Ikorodu where the fuel is sold to their distributors. Some of them also keep their kegs hidden in the swamp so when a buyer asks for fuel, they go back into the swamp and bring it out.
"They don't usually store it at home. A 50 lire keg goes ordinarily goes for N3000 but whenever there is a pipeline explosion like what occurred last week, the price goes up because that means the vandals can no longer work until the pipeline has been repaired. People come to these communities at all hours to buy fuel; even filling stations patronise the oil vandals.
"Some fuel tankers show up in the middle of the night to fill up their tanks; it is that lucrative," the source said.
The source blamed last week's explosion at Arepo on an argument between the vandals.
He said "It started with an argument over who would start filling their kegs first. When they could not agree on that, one of the vandals got angry and fired a shot. It was the gunfire that caused the explosion; already by that time some fuel had leaked into the river from the hose that was attached to that tap; it was turned on.
"That was how many lost their lives; over 50 of them died that night although that is not a deterrent. You see these boys have no jobs, all the capital they need is the ability to swim and paddle canoes and some arms. The market is already there; people want fuel and they want it cheaply. It is a profitable venture notwithstanding the risk."
Buying fuel in these communities is a risky business. No one sells fuel to an unknown face in the community; security agencies have been known to raid them under such pretences. At Abule Oba, it was all quiet when SATURDAY PEOPLE visited.
Many of the vandals who died in the last explosion at Arepo are said to reside in this hilly community. As a result, there was tension and the distribution and sale of fuel had been temporarily put off. Several residents watched carefully the movements of every new face that came in, possibly expecting an invasion from security agents. There was less tension at Oke Oko although the seller cautiously enquired if our correspondent was a security agent.
She relaxed when her fears were allayed but she informed SATURDAY PEOPLE that the price of a 50 litre keg of petrol had gone up to N4000.
She explained, "It will take a while before we resume duty at Arepo. Our men cannot go there for now. It is the resultant scarcity that has hiked the price."
While the fuel was being brought out from a secret store, the lady stood watch some metres away, looking out for any approaching security agent. Immediately the keg was safely in the custody of our correspondent and money had exchanged hands, she relaxed her stance, expressing her hope for future transactions.
"The police divisions in all these communities are very much aware of what goes on there but they have turned a blind eye to them all because the oil vandals regularly settle them. If the government is really serious about ending this problem,then they have to secure the waterways with the aid of the marine police, people who are comfortable with fighting the vandals on water. "The only security agency that seems not to be on the payroll of the vandals is the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. Take for instance the violence at Majidun a few weeks back when a BRT bus was burned. It was because the NSCDC officials who came to raid the oil vandals at Majidun refused to be settled.
"The BRT bus was burnt in retaliation for the arrests made by the NSCDC. The oil vandals had expected cooperation from the NSCDC because that is what they get from the OP Messa and the police.
"Even some of the traditional leaders of these riverside communities are deeply involved in oil bunkering; most receive frequent settlements from the oil vandals," the source said.
The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State NSCDC, Mrs. Kehinde Bada, when contacted, said, "This problem of oil vandalism requires the cooperation of all the security agencies and we have all been doing our best to counter the attacks of the oil vandals.
"However, I believe there must be some level of involvement with the host communities of the pipelines because the oil vandals always know the exact location of the pipelines; it seems they go about with maps.
"Take for instance the pipeline at Epe, it is buried in the ground in an isolated area. A few days ago, we got information that an NNPC pipeline had been vandalised and when the vandals had dug the ground to expose the pipeline.
"Then, they fixed a tap to the pipe so they could turn it on at will and get fuel. As at the time we went there, the tap was left turned on and fuel was just gushing out from it. We had to contact NNPC to stop pumping fuel through that pipeline."
It was all calm and quiet at Arepo when SATURDAY PEOPLE visited on Tuesday. The raging fires had been doused and repair work was said to be ongoing. One of the mobile policemen who kept watch close by, declined to identify himself.
But he said, "As you can see the fire was successfully contained. The vandals who come here to vandalise the pipeline don't live here because they always come by canoe and leave the same way. Although we are here to secure the pipelines, there is not much we can do from our location here on land.
"It takes about 30 minutes by canoe to navigate the swamp from where we are and get to the spot where the pipeline is. What we usually do is to fire some shots anytime we notice lights and movement around that spot on the river at night.
"We have only one canoe and that is not enough to patrol the waters. Besides, the swamp is usually in total darkness at night so that even makes it more difficult to patrol. Then there is the problem of getting someone to paddle the canoe for us; no one would agree to do that in the middle of the night. There is really not much we can do to contain the situation."
There was no comment from the the Olu of Arepo, Chief Solomon Oyebi. His wife, who declined to give her name, complained about media reports concerning the pipeline explosions. She said, "Your organisation should expect a letter from us soon; you people keep writing things without verification.
"Oyebi cannot make any comment for now. He will do so during a press conference scheduled to hold next week."
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer DSP Ngozi Braide denied allegations of police connivance with oil bunkerers. She said, "There is a special team constituted by the Inspector General of Police, a taskforce on pipeline vandalisation. They provide protection for all pipelines in the country whether on sea and on land. They also arrest and prosecute oil pipeline vandals. So there can be no truth in the allegation that oil pipeline vandals in the state are in cohorts with policemen."

Autoimmune hepatitis
Autoimmune hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that occurs when immune cells mistake the liver's normal cells for harmful invaders and attack them.
Alternative Names
Lupoid hepatitis; Chronic acute liver disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
This form of hepatitis is an autoimmune disease. The body's immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and harmful, outside substances. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues.
Liver inflammation, or hepatitis may occur along with other autoimmune diseases, including:
- Graves disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Sjogren syndrome
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Thyroiditis
- Type 1 diabetes
- Ulcerative colitis
Autoimmune hepatitis sometimes occurs in relatives of people with autoimmune diseases. This suggests that there may be a genetic cause.
This disease is most common in young girls and women.
- Abdominal distention
- Dark urine
- Fatigue
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
- Itching
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pale or clay-colored stools
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
Signs and tests
Tests for autoimmune hepatitis include:
- Anti-liver kidney microsome type 1 antibody (anti LKM-1)
- Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)
- Anti-smooth muscle antibody (SMA)
- Serum IgG
- Liver function tests
- Liver biopsy to look for chronic hepatitis
You may need prednisone or other corticosteroid medicines help reduce the inflammation. Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine are drugs used to treat other autoimmune disorders. They have been shown to help people with autoimmune hepatitis, as well.
Some people may need a liver transplant.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome varies. Corticosteroid medicines may slow the progress of the disease. However, autoimmune hepatitis may advance to cirrhosis. This would require a liver transplant.
- Cirrhosis
- Side effects from steroids and other medicines
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Liver failure
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis is usually cannot be prevented. Knowing the risk factors may allow early detection and treatment.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Beginning Jan. 12, Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees will spend 26 days at the Gwinnett County Jail screening all foreign nationals in an effort to identify and remove criminal aliens.All inmates booked into the jail will be screened, regardless of their claim to citizenship. Those found to be here illegally will be the subjects of removal proceedings. "As most people are aware, we are in the process of trying to get approval to begin the 287(g) program in Gwinnett," Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway said. "This hopefully will bring us one step closer in getting the green light on that program and will give ICE an idea of the approximate numbers they would be receiving from our jail." According to a news release, the 287(g) program would allow Gwinnett deputies, under the supervision of ICE agents, to place detainers on illegal immigrants booked into the jail. Those illegal immigrants would then be turned over to ICE for deportation proceedings. Through a release, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais said Conway sent a letter to the assistant secretary of Homeland Security in March requesting to be a part of the program, seeking funding for 18 positions. She said the agency was concerned it might need additional agents because of the large number of foreign-born inmates booked into Gwinnett's facility. Gwinnett is still waiting on approval, and Bourbannais said the surge operation will give ICE an idea of the numbers they can expect from Gwinnett's jail. The program will only deal with illegal aliens who have been arrested for a crime and are booked into the county jail, the release said.

I stopped by the liquor store tonight and saw all of the BTAC except for Stagg. I asked an employee if they had any Van Winkle products and he said they were holding them for preferred customers. I understood - there is only so much of the good stuff to go around.
I went back and got a W.L. Weller, a Handy, a Saz 18 and a PHC blend 131.6. I placed them on the counter and told the store employee that I was going to get some beer as well. The employee then got on the phone and called the store owner and told him about my purchase. The owner allowed me to pick one bottle of his Van Winkle products from a case. I selected the PVW 15. I guess that means I just became a preferred customer.

April / May 2012 - Navy
Editor's Note: AUSN is pleased to announce that our
new Director of Legislation is Mr. Anthony
Wallis. His personal information is on the
accompanying page. We interviewed a number
of highly qualified candidates for this position,
some to represent us part time and some
for full time and decided that Tony was our
man. He knows that he has big shoes to fill
and he reported aboard on 17 February
ready to go. As you will read, he has been
working within The Military Coalition (TMC)
for some time now for a sister organization.
For two-and-a-half months, Jerry Featherstone
and I have attended TMC committee meetings
while our search for the Director of
Legislation was ongoing. This has been beneficial
to us and the Association as it has educated
both Jerry and me. We will continue to
work as a team with Tony on your behalf.
The President's 2013 budget is now on the Hill and
the work begins in earnest. It is the season for testimony
and we look forward to our opportunities to voice your
concerns and to support the Navy.
When it comes to medical care fees for retirees,
"advantage DoD." The Defense Department can raise
fees for medical care if it so chooses. The only way to
control or prevent such fee increases is for Congress to
enact legislation which directs or prevents that DoD
action. The burden then is on the retiree population to
convince Congress to act. It is always an uphill struggle
for the retiree. That is why you have us and that is why
we need your help to influence Congress.
A well worn attorney's line is "it all depends on whose
ox is being gored." That is certainly true when it comes
to DoD decisions on active service members versus
retirees. When asked about future changes
to the military pay and benefits system,
Secretary Panetta and others usually mention
the likelihood that today's in-uniform
personnel would be grandfathered into the
current system or at least have a choice
between two systems. When discussing
changes to retiree health care costs, however,
no such consideration for those who
were promised free health care for life if
they completed a twenty-year career. The
President's budget calls for an enrollment
fee for TRICARE For Life and some in
Congress have signaled their willingness
to go along. With your help, we will take a
position against such fees. The budget also
calls for increasing TRICARE Prime annual
fees above what Congress authorized in the
2012 National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA). We need to hold the line here as well.
Those of you for whom we do not have a good e-mail
address are missing out on important legislative communications.
Here is a part of what we said in a recent
legislative e-newsletter:
President's 2013 budget to go to Congress on
13 February: Navy to do reasonably well but expected
cuts include:
As usual, the fix to budget numbers in the shipbuilding
program is, retire them early and fix things
in the out years. This allows new technology to be
built and infused into the fleet while meeting budget
restrictions. Probably a good decision on Navy's part
but early retirements and delayed replacements mean
that 313 ship floor is unattainable.
AUSN active on other fronts: Aside from specific
legislation that we are always working on your behalf,
there are other actions that AUSN is involved in on a
routine basis. Here are three such actions:
About Anthony A. Wallis
Anthony Wallis hails from Whitefish
Bay, Wisconsin, a small suburb north of
Milwaukee. From 2001 to 2005, he
attended the University of Minnesota-
Twin Cities in Minneapolis, receiving his
Bachelor's degree in Political Science,
United States History and a minor in
Spanish Studies. During that time, he
started a series of internships which would
later play an important part in his future
career path. In 2003, Anthony began to
work as one of the first groups of interns
for the newly elected U.S. Senator from
Minnesota, Norm Coleman, working as a
Regional Affairs intern and learning about the needs
of local cities and municipalities in Minnesota. His
last semester at the University of Minnesota, Anthony
had the opportunity to receive course credit and
make strides towards his future career by interning
for U.S. Representative Jim Ramstad of Minnesota's
third Congressional district from January to May of
2005. Upon his graduation in May 2005, Anthony
immediately received a Staff Assistant position with
his hometown Congressman, U.S. Representative
F. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin. In August of
2005, Anthony was hired by the Historian of the U.S.
House of Representative, Dr. Robert V. Remini, as a
Research Assistant. Anthony served, and was promoted
to Research Analyst, in the Office of the House
Historian until December 2010.
While there, Anthony had the opportunity to
greatly enhance his knowledge of Congressional
history, procedures and protocols as well as meet
influential lawmakers and heads of state by providing
historical background and information. In addition,
Anthony worked with the press and provided
information to researchers, including military officers
and associations. This peaked Anthony's
interest in national security and defense,
where Anthony decided to pursue,
through night courses, a degree in
National Security and Strategic Studies
from the U.S. Naval War College. In the
summer of 2010, Anthony received his
Master's degree from U.S. Naval War
College in Newport, RI. His independent
research paper, Master's paper, was
called Shades of Colombia: Comparing
FARC to Afghanistan, which was a
concept briefly discussed in his elective
courses at the National Defense University
and peaked his interest. His paper was so well
received that the Director of the Naval War College
program in D.C. recommended it for consideration
for the LT Michael P. Murphy Counterterrorism
Award. Despite not receiving the award, Anthony's
interest in national security and defense grew and
he actively sought opportunities to serve the national
security and defense community. In December 2010,
Anthony accepted a position as Air National Guard
Legislative Assistant at the National Guard

Video: Rep. Reed Admits to Paying Taxes Late
BUFFALO, N.Y. - A local member of congress, whose job it is to write the country's tax laws -- has admitted to being late dozens of times when paying his local property taxes.
Congressman Tom Reed (R - 23rd District) is answering questions Monday about his past tax issues.
Reed confirmed a Buffalo News report that on 38 occasions, he was one to two months late in paying property taxes on several homes he owns with his wife or his business. The late tax payments occured in Steuben and Chemung counties since 2005. Reed has paid all of the bills in full.
During his Monday morning conference call, Reed called the report "character assassination" dug up by Democrats in Washington. Despite that, he took full responsibility for paying his taxes late.
"When we go to Congress, there are strict rules about what I can be involved with and what I can't be involved with when it comes to business relationships and business operations," said Rep. Reed. "This is part of the problem because these payments include those business ventures that I was associated with prior to going to Congress."
2 On Your Side's Aaron Saykin asked Rep. Reed how he accounts for not paying taxes on his own home - on time?
"That is correct, and we're going to strive to improve there. And that's an issue between my wife and I," said Rep. Reed.
Reed later clarified and said he was not suggesting the late payments were his wife's fault.

Tuesday, December 10, 2013
I bought a dress for our friends' wedding, and convinced Scott it was a good deal because it was $14 (retail, too!), and I could wear it to their wedding AND to his Christmas party.
Did I mention that the aforementioned wedding happened at the end of June, right when I was running about 10 miles a week and hitting the gym 4 days a week on top of that?
I forgot about the dress until the Monday before Scott's Christmas party, when I was running roughly 0 miles a week, and hitting the gym possibly 4 times a month.
Of course, I headed back to the gym 4 days that week. I covered 7.5 miles. I drank 2-3 litres of water a day. And that dress fit perfectly.
Until I went to put on these awesome sparkly tights I'd bought, and the waist band turned me into a segmented worm.
Not attractive. Nor was the "crotch creep" my dress made when I tried to walk, since the slinky little number wouldn't quite cooperate with any of my not-so-slinky slips.
After perusing the internet, it seems the only solution to the segmented worm problem was shapewear. And it seems the only solution to crotch creep in a slinky dress was shapewear.
So I bought a pair.
I sized up. I figured I'd worked pretty darn hard to make that dress fit in only 5 days... I didn't need it to redefine my shape... just refine those rough edges.
Putting it on was interesting. At first, I didn't think I could get it on. Like, at all. And once I was in it, I didn't think I could breathe.
And it was a fine art getting all the layers right... pantyhose... then low-back bra converter... then shaper... then dress. Then remember I still had to put on deodorant, so everything came off, and boy, was it a good thing I remember it, because getting dressed again could have worked up quite the sweat... pantyhose... bra converter... shaper... dress...
And then I had to take it all off one more time when I remembered to go pee.
That was when I made the rule that we would be leaving the party the moment I had to pee, because there was no way that I could do the shape wear gymnastics in a small bathroom stall.
I enjoyed not having to remember to hold my stomach firm all night: I couldn't relax it -- but that made it very difficult to eat. But that's ok, it squished my stomach to the point where I didn't feel the need to eat. Somehow I was already full.
Just after the meal was over, I realized I was still in the habit of consuming large amounts of water, meaning I had to hit the powder room and it was far too early to leave. That pretty much set the tone for the evening. I tell you, by the time the night was over, I had the pantyhose, bra, shapewear, dress pattern down to an art.
And when the night was over, I was ready to peel every single layer off me.
When I did, I realized one lingering side effect to the shape wear... whether it was the squeezing of my stomach acid up my esophagus or constricting of my ribs inflaming the associated cartilage, it felt like my chestal / heart region was on fire.
Scott had asked me, earlier in the night as I was trying out different layering techniques, why I was going through all of the effort... why not just wear my backup outfit? I blushed and made some comment about rounding the corner to 30 and needing to get one last wear out of some of my more revealing outfits before they became age inappropriate.
Maybe it would have been a smarter idea to affix the season of "Summer" to this dress, rather than the season of "youth"... at the end of the night, I still loved the dress, and I'm sure I'll wear it again in my 30s, but that shapewear? It's hitting the trash.
6 comments:
Well, you look gorgeous, but was it all worth it? I hate shapewear and rarely wear it (it's been a couple of years, I think).ReplyDelete
You look wonderful, but I freely confess to not owing a single piece of shape wear and it isn't on my list of top million things to buy...lolReplyDelete
Owning...ugh! Someday I will learn to type on this iPad.ReplyDelete
I too wrote a post on my shape wear debacle. What a nightmare. So I totally empathize with you.ReplyDelete
You looked great. This dress can be worn well into your 40's girl! I don't believe there should be an age limit on such items. It's such a classic cut and colour. I really love that necklace too.
I have shapewear and have worn it with pantyhose, etc. The discomfort is intense and would be worse the longer I wore it. I wondered why women tolerated that. Men never would. I guess everyone draws their own line on comfort/vanity. I certainly understand your reaction to it.ReplyDelete
Awww! I've never worn shape wear. I think you look amazing in your dress, but I think Scott may be right - if something is comfortable and causes that much DIScomfort - time for another dress. Or at least kick that one back to summer seasons.ReplyDelete
Dresses don't stop working after you hit a certain age, but dresses that aren't comfortable suck at ANY age.

Yoga Journal Estes: Tias Little's "Right Effort." ~ Robyn Lawrence
Nothing at this conference is going to be what I thought.
Yesterday Ana Forrest had us move the crap out of our bellies before we opened our hearts, and in Tias Little's session today, "Practice for the Core," we worked our quadriceps and inner groin because they're the gateway to strengthening the inner psoas.
"It's fashionable these days to talk about the core," Tias said before we practiced, and he made reference to yoga enterprises that are making bank by emphasizing core strength.
Little said that while core strength is crucial because the core sheath contains a bundle of nerves connected to the chakras, it pays to be intelligent in cultivating that.
Everyone holds tension in the gut, Tias said, and negative vibration in particular settles in the core sheath. Holding all that stress in the gut affects menstruation, digestion and hormonal rhythms. But "muscularizing your way through that is not your best way to strengthen," he said. "You have to be very delicate, like you're approaching an animal in the wild."
It turns out that all the core work I've pushed myself to do in the past decade might actually be harming more than helping me. This will change my practice.
Tias suggested that we learn to soften our "pusher side" and instead start working more intelligently with the core sheath by strengthening the upper legs and inner arches of our feet. He called it "right effort."
It's fine with me that "right effort" doesn't include bicycle sit-ups.
Like elephant Yoga on Facebook.

[…] Tias Little directed, "Unwinding the Low Back" to a large audience, of which only one person raised their hand as having never had any low back pain in the past. With modern society constantly encouraging shitty posture I found it uncanny that somebody had such delightful fortune. The experience of lower back pain is also quite easily brought forth through irresponsible yoga practices. And by irresponsible I primarily mean unaware of several areas that Tias focused his class upon: alignment of the sacrum, including positioning of the sacroiliac joints and pelvic floor. […]
ok, but what exercises did she say to do to strengthen the feet and upper legs??
We did some basics: downward dogs with focus on the quads, warrior 2 and triangle, bridge with a strap around the thighs and boat with a strap around our backs and the back of our thighs (this one's my new favorite…feels amazing!).
thank you, I disagree a bit but we are all learning and that is helpful.

"Republicans are committed to an all-of-the-above energy strategy that creates American jobs and reduces our reliance on unstable foreign energy. The current burdensome regulatory system discourages interest in renewable energy production on public lands and devalues the original multiuse purpose of these lands," said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04). "The four bills passed by the Committee are a strong step towards fostering an atmosphere of increased renewable energy production on federal lands and waters by removing bureaucratic government obstacles and red-tape. America has been blessed with an abundance of energy resources, of all kinds, and we should be actively looking to use those resources to create jobs and improve America's energy security."

Strong dagger
From: the island of Ithaca, Greece
Date: 1300-1100 BC
Archaeologists have found many broken weapons in the graves of warriors. Their swords and daggers had a tendency to break off in battle because the handle and blade were made in two parts.
This dagger has an unusually shaped handle and was made in one piece, so it is much stronger. It probably came from the island of Ithaca, which was the home of the legendary hero Odysseus.

(Spoiler alert: Season 2 predictions will include recaps of what happened in Season 1. If you haven't seen Season 1, get over to Netflix and watch it!)
Netflix's House of Cards was nominated for four Golden Globes just hours before they launched their Season 2 trailer. They were also nominated for nine Emmys and took home three. Indeed, the part-political thriller, part-drama, part-social science experiment starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright was an incredible hit in its first season. Unfortunately, Season 2 will be the final season for House of Cards, citing the actors' and producers' preferences to do movies over a television series.
Here are 11 questions to be answered in House of Cards Season two:
1. Reporter and former Underwood mistress Zoe Barnes is onto Frank Underwood's (Spacey) murder of Representative Peter Russo, and she confronts Underwood by saying "I need to know I wasn't a part of someone's... murder." How close has Barnes come to the truth, and with whom has she shared this information? (The trailer suggests at least her fellow colleagues Janine Skorsky and Lucas Goodwin.)
2. Underwood suggests "the road to power is paved with hypocrisy... and casualties." Who will those casualties be in Season 2? In Season 1, casualties included union bosses and members, Congressional staffers, reporters, unions, business owners, Congressmen and women, Democratic Party officials, and even the life of a sitting Congressman. Some of those characters were "fired," killing them out of the series. But what about those who remain: reporters Zoe Barnes, Lucas Goodwin, and Janine Skorsky? Lobbyist and former Underwood employee Remy Danton? Personal friend of the President Raymond Tusk? Underwood's chief of staff Doug Stamper?
In the Season 2 trailer, we see Underwood tell Stamper "we need to invite a full frontal attack." Stamper tells Underwood "I don't think that's a good idea, sir." We see a white hood removed from a man's head, as if he had just been kidnapped. We also see a white powder come out of a manila envelope Skorsky opens in her office. What sort of response is Underwood hoping to accomplish?
3. Underwood feels he needs to prove "what the Vice President is capable of." Well, what is the Vice President capable of? The man whom Underwood is replacing, Jim Mathews, left the job as Vice President for a run at Governor of Pennsylvania because he complained being Vice President was only about shaking hands and signing autographs. He complained he had little value in advising the President on policies and courses of action. Now that Underwood is in the Vice President's chair, what does he want to prove? Will he use the seat to quickly punish those who disobeyed him as Majority Government Whip (e.g. Representatives Abrams and Vanderberg)?
4. How will the relationship between Barnes and Goodwin progress? In Season 1, once Barnes finally ends her affair/fling with Underwood she seems to come to her senses and begins to settle down in a relationship with Goodwin. The two are beginning to become a power couple-journalism team as they begin to learn about Underwood's house of cards with Skorsky. Yet, we also see Barnes passionately kissing another female in a bed. Is Barnes back to her old ways of sleeping around to get a story? Or is she still confused and full of father issues?
5. Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) continues to stand by her ruthless husband, saying "I know you'll do what you think is best." However, in Season 1 she was not against plainly sabotaging her husband's political plans when she felt her own politics were more important (for her non-profit water filtration organization). Will Claire be pushed to a breaking point, or will she continue to stand by her husband? Why does Underwood appear to be burying his wedding ring?
6. Who will take office in the upcoming elections? As we left Season 1, Vice President Mathews was leaving the office for what was thought to be an easy win to be re-elected as Governor of Pennsylvania. Paul Capra, the shipbuilders' union leader and childhood friend of Russo, was approached to run as the Democratic candidate to replace Russo after his death. Capra declined at the time, but will he change his mind?
7. Did Doug Stamper, Underwood's chief of staff, cause Underwood public humiliation and embarrassment over Stamper's use and bribe of Rachel the prostitute? In Season 1, Stamper bribed Rachel to say she was never in the car when Russo was arrested for driving while intoxicated. That bribe came back to haunt Stamper when Rachel blackmailed him, saying she knew who Stamper was and threatened to take down Stamper's boss (Underwood). This caused Stamper to put Rachel up in a new apartment and help her start a new life for herself.
Stamper's generosity came to help Underwood, when Stamper needed Rachel to get Russo drunk and do a radio interview on Russo's run for Governor while still drunk the following morning. In the Season 2 trailer, Underwood says to Stamper "I did my part, now put it to bed Doug. I won't submit myself to this sort of exposure again." How much of Stamper's actions are known, and did Stamper's actions hurt the Vice President, or was Underwood able to contain it? Will Stamper be fired?
8. How influential will Raymond Tusk be in Season 2? In Season 1, it was Raymond Tusk who was secretly vetting Underwood for his suitability as Vice President while Underwood thought he was vetting Tusk for his suitability as Vice President. To make Tusk reveal his hand and potentially feel more loyalty to Underwood, Underwood attempted to shake up a few of Tusk's nuclear energy investments by approaching some oil and gas companies to engage in insider trading. The plan didn't work, since Tusk was tipped off and sold his investments.
In the Season 2 trailer, we hear what sounds to be Tusk telling the President "you would be making a disastrous mistake." We also hear Tusk telling Underwood, "the tip of your ice berg is melting," suggesting Tusk may also be on to Underwood's house of cards. Finally, we see Tusk on the phone telling someone "yeah, hit him now." What sort of repayment will Tusk expect for supporting Underwood's nomination as Vice President, what sort of power does Tusk wield to retaliate against Underwood, and how will the President view the Tusk vs. Underwood conflict?
9. Who will replace Underwood as Majority Government Whip? Underwood, being promoted into the Vice President's chair, will have an enormous influence over who is chosen as his replacement. Will he choose a lapdog, a loyal and friendly Representative? That seems unlikely, since there were few Representatives with whom Underwood was friendly in Season 1. What seems more likely is that Underwood will nominate someone he doesn't like, either so he can later cash in on favours or so that person can be humiliated and eventually thrown aside when a better replacement can be found.
10. In a news interview, we see the title "dirty laundry" on a television as a reporter asks a female "so this goes all the way to the White House?" She responds "it might." But the voice does not sound like Barnes' or Skorsky's -- who is this new person? Further, is this the same dirty laundry from Season 1 (Russo's death, Barnes' affair), or is this new dirty laundry?
11. How much will the President stand for? Remember, Underwood's house of cards started because Underwood felt he was passed over by the President for a Secretary of State spot. One could think now that Underwood has the Vice President's chair he would rekindle any hard feelings he has, but that would be wrong.
In Season 1 Underwood admitted he wanted the Vice President's spot so he could run for President in 2016. That means he will be a very active and visible Vice President, as he seeks every opportunity to put his face on the positive government accomplishments and hide from the negative. That's why the trailer shows Underwood in front of the cameras or being interviewed by reporters several times, whereas in the first season very rarely did he make media appearances. We see the President tell Underwood "I told you to stop back-channeling," to which Underwood replies "I can turn this around, sir." The President responds with "you are out of line, Frank!"
And finally, with season two being the final season, how will it end? Will it be 2016 with Underwood having announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for President? Will it end in present-day with Underwood remaining as Vice President? Will Underwood have resigned?
These are just a few questions that will surely be answered throughout Season 2. Season 2 is to be released on February 14, 2014 on Netflix, with all episodes being immediately available.

Hah which reminds me this is a good article about Ross:
Gordo tweeted:
"I'm pretty comfortable moving all over. I like it that way, too. It keeps me on my toes and ready each and every game."--Bryant last week.
So it could be he's just saying the right things, but I believe him.
Which means if you shut this place down, and the Cubs go back to their old ways, we will all have to hunt you down, kidnap you, and strap you to a chair to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck repeatedly, with dollops of Hawk Harrelson thrown in for good measure.
You got a problem with David Ross?

Pitcher batting 9th. Bryant in left, Schwarber in right.
i'm not ready for it to end.
i'm not ready for "well, they weren't supposed to make it this year..."
i'm not ready to talk about the off-season yet.
I can relate to that, E-Man. I don't think I'll enjoy watching a high-stakes away game like this on TV. I've watched a lot of games this season after they ended or at least after the Cubs got out to a decent lead. Since they usually win, I've gotten to see a lot of baseball.
But in this case I think we should probably all watch the game live, and not let the pressure exceed the pleasure.
Remember, as I told my wife when our kids went off to college -- this is a good thing! Enjoy it!
Fully agree -- can't prove it. But, the numbers are what they are, and a lot of his OF games have come in Aug & Sept, when he has been killing the ball otherwise. And, knowing how baseball players love routine, it seems logical that it could at least be a a factor.
Really, really, really hope I'm wrong on this.
Indeed! It has been absolute blast -- from getting swept by the Phillies to sweeping the Giants, I have always enjoyed being part of this group. Hope we have a lot more games to talk about this year.
Yes, cheers to me! I've noticed a fairly strong correlation between my tenure and Cubbie victories.
And thanks to Michael for our new diggs--and to y'all for sticking around!

Mitt Romney said Monday he wasn't concerned about Donald Trump's commitment to the "birther" conspiracy, one day before the GOP presidential candidate hosts a fund-raiser alongside the celebrity business magnate. Asked on his charter plane whether Trump's questioning of President Barack Obama's birthplace gave him pause, Romney simply said he was grateful for all his supporters. "You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in," Romney said. "But I need to get 50.1% or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."

Hometown Puzzle
For Christmas this year I gave my parents a personalized puzzle featuring a custom map of the area around their lake cabin. "From any starting point, we'll create a 400-piece puzzle of a six-by-four-mile area using U.S. Geological Survey maps. A house-shaped piece in the center represents the address you choose. Shows main roads, contour lines, water features, vegetation, and notable buildings. Arrives in a presentation box with space for a personal message." If you search for a promo code, you can save 20%. (Order by 12/14/2009 for Christmas delivery.)

Pamela Anderson and Salma Hayek are two Hollywood sex icons, but neither looked the part this week.
We don't mind the former "Baywatch" babe's conservative dress (she's reportedly toning down her look), but what is up with that hair?
And Salma -- who is married to the head of Louis Vuitton -- looked super sloppy. Get those pants hemmed!
Plus former child-star Tia Mowry ("Sister, Sister") was barely recognizable with her two-toned hair and bad makeup.

Milwaukee Bucks Mid-Week Report – Week 24
Welcome to the Milwaukee Bucks Mid-Week Report:
What We Have Seen :
We've seen the mystery of the 2010/11 Milwaukee Bucks season continue down to the last week. In back-to-back road games in Florida, against two Eastern Conference playoff teams, the Bucks fought tooth and nail down to the final buzzer against the Orlando Magic, and maintained a lead nearly the entire game in a victory over the currently 2nd-seeded Miami Heat. The win in Miami was especially nice as it avoided the season sweep vs. the Heat who are jockeying for playoff positioning. The mystery came when the Bucks proceeded to get stepped on by the (slightly worse than the Bucks) Detroit Pistons. The entire season for Milwaukee was scarred by losses to teams in the lower half of the league.
What We Have Not Seen :
We have never seen Drew Gooden put up a triple-double in his entire career until Saturday night, when he went for 15 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists. Where did that come from? People do crazy things when there is nothing left to fight for. But the current Bucks, under the regime of General Manager John Hammond and Head Coach Scott Skiles, are a group that doesn't give up easily. Even with injured players being shut down the rest of the year, they've been an aggressive bunch, and will continue to be in the future.
What We Wish We Would Have Seen :
People will love to speculate how the season would have been different without the injuries. The biggest one happened a year ago to Andrew Bogut, who never fully recovered after two surgeries, and who will undergo a third one on the same arm and elbow on Tuesday. They can no longer answer the "what if's" this season, but they'll have to come out with a vengeance next year.
What We Wish We Could See But It Has Not Happened Yet So Therefore We Cannot See It :
We are a bit nervous to see how the home crowd will treat the team in the final Bradley Center game Monday night. What size crowd will be in attendance? Will they boo a dismal season, or will they cheer the long-awaited end of this mess? Will they cheer for the effort the Bucks put up most nights? What kind of reaction will Michael Redd get in his final home game for the Bucks? I still believe he deserves his jersey in the rafters. Say what you will about the contract given to him, but Michael Redd was a true hero on so many disgusting Bucks teams in the 2000s, the direct result of former General Manager Larry Harris and his failures in the front office.
Some Stats to Know :
Last 10 Games: 5-5 Record (3-4 road, 2-1 home)
Final 2 Games : 1 Road (.675 Oppenent's %), 1 Home (.275 %)

McKinney wide receiver T.V. Williams chooses Kentucky
After narrowing down his college choices to five finalists, McKinney wide receiver T.V. Williams announced today that he will commit to Kentucky.
The other finalists included Oregon State, Nebraska, Iowa and Houston.
This past season at McKinney, Williams caught 45 passes for 789 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was also invited to attend The Opening in Beaverton, Ore. that was held last week.
