Available on all Platforms

Adam: I came to Fort Lauderdale to rebuild my relationship with my son, not to fall for his new mother-in-law. Yet, Maria has a way of making me forget all the reasons why I shouldn't. She's everything I thought I lost forever after my wife's passing. But our families are not on board with us being together, and sneaking around isn't my style. I need to show her I’m all in. Maria: After my husband’s sudden heart attack, I never imagined I’d love again. Until, an ex-biker with striking blue eyes and in desperate need of a haircut comes strutting into our family restaurant, making my heart beat a little faster. But Adam is my daughter's new father-in-law, and off limits. None of my children would approve of us dating. Hooking up is out of the question and marriage… well that’s not possible. Or is it? Author's Note: This title was previously released as part of the ON THE LINE anthology, which is no longer available. This version has been updated and re-edited.

TV Shows - Bull III

We've reached the second season, and Bull still manages to impress. However, it must be noted that with the second season and Michael Weatherly's new haircut, a little bit of DiNozzo is shining through. They're only subtle nuances, but they're still visible. However, this isn't meant as criticism; I also like it, although sometimes I find myself wishing for the other Bull from the early episodes of the first season.

Right now, I'm in the third episode of the second season, and once again, Dr. Jason Bull has been asked for a favor by a judge, or in this case, a female judge. I find it interesting because it shows that even though he's very unpopular with some judges, his actions have influence and reach. However, the judge's son seems to have a different opinion, but that's a pleasant contrast.

This contrast is also seen repeatedly in individual episodes, as one could argue that the series always portrays the Bull side as winning. BUT, on one hand, this makes the series very comforting to watch, and on the other hand, this criticism wouldn't be entirely fair because we don't accuse NCIS or CSI: Las Vegas of always solving every case. (I mention this because I read it in a review of the series. I should stop reading reviews; they just raise my blood pressure. And NO, I'm not writing a review here, just sharing my experiences and interpretations. For me, there's a big difference.)

Unfortunately, I also checked the Wikipedia article for Bull again and sadly found out that one of my favorite characters, Cable, will only be in until the end of this season. I hope she gets an adequate replacement, although nobody can truly replace her, only succeed her. I also briefly feared for Chunk, due to his studies, not being around as often, and so far, that's been true. Because somehow, he's missed, and those dressing sessions are missed too. I found them quite interesting because you always learned some little extras there.

I find all the tech gimmicks used in the series a bit over the top, but they definitely serve the story and, of course, often create problems too, because if they fail or there's a blind jury, then they have to switch back to manual methods. This often adds a bit of tension, even though you know everything will turn out fine, but it's similar to an episode of Columbo. You know exactly who did what, but that part in between, practically connecting the dots from point A to point B, both of which you already know, is the interesting part. While Bull may lack Columbo's eye, trench coat and vintage car, parallels can still be drawn here.

There have been some changes in the second season, and I'm neutral about them because they're noticeable but not disruptive so far. And the series has six seasons, so it's unlikely to have a negative impact. Although, The Flash has nine seasons, and they could have ended it after six, or even, I believe, after five, right when they started ruining Killer Frost. I digress, apologies.

So far, I don't regret starting Bull; it's truly a good series that's enjoyable, and I'm a big fan of Michael Weatherly anyway. So, I'm happy for it to continue like this!

John Mulaney: From Scratch in Las Vegas, September 4

Once again, spoilers for the show and what will presumably be in the special. This is about his relapse so tread with caution is that will be an issue for you. However, the tone of his struggle is the same one he used in his past specials so if you didn’t have any issues then, I think you’d be ok with this. Of course, use your own best judgement, friends.

The opener was Seaton Smith. 

He opened with trying to find the rich people in the crowd but acknowledged that they’d go mwrmwmwrw money isn’t everything so then he started talking about golf and went aha I got ya’ll. 

There was a joke about weed being the only Christian drug

He had a bit about when white people are nice, be nervous

He had a bit about there being a black man on the Bachelor and was like America (ABC and Disney+) were not ready for a black man to be fucking a house full of 50 white women. That shit premiered on Tuesday and the Capitol burned on Wednesday.

He also did some crowd work and roasted a couple in the front row for having different answers about kids and she was like I didn’t hear the question and was roasted about how not hearing questions you don’t want to answer is certainly a tactic, often used by drug dealers

He also had a bit about how different child rearing is in Texas versus New York and about how hitting your kids is treated differently, like his dad would have just threatened it whimsically. 

Now on to the Main Event!

The first thing he said was “hiiiiiiiiii” exactly in the tone you think he said it in. he followed that up with a little shrug looking adorable and a little bashful

“It’s him! Mr. Problems. Oh Las Vegas, Oh my god” he then talks about how Vegas is a land of vice and a Choice for him to preform in as a recovering addict. He had a sober buddy and 3 bodyguards with him at all times. 

“And here’s what happened” December 18, 2020, he gets invited to a friends apartment for dinner AND HE’S TWO HOURS LATE because he stopped, coked out of his mind, at SNL for a haircut because he still had his building access badge and he went to the hair department and they were like, he’ll leave faster if we just do this, and then he stopped at his drug dealers. 

He called venmo and cashapp, apps for drug deals and was like what do normal people even use them for. He maxed both out paying for drugs. 

He was the best looking person at his intervention. “Coke skinny, new cut” and the 12 people intervening looked like shit. He looked “tears for fears while they all looked jerry garcia” (I hope you know who those musicians are besties). 

He immediately yelled “Can I go to the bathroom” to you know, dump his drugs because when you walk into that, you know what it is. 

He was not allowed to go (he would be asked if he still needed to pee later and would say “what?”

There were 6 people in NYC and 6 people over zoom in LA because he guesses 6 people couldn’t be bothered to fly in for HIS INTERVENTION

Interventions can go two ways, it can be kind of accusatory and this is how you let us all down, or it can be supportive. Everyone but Nick Kroll got the memo to be supportive.

Nick Kroll went first.

Nick Kroll listed all the ways John was a bad best friend and brother over zoom and John was getting texts during the intervention saying Nick wasn’t supposed to do that and they were all sorry. 

Bill Hader went next. he originally wasn’t going to be able to make it so he had recorded a thing but since he was there, he did it live. (He would eventually send the video to John in rehab, which is not what you want on the way to rehab “awesome, more intervention”)

He tried to derail the intervention, “there’s not enough latinx representation” he said he’d go to any rehab except the one they had picked out for him. This was a star-studded affair and he was mad no one was being funny. 

 Natasha Lyons went next, telling him his life and career is in shambles

So he gets carted off to rehab after this intervention. Don’t let 12 comedians pack your bags for 2 months at rehab. it was bombas socks and iphone chargers. 

A little secret about rehab, you’re not allowed to bring drugs in. You remember how he was late? In his pocket on the way to rehab included: a huge amount of pills, 3g of coke (which was 2g by the time he got there, courtesy of a koala station in a gas station bathroom), and $2000 in cash. He had other plans for the weekend. He was admitted for xanax, coke, perocet, and adderall addiction. Say what you will, but he does not do anything half way.

It’s 4am when he’s sent to detox, he’s been awake for 3 days. 

He also gives a small lesson on how to get drugs. Find the lowest rated doctors on yelp and webmd reviews and go ask for them, they need all the business they can get. You become like Captain Phillips, I am the doctor now. 

Dr. Michael was his shady doctor. He was a first avenue apartment where he would write prescriptions from his kitchenette where his girl Minerva was always asleep. “I didn’t kill my wife Minerva.” But John would ask for his drugs, Dr. Michael would write the script and then ask what he needed it for. Dr. Michael would also make John take his shirt off, always offering a flu shot and going no, shirt all the way off (in case you were wondering how bad this addiction actually was)

The first moral is now you know. The second moral is get vaccinated.

He’s sent to the regular ward the next afternoon and they finally get him to sleep. 

He’s sketched out that doctors have last names at this establishment

He asks for drugs such as klonopin and is taken aback a bit when he doesn’t get them. The doctor is like PA state law says no, and so John suggests they go to a CVS in Jersey to get some. 

His bestie Pete Davidson starts calling that night. Except Pete changes his number every month and a half so John has him send a selfie and saves the new number under some other random name, at this point in time, Pete is saved as Al Pacino. (We get an Al Pacino impression) John is asleep and his nurse sees Al Pacino trying to call him 5 times and so she wakes him up. 

Pete Davidson and John Mulaney did not do drugs together. (The author is lowkey surprised and sad about that, like if Pete was my bestie, we’d make so many poor choices) But Pete was always very supportive of his sobriety. 

John needs recognition so badly, in group when they introduced themselves he said “I’m John M.” and no one cared. So he left a tabloid out with the news of his admittance and his face on it in the rec room on the table. The not being someone was “driving him bananas.” When they talked about what they do for a living and he said I’m a a stand up comedian, someone asked if he made a living that way. He said “yeah ask your daughter” (or your son)

One of the things you do at rehab is break up with your drug dealer.

One of his drug dealers only bought drugs to keep John from buying worse off the streets and only got into the game because John kept asking him for drugs and was his only buyer. That guy was originally a painter and John has no idea how they met. John is the only person to turn an innocent man into a drug dealer. 

Here he did the Baby J is back baby joke. the Park Theater is one of the biggest stages in the world so he did that joke in one pace across the stage and said the stage is that joke long. 

“I am no longer on drugs. It’s very good but also ah---” He’s in a 12 step anonymous group. 

“I need attention, clearly.” After a show you think he would be sated, but no. 

He wants that attention that the kid who’s grandparent died and showed up to school dressed for the funeral and got to sit in the beanbag chair for reading despite it not being his turn, gets. He went on about being willing to let one of the lesser important grandparents die so he could get attention, for quite a while. 

He feels left behind in science, like his C’s and D’s in those classes. All those classes were was putting things on a windowsill for the janitor to throw away. He had a bit about how the fuck people put dinosaurs back together, it’s like getting wayfair furniture without the instructions. 

He also things the moon belongs to America. Like we got there first and when other countries say stuff about the moon he’s like mmmmmmm.

He also had a joke about paying to get into college and like, for white people that’s always how it’s been. 

The show ended with him going over the highlights of that GQ interview that he was so coked out for that he forgot he did it entirely. He has no memory of it at all. He was just called up that day and asked for an interview and you know how coke is the best drug to receive attention on? He just did whatever he wanted with that attention. 

And that was the show.

haircut reviews Grace Kelly, later Princess Grace of Monaco, always appeared with her pale golden hair perfectly coiffed in a long pageboy. While the hair isn’t worn curly, you’ll still start with rollers or curl your hair with a curling iron, but keep your curls loose. Brush through the curls, parting your hair into a deep side part. Smooth the hair into a curving wave moving back from the face on each side, with a strong curl under at the back. Finish with a high-shine serum and hairspray to avoid any flyaway strands. haircut reviews

haircut reviews Comb the top section straight back from the hairline, or part the hair on the side and comb the two halves of the part back from the sides of the head to meet in the back. Secure the ponytail with a hair band that matches the color of the hair.

haircut reviews Choose a moisturizing shampoo to soften and smooth gray hair, making it appear lustrous. And use a a formula geared for gray once a week to counteract yellowing caused by sun, pollutants, hard water, and smoke–but no more than once a week because those formulas contain a blue tint that can cause hair to look purple. haircut reviews

haircut reviews While wearing your hair long, you may be able to cover more portions of your neck by asking the stylist to razor the ends of your hair. If the razor is correctly applied to the ends, slight waves or curls will form, sweeping over both your shoulders and neck. The result is that the hair successfully covers both the front and back portions of your neck. In addition, razored ends help to give a natural lift to hair that may have fallen limp or flat. haircut reviews

haircut reviews Get in shape. A hot blonde wardrobe usually consists of midriff-baring t-shirts and very short skirts. Unless you have good muscle definition and are properly proportioned, this type of clothing may not suit you. If you can, join the gym. If not, get some DVDs or dumbbells to work out at home, and add some running or bike riding for added intensity. haircut reviews

haircut reviews A long, luscious twist gets long hair out of the way in a flash and utilizes a large jaw clip. Gather your hair into a single ponytail at the nape of your neck. Twist the hair in one direction to create a tidy, twisted rope leaving a few inches of free hair at the end. haircut reviews

Advice On How To Pick A Pet Groomer

You can get a facial, a massage, and occasionally even a haircut there. Going to the spa can help us relax and improve our overall health. Your pet will benefit greatly from going to the neighbourhood pet groomer or having your preferred mobile pet groomer come to you. The process of picking a groomer is just as rigorous as picking your personal stylist or massage therapist. The following are a few elements of the Pet groomer Las Vegas to take into account while deciding which choice is ideal for your pet.

Obtain a few referrals from other pet owners who have animals of the same breed, from your veterinarian, or from a nearby animal shelter. You may phone or visit the groomers and inquire about their procedures after you have this reliable information. Businesses can also be reviewed on websites like Yelp! and Google, which are excellent sources of data about nearby establishments. You may find out which business sounds the best to you by reading about other pet owners' experiences getting their dogs or cats groomed. Then, give that company a call.

How well-kept are the grooming facilities? Mobile pet grooming companies should arrive at your house, place of business, or hotel in trucks or grooming vans that are clean and well-equipped. A mobile groomer is a fantastic option for folks who are busy but yet want the finest for their pets!

It's crucial to choose the correct groomer if you recently purchased a puppy and need to discover one. How long would someone spend looking for the ideal physician for their child? As a pet owner, you want to make sure that your puppy enjoys their first grooming appointment so that they will love going in for all subsequent appointments. Ask the prospective dog groomer how they will introduce the grooming procedure to the puppy while you are searching for the ideal specialist.

Does the groomer provide health notifications? Although it's not necessary, your dog's groomer will eventually get familiar to the physique of your dog and will be able to see changes like dental and gum issues, ear or skin infections, or cancers. Sometimes such early diagnoses might have a significant impact on your pet's health and wellbeing.

Instagram provides the capacity to share great deal of gorgeous details:…

Instagram provides the capacity to share great deal of gorgeous details:…

New haircuts, extravagant dinners, awe-inspiring getaways; but we skip on the crucial, wider traits. That we don’t want children, or are enthusiastic about our exes, or want to move never a lot more than five full minutes at home.

That right there clearly was why dating apps occur. They don’t enable you to skip during these things; you describe your self (in terms, perhaps perhaps perhaps not just photos), you tell individuals what you’re looking for, you list your goals. This would imply that tried-and-true online dating sites are safer, and are better – so why is Instagram doing this kind of good work?

While there’s yet become any research that is specific Insta-dating effectiveness to that particular of conventional internet dating sites, there’s no arguing that is a bona fide trend. There’s no shortage of online suggestions about simple tips to utilize Instagram to locate a substantial other. Further evidence are apps like Kisstagram (HotOrNot for Instagram) and InstaDating (no description required) to help make your motives more formal.

Yet intentions that are obscured engage in the appeal. With a normal relationship software, you all understand why you’re there – to find somebody, to guage each other being a potential mate. It is like planning to speed dating versus a club; you’re perhaps not looking to happen upon some body, you’re particularly try to find them. Instagram is much more spontaneous, more happen-stance than that. Also if you should be actively searching, no body however you has to understand.

You can argue the exact same holds true of Facebook – except so it’s perhaps not, and you’d be wrong. Arbitrarily friending some body on Twitter is forward and foreign; doing it on Instagram is par for the program. You want everything you see on Facebook, which can be frequently nothing but a profile image and perhaps a couple of other odds and ends; on Instagram, you prefer just exactly exactly what somebody else is seeing. This little barrier – he likes my pictures, my imagination, my funny captions – makes us more content. It’s much more coy.

Not merely are intimate relationships being made on Instagram, but friendships are way too. “I’ve made a lot of buddies through Instagram, ” claims photographer and creator regarding the popular hashtag task #storyportrait, Branden Harvey. “The first-time we actually made buddies via Instagram had been enough time we arbitrarily decided to road visit to Seattle from Portland for a week-end of hiking, eating, and adventuring. I made several of my close friends on that journey. Most of us talk on nearly a day-to-day basis. ”

Harvey’s present roomie, Ian Pratt, had been a pal he came across on Instagram. While photographing a conference in Portland, Pratt approached Harvey and stated the five little terms we all like to know (whether we acknowledge it or not): “I follow you on Instagram. ”

A post provided by Branden Harvey (@brandenharvey) on Mar 24, 2013 at 8:18pm PDT

“He invited me personally to have morning meal at a couple of other buddies to his home several times later on. We quickly built a friendship that is strong” claims Harvey.

Come july 1st, he’s attending the marriage of their buddies Carter and Brooke – a couple of who their only interactions with have now been via Instagram.

And also as we’ve recently seen, the Instagram community will rally around a great love story – and Lafargue and Wisdom are scarcely the actual only real ones who discovered and reported their love utilizing the software. Peter Cowans and Zitta John Cowans used one another on Instagram for a long time, he residing in the U.K., she in Oklahoma, developing emotions for starters another from afar and eventually engaged and getting married earlier this October.

“It had been couple of years of us both playing it truly cool, ” Peter informs me. Both he and Zitta remember the way they wants photos or keep reviews, but before they actually spoke that it was six months. They’re currently trying to return through their Instagram account task, searching through hashtags and queries, to determine what picture it absolutely was they “met” through.

“She had been enthusiastic about my account over FaceTime because I didn’t take loads of pictures of myself standing in front of the mirror, and I was interested in her’s because she’s fucking gorgeous, ” he confessed to me. The newlyweds, obviously enamored with each other and sharing a cam, held fingers the time that is whole.

Peter defines their wife’s Instagram account as fascinating and genuine. “I have a look at her life as one thing I’ve never envisioned or dreamed; a thing that beautiful and colorful. ”

“Following her ended up being like after a hollywood. ”

Zitta explained the odd truth of a attraction through Instagram. “It’s this little crush, where there’s this individual as well as because it’s like this separate reality though you might date other people, it’s OK. This crush on the reverse side regarding the global globe. ”

Ultimately they hit up a long-distance love. Their tale resonated with many supporters that Peter created an account that is second the wedding planning – the afternoon Zitta’s gown had been finished, the afternoon her ring arrived in, once they travelled to Las Vegas – and also other items of their life together.

Perhaps dozens of images that are aspirational really making us get to be the individuals we Instagram become.

The two say they’ve came across numerous partners who additionally came across over Instagram, and make use of the application to gather and share their everyday lives. The help goes further: residing a huge number of kilometers aside and simply hitched, Zitta chose to begin a campaign that is gofundme try to raise cash to see her spouse. While family and friends donated, so strangers that are did had followed their tale. “There were four contributors we’ve never had interaction with; one girl provided us $50, ” says Cowans. The couple additionally auctioned off products from their wedding to invest in their travels to fulfill one another, which Instagram followers bid on.

That feeling of community is really what is therefore vital to Instagram’s success. It is not only concerning the people who meet, or whom find motivation in one person’s pictures. It’s concerning the vast, global community that’s being produced round the system.

“I think a few things donate to Instagram being great at linking individuals in actual life, ” claims Harvey. “One is it is a platform that is visual with individuals whom appreciate beauty and adventure. Lots of Instagrammers have that in keeping. Similarly, once you share an experience that is grand somebody, you form a stronger relationship with them. ”

And it is it ever embarrassing, fulfilling therefore strangers that are many flavor in shareable photos is one of you understand about them? “Honestly, we can’t think about a time that is single had an embarrassing encounter with individuals we met through Instagram, ” claims Harvey. Possibly that’s since they understand when you should manage to get thier faces out of phones.

“Sometimes while spending time with other friends whom utilize Instagram, we produce a aware choice to show our phones off and select not to ever talk about the software of course you like a great deal. Our relationship goes beyond a straightforward iPhone app. ”

Possibly dozens of aspirational pictures are really making us end up being the individuals we Instagram to be. Perhaps all these love stories and friendships spurred by the application happen ourselves and our lives, and then we work to epitomize them because we show people the best pieces of. Perhaps seeing is thinking, and now we connect with, trust fall and– in love – with individuals through visuals much better than we do contrived sentences in questionnaire type.

But http://datingmentor.org/seeking-arrangement-review exactly what better method to explore this trend than to live it? I made a decision to make contact with Harvey, who I’ve followed for over a 12 months now and whom follows me personally on instagram. We often shoot him an email whenever I’m focusing on story about Instagram, but we’d never ever really met up despite having roots into the Northwest and staying in and around Portland. While our intentions aren’t intimate here, the procedure is the exact same: We observed and approval that is double-tapped of other’s pictures; then we emailed; then exchanged figures. Then we had coffee.

We, obviously, discussed Instagram – but I also found out he’s through the populous town where my cousin simply graduated from veterinarian school, and then we both choose Canons. We want to travel, but the western shore still is like house. Fulfilling up wasn’t uncomfortable, or contrived – which will be something online daters frequently complain about. Simply a couple whom first saw odds and ends of 1 another’s life through their eyes before decided that a actual life friendship (or maybe more) could be just like Instagram-worthy.

A Nifty Vegas Saturday

This fake street at New York NY always amuses me. From 1997 to 2001, we lived in a third floor walk-up above a hardware store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. With a black wrought-iron fire escape and a window air conditioner. My old ‘neighborhood’ set the scene for a day in my new ‘neighborhood.’

As a once-again Vegas local, I’ve quickly adapted to the locals’ most popular activity: NOT going to The Strip. Most of the times I have ventured onto Las Vegas Boulevard in Unincorporated Clark County, it’s been to visit friends from out of town. 

I made an exception last Saturday to watch Mr. Vegas, John Katsilometes, get an extreme haircut. It’s an annual ritual for Johnny Kats, the Man About Town Columnists for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Here’s his ‘before’ picture in front of New York - New York.

It’s a longtime tradition for John as part of the annual fundraiser for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation which helps children with cancer. That’s quite the favorite cause these days at That’s Gold. John got his clipping (or some of it) from former Mayor Oscar Goodman. 

And here’s the ‘after’ shot - before John could don the nifty grey fedora that will certainly be his life companion for the next two months.

One more sighting at the Brooklyn Bridge: comic John Caparulo, who performs several nights a week at Harrah’s. I’ve seen him on TV for more than a decade. His tight one hour, ten minute show (that’s Vegas Law) was painfully funny (I caught it Sunday night). And I bought a Cap ‘cap’ to benefit St. Baldrick’s. 

Then it was off to MGM Grand, and a couple of appetizers at Emeril’s before the Ducks-Bruins semi-final game of the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament. The Ducks blew a good sized lead, but held on in overtime - helped by a four-point play courtesy of a T on the Bruins coach.

That was enough for me. One last look at The Strip from the MGM-NYNY overpass... and I called it a night. At 10pm. Yeah, I’m old.

What’s Your Natural Hair Texture Like, and Do You Style to Emphasize It, or Style to Change It?

My natural hair texture falls into a couple of different categories. The top layers of my hair have a very loose wavy pattern, and the right side has tighter waves than the left side. This weirdness/uneven curl pattern business made finding a hair stylist a nightmare adventure, and speaking of that, when my friend Alis, who has been doing my hair for years — she lives in Las Vegas now but comes back to the Bay Area every few weeks to do her clients’ hair — finally decides that she’s over traveling and stays in Vegas for good, I’m gonna cry so many glittery tears…

Anyway, what was I saying?

Oh, yeah! — that whole uneven curl pattern business has led to many disastrous haircuts over the years, with the right side ending up shorter than the left. It’s been a verifiable pain in the @ss.

To make matters even more complicated, underneath my top layers my hair is straight, so I have TWO different textures going on, and at this point in my life, I don’t really do anything to fight it. I kind of just go with the flow. At the most, I’ll wash it and let it air dry, then use a large-barrel curling iron to add some waves around my face to kind of get them to curl out and away from my face.

haircut las vegas When drying short, naturally curly hairstyles, Garrison says to use a wide-tooth comb and gently detangle the hair, then shape with fingers and let air dry as much as 95%. It is important to use a blowdryer with a diffuser, and not to fluff or scrunch hair, as this produces frizz.

haircut las vegas Oscar winner Diablo Cody recently chopped off her locks into a short, sexy pixie cut. Pixies are great because they are hassle-free. Just wash, add a little bit of product to give it some shape and you’re set. They’re also low risk when it comes to coloring because even if you don’t love the color, you just have to grow it out a bit, cut it off and start over again.

haircut las vegas Some women—especially those who are transitioning from chemically straightened hair to natural hair—choose a short-cropped style sometimes called a TWA (teeny weeny afro). While the hair is at its very shortest and growing out, they can “dress up” their style by wearing colorful headwraps and scarves. Those scarves can be purchased at many hair-care stores in African- or Caribbean-immigrant neighborhoods. They’re also available at websites that specialize in hair-care products for black women.

haircut las vegas As they age, many women may experience dull, damaged hair; strands that are thinning; and a loss of body, but that doesn’t mean they can’t fight back with the right products and cut. Root boosters, volumizing sprays, and smoothing serums can help add volume and shine to aging hair, while leave-in conditioners can help soften coarse, frizzy strands, says David Groshen, owner of David Groshen Salon in New York City. For hair that’s thinning, a cut with subtle, volume-building layers is an easy fix, Crosby adds.

haircut las vegas Curls are very stylish right now, especially short curls. For thin hair, curls add thickness. Natural curls You can style and better define natural curls with styling mousse or curl-activating products. Shampoo and condition your hair with products made for curly hair. Dry your hair with a head dryer or a blow dryer with the diffuser attachment. If your hair isn’t naturally curly, achieve this look with setting lotion and plastic curling rollers. While your hair is wet, spray it with setting lotion. Roll your hair in small sections to fit the size of the rollers. Sit under a hooded dryer or air dry. When your hair is dry, unroll it and apply an oil-based moisturizer. Pull the curls apart gently with your fingers. Let your hair frame your face or pull it back with a headband. haircut las vegas

haircut las vegas A scarf can be used as a hair accessory for both long and short hair styles. Tie a scarf around the crown of the head to use as a headband. Take a blast into the past and tie a scarf tied around a pony tail. A scarf can be used as a decorative hair band that ties just behind the ear as well. On cooler days, use a scarf as a head wrap like the old Hollywood films and tie it loosely in the front under your chin. Use a scarf in place of a leather belt to hold up skirts, pants or shorts. haircut las vegas

haircut las vegas People go gray at different ages. For some it happens in their twenties and others in their forties. There comes a moment when you may want to stop coloring over gray hair or just grow out the gray hair. When considering what kinds of hairstyles will work if you want to cut your hair and let the gray grow out, consider what is flattering to your face. Keep in mind that the shorter that you cut your hair, the faster the gray hair will grow out.

Leah Sottile | Longreads | July 2019 | 25 minutes (6,186 words)

Part 1 of 5 of Bundyville: The Remnant, season two of Bundyville, a series and podcast from Longreads and OPB. Catch up on season one of Bundyville here.

I.

When the house around the corner exploded, Richard Katschke and his wife, Karen, were reading scripture. The retired pair looked up from the pages and froze. In another room, a plastic light cover clattered to the floor.

It was a warm Wednesday. Mid-July 2016, about 8 p.m. Outside, a boy rode his bike near South Fifth Street. A man started a lawn mower.  

The Katschkes were seated on a brown leather couch in a room they’d added onto their Panaca, Nevada, house years earlier for Richard’s elderly mother — both he and Karen called her “Mom.” She lived there until the Katschkes made her more comfortable at the nearby hospital in her final days, where a quiet nurse would rub her feet with cream and stay by her side, watching the old woman’s eyes for a sign she was ready to be with God.

The Katschkes never imagined that nurse, 59-year-old Glenn Jones, would, in the last seconds of his life, commit a bombing around the corner from their house — a cataclysmic event that would send a family screaming from their home seconds before it exploded and, even now, three years later, would still have no official explanation from federal authorities. 

Glen Wadsworth was the last person to see Jones alive. He was pushing a lawn mower across the grass at his childhood home. Inside, his elderly father sat in front of the television. 

Ever since Wadsworth was a teenager, he mowed the lawn the exact same way: pushing and pulling the machine from front yard to side yard to back. But for a reason he still can’t quite understand, that July evening he pushed and pulled a different way than ever before: front, back, side.

Wadsworth — a tall man with straight teeth and neatly combed hair who serves as a member of the local volunteer fire department — looked up from his mower to see Jones back a car up to the gray house next door, where Joshua and Tiffany Cluff lived with their three daughters. Jones parked, got out of the car, and waved to Wadsworth. Wadsworth waved back and continued mowing. He didn’t know Jones, but thought he looked familiar from when the Cluffs built the gray house and friends chipped in on the work. 

Wadsworth didn’t see or hear Tiffany and her girls run out of the house, screaming into the telephone.

“911, What is your emergency?” the operator said.

“I … Someone … somebody showed up at my house with a bomb,” Tiffany Cluff panted into her neighbor’s phone. “He’s going to blow my house up.” 

“Ma’am. Ma’am. Take a breath for me, OK? I can barely understand ya. What is happening?”

“We’re running away from my house,” Tiffany, hysterical, choked on her words. “I grabbed my kids and I ran.”

“He said he was going to kill you?”

“He said he was going to blow the house up.”

“OK, all right, take a couple breaths for me,” the dispatcher said. “Are you away from the home?”

“Ye—”

Tiffany couldn’t even finish the word “yes” before the sound of a bomb exploding and the heart-stopping screaming of three little girls flattened any other noise coming through the receiver. 

“Oh my god!” she screamed. “He just blew my house up!”

Down the street, Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee — one of Glen Wadsworth’s oldest friends — was out in his yard with his dog when the blast shook his ribcage. 

Lee smiles a lot for a cop — a wide, friendly grin under a thick mustache and a flat-top haircut. And in Panaca, he wears a lot of hats: He’s the sheriff, but he’s also the chief of the volunteer fire department and the county coroner. By July 2016, he’d been in law enforcement for nearly 30 years, and he knew that in Panaca, loud noises are often easily explained: a sonic boom from a military aircraft flying low around Nellis Air Force Base or the Nevada Test and Training Range. 

But this was different. Normal noises don’t shake you from the inside. The sheriff yanked his dog into the house, grabbed the keys to his patrol rig, and sprinted back out again. He paused, trying to understand why, all around him, it sounded like a hailstorm was falling from the clear blue sky: “I knew something wasn’t right.” 

Wadsworth was still mowing. He didn’t hear Jones shoot himself as he sat in the front seat of the car. Maybe the mower drowned out the sharp pop of the gun, or maybe he’d just fired so many gunshots of his own across the dry desert that he had conditioned himself not to flinch at the sound. But when he looked up from his mower and saw the house next door on fire, he sprinted toward it, believing the family was inside. He ran toward the house, but at the front door, it was as if he ran right smack into the palm of an invisible hand. “It was just like a wall. I just couldn’t.” 

Another explosion sounded on the 911 call.

Sheriff Lee could see a mushroom cloud billowing when he looked down South Fifth Street. He assumed it had to be a fire, a gas explosion, an exploded transformer. A bomb? Here? In Panaca? Never crossed his mind. 

The windows of the Wadsworth home exploded inward and a hunk of Jones’s car rocketed straight toward the old man sitting in his chair, landing just short at his feet. Glen Wadsworth, somehow, wasn’t hit by a thing. 

The chipping house next door to the Cluff home inched sideways on its foundation. A chunk of shrapnel careened toward the boy on his bike, hitting him so hard in the shoulder that it knocked him to the ground, but miraculously, only left a small bruise. 

The two explosions sent hot metal shrapnel flying upward, curving in long arcs over the remote desert town. A half mile away, debris rained on the high school. The football team, outside doing drills, dropped to the ground. Daggers of shrapnel stabbed into the sides of nearby houses. One piece punched through the roof of a garage, piercing the hood of the car parked inside. 

In a town where nothing ever happens, a town where there are no secrets, suddenly there was mayhem. 

“It was Glenn Jones,” Tiffany Cluff cried to the 911 dispatcher. “He said he was going to kill himself and blow up our house.”

As Sheriff Lee drove closer, he could see the destroyed house: It looked like a giant had mashed the house with colossal fists and twisted a car into a grotesque tangle of metal, leaving a deep crater in the pavement. 

“Cars blow up like that in a movie,” Lee said. “They don’t normally blow up like that.”

Neighbors who’d gathered at the corner of Fifth and Hansen waved the sheriff down. “Stop! Stop!” he remembers them shouting as he pulled up to the scene. “You’re running over body parts!” 

Sure enough, there on the ground lay a pair of legs. 

It would be 14 hours before investigators would find the rest of Glenn Jones. His torso had flown out of sight, high into a neighbor’s tree.

Though the investigation was transferred to the hands of federal authorities, Sheriff Lee — in another of his roles, as county coroner — inspected the top half of the body when it was fished down from the branches. He was surprised to see two tattoos on the chest. 

One clearly read DNR — medical code for “do not resuscitate.” The other was a phone number for the man whose house he had just exploded: Joshua Cluff.

***

A gravelly town on the sinful side of the Utah-Nevada border, the desert outpost of Panaca was established in the 1860s by Mormon pioneers whose legacies live on in the few street names here and in the last names of the people who still call this place home. 

Today, Panaca is like a peninsula of Utah: the only town in Nevada that is dry, and one of just two in the state where gambling is prohibited. If you want a beer, you’ll have to drive 15 miles to Caliente — pronounced around these parts as “Cal-yen-ee” — to get one, at a smoky bar along a peeling downtown strip. Panaca, Caliente — they’re what you picture when you think of a Western town: At night, tumbleweeds blow down the middle of empty streets, coming to rest against a hardware store with deer heads and bobcat pelts on display in the window. 

It’s a place where you know your neighbor, and you know that really knowing him means understanding what’s your business and what isn’t.

Most Panacans worship together at an LDS church right smack in the center of town. A single market sells snacks and produce. The streets are pocked and rough. Chickens hustle busily in some yards, horses graze in others. Here and there, piles of junk look like they’ve been battered by desert winds for decades. Next to the high school, a massive mint-green rock formation called Court Rock bubbles skyward, named for the way young folks traditionally have “courted” there; on my visit, a condom wrapper stomped into the silty mud at the rock’s foot suggested that’s still the case.

A sign displaying the Ten Commandments guards the town, as if its presence will keep the Devil out. Panaca may have a Nevada zip code, but Lord knows it’s God’s country. 

Panaca is the birthplace of John Yeates Barlow, one of the most influential leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — a group that still practices polygamy. LDS folks here are adamant that they would never want to be confused for FLDS, but most don’t mind having them as neighbors.

Mormonism, after all, is what built Panaca, and polygamists historically have had a place in Lincoln County. In the mid-2000s, essentially with the blessing of the FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs, a group that operated a 3,000-acre ranch more than 40 miles north of the town. The Caliente-Panaca area was a special place for Jeffs: At the Caliente Hot Springs Motel, Jeffs reportedly held underage wedding ceremonies at a moment’s notice. 

When the FLDS farm sprung up, Sheriff Lee said the group was clear that they didn’t want the police in their business. So he drove up to introduce himself, shook their hands, and assured them they could call if they needed help. They were “good, good people,” he said, who were living under the direction of Jeffs: “A bad guy. A bad man.” (After a conviction on charges of felony rape was reversed by the Utah Supreme Court, Jeffs was sentenced by a Texas court to life in prison for sexually assaulting two followers — age 12 and 15 — in what his church deemed a “spiritual marriage.”)

Living here means looking the other way sometimes. Picking your battles. More than one Panacan told me they wouldn’t want to speculate about why a bombing occurred in their town, but then offered an opinion anyway: A lot of people here think the bomb was simply a loud, messy expression of a workplace grievance between Glenn Jones and Joshua Cluff. 

Jones, for years, did live in Panaca, and worked under Joshua Cluff as a nurse at the Grover C. Dils Medical Center in Caliente — just across the highway from the Caliente Hot Springs. Records from the Nevada State Board of Nursing show Jones’s license was revoked after he failed to “document administration or waste” of three separate doses of morphine in a two-month span. Messages left for Grover C. Dils Medical Center staff for this story went unreturned, but in 2016 one administrator told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Jones left his job there voluntarily and on good terms. Even so, some Panacans think maybe Jones blamed Cluff, and that’s enough explanation for why he bombed him. Sheriff Lee is skeptical of the whole workplace grievance theory. “I don’t think that was a major reason for the bombing,” Lee said.

After leaving his nursing job, Jones moved several hours south to a blue-and-white-striped mobile home in the Zuni Village RV Park in Kingman, Arizona. His camper, parked in Space #69, was at the center of the park, surrounded by homes with mostly graying retired folks. 

Upon entering Jones’s RV the day after the explosion in Panaca, bomb technicians found multiple devices, several of which were “fully functional,” one officer wrote in his report. A neighbor told police they’d seen him carrying a large artillery shell into his RV, but Jones was known to buy items like it in the area, restoring and reselling them to other collectors. So most people didn’t bat an eye.

But police accounts paint a picture of a trailer brimming with bomb-making materials: metal containers, fuses, power tools, smokeless powder. Ammo cans were stacked under his dining room table. Even his shower had projectiles inside. 

On a nightstand, investigators found three spiral-bound notebooks each with Jones’s name written on the front. Inside one, he had drawn diagrams for a bomb, which gave investigators reason to believe the devices were originally intended for a different target. 

“The entries indicated that Glenn Jones had been approached [by] a subject identified as ‘Josh’ who offered to pay him to construct an explosive device,” wrote one detective. 

“The intended target of the device was identified on one page as ‘Forth of July BLM Field Office,’” the detective continued. “The journal entries indicate that there was a falling out between Jones and ‘Josh,’ and that Jones instead decided to target ‘Josh’ with his explosive device, or ‘bomb.’

“Jones went on to document that ‘Josh’ is the cousin of LaVoy Finicum and seemed to indicate this was a possible motive for the planned attack on the BLM Field Office.”

In his office, up the road from Panaca in the town of Pioche, Nevada, Sheriff Lee keeps a large chunk of the bomb — one of the pieces the FBI didn’t seize. Just touching a finger to its razor-sharp edges is enough to draw blood. “These bombs were actually bomb artillery shells made to make shrapnel,” he said, “made to kill people.”

****

At the heart of what little is known about the events in Panaca was the handwritten documentation left behind by the bomber. It makes clear that Jones had an interest in Finicum — one of the central figures in the so-called Patriot movement, a collection of anti-government groups that includes the conspiratorial militia-types and sovereign citizens who flocked to the anti-government standoffs and way of thinking popularized by the Bundy family. Finicum was only ever in the movement at the end of his life, but he became a martyr for it in his death in January 2016, when he was shot and killed by law enforcement. He was fleeing a traffic stop in Oregon during which authorities intended to arrest the leaders of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

The car Jones blew up in Panaca was a rental. When police entered the dark green 2007 Saturn Ion that Jones owned, parked in an Avis rental car parking lot, inside they found out more about Jones and Cluff. There was a 2014 contract for a land purchase with both of their names on it and an agreement for Jones to pay Cluff $50,000. 

Two years before the bombing, Jones also deposited $9,000 into an interest-bearing bank account that would mature in one year and, ultimately, be payable at the time of his death to one person: Cluff. 

Much like in the rest of the U.S., people in Panaca don’t talk much about domestic terrorism these days. They likely have a better reason to talk about it than other Americans, but Panacans explain the bombing away — that what’s important to remember is that some  gesture of holy providence saved them that day. 

At the town’s only bed and breakfast, the mother of the kid on the bike — the only person to be hit by shrapnel — served me pancakes and eggs in the morning and mentioned she thinks “angels of our ancestors” were watching over the town that day the bomb went off. 

Panacans believe their collective faith in God bent the trajectories of shrapnel to miss Wadsworth and his father. That faith kept shards of glass out of eyes, harnessed flames and surging power lines, and kept the Cluff family alive. 

If God saved this town, why think about the bad parts of the story anymore — even if there’s never been an official explanation for what happened? Besides, could domestic terrorism really happen in a place like this, where everyone knows everyone else, where every house is a home? 

People laugh darkly about the bombing now: The way, a few days later, a lady caught her dog gnawing on an unfamiliar bone and realized his snack was actually human. The way people still find odd remnants and assume they’re pieces of shrapnel. The way dozens of birds, for weeks, pecked away at some of the Chinese elm trees where Jones’s body parts landed.

Every spring, when Richard Katchske plants a line of flowers along his fence, he digs out twisted nobs of shrapnel from the dirt. Katchske showed me a piece, holding a brownish-black gnarl in his palm. I could have it if I wanted. I declined.

“It’ll be a legacy I pass on to my kids,” he laughed.

  II.

Last year, when Bundyville came out, I felt satisfied that I’d found the answers I’d come looking for about the Bundy family and the Patriot movement, and I felt I had a sense of their place in America’s long-standing anti-government movement. 

The Bundys created flash points members of those movements could rally around: Their very public confrontation in 2014 near their Bunkerville, Nevada, ranch was borne out of long-simmering discontent with how federal agencies have treated rural people in the American West. In the case of the Bundy family, that was combined with specific gripes about how Mormon pioneers, who tried to flee America in the 1800s to create a new homeland, were treated. Then, in the 1950s, those same people in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah were showered with nuclear fallout without any warning from the government. But the 2014 standoff was also based on a conspiracy theory being pushed by the Bundys: that the feds couldn’t actually own land, and that the Bundys were entitled to graze cattle on public land for free.

So by 2014, when Bureau of Land Management agents came to collect on long-unpaid federal grazing fees — racked up by the family patriarch, Cliven Bundy, as his cattle lived on public land without a BLM permit — the family combined forces with anti-government militia groups willing to point guns at those officials. And it worked. They kept their cows. The Patriot movement declared victory. The feds turned tail. 

Then, in 2016, when two of Bundy’s sons, Ammon and Ryan, helped lead the 41-day armed takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, it was the sequel to Bundy Ranch. Anti-government groups looking to stick a finger (or a gun barrel) in the government’s eye convened in one location, as if to dare the feds to chase them out. They talked about Waco and Ruby Ridge. They said they were ranchers upset over grazing prices and the arrest and conviction of Dwight and Steven Hammond, two Oregon cattlemen who’d gone to prison for setting fire to federal land. But really, it was an event that brought out kitted-up militia guys and kitted-up guys who wanted to look like militia guys, sovereign citizens, jaded veterans, Islamophobes, white supremacists, and fringe politicians out in force.

One of the few actual ranchers who did come to the Bundys’ side at Malheur was Finicum: a 54-year-old Arizona rancher who assumed a leadership role at the Oregon occupation and was killed there. But in his death, the Patriot movement got a new martyr. 

Last year, I thought I knew what that meant, how this concept of “Bundyville,” to me, was a state of mind. You believe whatever you want about the world, even if you know very well it isn’t true — as if by thinking this way you will manifest it into existence. And that felt like a way of understanding the deep divides in America right now. 

But then, something I didn’t expect happened. 

After we released Bundyville, these conspiracy theories I’d heard about in the Patriot movement — ones that were always there, but never central to my reporting on the Bundy family — started popping into the headlines more and more. The Guardian reported that investigators, upon looking into motivations for why Stephen Paddock committed a deadly shooting spree in Las Vegas, encountered stories of his supposed sovereign citizen ideology and a purported belief that FEMA runs concentration camps meant to round up Americans.

Then, in March 2019, a Florida man named Cesar Sayoc Jr. pleaded guilty to mailing 16 explosives to a dozen prominent Democrats and billionaire investor George Soros. Within the Patriot movement, talk about Soros — who has been the target of conspiratorial rhetoric by Trump — was something I’d heard more than once. But now the President of the United States was known for floating conspiracies about Soros. Last fall, he told reporters he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the caravan of migrants approaching the southern border were paid to come to the U.S. He added, “a lot of people say” the migrants were funded by Soros.

Back in 2016, when I covered the Oregon Standoff trial, I spent a lot of time talking to Patriot Movement supporters outside the courthouse. Our conversations, often, would feel normal until, quite suddenly, they’d take a hard turn; conversations about federal overreach would turn to conspiracies about the so-called New World Order, shadowy cabals of “globalist” leaders, implementation of sharia law, and supposed terrorist training camps in the U.S. They told me about Agenda 21 — a United Nations plan of action, which they believed would use sustainable development to redistribute wealth and turn the U.S. into a communist state. They talked about Uranium One, a conspiracy in which Hillary Clinton supposedly sold uranium to Russia in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation.

I wrote them all down, but then threw those notepads into a blue Rubbermaid bin in my office and mostly forgot about them.

But those conspiracy theories kept resurfacing. The day after Sayoc was arrested, another conspiracy theorist was in the news: An antisemite named Robert Bowers, who’d been posting to a social media site largely populated by racists, and stands accused of opening fire in a Pittsburgh synagogue, murdering 11 and injuring 7 — motivated by his apparent belief that Jews are “children of Satan” and were to blame for any problems in the United States. 

I’d heard things like this before, too, when learning about how Christian Identity — some followers of which believe that Jews are the spawn of Eve and Satan — drove people to form the Posse Comitatus movement, which considered the northwestern United States as a possible outpost for an all-white nation. People like that have found a home, too, within the Patriot movement. 

When I asked Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League, about conspiracist thinking, he offered that a conspiracy theory develops as a way of fitting in with someone’s worldview. Or it can explain a dramatic event with an equally dramatic theory. He uses President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and more than 50 years of conspiracy theories about what occurred that day — as an example of how the psychology functions. “It’s a psychological thing where what actually happened is simply too simple for someone to be satisfied with,” he said. “The idea that one person killed the president is just not satisfactory to some people. For such a big event like that they seek an equally big and complex explanation.”

Pitcavage sees conspiracy theories as the beating heart of the anti-government movement: “All the main movements in the Patriot movement are dominated by conspiracy theories.”

Suddenly, these ideas I’d scribbled down a few years ago were becoming a key conversation in America, and they gave me a sense of what the fringe edge of the far right was willing to believe. So when the president floated half-baked stories to push his agenda, they were willing to hop on board.

As steam built during the government shutdown in the winter of 2019 around President Trump’s plan to build a border wall along the southern edge of the United States, I felt like I was watching a Patriot movement passion project come to fruition. Trump, by then, was justifying the wall’s construction by telling tall tales that cartels were sending drugs over the border and terrorists were streaming into the country. Even Rep. Will Hurd, a Republican representative from Texas called bullshit.

One of the Bundys seemed to be talking relative sense on this topic. Throughout the past few years I’ve heard the family continually explain their unsubstantiated interpretation of the United States Constitution — and now Ammon Bundy, of all people, was telling his acolytes that Trump’s rhetoric about “the wall” wasn’t real. He called for compassion for people fleeing persecution, poverty, and fear. Trump, he said, “has basically called them all criminals,” and Bundy urged his followers to see that the president was peddling conspiracies.

Ammon Bundy in a video posted to Facebook in 2018, which made some internet commenters joke that he was becoming “woke.”

“What about individuals? What about those who have come for reasons of need for their families?” Bundy asked in a Facebook video. “The fathers, the mothers, and the children that come here and are willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?” Bundy scoffed that anyone could actually believe migrants had been paid by George Soros.

Some of his followers were outraged. Chatter went around online about Ammon Bundy being “woke.” My head spun. I called Ammon Bundy at his Idaho home as news outlets were breathlessly reporting that Cliven Bundy’s most well-known son had left the militia movement. I, too, was interested. Here he was, dividing himself from a group of people from which he’d so clearly benefited. Suddenly, the most anti-government of his followers needed to choose who to believe: Bundy, a man who had twice led them in confrontations with the feds, or the commander in chief himself, the literal embodiment of the government. Many chose the president. Even if what Trump was saying wasn’t based in reality, he was pushing an anti-immigration stance they could get behind.

Maybe Ammon Bundy realized that and saw it was a good time to bow out. His family was free. The Hammonds — the other ranchers at the center of the Bundy-led Malheur standoff — got a pardon from Trump last summer. Anti–public lands figures cycled in and out of the Department of the Interior. Bundy’s brother, Ryan, ran and lost his bid for Nevada governor, but otherwise, things were coming up Bundy. 

Over the phone, Ammon claimed never to have been in the militia movement, and he told me people with fringe ideas have always been the minority of those who come to his family’s side. “Ninety-eight percent probably or better are people that are very peaceful people,” he said. “At Malheur, we considered ourselves to be on the people’s land, and who am I to say [militias] could come or couldn’t come? That makes it difficult to police yourselves.” 

So I asked him: OK, what’s next? 

“I had a reporter a few months ago come to my house and he said, ‘I hear you’re building a 100-man army. No! It couldn’t be farther from the truth,” he said. “I was like, ‘I don’t know what I would do with an army.’” 

Would he make a “hard stand” again? 

“I certainly would if there was an individual or family that I felt would benefit from it. But heavens no,” he said without hesitation. He said he’s “not afraid to do what’s right,” but that as far as another standoff is concerned: “I have no desire, I don’t believe that is where change will be made.”Maybe the Bundys are only anti-government when it’s convenient for them. But — and this sounds crazy even to me — I have to hand it to Ammon Bundy for trying to talk some sense into a historically itchy movement, to use his position to call for calm and normalcy. 

And that’s why I realized we had to make more Bundyville. We are living in Bundyville. The truth is not winning. The center is not holding. The anti-government is now pro-president. And as I continued to report on the stories that make up this series, blood kept being spilled around the world in the name of conspiracies. In Pittsburgh, in New Zealand, in Southern California.

The president of the United States is floating conspiracy theories shared by the most radical members of the anti-government movement I’ve been reporting on. By February 2019, at a rally, Trump enthusiastically acknowledged the founder and several members of the Oath Keepers — an anti-government militia — who were standing directly behind him in the front row, grinning underneath their signature black-and-yellow logoed hats. 

Maybe even Ammon Bundy doesn’t know the true reach of who came to his family’s side, or who they might have emboldened. The Patriot movement has been violent before, and violent people came to the family’s confrontations with the government, but didn’t get a fight.  

So what’s to say the Patriots won’t be violent again, especially if — under federal prosecutors’ scrutiny and an opposing House — Democrats try to impeach Donald Trump? What then?

  III. 

Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee, to this day, has never gotten a closure report from the FBI or an explanation for why Glenn Jones did what he did, and why, in the days and weeks after the 2016 explosion, Joshua Cluff never provided insight either.

The Cluffs were clearly victimized: Their family barely made it out alive, their house was destroyed, their children were traumatized. They don’t even live in Panaca anymore. 

When the media tried to speak to him about what happened, Cluff was confrontational — saying reporters were revictimizing his family. When a TV reporter approached, Cluff jumped into a car that drove away. He gave one “angry telephone interview” to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, in which he told reporters that he didn’t have any idea why Jones did what he did: “Do you know why crazy people do crazy things before they do them?” he asked. He told those reporters the FBI “fully exonerated” him, but my multiple requests for clarification from the FBI went unanswered.

In Kingman, Arizona — where Glenn Jones lived at the time of his death — he was as well-liked by the people there as he was in Panaca, remembered for his deference more than anything else. In fact, no one in Panaca said a bad word to me about Jones; though most wouldn’t even say his name. They referred to him as “the suspect” or “the person.” On the other hand, a few people had choice words about Cluff — the victim of the bombing.

Jones “was a quiet unassuming guy. Never gave us any trouble,” said Kevin McCumber, who has managed the Zuni Village RV Park, where Jones lived, for the past five years. “In fact if you were having a bad day, he would come tell you a joke.”

In the days before the bombing, McCumber said, Jones came to his office and made a surprising offer. “There was a gentleman who lived near him who was suffering and was going through chemo. Jones came over and paid this guy’s rent,” he recalled. Jones was clear: If the guy asks, say you don’t know who paid his rent for him.

The Panaca investigation, within hours of the explosion, became the jurisdiction of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, among other agencies. Soon, even Lee wasn’t sure what to tell people about what happened on his own street. All he had to go on was a severed torso with a strange tattoo and what he read in the newspapers. 

And Cluff wasn’t cooperating either. Lee didn’t know Cluff well — but his mind went to an incident years earlier, when he’d asked him, in his capacity at the hospital, to help with an individual who needed medical attention. 

For reasons Lee declined to detail, the state needed to intervene, but that enraged Cluff, who made it clear to Lee that he didn’t think the government should make decisions for people — even if they needed help. “I got a little bit of an eye opening about how Josh felt about government overreach,” Lee told me, picking his words carefully. 

In the six months between the Oregon standoff and the bombing at his home, Cluff actively posted on Facebook about his support of the Bundy family and shared posts about the death of Finicum, his cousin. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Cluff, at one time, shared several posts from anti-government militia groups.

At one point, Cluff changed his profile picture to Finicum’s signature “LV” cattle brand — something that’s worn on bumper stickers and shirts of Patriots and even tattooed on the bodies of some. Cluff was raised in the same town where several members of the Finicum family live: Fredonia, Arizona — a tiny town on the Arizona-Utah border. 

Today, the area where Cluff’s house used to be is just an empty lot filled with mud. I walked the whole perimeter of it, stared at it on a cold winter morning thinking some answer to what really happened there would present itself. But all I got were muddy shoes and nervous looks from a guy standing quietly on his porch across the street, watching. 

Earlier this year, I reached out to Cluff on Facebook, and asked for an interview. After a couple of messages, Cluff wrote back: 

“We are just happy and not trying to dig up the past,” he said.

I typed out a message immediately — that I wasn’t trying to compromise that happiness, but that it seemed like his side of the story hadn’t come out. What, in his mind, was the truth? Why did Glenn Jones have his phone number tattooed on his body? What did the FBI ask him and Tiffany when they interviewed them? And why — if the answer was so clear that Jones was suicidal and crazy — was the investigation still open? I hit send. 

But by then, Cluff had blocked me. 

***

The way Sheriff Lee sees it, there are things the federal government could do better. The last time it was measured, in 2010, about 98 percent of his county was federal land — and, because of that, people there brush up against federal agencies more than most Americans. But that’s not to say they’re anti-government — far from it. 

But even Lee can partially understand where the Bundys’ arguments about the feds come from: Lee’s dad’s was a rancher, and the way the BLM decides to handle where they can graze their cattle, what water they can drink, can be frustrating. But people work with the BLM to figure out solutions. 

“I feel like we get so tied down with government regulation and oversight that we feel like nothing gets done,” he said. But to take up arms? To point guns? To flee from a traffic stop? That’s crazy. 

But that’s the confusion of the Patriot movement, he said.

“You have both in the Patriot movement. I feel like I think you have the normal Joe blow guy [that thinks] the government’s way too big,” he told me. “And then I think you have the one that’s like … ‘We shouldn’t even have the government.’”

Cluff was vocal about his views on Facebook — but did that make him a member of the Patriot movement? Was he the “Josh” Jones was referring to in his journals, in the same breath as bombs and blowing up BLM facilities? Why would Cluff go into business with the man who would bomb him — and then write that off to reporters as the work of a crazy person? 

In June 2016, just before the bombs detonated at Cluff’s house, a militiaman in LaVoy Finicum’s inner circle, named Bill Keebler, thought he had a bomb on his hands, too. And he thought he got away with destroying a federally owned BLM building, far out in the Arizona desert.  

I asked Sheriff Lee about this — how three weeks before Cluff’s home blew up, believed he had bombed a federal property. “Two bombs go off in the same summer,” I said. “It seems kind of strange.”

Lee leaned back far in his chair and smiled. “Makes a person think doesn’t it?” he said, hands behind his head. “That’s all I really can say is it makes a person think.”

PAHRUMP, Nev | Legal pimp seeks office in Nevada as some push brothel bans

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/YuvSkb

PAHRUMP, Nev | Legal pimp seeks office in Nevada as some push brothel bans

PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) — A state marketed as a place where people can indulge in all manner of sins is confronting its status as the only place in America where you can legally pay someone for sex.

A coalition of religious groups and anti-sex trafficking activists has launched referendums to ban brothels in two of the seven Nevada counties where they’re legally operating. The effort dovetails with a campaign by the state’s most famous pimp for a seat in the state Legislature.

Dennis Hof, who has half a dozen brothels operating in the two counties and starred in the HBO adult reality series “Cathouse,” is challenging incumbent Assembly member James Oscarson of Pahrump in a Republican primary Tuesday.

Hof said Nevada “is the last of the live-and-let-live states” and was built on “gaming, liquor, girls and mining.”

“It’s awful that people would come in and try to change that culture, that they want to inflict their moral values on the rest of us,” he said.

Karen Cohen, who lives in a county with four legal brothels, called it “an embarrassment that we are one of the very few spots in the very United States that tolerates legal prostitution.”

The Pahrump resident is involved in a push to get two anti-brothel measures on the November ballot.

Brothels, which are illegal in the counties that contain Las Vegas and Reno, harken back to Nevada’s days as a mining territory about 150 years ago. Brothels were illegal but tolerated in some areas until 1971, when the Mustang Ranch near Reno became the first legal brothel.

It led to a movement that allowed counties with populations of 700,000 people or fewer to decide whether to legalize prostitution in licensed facilities. Outside of bordellos, prostitution remains illegal. Some brothels offer free limo rides from Las Vegas, offering to pick up guests from their Strip hotels.

Today, about 20 brothels operate in the state, mostly in rural areas. The state doesn’t publicize how many are open, and most owners keep a much lower profile than Hof, who wrote a book titled “The Art of the Pimp” and has dubbed himself the “Trump of Pahrump.”

Hof was also in the limelight in 2015, when former NBA player Lamar Odom was found unconscious at Hof’s Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, after a four-day, $75,000 stay.

The Love Ranch, about an hour’s drive northwest of Las Vegas through the desert, looks like a large single-story home with some statues and pink bicycles out front, along with a sign for “Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch Cathouse,” advertising a gift shop, full bar and “no sex required.”

Guests ring the front bell and are escorted into wingback chairs in the parlor, while the women in the house slip into their heels and assemble in a lineup to be chosen.

The brothel, like others, offers role-play-themed rooms and spa-like services.

Sonja Bandolik, the brothel’s 58-year-old madam who also works as a prostitute, said women there sign a contract for at least two weeks — enough time to get a background check and prostitution license from the local sheriff.

Women also are required to get regular tests for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV, and condoms are mandatory.

Bandolik, who has a short pixie haircut and a deep tan, said she decided to work in a brothel at age 51 after watching a Western movie depicting an old saloon. She remarked to her husband that it would be “cool if we still had those.”

She says her husband “loved the idea.” He lives with her at the brothel and works as its general manager.

Bandolik, who estimated she made close to $18,000 in May, calls her profession “soul expanding.”

Another woman living at the brothel, a 23-year-old with pale skin and long blond hair who goes by the name Azalea Love, said she previously worked as a prostitute in Las Vegas but feels safer since she moved to the brothel three months ago.

“You have people around you if something goes wrong,” she said.

Though Hof said he’s never had problems at the brothels until he started running for office, allegations of misconduct have been leveled at the pimp and his clients before.

In 2003, a prostitute at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Lyon County accused Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil of grabbing her by the neck and throwing her against a wall.

Neil later pleaded no contest to a battery charge, but Hof has said he thinks the woman made up the story.

In April, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that two former prostitutes accused Hof of sexual assault several years ago, but prosecutors declined to prosecute him because the statute of limitations had expired.

Hof denies the allegations. He told The Associated Press that the women’s claims are “totally absurd” and that they became embittered against him because they weren’t as successful in the sex industry.

Hof said the referendums are driven by moral crusaders tied to his political opponent.

Jason Guinasso is pushing to get the anti-brothel measures on the November ballot and is a partner at the law firm of Oscarson’s political ally, Nevada Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison. Guinasso and Oscarson have denied any connection between their campaigns.

Oscarson said he was surprised to hear about the anti-brothel efforts and is not involved. He thinks it’s time for the brothels to go but said he has not signed an anti-brothel petition.

“This is a man who simply wants to blame everybody else for his mistakes,” Oscarson said of Hof.

Guinasso and others involved with the anti-brothel campaign say that many women aren’t there by choice — they may have grown up in poverty, been a victim of sexual abuse or were sent to work there by an illegal pimp.

Bandolik, the madam, said it’s possible some of the prostitutes have illegal pimps but that they aren’t allowed in the brothel.

In November, voters in Lyon County, southeast of Reno, will weigh in after county commissioners put the issue on the ballot. And northwest of Las Vegas in Nye County, organizers are working to gather enough signatures to get the measure on the ballot this fall.

Guinasso said that even if the measures don’t pass, he’ll consider it a victory that Nevada residents will be rethinking whether the industry belongs in the Silver State, particularly in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Hof predicts the measures will fail but said if brothels were banned, illegal prostitution will flourish.

“The business is not going away,” Hof said. “It’s the oldest business in the world.”

A fifty year authority poker player, the "Godfather of Poker" has shaped how each one of us play the overall game with his poker strategy guide, Supersystem/Supersystem 2. Past the ultimate book on hold em, he also carries a robust mtt and cash game record of his own; ten wsop wins, a WPT win, nearly $6 mil in club poker 88 profit, and numerous televised big wins in high stakes cash games.

This is the most convenient way to get a game of dominoes for you. Do check out the cost of the product properly. There may be mentioned about the shipping costs and other costs involved. The cash prizes in the preliminary events were growing with each year and in 1980 there were two cash prizes worth more than $100,000. Sarge Ferris defeated Brunson in the final two of the $10,000 Deuce to Seven Draw for a $150,000 prize and Gene Fisher beat Louis Hansucker in $1,500 No Limit Hold'em for a $113,400 prize.

Can you get this kind of a pizza in a pizzeria? Most likely not. Instead you'll have to buy the ingredients at your local grocery store and make the pizza yourself. Speaking from experience, however, this can be a fun thing!
