Police Friday night arrested a man for attempted second-degree murder who, with an accomplice, early last year led dozens of officers on a three-hour manhunt after crashing a stolen car in Boulder and fleeing the scene on foot.
Boulder resident Kaylob Lee Marrs, 22, is back in the Boulder County Jail on a $100,000 bond, held for investigation of attempted second-degree murder and other charges.
A Boulder police news release stated that the latest arrest of Marrs stemmed from an incident that occurred the afternoon of April 27. The victim in the incident was dropping someone off in the Orchard Grove Mobile Home Park at 3003 Valmont Road, police said, when Marrs pulled up next to him.
An argument ensued, police said, then Marrs held a handgun outside the window and fire a shot toward the victim's vehicle.
A bullet struck the victim's vehicle, according to police. The victim sped from the scene and then called police.
Investigators looked for Marrs throughout the metro area, police said, and located him and took the suspect into custody Friday night in Golden.
On Jan. 23 of last year, Marrs, along with David Gerardo Fuentes-Fuentes, also of Boulder, crashed a stolen car near north Broadway and U.S. 36, then ran from police, setting off a search in which the Boulder County Sheriff's Office deployed 22 members of its SWAT team.
They also brought in search dogs and used thermal imaging cameras. Residents of the Dakota Ridge subdivision were notified by emergency phone alerts to stay in their home.
In all, 35 deputies and police officers were involved in the search before the two men, who allegedly had stolen the 1997 Honda Accord one week earlier in Aurora, were apprehended.

Fake Retro Action Man Spots Highlight the Horrors & Victims of War
Veterans for Peace, the voluntary ex-services organisation, has launched a provocative fake TV-ad to challenge the British Army's policy of recruiting minors into the army.
Gramercy Park Studios worked directly with Agile Films and Director Price James to create the compilation of retro TV-spots, entitled Battlefield Casualties, parodying 80's Action Man toys.
Battlefield Casualties
Narrated by Matt Berry, the retro-stylised work takes a dark and satirical look at the consequences that teenage men face when enlisted for war, and features new mock-characters such as P.T.S.D Action Man.
The aim of the campaign, based on the work of Darren Cullen, is to lobby the Armed Forces into stopping the recruitment of 16 and 17 year-olds, who are put in front-line combat. The UK is one of only 19 countries worldwide – others include North Korea and Iran – that still recruits minors into the Armed Forces.
Gramercy Park Studios' Head of Colour – Ben Rogers, who graded the film, comments: "Throughout the grading process, we explored a number of directions and ultimately the aim was to achieve a 'contemporary-retro' feel that didn't inhibit the campaign's message. We used a number of personalised LUT's along with video noise and various film curves which, in combination with Umatic/VHS 'drop out' supplied by the online artist, really helped achieve the film's final look."
Additional VFX for the spot was provided by Gramercy Park Studios' Mark Beardall and Kalle Kohlstrom.

Hampton Court Gardens south west of London
Hampton Court gardens and palace lie around 20 kilometres south west of London. It is near to Kingston upon Thames and is within the borders of the borough of Richmond upon Thames. There was a substantial building on this site since at least the early 1400s and a Hampton Manor was mentioned in the Domesday book in 1086.

The Tudor era at the Palace
The Tudor part of Hampton Court palace was constructed style by Cardinal Wolsey in the early 1500s. Wolsey had been granted a 95-year lease on the property in 1515. Tudor palace architecture is heavily influenced by perpendicular gothic architecture. In the early 1500s the influence of Italian craftsmen and architects brought a strong renaissance influence to the architecture. This can be seen in the terracotta roundels by Florentine sculptor Giovanni da Maiano in 1521. These roundels contain the busts of eleven roman emperors.
In the mid 1520s King Henry VIII had taken a liking to the property and was also finding Cardinal Wolsey unable to get his divorce approved by the pope. As a result of this Wolsey lost his lands. In 1525 the lease was transferred to the King. Henry VIII was granted a freehold to the property in 1531.
Architect Sir Christopher Wren.
After the death of King Henry VIII, William of Orange and his wife Queen Mary made substantial changes to the building. These changes were designed by famous architect Christopher Wren.
Wren was commissioned to remodel and extend Hampton Court Palace with a new courtyard and apartments for the King and Queen. The great fountain garden was created by architect Daniel Marot, who had been brought over from Het Loo. This remodelling of the garden led to much more French and Dutch influence in the gardens.
The Gardens become a public space
After the time of William and Mary the palace fell out of use as a royal palace and eventually the gardens were made open to the public by Queen Victoria in 1838.
Hampton court palace gardens currently cover over 24 hectares by the banks of the Thames. Every year the Royal Horticultural Society holds a flower festival in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. The gardens themselves are an attraction for garden lovers from around the world. The gardens include a Dutch garden, a yew tree maze with over 1000 trees and a spectacular fountain.

The Royal Horticultural Society runs an annual garden festival on the grounds of Hampton Court Palace in early July. As well as a floral marquee and plant village, there are Show, Lifestyle and Global Impact gardens from inspiring garden designers and landscapers. As with the Chelsea Flower Show, this show is a favorite amongst garden lovers, as well as residential and commercial landscapers.

Providing you eternal life cost God everything? He punished His Son in your place, but receiving eternal life costs you nothing. Because of what Christ did on the Cross, God now offers you this free gift if you will simply trust His Son to save you.
Dear God, I come to You now. I know I am a sinner. Nothing I will ever do can get me to heaven. But I beleive Jesus Christ died for my sins. Right now, I put my trust in Him alone as my only way to heaven. Thank You for the free gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
We would love to hear from you regarding your decision, contact us by clicking here and we can begin praying for you and supporting your decision to accept Christ.


The object of the game is to eliminate both of the computer opponents. To do this you are given 12 Brown Tiles that navigate across the board that is governed by a central compass. Press the New Game button to randomize the starting places for all three opponents.
By clicking the top of any Brown Tiles, a path in "light blue" shows the direction, and the number of hexes, a tile can move in a turn. If you do not want to move that tile, click in an unlit hex to deselect and choose another brown tile to move.
To zoom in and out of the playing surface, use the scroll wheel in the middle of your mouse. To zoom in push the scroll wheel away from you. To zoom out, pull the scroll wheel towards you. It is a good idea to use this feature throughout your game if you like winning.
A little perspective goes a long way when applied properly. To change your perspective "left clicking" while dragging the mouse will move the board forward/backward and left to right. To rotate the board 360 degrees, and change the viewing angle, "right click" while dragging the mouse in the desired angle.
To move a tile, once it has been selected, simply click on the lit hex that you wish the tile to land on. In the image below the NW3 tile elected to move onto the yellow line, or "Way" as seen in the images of the previous 3 tabs. When a tile lands on the "Way" a roll is generated as seen at the top of the image.
When rolling the Taoex Die on "The Way" players are given a choice, if applicable, that will be highlighted. You MUST choose where you would like your tile to land by clicking on the lit hex. In the image below the brown player can either move left to the empty hex or he could elect to capture the small enemy tower on the right by clicking on it.
The advantage of Towers is that they can give you multiple choices in the direction your Tower can move. In the image below the Tower has the choice of moving up to 2 hexes in the North East (light blue hexes) or it uses the extra movement given by the "Hook" tile (pink hexes) by first moving either NE 1 or 2 followed by a SE 1. Again, clicking on any of the lit hexes moves the Tower in that direction.
In the image below, we can see that when the restrictions of movement along "The Way" are no longer in play, Towers can have a great many options of movement. The brown North East 2 (NE2) still has the options of moving up to 2 in the NE direction, and it still has the option of the extra movement of adding the South East 1 (SE1) movement from the Hook tile. Or, the player may elect to use either the SE3 to move up to 3 hexes in the South East direction or, by using the S2 to move South up to 2 hexes and landing on "The Way", for another forced roll of the die.
In the image below we can see that not only does the Brown NE2 controlled Tower have a lot of movement options that include the SE1 Hook tile in pink, but if you look on the far side of the board you will see that there are 2 light blue hexes over there. The Tower would use a SE3 move to get over to the furthest of the hexes. once again, simply clicking on the lit hex you want to move to.
Each Tower can only be 6 Tiles high. When a Tower captures another Tower you will have to select which Tiles you would like to keep in your Tower by selecting them. In the image below you can see that 6 of the buttons are brighter than the 1 greyed out Green NE3 button. Once you have made your selection click Finished and the lit buttons will form your new Tower. **Note** Each Tower can contain only 1 Hook tile.

35 unforgettable images that capture Trump's wild and bitter presidency

President Donald Trump's time in office has been filled with noteworthy and often unexpected moments.
From holding a baseball bat in the Blue Room to yelling at a kid mowing the White House lawn, these often impromptu moments have been captured by photographers.
Insider rounded up some of the most memorable and candid images of Trump's tumultuous presidency.
President Donald Trump's last days in office have been historic: he tried multiple times to overturn his election defeat, his supporters stormed the Capitol in protest of the results, he was impeached over inciting the violent mob, and he's hit his lowest approval rating — all amid a pandemic that has robbed nearly 400,000 Americans of their lives.
The chaos wraps up an already-tumultuous term personified by broken traditions, from declining to release his tax returns, to regularly firing his administration officials and cozying up with foreign dictators, to name a few.
White House photographers are tasked with capturing the behind-the-scenes moments that define a presidency: the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Pete Souza, former President Barack Obama's photographer, for example, managed to get up close and personal with the former leader.
Americans have mostly viewed the Trump administration through the lens of uncredited pictures posted on his now-suspended Twitter account, staged White House photo-shoots, and the award-winning shots by journalists who have followed him over the past four years.
Insider poured through these galleries and rounded up some of the most wildly memorable and candid images of the outgoing president:
His taped tie

Telling photos of then-President-elect Donald Trump trickled in even before he was sworn in. In this scene, Trump made headlines for his taped tie.
The dismissal of James Comey
President Donald Trump shakes hands with then-FBI Director James Comey during an inaugural reception at the White House on January 22, 2017.
"He's become more famous than me," Trump joked when embracing former FBI director James Comey, during his first days as president. Their relationship soured after Comey led the investigation into whether Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
Trump abruptly announced he was firing Comey with a tweet in May 2017.
The original White House staff
President Donald Trump speaks on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the White House on January 28, 2017. Also pictured, from left, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, Vice President Mike Pence, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, press secretary Sean Spicer, and National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Before he was commander-in-chief, Trump gained stardom for his "you're fired" catchphrase on his TV show, "The Apprentice." That pattern of firings continued under his presidency, when he purged officials he deemed disloyal, or let go of close advisers who later pleaded guilty in federal court.
The glowing orb

If convicted, Trump could possibly be barred from running for office ever again.

Well, I mean I think that one of the things that some evangelicals want to do is to say let's just keep our children completely sheltered from everything, and then they are not going to have to face these things until they are adults, and then they are spiritually formed, and they are ready to face it. I have seen this with some really rigid, legalistic parents in every era really. I remember I had some friends in the neighborhood whose parents didn't believe in letting their children watch television because they were afraid of all of the, as they put it, the "pornographic influences" that were coming from Laverne and Shirley. I have not seen the pornographic influences in Laverne and Shirley, but apparently these parents did. And so they are saying let's just keep the television totally away. And so as long as our kids don't know that there is Laverne and Shirley out there, we are going to keep them protected from that.
What happened is that those children, when they went to anyone else's home are immediately in front of the television, and they are just glued to this because it is this sense of the forbidden that their parents won't even talk to them about, so they think it must be great. And you know, we are saying we want to play outside, and this is just the information channel giving you what's on the other channels; this isn't even anything to watch. But it was something they really were driven toward. I think the same thing can happen here.
I think we are living in the sort of world where keeping children from understanding what is going on in the outside isn't going to be possible. What you have to do is to come in and educate in age-appropriate sorts of ways as to what's going on, doing two things: You are communicating what your family believes about a Christian sexual ethic without turning your children into Pharisees. Those same kids in our neighborhood that really were driven toward that television also their parents didn't do Santa Claus with them—they were the children who were coming around telling all the rest of us there is no Santa Claus. This is a pagan myth that you all are taking up, and your parents really don't love Jesus as much as mine do. You do not want to create that in your children.
And so to create the sort of children who recognize what the scripture teaches, what we believe as a family, while also loving people in their neighborhood, not being harsh or condemnatory toward people in their neighborhood. I had to deal with this last night, not about the situation you mentioned, but one of my sons, my younger sons came to me and said I have a friend in the neighborhood, and his dad is an atheist. What's an atheist? Well, I suppose I could have said we will talk about that when you get older. But I don't want atheism to be an allure for him. I explained to him what an atheist is. He said does this mean that I shouldn't be a friend anymore to Ronnie? And I said absolutely not! I said you should be completely a friend to Ronnie. I said Jesus has already told us how to live in this world, and he says we are to live with people and to love people who don't know him; to seek to win them to Christ, but even if we don't win them to Christ, we still love them. And yes, you should be friends with Ronnie.
I think we have to do the same thing, and every congregation is going to deal with this with cohabiting parents, with everything else. I remember the first time that one of my children came in and asked me what's divorce—very, very young—because a friend in the neighborhood had parents who had divorced. And that was probably a more difficult issue for me than the one that you mention because I wanted to explain this to him without him having the fear that somehow this is going to happen to him. But at the same time, I didn't want to communicate well, that will never happen to you because your parents are better than Johnny's parents, which isn't true.
So you have to spend a lot of time carefully walking the way of Christ in order to do that. And sometimes you are going to mess up, and sometimes you are going to fail, and that's why we need counsel—a multitude of counselors is wisdom—it's why we need the power of the Holy Spirit to do that.

Winnipeg Free Press weighs in on "This is All a Lie"
Good morning! This lovely review appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press on the weekend. I am grateful. I am grateful the book was reviewed and that there are still newspapers who believe books are important. This comes on the heels of the announcement that The Winnipeg Review is now done. This beautiful, articulate and clever on-line review has called it quits. The quality of the writing was so consistently high, and the reviewers, editors, publisher so consistently underpaid, it could no longer continue. I was a proud occasional contributor — and listed as a 'contributing editor.' I am truly sorry to see it go. RIP Winnipeg Review.
Trofimuk's lying trio truthfully terrific
Reviewed by: Dave Williamson
Edmontonian Thomas Trofimuk's delightfully inventive and provocative new book toys with the traditional novel format while showing what a major role lying can play in everyday life.
The main storyline deals with a lover's triangle, beautifully fleshing out the formula offered in the opening line of John Updike's short story Problems: "During the night, A, though sleeping with B, dreams of C."
Trofimuk's novel features three fully realized characters: Ray, a married lawyer who has left the legal profession to indulge his love of trees and become an arborist; Tulah, Ray's wife, a teacher who has a fascination with snow; and Nancy, a hot-blooded Russian woman.
Ray and Tulah's marriage has reached a stage where it lacks passion; indeed, their lives consist mainly of working and looking after their two young daughters. While Ray seems content without intimacy at home, he craves it with someone new, and Nancy welcomes the chance to satisfy him. At the same time, both Tulah and Nancy take part in dalliances with other men, meaning all three must rely on lies to function.
Early in the novel, Ray leaves Nancy's apartment, believing their affair may be over. She looks down from her 39th-floor balcony at Ray getting into his car, and she talks to him by phone, threatening to jump. He could drive away. "He places his hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel and squeezes. But callous is not who he is. Self-centred, shallow, unfaithful and lying, but not callous." He stays at his car, talking her through many moods, but the novel's playful narrator keeps switching to flashbacks and digressions, leaving Ray and Nancy on the phone for nearly five hours and most of the book.
At school, Tulah finds herself being challenged by a student's mother for not teaching the biblical creation story in science class. Tulah's stand, in the context of this novel, suggests that all religions are based on lies.
While this may reflect a sombre tone, Trofimuk offers much to laugh and smile about. In one scene, Ray follows Tulah into a department store's lingerie section and notices a bin of umbrellas next to a table of panties. In the spirit of this odd juxtaposition, Ray and Tulah each takes an umbrella and they start a sword fight.
From the start, Trofimuk steps out from backstage like a post-modernist from the 1980s. He points out that he has reversed the sequence of Prologue, chapters, Epilogue, "A Note on the Font" and Acknowledgments. He has numbered the pages backwards, which makes sense to any avid reader who likes to know how many pages are left.
His "Note on the Font" explains that the text is set in the Garamond typeface, created by Claude Garamond in the 16th century. The story of Garamond becomes a funny historical subplot with a final twist that is — of course — precipitated by a lie.
And there are other humorous threads, like the tendency of the Vikings to be personally filthy.
Trofimuk, author of such other works as The 52nd Poem and Waiting for Columbus, times his diversions perfectly while still giving a completely absorbing story. Nancy, Tulah and Ray are all flawed, throbbingly real characters whom the reader would love to know and have over for dinner.
Ironically, This Is All a Lie comes off as marvellously authentic.

Q: Wordpress Multisite - Can 2 domains share a database of users? I'm creating a Wordpress site for a client. In the future, my client would like to have a second site that uses Wordpress as well. Ideally, we'd like people that have accounts on the first site to be able to use that same account on the second site. Is this something that can be achieved with Wordpress Multisite? If so, how?
The kickers is that each site would need to have it's own domain. For example, http://www.firstblog.com and http://www.secondblog.com would be two different sites sharing the same user accounts.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

A: WordPress multisite only has one table for users, so yes, users can use the same account on both sites. You will just have to be sure to set the appropriate role on each site, as network users are not necessarily users of a given site.
