Emails: Former IRS Official Lois Lerner Called Republicans ‘Crazies’ and ‘—holes’

Former IRS Director Lois Lerner Testifies To A House Oversight Committee On IRS Targeting Scandal
Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner exercises her Fifth Amendment right not to speak about the IRS targeting investigation before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during a hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building on March 5, 2014 in Washington.

House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp released new emails from former IRS official Lois Lerner as part of investigation examining potential criminal wrongdoing

Lois Lerner, the former Internal Revenue Service official at the center of a scandal involving that agency’s targeting of conservative groups, called Republicans “crazies” and “assholes,” according to emails released Wednesday.

Lerner’s messages were released by House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp as part of an investigation looking into possible criminal wrongdoing at the IRS. The emails released by Camp’s committee were redacted to use the language “—holes,” but a Camp spokesperson confirmed the original emails read “assholes.” Lerner resigned from her post overseeing tax-exempt groups last September.

In work emails exchanged November 2012 with an unidentified person, Lerner knocks the “whacko wing” of the Republican Party and conservative radio shows. Camp said in a statement that he hopes the released emails urge the Justice Department to “aggressively pursue this case” and appoint a special counsel. In May 2013, Lerner acknowledged that the IRS chose groups with “tea party” in their name for additional review in determining their tax-exempt status as social welfare groups.

A spokesman for Rep. Sandy Levin (D-Mich.), the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, did not respond to a request for comment.

Philadelphia Visit

 The Saint and I left our GEORGIA GARDENS for a bit to partake in a very special family vacation. In honor of The Saints Mother's 75 birthday, we all went to Philadelphia together!
This being the second week of
April, we were able to extend spring into another Growing Zone! Thus, enjoying the early bloomers of Spring twice!
This weeping Cherry Tree was stunning to my eyes. We passed it many times with our sidewalk strolls and each time, it was as if I were seeing it for the first time. I could not keep my eyes off the thing!
I spotted little nooks of blooming beauties such as these Hellebores. I so wanted to mulch these beauties...
 The scent of Hyacinth filled the air in the Courtyard of Independence Hall.
 We strolled upon an 18th Century Garden within the Historical Park boundaries.
 This garden was an example of History in the plant form.
 This was a small garden but packed full of serenity for my aching feet. Yes, there is a lot of walking to be had while exploring Philly.
 Ah, Lush Green greeted us upon entry.
 Other then a few trees and a border of Ivy, this side of the garden is more of a grassy lawn.
 Lady Bird herself has been to this garden.
 The sun was shining through the arbor.
 As I walked through the short arbor, I could not help but be reminded of the long Arbor of Biltmore Gardens in Asheville. Even the planters outside the arbors were a great reminder of my visits to Biltmore.
 I would like to have this type garden some day as I find a scattered garden more work then I desire as I age.
 This poor tree looks at though it needs some TLC with someone that knows how to handle such specimens. Edward Scissorhands was here!
 I like the way the holly trees have been shaped into a bordering type fence. There was not much color in this garden but as I said, it was early spring on the day we visited the garden.
 One never knows where one may spot a little garden. At dinner that evening, we indulged in some wonderful traditional Italian foods at Dante & Luigi's...
 Below the sign, one sees a nice small garden in the form of window boxes.

Beautiful Lush Heather.
 Within the restaurant, I spotted this doorway open to reveal a nice breeze and garden. Only wish I had taken the time to snap more then one photo as this one is some what blurred, sigh. I did not want to seem strange snapping a photo while headed to the bathroom. I did not wish to bring attention to myself. After all, many gun shots were fired upon Nicodemo Scarfo Jr as he ate dinner here on Oct. 31, 1989. Click HERE to read more about that hit.
 Daffodils, Hyacinth and Narcissus were blooming in many spots along our journey.
 I found potted shrubs to be a nicely added touch to an alley type walkway.
 Pear trees were in full bloom and I must say, rather fishy smelling. I have never noticed this scent before but with walking past them countless times, one could not help but notice the scent as well as the beauty.
Our visit to Philadelphia took us to Independence Hall.
 And walking the hallowed floors of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
 Betsy Ross House.
 Strolling the streets of Philly.
We found a Geocache by this sacred spot.
Admired many beautiful old buildings such as this.
 And this building along with many more.
 We rode up in the 4-person elevator of City Hall to get views of such wonders as the longest straight urban street in America!
Click HERE to read more about Broad Street.
This view from high above reminded us of our time spent in New York City!
One can zoom into the stairs made famous by the movie "Rocky"
 Time did not allow us to walk through China Town but we enjoyed the sights as we drove to the "Reading Terminal Market" while passing by China Town.
 I could have strolled around this place for ever as it was so unique of a market! Fresh Produce.
 Sweet Treats.
 Fresh Cheese.
 German Meats.
 And sausages.
Counter front dining at one of many wonderful places to eat.
 On this day I chose Greek Gyros and Salad.
The Saint had a Philly Cheesesteak and fries.

 And for dessert, I had a Red Velvet Whoopie Pie! I learned about these fun treats from our very own Tina! We ate at this fun place twice while in Philly playing tourist and I can hardly wait to get back there again to indulge in more fun things. Click HERE to learn more about the Reading Terminal Market.
Breakfast each morning for me was an Asiago Cheese Square Bagel from Cosi' called a Squagel! I am not a fan of Bagels but love these things made fresh daily!
 We also enjoyed our first Big League baseball game! Some friends took us to a Phillies vs Marlins game! We had front row seats and were up close and personal to the Phillies zany Mascot the Phanatic. What fun we had.
Thanks again "Daisy" for making this happen for us!
And of course, what is a trip to Philadelphia without seeing the Liberty Bell. They would not allow me to repair the crack in the bell during our PHILADELPHIA VISIT, In the Garden...
Words and Photos Property of In the Garden Blog Team, In the Garden

  1. That's quite a trip. I enjoyed all your pictures and commentary. Especially the longest straight urban street in America and Rocky's stairs. I have been thru Philly before but never really toured it. It looks like so much history. You had a great trip and Happy Belated Birthday to the Saint's Mom!

    1. Tina, I tell you girl there is so much to see and do in Philly and so much of it is free! You know how I like free. But the cost of parking, hotel, well, not so great. But I would go again as there is so much yet to see!

  2. What a GREAT post about a wonderful place most of us will never get to visit. I loved it all.

    Have a really nice week ~ FlowerLady

    1. I had no idea how close Philly is to my In-Laws! The Saint and I should have been vacationing there before! We shall return as there is so much more to see and do...

  3. Nice picture diary of your trip! Would've been great if you had time to visit Longwood Gardens, too!
    I'm less than an hour away, but don't make time to visit except to the annual Philadelphia Flower Show...should go more often...specially to that food Market! ;D

    1. We did not have time to visit any major gardens during this visit but I plan to get back again and I shall hit a garden while there... ah, the Reading Terminal Market was the best! Loved all the different types of foods and things for sell. Was a lot of fun to stroll about and just look at all the good things surrounding me...

  4. I've never been there (HAVE been to Longwood Gardens though....). That's interesting about the fishy smell of pear trees! They sure are beautiful! Isn't it interesting how our gardening perspectives change as we age. Not our appreciation so much as how we arrange/order our own gardening spaces.

    1. Hopefully with our next visit, we too shall get to Longwood Gardens! As large as my garden is growing, I only wish I had planned it out but with me, I just make a purchase and stick it into the ground with no planning for the future. But this shall be my last large gardens as I am slowing down and don't want as much work but more time to sit and enjoy it...

  5. Loved the tour. The only was I will get to see these wonderful places is through your eyes. Beautiful.

  6. I can't imagine why they wouldn't let you repair the Liberty Bell, Skeeter:) Great photos--the aerial shots are fantastic! Philly is one more place on my want-to-see list; most of the East Coast is, for that matter. I'm hoping when my husband retires, we can take a trip out East. He's a history buff, so I know he'd love it.
    From your Facebook posts, I can see you haven't been sitting down since you've returned--wish I had your energy!

  7. Oh my what a great trip. You did it all, Skeeter. I need to put Philly on my "bucket list.".....:)

Quail-Tech Alliance Seeks to Increase Quail Populations

The study is a partnership between Texas Tech’s NRM and Quail First, a nonprofit organization.

Bobwhite quail

About eight years ago, bobwhite quail started disappearing on the fabled Four Sixes Ranch near Guthrie.

Joe Leathers, the general manager of the ranch, said he and others noticed fewer and fewer of the birds as each year passed. While they knew that other parts of the country and even Texas had experienced the same disappearing act, he and owner Anne W. Marion wanted to do something to protect the coveys that still existed on the 208,000-acre ranch that was established in 1870.

“The people that own the ranch take a lot of pride in taking care of their country and the wildlife that lives on it,” Leathers said. “We saw an opportunity with Texas Tech to do something about the quail situation.”

In 2010, the ranch enrolled in the Quail-Tech Alliance, a five-year, $1.25 million study. Scientists with this project hope to discover reasons for the area’s quail decline as well as develop new methods for landowners to use to stabilize, maintain and even increase quail populations, said Brad Dabbert, research project manager and an associate professor at Texas Tech’s Department of Natural Resources Management (NRM).

The Quail-Tech Alliance is a partnership between Texas Tech’s NRM and Quail First, a nonprofit organization.

“This project got underway because of the general decline of quail nationwide,” Dabbert said. “We were starting to see that decline creep across Texas. Quail-Tech was formed to try to learn what problems are involved with the decline to get in front of it as much as possible.”

Currently, the Four Sixes ranch is one of 26 anchor ranches in 19 counties covering about 1.6 million acres of land, he said. The organization hopes to grow into a 38-county research area in west central and northwest Texas – an area that encompasses more than 22 million acres or roughly 10 times the size of Yellowstone Park.

Other historic ranches already participating include the Pitchfork Ranch, W. T. Waggoner Ranch, Milliron Ranch in Collingsworth County and George Allen’s Circle A in Archer County.

“It is organized so that basically the ranches pay a fee to be in the organization and get some deliverables, such as quail counts and consulting on how to take care of their lands,” Dabbert said. “We also have on-the-ground research at the ranches at various times. Their fees are paid to Quail First, the charitable foundation. Those funds are then sent to Texas Tech.”

Quail Hunt

Quail-Tech Alliance hopes research can preserve the quail hunting tradition for future generations.

Protecting the West Texas quail-hunting legacy is what the project is all about, said Charles Hodges, Quail-Tech board member, co-founder of Quail First and chairman of Hodges & Associates Architecture in Dallas.

The Texas Tech alumnus said he spent most of his life following his father around during quail hunting season, and he wanted to preserve that tradition for future generations.

“That legacy my dad gave me was one that brought me to start the program and return quail hunting to its prominence in West Texas,” Hodges said. “Someone had to do it, so we got everyone together at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth to bring this to forefront. We had Dr. Dabbert and Dr. Sosebee build a program, and it’s turned into one of the largest in the country in terms of acres enrolled.”

Organizers envisioned working ranches enrolling in a program to become a laboratory for quail research, Hodges said, as a practical way to get the research accomplished. He and others went to ranch owners to explain the program.

“The vision is really continuing to evolve,” he said. “In the beginning, I think there was a great lack of real-world science. There were a lot of theories as to what was happening with the quail, but not a lot of practical application. We found there are lots of external factors – some natural and some man-made. So we thought we’d go down the checklist to see what was affecting the quail populations and get to the source of the decline so we could educate and intervene with anyone that’s a landowner or quail hunter.”

So far, researchers have done genetic analyses of quail to look at integrity and diversity of the birds in different areas as well as screen for some diseases, such as West Nile virus. In the northern Panhandle areas, researchers have studied how scaled quail might be competing for food and space with bobwhites and how the differences in each species’ reproductive capabilities may play a role in the decline.

Scientists also have worked on ways to raise wild birds from eggs with surrogate parents while in captivity, he said, since captive-raised birds tend to not learn what they need to survive in the wild. They also have tried to relocate populations from high-density areas of South Texas, which seems to be faring better than the rest of the state’s populations, into areas where bird numbers have significantly decreased.

Researchers believe supplemental feeding can lead to an increase in the quail population.

“In my opinion, one of the most important projects has been supplemental feeding,” Dabbert said. “Supplemental feeding in the past meant putting feed into some sort of barrel feeder or broadcasting feed onto road surface. There have been several studies that have shown neutral or temporary effects. We’ve been broadcasting sorghum into the habitat so that birds don’t have to go to one specific spot, such as a feeder, or expose themselves on open road. It’s been pretty satisfying to get something like that to work.

“In two years, we’ve seen 15 percent to 30 percent higher annual survival in areas where supplemental feeding took place. The negative is the feed’s not cheap. We’re about to restart that study and see if we can make it more economical.”

During the dry year of 2011, Dabbert said only 15 percent of females tried to nest when they had to find their own food. That’s compared to 85 percent of supplement-fed birds that tried to nest the same year.

Leathers said a little quail hunting goes on at the Four Sixes Ranch, although no hunting has taken place in the past two years, and none will take place this year.

He hopes that researchers will continue finding useful information to share with landowners to keep their coveys intact.

“Anne’s interested in cattle, but also with the wildlife as well,” he said. “We work so cattle and wildlife can cohabitate and thrive. I’ve been extremely pleased with the research, and the students from Texas Tech have been very diligent and done an extremely good job with this project.”

Last Bus

Golden Gate:
Gerhard Richter, 1989, oil on photograph, 10 x 15 cm (Gerhard Richter Art)

The last bus one hour and twelve minutes late
at the bleak nearly deserted downtown stop
and when I enquire of the only person waiting
at the kiosk
whether the bus may have already gone past
He says Fuck off don't you try to talk to me
and turns his back
and high above him atop the new tower block
the giant neon lights advertising
the hotel that wasn't there the last time I looked
flash on and off
advertising the five luxury dining rooms.

Marie W said...

Tom, is there crisis counseling available at the last bus stop as well? I am sure that standing at the kiosk in the late hours probing the fog for the last chance to reach home today one very often feels like making a call to whoever-wherever can get us out of here. This poem feels so true. It must have happened yesterday.
I love the Gerhard Richter painting on photographs. 10 X 15cm, ah, very reassuring, in a way, such great art on small format.

Poet Red Shuttleworth said...

Terrific poem. The heartless cold, the urban disengagement, the goddamned dining rooms we shall never set foot in....

TC said...

Marie, the only crisis counseling at that bus stop is of the watch your back, every man for himself variety. This happened night before last, as a matter of fact. Though it's also happened before, with only slight variations. (Is that what they used to call eternal recurrence?)

Red, I probably don't have to tell you that those goddamned dining rooms were definitely meant for other people.

Given your poem, Richter's 2 photos (taken the same year as the quake), the view of the tilted up beach at Land's End, those weathered cables, "THERE IS HOPE" might be wishful thinking . . .

De Villo Sloan said...

Great poem, Tom.

Once scanning was something different from the WalMart checkout; at least I know that much.

The circuits could be totally blown out here, but that poem has a lot of trochees & dactyls that give it a curious emphatic/drive quality, dispersed as they are throughout the more variable "common speech" rhythms. You also have some interesting pentameter action going on there,I think.

I mention only because the musicality serves the higher purpose of your content in this one.

(Again, I am not the best on scanning in the check-out line but felt I detected some patterns in the bar code.}

That same kind of musicality is present in those wonderful Richter pieces, if I can further stretch this rant across visual-textual-auditory.

Again, really fine poem.

TC said...

If there really were to be HOPE, it would seem appropriate that the sign posting on the bridge would at least include a free telephone to make that desperate call for help. But I don't even see a pay phone. In this high-end town, I suppose even suicidals must possess their own "mobile devices".

"I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane", sang Waylon Jennings.

De Villo,

Thanks very much for noticing.

There's been so much misuse of the term "poetry" by people who have neither enough respect for the art to recognise its signs, when it's happening, nor the patience and/or modesty to learn what might be required to actually produce it.

What you call musicality was once regarded as a sine qua non in this art.

Now musicality is generally resented (stupidity and haste would be the causes).

Hand me my tin ear horn!

Wooden Boy said...

The image of the back turned with the neon lights bled across it; perfect evocation of the broken promise. The Richters mirror this very well.

The night bus is a very particular kind of horror.

Nora said...

There's nothing like the sense of despair (touched with injustice) that comes with waiting for a bus that never arrives.

Hazen said...

Great poem, Tom. Great post. The revelation, in a few strokes, of a faded, off-kilter world giving way beneath its own weight. That image of the red and fraying cable is a perfect counterpoise. Bring Your Own Safety Net. The bottom comes up fast.

De Villo Sloan said...

Tom, your statement, "musicality is generally resented...", is the ultimate irony, especially concerning the much-abused practice of "free verse."

One of the things I appreciate about Edward Dorn: A World of Difference is the close reading of the poems. As much as I wanted to think I was a good Dorn reader, I never would have gotten what he did poetically otherwise.

"Is 'Hemlocks' Really a Poem?" is a great example. "Hemlocks" embodies all sorts of elements of the poetic tradition, only reworked in a very, very innovative way. That readers couldn't/(still) can't see what is right there in front of them is startling.

The reading of "The Rick of Green Wood" was equally as enlightening for me. Again, I hadn't been aware of Dorn's understanding of the poetic tradition nor his ability to forge a new poetics that kept things from being simply imitations of what went before. Yet the music remains - no tin ear in that case.

I only go into this because "Last Bus," in a similar way reveals there is a difference between poetry and prose.

Heck, Creeley made a distinction between "verse" and "poetry." Maybe that's more to the point.

BDR said...

Where's the phone? Where's the number?

Beautiful post.

Nora, I remember that "missed the boat" feeling that the bus used to give so often. Ship of fools perhaps.

Tom, where were you heading?

Great poem, Tom. BTW, over here in Hellas, whenever you ask someone if the bus has already gone past, if it hasn't they usually answer with a "What bus?"; if it has, they gesture with a windup of their hand as if they are getting ready to sling a fastball and let loose with an extended two-syllable word that sends you into utter dejection--TO------RA (Now) meaning that said bus has long since departed and better luck with the next one if and when it comes along!

Thanks everyone.

"... a faded, off-kilter world giving way beneath its own weight... The bottom comes up fast."

Amen, brother.

It's one long missed-the-boat, missed-the-bus kind of deal, and this is its unsung story.

Vincent, as you enquire, I was homeward bound.

More from Our Town.

A perfect poem, worth the experience you had to go through to get it. Thanks, Tom.

Thanks, Terry. (Things have been a bit taxing of late, I suppose that shows.)

Health Department offers tips to play it safe

The Tooele County Health Department wants to remind everyone to play it safe this spring.

The TCHD released a list of eight tips to keep in mind before participating in organized sports that will hopefully help keep everyone in the county healthy and safe.

The first tip was to prepare children for the demands of playing sports.

According to the press release, “Before playing organized sports, make sure your child receives a pre-participation physical exam by a doctor.”

Receiving a physical before a sports season can aid in ruling out medical conditions that a child may have or anything that could potentially put an athlete at risk.

“Just in case of emergency, share your contact information with your athlete’s coaches,” according to the release. “If your athlete has any history of asthma or other medical conditions that require special attention, meet with the coach before the first practice.”

Stretching before games and practices can help prevent injury, and according to the release, it shouldn’t be neglected.

It “can release muscle tension and help prevent sports-related injuries, such as muscle tears or sprains. Make sure there is time set aside before every practice and game for athletes to warm up properly.”

The third item from the TCHD was to stay hydrated. Learn the signs and symptoms of dehydration and other forms of heat illness.

“Encourage children to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after play,” according to the release. “Encourage your athletes to drink fluids 30 minutes before the activity begins and every 15 to 20 minutes during activity. If you’re a coach, mandatory fluid breaks during practice and games are a great idea. Don’t wait for your athletes to tell you they’re thirsty.”

No. 4 on the list was to wear the appropriate equipment and to make sure that gear fits your child well.

According to the release, “Having kids wear the appropriate and properly-fitted sports gear during practice and games can help avoid minor and serious injuries.”

The TCHD reminds everyone to not take chances with the brain and to learn the signs and symptoms of a concussion.

“A player with a suspected concussion must be immediately sidelined until evaluated and released by a medical profession,” according to the release. “The important thing is to protect players who have had a concussion from getting another one. A good rule of thumb: When in doubt, sit them out.”

And don’t underrate the necessity of rest for all athletes.

“To help avoid overuse injury, rest all players during practices and games,” according to the release. “Encourage players to communicate any pain, injury or illness they may have during or after any practices or games. Kids should have at least one or two days off from any particular sport each week.”

Along with safety guidelines released by the Health Department, coaches should establish their own safety guidelines to ensure the young athletes and happy and healthy.

“It’s also a good idea for coaches to get certified in first aid and CPR and have a stocked first aid kit handy at all practices and games,” according to the release. “Coaches should consider adding to their sports skills and knowledge.”

Finally, the Health Department wants parents to be supportive and help with these guidelines.

According to the release: “Learn ways to help your child stay injury-free and healthy while playing sports. Attend a sports safety clinic. These clinics provide coaches and parents with ways to keep young athletes healthy and injury-free throughout their sporting careers.”

Amy Bate, of the Tooele County Health Department, compiled this list of guidelines and submitted the press release to the Tooele Transcript-Bulletin.

1955 Cadillac Other

Three owner car: original buyer, my father, now me. It's been in our family for 35 years. Garaged most of the time. Covered when it wasn't. Engine (331 C.I.) and automatic transmission completely rebuilt about 10 years ago. Less than 500 miles on both. New points, spark plugs and wires at time of rebuild. Same with shocks. Both chrome rear bumper pieces re-plated. Flowmaster exhaust system added with engine rebuild. Sounds amazing... sexy, low throaty rumble. All brake cylinders and lines rebuilt. Original upholstery. Runs great, but generator needs repair. This has not been through a frame off rebuild. Original 6 volt system. Always been on the west coast so no rust or salt corrosion issues. Although engine transmission, radiator, and brakes have all been redone, no other cosmetic work under the hood has been done. Power brakes and power steering all work. Laser straight frame. Weather stripping needs replacing. As a result some rust on inside of driver side door (see picture). Other doors are good. Minor rust spots at bottom of rear window. Radiator was cored, but heater boxes have not been worked on. New crests on hood and trunk. All new plastic covers and lenses on rear lights. New medallions on all four original hubcaps.hubcaps. Although windshield wiper fluid bottle is not shown, I do have it and the original lid. Original interior rear view mirror gone. (temporarily replaced with aftermarket unit). Original AM band radio works, although retractable antenna does not. Glove box locking lever broken. Carb has hairline crack in base. So, the big stuff's been done, some little stuff remains. Sad to see this go, but I'm downsizing and no longer have room for it.

last time i played, i started out with an orange dragon who i named Julius. (wiz, wand of poly) I played that character for a week, beat soko, then returned to the mines, where Julius died at the bottom. Completely lost heart in that character. I had even cheated and made a backup save, and my wife said "why don't you just use that?"
"you don't understand. Julius died."
So, now i am locking insane dwarves in shops because i don't have silk. silk. Is cloth good enough? nnnnnooooooo. Giant Cave Spider Silk, or NOTHING.

Emirates tops brand perception ranking in UAE

Dubai, February 5, 2013

Dubai-based Emirates, one of the fastest growing international airlines, ranked number one in a survey of brand perception in the UAE, followed by Samsung and Apple.

Emirates scored 58.2 points in the 2012 BrandIndex Buzz Annual Rankings for UAE published by leading market research company YouGov.

Samsung and Apple, both new entrants to the list, scored 47 and 44.7 points respectively, while Carrefour, which slipped out of the 2011 BrandIndex Annual Buzz Ranking Top 10 List, came in fourth with 44.6 points.

The brands were ranked using YouGov BrandIndex’s Buzz score, which assesses more than 500 brands across 20 different sectors in the UAE by asking respondents: ‘If you’ve heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, and if so, positive or negative?’

Dettol dropped three ranks, from second to fifth position with a score of 44 points. Supported by growth in the tourism sector, Dubai Mall and Mall of Emirates made a strong entry onto the 2012 BrandIndex Annual Buzz Ranking Top 10 list at sixth and eighth position, with 42.5 and 41.1 points, respectively.

Luxury brand, Givenchy, witnessed the largest increase in Buzz score this year, which improved by 20.1 points.

Similar to last year, Samsung ranked second in Buzz Improvement, witnessing an increase of 15.5 points. Personal care brand, Fair & Lovely, witnessed a Buzz score increase of 12.1 points, earning them third place in the Buzz Improvement rankings.

YouGov BrandIndex is the first and only service that measures the fundamentals of brand health every day. It interviews over 25,000 – 30,000 people per year in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which not only gives an instantaneous picture of a brand’s health, but also of the competitors and whole sector. – TradeArabia News Service

Variety: Transformers 3 Gets a Date

Despite Transformers Revenge of the Fallen still 101 days away from its release date, Variety is reporting that DreamWorks and Paramount have chosen July 1st, 2011 as the date for Transformers 3. This is similar to the previously rumored June 29, 2011 date from late last year.
HOLLYWOOD -- Paramount and DreamWorks are forging ahead with "Transformers 3," dating the movie for release on July 1, 2011.
It's the first word of the three-quel, although Paramount insiders downplayed the importance of the move.

They said the studio wanted to claim the date before a competitor did, considering that the 2011 summer release calendar is filling up.

No deals have been inked with director Michael Bay or franchise stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. Nor has a writer been hired for the third installment.
What this means is the studio simply circled a date on the calendar and said "Mine! Compete if you dare!" with maybe an evil laugh. Does this mean they will achieve the release date? Obviously it is doable since Transformers 2 is coming out on time despite a rather sizable roadblock of a Writers’ Strike. Money is really the only limitation, not time, and if Transformers 2 reaches or exceeds expectations then that will not even be much of an issue. Thanks for Brian for the link.

  1. FIRST

  2. i have been waiting for this announcement. love it love it! i'm so happy that we have transformers to enjoy on the big screen.

  3. There they go with the retarded first,second crap...but what will this thread do for a whole year??

  4. dear blog owner, give me access to delete First posts, i beg you.

  5. Kinda cool to know there's a 3rd coming, but I did remember Bay saying he wanted a year off before starting on anythin :)

  6. in 3 i believe jazz comes back, but due to injuries his alt mode must be some type of convertible.

  7. It will happen on time if and only if Transformers2:ROTF is going to get a final worldwide box office gross way higher than the first movie. I see no reason why it shouldn't, the Teaser Trailer proves that it's going to have what it needs to achieve that BUT every fan of the first movie and the franchise in general will have to support it in every possible way. Prepare yourselves to bring your family, parents, relatives, friends in theaters to watch it and multiple times with whoever would enjoy a second or third run. The movie will be massive, I really hope that it's going to be the best movie directed by Bay ever. Let's support his work and then he will decide to not delay Transformers3. No one wants Paramount/Dreamworks to even ever consider replacing Bay with another director, another director would kill the franchise.

  8. IDK about the date wont this put it in competition with harry potter... again.

  9. Awwwww....yeah...bring back Bay for #3...i'm just gettin used to his back asswards way of doing things......

    His boom-boom's are good though.....looks like we're gonna get alot more of that this time #3 he'd have to take it to a WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL!!!

    Bring on a bad ass #2 and ridiculous #3!!

  10. It's the star wars trilogy of today. i love it. bay or not, having a third transformers movie means im excited. bay will be there though. we wouldn't have it any other way.

  11. So why is Dreamworks still atached to a 3rd. I thought they split with Paramount and only have there name still attached to ROTF because it was started as a joint effort??? Anyone??

  12. "So why is Dreamworks still atached to a 3rd. I thought they split with Paramount and only have there name still attached to ROTF because it was started as a joint effort??? Anyone??"

    My guess is that they are still attached to the franchise, not just this movie.

    It will be interesting to see how things progress given that Bay did recently announce wanting to take a year off. Then again, he came back for the second and even turned down other projects because he didn't want anyone else touching his baby.

    I always figured LaBeouf and Fox signed for a trilogy......perhaps they didn't.

    I think it would be cool to have a complete trilogy, with 3 being the biggest and the best. I think there are still a lot of characters and stories to explore. Which brings up Orci and Kurtzman. Would THEY be up for a third. I'd hate for Transformers to pull a Batman and completely change style and actors. I guess we'll see!

  13. July 1st, 2011?

    Damnit, I'm busy that day

  14. ^^^ Your sister will be with me that day so it looks as if you have nothing on your plate to worry about---have fun watchin' TF-3 :)

  15. im sorry good sir but although I have no doubt that your intentions are noble I can assure you that I have no sister and deeply apologize for any confusion I may have inadvertently caused

    you pube

  16. LaBeouf and Fox did sign on for three, (read that in an interview around the time of the first movie) as is the case with most movies now a days, I.E. Christian Bale for new Batman Movies, as well as the new Terminator movies. However this has become a fairly common practice as of late in Hollywood. Interesting part is that if the movie studio doesn't want to use you in the sequels, they don't have to. Just ask Howard Terrance how it feels being replaced by Don Cheetle in Iron Man 2. Howard never gets to become War Machine. That must suck.

  17. Nevermind Howard Terrance, what about Paltrow Gwyneth and Downey Robert?

  18. Im just worried now that there is a 3, maybe that means there HAS to be a 3. like so many rumors of Optimus Prime being killed in this one. 3 is kinda necessary to bring him back.. I just dont wanna see prime die! plain and simple!!

  19. Nevermind Howard Terrance, what about Paltrow Gwyneth and Downey Robert?
    You should be the first regular that is banned

    for..........not being funny......EVER

    pretty lame 'snotrocket'

  20. Yo Yo Yo---I iz readin Michael Bay's website and he say dat Transformers iz indeed comin back for a 3rd film but da Paramount done screwed up and made it 2011

    Da man himself confirmed it for da summer of 2012

    Montego Bay, JAM

  21. twenty-FIRST

    Thanks for the info "Rasta"

  22. No problem mon---iz you also Jamaican?? I iz wonderin cuz you called me "Rasta" & usually only us natives say dat.

    If you ain't--don't worry bout it cuz it makes us feel good.

  23. It's a mistake !
    The release date is 2o12, sais Michael Bay.
    Just a misunderstanding on the phone beetween him and the company...

  24. Usually now-a-days, actors are asked to sign for 3 movies before they are given the part.

    The actors of "Lost in Space" actors were asked to do the same thing, just the movie kind of bombed and 2 and 3 were never made.

    For Batman: Michael Keaton pulled out of doing part 3 cause he saw that it was turning away from the Dark feel of 1 & 2 and going with a more campy style.

  25. Let's just hope the second doesn't disappoint and gets good reviews so the third won't be a waist of time.

  26. If Prime dies, I will have to lock myself in a room and do Nothing but play with my Transformers collections for weeks just to get over the pain and suffering of the coolest character ever dying twice in my lifetime. Either that, or I will just be disgusted and wish they didn't kill him....we'll see.

  27. Kup said...
    There they go with the retarded first,second crap...but what will this thread do for a whole year??
    Scorpio says:
    Maybe it will just stop kind of like other blogs or the Red Dwarf Blog which stopped and started anew when it returned. Soon the waiting will be over though and we will all be so pleased seeing the masterpiece known as Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. So i can expect at least six months after the film is released to be predictions of the third film. When the DVD is released we will probably be watching that continuously for four months besides Bay needs a Holiday so lets all relax and just enjoy the film.

  28. Anonymous said...

    that joke is like a fine wine, it just gets better as it ages

  29. There is a Red Dwarf Blog? Where is that one?

    There is a show that should be made into a Hollywood movie. (more so than Hitchikers Guide to the Universe)

  30. Let's just hope the second doesn't disappoint and gets good reviews so the third won't be a waist of time.

    So... If a second movie get bad review, that means, the third movie won't be worth watching...? What...?

  31. Replying to Anonymous at 1:27PM:
    Well there`s the official site here:
    And there's this blog here (Be warned content is rude)

Fallon's Upcoming GQ Article

For those of you interested in all the latest news concerning our fave WMMA fighter, Fallon Fox will have an article appearing about her in the January 2014 issue of GQ magazine.

Things have been quiet so far from ever since sore winner Ashlee Evans-Smith flapped her gums and unleashed some transphobic comments that Fox responded to after their featherweight title bout in October.

Hopefully 2014 will be a much better year for our fave girl like us WMMA fighter and people will focus more on her talent than her trans status. .

Looking forward to seeing the article myself when it hits my local newsstand.

TransGriot Update:  It's up at GQ's website:  Here's the link to the article.

Overheated in Beijing

The worst thing about traveling alone is ... getting sick.

This has happened to me now several times. Once it was food poisoning in Vietnam. But my real Achilles heel is heat exhaustion. Had it in India, had in Vietnam. Got it now in Beijing.

I flew here a day early just to take advantage of what promised to be a sunny day. (Photographs, don't you know.) And then, there was barely any sun at all! So I started out without a hat, and without much food in my stomach.

Then the sun came out. And I forgot to eat (happens.) And I didn't drink enough water. And.....

Calling a doctor is out of the question; an English speaker costs $300! So I got the girl at the front desk to write down my symptons in Chinese and headed out for the local pharmacy.

Whether what I got will do anything for what I've got remains to be seen. So here's the drill: Room 435 at the Jianguo Hotel in Beijing. Honey, if you don't hear from me tomorrow, call the U.S. Embassy and tell them where to find me. It's just down the street.

Who said this was a glamorous job?

Horses have played a starring role in Celtic literature and folklore, hence Ireland's nickname: Land of the Horse. Horseback-riding vacations in Ireland offer visitors an adventurous and up-close and personal way of getting to know the Emerald Isle, where the activity isn't just a sport or leisurely pastime, but a way of life for many people. With its vibrant green landscapes and haunting mysticism, embroidered by mountains and salty waves, Ireland provides an almost-surreal wonderland for foreign horseback riders.

Ireland on Horseback

Operating through the Sligo Riding Center, Ireland on Horseback offers a seven-day horseback-riding vacation exploring the Atlantic Coast to the Markree Castle. Riders are required to be of at least intermediate riding level, over the age of 18, and no more than 220 pounds. Accommodations (included in the package) are at the four-star Glasshouse Hotel in Sligo, located between Knocknarea Mountain and Union Forest, in a coastal area that is home to one of the oldest collections of Megalithic tombs, dating back to 3500 B.C. Guests experience four to five hours of riding per day, exploring pristine coastline and beaches, islands, mountains, forests and countryside. Daily riding excursions feature historic sights and places of interest, such as restored castles and megalithic cemeteries, to lend insight into Irish heritage. Guests can choose to include a visit to the Celtic seaweed baths or an optional last-night's stay at Markree Castle. The vacation package, which starts at $1,297 per person (as of May 2010) includes full breakfast daily, two lunches, transportation to and from the airport, train or bus station, accommodations and five days of guided horseback tours.

An Sabin Galway Clare Burren Trail Ride

Located in the rural West of Ireland, amid the Slieve Aughty Mountains and along the River Shannon, the An Sabin Riding Centre offers an eight-day horseback-riding vacation along the Galway Clare Burren Trail. The carefully planned itinerary begins at the scenic shores of Lough Derg, at the Whitegate hotel, which provides the first four nights of accommodations. The first two days of riding explore mountains and forests, as well as farms and historic sites of the Galway countryside. The following days include the Inis Cealtra Ride; Lough Graney Ride; Glandaria Ride, which explores Burren National Park; and Mullaghmore Ride. The last part of the trip explores the Atlantic coast, where riders venture to cliffs overlooking the ocean and the famous Aran Islands. Covering more than 140 miles of County Galway, County Clare and the Burren region, the vacation package includes accommodations, transportation to and from Shannon Airport, all meals and six full days of guided horseback riding excursions. The full trip is priced at $1,323 per person (as of May 2010) and is slightly higher during the peak-season months of June, July and August.

Killarney Riding Stables Killarney Reeks Trail

From April through October, Killarney Riding Stables offers a six-night, five-day trail ride along the Killarney Reeks Trail for riders who, at bare minimum, are comfortable with walk, trot and canter on an English saddle. The vacation begins in the McGillyCuddy Reeks mountain range in the highlands of Kerry and explores the base of Seefinn Mountain and Caragh Lake. The trail weaves through the valleys, mountains, forests, countryside and bogs of southern Ireland, including the Waterville beaches. Riders also head over the four-mile stretch of sand on Rossbeigh and the Iveragh Peninsula, which features many archaeological and historical sites. Accommodations are arranged in three different towns along the trail, with luggage transferred to each location. The package price is $1,491 per person (as of May 2010) and includes airport transportation, lodging, luggage transfer and six days of professionally guided excursions. A three-day package is also available. Killarney Riding Stables Ballydowney, Killarney County Kerry, Ireland 011-353-64-66-31686

November 24th for November 28th, 2016 Meeting

 TFF Monthly Meeting
Time: 7:00 PM
Date: 11/28/2016
Durham County Wildlife Club
3616 Hopson Road, Morrisville, NC

 Here is our upcoming schedule for November, December and January. A reminder we don't have a meeting in December, but will have a gathering at Chows on December 6th.

The November presenter will be Captain Dean Lamont. His website:
He will talk about his typical fishing year,  starting at the Roanoke for Shad and ending for Albies and Trout.

Captain Dean Lamont is a USCG master captain of 13 years, an insured guide, a member and former president of the Cape Lookout Flyfishers,  former member of the N.C. Marine Fisheries Central Advisory Board, a member of the Triangle Flyfishers (TU), and a member of the Coastal Conservation Association.

Our Christmas Party will be at Chow on Creedmoor Rd. (8311 Creedmoor Road). The same place we partied last year. Feel free to bring your wife or date. Food will be provided. There will be a cash bar at the Chow Bar.

We will have a Secret Santa gift exchange. Please bring a gift valued less than $10. My philosophy on the gift exchange is to bring a gift you would like to have.

We may auction off a few items. In the Spirit of Christmas all funds raised will go toward our children’s programs, The Kids Fee for the Clear Water Lake Fish Out, River Course Conservation & Fly Fishing Camp and Trout-in-classroom. We are asking for a minimum $5 donation per person.

There will also be a Trader Joe’s Christmas Basket door prize.

This event will let us come together to share the Christmas Spirit and reminisce about good times. It should be lots of fun for everyone.

Our January presenter will be Captain Gary Dubiel. Here a link to his website:
Over 15 years guiding experience and an expert with both fly and light tackle fishing.
Capt. Gary's passion for fishing brought him to North Carolina in the late 1980's. Starting "Spec Fever" because of his love of speckled seatrout fishing.  Moving from the Outer Banks to the Neuse River, Gary adding redfish, stripers, false albacore and so many other species to the Spec Fever hit list.
Always looking to improve his techniques, Gary pioneered the popping cork craze for NC giant red drum, turning what was a night time bait fishery into a day time artificial lure fishery.  Progressing that one step further, Gary invented the Pop-N-Fly rig and revolutionized fly fishing for these giant reds.
Capt. Gary has written and lectured on both light tackle and fly fishing and he has appeared on a number of angling shows on ESPN 2, WFN, UNC-TV, NBC Sports, the Sportsman Channel and Discovery Channel (Europe).  He is a frequent speaker at local and national fishing shows including the Saltwater Sportsman's National Seminar Series, the Fly Fishing Show and the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival.  He has also been featured in many major sports fishing magazines and in several books.

                                                                                TAKE ACTION
Last week, the NC Senate unveiled and passed a plan virtually overnight that would eliminate many important water quality protections across the state. Concerned sportsmen who prize North Carolina’s heritage of clean water and healthy watersheds important to outdoor pursuits such as fishing and hunting must act immediately to stop these dangerous rollbacks.  Contact your NC House Representative today!

First, let me remind you where this story begins.  In the summer of 1995, millions of fish died in the Neuse River, capturing the attention of the state and nation.  The cause was low oxygen levels due to pollution in the river.  Citizens demanded action and North Carolina began a journey to put programs and policies into place to keep our rivers healthy by limiting pollution. The results were the Neuse River rules, the Falls Lake rules, and Creation of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund.

But last week, the North Carolina Senate voted to reverse course.  The state Senate’s policy rollbacks were added to the budget (Section 14.13) passed on Friday.  The provision would delay implementing rules designed to protect Jordan Lake for the fifth time and -- for the first time-- delay rules that protect Falls Lake.  Together, Jordan and Falls Lakes supply drinking water for over 700,000 people in the Triangle and provide the opportunity for many thousands of hours of outdoor recreation for swimmers, boaters, and fishermen.

Worst of all, in 2020, the provision would repeal protections for these lakes and replace them with an unknown alternative called the State Nutrient Management Strategy.  But that’s not all.

This budget provision would also eliminate vegetated buffers along rivers, which is one of our best and most cost-effective ways to protect water quality for trout, shellfish, and habitat for waterfowl. The Senate voted to get rid of buffer and other water quality requirements for the following impaired waterways in 2020:

Neuse River Basin;
Tar-Pamlico Basin;
Part of the Goose Creek watershed;
Randleman Reservoir in Guilford County; and,
           Catawba River Basin riparian buffers.

And again, our existing science-based protections would be replaced with an unknown alternative.  Take action today!  Final budget negotiations begin this week.

Crime Fighters With Across-the-Border Roots

mexico only no usa return , sign  mexican border to usa

By Katherine Sharma

When the political landscape is heated by rhetoric about immigrant crime and border walls, it may be time to remember that mystery fiction has a tradition of sleuths and crime fighters with south-of-the-border heritage. For example, there’s Rex Burns’ Gabriel Wager, a hard-drinking Mexican-American detective with the Denver police force, introduced in The Alvarez Journal, the Edgar Award-winning first novel of the series.

Adjusting ShadesDell Shannon (aka Elizabeth Linington) debuted her hero, LAPD Homicide Lieutenant Luis Mendoza, in Case Pending and was nominated for an Edgar with the series’ Knave of Hearts. But it is probably more illuminating to check out mystery fiction by truly Chicano/Chicana voices.

Start with Rudolfo Anaya, born in a rural New Mexico village and famed for the poetic and mystical Bless Me, Ultima. Anaya also has penned mysteries with his special perspective expressed in Sonny Baca, a part-time rodeo rider turned private eye in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who not only seeks to solve crimes but to understand the meaning of his dreams and cultural roots.

On the distaff side, there is Lucha Corpi, a Chicana poet and mystery writer born in Mexico. Her first mystery in 1992, Eulogy for a Brown Angel, introduced Gloria Damasco, a Chicana feminist with extra-sensory awareness.

Rolando Hinojosa, born in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, debuted his series about Texan Lieutenant Detective Rafe Buenrostro of the Belken County Homicide Squad with 1972′s Partners in Crime.

Beautiful SpyBreaking more than ethnic barriers, Michael Nava is a California attorney and author of a mystery series featuring Henry Rios, an openly gay criminal defense lawyer who struggles to maintain his faith in a sometimes corrupt legal system. Since Rios’ debut in The Little Death in 1986, Nava’s novels have received multiple Lambda Literary Awards for LGBT literature.

Finally, there’s Manuel Ramos, another attorney turned author. His mystery series has also won recognition and awards, including an Edgar nomination for The Ballad of Rocky Ruiz, the 1994 introduction of sleuth Luis Montez, a world-weary middle-aged lawyer and former Chicano activist. For more, see

Katherine Sharma’s family roots are in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. But after her early childhood in Texas, she has moved around the country and lived in seven other states, from Virginia to Hawaii. She currently resides in California with her husband and three children. She has also traveled extensively in Europe, Africa and Asia, and makes regular visits to family in India. After receiving her bachelor’s degree. in economics and her master’s degree in journalism from the University of Michigan, Katherine worked as a newspaper and magazine writer and editor for more than 15 years. She then shifted into management and marketing roles for firms in industries ranging from outdoor recreation to insurance to direct marketing. Although Katherine still works as a marketing consultant, she is now focused on creative writing.

Double standard applied to Deen, music

Re: the June 22 article "Food Network fires Deen over N-word controversy."

I do not condone nor do I use racial slurs. They are ugly and not relevant. Why then is it not only acceptable, but seemingly normal, for the N-word to be used in rap music? As well, the N-word is used as a greeting among some people and it's completely normal to be thrown around.

It seems like people want to change and bend what is appropriate to say and by whom, no matter how offensive, under the umbrella of "political correctness." Paula Deen recognizes she used a word that has no place in society, but it sounds like a serious double standard in my book.

To which god was congressman referring?

After the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage, a Republican congressman from Texas claimed the decision went "against the laws of nature and nature's God."

I'm not sure which god nature worships - maybe Dionysus? - but if it's that strange fellow called Jehovah perhaps someone should refer the gentleman to Genesis 2:18-20, where the Big Guy, seeking a helpmate for Adam, first presents to him all the beasts of the field. Hmm. Bestiality was a possibility? Was that the god the congressman meant?

Separation of church, state not in the First

Re: the June 27 letter to the editor "Shrine violates wall of separation."

After publishing views of your readers that are not based on facts, you'd think that the Arizona Daily Star's editorial staff would on occasion publish an editorial that addresses the subject based on facts.

Case in point: the letter related to removing the shrine on "A" Mountain that states that "the First Amendment insists on a clear separation of religion and government - so that people of differing beliefs can coexist peacefully." Not so! As a public service, how about enlightening us with an article that outlines the real purpose of the separation of church and state?

Children don't always reflect parents' values

Re: the June 19 letter to the editor "Teen's rants reflect parents' failure."

Teen rebellion is seldom "appropriate." Even the most conscientious parents will probably endure a spate of rebellious behavior when raising a teenager. Teens will often party too hard, drive too fast and espouse views diametrically opposed to their parents'.

I devoted myself to civil rights and integration when my kids were young and one of my little darlings joined the Ku Klux Klan.

Clearly my children were not always "influenced" by me or by what they heard at the dinner table, although as adults they now reflect many of my core values. If the writer is a parent, I would ask him not to pass on his tendency to be too quick to judge.

Cheap money is costly to ordinary folks

For years Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and his predecessor Alan Greenspan have propped up a facade of a healthy economy by keeping interest rates artificially low to stimulate borrowing and spending.

Their cheap money policies have enabled the big financial institutions to borrow at almost no interest, and in some cases use the borrowed funds to buy Treasury securities at a low, yet higher rate of interest, than their cost of borrowing. It has worked well for the big financial institutions.

It has not worked for ordinary folks who have sacrificed and saved all their lives and are now unable to invest their savings at a rate of interest that will even keep pace with inflation.

Chairmen Bernanke and Greenspan no doubt knew that their cheap money, low interest follies could not go on indefinitely and will surely lead to a rude awakening.

Tucson heat. It's the piper we pay, to get from October to May.

Leaders must make decisions for prosperity

Re: the June 23 guest column "To join the big leagues, Tucson must take advantage of its opportunities."

Si Schorr's guest column should be a reminder to both voters and elected officials of where Tucson would be now if we had considered taking different paths toward a more prosperous city and county.

Proper insight and an open dialogue regarding Grand Canyon University's expansion at the El Rio Golf Course should be seriously looked into. Hundreds of jobs would be created by GCU, as well as opportunities of local businesses to grow and prosper. Can we afford to miss out on $500 million in growth to the Tucson economy?

Let's make sure that we make the right decision and not a quick one. Let's address the concerns of local residents and make sure there is open space, parks and recreational activities as part of this opportunity. Looking back at the what-ifs, do we want to miss another opportunity?

Destroyermen: Into the Storm

More information

Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, the U.S.S. Walker-a Great-War vintage "four-stacker" destroyer-finds itself in full retreat from pursuit by Japanese battleships. Its captain, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, knows that he and his crew are in dire straits. In desperation, he heads Walker into a squall, hoping it will give them cover-and emerges somewhere else.
Familiar landmarks appear, but the water teems with monstrous, vicious fish. And there appear to be dinosaurs grazing on the plains of Bali. Gradually Matt and his crew must accept the fact that they are in an alternate world-and they are not alone. Humans have not evolved, but two other species have. And they are at war.
With its steam power and weaponry, the Walker's very existence could alter the balance of power. And for Matt and his crew, who have the means to turn a primitive war into a genocidal Armageddon, one thing becomes clear: They must decide whose side they're on. Because whoever they choose to side with is the winner.
