Does anybody other than Paulie Walnuts and #24 still want to continue with the Lists?
The Road to Riches Is Called K Street
Lobbying Firms Hire More, Pay More, Charge More to Influence Government

To the great growth industries of America such as health care and home building add one more: influence peddling.
The number of registered lobbyists in Washington has more than doubled since 2000 to more than 34,750 while the amount that lobbyists charge their new clients has increased by as much as 100 percent. Only a few other businesses have enjoyed greater prosperity in an otherwise fitful economy.
All My Love (Jones/Plant) Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light To chase a feather in the wind Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight There moves a thread that has no end. For many hours and days that pass ever soon the tides have caused the flame to dim At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom Is this to end or just begin? * Chorus: All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you. (repeat) The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again One voice is clear above the din Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain For me, the cloth once more to spin Chorus Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time his is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind Chorus
Achilles Last Stand (Page/Plant) It was an April morning when they told us we should go As I turn to you, you smiled at me How could we say no? With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know Below the streets that steam and hiss, The devil's in his hole Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen. Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth From the earth... I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (X2) Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
Midnight Snacks
Are you a night owl who sometimes gets the midnight munchies? It's okay to add a late night snack to your meal plan, particularly during Phase 1 of the diet when you're still getting your hunger and cravings under control. Frequent snacking can help stabilize your sugar and insulin levels, according to Dr. Agatston. Here are some tasty late-night snack ideas:
Celery sticks with hummus or peanut butter
Left-over meat from supper
Raw veggies
Nuts like almonds, peanuts, or pistachios
Cottage cheese with salsa or chopped cucumber
