Difference between revisions of "Shawnee"
Revision as of 04:54, 15 May 2006
Shawnee is in the Frontier Country region of Oklahoma.
While normally not on the sight-seeing itinerary of those who do not know someone already living there, Shawnee could prove to be an interesting day trip.
In recent days, Shawnee has become increasingly known for its numerous Native American casinos.
Get in
By Car
Practically the only method of getting in or out of Shawnee is on the highway. Taxi cabs can be hired by calling a taxi service to have them pick you up, although doing so from another city could prove expensive.
There are no rental car agencies in Shawnee or at Shawnee Airport, so car rentals must be made before hand. Many times this is done at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
Most traffic enters and exits Shawnee via Interstate Highway I-40, although State Highway 3 and US Highway 177 pass through Shawnee as well.
By Bus
Greyhound buses make daily stops in front of the American Colony motel on the far north side of Shawnee.
From there you will have to either call a taxi or arrange another form of pickup.
By Train
Originally established as a railroad hub, Shawnee still has many infrequently used rail tracks. While logistically difficult as well as illegal, it could be feasible to stow aboard a freight car inbound to Shawnee. Not recommended.
By Plane
Chartered flights can be aquired to fly you in to Shawnee airport, most likely originating from Oklahoma City or Tulsa. There are no commercial flight charter services based in Shawnee, so arrangments for your eventual pickup would have to be made as well.
On Foot
While towns in Oklahoma are quite spread out, some have been known to hitchhike especially along I-40. Not preferred.
Get around
If you are a tourist, getting around in Shawnee means either calling a taxi cab service to pick you up or using a rental car.
Shawnee is very, very spread out and if you will quickly abandon any thoughts of walking if you ever want to get where you're going.
Historical Places of Interest
Downtown Shawnee
Many old buildings from Shawnee's early years still remain, although most have changed facade and/or fallen into disrepair.
Warning: This site may present a non-neutral point of view on the topic of spending public funds to renovate Downtown Shawnee- a source of local controversy.
Notable Downtown Shawnee Buildings:
In recent years, Shawnee has spent over a million dollars "revitalizing" a three block section of Bell Street, one of Shawnee's oldest roads and site of the Aldrige Hotel and former Round House® Building.
Visitable improvements consist of:
Note: This use of funds has proved controversial.
Public Parks
Since Shawnee's many public parks are used infrequently by locals, a quiet and serene environment can usually be expected.
(Exceptions noted below)
"Cruising the Poo"
a.k.a. "Croozing the Poo"
This is one of the most common entertainment venues for tourists, and a local tradition that has been going on for more than 50 years, is known to residents as "Cruising the Poo". (Note: "Poo" is short for Shawnee's Kickapoo Street.)
Those wishing to "Cruise the Poo" generally enter Shawnee in groups leaving their home town via car, or more often, pickup truck. Once in Shawnee, these "Poo Cruiser" park in front of local businesses that are closed for the evening- generally in the mid to north side of Kickapoo Street.
Once there, a Poo Cruiser will meet and interact with visitors from other towns who have parked close by, although it is common for groups from the same town to merely interact amongst themselves and/or passing cars of other Poo Cruisers or Shawnee locals.
Unfortunately, underage drinking is known to occur, sometimes accompanied by drunken arguments and fisticuffs. Whether instigated by members of another group of Poo Cruisers, or by Shawnee locals passing by (who have been known to make derogatory and/or offensive comments toward Poo Cruisers), these activities are swiftly and handily halted by local police on neighborhood patrol.
Pooh Cruising activities mainly start around sundown on Friday and Saturday nights.
Note: While participants of "Poo Cruising" are generally youth from nearby communitiies, Cruising the Poo is always open to the general public, and many Shawnee locals get involved as well.
Shawnee's Twin Lakes
Shawnee's Twin Lakes offer enjoyable avocation and adventure to anyone who likes to experience the outdoors and water related leisure.
One lake is reserved for fishing and angling.
Its counterpart lake is for those who wish to swim or take part in non fishing related activities such as water skiing, jet skiing, or drinking. (Consuming alcohol while fishing can be dangerous to yourself and those around you; it is strongly discouraged.)
(Note: Due to pervasive droughts and low water levels, Shawnee Twin Lakes are often closed during the summer)
18 hole course, Pro Store, and Club House dining available.
18 hole course; usually considered to Shawnee's budget golfing: "Golfing for the price of a gordita", Minature Golf located nearby.
Driving range and batting cages also available.
For a town of close to 30,000, Shawnee offers more than its share of civic, intellectually-exclusive, and intellectually-lacking organizations:
Local Television Favorites
If none of the other activities or locales on this page interest the reader, he or she may be occupied by some of the various local television programming:
Broadcasts Shawnee High School athletics and coach's shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays
The City Government can be watched in what is often referred to as "Shawnee's C-SPAN".
A nightly, live auction show open for any and all.
As a classic example of middle sized town Americana, Shawnee boasts a variety of shopping opportunities , both budget and luxury oriented.
Books & Magazines
Cars and Motor Vehicles
Discount, Thrift, Everything's $1
Home Furnishings
Note: Furniture and used appliances can be found for free in roadside ditches along the outskirts of Shawnee. Cleaning and sanitizing is strongley advised if you choose to go this route.
Music and Recorded Media
Pet Supplies
School/Classroom Supplies
Trophies and Commemorative Decorations
Video and Home Entertainment Rental
Like most towns of any size in Oklahoma, Shawnee is inundated with most of the fast food restaurants you can think of and also has many all-you-can-eat buffets (mostly Chinese food).
Most places to eat are located either on the northern edge of town along interstate highway I-40, sprinkled along Harrison and Kickapoo Street, or downtown on the south side of Shawnee.
You cannot go very far in Shawnee without running into a Sonic Drive-In of which there are 4, Braum's hamburgers and ice-cream (3), McDonald's (3), Arby's roast beef (2), Pizza Hut (2), or a Taco Bell (2).
Shawnee also has many pizza kitchens, although many of these are carry-out/delivery only.
Fast Food Restaurants/Drive-In's
All-You-Can-Eat Buffets
Sit Down Restaurants
Food Court at Shawnee Mall
Donut and Breakfast Pastries
Coffee Shops

WASHINGTON — Massachusetts residents will be able choose among insurance plans offered by 10 companies when a key element of President Obama's health care law takes effect on Oct. 1. But Connecticut residents will be choosing from only three, while New Hampshirites will have just one option.
These are among the disparities — some of which are just now coming to light — that consumers who lack employer-provided plans and are ineligible for Medicare will face as they begin shopping online for health insurance under the federal health reform law.
The differences highlight how the consumer experience will vary widely under health reform, despite the law's intent to make the complex world of health care more transparent, affordable, and equitable. That has led some supporters of the health care law to worry that consumers will be confused and upset by the state-by-state variations, just as the heart of the law — an online portal allowing people to shop for insurance, called a marketplace — is being implemented.
"For consumers in some states, it means there's less choice. It's a real problem because it reduces the competitive pressure on pricing and on other performance criteria," said Jon Kingsdale, who set up the Massachusetts health insurance marketplace under the state's groundbreaking 2006 law and who is now a consultant helping other states start their own marketplaces.
The wide range in the number of insurers reflects the states' varying market conditions. Uncertainty about how the new system will work has led some carriers to postpone participation, especially in states like New Hampshire, which has actively resisted the health care overhaul.
About 10 percent of consumers are expected to buy insurance through the marketplaces for benefits that would start in January. The law requires most Americans to obtain insurance by Jan. 1 or face a financial penalty.
New England's six states reflect the patchwork manner in which the 2010 law is being adopted across the country. In addition to the variable number of insurance options and differences in pricing, consumers will also confront inconsistencies in service and — for low-income residents — coverage, depending upon whether their state officials embrace or reject the health law, known as "Obamacare."
Lawmakers in Maine and New Hampshire have been the region's most hostile opponents of the federal law.
In Maine, Republican state officials have refused to set up the required online insurance marketplace, so the task is being left to the federal government, as the law allows. Maine is one of 27 states that have pushed the responsibility of setting up a marketplace onto federal officials.
The federal government is also taking a partial role in running insurance marketplaces in seven additional states including New Hampshire, bringing the total number of states with some Washington involvement to 34.
Consumer advocates said the federal government is overwhelmed by the challenge of implementing the law on a national scale amid widespread resistance. The vast amount of work required prevents the government from tailoring its efforts to the unique insurance markets of each state.
"The feds never thought they would be running 34 marketplaces," Kingsdale said. The federal government is not spending as much to publicize the law in these states, he said, "and now they are facing the threat of Republicans shutting down the entire government to starve Obamacare."
The online insurance marketplaces — a key underpinning of the federal law — are supposed to serve as a one-stop shop for consumers to compare insurance plans, making the experience of purchasing insurance as simple as buying a plane ticket.
Each insurance carrier may offer a variety of plans, tiered by price and benefits, but all must feature minimum health benefits required by the federal law such as maternity and newborn care, prescription drugs, and mental health services. Each state can extend its definition of essential health benefits beyond the federal minimum.
'It's a real problem because it reduces the competitive pressure on pricing and on other performance criteria.' — Jon Kingsdale, on a lack of options offered by some states
Some New England states may also benefit from the federal law's requirement that two national insurance carriers be offered in every state by 2017, beginning with 31 states in 2014. The federal government has not named the states.
Dr. Jay Himmelstein, chief strategist for UMass Medical School's Center for Health Policy and Research, said that consumers will have a better experience in New England states that create their own marketplaces, referring to Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont. "And you would expect that certain people in New Hampshire and Maine are going to get short shrift," he said.
Thus far, New Hampshire is the only state offering just one insurance carrier for individuals buying coverage on the marketplace, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which has analyzed the marketplaces of 30 states that have named insurers.
Moreover, New Hampshire's legislature forbade the state from accepting federal money to publicize the law, making it harder to get residents to enroll. (Advocates recently figured out an end-run around the law by funneling the money through a quasi-governmental agency.) Tea Party activists, meanwhile, demonstrated against the law earlier this week in Laconia and New Castle.
"It's not a marketplace when you only have one insurer. It's more like a monopoly," said Greg Moore, New Hampshire state director of Americans for Prosperity, which led the rallies. "This is one example of a string of broken promises under Obamacare, and it's going to lead to more confusion and more uncertainty."
The lack of competition could result in higher costs charged by New Hampshire's sole insurer, some consumer advocates warn. But others argue that with such a large market share, the insurer wields strong negotiating power with hospital systems to keep costs in check.
Residents in Maine, Vermont, and Rhode Island will only be able to choose between two insurance carriers as the marketplaces are rolled out. Rhode Island, however, is limiting one of the companies to residents earning less than 250 percent of the federal poverty line.
Vermont, meanwhile, is simultaneously moving ahead with plans for a first-in-the-nation state-based, single-payer system, which is slated to begin in 2017. The state would fund all Vermonters' coverage through some combination of federal money, state taxes, and individual contributions.
Health reform advocates hope that just as Obama modeled his health care overhaul on the Massachusetts plan, other states will follow the Bay State's lead on developing a marketplace for insurance that attracts many companies.
Since Mitt Romney signed the health reform law as governor in 2006, the number of insurers serving the individual market in Massachusetts more than quadrupled over the seven years of reform, jumping from two in 2005 to nine in 2013.
During that time, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts' share of the marketplace dropped from 80 percent to less than 40 percent, according to a June report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The state will add one more plan to the marketplace in 2014, offering Bay State consumers a total of 10 carriers from which to choose.
A state report found that average individual premiums in Massachusetts were 33 percent lower in 2008 than prior to reform.
Newly released data by four New England states show the average individual premiums for the cheapest "silver plan" will range from a low of $338 a month in Rhode Island to $455 a month in Connecticut, according to a recent report from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
New Hampshire and Massachusetts have yet to unveil new premium costs.Tracy Jan can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @GlobeTracyJan.

Is it possible that you:
Installed the wrong version?
Installed a Trojan instead of the actual anti-virus?
Uninstalled important system files in the process of uninstalling PC tools?
Got a virus when transitioning to Kaspersky?
Did PC tools flip a bitch randomly and go crazy, and that's why you had to reinstall it?
Well here's the thing, I became a partner with Kaspersky and wanted to give it a shot. I uninstalled PCTools (which never gave me problems uninstalling/reinstalling before) and installed Kaspersky. The second I installed Kaspersky from the website's partner page, a little stamp of chaos popped up on my desktop. This version of windows it not genuine. Alright. I uninstall Kaspersky, do a restore, problem solved. I then reinstall PCTools and decide to just keep it. It was Kaspersky internet security 2012. What might have happened is a trojan somehwere quarantined on my computer re-activated, and Kaspersky was not able to handle it. I also did not like Kaspersky options, and noticed from other websites it would not pick up a couple specific trojans I had major problems in the past with (not on my computer of course).
Kaspersky is also very slow to update, which is not something I like. I could do, for example, a 4 MB database update for PCTools in a few seconds. It would take Kaspersky longer just to see if there are any updates, and it would download them at less than 50KB/second sometimes.
I also noticed Kaspersky's scan options had less options, was harder to use and was less user friendly, had a weaker less adjustable firewall, didn't have its own password protection (that I could find) for shutting down or going in to the protection settings, and while I usually don't find this a problem since I work on computers hourly, it had a ridiculously longer scan time.
@Mshread, I'm used to doing it the fast and easy way every time. Get out, go to next client. I have a quota to fill twice a week.

Hi girls,
Just looking for a bit of advise from you all.
Charlie turned 1 this month and for the last 2 days he seems to be misbehaving.
Firstly he did a wee on our bed last week. Yesterday (when i had the back door open) he stood at the door and did a wee all over the door frame. Thismorning, after being outside for 20 mins, my hubby came downstairs to find that Charlie had pooed all over the kitchen floor and then this evening (again after being outside from about 20 mins) he did a wee on his bed.
I just can't think why there's a change in him. I'm really baffled. Does anyone have any ideas?? Any advise/ideas would be appreciated.

The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), as it exists today, began with President Wilson signing the National Defense Act of 1916. Although military training had been taking place in civilian colleges and universities as early as 1819, the signing of the National Defense Act brought this training under single, federally-controlled entity: The Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Today, Army ROTC has a total of 273 programs located at colleges and universities throughout the 50 states, the District of Columbia , Puerto Rico with an enrollment of more than 35,000. It produces approximately 60 percent of the second lieutenants who join the active Army, the Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve. More than 40 percent of current active duty Army General Officers were commissioned through the ROTC.
Of even greater importance is that ROTC trained and educated officers bring a hybrid vigor to our officer corps by drawing on the strength and variety of our social fabric. This reduces the natural tendency of armies to drift into inbred professional separatism. Cadet Command accomplishes this by combining the character building aspects of a diverse, self-disciplined civilian education with tough, centralized leader development training. This process forges a broad-gauged officer who manifests the strength and diversity of the society from which he or she is drawn as well as the quality of strong officer leadership.
Army ROTC is the largest officer-producing organization with the American military, having commissioned more than half a million second lieutenants since its inception.
Army ROTC consists of college courses which will prepare you for service as an Army officer in one of the 16 basic Army branches. As you progress through the Army ROTC curriculum, you will receive a broader understanding of the Army, the responsibilities of an officer and you will have opportunities to compete for a variety of additional training courses and internships within the continental United States and outside of the United States. You can enroll in the first two year military science courses without any obligation to the Army. This will give you an opportunity to decide if this is for you. You can also commit to the Army sooner depending on your scholarship status, service membership or qualifications.
Army ROTC is designed as a four year curriculum but can be completed in a minimum of 2 years with a summer training.

Eliminating, or even reducing, the amount of packing in our lives is an ongoing process. It isn't usually something that can be done overnight, but with conscientious shopping and a DIY spirit, there are countless ways to reduce waste. Here are some of our tips. What are yours?
What You Need
Your creativity and resolve
• Buy less. Curbing the impulse to shop and learning to live with less will help put you on the path to a packaging-free life.
• Buy used. When you do shop, rather than buying new, check thrift stores and salvage shops. Or borrow items through services like NeighborGoods.
• Bring bags. Don't forget your reusable shopping bags. Need help remembering? Check out these tips.
• Get crafty. Take up urban homesteading practices like growing your own food, home canning, and baking bread. Develop a network of friends and neighbors to share your individual efforts.
• Buy from bulk. For other foods, shop at farmers' markets, produce stands, butchers, and bulk bins. Bring reusable containers like produce bags and empty jars.
• Pack lunch. Take your lunch to work in a reusable container with eco-friendly sandwich bags.
• Carry provisions. Pack a reusable water bottle and snacks in reusable bags so you don't find yourself running to the vending machine or corner store.
• Do it yourself – house cleaning. Making your own cleaning products might not eliminate packaging completely (you still need to procure the ingredients), but it can help you cut down considerably. If possible, buy ingredients like baking soda in or from bulk, and if you're really ambitious, you can make your own white vinegar!
• Take a break. Re-think your grooming habits. We're not suggesting you let yourself go, but take a break from hair product, foundation, or anti-aging cream for a week or two and see whether you really "need" it. Chances are, you'll look and feel perfectly fine with less.
• Do it yourself – personal health. For the personal care products you do need, explore DIY options. For example, you can use baking soda for toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo. Buying the raw ingredients might involve some packaging, but it's a step in the right direction.
• Go the extra mile. It's not for everyone, but you can also eliminate packaging by going toilet-paper free, switching to reusable feminine products, and using cloth tissues.
• Shop smart. Inevitably, you will buy some packaged goods, but consider packaging that's reusable and recyclable. Avoid excessive packaging like individually-wrapped produce and look for products in bulk, concentrate form, or refillable containers. If you regularly shop online, you might also consider buying more things locally to reduce packing material waste.
Do you have any other tips for packaging-free living?

by S.F. Jude Terror » Fri Dec 02, 2011 2:22 amAmoebas's review last week.was awesome. What's your problem Punchy? We need Fourthly back here to put you in your place with dozens of obnoxious drama threads.
I was happy to see my shop got this book in nice and early. I drank some brandy and enjoyed a brisk read full of bronze slave girls, Mint the Merciless, and some cheesy but entertaining pulp action. For the most part I've gone out of my way to avoid Alex Ross and his strange golden age obsession, and this book doesn't make me regret that, but I'm also not.sorry I gave it a try. In small doses, it can be fun. As I said, it was a short read, but action packed, taking full advantage of the comics medium's ability to tell a story without walking the reader through every detail. The art was well done but annoyed me. It displayed skill and craft but was ugly. The coloring played a large part in that. This comic shoild be bright, and the pallette isn't necessarily muted, but the whole thing felt muddy. Or maybe that was the brandy. I'd like to donate this review to Ameobas so Punchy will stop persecuting him.
7/10 a solid effort

Reading comics again rules.
by guitarsmashley » Sat Dec 03, 2011 12:07 pmI'm working on something for the front page then will review this.
by BlueStreak » Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:03 pmAs far as origin stories go, this isn't an awful one. The book focuses on exactly how Flash Gordon and Dale Arden wind up on Mongo and portray Hitler's rise to power as part of a plan to conquer Earth by Ming the Merciless. The characterization's a bit light, as is the plot and art, but that's all tempered by the price point, which was only a $1.00. Probably the best part of the issue was the last page, which is enticing enough for me to pick up the next issue when it hits stands. All in all, it's a fairly standard Flash Gordon comic, fun for fans of the character and a good introduction for those unfamiliar with them but lacking any real punch for anyone else.

As someone who loves the 1980 film Flash Gordon I thought the opening of this issue was great. I loved how it mirrored the film's opening. The rest of the issue did a good job introducing Flash, Zarkov, Dale and the world of Mongo. I liked how they kept the timeline where they did and used Hitler as a part of Ming's plan for the Earth. The issue was full of action and a quick read but it was still a lot of fun. The $1.00 price was a great idea to draw readers in. I wish other companies would take a lesson from this. It could help readers check out books they normally wouldn't. I'll check out the second issue of this when it's released.
The art here was fairly mediocre. Nothing special but nothing bad either. AT times it seemed to have too heavy of shadowing in it and the blacks used overpowered the colors.
Story - 8
Art - 6

by Frag » Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:12 amDynamite Comics all feel the same. They are like the kids who had all the best toys, vidoegames, guitars or bikes, yet sucked at all of them. Dynamite Comics are really nicely produced, but usually suck donkey balls. This was no exeption. I've seen less cliches in an episode of Three's Company. This was shit, if shit's goal was to add smelling like vomit to it's repertoire. I've read more interesting Nacireman threads.

Now this is a review I can understand.
by guitarsmashley » Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:15 pmGrowing up I had the 1980 Flash Gordon movie on a lot. I loved it and this comic reignited my love of it. It also though scares the hell out of me because the movie will most likely not live up to my memories. This comic was obviously influenced by it especially when you look at Ming and Dr. Karnov. The art was pretty alright but really it could be more. The story was perfectly serviceable but I really didn't want what I read. It worked too hard to remind me of that movie and having not read or watched any other Flash Gordon stories I wanted more or new stories.
by Eli Katz » Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:58 pmI think the new Review Group is a lesser version of the old Review Group. There are no fights, no meltdowns and, worst of all, no Fourthy. The reboot has turned out to be another shallow gimmick. We need to return to the old numbering and the old continuity. And Fourthy's death has to be retconned away.

Liberty News
Jonathan Falwell speaks powerful message, borrowed from his dad
Dr. Jerry falwell, Sr.'s sermon lives on ...
Jonathan Falwell, senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, brought back the memories of his father, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., at Wednesday's convocation with the same sermon of encouragement his dad preached at the end of every school year.
"All of you have been called by God into a specific area of ministry," Jonathan Falwell said Wednesday. "It's such an encouragement to see you students of Liberty University truly become what dad talked about when he started this university, and that is becoming young Champions for Christ."
He recited the questions his father had told students to ask themselves: "What would I do if I thought I might succeed? What goal would I set if I knew I could not fail? What price am I willing to pay, and what sacrifices am I willing to make?"
"These are the four questions my dad wanted students of Liberty University to remember, and so today I want you to remember these questions as well," Jonathan Falwell said.
Reading from II Tim 1:7, he told students that God does not want them to live in a spirit of fear but in a spirit of power. Taking queues from his father's sermon, Falwell said God wants Christians to be bold, not to focus on their own problems, and to believe that He can do the impossible.
"With God all things are possible and without Him life is impossible," Falwell said.
He told students that they are the only ones who can know what God's will is for their lives, and they need to commit themselves to Him daily by reading His word.
He cited John 16:33, which says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulations, but take heart. I have overcome the world."
He encouraged students to remember his father's words, "Never, never quit."
"The battle has already been won," he said. "Christ — when he stretched his arms out on that cross and paid the ultimate price for us — he won it. Now all we've got to do is fight it."
At the end of Wednesday's convocation, Falwell called to the stage members of church planting teams who will be going out around the world in the next few weeks. LU co-founder Dr. Elmer Towns led a special moment of prayer and dedication.
Liberty church planters will be headed to places like Charlottesville, Va.; San Francisco, Calif.; Richmond, Va.; Clarksville, Tenn.; West Palm Beach, Fla. and South Africa.
Jeff Barber, Liberty University's Director of Athletics, presented Beth Bennett, an LU softball player, with the 2008-09 Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award at Monday's convocation. The award is the university's highest athletics honor.
First established in 1975, the award is given to the top student athlete of the year who displays outstanding performance in academics, athletics and in their personal testimony and dedication to living a life for Christ. It was named for Rock Royer, Liberty's first football coach in 1973 who died in an airplane crash while on a recruiting trip, and for Mac Rivera, a member of Liberty's basketball team from 1972 until 1975 who was killed in a train-related accident while still a student-athlete.
The Sounds of Liberty, one of Liberty University's travelling ministry teams, led the praise and worship time and performed the special music at Wednesday's convocation.

Brody Blu Kruckenberg and Charles Anthony Nelson, both 16, have been charged as adults with one count each of first-degree felony murder for the slaying of Gregorio Salazar Campos, 33. Campos' body was discovered April 7 in the Colorado River. Kruckenberg and Nelson are also charged with one count each of obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.
Corina Dawn Yardley, 44, who was the victim's girlfriend and who is Kruckenberg's mother, is charged with two counts of obstruction of justice.
Seventh District Judge Lyle Anderson on Tuesday, May 7, scheduled preliminary hearings for all three defendants on Sept. 25.
The preliminary hearing for the teens will begin at 9 a.m. Yardley will have a separate hearing the same day, after the hearing for Nelson and Kruckenberg is completed. At a preliminary hearing, prosecutors must present evidence demonstrating probable cause that the defendants committed the crime. The judge then determines whether the evidence is sufficient to bind the defendants over for trial.
Investigators have said Campos was shot three times in the head on March 25 as he slept in Yardley's bed at her mobile home on River Sands Road, according to a probable cause statement released last month by the Grand County Sheriff's Office.
Nelson was allegedly persuaded to fire the gun by his friend, Kruckenberg, according to the probable cause statement.
An informant told sheriff's investigators that Nelson claimed that on the day of slaying, Kruckenberg had contacted him saying Campos was asleep and asking Nelson to come over, according to the probable cause statement.
The informant claimed Nelson told him that Kruckenberg said, "Let's kill him," but that Kruckenberg could not do the killing and asked Nelson to do it, according to the documents.
"[Nelson] said it was not his deal, but was talked into doing it," the probable cause document states.
Nelson then allegedly told the informant that he pointed the gun through a crack in the doorway of Yardley's bedroom and shot Campos three times, according to the probable cause statement.
Investigators allege that Yardley cleaned blood from the wall and the carpet in the bedroom and helped the boys dispose of Campos' body by allowing them use her truck. She also allegedly removed the mattresses and bedding from the bedroom scene and bought a new mattress shortly after that, according to information in another probable cause statement.
Law enforcement and Grand County Attorney Andrew Fitzgerald have declined to discuss a motive for the homicide, but a motion filed in 7th District Court to seal the search warrant served on the home where Campos was killed states that investigators have received information that "suggests illegal drug trafficking with connections to violent groups." That court document was released to KSL News, which provided a copy to The Times-Independent, on Tuesday, May 7, in response to a public records request to Utah State Courts.
In an interview this week with KSL, Campos' family said he was not involved in illegal drug trafficking.
Nelson and Kruckenberg each are being held in Grand County Jail in lieu of $250,000 cash-only bail. Yardley is being held in lieu of $50,000 cash-only bail.

With New Year's Resolutions in full swing, the gyms are packed with people determined to stick to their new fitness goals. Since so many of us decide we want to improve our fitness, lose weight or simply work out more, here are some quick makeup tips to help you stick with your 2009 New Year's fitness resolutions. You can pull off this look in less than five minutes – so that you can you can get on your way and and get going. And we all know that getting out the door is half the battle!
- Instead of your regular foundation, use a tinted moisturizer or light foundation (like MAC's Studio Fix). These types of products can be applied more quickly than a full-on primer, foundation and powder routine. They will also allow your skin to breathe while you are working up a sweat. You can skip blush as well as bronzer because your workout will naturally give you some added color.
- Choose a neutral eyeshadow color with some subtle shimmer that is close to your natural skin tone. Apply the shadow from your lash line to your crease and then blend up towards your brow bone. This will give you a natural dewy glow that's perfect for a quick workout look.
- Use a flat, angled brush to apply a light or dark brown eyeshadow to your lash line as an eyeliner. Follow up with a coat of mascara in brown or black-brown. This will give your eyes a soft, natural look that's not too harsh for the gym.
- Finally, apply a little Chapstick to keep your lips soft and then apply a neutral pink or beige lipgloss on top to complete your look.

I've found that I feel more motivated when I feel put together (no matter where I go). I also tend to feel more positive about my workouts when I feel good inside and out… this five minute makeup routine can help you feel more like working out so that you can stick with your goals.. and make 2009 all you hoped it would be!

Buy Original Ragga Muffin £4.25
Ragga Muffin Style Sample!
What the press say:
Another crucial revival package from Blood & Fire, a label fast becoming the Jurassic Park of reggae due to their talent for bringing dinosaurs magically back to life. Old-time toaster Jah Stitch began his career with the Tippertone and Black Harmony sound-systems before cutting his first sides for Flabba Holt and the ubiquitous Bunny "Striker" Lee, who contributes the majority of tracks here, some taken from the dee-jay's No Dread Can't Dead album. The exceptions are Judgement and Black Is Our Colour version African Queen, both produced by Vivian Yabby U Jackson. One of a number of cultural Dee-Jays who rose to prominence in Big Youth's slipstream circa 1976 - with Jah Yout' subsequently replacing him as Tippertones lead MC - Stitch had the distinct advantage of riding some of the era's toughest rhythms. Watch Your Step Youthman and Crazy Joe are both cuts to Johnny Clarke's Crazy Baldhead and it's the famed Jamaican rootsman's vocals behind former UK single Militant Man, Sinners Repent Your Soul, King of the Arena and Real Born African, the latter being versions to Death in the Arean and the classic We Are Africans respectively. Cool Down Youthman is a dee-jay cut to Linval Thompson's Cool Down Your Temper whilst Ragga Muffin Style strides majestically over the rhythm track to Horace Andy's Money Money. Just to whet the appetite of revival fans even more, it should be pointed out that Every Wicked Have to Crawl arrives complete with vocal cut, which happens to be Horace's sublime Zion Gate - surely one of Bunny Lee's finest ever productions. African People (3 in 1) is a toast to his piece of Declaration of Rights whilst the opening Give Jah the Glory - a tune which led to Stitch and Big Youth falling out - is a wicked interpretation of Burning Spear's Wadada. If that's not enough to tempt you, then what is? The final track is No Dread Can't Dead, a song with Cornell Campbell's vocals soaring heavenwards in the mix and one which marked Stitch's comeback after miraculously surviving a shot to the head in a Kingston street dispute. It changed his voice (and appearance!) as you'd expect, but with no serious consequence where recording was concerned. This story and other intimate recollections of the period are contained in the accompanying booklet - now a standard feature of Blood & Fire releases and once again immaculately presented by Steve Barrow. Original raggamuffins can't miss. John Masouri - Echoes, April '96

For Tillerson, a lonely job defending Trump's Jerusalem move
By JOSH LEDERMAN, Associated Press
BRUSSELS (AP) — It's a go-to catchphrase when U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is called on to explain his boss on the world stage: "America first is not America alone." Yet as President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel, Tillerson on Wednesday stood all by himself.
The onslaught came from all sides as Tillerson, at NATO headquarters in Brussels, got an earful from many a U.S. ally on Trump's Jerusalem move. So far, not a single country — other than Israel, of course — has thrown its support behind the declaration. Even Tillerson's own State Department has conceded the announcement could sow unrest throughout the Middle East.
Turkey's top diplomat, Mevlut Cavusoglu, was unsparing in criticism that was far harsher than any the U.S. is accustomed to from a NATO ally.
"The whole world is against this," Cavusoglu told reporters as he awaited Tillerson's arrival for their meeting. He said he'd already told Trump's chief diplomat that it was a "grave mistake." Cavusoglu said he planned to "tell him again."
That time-tested "special relationship" with Britain? Not so special as to prevent Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson from putting Tillerson on the spot. After the two shook hands, Johnson used the occasion to suggest it was time for Trump's Mideast peace team to put up or shut up.
"Clearly this is a decision that makes it more important than ever that the long-awaited American proposals on the Middle East peace process are now brought forward, and I would say that that should happen as a matter of priority," Johnson said as Tillerson stood uneasily a few feet away.
Trump, in a speech Wednesday, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state and said he'd start the process of moving the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv. The Palestinians and essentially every country see that as undermining future Israeli-Palestinian peace talks that would include Jerusalem's fate — just as the Trump administration purports to be working to broker the ever-elusive deal.
Asked about Trump's decision, Tillerson urged critics to "listen carefully to the entirety of the speech." While the decision directly affects his department, Tillerson acknowledged his role was relatively minimal. He said Trump's Mideast peace team, led by the president's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, had shared the decision with him so he could "give them guidance on areas that I thought would be challenging to address."
"They've done the hard work to try to address those," Tillerson said, insisting there remains "a very good opportunity for peace to be achieved, and the president has a team that is devoted to that entirely."
Tillerson has tried throughout his tenure to soften the president's isolationist-tinged foreign policy by explaining that the U.S. still seeks to lead and build strong partnerships with likeminded nations. He also has echoed Trump in describing how the U.S. feels burden-sharing has gotten out of balance in recent years.
There are few signs America's foreign partners are buying it. At EU and NATO meetings this week, Tillerson got earful after earful about Trump's hampering of the Iran nuclear deal, withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and stated disdain for the United Nations, to name just a few examples.

THE_KNOWLEDGE has referred to itself as a male. This is the beginning of the end, my friend. Now that we know this major bit of information, your true identity is sure to follow. Today we know you're a dude, by tomorrow we will know where you grocery shop. Next week, we will know the name of your dog and that your favorite song is likely Call Me Maybe.
Also, it has been speculated by mystics and clairvoyants that oracular spirits are hermaphroditic in nature. I must now go back to square one in my attempts to understand the true nature of The Knowledge.
Is this sarcasm?
[Edit: Thanks to all who answered, and to those that downvoted an honest question.]
I would say that all THE KNOWLEDGE's post are intended for entertainment value only.
My two guesses based on his name THE_IGNORANCE.
1. He made the account to be the nemisis of THE_KNOWLEDGE which would seem to explain the comments.
2. THE_KNOWLEDGE made two different accounts so he could argue with himself.
Frankly, I don't even know which seems more likely.
THE_IGNORANCE created an account when I commented that THE PARTY ROOM should be referred to as THE_IGNORANCE. Then THE_IGNORANCE created an account and said "No, that's me". So it seems to be that THE_IGNORANCE is THE PARTY ROOM's syncopant and has only indirectly to do with THE_KNOWLEDGE
I think he is patterning himself however, to be THE_KNOWLEDGE's antithesis, as his account looks fairly similar (no picture, same capilization/punctuation in the account handle and the signature being the handle).
...was established above and the usefulness of entangled pairs in any explanation of time travel was discussed below, I think you mean to say
2. THE_KNOWLEDGE made two different accounts so he could argue with herself and she could argue with himself.
The amazing powers of being a mod, you can edit your comments after they've been responded too.
That being said I'm fairly certain that it's a sarcastic account, posing as the "nemesis" of the knowledge, and as the general antithesis of MGoUsers..
The more content the better. Especially for those of us aspiring to be FOTK.
You are all knowing.
Please tell me why I love your posts so much.
I can't help myself.
Explain this about myself, to myself....
I mean, I find THE KNOWLEDGE's posts greatly humorous and a cute addition to all things MGoBlog. There is a 99.999% probability that THE KNOWLEDGE does not, in fact, have any better foresight into the future than the rest of us, becauase any backward time travel of information likely violates the laws of physics and creates mathematically impossible scenarios.
ON THE OTHER HAND... well there ARE entangled pairs....
So, on the off chance that the 0.001% possibility is in fact accurate, I for one CHOOSE to bow in deference to THE KNOWLEDGE's greatness, so that, if some day THE KNOWLEDGE chooses not merely to predict Michigan sports future but, instead, the stock market or something and thereby gains ALL POWER and we ALL end up working for THE KNOWLEDGE, well then, why be one to spit in his face now? He would remember and force you to work cleaning toilets or something, someday, you know, in Columbus.
Just sayin'.
He believed that "time viewing" was quite possible. Maybe THE KNOWLEDGE can see the future.
THE_KNOWLEDGE, will I ever find love? and if so, is she/he pretty?
Branda, you swing both ways? I live in Utah and would like for you to join my flock.
I've always wanted to be on the board at the instant that THE_KNOWLEDGE posts and comment before he can write "comments commence"
I have been hitting F5 frenatically for about 2 years and 7 months. After 3 keyboards and 7 carpal tunnel surgeries I still have not been able to catch it in time. Take it from a veteran, I would find a different hobby.
I upvote THE_KNOWLEGE on sight. There is no one else around here like him. Love him or hate him, you have to respect his originality. I bet people thought Nostradamus was strange too . . .
Haters simply cannot comprehend the all-reaching knowledge of THE_KNOWLEDGE. Some people can open their mind to the cosmos, others will just never understand
Wouldn't the knowledge have known ex ante than brian isn't going to add a tab for him?
THE KNOWLEDGE created this thread. Please, Mr. TK, answer this question:
Will Denard Robinson be a finalist for the Heisman this year?
What is déjà vu?
does not comprehend that the question will Trey Burke return or go pro is not a yes or no question. Also, but to a lesser degree, still somewhat befuddling, doesn't knowing the future but also the information on the future equate to the same? Afterall, isn't the information on the future contained in the future itself? Lesser minds just have to know.

|"Where Are You"
If rumors are true, I suspect it may have been his mother Laura that made this comment for she was discribed as a difficult woman. Even her husband left her and disappeard, but not til his later years and grandchildren were in the picture.
But, then again there was Forrest's sister-in-law, Agnes, who betrayed her mother-in-law, Laura, who gained possession of her house through lies of devotion. Agnes then sent Laura to a nursing home where she died. When Agnes's husband died, she stole her sister-in law's husband. Laura's granddaughter remembers seeing them sneaking a kiss on the stairs. Oh my!
I have not discovered for sure where they were married or when. I don't know if they had children or not. I do believe that Marie, maiden name unknown, was from New York. I wonder if Forrest was in the military and that is how they met, but again, I have not found a draft card. I did find Forrest and Marie (hopefully mine) living in Jersey City, New Jersey in the 1930 census. He was 29 and she was 27, no children were listed. It told me that Forrest was a service man working for Fridigidaire.
I am so looking forward to the 1940 census. It can't get here fast enough.

Film News
Summertime Cinema
DVDs for a hot day
Astronomically speaking, summer officially begins on June 21 here in North America. Economically speaking, it gets started long before that. Summer movie season, for example, has traditionally kicked off on Memorial Day weekend. The Memorial Day to Labor Day marathon now accounts for 40 percent or more of the movie industry's annual box office. It's no wonder movie studios, eager to milk as much cash out of summertime ticketbuyers as possible, have been inching the summer movie season further and further back. This year, the release of Spider-Man 3 on May 4 (three full weekends before Memorial Day) signaled the start of a very long, hot summer.
Film Review
It's a vegetable stew made primarily with eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini--now go see the movie!
Odds are, if and when you go to the theater to see Ratatouille, the new film from Pixar Animation Studios, you'll first be greeted by a brief sneak preview of the company's next major feature Wall-E. That film isn't scheduled to hit theaters until next June. But the roughly 10-second glance you'll get of this animated fable about a lonely robot has got more charm and endearing appeal than the last six CGI films Hollywood has cranked out. Following that, you'll get to see one of Pixar's trademark short films—a hilarious little sci-fi romp titled "Lifted." That film alone is worth the price you'll pay for admission. And that's all before the feature even starts.
Idiot Box
Commerical Confusion
You're selling what now?
With the advent of TiVo and other digital recorders, television networks and advertising agencies have been scrambling to find new ways of assuaging big-budget clients upset over the high-tech practice of "zapping." Zapping is the process of using your remote control to fast-forward past TV commercials. Back in the day, viewers actually had to get up off the couch and go take a crap to avoid commercials. Now, technology allows us to shrug off Madison Avenue with the push of a button. What a bunch of ungrateful bastards we all are. We sit there, watch a free episode of "Three and a Half Men," produced graciously for our entertainment by CBS, and don't have the simple decency to return the favor by ordering a Pizza Hut P'Zone when the network tells us to.

TSF op-er Michael Shaw graciously gave us his thoughts going into this historic Wimbledon's second week. Unfortunately for him (and maybe for us, since we probably pissed him off for slacking), it took until today for this post to go up.
Read on about serve-and-volleying as a kiss of death, the grass court major's coverage on TV, and his pick for this year's men's titleist (he picked right!).
Without question the most exciting match of the first week — at least of those that were broadcast — was the Tommy Haas–Marin Cilic five-set nailbiter. Not only did it have heavy momentum swings up until darkness pushed it into a sleepover (aww, just like a baby!), it also featured noteworthy stretches of serve-and-volley tennis from Haas. And there's nothing quite as nerve-wracking as seeing a player up at net in the tight moments. Think Stefan Edberg's attacks facing off with Jim Courier's passes in the finals of the Aussie Open. Or McEnroe v. Borg at Wimbledon.
Taylor Dent, my one hope of displaying consistent S&V, went out in the first — though we give him props for getting through from the qualies — so who's left? Ivo Karlovic is much more serve (ace?) than volley (he approached 71 times in his tight 4-set win over Tsonga). In his 5-setter over David Ferrer, Radek Stepanek came in 109 times. Haas only came in 74 times, but a lot of those serve-volleys were later in the match, so it felt like a higher number.
As aggressive as this style may be, the way in which it sets today's players up for failure is overwhelming, and the frequency with which Hewitt will likely pass Stepanek will illustrate this perception nicely. (Yep: Lleyton took out the Czech 4-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.) Haas vs. Igor Andreev? That's a tough call, but it's safe to say that if Haas approaches with any frequency, it will be when he's comfortably ahead (and if he serve-volleys if it's close, so much the better for more nail-biting).
Meanwhile, a great-sounding match we didn't get to see was Juan Carlos Ferrero over Fernando Gonzalez in five. Played on Court 1 but covered by neither ESPN2 nor NBC, I'm happy to see Ferrero back in the thick of things (if Tennis Channel caught it, feel free to fill us in).
Of course, neither is American, nor Scottish nor Swiss; but a great match is a great match. Write your local congressperson, or ESPN/NBC/T.C. affiliate: "I want access to all the matches!" Oh, and ESPN360? It never has the matches I'm looking for.)
Finally: as solid as Murray looks, Fed still looks unbeatable. Have to bet they'll meet next Sunday. (Edit: and we all know how it ended…)

MOSCOW (AP) � Russia's foreign minister said yesterday that Syrian President Bashar Assad has no intention of stepping down and it would be impossible to try to persuade him otherwise.
After a meeting with Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nation's envoy for the Syrian crisis, Sergey Lavrov also said the Syrian opposition risks sacrificing many more lives if it continues to insist on Assad leaving office as a precondition for holding talks on Syria's future.
Assad "has repeatedly said publicly and privately, including in his meeting with Lakhdar Brahimi in Damascus not long ago, that he does not intend to leave for anywhere, that he will stay to the end in his post, that he will, as he expressed it, defend the Syrian people, Syrian sovereignty and so forth," Lavrov said. "There's no possibility to change this position."
Brahimi warned that the country's civil war could plunge the region into chaos by sending hundreds of thousands of refugees into neighboring nations, but his talks in Moscow produced no sign of progress toward settling the crisis.
Brahimi and Lavrov both said after their meeting that the 21-month-old Syrian conflict can only be settled through talks, while admitting that the parties in the conflict have shown no desire for compromise. Neither official hinted at a possible solution that would persuade the Syrian government and the opposition to agree to a cease-fire and sit down for talks about a political transition.
Brahimi, who arrived in Moscow on a one-day trip after his talks in Damascus with Assad last week, voiced concern about the escalation of the conflict, which he said is becoming "more and more sectarian."
The envoy warned that "if you have a panic in Damascus, and if you have 1 million people leaving Damascus in a panic, they can go to only two places � Lebanon and Jordan," and those countries might not be able to endure half a million refugees each.
Brahimi said that "if the only alternative is really hell or a political process, then we have got all of us to work ceaselessly for a political process."
Russia has been the main supporter of Assad's regime since the uprising began in March 2011, using its veto at the U.N. Security Council along with China to shield its last Mideast ally from international sanctions.
Lavrov said Russia would continue to oppose any U.N. resolution that would call for international sanctions against Assad and open the way for a foreign intervention in Syria. And while he again emphasized that Russia "isn't holding onto Bashar Assad," he added that Moscow believes the opposition demand for his resignation as a precondition for peace talks is "counterproductive."
"The price for that precondition will be the loss of more Syrian lives," Lavrov said.

When I first heard of Vala I was not impressed. A domain specific language? That seems like a dead-end; how would we every attract developers to the GNOME platform?
After a while of thinking about it I realised that GNOME already was in this position. GObject+C already is a domain specific language. New developers already have to learn GObject and finding developers who both are proficient and willing to use C can be a struggle.
Recently I have been working on more and more with Vala and porting applications from PyGTK/C to it. Before Vala, PyGTK had a lot of advantaged over C; now the main differences are easy debugging and fast development (Python) vs fast performance and type checking for easier maintenance (Vala).
So, my recommendation is if you have a desktop application that uses GObject APIs* and you are happy with debugging tools like gdb and valgrind then consider using Vala!
* I was working on porting LightDM to Vala but old system APIs were causing difficulty. If you have this case consider wrapping them in C+Gobject first and then interfacing to that.

First things first, I'm back from my B.C. adventures, so prepare for a month of Canadian love, including lots of beer, hockey (whoa), Chinese food, wonderful hippie markets, and fingers crossed, a guest post from my travelling partner and real-life-Canadian-bestie. Not to jinx myself, but expect those posts in a week or so, as I'm off to Seattle this weekend for a scintillating event – The Great Seattle Vegan Chili Cook-Off! It's a fundraiser for their eventual Vegan Iron Chef competition, which opens the door to something that makes me kinda pee my pants – NorthWest Vegan Iron Chef Regionals!!!!! The Portland folks will be reppin' a table at the Cook-Off, so keep an eye out.
For now, I'm spending the day counting down the minutes until I can visit the Shemanski Park Farmers Market on my lunch hour – my first visit of the season. I like to pretend it's there for me, being mere blocks away from my office and all. At some point, my coworkers became used to me returning with armfuls of colorful produce and squash sticking out of my purse. I have a farmar habit, it's cool. It's seasonal. It's purposeful.
The weekend before I left, I was all about the tart, fascinating stalk that is rhubarb, as well as thrillingly bizarre local citrus finds, and made the following syrup. It's made an appearance in tonic so far, and is counting the minutes itself (it's that talented) until it can impress at a cocktail hour.
Rhubarb & Rangpur Lime Syrup
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb (no need to peel; think 2 medium sized stalks)
- 5-6 rangpur limes, halved (leave skins on)
- 1 lime, quartered (likewise)
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup organic sugar
- pinch salt
