Establishing New Electric Service at a New Location: Guidelines for Houses and Manufactured Homes
These guidelines are provided to help guide you through the process for obtaining electric service for a newly constructed home or a relocated manufactured home in Entergy's service area. They specify the information that you need to have when applying for service and provide you answers to specific questions that you may have. To help speed up the process please have all the necessary information at the time you call 1-800-ENTERGY.

If the home is built in a new subdivision, please provide the lot and block number as well. In cases where the "911" address is not issued, provide a good description of how we can locate the property. Entergy will set up your service and wait for the receipt of the "911" address assignment. You will need to call us again when the address is permanently assigned so that we may update our records.
Note: Make sure the address is visibly posted on the site or it could delay the service installation. Normally, you can post it on a mailbox or a sign in the yard.
• Mailing address (if your mailing address is different from the street address supplied above).
• Name that you intend to register your electric service. The requirements are:
• The person must be at least 18 years of age.
• Entergy will check with a national credit agency to determine if a deposit is necessary. If a deposit is required, it will appear on your first month's bill. Click here for the deposit amount.

• Drivers license number and state of issue
• Social Security number
• Date of birth
• Employer.
• Daytime telephone number or a contact person (to reach you should a question arise concerning your service or location). If we cannot reach you your service may be delayed.

• What size of electric service do you require? (100, 200, etc. amp service).
• Is the electrical service classified underground or overhead?
• Is lot cleared of debris?
Step 2 – Determine Electric Service Requirements.

• Is the transformer within 200 feet of the meter?
• Is the service pole on the same side of the road and within 75 feet of the meter?
• Can Entergy run its line without going over trees or the building structure?
• If a lot, is there a house on either side of the lot?
Underground service
For Entergy requirements click here.
Will the underground service feed from an overhead or underground service point?
Has the permanent underground service wire been set? Does it meet Entergy requirements?
Is the meter loop
- within 200 feet by the path it will travel of an established source (transformer or pole)?
- on the same customer's property?
- a single meter only?
Is the main breaker in the panel 200 amps or less?
Is the service 120/240 single phase?
If not, consult the company (1-800-ENTERGY).
Will you or Entergy trench the premises and lay the underground conduit? If you are providing the trench you must meet Entergy requirements and ensure the pull string is pulled through the conduit. The standard is company provided cable (consult the company).
For a lot, is there a house on either side of the lot?
Step 3 – Review Permit or Approval Requirements
• A permit may be required from your city or county. If so, any required inspections or permits must be made before Entergy can connect your electric service. Entergy must receive the permit or approval from the permitting authority before establishing your service. Entergy will notify you by telephone when we receive your permit or approval.
• For temporary service, most local authorities require that a permit or approval be issued.
• Mississippi requires that manufactured homes have a registration number (like that for your automobile). Entergy is not permitted to turn-on your service without the registration number.
• If a permit is required, Entergy must place a "hold" on your electric service request. When we receive the required permits or approval(s) then we shall notify you by telephone that your permit or approval was received and the scheduled service connection date. Please provide a good telephone number so that we can inform you of the permit or approval receipt and your scheduled service date. Keep in mind that routine service is normally connected within two business days of submitting the request if additional work is not required for design or underground.
Step 4 – Establishing the Electric Service Request – What to Expect
• Provide Entergy at least a three-business day advanced notice for establishing temporary or permanent service to your house or manufactured home if you already have received the required permits or approvals.
• If you have not yet applied for the inspections/permits or approvals and they are required, we must place your new service order on hold until they are received. When received, electric service is normally connected within three business days thereafter, provided that additional work is not required for design or underground. Entergy will notify you by telephone when we receive your permit or approval and provide you the date that we will have services connected. Please provide a good telephone number that we can reach you.
• Connect fees. A small fee may be collected on your first bill to energize your home. The Mississippi Public Utility Commission has authorized a connect fee of $45 plus any applicable taxes.
• If you have also requested installation of one or more Entergy security lights, your electric service may be turned-on prior to the light installation.
Step 5 – Additional Program Options
You are invited to examine our programs online or discuss them with our representatives if you apply for service over the telephone. Once your service is established you can also revisit this website and apply online.

Chiropractic care is a profession that treats musculoskeletal problems trough manual therapy and spine manipulation. Chiropractic care mostly deals with spinal problems and back pains. Spine manipulation, although it sounds painful, is the primary approach, but chiropractic also deals with joints, muscles and the overall framework of the body.
Chiropractic comes from the Greek word "cheir" which means hand and "praxis" which is action. Combined, chiropractic literally means "done by hand" or "treatment by hand". Chiropractors are the professionals who practice chiropractic profession. They are licensed by the state and are required to undergo formal education before practicing the chosen profession.
Modern chiropractic started in 1800s when Daniel David Palmer performed the first spinal manipulation on a patient. Chiropractic went far after that and became the third largest medical field and the largest in complementary and alternative medicine. Currently, there are more than 50,000 licensed chiropractors in United States alone. They are even incorporated and included in the U.S. military health system.
Chiropractors nowadays are not only knowledgeable in treating musculoskeletal disorders but are also involved in nutrition and healthy lifestyle counselling. Chiropractors nowadays, also know something about physiotherapy, herbal therapy, heat/cold therapy acupuncture, exercise programs and other methods of instruction. They also include this kind of treatment in their treatment methods.
The Philosophy Behind
There are two basic concepts that chiropractic practitioners follow: (1) the body functions according to its structure and condition, and (2) health and healing relies on the interaction between the mind and the body.
An example would be when the spine is in its abnormal position. This could result to some nerves in the spine to get irritated and therefore can lead to back pain and muscle pain. The functionality of the spine can get affected, thus the whole body framework gets affected. This is the reason why it is important for chiropractic to reposition the spine to alleviate any physical discomforts.
This is why there is less emphasis on surgery, the body can heal through the patient's ability to recuperate, healthy lifestyle and environment. With chiropractic, illnesses can be cured by understanding not only the symptoms but also the reason for the illness to totally remove the sickness. Chiropractic also relies on the hands-on approach and is patient-centered.
A chiropractic professional should not only be good with the medical profession, but also employs critical thinking, open-mindedness and appreciation of the natural order of things. It is also important for chiropractic clinics to have a conducive environment where patients will be encouraged to recover and function properly.
Chiropractic Benefits
Most patients of chiropractic care would have back pains, arthritis, muscle stiffness, muscle spasms and other problems. Pain is relieved and the patient can move better. Joints and tissues would heal and pain would leave. A new chiropractic patient may find the treatment painful at first. A body which has been out of line for a long time may feel different the fits time it has been put into place.
Patients who have undergone chiropractic treatment would say that they would feel more energy, sleep better at night, lesser stress and tension. There are patients who prefer to have chiropractic care over medical treatments since it is perfectly natural, involves no drugs and needles and affordable.
Patients also choose chiropractic care because it is safe. Since there are no drugs used in the treatment, there is less possibility that the patient would get addicted to medication. Surveys also showed that malpractice among chiropractors is considerably lower compared to medical practitioners.
Other exceptional benefits of chiropractic care include:
- Improved immunity and overall health
- Improved athletic performance
- Improved posture
- Improve spinal structure and makes spinal disks healthier
- Shows significant effects on slowing down the aging process
Chiropractic also showed a great help among pregnant women. Chiropractic adjustments showed that it could help expectant mothers to deliver easily. There are also studies showing that pregnant women who have undergone chiropractic adjustments can decrease their labor time by 50 percent.
Another great advantage of getting chiropractic care is that the pain relief can be instant. You get to be relieved from nagging and recurring problems like back pains, indigestion and neck pain. Cures to these diseases can be found in chiropractic and are not present in any other kind of medicine.

Lopez Arch is small relative to more majestic arches but provides a unique view into the life-cycle of an arch as this one is very young - the opening only being about 4 feet across. Located between Moab and Monticello Utah, this arch is a short 1/4 mile from highway 191 and provides a nice stretch of the legs to the traveler willing to walk over and see it up close.
Lopez Arch can be seen from the road but is easy to miss, especially in some lighting conditions. There isn't a maintained trail to the arch but the beautiful walk is achievable by anyone sure-footed enough to climb household stairs.

does anybody has a "good" example for

I write a lot of command line tools for

to provide successfull execution of the
Now the checking in general is no
problem, but i´m uneasy about which
design approach to use...
Until now i usually used an launcher
class that passes the command line args
to a "validating" module ( class ) that
also sets the class fields if the args
were correct.
I used to set the class fields in the
constructor of the "validating" class
and a lot more... that is i do a lot of

now i ask myself is that really a good
way to go or are there better/more

KATE SPADE ON PARADE: Could Fifth & Pacific Cos. Inc. be open to considering spinning off one or more of its brands?
The parent company plans to hold a Kate Spade Investor Day for the financial community on March 15. The event, whose location hasn't been determined yet, will be Webcast. This is the first of three planned events for 2013, with similar presentations for Lucky Brand to take place near the end of the second quarter and another planned for Juicy Couture near the end of the third quarter. Last April, the company hosted a multibrand event, but this is the first time it is putting the spotlight on individual brands.
This story first appeared in the January 18, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
As reported, investors have pushed FNP to spin off at least a piece of the Kate Spade business, which is the company's most profitable brand. William L. McComb, chairman and chief executive officer of FNP, said this week that management was at least open to the notion of a different corporate structure, which unlocks value.

The UFC's stacked New Year's Day card is nearing completion.
UFC brass today officially added Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens and Daniel Roberts vs. Greg Soto to the UFC 125 preliminary card.
Both contested previously were reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring title fights on both the lightweight and newly created featherweight divisions, "UFC 125: Resolution" takes place Jan. 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs live on pay-per-view.
Davis (17-7 MMA, 9-5 UFC), a former pro boxer who fights for the 15th time under the UFC banner, makes his debut in the lightweight division after an extended run at welterweight. Upon hearing of Davis' intentions to drop, fellow striker Stephens immediately took to Twitter and openly campaigned to be his first opponent. The potential slugfest now is slated for the UFC's first-of-the-year card.
Stephens (18-6 MMA, 5-5 UFC) long has been one of the UFC's most exciting prospects, but a recent split-decision loss to Melvin Guillard proved a methodical and largely lackluster affair. The Midwest native, who entered the bout on a two-fight win streak, now is based in San Diego, where his ground game is catching up to his dynamic striking skills that have led to two "KO of the Night" bonuses and a "Fight of the Night" award.
Roberts (11-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), a Cesar Gracie-trained fighter based in California, quietly looks for his third consecutive UFC win. After suffering a knockout loss to John Howard in his promotional debut at UFC on Versus 1, Roberts since has posted a split-decision win over Forrest Petz (UFC 116) and a submission victory over Mike Guymon (UFC 121). A Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt, Roberts has recorded eight of his 11 career wins via submission.
Soto (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), a Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt and an instructor at Pellegrino MMA in New Jersey, looks to build off his first UFC victory, which came via unanimous decision over Nick Osipczak at UFC 118. Prior to the fight, he posted a 7-0 record in Northeast organizations and signed with the UFC. But his promotional debut ended in a disqualification loss when he tagged Matthew Riddle with an illegal upkick at UFC 111.
The full UFC 125 card includes:
- Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (for lightweight title)
- Champ Jose Aldo vs. Josh Grispi (for featherweight title)
- Takanori Gomi vs. Clay Guida
- Nate Diaz vs. Dong Hyun Kim
- Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann
- Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera
- Marcus Davis vs. Jeremy Stephens
- Daniel Roberts vs. Greg Soto
- Antonio McKee vs. Jacob Volkmann
- Mike Brown vs. Diego Nunes*
- Cole Miller vs. Matt Wiman*
- Phil Baroni vs. Brad Tavares*
* – Not officially announced

The canalith repositioning procedure can help relieve benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition in which you have brief, but intense, episodes of dizziness that occur when you move your head. Vertigo usually comes from a problem with the part of the inner ear responsible for balance (vestibular labyrinth). BPPV occurs when tiny particles called otoconia in one part of your inner ear break loose and fall into the canals of your inner ear.
The canalith repositioning procedure can move the otoconia to a part of your ear where they won't cause dizziness. Performed in your doctor's office, the canalith repositioning procedure consists of several simple head maneuvers. The procedure is quite effective, relieving vertigo in approximately 80 percent of individuals after one or two treatments. However, the problem may recur.
The canalith repositioning procedure is performed to move the symptom-causing otoconia from the fluid-filled semicircular canals of your inner ear into a tiny bag-like open area (vestibule) that houses one of the otolith organs (utricle) in your ear. Once there, these particles won't cause vertigo and will likely dissolve or be reabsorbed by bodily fluids in your ear.
The canalith repositioning procedure should always be performed under the supervision of a medical professional due to certain risks involved, such as:
- Neck or back injury
- Movement of the otoconia into a canal other than the utricle, which could continue to cause vertigo
- Side effects, including feelings of nausea, dizziness and lightheadedness, which may require medication to relieve
Make sure you tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have, such as a neck or back condition, a detached retina, or vascular problems, before beginning the canalith repositioning procedure. You may need to delay having the canalith repositioning procedure.
There are no special preparations for the canalith repositioning procedure. Wear clothing that will allow you to move freely through each of the maneuvers.
During the procedure
The canalith repositioning procedure involves holding four positions for about 30 to 45 seconds each or as long as symptoms remain while you hold that position. Typically, you will remain in each position an extra 20 seconds after your symptoms have stopped. The procedure may be repeated three or more times within a treatment session.
Depending on your health provider's preferences, you may wear an infrared imaging device over your eyes. This device helps your health provider examine your eyes during each maneuver. The device can help but it isn't necessary for successful treatment.
Here are the steps involved in the canalith repositioning procedure.
- Step 1. First you move from a sitting to a reclining position with your head turned to the affected side by 45 degrees. Your health provider will help extend your head over the edge of the table at a slight angle.
- Step 2. With your head still extended over the edge of the table, you'll be prompted to turn your head slowly away from the affected side by about 90 degrees.
- Step 3. Roll onto your side. Your head should be slightly angled while you look down at the floor.
- Step 4. Finally, you return carefully to a sitting position with your head tilted down and returned to the center position.
After the procedure
After the procedure, you'll need to keep the treated ear above the level of your shoulder for the rest of that day, so don't lie flat the rest of the day of treatment. At night, sleep on a slight incline with your head above your shoulders, using a few pillows. This lets the particles floating in your vestibular labyrinth settle into your utricle or be reabsorbed by your body fluids.
The next morning, following your doctor's instructions, you may need to perform similar exercises — but without hanging your head over the edge of the bed — by yourself to check whether the procedure in the office was effective. If your vertigo continues, tell your doctor. You may need to perform these exercises for several days before your symptoms subside.
Nearly 80 percent of people who undergo the procedure experience relief. If symptoms return, however, then a repeat of the canalith repositioning procedure can be used. It may be necessary to repeat the procedure several times to relieve your symptoms. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms don't improve.

Hmmm.... These historically never work out for me, but here are some...
- Continue the downward trend in yarn aquisition. I'm not saying I'm not buying, but hopefully I'm buying less and using it.
- Finish the blanket out of Mainline sometime next year. If I don't resolve to finish it, it could hang around for years.
- Try to start Christmas knitting early and to resist the temptation to give those gifts early.
- Finish projects that were started in 2007- no UFO's older than 1 year!
- Try to use my sweaters' worth of donegal tweed, eco wool, classic elite provence, and matchmaker merino. These yarns have been in my stash for TOO LONG.
- Make a lace shawl. I've never done this.
- Try toe up socks. Never done this either.

'Cause Who Would Hear Me Scream? A Faith No More Mixtape for the Joker
One could almost make the case that the four Faith No More albums produced during the Mike Patton era were written for the Joker.
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
-- Alfred (Michael Caine), The Dark Knight
"And it's okay to laugh about it."
-- Faith No More, "Ricochet" (King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime)
In a feat worthy of the Clown Prince of Crime, Faith No More somehow managed to encapsulate the fractured, subversive purpose of Heath Ledger's Joker 16 years before Ledger's Joker came into being. Consider this excerpt from "Midlife Crisis", a single from 1992's Angel Dust:
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
This notion struck me while I was listening to Faith No More on my iPod while doing the evening dishes. (I initially titled this column "Compiling Joker's iTunes Playlist", but a mixtape is more do-it-yourself and somehow anarchic; surely an iPod is too tidy for Joker.) I was also struck by the song's chorus:
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me, you're only you
Huh. Sounds like something Joker might say to Batman. Come to think of it, so does this lyric from "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies", from Faith No More's King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime: "Your day has finally come / So wear the hat and do the dance, and let the suit keep wearing you."
Indeed, the more I thought about the Mike Patton era of Faith No More, the more it seemed that one could almost make the case that their four studio albums were written for the Joker. Here I speak not just of Heath Ledger's portrayal, but indeed every incarnation of the Joker character since his first comic book appearance in 1940.
Surely Faith No More's more abrasive tracks ("Caffeine", for example, or "Smaller and Smaller") would appeal to the character who described himself as "an agent of chaos" in 2008's The Dark Knight. It seems equally certain that the Joker of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean's Arkham Asylum graphic novel, who raised unsettling but credible implications about Batman's relationship with the young, tights-clad Robin, would endorse vocalist Mike Patton's justification for the shockingly loyal direction the band took with their cover of Lionel Richie's "Easy"; asked why the band opted to play it straight rather than add thrashed-out guitar work or what-have-you, Patton insisted (correctly), "It's more Satanic this way."
"It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious!"
-- Faith No More, "Ricochet" (King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime)
In Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke, the Joker offers what might be his definitive statement from seven decades of appearances in print and on the small and large screens:
It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for—it's all a monstrous, demented gag!
The Joker who delivered that line would love the smash-cut from verse to chorus in Faith No More's "Collision," from 1997's Album of the Year:
When the dawn breaks
With a handshake
Relaxed and feeling great
Head-on! Head-on! Head-on!
I'm needin'
A head-on! Head-on! Head-on!
Arkham Asylum ends with Batman escaping from a truly lunatics-run asylum, only to have Joker bid him farewell by saying, "Enjoy yourself out there… in the asylum." This corresponds to lyrics from Faith No More's "Pristina", the final song from 1997's Album of the Year:
These walls won't keep them out
They'll keep you in
What a Joker thing to say; let's not forget his choice of words in The Dark Knight when he repeatedly mocked Batman's impotent efforts to intimidate him: "You have all these rules, and you think they'll save you!"
"Rhymes and giggles muffle the dialogue"
-- Faith No More, "Kindergarten" (Angel Dust)
Then there is 1989's The Real Thing, which is tame and mild compared to Faith No More's later efforts, though it boasts more than a few hints of depravity and sedition sure to appeal to Joker. "From Out of Nowhere" sounds almost like a traditional love song, but it also happens to be the perfect From Joker To Batman ballad:
Obsession rules me
I'm yours from the start…
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry…
All becomes you
Skeptical? Recall Joker's plea to Batman in The Dark Knight: "You complete me." Ledger's delivery of this line was arresting not because it was sarcastic, but because it was utterly earnest; I wouldn't hesitate to deem his delivery more charged than Tom Cruise's offering of the same line to Renée Zellweger in Jerry Maguire.
Joker's sincerity simultaneously subverts and validates the corny Hallmark power of the original line, much in the same way that an errant hand on a steamy car window in a crass and miserable sex scene between Shep (David Harbour) and April (Kate Winslet) in Revolutionary Road made a subtle mockery of the more famous and audience-pleasing love scene between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.
"You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!"
-- Joker (Heath Ledger), The Dark Knight
Or perhaps the unfortunately titled "Zombie Eaters" better summarizes Joker's feelings for Batman. It seems on the surface to have been written from the perspective of a baby singing the praises of its mother, but Faith No More songs are seldom that straightforward. I've long believed that the narrator of "Zombie Eaters" and the pedophile character who narrates "Edge of the World" (both from The Real Thing) might be one and the same; perhaps the baby's perspective is only utilized to reflect that the pedophile character is stunted.
Whatever the case, "Zombie Eaters" contains lyrics that could definitely apply to Joker's relationship with Batman:
You're everything, that's why I cling to you…
I like to make a mess
I laugh at your distress
Mike Patton behaving rather Joker-esque
In the case of Patton singing "I need my toys," I couldn't help but be reminded of Jack Nicholson marveling aloud in 1989's Batman, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
Also from "Zombie Eaters":
If I smile, then you'll smile
Then I'll get mad for a while

The upstart MMA Xplosion organization returns to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 9, and top Wand Fight Team product Vitor Vianna (9-1-1) meets former reality-show subject and UFC vet Aaron Brink (22-18) in the night's main event.
The event's co-feature sees one-time UFC vet and "The Ultimate Fighter 10" cast member Scott Junk (9-2-1) face undefeated Sambo stylist Blagoi Ivanov (2-0).
The night's card broadcasts in its entirety on the Takedown Sports Network, and MMAjunkie.com lead staff reporter John Morgan and "MMA:30" host and X107.5 FM radio personality Dave Farra once again call the action.
Morgan and Farra also paired together to call MMA Xplosion's July and May events, and the duo has teamed up to broadcast several fight cards from the nationally recognized amateur promotion Tuff-N-Uff.
Vianna fights under the MMA Xplosion banner for the second time. The Brazilian returned from a 26-month layoff and submitted B.J. Lacy in the opening round of their man-event contest at July's MMA Xplosion event. Meanwhile, Brink recently fought for the first time in 35 months. In February, the "Intervention" subject was defeated in the first round by recent UFC signee Travis Browne.
Junk also returns for the second time for MMA Xplosion. "Punk Haole" earned a technical submission win over Ray Savant in July for his first official win since June 2007.

I am pretty excited today because my very first post Create Simple Dropdown Menu Using jQuery has been approved on famous instantshift.com. In a matter of few hours, my post was tweeted and socialized/bookmarked on social/bookmarking networks with good numbers and still increasing, good feedback coming from all around !
In fact, I really like this idea of writing articles for various famous sites. It boosts and markets you or your company tremendously. Other than that, they also pay you for your articles, the payment varies on popularity and quality of the article and content. My first article was approved with fairly good amount I believe. I am all set to writing articles for those famous sites related to my expertise that is PHP, ASP 3.0, jQuery, CSS, HTML, Ajax, Javascript and more.
If you have expertise in web design or web development field and possess good writing skills, give yourself a go ! It is really worth of it, there are a lot of benefits in writing articles for such famous sites.
Happy Blogging !

The American Legion – October 16, 2013
The current political climate in Washington has given new purpose to National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger's position as leader of the nation's largest veterans organization.
Dellinger expressed his frustrations over the recent government shutdown to hundreds assembled for a press conference at the Indiana War Memorial in Indianapolis on Tuesday, saying that it is inexcusable that Congress' failure to pass a budget has negatively impacted veterans and their families. He stuck to a similar script in his address to Wednesday's morning session of the 2013 Fall Meetings, telling the National Executive Committeemen and various Legionnaires present that he will continue to speak about the adverse effects of the government shutdown at any chance he gets.
"Politics has replaced patriotism," Dellinger said. "Defending America is a constitutional responsibility that should be job one for any political office holder. And you cannot defend America without supporting the good people who have sworn an oath to do it. This is even more essential in a country with an all-volunteer force."
Particularly, Dellinger expressed frustration about the prospects of millions of veterans not receiving benefits or GI Bill compensation should a budget not get passed by Nov. 1. Additionally, the government shutdown makes us more vulnerable as a nation to terrorist threats and also has reversed progress that VA has made on the mounting backlog of benefits claims filed, he said.
"The government is repeatedly breaking President Lincoln's promise to 'care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and orphan,'" Dellinger said.
Dellinger referenced the Military Death Benefit bill that Congress recently passed and President Obama ultimately signed as an example of how the two governmental branches are capable of accomplishing something when they both decide that they want it done.
Still, he expressed concern that the situation could get worse if further compromises aren't reached.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this ride is going to get much rougher if they don't reach an agreement very soon," he said.
The shutdown and looming deadline of Nov. 1 only magnifies the Legion's role as an advocate for veterans and national security, Dellinger said.
"If this past month has not proven the importance of membership in The American Legion nothing will," Dellinger said. "Our elected officials in Washington have not done their jobs. And while we still do not know for certain how long this shutdown will last, it will take strong and LARGE organizations like The American Legion to constantly remind our lawmakers, the president and the American people about the disproportionate impact that these political games are having on veterans and our national security."

The goal concerning the past; get over it! Work through the first 18 years of life! Find out what happened and what went wrong, that I move through it and beyond!
This type of work must be rehashed millions of times until the real story starts to appear through the pain a denial!
So here is the story!
Im in the hands of fakes but I don't know it!
I will be used! But I don't know this; and I do not understand it while it's going on!
Later, I will be play acted! Meaning, Im part of a bigger lie created by these sociopaths that are running the house hold!
Ive recently come to the conclusion; I was a foster child! From the beginning! These people were unsafe to be around! I did not know this when a small child! Later I will realize this!
Im not being taken care of and I don't know it!
The father figure in this story is a fake! His life is a complete lie! But he does not care! The children in this story, are the real losers! Meaning, they are the ones that will get hurt by these criminals!
I was falsely brought up to believe something that wasn't real!
I had no stability; but did not know this!
I will be thrown away ate age 10!
My mother or father will turn on me as soon as they split up!
I realize these people are strangers and sociopaths!
Finally at the age of 16 I realize something is wrong! I am not wanted or loved by these people, but I have no name for them! Later, through recovery I will assign the name sociopath to them; psychopath appropriately!
My younger childhood is what I must grieve and let go of; it was false or faked! Meaning, I was rented at a rental center by these people, and given back after the party was over! Meaning, I was being used by the people invoked in this family! I was not apart of it!
No one is prepared to accept that they come from a broken sociopathic situation of scumbags! I was not prepared for it! Im trying to come to grips with it, that I move on!
Im trying to come out of dissociating over it! And facing what happened and move on to the next phase of my life!
I realized later that I was a foster child! Went through the same thing, ended up with the same mental problems and social problems!
So, the early part of my life was spent in a false dilution! And I was around false people! I did not know they were false people! Some of them were my friends; what I thought were my friends! They were not!
I was in an unfortunate situation created by the sociopaths! They bought a house in an upper or regular middle class neighborhood! But would not be staying long! I did not know this! I made friends and had a life! Then they pulled the rug out on all of us and moved away! They went their separate ways and acted like they had never met us; me!
Within a spit second, I had no mother or father! It was all a sadistic game for them! They played sadistic games with us children!
Looking back; its laughable now! Its serious but laughable! I have the answer now! They were psychopaths playing sadistic games with us! They did not care! Children mean nothing to these animals! ! ###$ them! Now I know! There was no connection! They were playing games with strangers; us! I was just a stranger they could use and get away with!
Now I know what they are! At the time it was horrible! I did not understand that I should have never been around them ever;
I was used in different ways! I went skiing with them! But they did not care about me! I was just along for the ride, but did not know I was being used! They did not take children with them to teach the children! It was all a lie! All of it! Its very sickening because they really played the parts out well!
I have lots of memories that appear to be safe or make me believe I was safe! I was not safe; never! I was being used the whole time period! All of these memories must go!
From the day I was born; all of those memories must change and the people I was forced to associated with!
I ended up in different neighborhoods with different relatives at different times! I must look back and see these memories for the true horror they were; but they were milked and covered up color and opportunity! In reality, their was no opportunity for me! It was a lie! I had nothing! Even the house I lived in was not mine! Meaning; the house owners owned it! Not me! They did not care who I was! And they never created this situation to help me survive! They bought a house because they felt like it; and soon, they would sell that house out from underneath me and wreck my life!
Psychopaths do not necessarily think about me enough to wreck my life! The problem is, they only think about themselves! They will sell the house and move away! They don't care who gets destroyed in the process! They are not connected to anyone!
I remember the first girl I loved! it was not real! I moved over to a new city to live again with one of the sociopaths! she was actually a psychopath! She had a nice house! and lived in a middle class neighborhood! up the street lived a girl I met! her parents were rich! I met her and I loved her until I realized something was dreadfully wrong!
I was attempting as a teenager to heal or find my way! The girl I met was planning her college entry within a few years to an ivy league school! I did not know I was in the wrong class of people! I should have never been up their! meaning, up the street to her house! I was no match for her future! When I realized this, I simply gave up and left! and went away heartbroken! This was not the first time I was chased of or thrown out because of economic realities!
I had no ability to function! I needed to be somewhere where I was loved! Being at a rich girls house was not love! I was at the wrong place! this girl thought I was full of money and a future because I lived in her neighborhood! I was simply living at the sociopaths house! I had nothing and no future! I had no way of knowing how to make money! my life was ruined! I just wanted love!
When I visited that girl up the street! she was inviting because she thought I was made of upper class money! so, I was a good catch; I lived in the neighborhood! In reality, I was in the wrong neighborhood!
I did not have a neighborhood! I was a troubled person being abused and thrown away; thats who I was!
So, it was doomed from the start to ever meet that girl up the street! I finally had to leave the area and go back to the place I came from!
and more psychological brutality will occur, as I attempt to live in a new house with strangers who never liked me or cared!
I live with this upper middle class family; they treat me like dirt! like Im not alive ! sub human being!
and I realize, I never really came from any neighborhood!

Each piece is stonewashed to give you the softest feel, the bed sheets will continue to soften over time.
Organic tones in our natural linen bedding collection create the perfect balance for any bedroom, a subtle yet distinctive shade. This Linen bedding offers an attractive, naturally crumpled texture, they will make your room look amazing. The color is beautifully saturated which looks even better wash after wash.
Linen is the best fabric for finicky sleepers who are affected by temperature. By regulating the heat exchanged between the skin and air, bed linen will keep you perfectly comfortable whether you're sleeping in a hot room during the summer or a chilly home in the winter nights. The weave of the sheet allows for better airflow that contributes to higher-quality sleep. Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant, which has the natural properties of thermoregulation and moisture-wicking.
Linen sheets are a great option for individuals with sensitive skin and allergies. Firstly, it helps to relieve stress by providing a comfortable, healthy microclimate to rest in. Since linen is naturally plant-derived, the process of production typically avoids the inclusion of allergens. It is considered to be one of the "purest" fabrics available on the market and boasts antibacterial properties as well.
Strong, Durable, and Long-Lasting
Linen is one of the strongest materials used in bedding products. It is twice as strong cotton and will last you several decades in excellent condition, even with regular use. Keep in mind, however, that this strength can only be maintained with proper care!

Our linen bedding are woven in the oldest, family-run linen mill in Portugal.

Nearly all parts of the flax plant are used in making linen, reducing the environmental footprint left by manufacturing. The plant also qualifies as a renewable resource and is processed very minimally. Lastly, linen is 100% biodegradable since it is completely plant-derived.
