There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How to hide within its shadows. When to hunt. He roamed from town to town, city to city, choosing his prey for their beauty and innocence. His cruelties were infinite, his humanity long since forfeit. But still... he had not yet discovered how to make his special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death. This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might do to ensure that he does not visit us.

"A story for dark nights and cocoa"
This is a typical Koontz book and I find them all a very good listening experience. This story did not hold many surprises for me as I could see where it would go but, despite the horror story itself, which was creepy, I did find it a relaxing listen and worth the effort.
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
"I wanted to mow the neighbors yard"
The book is an hour and a half long and it takes about an hour to mow my yard. It made me want to go mow the neighbor's yard, instead I went inside, sat on the couch, drank a beer and finished it.
If you have read any of Koontz, with the exception of the Odd series, then this is exactly what you would expect from him. If you have not read Koontz, get out from under that rock and start here.
This is a bitter-sweet story, with a great main character who is a burn victim. I will not tell you how he got burned or how he deals with it, as that is a big part of the story. Just let me say I like how Koontz deals with it.
My favorite Dean Koontz books are: The Bad Place, Lightning, The Frankenstein series, Forever Odd, Phantoms, Dragon Tears, By the Light of the Moon and the very quirky book "Life Expectancy".
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Not bad for a short story"
If I had only listened to the story and done nothing else I wouldn't say this was time well spent because it wasn't a story that had much to say. But the story is moderately entertaining and a decent distraction while doing mundane chores.
I have read other Dean Koontz books and plan to read more. He wasn't as good in short story as the novels I've read but this one story didn't really change my mind about Dean Koontz either way. Don't base your sole opinion of the author on this story.
Steven Weber did a pretty good
This is a decent story for a short distraction but not as good as a Dean Koontz novel.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Nice very short Koontz"
This is a nice, but very short, Koontz. The characters are good if truncated. It ends very quickly with a moral that, although reasonable, was not really well supported by the story. The language is nice and blends darkness and light well. I really like Koontz so this was worth it to me. It was worth the sale price, but silly me I used a whole credit on it.
"Good Story"
I thought this was a great story. Kept me interested the whole time and didn't fall short of what I expected.
"good story, didn't want it to end"
very good, compelling story
yes, kept wondering where the old man would come back
old man
no, but did make me think
"Different, I was dissappointed book was to short."
I loved the fact that Howie had enough brains to figure out what was going on early in the game.
I hated that I spent my credit on a book that was so short. As Howie got older, it got a little lost.
Probably not, I was a little disappointed with it.
Didn't really have one this time around
Not really, just don't let your kids talk to strangers.
Dean could have done a little better on this one.
"Dean Koontz never fails to write an excellant book"
#1 on audio on my kindle is awesome
#2 dean Koontz is my favorite author
#3 Great story as usual
Dean Koontz always keeps you interested thru the whole book,
From page 1 till finished wanted to listen till the end
Steve is one of the better performers
This short story continues on a story from a novel. It was an interesting take on how the author continues on a story from another story. Enlarges a minor character from a novel to a main character in a short story. I always wondered what happened to the kid who started Blackwell into another killing spree from single women to families, unwittingly, of course.
Willy Wonka of it
"Typical Koontz of late"
I'd say make it a bit longer, but really, what's the point? It's a short story that doesn't seem to say much (while saying a lot), and wouldn't be any better in novel form.
Not likely. Some of his earlier stuff I liked, nowadays it's like he gets an idea in his head, writes it and has no idea where to take it so just trails off and leaves us with a slapped-together finale.
None really.
I don't. Everything was wrapped up here, and though you could perhaps extend the tale, there's no real use. There's no real mystery or suspense here to draw on. It's literally a fairly dry telling of a series of events.
I wish I could go back to the old Koontz where things were a bit odd but "clicked" in the end. Now it's just weird for the sake of being weird, with no real "world" or story behind it. I'll pop back in in another year or so to see if things have improved with him.

Republican? What's in a name after all? Everything!Submitted by fyi2day on Sat, 09/01/2012 - 02:49
Republican? What's in a name after all? Everything!
Those including some of our most prominent, who in the face of all the goings-on of late are still considering support for a Mitt Romney 2012 ticket should take a moment of pause and reflect on the following;
The very historical foundation of our party's name is what the Liberty Movement has always represented, republicanism. It is important before you choose to support Romney or leave the party altogether that you consider who really possesses the soul of the Republican Party us or the federalists that currently own our brand? Romney can not be defined as a republican by any real definition.
Yes, the Republican Party itself is ours and always has been.
We have simply, like the Democrats, let the Federalists grab the controls some years back... Hence the striking similarities we see today in Obama and Romney and the growing convergence of policy on all but a few divisive social issues.
We have shown with the Ron Paul movement, using the internet and accelerating smart phone technology that we as citizen journalist can educate each other and those who have yet to find the raw information that can compete with the long monopolized media.
This true revolution has helped many already to take control of their own realities and hence their political and civic lives. There are many more finding this power to contribute to their own destiny each day. It is now excitingly exponential in reach as we exceed our 10% tipping point!
A freedom of information exchange created by the internet has inspired a break from the historical paradigm unseen in human history. This technological window in time has provided a gap in the oligarch's and their federalist supporter's near 200 year stranglehold on information dissemination that we dare not loose.
Read your history and you will find that the decline of the federalists' was a result of their ideas of nationalistic central control and banking being rejected by Jefferson, the early Republican party, and the vast majority of Americans, simply caused them to use their resources to seek other means of influence on and control of the direction of the new country.
Behind the scenes in both major modern American political parties, the federalists still today represent the wealthy self interested at the expense of liberty and freedom. Where traditional republicanism supports wealth generation and property rights for all under the liberty and freedom of a constitutional republic, these Federalist are bereft of any governing principle other than self interest unfettered.
Less of a party and more of what we would call a special interest or lobby, the Federalists of today for all intents and purposes have seized control of the political debate, leadership, and most importantly the funding of both major parties nearly completely while continuing to further the interest, power, and isolation from scrutiny of their central bank the Federal Reserve. For all purposes but occasional false rhetoric for the masses, Jefferson has been firmly expelled from both the Republican and Democrat parties by the same. In a shrinking World, it is not hard to notice the transition with this group from Federalist to Globalist in recent decades.
Over generations centralizing control of information distribution has enabled this result. During the 19th , 20th and early 21st centuries, from what went down the first railroads and telegraphs to early newspaper chains, the creation of the Associated Press (AP) and culminating with the overwhelming challenge to liberty of television and radio mega network consolidation, the shared interest of the federalists furthered their influence on the American populace and the Republican and Democrat parties. How does Mitt fit?
Yes the federalists and their globalist offspring have successfully co-opted the two party system for the last couple of hundred years but that is no reason to run away now as the information age offers a leveling field for liberating them. We need to continue to retake the wheel of the party machines. Maybe we should even reclaim the name Democratic-Republicans as well and invite our Jeffersonian brothers and sisters in from the co-opt Democrat party as well. This would leave the federalists with the socialists. Wouldn't that be poetic justice?
So I hope this has helped you to choose as I have to write in Ron Paul in November and continue the fight to take back the Republican Party at every level!
This is my first post after many years of following and a few months of membership so please be kind on your comments. Feel free to re-post or reuse as you wish.
Cheers, with liberty for all!!!

Ozone in Drinking Water
When ozone is applied, as a gas, for drinking water treatment, it is done primarily because of its excellent oxidative strength. This powerful oxidation potential allows ozone to be effective in the reduction or elimination of color, after taste and odor, all of which may be fundamental problems associated with a specific water supply. More importantly, ozone will effectively destroy bacteria and inactivate viruses more rapidly than any other disinfectant chemical.
Ozone is also very effective in oxidizing heavy metals. Iron and manganese can be reduced to very low, safe levels in water supplies through ozone oxidation. When properly applied at the start of a water treatment process, ozone will not lead to the formation of halogenated compounds such as Trihalomethanes (THM's) which are formed when chlorine is added to the raw water.
The Main Effects of Ozonisation of Drinking Water
Iron and Manganese Removal
: - The standard oxidation-reduction potential and reaction rate of ozone is such that it can readily oxidize iron and manganese present in the raw water and in water with low organic content.
While Iron and Manganese don't pose health problems, but water contaminated by iron and manganese can stain water fixtures and clothing that is washed with this water. Chlorine can also be used for oxidation of iron and manganese, but significantly more chlorine is required versus ozone. This is due to the fact that ozone has an oxidation potential 150 times greater than chlorine. The use of chlorine can also result in the formation of THM's if organic material is present in the water.
Ozone oxidizes Iron from Fe (II) to Fe (III). Fe (III) hydrolyzes to Fe (OH3) which precipitates to a solid form which can be filtered. The oxidation reaction requires 0.43 mg of ozone per mg of Fe (II). Excess ozone can be used without negative effect. Fe oxidizes in the pH range of 6-9. Ozone oxidizes Mn (II) to MnO2 (Mn IV) which is insoluble and can be filtered out of water. The oxidation reaction requires 0.88 mg of ozone per mg of Mn (II). Excess ozone beyond this ratio will form soluble Mn (VII), permanganate. If oxidizable organic material is present in the water and there is sufficient contact time, permanganate will be reduced back to MnO2 (Mn IV). Manganese oxidation is most effective around a pH of 8. In general, when organic materials are present in water, more ozone will be required than the amount shown above since ozone will also oxidize these materials.
Color Removal
: - Water appears colored when visible radiation is absorbed by dissolved materials or when light is reflected by suspended solids. Colored water is basically found at dye houses, textile concerns, food and beverage processors, slaughter houses and other industrial plants. Many industries have already started using ozone, which is a more powerful and a safer substitute than chlorine for color removal.
The best results are achieved when water has been treated to lower BOD, COD and suspended solids (SS) values so that the ozone reaction is primarily for color removal. Wastewater is Ozonated after it exists from chemical or/and biological pretreatment at a dosage from 50 mg/lit to 150 mg/lit. At these levels, color can be reduced by 90 to 98%. The dosage simultaneously reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD) by about 45%. (Small increases of BOD, 5 to 9%, may occur.)
Color removal efficiency depends on the ozone dosage, the feed's color values, the wastewater type and temperature and water characteristics. Temperature less than 30oC produce the optimum conditions for ozone solubility. Ozone installations for this application represent a significant capital cost, but offer lower operating expense than conventional treatment using chemical coagulants. In addition to the cost of chemical, the coagulant process generates sludge that requires disposal and further expenditure. Generally, the investment for an ozone installation can be paid back in 3 to 5 years, depending upon the size and other specifications.
Taste and Odor Removal
: - Odor and taste in drinking water can be due to have several reasons. Odor and taste forming compounds can be present in raw water, but they can also be formed during water treatment. These compounds may derive from the decomposition of plant matter, but normally they are a result of the activity of living organisms present in the water. Inorganic compounds such as iron, copper and zinc can also generate some taste. Another possibility is that the chemical oxidation (chlorine treatment) leads to unpleasant taste and odor.
Odor and taste forming compounds are often very resistant. This causes elimination to be a very intensive process. For the elimination of taste and odor, several processes can be appropriate such as oxidation, aeration, granular active carbon (GAC) filtration or sand filtration. Usually, a combination of these techniques is applied.
Ozone can oxidize compounds in a range of 20-90% (dependent on the type of compound). Ozone is more effective for the oxidation of unsaturated compounds. As was the case for the oxidation of pesticides, ozone combined with hydrogen peroxide (AOP Process) is more effective than ozone alone. Geosmin and 2-methyllisoborneol (MIB) are examples of resistant odorous compounds, which are often present in the water. These are produced by algae and have low odor and taste threshold. Nevertheless, ozone removes these compounds very effectively.Generally, the most effective way to remove taste and odor components appears to be a combination of pre-oxidation and filtration, but ozone with sand filtration and GAC filtration is the most efficient combination (upto 92% removal).
Removal of Organic and Inorganic Matter
: - All water resources contain natural organic matters (NOM). Concentrations (usually measured as dissolved organic carbon, DOC) differ from 0.2 to more than 10 mg. NOM creates direct problems, such as odor and taste in water, but also indirect problems such as organic disinfection byproduct formation, support of bacterial regrowth in the distribution system, etc. To produce pure drinking water, the removal of NOM is a prior task in modern water treatment.
Ozone, like any other oxidant, seldom achieves a complete mineralization of NOM. Organic matter is partly oxidized and becoming more easily biodegradable. This result in a higher amount of BDOC (Biodegradable DOC), As a result ozone improves the removal process of NOM by a subsequent filter, when it is used as a pre-oxidant. In a research, the effect of ozone in combination with a biological filter is described. The combined treatment resulted in a reduction of DOC by 40-60%. The removal is even greater when ozone is used in combination with a coagulant. This is because ozone can enhance the coagulation process. The combination coagulation-ozone-bio filtration results in a DOC reduction by 64%. When only bio filtration was applied, the reduction rate was only 13%. The optimal concentration to remove organic matter by ozone was at an ozone dose of O3/DOC = 1 mg/mg.
Most inorganic matters can be eliminated by ozone quite fast. After Ozonation, bio filtration is also required for inorganic matter. Namely, oxidation forms unsoluble compounds that need to be removed during the next water purification stage.
Removal of Disinfection By-Products
: - Disinfection byproducts (DBP) are mainly formed during the reaction between organic material and a disinfectant. The reaction of chlorine with matter can lead to the formation of chlorinated organic DBP's, such as Trihalomethanes (THM). Ozone can also react with organic matter and form DBP's. These are mainly organic disinfection byproducts, such as aldehydes and ketones, which can be easily degraded in a bio filter (90-100%). Generally, this organic ozone DBP's do not form risk of violation of drinking water standards, when ozone is used as a pre-oxidant.
To reduce the amount of DBP's at a conventional disinfection system (disinfection by chlorine) it is important that potential to form DBP's remains low. This is often expressed as DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The potential to form DBP's can be reduced by the removal of (most of the) NOM, for example by pre-oxidation with ozone (ozone-filtration). This combination can lower the DBPFP by 70-80% when chlorine is used as a final disinfectant. This concerns the DBPFP for THM's, HAA (haloacetic acids) and chloral hydrate.
Ozone is a more effective disinfectant than chlorine, chloramines and even chlorine dioxide. An ozone dose of 0.4 mg for 4 minutes is usually effective for pre-tested water. Several studies proved that ozone, unlike chlorine products, can deactivate resistant micro-organisms.
Removal of Pesticides
: - Micro-pollutants such as pesticides may occur in surface water, but also increasingly in groundwater. Drinking water standards for pesticides in the European Union are strict.
Several surveys show that ozone can be very effective for the oxidation of several pesticides. It is proved that three barriers (storage-ozonation-granular active carbon filter) are effective and safe enough for the removal of pesticides. From 23 tested pesticides, 90% were degraded sufficiently (80% degradation). For highly resistant pesticides, a higher dosage of ozone is advised, or ozone combined with hydrogen peroxide.

Global warming talk heats up, revisits carbon tax
WASHINGTON — Climate change is suddenly a hot topic again. The issue is resurfacing in talks about a once radical idea: a possible carbon tax.
On Tuesday, a conservative think tank held discussions about it while a more liberal think tank released a paper on it. And the Congressional Budget Office issued a 19-page report on the different ways to make a carbon tax less burdensome on lower income people.

Alton Brown Talks The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefsby Maria Russo in Food Network Chef, Shows, October 30th, 2011
The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs kicks off on Sunday night, and we chatted with host Alton Brown about the fourth season of this all-star culinary competition.
After four years of hosting The Next Iron Chef and 10 on Iron Chef America, Alton has witnessed hundreds of culinary battles, experienced a myriad of secret ingredients and tasted thousands of gourmet plates. We asked him about the difference between a typical Iron Chef battle and that between Super Chefs. He explained, "It's professional, but there's the added tension of having a lot to lose. Every one of those chefs doesn't need to prove anything, but losing still really kind of sucks. There's a lot of tension there because of that."
Of the rivalry between the 10 Super-Chefs, Alton assured us that the battles would be aggressive, but never malicious. "You're never going to see any backstabbing or cattiness; they don't do that," he noted. We would expect nothing less from such professionals as Robert Irvine, Alex Guarnaschelli, Anne Burrell and Michael Chiarello, among others, as they are friends and colleagues outside of the competition, as well.
Always one to watch from the sidelines of the battles and observe chefs' every chop, sauté and presentation, Alton offered what he thinks is the most common mistake made in Kitchen Stadium: "Time management. The back end of the clock running away with them. That's the number one thing. The last five minutes disappear like vapor. Poof. They're gone." Alton noted that most chefs are able to succeed in plating five dishes within the allotted 60 minutes, though they may not do so "with the level of finesse that they want."
Though Alton has hosted a range of battles including crawfish, hot dog and seaweed, he says there's one that has yet to be challenged that he would enjoy experiencing. "I'd love to see a broccoli battle where the judges are all kids. That's the one that I really want, but I think that it makes the Iron Chefs too afraid. They don't know if they can deal with that, because kids are honest; they don't care who you are," he says. Something tells me that Iron Chef Bobby Flay could make a mean broccoli burger that even children would devour.
Find out whose cuisine will reign supreme on The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs on Sunday, October 30, at 9pm/8c.

2000 Ford Focus Question: how much is the typical labor on replacing a ford focus motor?
Answer #1Charmaine May 02, 2012, 20:58Enthusiast
Is your mechanic pricing out a new engine, a rebuilt engine or a used engine? The price will vary drastically between the three.
Replymaggiec, May 03, 2012, 13:49Rookie
a rebuilt engine.
ReplyCharmaine, May 03, 2012, 20:57Enthusiast
If it is rebuilt & that includes labor & parts then it isn't a bad deal.

The bigger question is if the rest of a twelve year old economy car merits an investment like that.Usually not.
ReplyCharmaine, May 04, 2012, 07:07Enthusiast
I would have to agree. Of course people can't always afford to buy new cars so they have to fix what they have. If you have a really good mechanic they'll take care of you by keeping you informed about the reality of your vehicle because being a shop owner isn't just about your bottom line, it's also about helping people out (imo).

Amenities & services
AS AN ALTERNATIVE to say, Africa, the Algarve, Majorca or Tuscany, MAURITIUS (Maurice) is now generally regarded as one of the BEST AREAS for TRAVEL and TOURISM in the WORLD. The WESTERN COAST in particular, offers white, sandy, tropical beaches flanked by beautiful coral lagoons, spectacular volcanic mountain scenery, tropical fauna and flora and an all-year-round sunny climate (annual temperatures varying from about 26 - 30 degrees C.) making this area an ideal choice for your holiday of a lifetime!
JUST IMAGINE CHILLING OUT ON THE BEACH or under the filao trees…or trying water sports, banana boat rides, scuba diving (training and qualifications available), snorkelling, fishing, boating, walking, horse riding, tennis, golf, enjoying the night life and great hospitality…barbeques and sega dancing on the beach, awesome extinct volcanic mountains, sugar cane plantations, colonial history, hot sunny days…the list seems endless and you'll want to come back for more!
MANY EXCELLENT self catering apartments for rent or vacation rentals now offer a great alternative to the more expensive hotel resorts on the island. They offer BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY than best hotel deals in Mauritius, budget or cheap hotels, beach accommodation rentals or holiday homes in the form of fully furnished apartments or villas at a fraction of the cost. With relatively lower rental rates they have opened the door to more visitors being able to stay and benefit the island's economy.
The BUS SERVICE is Government-subsidised and a very low-cost way of travelling around but not very comfortable! Or if you are more interested in the HISTORY and CULTURE OF MAURITIUS you can explore the island's turbulent colonial past and diversity of people. You will see dramatic rolling landscapes of SUGAR CANE rising to meet the awe-inspiring mountains in the BLACK RIVER GORGE, declared a NATIONAL PARK in 1997 as LE MORNE on the coast, visible from many miles is a poignant reminder of the precarious sanctuary of runaway slaves...Africa, mauritius, indian ocean islands,
Please note: the advertised accommodation prices are also stated as being from per person per night based on maximum occupancy and vary according to travel dates, season and group size (lower prices per person for more people in your group and according to time of year.)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

EAU CLAIRE -- "It's a sharing process. We learn from them and they learn from us," graduate student Melissa Kramer said of working at the Center for Communication Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
The Center for Communication Disorders gives communication disorders majors and graduate students the opportunity to use their knowledge in a professional setting, and it provides an economical service to the Chippewa Valley, said Alan Gallaher, director of clinical programs.
"The clinic provides a practical teaching experience for the students, and it serves the entire Chippewa Valley," Gallaher said. "For the students to learn how to do speech and language therapy, they need actual clients to work with. We have a wide range of clients."
Gallaher said all undergraduate students are required to do therapy in the clinic before graduation, and graduate students must accumulate a certain number of hours in the clinic before they can become accredited therapists.
On the average, the clinic treats about 90 patients on a regular basis throughout each semester and evaluates another 50 patients, he said.
"We help so many different kinds of people here," Gallaher said. "Whether it be pre-school age children or elderly people who come to us in wheelchairs, we try to help them the best way we can."
Children who come to the clinic may have lisps, stuttering problems or delayed speech and language problems, while adults may seek treatment for hearing loss, voice problems or strokes, Gallaher said.
The clinic is free for university students, staff, faculty and their families, he said. Many international students take advantage of the clinic to help with their native accents, while professors may come in for hearing loss consultation, he said.
At any time there is between 35 and 50 students working in the clinic trying to gain the knowledge they need to enter the professional, post-university world, he said.
Many community members come to the clinic because of economics, Gallaher said. "We charge $125 for a semester, which averages out to be about $5 a session," Gallaher said. "That is a big plus for a lot of families."
Tom Sather, a UW-Eau Claire graduate student, said the learning at the clinic is a two-way street. "It really is a two-way thing because we benefit from them and, from a client's perspective, we are very affordable," Sather said.
Another graduate student who is trying to reach her required 350 clinical hours, Joanne Herbenson, said the biggest plus for the students who work at the clinic is the various types of patients they are exposed to.
"We get a variety of clients which, in turn, gives us a variety of different experiences we will be able to take with us," Herbenson said.
The clinic is an essential part of the university's communication disorders program, Gallaher said. "It's an integral part of training for our communication disorder majors," he said. "Also, we really get to treat many people's speech and language problems for a reasonable cost."

Right-wing media outlets manufactured phony outrage over President Obama's recent remark on ESPN Radio that he usually watches SportsCenter while working out in the morning. In 2007, President Bush similarly admitted to watching ESPN while working.
Fox News personalities labeled President Obama's address during the United Nations General Assembly a continuation of his "apology tour," a repeatedly debunked right-wing narrative started during Obama's first year in office.
For two years, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has been peddling the theory that the IRS intentionally leaked its donor list to a gay rights organization as part of an Obama administration conspiracy. Two separate investigations and a ruling by a Reagan-appointed judge have debunked that theory. But right-wing media, which have widely touted NOM's initial accusations, have largely ignored or denied the conspiracy theory's demise.
In the spring of 2012, an IRS employee inadvertently leaked an unredacted list of NOM's donors in response to a public records request. The pro-equality group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) got its hands on the list, highlighting past contributions to NOM by prominent conservatives like then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Noting that key HRC officials were prominent supporters of President Obama's re-election campaign, NOM alleged a conspiracy between the organization and the Obama administration aimed at embarrassing NOM and its supporters.
In April 2012, NOM filed a formal letter of complaint to the IRS. Conservative outlets like The Daily Caller and The Weekly Standard touted the complaint, focusing particularly on the revelation that Romney was one of the group's donors. For most of the next year, however, media interest in the story was scant.
That changed in the spring of 2013. In May, U.S. Attorney General Eric holder ordered the FBI to begin a criminal probe into allegations that the agency had targeted tax-exempt conservative political groups. While the IRS actually scrutinized progressive groups more extensively than conservative ones, the IRS "scandal" became a rallying cry for right-wing media. The controversy also meant newfound interest in NOM's allegations against the agency.
Mainstream and conservative media outlets were quick to pick up on NOM's call for an investigation into the IRS's activities.
From Politico:
The Wall Street Journal 's James Taranto spotlighted NOM's claims in a column on the IRS controversy, asking "How pervasive is the Obama IRS scandal?":
There's a stark difference in the way Fox News and Fox News Latino covered reports of hundreds of migrant children crossing the U.S. border to flee violence in Central America.
Hundreds of migrant children crossing the U.S. border to flee violence in Central America are being held in a makeshift shelter in southern Arizona. The New York Times reported that federal officials predict at least 60,000 unaccompanied minors will attempt to cross into the U.S. by the end of this fiscal year.
In Nogales, Arizona, the Department of Homeland Security made available a warehouse to house thousands of children, but according to local media outlets, it has not been without problems. CBS Houston reported that some of the children have complained to the consul of Honduras that the food provided by the shelter is making them sick.
Fox News Latino reported on the "alarming conditions" in which the "undocumented immigrants" were being held, describing images of the shelters as "shocking" and "overcrowded," and quoting Arizona Governor Jan Brewer condemning the conditions as "dangerous and unconscionable":
Fox News brushed aside the value of Environmental Protection Agency research grants for clean cooking and heating technologies, saying that the dangerous indoor pollution from dirty stoves is only "a mere contribution" to 4.3 million deaths, and fearmongered that the EPA would soon come after American stoves. However, even Fox News' "favorite" environmental pundit has said that the fact that millions are dying from dirty cooking stoves -- more deaths than from AIDS and malaria combined -- is an "immediate problem."
Conservative media ran dishonest headlines suggesting that the Obama administration is attempting to reduce minority births when it is actually trying to reduce teenage pregnancies.
In an April 16 post, the Daily Caller selectively pulled language from a CDC program in order to suggest that the Obama administration was trying to reduce births among minorities. In a post with the headline "Obama program aims to reduce 'births' among blacks, Latinos," the Daily Caller claimed that "President Barack Obama is attempting to lower the rate of 'births' - and separately pregnancies - among blacks and Latinos."
Fox Nation used the same misleading language while hyping the Daily Caller's post, posting an excerpt under the headline "Obama Program Aims To Reduce 'Births' Among Blacks, Latinos":
Both headlines, and the Daily Caller's description, are incredibly dishonest. The Obama administration is not trying to reduce minority births, but the rate of teen pregnancies in minority communities. In fact, the CDC material that the Daily Caller links to is titled "Teen Pregnancy Prevention 2010-2015." The CDC page makes it clear that the program is intended to reduce the rate of pregnancy among minorities between the ages of 15 and 19:
The purpose of this program is to demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative, multicomponent, communitywide initiatives in reducing rates of teen pregnancy and births in communities with the highest rates, with a focus on reaching African American and Latino/Hispanic youth aged 15-19 years. A communitywide model is an intervention implemented in defined communities (specified geographic area) applying a common approach with different strategies. Communitywide approaches will be tailored to the specified community, and will include broad-based strategies that reach a majority of youth in the community (i.e., through communication strategies and media campaigns); and intensive strategies reaching youth most in need of prevention programming (i.e., through implementation of evidence-based programs and improved links to services).
The Daily Caller also attacked the CDC by manufacturing outrage over the fact that the organization does not differentiate between "births" and "pregnancies." But using both terms when discussing teen pregnancy is a common practice widely used across their own literature outside of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative in order to analyze and discuss teen pregnancy rates and outcomes, as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' literature on teen pregnancy.
Right-wing media outlets are trying to gin up outrage over a change in how the U.S. Census Bureau reports insurance status, claiming the agency is making an adjustment to deliberately hide the effects of the Affordable Care Act. But the change will still measure the impact of the ACA's first year, and the new system will provide better tools for tracking insurance status.
In the five years since President Obama's health care reform plan -- which became the Affordable Care Act (ACA) -- was first introduced, the right-wing media has waged a continuous campaign to attack the law through misinformation, deception, and outright lies.
Five years ago, Fox News expanded its online presence with "Fox Nation." Early promos for the site told viewers that it's "time to say 'no' to biased media and 'yes' to fair play and free speech," while promising that Fox fans had finally found "a place to call home." Similarly, the "Statement of Purpose" on the site announces that it is dedicated to "the core principles of tolerance, open debate, civil discourse, and fair and balanced coverage of the news."
But after its launch, the site quickly turned into -- in the words of former Fox News producer Joe Muto -- the "seedy underbelly of the Fox News online empire." Fox Nation has for years openly cheered Republican politicians and policies, actively organized for the tea party, smeared Democrats and progressives, engaged in blatant race-baiting on a near-daily basis, and routinely elevated nonsense from the conservative fringe.
So while Fox Nation is celebrating its fifth birthday and its self-proclaimed role as a "defender of the Constitution and the home of hot debates," Media Matters looks back at some (but nowhere near all) of the lowlights from the site's first five years.
Referring to gay people as "homosexual" is a practice that's quickly falling out of favor with major news outlets due the term's often pejorative connotation and frequent use by opponents of LGBT equality. But Fox News has yet to update its language when referring to gay and lesbian people.
On March 23, The New York Times published a piece exploring the often derogatory connotation of the term "homosexual." Writing for the Sunday Styles section, the Times' Jeremy Peters noted that experts increasingly view "homosexual" as an offensive and stigmatizing term, even if many people still see the term as relatively "innocuous" (emphasis added):
To most ears, it probably sounds inoffensive. A little outdated and clinical, perhaps, but innocuous enough: homosexual.
But that five-syllable word has never been more loaded, more deliberately used and, to the ears of many gays and lesbians, more pejorative.
" 'Homosexual' has the ring of 'colored' now, in the way your grandmother might have used that term, except that it hasn't been recuperated in the same way," said George Chauncey, a Yale professor of history and an author who studies gay and lesbian culture.
Consider the following phrases: homosexual community, homosexual activist, homosexual marriage. Substitute the word "gay" in any of those cases, and the terms suddenly become far less loaded, so that the ring of disapproval and judgment evaporates.
Some gay rights advocates have declared the term off limits. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or Glaad, has put "homosexual" on its list of offensive terms and in 2006 persuaded The Associated Press, whose stylebook is the widely used by many news organizations, to restrict use of the word.
George P. Lakoff, a professor of cognitive science and linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, has looked at the way the term is used by those who try to portray gays and lesbians as deviant. What is most telling about substituting it for gay or lesbian are the images that homosexual tends to activate in the brain, he said.
"Gay doesn't use the word sex," he said. "Lesbian doesn't use the word sex. Homosexual does."
Peters highlighted use of the term by anti-gay figures like Rush Limbaugh, whose comments on the "homosexual" NFL prospect Michael Sam and the efforts of the "homosexual lobby" to defeat Arizona's anti-gay discrimination bill smack of contempt.
Use of the term is also pervasive at Fox News - and not just from the likes of the network's hate group mouthpiece Todd Starnes, who recently warned that "Christians are trading places with homosexuals" in the military. Just as the network insists on misgendering transgender subjects, Fox also has no qualms about regularly referring to gay men and lesbians by a term many of them shun.
Fox employees from Megyn Kelly to Sarah Palin continue to use the word "homosexual" to describe gays and lesbians. Fox Supreme Court reporter and pro-discrimination champion Shannon Bream teased a forthcoming segment on "homosexual adoption":
Fox's "Medical A-Team" member and anti-LGBT pop psychologist Keith Ablow uses the term "homosexual sex" while criticizing pro-gay advertisements.
And Fox's Bill O'Reilly was recently mocked for a segment in which he attacked the Girl Scouts for "leaning left," seizing in particular on the organization's employment of a spokesman who participated "in a punk rock band with homosexual overtones":
Right-wing media outlets have seized on an anonymously sourced and highly speculative article in The Hill that dubiously proclaimed health care premiums are going to "skyrocket" under the Affordable Care Act.
In a March 19 post on The Hill's Healthwatch blog with the headline "O-care premiums to skyrocket," Elise Viebeck quoted anonymous health insurance industry officials to claim that "ObamaCare-related premiums will double in some parts of the country, countering claims recently made by the administration."
The article and its claim about rising premiums was hyped across the right-wing media. National Review Online claimed "there's only so much massaging of the truth and flat-out lying that one can do before the headlines catch up with the deceit." Hot Air's Ed Morrissey cited The Hill, writing, "ObamaCare has bent the cost curve all right, but sharply upward -- and in 2015, expect them to not just bend but absolutely 'skyrocket.'" Fox Nation highlighted the post under the headline "300%: Insurance Industry Predicts Skyrocketing ObamaCare Premiums":
Despite the certainty implied by the post's headline, the reality is far more complicated. While Viebeck chose to play up the claims made by her anonymous insurance industry sources, the article also cites health policy experts who pointed out that it's far too early to make predictions about "expected rate hikes":
Fox News falsely claimed that a plan in place since 1998 to govern control of Internet domain names means President Obama is giving away the Internet.
As Russian president Vladimir Putin flexes his military muscles by invading Ukraine in violation of multiple international treaties, right-wing pundits are fawning over the "macho" leader's strength while complaining that President Obama wears "mom jeans" and is weak on foreign policy.
In the wake of Russia's apparent invasion of the Crimean Peninsula -- an area within the sovereign territory of Ukraine -- right-wing media have renewed their crush on the Russian leader, praising his strength and equestrian skills after TIME's Michael Crowley tweeted a photo of Obama on a bicycle and Putin on a horse, saying the juxtaposition "does kind of capture the moment."
Fox Nation made the photo its "Pic of the Day" and published a "highlight reel of Putin doing macho things" like "performing karate," riding a horse and a motorcycle (though disappointingly not at the same time), and tranquilizing a tiger.
Fox host Bill O'Reilly discussed the photo on his primetime show March 3rd, saying the photo depicted the "contrasting styles" of Putin and Obama. "Putin sees himself as a macho man who's going to do pretty much what he wants," O'Reilly said. "The president sees himself as a renaissance man who wants to accommodate."
On the March 3 edition of Fox News' Hannity, contributor Sarah Palin questioned the "potency" of President Obama saying, "People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates."
Other Fox pundits have followed the same theme. Foreign policy expert KT McFarland tweeted, "Putin seizes countries, Obama threatens maybe to kick Russia out of the G-8 club. Bet Putin's sorry now! Winners write history, not whiners". Frequent Fox guest Rudy Giuliani lavished Putin with praise, saying that in contrast with Obama, Putin is "what you call a leader."
Of course, no one praising Putin's leadership mentions his penchant for repressing dissent and stymieing the freedoms of his people. But at least he can fend off a wild animal without his shirt on.
The Drudge Report and Fox Nation are promoting an outlandish report from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' website Infowars that suggests a sinister purpose behind a Department of Homeland Security procurement request for 141,160 rounds of .308 rifle ammunition.
Jones and his website have long fearmongered about the government's bulk purchase of ammunition. Conservative media outlets and Republican politicians have followed Jones' lead and run wild with the conspiracy, suggesting that the government was preparing for widespread civil unrest, attempting to limit the civilian ammo supply, or even planning to wage war against Americans. The conspiracy even inspired a Republican-led House Oversight Committee hearing and Republican-backed legislation to limit government ammunition purchases.
An inflammatory Fox Nation headline declared that "A Ton of ObamaCare Navigators Are Criminals," even though there is no clear evidence that the small number of navigators in question have been convicted of any crimes.
A January 16 post on Fox Nation attacked the Affordable Care Act's navigators, officials hired and trained to guide consumers through health care options and the application process, by posting a National Review Online article under the headline "A Ton of ObamaCare Navigators Are Criminals":
But Fox Nation's inflammatory headline is not supported by the NRO article, which only identifies a small number of navigators in New Mexico who may or may not have criminal backgrounds. After a review of public records, NRO found that 38 of the certified counselors "had a match in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database." The post went on to explain that being matched in the NCIC is not evidence that the individual committed a crime:

The food
The sleeper sofa
It looks bigger than the pictures, we had a 1 bedroom condo (south 110) with one queen bed, one bunk bed and a sofa in the livingroom were you can sleep. The kitchen is perfect for self cooking, everything you need is in there. enough room for 4 adults and one toddler. There was enough room in the bedroom to place a bed for our little girl
the wifi code was nowhere to be found, the pull out sofa didnt sleep that good but for one night is fine. There is a bathtub, but the room itself in the bathroom is very small
Roomier than a Hotel.
Spacious, clean and comfortable. Great communication from owner.
my family loved the condo - enjoyed the pool/hot tub/sauna area
office was listed in Newry when in fact it was in Bethel
Room is very close to slopes and base lodge where the events were going on. Beds were comfortable, condo was clean and well stocked with towels, extra pillows, blankets. Plenty of room for the 4 adults in our group. Ground floor, outside entrance provided easy access. Quiet, very relaxing.
very clean and set up well. Loved that it was so close to Sunday River TMC event. Heidi from your facility was wonderful and very informative. She provided excellent directions and was very accommodating. I didn't actually meet any staff while I stayed at your rental, only had contact with Heidi via phone and email. Thank you for stocking the clean linens and towels plus the fully furnished kitchen.
floors and stairs were really noisy and creaky. Folks sleeping downstairs could hear people walking back and forth upstairs. Could use another roll of toilet paper for so many people (5-6) using one bathroom.
Convenient in center of Sunday River ski area. Staff left keys all set up for arrival Very clean
Easy booking process and policy. Heidi at Slopeside Rental was very responsive to my emails. Location by the slopes is so convenient when skiing with younger children especially if they are in ski school the location could not be better. The building is older. The unit we stayed in had been remodeled. Very clean.
We stayed two nights and the space was appropriate for a week-end. It would be a bit tight for our family of 4 over a full week but doable. Layout of the bathroom and vanity is awkward.
driving directions to unit difficult to follow. The name of site was Fall Line however instructions were all typed in lower case -fall line- so did not know name of specific building. Arrived after seeking assistance along the way.

Exclusive Gossip Girl Clip: Blair Stalks Dan, Bashes Lolaby Steve Marsi at . Comments
The CW and Warner Bros. have provided TV Fanatic an exclusive clip from Monday's all-new Gossip Girl, and it's a fun one. Blair shows up at Dan's theater production of Inside, where and meets a familiar face.
Familiar to us, at least.
The Upright Citizens Brigade, a comedy-based New York City improvisational theater group, is performing excerpts from Dan's book, which he's apparently overseeing. One of the actresses? None other than Lola.
That's the setting where B arrives, ostensibly to say hello to her "friend", but clearly with other motives. Fawning over him awkwardly, she's either smitten with Lonely Boy, looking to rub it in S' face, or both.
Moments later, she unknowingly meets the real Charlotte Rhodes, Julliard student and aspiring actress, and promptly bashes her hideous headband and wardrobe, only to learn that Lola is playing Claire in Inside.
Ouch, B. Watch the sneak peek from "Cross Rhodes" and comment below!

@ faminga. You are right !.. Yes I love DAIR.......
bbking: you may think they look awkward but I myself find them irresistable...sometimes these things are subjective
I know dan and blair first real kiss was suppose to be sweet and tender. but all the kisses i have seen kind of loook ..IDK awkward but ILOVE THEM...DAIR . and the blair\chuck kissing is really just ed and leighton cause they u know...
ed and leighton are hot . period. and if jessica hooked back up with ed after all the interviews where he is mentioning leighton every two seconds . she is just chingy .. i am sorry. just desperate. i mean even if ed was joking. it was just like 3 weeks ago i would not hook up with him again if i was jessica. then ed says he is not spending valentine day with anyone and never has because been nobody been special enough- check wetpaint.I LOVE ED... but i like dair... no offense to anyone.. maybe i am just a flaky shipper.. I probably will end up a chair shipper again ...lol. and everybody lighten up.. one more thing that 5x04 kiss with penn\leighton was kind of open mouth but not sexy ...IDK ..I guess.
Blair wasn't going to just stick her tounge down Dan's throat...It was their first 'real' kiss. It was unexpected and it was supposed to be simple, tender and sweet. They'll have more kisses coming up, and I'm sure they'll be much more hot and heavy as they get more comfortable with each other and want to rip each other's clothes off.
@bbking Clearly you do care.
Oh, okay. You think they are hooking up off screen? I think Ed and Jess are back together. Apparently they spent Valentine's Day together.
part -2. I mean WTF.. is off screen chemistry. just asking ? ed and leighton are soo hookup up. BUT DAIR.....NO DAIR NO CARE
yes. she kissed ed closed mouth but she seems to like it more that all i am saying so that is why ed and leighton kisses are better is because they like each other. ed saying he loves leighton. leighton saying thet have off screen chemistry.. i mean - ie.. hooking up ... but leighton has sexual chemistry with everybody. like i said penn\leighton kisses are okay.... just a average tv couple like they are. i like dair though ...
Yes, pty :) And she kissed Ed close mouthed in both the 5x7 and 5x10 kisses. I can't believe I'm analyzing her kissing technique :D

Watch Complete Coverage of Trooper Skinner's Funeral
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. -- State Trooper Christopher Skinner was mourned Tuesday at the First Baptist Church in Johnson City. Thousands came out to show their respect for the fallen state trooper.
"Trooper Christopher Skinner, Shield 4682, thank you for your service for the people of New York. God Bless you. May you rest in peace," said NYS Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico.
Matthew Maciak was a life-long friend of Skinner. The two had grown up together and then later worked together in the traffic incident management unit.
"Chris became a trooper 13 years ago and I was two years behind him in the academy. When the traffic management detail began, we both jumped at the chance and found ourselves working together for the past six years," Maciak said. "We can learn a lot from Chris. His hard work, his dedication to his job, his service to others, he was out there patrolling and keeping us safe in our homes and on our roads," added D'Amico.
Those who knew Skinner said he was a farm boy at heart, whose passion for farming continued throughout his life.
"One of the things I discovered through Christopher was the amazing strength and talent of a farm boy," said Rev. Richard Barron.
"I'll call it tenacity. You need tenacity to work from sun up to sun down or to get up at 2 a.m. because the cows are out, or fix the hay elevator that broke at 9 a.m. on the only scheduled sunny day of the entire month," said Skinner's sister, Air Force Maj. Julie Skinner-Dillion.
From Tuesday's turnout, it's obvious that Skinner meant a lot to this community and will be greatly missed.
"You were an intricate part of our team and it will never be the same without you, especially your quirky sense of humor," said Maciak. "Goodbye my friend, may your legacy live on. For the last time I'd like to say, C 103 Sidney, C 103 Out of service. End of Tour."
Following the funeral service, friends and family proceeded to the Chenango Valley Cemetery, where Skinner was buried.
Contributions can be made to the Skinner Children Ed Fund at an Visions Federal Credit Union location. The Signal 30 Fund is part of the New York State Police Benevolent Association, and donations can be made online at signal30.org.

Keeping an eye on eye in the sky
Drones used in journalism draw attention
|In this March 2012 photo provided by The University of Missouri, in Columbia, Mo., is a DJI 550 drone with an attached camera mount that the university says is probably the model it will file for permission to use. The FAA is developing new rules as the technology makes drones far more versatile, but for now operators can run afoul of regulations by using them for commercial purposes, including journalism. (AP Photo/University of Missouri, Zach Garcia, File)
HARTFORD — As police responded to a fatal car crash, they noticed an increasingly familiar sight: a remote-controlled aircraft, with a video camera, hovering over the wreckage.
The Federal Aviation Administration has opened an investigation of the drone, which was used by an on-call employee for a Connecticut television station. The FAA is developing new rules as the technology makes drones far more versatile, but for now operators can run afoul of regulations by using them for commercial purposes, including journalism.

The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes
Description: The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes is an experimental short film directed by Stan Brakhage in 1971. It consists entirely of graphic footage from actual autopsies. The camera captures, close-up, the corpses of a man and woman in a Pittsburgh morgue. There is no narration. The film is collected on the Brakhage anthology collection from Criterion, although it's separated from the rest of the films due to its extremely graphic nature.~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

So glad they arrived home safe and sound. My cousin hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. She loved it but she loves that kind of adventure and regularly goes hiking and rock climbing. I like hiking but the longest hiking trips I take is usually 2 - 3 days.

Hi all, I removed the "boycott" comment people are referring. That guy makes the round and has left one too many big comment/advertisement messages here promoting his "anti-woman" blog so I deleted it.

Although I like to hike in Yosemite, I am not fond of camping. I want to be back in my own bed by nightfall. Terry and I are, though, thinking of renting a house just outside of the park lands in a couple of years so that we can spend time watching the light move across those glacier-produced walls. Yosemite is an amazing place.

Mommy! We mommies tend to worry too much!
So glad your camping peeps are safe and sound.
That gear - mine still smells like a campfire from when I stayed at Joshua Tree.
Awesome stuff, JJ - hope you can one day get out to gift yourself with the experience! It's life changing!
Love ya!

Even some of the "day" hikes (when they say start EARLY so you can be back by dark, well pay attention) are strenuous. I'll do the "tent cabins" there but not hikes where you have to string you food up into trees so the bears don't get it. Ambitious folks.

I am glad they made it home safe and sound. I wonder how long it will take before they are ready for another adventure?

Heh! Well, that's a sign of a good time! I mean if they're putting so much into it that their gear is smelling, they really got after it!
At least they can say they "did it", now!

AEQUOREA 2012 PINOT NOIR "SEAFARAR" CENTRAL COAST 750mLWhile he has become known for his insanely delicious Petite Sirahs from Paso Robles, winemaker Aaron Jackson has recently expanded his portfolio and added some new flavors! AEQUOREA - which means of the sea in Latin - is focused on single vineyard wines from extreme coastal vineyards amidst San Luis Obispo County. In addition to these wines, each year Aaron Jackson also produce the Seafarer Pinot Noir as a special cuvee that brings together the elements from each of his vineyards. The goal is to create a wine that is more about overall texture and depth than individual site expression.
The 2012 Seafarer is 50% from Riven Rock Vineyard, 30% from Stromsoe Vineyard, and 20% from Spanish Springs Vineyard. All these vineyards are 6 miles or less from the chilly Pacific Ocean. The resulting wine features up front aromatics of cola, spice, bing cherry, and baked cranberry, while the palate sings on a fine beam of natural acidity that hits red fruits, minerals, cherry pit, tobacco, and warm cedar tones. Only 110 cases produced!

Police investigating man's death in Ilion
ILION, N.Y. (WKTV) - Ilion Police are investigating the death of a male found at a home at 31 Center Street in the village. The circumstances surrounding the man's death are not known, but police are continuing their investigation. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. Law enforcement officials tell NEWSChannel 2 that his name will not be released as the remainder of his family is notified. Police will remain on guard at the residence overnight into Monday. The body has been removed from the scene and was sent to Little Falls Hospital. A portion of Center Street was closed for several hours as the investigation took place.
