The IRS Is Not Off the Hook
Posted on July 17, 2013 by Miri | 77 Comments
During the hearing, Werfel dodged and weaved. He used privacy, potential lawsuits, and personnel issues as excuses for why he couldn't explain why, if there was no wrongdoing, some IRS personnel were let go (transferred, retired, shoved out, fired, forced to resign, promoted elsewhere, what have you).
Werfel also used the excuse of the ongoing investigation to evade answering questions. If there may be criminal charges, he wouldn't want to muck things up, would he? He couldn't say how long the investigation would be ongoing. (Past 2016?) He ran out the clock on many rounds of questioning–the representatives were given limited amounts of time during which to try to get to the truth.
Werfel couldn't recall. He didn't know. He wasn't at the agency when that happened. He didn't have that information at hand. He wasn't aware of that. He very frequently didn't have a "distinct recollection" of something. He didn't understand the question.
There's no evidence to support that. (Is he looking? Did he look? Will he look? This is typical Democrat evasion: There's no evidence until there is. See "Monica Lewinsky" and "blue dress". In a lawyerly world, if there's no evidence brought to light, then it didn't happen, even if it did. If you don't look for or find the evidence, then it didn't happen, in their world.)
Werfel didn't find any "intentional" targeting. Another dodge. "What difference, at this point, does it make" whether or not the targeting was intentional? It's the EFFECT of the targeting that's the problem. The violation of these groups' constitutional right to participate on an equal basis in the political process is the problem.
As of the date of that hearing, nobody from the IRS or the FBI had interviewed anyone belonging to the discriminated-against groups! What kind of investigation ignores the victims?
If Werfel doesn't understand the effect of the targeting, then how can he fix the problem? How does he even know what the problem is? HOW will he restore the public trust, as he promised to do? He's definitely not off to a good start, especially by participating in black propaganda, seemingly at the behest of the administration.
During the hearing, Werfel originally stated that nobody at the White House (WH) reviewed his misleading report in advance; but then he immediately backtracked, mentioning that he and Obama had specifically discussed Werfel's conclusion that there's "no evidence" of political influence.
[Rep. Tim] Griffin: Did anyone at the White House review this statement?
Werfel: No.
Griffin: No one?
Werfel: Not that I'm aware of.
Griffin: Okay. Anyone at Treasury?
Werfel: Yes… And let me just say, I did brief the President a few hours before the report went out – on the morning the report was issued – on Monday – and I did mention this conclusion. I just wanted to make sure that was clear.
It was wise of him to remember not to let his original two responses stand, because the WH had already issued a press release noting that Obama was "briefed" on the report. Treasury Secretary Lew was present at that briefing, too.
Obviously, the Obama administration was keeping close tabs on how Werfel was going to spin (whirl) his report. How to explain his original response, though? Does he not consider the president to be among "anyone at the White House?" We know that some claim that Obama uses a "hidden hand" to run things, while others believe someone else is actually the power behind the Oval Office, but for Werfel to initially not include Obama as being "anyone at the White House?" Now that's passing strange.
Does this situation remind you of the numerous iterations of the Benghazi talking points? We begin to see a pattern of a supposedly hands-off president micromanaging how SCANDALS are spun, all to protect himself politically.
Early on in this scandal, Obama falsely stated that the IRS is an "independent agency." Yet former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the WH 157 times over the period of Tea Party persecution, according to the WH visitor log. Shulman's chief of staff visited the WH as many as 310 times, according to the same log. Both facts suggest that something going on at the IRS was being very closely monitored by the Obama administration during the campaign, despite that Obama pretended to be hands off with regard to this "independent agency."
Perhaps most egregious, during the hearing Werfel seemed to blame the victims by stating that when their applications were sent to political limbo, when they were being systematically targeted and denied the ability to participate in the 2010-2012 campaigns, they should have complained to the IRS! According to Werfel's report, they should have used the Taxpayer Advocate Service.
Speaking of the Taxpayer Advocate: Not long after Werfel's report came out, the advocate (Nina Olson) issued a report of her own, in which she concluded that
the tax agency's Exempt Organizations unit trampled on eight of 10 rights in her Taxpayers Bill of Rights.
"Today, the IRS is an institution in crisis," wrote Olson, who heads a semi-independent unit of the IRS that looks out for taxpayer interests. "As a consequence of this crisis, the IRS gives limited consideration to taxpayer rights or fundamental tax administration principles as it struggles to get its job done." …
The IRS is supposed to report to the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) any time there's a delay of more than 30 days beyond normal processing times, or any time there's a systemic breakdown. The Exempt Organizations unit did neither — instead arguing that taxpayer advocates weren't necessary.
Why didn't the IRS refer these delays to the Taxpayer Advocate? Anyone care to hazard a guess?
To illustrate that this scandal isn't going away, despite Mr. Whirl's yeoman-like attempt to bury it, another hearing is scheduled for tomorrow:
Thursday's Oversight Committee hearing on the IRS's targeting of tea-party groups is likely to be a showdown between Internal Revenue Service officials based in Washington, D.C., and a Cincinnati agent who accused them of micromanaging her work. Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa is calling Washington lawyers Carter Hull and Steven Grodnitzky as well as a Cincinnati-based agent, Elizabeth Hofacre, to testify on Thursday, according to a congressional source. …
The witnesses called to the hearing reflect the shift in the committee's investigation away from the IRS's Cincinnati office and toward the agency's headquarters in Washington. Questions from lawmakers are likely to focus on who in D.C. asked that tea-party applications be elevated for review, who wrote and approved the intrusive questions sent to so many groups, and why their applications were not processed efficiently.
A full list of witnesses will be found here. CSPAN should carry the proceedings live. Stay tuned. But in breaking news:
Top House committee chairmen said Wednesday [today] that they have learned that the IRS sent some tea party groups' applications for tax-exempt status through special scrutiny at the direction of agency officials in Washington, in a revelation that appears to confirm political targeting.
The committee chairmen released partial excerpts of interviews with IRS employees that show they were prepared to rule on some of the tea party groups' applications, but Lois Lerner, an official at the root of the investigation, overruled them and instead created the complex and intrusive inquiries that have become the center of a Washington scandal.
Carter Hull, a tax law specialist with 48 years of experience at the IRS, said he was told to send some of the applications to the IRS' chief counsel's office. The chief counsel is one of two political appointees in the IRS. …
[E]very group with "tea party," "patriot" or "9/12" in its name was subject to special scrutiny by the IRS.

Good point, Papoose. I forgot the link to Biden.
"More than two years after her upstart Senate campaign rocked the Delaware political world, Christine O'Donnell got an unexpected contact from a U.S. Treasury Department agent warning that her private tax records may have been breached.
The phone message earlier this year shocked the battled-scarred candidate, a tea party favorite who knocked off Republican mainstay Michael Castle in the primary before losing in a bid to win Vice President Joseph R. Biden's former seat. …
Now Mr. Martel, a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on that very same day. Beyond that, Ms. O'Donnell and Senate investigators who have tried to help her have run into a wall of silence, leaving more questions than answers about whether abuses of the IRS system extend to private individuals and not just the tax-exempt groups already identified as victims. …
Investigators for Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, an influential Republican who serves on the Finance and Judiciary committees, have uncovered one key issue: a backdoor system in which state officials can access Americans' private tax records in the name of investigating with little oversight or accountability. …
But the Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the offenders. Treasury officials have refused to give Mr. Grassley any specifics on the cases or to describe the disposition of Ms. O'Donnell's case, claiming even people who improperly access tax records have an assumption of privacy under federal tax laws. …"
She was also TARGETED for the same Alinsky tactics the left and the media, too, used against GOVERNOR Sarah Palin. Remember? Both of them were dumb bimbos.
This is a great find, Papoose. TY. Check out this part; doesn't it sound so very familiar?
"Ms. O'Donnell has spent the past six months trying to find out more about what happened to her personally, with little success.
Investigators have told her the probe has been closed, without offering an explanation. Ms. O'Donnell's attempts to get records about the possible misuse of her tax files through Freedom of Information Act requests have been delayed or denied. …"
More: "She fought through a three-year audit into her personal finances that ended with her repaying $1,100 to the federal government. Family and friends also were subjected to audits, though they were cleared, she said.
She had been warned that such events were possible.
As she was considering a Senate run, Ms. O'Donnell said she was told by a prominent political figure in Delaware that if she challenged Mr. Castle, the IRS and others would "F with her head."
Ms. O'Donnell said she has reason to believe her political opponents were behind the scheme.
"An official with this investigation told me that there was evidence linking this inappropriate use of my tax records with the Delaware political leadership, Delaware political leaders on both sides of the aisle," she said, though she declined to identify the official with whom she spoke."
Nothing about this in my local paper or the other national paper I read daily. Gee, isn't THIS news? Imagine if this were, say, Hillary Clinton's or Barack Obama's tax records. Note the reference to "both sides of the aisle." The story talks about Karl Rove. Remember how the DemoncRATS and the likes of Rove teamed up to demonize the Tea Party?

"Delaware officials admit tax snooping; won't identify Christine O'Donnell as target
The director of Delaware's tax-collection office said Friday that his agency accessed the federal tax records in 2010 of an unnamed taxpayer, believed to be former GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell.
Patrick Carter, director of the state's division of revenue, would not identify Ms. O'Donnell as the taxpayer but said he approved the inquiry "for routine purposes."
"A state Division of Revenue investigator accessed records on or after March 20, 2010 following information that came to the attention of the division," Mr. Carter said in a statement. "The record access led the state revenue investigator to conclude there was no basis for further state investigation of a taxpayer and no action was taken by the state Division of Revenue against the taxpayer." …"
Right. Perhaps so, but they SAW what they WANTED TO SEE on the pretext of a "routine purpose." And to whom was said information transmitted, if anyone? http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20130719/NEWS02/130719020/Delaware-officials-defend-decision-access-Christine-O-Donnell-s-tax-records?nclick_check=1
"… Patrick Carter, director of the Delaware Division of Revenue in the state Finance Department, says he approved access to a taxpayer's federal records for "routine" purposes and was questioned by a federal investigator on the matter earlier this year. State tax auditor David Smith was the official who accessed the records, Carter said. …"
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/23/records-of-christine-odonnell-tax-snooping-disappe/ OUTRAGEOUS, BUT NOT SURPRISING. What hasn't been disappeared when it threatens to harm Barry and his DemoncRAT allies?
"Records of Christine O'Donnell tax snooping disappear
Delaware state officials have told Congress that they likely destroyed the computer records that would show when and how often they accessed Christine O'Donnell's personal tax records and acknowledged that a newspaper article was used as the sole justification for snooping into the former GOP Senate candidate's tax history.
The revelations to Sen. Chuck Grassley's office came Tuesday as the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration, the government's chief watchdog for the Internal Revenue Service, formally reopened its investigation into the matter by re-interviewing Ms. O'Donnell.
"It is an active investigation now," Ms. O'Donnell told The Washington Times after meeting with the same Treasury agent who first informed her in January that her tax records were improperly accessed. …
"The state says it looked at Ms. O'Donnell's federal records because of a newspaper article describing a federal tax lien against her," Mr. Grassley said. "Does the state look at every taxpayer who faces a federal lien or only those who happen to appear in a newspaper article? Is it routine for a state employee to email his boss about looking at a taxpayer's records on a Saturday, when the article appeared? It's hard to evaluate what happened in the O'Donnell case without answering these questions, and I'll continue to work to get more information.""
They should just subpoena the records from the NSA.
WOW! I guess we now know at least one of the political candidates who was targeted by the IRS and I guess it's JUST A COINCIDENCE that she's a Tea Partier:
"… [T]he U.S. Treasury Department told Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that at least four politicians had their private information examined improperly by the IRS.
Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell said she is one of them. She said the day she announced her run for the U.S. Senate in 2010, the government placed a tax lien on her house.
The problem is she didn't own the house at the time. The IRS later withdrew the lien, calling it a "computer glitch." ["inadvertent mistake?"]
But in January, O'Donnell was informed by a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department that her records had been improperly accessed on the day she decided to run. [So it ought to be easy to find the IRS EMPLOYEE cum DemoncRAT plant who did this, but I'm guessing this is the case that HOLDER of the DOJ decided not to prosecute, as was mentioned in yesterday's hearing. I hope Grassley gets to the bottom of this.]
O'Donnell claimed she had been warned that if she ran for Senate, the IRS would "(expletive) her head."
"Whether it's one, eight or 80 (cases), it's an abuse of power at the IRS. It's using the IRS as a political weapon, and that shouldn't be done," O'Donnell told The Washington Times. "
http://aclj.org/free-speech-2/aclj-calls-testimony-linking-irs-targeting-irs-chief-counsel-extremely-disturbing
"… Rep. Darrell Issa – chairman of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform – released a letter detailing testimony from Carter Hull, a now-retired Washington tax specialist who was responsible for providing guidance on reviewing tax-exempt applications for Tea Party groups. Hull told Congressional investigators that Lois Lerner, Director of Exempt Organizations who is now on paid leave, directed that the Tea Party applications be sent directly to the office of IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins for specific review and examination prior to the 2010 election.
"This is one of the most extremely disturbing revelations yet," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "It is now clear that the IRS Chief Counsel, appointed by President Obama in 2009, was involved in examining and reviewing applications from Tea Party groups – many that were basically shut out of the 2010 election process because of delays in handling of their applications. This development raises significant questions about what the White House knew and when. In a politically charged run-up to the 2010 election, why was one of President Obama's most trusted and partisan appointees involved in examining the applications for Tea Party groups? We look forward to tomorrow's testimony [now over] and further information about the origins of this unlawful and unconstitutional scheme that violated the First Amendment rights of our clients." …"
That letter linked above asks for priority attention to their requests for all communications between the IRS, the IRS Counsel's office, and THE WH.
http://aclj.org/free-speech-2/irs-scandal-escalates
"… IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins is a direct political appointee of President Obama in 2009 and significantly calls into question the Obama Administration's ever evolving timeline of who knew what when, but even more importation who directed and orchestrated the targeting of the Tea Party.
President Obama's IRS claimed IRS Chief Counsel, one of two politically appointed IRS positions, was not aware of the IRS targeting until this year. Yet, testimony from multiple IRS lawyers in Washington, D.C., released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform now directly implicate IRS Chief Counsel's office. According to multiple IRS attorneys in D.C., including tax law specialist Carter Hull, who oversaw the review of the Tea Party cases, Lois Lerner, former Director at the Exempt Organizations Division, and her top advisor directed that certain Tea Party applications as part of a "test" group be sent to her office and IRS Chief Counsel for review in the winter of 2010-2011.
Chief Counsel's office, after months more of delay, then demanded Mr. Hull make further inquiries of the Tea Party. According to the testimony, it was Chief Counsel's office that was demanding to know more information about the conservative groups' activities "right before the [2010] election period. In other words, immediately before."
In addition, the testimony indicates that the Chief Counsel's office was heavily involved in preparing a template for handling these cases, something Mr. Hull testified was impractical "because these organizations, all of them are different. A template wouldn't work." Yet, as he testified, a template was prepared by someone in Chief Counsel's office in conjunction with other tax law specialists. Even more disturbing he testified that after three years, IRS Chief Counsel's office had not made a determination about these "test" Tea Party cases, even though in 2011, Mr. Hull had all the information he needed to make a recommendation as to their request for tax-exempt status. …"
In a way, I'm very glad that someone of the caliber of Jay Sekulow is now experiencing the kind of stonewalling that we "birthers" have experienced in trying to pry information out of this administration. Also with the "scrubbing" of information from the record. Maybe he and others like Gowdy will have the ability to crack this nut.

Yes, but note the media blackout. There can BE no "scandal" with no coverage, and Barry's a master at inveigling the media to look the other way and at giving them plenty of distractions–like an impromptu speech about Trayvon Martin.

"Exclusive: IRS watchdog reviewing claims of improper audit of Tea Party farmer
The IRS's internal watchdog is reviewing allegations that the agency improperly audited a Tea Party owner of a small Virginia farm whose repeated clashes with a local environmental group and the county over zoning laws have made her a cause celebre for property-rights advocates. …
Amid the publicity, Boneta last year also received notice of an IRS audit – an audit she believes is directly related to her disagreements with the environmental group and the county and is intended to frighten her into backing down.
"The audit had the effect of really scaring me," she told the Washington Examiner. "If that was the intention, it worked. I was terrified. The auditor asked me questions that were uniquely related to my litigation with Fauquier County and the Piedmont Environmental Council. If not collusion, how could this be possible?"
A spokesman for the PEC said the group has nothing to do with the zoning issues she was having nor the audit. …"

Goal Setting Unlocked: How to Set Goals and CRUSH THEM!
It's easy to log onto Instagram and get instantly inspired by all of the inspirational messages and quotes that keep getting recycled throughout Instagram. It's also easy to go to a seminar and get hyped over the great motivational speeches provided by the overpaid motivational speakers.
What isn't easy is staying motivated day after day, failure after failure, despite how you feel when you wake up in the morning. It's not easy to continue following your dreams and goals when you have no support or when people keep projecting their fears onto you, telling you it's "hard" or "unattainable".
Goal setting is also easy. It's easy to write something down that you feel strongly about or just really want to do. The hard part is following through, day after day.
The truth about goal setting is that it takes commitment. You've got to make a commitment to your commitments. You have to chase your dreams, no matter what. If you have to wake up in the morning at 5 am just to get all of your goals accomplished for the day, then do it.
SO! DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SET GOALS AND CRUSH THEM?
Create an Action Plan– Aside from writing down your goals, it's important to also create small action steps that will lead you toward accomplishing the goal.
Action steps will allow you to see the steps that you have to take and make the goal seem less overwhelming and more attainable.
Give your Goals Deadlines – Without a deadline, a goal isn't a goal; it's just a wish. By giving yourself a deadline, you're telling yourself that this is important and that it has to be done by a certain day and time.
If you don't give your goals a deadline, then there's no sense of urgency to get the goal accomplished. It's simple something you wrote down that you seem to want.
Create a Reward System – Now, don't go overboard with this one! Make sure the rewards you're giving yourself are on the same level as the goal.
You kind of want to give yourself a reasonable reward for the goal that you accomplish. So, for that goal accomplished, you could treat yourself to breakfast at your favorite café or pub.
Create a Goal Tracker – I've made the habit of tracking my goals because I like to see how far I've come and look back to be proud. It also reminds me that I can do anything I put my mind and pen to.
Creating a goal tracker is very easy. Simply create a table in Microsoft Word and in the top row of tabs, give yourself a date column, goal column and any other tabs you'd like to add that will help you keep track of your goals.
Hold Yourself Accountable – This may be one of the hardest things to do, but it is possible! You have to disciplined and you have to be committed to your goals. Make sure you're waking up early every day, getting things done, checking off tasks on your list and taking action steps toward your goals.
If it's not possible for you to be accountable to yourself, then try finding an accountability partner who will hold you accountable for getting your goals accomplished. They should definitely be accountable themselves before holding you accountable.
Create Yearly Goals – Yearly goals will help give you an overview of what you want to accomplish throughout the year. Once you've created them, it's easy to set the actionable goals and stem down to monthly and then weekly.
Acknowledge Your Shortcomings –It's extremely important to know and acknowledge your shortcomings. Once you identify your weaknesses, you can combat them instead of letting them become your downfall.
Once you acknowledge what it is that causes you to be unproductive, you'll be able to combat these weaknesses and get your goals crushed!
Now that you have the tools to become successful, get out there and CRUSH some goals!

92ZEW is thrilled to add ATO Records' artist and New Orleanian, Benjamin Booker, to its fall lineup of Free Concerts. Booker will be playing the annual Soul Kitchen/92ZEW Halloween Bash. Yet another new ZEW artist that music critics are buzzing about.
Benjamin Booker's self-titled debut album is out now on ATO Records. Benjamin Booker is a young New Orleans based singer-songwriter, influenced by The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex.
When Benjamin Booker played Lollapalooza, Rolling Stone named him the weekend's Best Rock Star Moment ("though Lollapalooza is always filled with countless rock acts, Booker may have been the strongest and most refreshing"). When he played Newport Folk Fest, Billboard named him the second best performance of the entire event ("a tight, raucous set that comes with enough well-placed gaps in the riffage onslaught to highlight his searching, soulful lyrics"). When he toured opening for Jack White, Jack brought him back out during his own set for a show-closing guitar duel.

The manager of a rehabilitation centre where a man died despite the efforts of paramedics has blasted a resident who left a moaning note on an ambulance.
The 42-year-old, who was 'vomiting blood', died after being rushed to hospital with 'massive internal bleeding'.
The service said the ambulance was at the scene for no longer than 30 minutes.
The patient had been at Livingstone House, a charity and rehabilitation centre for drug and alcohol addicts, for three months.
Centre manager John Hagans said the man's family had been made to feel 'fifty times worse' after discovering the note had been left on the ambulance sent to help their son.
He said: 'They are absolutely horrified. They said it's hard enough as it is, with the loss.
'The man's father said to me that it has just made it 50 times worse. The man had been clean for three months before he collapsed.
'He was making active changes to change his life. He was somebody who had made poor choices but was now making the right ones.
Paramedics battled to save a man while mean-spirited neighbours left this note moaning about the ambulance blocking their driveway - he later died in hospital.
West Midlands paramedic Tasha Starkey sat with a colleague at the rear of an emambulance.
Mr Hagan added: 'One of these days, heaven forbid that the man who left the note or his family might need an ambulance. He would shut down all of Small Heath to get an ambulance through.
'We do have a problem with parking but on this particular day, the ambulance was parked down an alley and wasn't blocking anywhere.
'Ultimately, what kind of individual would be so vitriolic towards an ambulance crew.
Residents in the street say the note was written by a man who 'should know better'.
When the woman was shown the note and asked if she recognised the handwriting, she slammed the door shut.
A neighbour of the man, who did not want to be named, said: 'Everyone says it was this guy (who wrote the note). If it was then he should know better.
John Hagans, a nurse consultant at the charity, said they were 'disgusted' by the note.
He said: 'Words fail me. This person deserves to be shamed. If the person who wrote it had had any idea of what was going on inside, they would not have dared.
'The resident collapsed in the home and was vomiting blood and our nurses and the ambulance crew battled extremely hard to save him.
'His condition was so severe they could not move the ambulance for half an hour because they were fighting so hard to save him.
'In that situation no ambulance crew should have to worry about annoying others because of parking. It's ridiculous.
'One of our staff members who was trying to help them spotted the note when they brought him to the ambulance. We were left completely stunned.
'What's worse is that another driver was trapped on an alleyway that runs down the back of our property for over 40 minutes.
The patient passed away at Heartlands Hospital on Friday evening.
Several residents on the street in the Small Heath area of Birmingham expressed their disgust at the note.
Anamaria Dunne said: 'I did not see the ambulance come but my husband did. He said there was nowhere else it could go.
'It's not nice that they left the note when the ambulance crew is trying to save someone's life.
Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: 'It's a ridiculous situation here. You see arguments in the streets about it sometimes.
'In a way I'm not surprised someone left an angry note, even though it is shocking to do it to an ambulance.
Paramedic Clinical Team Mentor Sam Grimson wrote: 'One of our crews encountered this delightful note after assisting a patient suffering a major internal bleed! The crew were not on scene long due to how poorly the patient was.
'We always try to park appropriately but sometimes it is not possible.'West Midlands Ambulance Service tweeted: 'Sometimes we just don't know what to say. This was the note left on an ambulance today. At the time, the crew were helping a man who was extremely unwell after vomiting blood.
In a second separate incident over the weekend, the service was targeted by another angry resident understood to be complaining about an ambulance being parked in a place that prevented their car from moving.
West Midlands Police also tweeted that a marked police vehicle had been damaged at a Remembrance Sunday event and its windscreen smashed..

Nearly everyone would like whiter, brighter teeth, and this is particularly true as you age. As enamel wears away and your teeth begin to look stained, you may feel as though your smile is no longer an asset. Fortunately, teeth whitening can help you get back a whiter, more youthful smile that will increase your self-confidence.
Your teeth can become discolored over the years for several reasons, including the wearing away of enamel, consuming certain foods or beverages like coffee, tea, or wine, taking certain medications, or using tobacco products.
Teeth whitening is performed to help remove stains and discoloration from teeth, so you can achieve a whiter, brighter smile. It will need to be repeated from time to time in order to maintain the whitening effect.
Results are seen quickly after the whitening product is applied to your teeth and is followed with heat, light, or a combination of the two. This treatment may require more than one visit.
Generally, teeth whitening that's performed under a dentist's supervision can make your teeth whiter and provide more predictable results since you're under a dentist's care.
Your dentist can ensure that the products you use are of the proper strength and that your gums are protected during the teeth whitening procedure. At home teeth whitening can get on your gums and in some cases, cause burning and irritation.
Allows you to make a better first impression at job interviews, parties, etc.
If you are interested in teeth whitening and would like more information, make an appointment today or call our office at 860-667-2600. At Cedar Mountain Dental, our team is committed to providing high-quality care for all your dental needs.

2015 Oregon Book Award Finalist
Sorrow Arrow by Emily Kendal Frey
Sorrow Arrow introduces us to a speaker that's wry and full of swagger, but vulnerable too and fighting for a way to optimally interact with her surroundings. Youth-haunted, love-haunted, body-haunted and death-freaked, she engages the world (and her reader) as if fixed behind a thick pane of glass.
Emily Kendal Frey is the author of the full-length poetry collection The Grief Performance (Cleveland State University Poetry Center, 2011); the chapbooks Frances (Poor Claudia, 2010), The New Planet (Mindmade Books, 2010), and Airport (Blue Hour, 2009); as well as three chapbook collaborations. Frey's The Grief Performance was selected for the Cleveland State Poetry Center's 2010 First Book Prize by Rae Armantrout. She also won the Poetry Society of America's 2012 Norma Farber First Book Award.
Excerpt from Sorrow Arrow:
My relationship to the unknown is in peril
A field of baking elephant shit
Love makes me permeable
The softest hurricane
Tiny computers are breaking into the clouds
Arrows are raining down
In line for breakfast I fuck the ground
I get inside the mail box and bang around
Information equals empathy erosion
You want the boy/girl splayed on the runway
The berry in your pocket melts
Hold still to let it bleed down your leg
Small Press Book Review
"She writes of fear, grief and sorrow in a straightforward and fearless way, and explores dark emotions head-on… There is something about the way Frey writes that is powerful, skimming the surface of pessimism but never quite falling into the depths, striking out with a precision that is cut-throat and calm, flailing wild and pinpoint, letting line upon line pile up against each other like firewood. Her poems read as notebook entries or collage-works, and what makes her poems so powerful is in the way she manages to pack so much into short phrase-lines, each one as forceful as a physical blow."
Poetry Northwest
"Frey excels at crassness, bluntness, concision. She's simple in her language, straightforward and unabashed and genuine in conveying her speaker's hate and love (and she operates almost exclusively at these spectrum ends—nothing is dull, nothing is hesitant. Everything gives off the illusion of certainness even if you as the reader are being tricked.). One line slaps the face red—the next socks you in the gut."

Pak PM Imran Khan to meet President Trump twice during US visit
Islamabad, Sep 13 (PTI) Prime Minister Imran Khan will have two meetings with President Donald Trump later this month during his visit to the US where the Pakistani premier will also attend his first UNGA session, according to a media report.
According to Khan's schedule, the first meeting between both the leaders will be at lunch, whereas, the other will be at high tea, Geo News reported.
The prime minister's schedule of meetings during his stay in the States has been finalised, the report said.
Khan will arrive in New York on September 21 to attend the 74th session of the UN General Assembly. He will address the UNGA on September 27.
It would be his first UNGA session since he assumed office in August 2018.
He is also scheduled to hold talks with world leaders and apprise them about the tense situation in Kashmir after India revoked the region's special status on August 5.
This would be Khan's second visit to the US.
In July, PM Khan held a one-on-one meeting with Trump during which he offered to be the "mediator" between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.
Trump, who is known to make inaccurate statements, had claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him to mediate on the Kashmir issue.
However, the Indian government had denied President Trump's astonishing claim that Modi had asked him to mediate.
Tensions between India and Pakistan spiked after India abrogated provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir's special status and bifurcated it into two Union Territories, evoking strong reactions from Pakistan.
India has categorically told the international community that the scrapping of Article 370 was an internal matter and also advised Pakistan to accept the reality.

The automotive landscape is filled with all manner of vehicles. There are performance cars, utility vehicles and luxury cars just to name a few. But perhaps the most off-center are lifestyle vehicles – cars that are made to target incredibly specific demographics. The 2008 Honda Element is a lifestyle car if there ever was one, and from the get-go has been marketed as a new age utility for outdoorsy young people concerned with the size of their carbon footprint – sort of like a greener version of the Nissan Xterra. For the most part, the Element delivers the goods, too, providing a lot of utilitarian bang for the buck with its multitude of seating options and massive cargo space. Furthermore, a solid list of standard features, good fuel economy and legendary Honda reliability make this a utilitarian car that won't run your bank account dry.
A mind-boggling 64 seating options give the Element interior versatility unlike anything else on the market, and water-resistant fabric contributes to the outdoor lifestyle appeal of this car. Available all-wheel drive is a useful option for those who need the car for winter driving.
The rearview mirror combines with the tinted rear window to create poor vision out the back, and due to a driver's seat that doesn't lower very far, the diving position can be awkward for taller drivers.
From the driver's seat, the Element feels massive with its high roofline and tall, thick A-pillars. The dash sits in front of the driver as a massive, flat expanse that ends at the large, nearly vertical windshield. Despite its somewhat unruly appearance, the Element is easily handled thanks to a light steering rack. The five-speed manual has a light, easy clutch and the 2.4-liter engine is happy to rev with either transmission, doing its best work above 4,500 rpm and easily providing enough power for freeway passing. In the SC, the lower and stiffer suspension can be relatively uncomfortable over worn and uneven city surfaces, though it does feel taught on smooth highways.
The Element is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 166 horsepower and 161 lb-ft of torque. It can be fitted with either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, which drives the front-wheels in SC guise. Don't be discouraged if you're looking for all-wheel drive though – Honda sells both LX and EX models equipped with a four-wheel system.
The Element SC comes with a lot of upgrades befitting of its young, hip demeanor, including a copper-colored instrument panel, "tattoo print" patterned seat fabric, 18-inch wheels and a 270-watt, seven-speaker sound system with MP3 compatibility and an auxiliary audio input jack. A security system is also available as an add-on. Honda offers plenty of accessories for the Element, most of which are inline with the car's active lifestyle mantra, including items such as kayak, snowboard and surfboard racks, as well as several different interior cargo organizers.
All Element models come standard with Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist system, which uses sensors to monitor the car's handling and applies the brakes as necessary should you overstep the car's limits. Four-wheel ABS also comes standard, as does a tire pressure monitoring system. The engine is equipped with Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing for an optimum mixture of power and dollar-saving fuel efficiency.
Thanks to its relatively lightweight design and four-cylinder LEV-II engine, the Element returns good fuel economy, yielding 20-mpg city and 25-mpg highway when paired with an automatic transmission. Manual transmissions deliver slightly less, netting 18-mpg city and 23-mpg highway.
The Element SC gets a flashier interior than the LX and EX models, with copper-colored accents and gauges. Driver's sit above the long, flat dash as one would expect to in a minivan. The Element is crammed with storage bins, feeling very utilitarian.
From the outside, the Element's tall, boxy and generally unorthodox design looks part van, part CR-V crossover, but lends itself to a large, airy interior. The Element SC gets larger rims with low-profile tires as well as a lowered ride height, giving it a more urban, modern appearance.
Element pricing starts at $18,980 for a standard front-wheel drive model and increases to $22,775 for the SC. Element accessories weigh in at a few hundred dollars each, so don't expect to pay too much over $24,000 even if you get generous with the options sheet. This puts the Element in the ring with a wide range of competitors such as the Chevrolet HHR, Ford Escape, Dodge Journey, Subaru Forrester and Saturn Vue.
The Honda Element might have a somewhat quirky personality, but it certainly maintains its ultimate goal of being a practical, eco-friendly car for those who lead active lives. If you're the kind of car owner who likes to have options, the dozens of possible seating combinations should keep you satisfied, and four-cylinder fuel economy and a relatively low base price only add to the car's appeal.

We have games and various fun activities planned. Of course music will be provided by a section of the Woburn Sands Band plus a Celidh band and other music groups during the afternoon.

Oh and by the way this is our big fund raiser for St Michaels, we need to keep our lovely old church going in the community so please support us and put something in the bucket when your there.
We are having a handbag and scarf stall, we would ask if everyone could supply an item for this stall. We are also having a jar stall and ask if every one could simply fill a jam jar with items of their choice sweets, little toys etc. Let your imagination run wild! A selection of jars with different fillings can be seen at the back if the church. We are holding a bottle tombola stall as well. If you could donate a bottle we would be very grateful. It can be anything from a bottle of sauce, shampoo, wine etc. There will be a box at the back of the church for your bottles. These can all be done in advance and handed in.
This is a chance for the family of St Michael's to make our Fun Day a real success.
just text us if you're able to help.

Linda Halterman Krueger
Linda Halterman Krueger, 77, of Nashville, Tennessee, passed away on March 30, 2021, after a short illness. Linda, born in Gary, Indiana, on July 25, 1943, married Glenn Lee Krueger in 1983, and made her home in Texas prior to his passing in 2000. She was the daughter of Austin O. Halterman and Hazel (Peeler) Halterman. Education, especially the transformative power of public schooling, was Linda's passion. She was a proud graduate of Purdue University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Secondary School Education in 1965. A true Boilermaker in heart and spirit, she enjoyed a good basketball game, brimming with joy with any victory over the rival team to the south. More than anything, Linda was a Mom who passed along to her son the importance of a great education and a love of the written word. Linda was a woman of strong Christian faith and courage. In the latter years of her life, while confronting a variety of medical challenges, she would share a smile and a laugh in even the most difficult of circumstances. She'll be remembered as someone who bore her pain with the highest level of dignity and strength. A free spirit of the '60s era, Linda wasn't much for being hemmed in and lived for the adventure of something new. To this end, Linda lived in 8 different states during her lifetime. Her favorite activity was road tripping to wherever the moment of wander would take her. While she never made it to Paris, France, she was able to venture to Paris, Tennessee, and Paris, Texas, and that was Just Fine with her. There's no doubt that her journey home will be her best road trip ever. Both parents preceded her in death, as did her older brother, David A. Halterman. Also preceding Mrs. Krueger were her best friends, Nancy Gresham, Bettey Prout, and Ethel Quasny. Survivors include her son, Jeff (Courtney) Quasny, of Mount Juliet, Tennessee; her sister-in-law Kathryn Halterman, of Crown Point, Indiana; nieces Beth and Sarah Halterman; as well as numerous cousins. Mrs. Krueger's family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at Fifty Forward Nashville as well as Trevecca Healthcare & Rehab Center, where she resided for the past 3 ½ years. A Graveside Service will be held at Campground Cemetery on Friday, April 16 at 11a.m. with Pastor Mark Hasty officiating. Inurnment will follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that remembrances in Linda's honor be made to Fifty Forward Nashville or a charity of one's choice. Crain Funeral Home in Anna-Jonesboro is entrusted with arrangements.
