Tips & Tricks to using the versatile and robust iOS managing tools, iTools.
For those of you who are not aware of what iTools is, it's a file management tool used for iOS. It has versions for both Windows and Mac OS X and is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, as long as it runs iOS 4.0 or higher it will work with iTools. Even though it is labeled as a file management tool, it's really much more than that. iTools offers several features and tools that can help troubleshoot a multitude of issues with iOS devices. This guide will go over each of the highlighted features in iTools to help you understand the vast functionality of this little iOS toolbox. If you've been using an application like iFunBox for file management, get ready to toss that one out, because iTools offers everything iFunBox does, with a much simpler interface, and much more functionality. First though, we're going to just go over some basic information about the application.
iTools is a very small standalone application that is just right around 3MB for both PC and Mac, standalone meaning that if doesn't require a installation in order to run the program. Because its a standalone application without system dependencies you can place iTools on a USB thumb drive and bring it with you where ever you go. iTools is developed by Chinese company called ThinkSky and offers versions in English, Russian, French, and of course Chinese. About 98% of the application is translated, but don't be too surprised if you see some Chinese text on some of the logos. At the time of this article, the English version is iTools 2013 Beta 0524, but there is a 2.0 version released in Chinese. iTools does download with an installer and there may be older versions that include packaged applications, so make sure you read through the installer to make sure you're not getting any additional junk. The download listed at the bottom of this page is the official release and has no packaged software.
The most common use for iTools is used for File and App Management. If your device is jailbroken you'll have a lot more options and uses with iTools, if it is not jailbroken you will still be able to access part of the file system and perform basic app management. We'll be sure to point out features for jailbroken devices, anything that isn't pointed out to be a jailbreak feature, isn't and can be used on any device. If you're interested in jailbreaking your device, you can check out our latest guide on jailbreaking iOS 7 here.
iTools offers the same kind of management that you would get uses iTunes, but with much much more functionality. The first tab on the left side labeled Applications will list all of the apps you have purchased or downloaded through the App Store from iTunes, for both iPad and iPhone, even if they're not currently installed on the device. You'll find tabs at the top to navigate to iPhone apps, iPad apps, and a tab that allows you to update apps as well. This only displays applications that were downloaded through iTunes or iTools, basically any apps that were downloaded with your computer.
Under the App Store option you'll get exactly what you would expect, the App Store. You can purchase and download apps from this menu just as you would from your device or iTunes.
The Applications tab will show you all of the currently installed apps, and shared documents like iCloud game saves and documents. You can also update your apps from this menu using the update tab at the top. You can uninstall and create backups of each app, which can very helpful in creating single backups since iCloud is a all or nothing backup tool. If your device is jailbroken you can also install IPA or PXL files to your device. Most apps will not install without AppSync installed on your device, this can be a good tool if you're a developer and want to test your app on your device, or if you want to install a app you have stored on your computer that is no longer listed in the App Store.
The Media tab will allow you to manage all of your videos, music, podcasts, ringtones, voice memos, and playlists. You can import, export, and delete files, as well as create your playlists. I find this menu to work much faster and simpler than the one used in iTunes.
The Photo tab will allow you to manage any pictures or albums saved on the device. You're able to import, export, and delete images, as well as display them in a slideshow.
The Books tab also provides the same functionality, listing all of your books stored on the device, as well as allowing you to import, export, and delete books.
The Storage tab allows you to store files on the device to be later accessed by any computer. It works the same way a external drive would, so you can use your device as a USB thumb drive.
Under the Information tab you'll find all of your contacts, messages, notes, bookmarks, calendar entries, and call history. This is a great tool to quickly access any of this information from iTools, whether you're trying to find a text someone sent you months ago or need want to export some notes to your computer. All of the categories under the Information tab allow you to export the information to a CSV file. This is an excellent way to keep backups of messages or call logs without having them use up space on your device or iCloud service.
This next portion will cover the functions that can be very helpful in troubleshooting issues with your device. For instances, if your device has a cracked screen making it impossible to use the device, you'll be able to connect the device to iTools and get access to the file system, desktop, crash logs, and more. The device will need to be powered on, so as long as you can get the device to boot up, these are excellent tools for troubleshooting issues with the device.
The tools menu offers a few basic options, you can create iTunes backups or turn on auto backup for iTunes, convert PXL files to IPA, associate IPA files with iTools, and even create ringtones. The ringtone creator is probably my favorite tool on this list, you can take any WAV or MP3 file and create it into a Ringtone by cutting out a portion of the track. Most of the real useful tools however, are located under the Advanced tab.
Here's where the real meat in troubleshoot lies. I can't begin to count how many times using these features has helped me recover a corrupted app, save, or even file.
Cleanup option will remove all the unneeded junk from your system like temporary files, cache, system thumbnails, as well as some other stuff. It's a good tool to use if you're having any weird issues with any apps.
System log will show a real-time log of everything happening on your device, so if a app is crashing or experiences problems, try pulling this tool up to get more information on what is happening. Note: As these are listed, these are advanced tools, if you're unsure of how something works on the system it's best to do some research and know what you're working with before attempting to make changes on your system based on the information given in these logs.
Crash Log will open a folder with individual crash logs. Each of the logs are listed in PLIST format, which if you're using a Windows OS you'll need a PLIST editor or reader installed on your machine to view them. I would recommend PLIST Editor which can be downloaded for free on its official site here, a PLIST editor is included with OS X. This is by far the tool that I use the most, there have been times that I've worked with developers to try and recover a corrupted save or figure out why a app isn't running on my device. Even if you don't know what these crash reports mean, they can be invaluable to the developers. It will also hold system crash logs as well as apps, so if you're dealing with a complete system crash it's a great tool to use to find out what is causes your device to crash. If only people used this tool instead of posting 1 star reviews on the App Store that say "App crashes right away!" we would have way less apps that crash on the App Store.
iTunes Connection should be turned on to enable many of the functions of iTools, but if for any reason you don't want iTools connecting to iTunes, this is where you can turn that off.
Reboot will restart your device, useful because iOS still for some unknown reason does not offer a restart option.
The Desktop feature is actually how I discovered iTools, I was looking for a program that could give a live stream from the device to my computer to record on-screen activity. iTools does have a Live Desktop option which displays whatever is on your screen into the application, it even allows you to take screen shots and record video. Unfortunately, it's very slow and doesn't work well to capture footage of games or even most apps. The Icon option however is extremely useful, you can manage your devices desktop by clicking and dragging icons to wherever you want. This makes organizing your desktop much faster, than trying to organize apps from the device itself. This is also a really useful tool to take screen shots of your desktop in case you're planning to do a factory wipe, or if your screen is busted and you want a way to access your desktop.
So that's a basic overview of all the functions and features within iTools, a very powerful tool that can help you manage every aspect of your iOS device, as well as troubleshooting games, apps, system issues, and also allowing you to create manual backups outside of iTunes or iCloud. Whatever type of troubleshooting or management you need done on your device, chances are that iTools has what you need. iTools is currently completely free, and a excellent alternative to using iFunBox or iTunes, it doesn't have any annoying ads and provides a simple, yet robust approach to managing your device.

Sen. Cory Gardner says he doesn't need to hear from witnesses in impeachment trial
By: KMGH Staff
DENVER – U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner said Wednesday he does not need to hear from any witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump just minutes before senators got to the question phase of the trial.
"I do not believe we need to hear from an 18th witness," Gardner, a Colorado Republican up for re-election this year, said in a statement. "I have approached every aspect of this grave constitutional duty with the respect and attention required by law, and have reached this decision after carefully weighing the House managers and defense arguments and closely reviewing the evidence from the House, which included well over 100 hours of testimony from 17 witnesses."
Gardner's statement came Wednesday morning a day after he reportedly said as much in a private meeting with Republican senators on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post reported.
It also came just hours after Gardner's Senate office said he was still "closely" reviewing the evidence presented to the Senate and focused on the question phase of the trial. Gardner's campaign spokesman, Jerrod Dobkin, on Tuesday night worked to relay a message that Gardner was "concerned the longer this goes on and used as a political tool, the more it divides the country."
But Colorado Politics first reported the news Wednesday that calling for witnesses was not something Gardner was considering any longer.
The vote on whether to call new witnesses and evidence, which is expected to occur on Friday, has become a primary facet of the impeachment trial. Many Republican senators said before the trial even started that they had already made up their mind that they would vote to acquit the president.
And former national security adviser John Bolton's new book has put intense pressure on the senators as they consider whether to call new witnesses and subpoena new documents. CNN reported Wednesday that the White House was pressuring Bolton not to publish his book.
According to the New York Times, Bolton wrote in his book that President Trump told Bolton he wanted to keep $391 million in congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine frozen until the new Ukrainian administration agreed to investigate Trump's political rival , Joe Biden, and Biden's son Hunter.
Several Republican senators up for re-election this year, and some others who are sometimes seen as moderates, have said they were more likely to support calling more witnesses after the information about Bolton's book was reported. Gardner has been among those who were not saying one way or another how he might vote. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday he didn't yet have the votes to block new witnesses in the trial.
Democrats, including impeachment manager Rep. Jason Crow and Sen. Michael Bennet, have lambasted Republicans who say they do not want more evidence in the trial.
"I think that anybody who voted to table those witnesses voted against the interests of the American people and the interests of our democracy," Bennet told Colorado reporters in a conference call last week. "I think anybody who voted that way, whether they know it or not, is helping to cover up what Donald Trump has done."
He added at the time that he hoped Gardner was "approaching this with an open mind."
Crow said Monday in a call with Colorado reporters that he believed the news about Bolton's book "underscores the need for Ambassador Bolton to testify" and said getting new information out in the open for consideration by the senators and the American people would be crucial.
"This can't be the first impeachment trial in American history where there are no witnesses called and no document subpoenaed," Crow said. "That needs to be done and people deserve nothing less."
Six polls released during the impeachment trial show a majority of Americans – and often more than two-thirds of people polled – support having more witnesses called and more documents subpoenaed in the Senate trial.
At the onset of the trial, as the rules were being set, Republicans, including Gardner, voted down on party lines 11 amendments to the trial rules proposed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that sought to subpoena documents being held by the Trump administration and several witnesses, like acting chief of staff and OMB director Mick Mulvaney and Bolton.
Bolton declined to testify in the House impeachment inquiry at the White House's direction, and House Democrats elected not to subpoena Bolton out of fear the court case that would follow over whether he could testify would drag out the length of the inquiry.
Gardner has been seen as a key vote on whether the trial will continue past Friday. He and Trump have endorsed one another in their re-election bids this year and Gardner has supported most of the president's initiatives. And Republicans who have crossed the president have been attacked by his campaign, himself at times, and his supporters.
But Trump is deeply unpopular in Colorado , according to polling, and Gardner has trailed in polling for this year's Senate race despite having a war chest for the election. Former Gov. John Hickenlooper has led polling of Democratic candidates in the Senate primary, and Gardner trailed Hickenlooper by 11 percentage points in an October Keating Research-OnSight Public Affairs-Martin Campaigns (KOM) survey
of the race.
That same poll showed Trump's popularity was 28 percentage points underwater – with 38% of Coloradans viewing him favorably and 60% viewing him unfavorably.
Gardner's statement comes at the onset of questioning by the senators of the House impeachment managers and the president's legal defense team. The senators will have 16 hours of questions over Wednesday and Thursday before votes on motions – and possibly on more witnesses and documents – would take place on Friday.

Brickyard 400 – Sunday, July 5 at 4 p.m. ET on NBC, SiriusXM Channel 90
ADVANCE NOTES
NASCAR Returns to Action
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for the 16th race of the 2020 season. Overall, Indy will host three series across two days including the IndyCar Series, with the first time in history both IndyCar and the NCS will run at the same track in the same weekend.
The July 4 weekend – historically held for NASCAR's summer trip to Daytona – was replaced by Indy after the schedule changed heading into the 2020 campaign.
Sunday's starting lineup for the Brickyard 400 will be determined by a random draw based on teams' order in owners' points. Newman and the No. 6 team are 22nd in points, and will draw for a starting spot in the 13-24 group.
Four weeks of NASCAR action were completed prior to the COVID-19 hiatus with races at Atlanta, Homestead, Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Talladega, Dover and Martinsville postponed.
Newman Historically at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Newman makes his 20th Cup start at Indy on Sunday. In 19 prior events, he has an average finish of 16th with one win back in the 2013 Brickyard 400. He took the lead from Brad Keselowski and led the final 12 laps to secure one of the most coveted wins in all of racing.
Most recently, Newman finished eighth last season at the 2.5-mile track, which secured his spot in the 2019 NASCAR Playoffs. Dating back to 2001, Newman has six top-10s and three top-fives. He has an average finish of seventh dating back three events – including a third-place run in 2017.
Newman has an average starting spot of 10.3 with one career pole (2013). He qualified inside the top-10 in his first eight Indy races and overall has 13 top-10 starts.
Scott Graves at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Graves will be atop the box for his fifth NCS start at Indy on Sunday. In four prior starts, he has a best finish of seventh with Daniel Suarez in 2017, and is coming off the eighth-place run with Newman a season ago.
He also called three Xfinity Series races (two with Chris Buescher, one with Suarez) with a best finish of seventh in 2016.
QUOTE WORTHY
Newman on racing at Indy:
"Going back home to Indiana is always special to me, and anytime you visit the Brickyard, it's a special time. I've been fortunate to win there in the past, and we had a good run last year putting our car into the playoffs last fall. We're excited to have Oscar Mayer back on board, which fits well with the Independence Day weekend and everything it has to offer. We're looking forward to the challenge and wish a happy July 4 to everyone watching."
Newman earned an 18th-place run in Sunday's 350-mile event from Pocono. In the process, he finished third in stage two earning valuable stage points, as varying pit strategies played out over the closing laps. A day prior, Newman finished 15th after leading 13 laps.
Where They Rank
Newman is 24th in driver points after 12 races in his 2020 campaign. In owners' points, the No. 6 is tied for 22nd with teammate Chris Buescher, but within 20 points of the 18th spot.
On the Car
Oscar Mayer returns to the No. 6 Ford this weekend in Indy. Oscar Mayer and Roush Fenway announced their continued partnership at the end of the 2019 season, as the company continues to highlight its quality meat offerings via its paint schemes throughout the season.
The stars and stripes will don the No. 6 along with the bright color scheme of Oscar Mayer this weekend, celebrating America's Independence Day in Indy.

What does 'going green' mean to you?
'Going green' means making choices to live in a way that is more environmentally friendly. When people say they have 'gone green' they are really saying that they have found ways to make a positive impact on the environment and reduce their carbon footprint.
Planting trees is a wonderful and beautiful way to make a difference for the planet God created. In the Negev desert, trees and foliage bid the rain to come, release clean oxygen, provide wildlife and birds with a home and shelter, naturally recycle water, and help prevent soil erosion.
At My Olive Tree we believe that God loves His creation and that He made mankind to 'tend the garden.' In other words, we need to do the best we can to care for our bodies and our earth. He created the world in beauty and love, and as His children we imitate Him by caring for our brothers and sisters AND our world.
My Olive Tree is an environmental and agricultural blessing. The Turkish Ottoman Empire ruled the entire Middle East region from 1516 to 1917. During this 400-year-period the land was widely neglected. The ancient villages with irrigation systems had all but disappeared. It is believed by some that when the few people who remained could not pay the tax, the trees were cut down to fuel the cargo carrying steam engines.

10 Things Worth the 30 Minute Drive Between Green Bay and Appleton [Infographic]
June 12, 2013 by Kasey Steinbrinck 8 Comments
Believe it or not – there are other things to do up in Green Bay besides go to a Packers game.
And there are other reasons to drive down towards Appleton besides shopping at the Fox River Mall.
Our two communities really aren't that far away. For most of us – a half hour drive north or south on Highway 41 takes us to a new place with new things to do, new food to eat and new people to meet.
So why don't we take advantage of it more often? Why do we seem stuck in our hometowns?
My wife and I were discussing this the other night after the kids were in bed. The truth is – we are just as guilty as everyone else. It wasn't until our jobs forced us to expand our horizons that we realized all the stuff we were missing.
Ashley and I call the Green Bay area home – but we've both worked in the Fox Cities. I spent time covering local entertainment and nightlife for the newspaper in Appleton, while she worked in marketing at a natural health store. Now we regularly make plans to visit the Fox Valley with the family.
If you're one of those people who complains when you have to drive from the east side to the west side of town (or vice versa), it's time to change your attitude and get just a little bit adventurous.
Gas prices may still be out of control – but there are some destinations 30 minutes from where you live that are totally worth the drive. We've listed ten of them – five from the Green Bay area and five from the Fox Cities – that you really need to experience for yourself.
Check out Ashley's infographic for the complete list with highlights, and keep reading below for all the details:
5 Places You Have to Visit in the Green Bay Area
1. Bay Beach Amusement Park
Zippin Pippin Roller Coaster
Not every city can say it has its own amusement park.
No, it's not Six Flags or Cedar Point, but Bay Beach Amusement Park is an incredibly fun way to spend a summer day with your family. And a lot of people who live outside the Green Bay area have never been there!
It's also extremely affordable. Tickets are just 25-cents each, and most rides are one or two tickets. Pack a picnic lunch and you can easily spend less than $20 at Bay Beach and have an amazing time. You'll probably even have enough left over to get some cotton candy or snow cones.
The rides at Bay Beach include classics like the carousel, the miniature train ride, bumper cars and a Ferris wheel. There's also carnival favorites like the Tilt-a-Whirl, the Scrambler and the Scat. Plus, plenty of easy-going rides for little ones.
The biggest attraction at Bay Beach is the Zippin Pippin roller coaster, which opened to the public in 2011. There are plans to add another new thrill ride in the near future.
While you're in the area – you can also visit the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary – for free. Plus, there are Go-Karts, batting cages, mini golf and more nearby.
This park isn't just for kids and family's either. Check out Roxy's story about making it a Bay Beach Date Night.
2. The Weidner Center
One of the most impressive things about the UW Green Bay campus is the Weidner Center. It's an absolutely beautiful venue, and while it's had its share of ups and downs – the Weidner is now bringing Broadway and off-Broadway shows to the Green Bay area again.
This past season there was Shrek: The Musical, Fiddler on the Roof and A Chorus Line. The Weidner also hosts big-time comedians. I went to see Jerry Seinfeld several years ago. Lewis Black was there earlier this year, and comedian Jim Gaffigan will perform on July 27th.
The Green Bay Symphony Orchestra is headquartered and performs at the Weidner. You can also catch performances from the university's music and theater departments.
Look for the 2013-2014 season details to be released soon.
3. The Fox River Trail
View of St. Norbert College from the Fox River Trail
The Fox River State Recreational Trail is 25 miles long. It follows the path where railroad tracks once traversed the east side of the Fox River in Brown County. Ten of the 25 miles of trail are paved, and it travels through both the cities of De Pere and Green Bay.
If you want to hike or bike into the countryside – start near Voyager Park in De Pere and head south. But you can also head straight into downtown Green Bay traveling north.
This trail is great for outdoor exercise. However, it's also a good place to simply take a leisurely stroll and explore the area. Even dogs are welcome on the trail, as long as you scoop up the poop.
There are plenty of places to stop along the way and have some fun – including Zesty's Frozen Custard. Pop in for a cocktail at places like Jimmy Seas or the Fox Harbor Pub and Grill, which even has a back patio along the trail with a fire pit.
If you've got a boat, there are a bunch of places to launch along the trail and head north to the Bay. The Fox River Trail is also a great place to catch the sunset.
4. The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame
Maybe you get to go inside Lambeau Field to watch a Packers game now and then. But have you ever checked out the Packers Hall of Fame? If you're a die-hard fan of the Green and Gold – it's a must.
The room displaying all the dazzling Lombardi trophies alone might be enough of a reason to visit. It seriously takes your breath away being that close to Super Bowl glory.
Unfortunately – the Green Bay Packers' website dedicated to their HOF doesn't really do the experience justice. You'll get to see tons of interesting memorabilia – including a replica of Vince Lombardi's office. Watch films and videos that let you relive your favorite moments in Packers history. Plus, there are lots of interactive exhibits for kids too.
While you're there – check out everything else you may have missed when you went to the game because you were worried about the crowds and traffic.
Eat and play games at Curly's Pub. Visit the Packers Pro Shop for gifts. Go check out all the other stuff surrounding the stadium. It's a sports bar lover's paradise.
NOTE – The Packers Hall of Fame will temporarily be moved to the Neville Public Museum during Lambeau Field renovations in 2014.
5. Heritage Hill State Historical Park
Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at Heritage Hill
History comes to life at this unique location right off Highway 172 in Allouez (south of downtown Green Bay).
You've probably driven past it countless times, but have you ever spent a day exploring Heritage Hill?
Whether state and local history interests you or not, Heritage Hill is a fun escape into a different world. The so-called living history museum seeks to preserve buildings and artifacts connected to Wisconsin. There are four different areas representing different parts of Northeast Wisconsin's heritage.
Actors dressed in period clothing are all over the place, and you can interact with them – asking questions about their lives and jobs. There are special events held throughout the year, but it really picks up in the summer.
You'll find musical performances, U.S. Civil War reenactments and a variety of educational series. One of the park's most popular events is Laura Ingalls Wilder Days (July 26th & 27th 2013). Stars from the TV series Little House on the Prairie even show up as special guests.
5 Places You Have to Visit in the Appleton Area
1. The Comedy Clubs
TJ Miller at Skyline Comedy Cafe
The comedy scene in Green Bay is changing for the better – but if you want to see a top-notch comedy show featuring notable standup comics – you have to go to the Fox Cities.
At Skyline Comedy Cafe in Appleton you'll get to see some of the hottest up-and-coming comics. These are often the comedians who are shooting their first specials for Comedy Central. In fact, Skyline is a popular place for standups to record comedy albums. That's because we laugh so loudly around here.
If the headliner isn't someone you've already heard of like Doug Benson, Amy Schumer or TJ Miller – there's a good chance it's someone everyone will be talking about soon. You'll see them at Skyline one weekend – and then performing on one of the late night talk shows a few weeks later. Lewis Black was a frequent headliner at Skyline until he started selling out huge theaters like the Weidner. You'll see many other familiar faces in the headshots hanging on the walls.
When you make the trip down there, you can also grab dinner at The Stone Cellar. This popular Appleton restaurant brews its own beer and makes a really tasty root beer too.
A quick tip for the guys – make sure you empty your bladder before the show.
You see, the men's bathroom at Skyline is right next to the stage. So if you have to take a leak during a comic's performance, you're almost guaranteed to become the target of some ribbing. I've even seen comedians follow guys into the bathroom with the mic to talk to them while they pee. But maybe you like that kind of attention. At least now you know!
2. The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center
Fox Cities PAC
Some of the biggest Broadway shows come to the Fox Cities PAC in Appleton. You can catch extremely popular productions like Wicked and The Lion King, but it also hosts plenty of local arts and entertainment events.
In my personal opinion – the arts and entertainment scene down in the Appleton area trumps the Green Bay scene. Appleton is a little bit artsier and Green Bay is a little more blue-collar. Nothing wrong with that! Just the way it seems to be.
The PAC is located right on College Avenue in downtown Appleton. So you can also explore the restaurants, bars and shops in that area.
The 2013-2014 season at the PAC has some great Broadway shows including Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, Memphis and Flashdance. Check out Upcoming Events at the Fox Cities PAC or explore options for Season Tickets.
In addition to the big Broadway stuff, the PAC also has the Arts Alive Series. This program often features more intimate concerts and unique theatrical performances. Of course, the Fox Cities PAC is also where you'll often find the Fox Cities Symphony and other events with local connections.
3. Shop and Bar Hop on College Avenue
Downtown Appleton in Summer
If you want to spend a day (or an evening) exploring downtown Appleton – you'll find plenty to eat, drink and do along College Avenue.
If you're looking to do some shopping, there are thrift stores like Beatnik Betty's Resale Butik and Bellybeans with clothes for expectant moms and babies.
Globally Sound Fair Trade is a cool place for eco-friendly shoppers. Music lovers will find treasures at Appleton Import Records. Pick out a stogie or have them break out the hookah at Appleton Souvenir and Cigar. Find a unique bottle of wine or tasty micro-brew at Flannagan's Stop & Shop.
That just begins to name the many stores on College Avenue.
Want to go bar-hopping? There's a plethora of options and a few funky places you really can't miss. One of them is Cleo's Brown Beam, where they make mean cocktails and the Christmas lights stay up all year long. This tavern is a favorite drinking spot for comedian Lewis Black when he comes to town (if you're keeping track that's the third time we mentioned Lewis Black in this article).
Deja Vu Martini Lounge is a cool bar that's slightly swanky yet comfortable and friendly at the same time. It's the perfect place to take a date. And if you need a change of scene, the Monkey Bar is located right upstairs offering tropical drinks and a more casual setting.
The Leg Lamp Lodge is another bar on College Avenue with some fun atmosphere. It gets its name because the windows are all decorated with glowing female legs in fishnet stocking – ala the classic film A Christmas Story. There are also a bunch of eclectic seating areas with a retro feel. You'll find this place in the upstairs of The Bar on The Avenue.
You can also find just about any kind of food at the bars and restaurants along College Avenue. Get a slice of pizza at Frank's Pizza Palace – the oldest pizzeria in Appleton. Have some sushi at Katsu-Ya of Japan. Chow down on some Mexican cuisine at Senor Frogs. Grab a gyro at Josef's Gyro Kabobs. And of course there are plenty of great places to get a burger – including The Wooden Nickel, which claims to be Appleton's oldest sports bar.
There's so much to see on College Avenue, you may even need to stay the night. The Radisson Paper Valley hotel is right in the middle of all the action and is one of the nicest hotels in Northeast Wisconsin. It is where the Packers' opposing team stays after all.
4. Fox Cities Stadium – Timber Rattlers
Timber Rattlers' Mascot, Fang
This year, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are the defending Midwest League Champions. The team's home, Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute, is a great place to enjoy America's favorite pastime.
If you're a baseball fan, you already know that since 2009 the Timber Rattlers have been the Milwaukee Brewers' Class A affiliate in the minor leagues. In the past, the team was affiliated with the Seattle Mariners, the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals.
After the Green Bay Packers – this is the biggest thing in sports that Northeast Wisconsin has going for it. Ticket prices are affordable too. Stadium seating starts at $8 and you can get a spot on the grass near the infield for just $5.
Some pretty big names have played for the Timber Rattlers. They include Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz. You never know when the next baseball stars may emerge from the Fox Cities Stadium.
The ballpark is easy to get to with access right off of Highway 41. Going to the game is a fun event for sports fans and families alike. In fact – Ashley highlighted the Timber Rattlers' in our article on 18 Unique Birthday Party Ideas for Kids.
If you don't go to watch the Timber Rattlers – the Packers also play at Fox Cities Stadium once every year. But they play softball. Retired wide reciever and Dancing with the Stars Champion, Donald Driver, hosts his celebrity softball game there. It takes place this year on June 16th.
5. High Cliff State Park
Hiking at High Cliff
Just south of Appleton, near the village of Sherwood, is a great place for outdoor recreation – from hiking, biking and camping to boating, fishing and horseback riding.
High Cliff State Park sits on more than 1100 acres right next to Lake Winnebago. There is beachfront to enjoy and around 26 miles of trails, some of which traverse the steep bluffs and limestone cliffs. The area was once home to a limestone quarry.
Other highlights include the Look Out Tower, which lets you see for more than 30 miles, the Native American effigy mounds, which made the park part of the National Register of Historic Places, and a nature center that's open during the summer season.
High Cliff is an excellent place to learn about some of the natural history of Northeast Wisconsin. It's also perfect for family camping or just to escape into nature for a little while.
Learn more about other places to take a hike when you check out Zak's article on some of his favorite trails in Northeast Wisconsin.

JoAnn Christian says:
A couple of corrections: From the Appleton area listings, Gilligan's and Comedy Quarter are closed. The Jordy Nelson Charity Softball Game takes the place of Donald Driver hosting it, and the date this year is Sunday, June 8 at Fox Cities Stadium.
Any options when the winter sets in?
I always recommend Green Bay Botanical Garden when people are in town. Beautiful,
and getting bigger and better every year!
Great suggestion, Patti! They have a lot of cool events going on this summer too. Fun place for gardeners to visit, and you can't miss the holiday light display!
Mark Phillips says:
You forgot to list the worlds LARGEST UFO Landing Port in Poland, Wis, just outside Green Bay on Hwy 29
Awesome, thanks Mark! Did you see our story about UFO's in Wisconsin? http://whoonew.com/2014/10/alien-stories-wisconsin/
Katherine Wendt says:
I'm looking to move as close to Green Bay as possible but I need to ask if anyone can tell me where exotic pets, like sugar glidders are allowed. Thank you I'm looking forward to seeing more of the area around GB/APP.

Maybe We Were Wrong - A Closer Look at Why We Call it a Bubbler in Wisconsin


It is rated by AFAR as "One of the best Museum Restaurants around the globe". Conspicuously nestled in the LACMA's main outdoor foyer, Ray's | Stark Bar catches attention with its design and bustle. It's 30/70 indoor-outdoor setting is casual and inviting, and taking a glance at what each patron is having is a visual appetizer, totally enticing for passerbyers. Museeum was excited to experience this famous spot for ourselves.
Its mid-century modern esthetic with rich metal accents and bright pops of colors on iconic furniture is a visual feast against its monochromatic backdrop. Each piece of furniture is immediately recognizable for any design enthusiast. The Jacobsen Egg Chairs, Knoll Bertoia barstools, Diamond chairs, and the Eames Molded Fiberglas chairs are highlighted in reds, yellows, greys and blues. A gorgeous symphony of colors and good design.
The restaurant features a California fresh globally inspired menu, with an emphasis on farm to table and seasonal cuisine. It also boasts "California's healthiest cocktails" rated by Forbes Travel Guide. We were delighted to know that they house a wood fire oven, and a garden behind the kitchens from which they harvest for the fare. LACMA members get 10% discount year round for dinner.
We started with Levitation as we sat down, a mixture of gin, mescal, maraschino, lime and jalapeno. It is one of their most unique and popular cocktails. It was as beautiful as it was unexpected. The generous quantity gin was not at all concealed by the strikingly strong spicy and tangy hints. The sangria was fragrant and sweet.
Our excellent server informed us that the restaurant is known to have LA's most extensive water menu. The general manager and the world's foremost water sommelier, Martin Reise, put together a 45-page water booklet that features a 20 item water list from 10 countries to provide unique water experiences. We tried Iskilde, upon his recommendation, a Danish brand from a remote artesian spring containing a high content of oxygen. The bubbling effect upon opening the bottle was distinctive, and the flavor was crisp and airy. Even the smell could transport you high into the glacial mountains. The difference sipping back on the tap water was enormous, as the tap water suddenly tasted incredibly metallic and even felt slimy. We also tried New Zealand's Antipodes, which is the first water in the world to be carbon neutral from a 300-year-old filtration. The refreshingly earthy flavor was recognizably different from the Iskilde, but it was equally as pure. It was so hydrating that it felt as though I had not had water in months.

The hand cut Frites with sriracha aioli was a perfect pairing with our main courses, so we ordered it twice. The wood fired Neapolitan style Margherita Pizza was perfect, the sauce not overwhelming and the crust chewy with some char. It served perfectly as an appetizer to share. The Scottish Cured Salmon on Toast with avocado and hard boiled eggs was as visually exquisite as its flavors. The colors of the salmon, separated egg, greens and sprinkling of edible flowers was a beautiful collage of colors.
The pork belly sandwich was probably one of the best of its kind I've tasted, with certainly the most fall-apart-melt-in-your-mouth meat I've had. The sauce was not overpowering. The fatty pork flavor, certainly one of the best flavors that exist in the world, was on full display. The short rib sandwich was robust. A bit too familiar tasting, it was good but not great. The pickles that came paired with all of our items was divine. Fresh, sweet and just slightly sour, they were the perfect palette cleanser and crunch that were needed.
The "kids table" menu was short and simple, and came with some crayons on the side. It would have been nice to have slightly more creative options than plain noodles and cheese pizza considering its location and frequent pint sized guests I've seen sitting in these seats. Nevertheless, my kids were definitely satisfied with the mac and cheese to share and bites from all the orders. They also preferred to drink out of the specialty water glasses in lieu of the plain tap water, especially my 2-year-old. I suppose kid's palettes are more sensitive than we may imagine.
Ray's | Stark Bar is one of those amazing restaurants which straddle between fine and casual dining. It's a perfect dining experience for a leisurely meal after a long afternoon of museum viewing on museum row. I can't help but imagine it being even enjoyable for happy hour at the bar with their exceptional drinks and some plates and laughs to share.


Bomba is musical style from Puerto Rico that is a mixture of three different cultures, the Spanish, African and Taino Indian. It is described as a challenge between the drummer and the dancer, with the dancer deciding what the drummers will play.
In this episode the famous Cepeda Family come out to play with family and friends and celebrate the legacy of their father and grandfather Rafael Cepeda, often referred to as the "Patriarch of the Bomba and Plena"


Since 1999, when he premiered his first collection of clothes in Paris, Bernhard Willhelm has been "moving in-between chaos and diversity." He and his team, headed by long-term collaborator Jutta Kraus, recently decamped from their Parisian atelier and relocated to Los Angeles. This site-specific work at MOCA's PDC gallery functions as a sculptural installation with a fashion sensibility and includes video, photography, and displays of ephemera and objects curated by Willhelm. Described by Willhelm as a meditation on the future of commerce and a "thinking-forward exhibition," he sees this installation as his response to the uniformity of fashion in the 21st century and a forecast of the fashion experience in the 22nd century.
The show goes through May 17, 2015 and is certainly one not to miss. For more information visit MOCA.

Press Release -- September 6th, 2017
Source: Ericsson
Ericsson expands its 5G portfolio
5G platform now includes first FDD radio from Ericsson capable of supporting 5G and Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (Massive MIMO)
New radio to bridge 4G to 5G and enable 5G using today's spectrum
Introducing network services that ease operators' journey to 5G from preparation to actual 5G launch
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC, news, filings) introduces a new radio product, AIR 3246, for Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (Massive MIMO), which is a complement to Ericsson's global 5G radio offering. AIR 3246 supports both 4G/LTE and 5G NR (New Radio) technologies and is Ericsson's first 5G NR radio for frequency division duplex (FDD). This launch will enable operators – especially in metropolitan areas – to bring 5G to subscribers using today's mid-band spectrum and boost capacity in their LTE networks.
Ericsson's 5G Platform includes three previously launched time division duplex (TDD) radios capable of supporting 5G and Massive MIMO, as well as core, transport, digital support and security elements. The company has the most complete 5G portfolio in the industry, serving the needs of the first movers in 5G.
Fredrik Jejdling, Head of Business Area Networks at Ericsson, says: "We now expand the 5G platform that we introduced last February. The new radio will enable operators to enhance 4G capacity for their subscribers today and be ready for 5G tomorrow, using the same hardware. We also complement the products with a set of network services, simplifying the journey to 5G for our customers."
Bridging from 4G to 5G
People are watching, sharing and streaming video and music more than ever. As such, the demands on a sufficient speed are ever increasing. Ericsson analyzed 4G network performance statistics from metropolitan areas around the world, and found that the probability of a smart device suffering from insufficient speed can be as high as 20 percent during peak hours. Massive MIMO is a key technology to bridge from 4G to 5G, adding intelligent capacity and boosting user experience.
Stefan Pongratz, Senior Director at the Dell'Oro Group, says: "Just as carrier aggregation has been key to adding needed capacity to mobile broadband networks, Massive MIMO has the potential to be the primary capacity enabler in the next upgrade phase, providing a smooth transition towards 5G. With an expected 2021 installed base of 10M LTE macro radios in high traffic and metro areas, service providers are expected to capitalize on the improved spectral efficiency made possible with Massive MIMO."
FDD Massive MIMO is part of a trial with T-Mobile US, on three sites in Baltimore, Maryland. This will be the first time that standardized Massive MIMO will be used to carry commercial LTE traffic using mid-band FDD spectrum.
Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer for T-Mobile, says: "T-Mobile's racing forward at breakneck pace with Ericsson's next-gen tech that advances LTE today and paves the way for 5G tomorrow. While the carriers scramble to prop up networks caving under the weight of unlimited, the Un-carrier's rolling out advanced technologies to massively increase network capacity and data throughput for customers. Translation – we're making America's best unlimited network even better!"
Massive MIMO on FDD can increase network capacity up to three times and bring up to five times better user throughput, boosting performance for the end users. Today's global base is primarily on FDD technology and devices, which separates uplink and downlink streams on different radio frequencies.
Commercially available in the second quarter 2018, AIR 3246 will be part of Ericsson Radio System.
5G Services – preparation to launch
Complementing the 5G core transformation services introduced earlier this year, Ericsson is now launching a set of services helping operators on the road to 5G in three steps: Prepare, Mobilize and Launch. The services entail: Prepare for the first crucial stepsbased on learnings from Ericsson's trials around the world; mobilize by setting up the technical and operational resources necessary for a successful 5G launch; and launch 5G services through complete and rapid network rollout and ensure smooth operations of the services. These new 5G services use Ericsson's Engineered Intelligence approach, which builds on the best of human and machine capabilities and are supported by automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence tools.
Ericsson's 5G platform comprises the 5G core, radio and transport portfolios, together with OSS, BSS, network services and security.

Equipped with bats and hammer, Chinese in the capital are letting out their frustration, anger and stress at the city's first anger room by smashing objects, ranging from old appliances to glass bottles.
Founded by Jin Meng and her friends four months ago (September 2018), the anger room named 'SMASH' are breaking 15,000 bottles a month as people to let out their pent up emotions.
Jin, a 25-year-old former English-study student who quit a public relations company to start this, said the shop has close links with various second-hand shops to make sure there is an endless supply of broken objects such as TV, telephone, clocks, rice cooker, sound recorder, mannequins and speakers etc.
Well exceeding Jin's expectations, around 600 customers visit the shop every month, which is at a former factory area now converted into an art zone.
Targeting people between ages 20 to 35, Jin said the space is not a place to promote violence, but to reduce people's stress in large cities like Beijing, where people are under mounting pressure.
The next step of her plan is to open a new anger room in a mall where people can stop for a short moment mid-way through shopping to riot it out for a bit.
Price range from 158 RMB (Rs 1660 approx) for a single person in a room to 512 RMB (Rs 5300) for a group of four, with a 30 minutes time restriction.

What type of evidence is a video recording?
Admissible evidence is any document, testimony, or tangible evidence used in a court of law.
Evidence is typically introduced to a judge or a jury to prove a point or element in a case.
Criminal Law: In criminal law, evidence is used to prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt..
Surveillance camera footage is often used as evidence in criminal cases. There is no reason why it inherently cannot be used, though the party that seeks to admit it into the court record must prove it is appropriate. … An important test of whether evidence is admissible is whether it is relevant.
New South Wales Under s 8 of the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW), the use of visual recording devices such as video cameras is only prohibited where trespass on private premises is involved.
Any video recorded without the person's consent is not illegally recorded, and can be used in court.
Usually, though, police do not have such clear-cut evidence. Maybe a video shows a suspect leaving or entering the scene of a crime. … When not properly refuted, video evidence often will lead to a conviction, as it is still one of the most convincing types of evidence that can be shown to a jury.
The short answer is: YES… but the footage and the surveillance system itself must comply to strict regulations to be admissible in court. If a home security system records any space outside of your own private property (for example, the pavement, your neighbours' gardens, etc.)
Also, anyone participating in the telephone call may record the conversation — at least one party in the call must be aware of the recording being made. A recording is always admissible as evidence in a court, even if obtained in illegal matters.
Hearsay is an out of court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Video that is properly authenticated is not hearsay.
In order for photo and video evidence to be admissible in court it must meet two basic requirements: relevance and authenticity. … For example, a photo or video used as evidence in an accident case must truthfully represent the conditions of the road at the time and date of the accident.
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act outlines that it is possible to obtain electronic documents in a number of ways that can be regarded as "legal". For instance, if you stumble onto a video stored on a computer or phone shared with a spouse, this is likely to be admissible in court.
Penal Code 632 does not apply to eavesdropping by law enforcement personnel. Police can legally "listen in" on private conversations without the consent of the parties.
Penalties for Recording Someone Without Their Permission An individual could be ordered to pay damages in a civil lawsuit against them or might even face jail time or a hefty fine. … Violating the Wiretap Act carries a possible five-year sentence, a $500 fine or both.
What has become clear is that video recordings can be used as evidence in legal procedures. When the video recordings are gathered lawfully and in accordance with the legal provisions, there are no issues.
The requirements for a recorded conversation are no different. As a general rule, evidence obtained illegally cannot be used in court, and surreptitious tape recordings by telephone are illegal in most states under their respective penal (or criminal) codes.
Demonstrative Evidence An object or document is considered to be demonstrative evidence when it directly demonstrates a fact. It's a common and reliable kind of evidence. Examples of this kind of evidence are photographs, video and audio recordings, charts, etc.

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest warns farmers of 'environmental terrorism'
In Environment
Lt. Gov. Dan Forest: Striking fear in the hearts of farmers (Photo: Official portrait, Forest's office)
The aroma of hog waste hung in curtains of humidity outside the Duplin County Event Center last night, where inside, in the air-conditioning, 400 or so farmers and their families enjoyed pork loin sandwiches.
The agriculture forum was attended by several elected state officials, including Gov. Pat McCrory and Lt. Gov. Dan Forest. An architect by trade, Forest sported dungarees and a plaid shirt, then warned the crowd that "environmental terrorism is coming after you, trying to shut down your businesses while you're trying to work harder and harder."
Environmental terrorism has become a common refrain in the McCrory administration, although no one in state government, publicly anyway, has identified the bogeyman. Based in New York City, The Waterkeeper Alliance, is the most likely target. The nonprofit group has national and international affiliates, including about a dozen riverkeepers/watchdogs in North Carolina. They are demanding better environmental protections for communities, particularly minorities, who live near giant hog farms and their waste lagoons.
The NC Department of Environmental Quality has asked the EPA's Office of Civil Rights to reject a complaint over the permitting of lagoons. The complaint was filed by the alliance, REACH, NC Environmental Justice Network and the UNC Center on Civil Rights.
The specter of meddling continued when Gov. McCrory took the stage, which was decorated with large bales of straw, luxurious ferns, plump pumpkins and yellow mums. McCrory, who opted for khaki pants instead of blue jeans, tried to commiserate with the farmers, saying they only want people to "leave us alone and let us do our job."
"That's what we're trying to do in this administration," McCrory went on. "One of the great challenges we have right now is that we got a guy in Washington, D.C., in the White House who doesn't want to leave you alone. In fact he wants to interfere in your business more and more every day. We need to stop Washington, D.C. from taking over North Carolina's lakes and streams and waters, especially as it relates to the farmland."
The rule adds and clarifies protections of waterways that have been historically covered under the Clean Water Act: tributaries, wetlands, and waters that connect with oceans and rivers that cross state lines. However, as NCPW reported in July, the EPA is clear that the new rule doesn't require any new permitting from farmers and retains most of the agricultural exemptions. In fact, many agricultural practices, such as planting, harvesting and moving livestock, have been exempt from the Clean Water Act.
North Carolina is one of 18 states suing the federal government over these additions to the Clean Water Act.

Another crazy week last week in the CFL.
The Blue Bombers beat the Eskimos 33-26 and ended the Eskies winning streak to open the season after winning their first 7 games. The Bombers lead the whole game and running back Andrew Harris was incredible rushing for 105 yards and also getting 120 yards receiving.
The Redblacks kept the Ticats winless when they won 37-18. The Ticats were actually leading after the first but couldn't hold on.
It was a great game between the Stamps and the Lions and this game was up for grabs up until late but a huge stop by the Stampeders gave them the 21-17 win.
The final game, if you can call it that, of the week was the Alouettes getting destroyed by the Argos 38-6. In his return from double shoulder surgery Ricky Ray looked awesome throwing for 377 yards and 4 touchdowns and became the Argonauts all-time leader in passing yards.
Ok let's get onto the week 10 CFL betting tips.
These teams played each other in week 6 And the Bombers won 41-40.
Winnipeg has won their last 4 games including being the first team to beat the Eskimos this season. The have been putting the points up too having scored 33 or more points in 6 straight games.
With their momentum and Harris' play I like the Bombers in this one
Rough Riders vs Eskimos Betting Tips
So the Eskimos finally took their first loss of the season so it will be interesting to see how they bounce back in this game.
The Riders have 4 losses on the year and 2 of them have been by 15 or more points.
I do like Edmonton to get back to winning I'm just nervous of the spread. With the way they destroyed the Lions in their last game and coming off of a bye week, I have to think the Riders will keep this close.
Roughriders +6.5
Lions vs Redblacks Betting Tips
The Lions have lost 2 in a row. The Redblacks opened the season with a tie, 3 losses, a win, 3 more losses and then a win.
I think this is going to be a close game that could go either way so I have to go with the team that is getting points.
Lions +2
Argonauts vs Stampeders Betting Tips
They played each other back in week 7 and it was the Stamps winning 41-24.
Calgary has won 4 in a row and I think that momentum will carry them to the win in this game but the spread has me worried.
The Argos did win their last game with ease 38-6 but had lost three in a row before that.
With the spread being 9 points I've decided that I'm staying away from betting on this game.
No Bet
As always, bet any and all CFL games at Bovada for Americans and Sports Interaction for everyone else

Execution Date Set for Travis Clinton Hittson, Convicted of Murder
Featured February 2, 2016 , by Staff Writer Regional
An execution date for Travis Clinton Hittson has been set for February 17, 2016. Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens offers the following information in the case against Travis Clinton Hittson for the 1992 murder of Conway Utterbeck.
Scheduled Execution
Travis Clinton Hittson's direct appeal proceedings and his state and federal habeas corpus proceedings have been concluded. Accordingly, on February 1, 2016, the Superior Court of Houston County issued an order setting a seven-day period of time during which the execution of Travis Clinton Hittson may take place. The period of time ordered by the Superior Court will last from noon on February 17, 2016, to noon on February 24, 2016. The execution has been set for Wednesday evening, February 17, 2016.
Hittson's Crime (April 4, 1992)
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals summarized the facts of the crime as follows:
In the spring of 1992, Travis Hittson, Edward Vollmer, and Conway Utterbeck were stationed aboard the USS Forrestal, an aircraft carrier that was based in Pensacola, Florida, at the time. They were all assigned to the electrical division of the engineering department. Vollmer and Hittson were on the same work detail, and Vollmer was Hittson's Leading Petty Officer. Utterbeck had a different assignment but worked in a similar capacity in the same area of the ship.
On Friday, April 3, 1992, Vollmer invited Hittson and Utterbeck to come with him to his parents' house in Warner Robins, Georgia, for the weekend. His parents were out of town. Apparently neither Hittson nor Utterbeck was aware that the other had also been invited until shortly before they left Pensacola. The three men arrived at Vollmer's parents' house late Friday evening, but they did not have a key, so they spent the night in a storage shed behind the house. On Saturday, April 4, a friend of Vollmer's parents came by to check on the house; finding Vollmer and the two others there, he gave them a key. The three sailors spent most of the day on Saturday hanging around the house, but sometime Saturday evening, Hittson and Vollmer went out drinking. They left Utterbeck at the house.
Early in the morning of Sunday, April 5, after several hours of drinking, Hittson and Vollmer headed back to the Vollmer residence. According to the statement later given by Hittson to law enforcement, he was very drunk by that time. On the drive back, Vollmer worked Hittson up by telling him that Utterbeck was "going to get us"—that Utterbeck was plotting to kill the two of them—so "we've got to get him" by killing him first. At some point—though it is not clear when—Vollmer told Hittson that Utterbeck had a hit list with Hittson's and Vollmer's names on it. When they pulled into the driveway, Vollmer put on a bulletproof vest and a long trench coat and grabbed a sawed-off shotgun and a .22 caliber handgun from his car. He gave Hittson an aluminum bat that was also in the car and told Hittson that Utterbeck was waiting for them inside the house and was planning to shoot them. Vollmer instructed Hittson to go in first and "get him" and then "get him in the kitchen"—so they would not make a mess on the carpet.
When Hittson entered the house, he found Utterbeck asleep in a recliner in the living room. Hittson sneaked up on him and hit him in the head with the bat. Utterbeck woke up and jumped up out of the chair. Hittson hit him in the head again, knocking him to the floor. Utterbeck raised a hand to defend himself, so Hittson hit his hand with the bat and then hit him in the head a third time. The third hit was apparently enough to subdue Utterbeck. Hittson dragged him by his hands into the kitchen, where Vollmer was waiting. Utterbeck was still conscious and asked Hittson, "what did I ever do to you?" Vollmer gave Hittson the .22 pistol and stood on Utterbeck's hand to keep him from struggling. Utterbeck screamed "no, no," and begged for his life, but Hittson shot him point blank in the forehead. In his own words, "I had no emotion or nothing on my face. I know I didn't. I was cold and Vollmer steps on his hand and . . . handed me the gun, I shot him."
Hittson and Vollmer stripped Utterbeck's body, taking the $62 they found in his pockets. They left the body in the kitchen and went to a nearby Waffle House to get something to eat. Upon their return, Vollmer told Hittson that they had to dismember the body and clean up the house to conceal the crime. They initially tried to cut up the body with a serrated steak knife from the kitchen, but then switched to a hacksaw from the tool shed out back. They also found a piece ofslate in the shed, which they placed under the body to avoid scratching up the kitchen floor. Following Vollmer's directions, Hittson sawed off one of Utterbeck's hands and began working on sawing off his head, but got sick and had to stop. Vollmer finished sawing off the head, the other hand, and both feet. Vollmer also skinned part of Utterbeck's arm and chest with a knife and a pair of pliers. The autopsy later showed that Utterbeck's [genitalia was mutilated]. Hittson denied performing the sexual mutilation and stated that he had not seen Vollmer do it either.
After finishing their grisly task, Hittson and Vollmer wrapped Utterbeck's torso and severed body parts in plastic bags and left them in the kitchen while they drove to a nearby wooded area to dig a shallow grave. As they were returning to Vollmer's parents' house—around 10:30 on Sunday morning—they happened to pull onto the highway in front of a local woman who was traveling in the same direction. The woman took notice of Vollmer's car, which had an out-of-state license plate and was pulling off of a lightly traveled dirt road that led to an undeveloped tract of land owned by a friend. Suspicious, she wrote down the license plate number and a description of the car, which she later turned over to the Houston County Sheriff's Office after Utterbeck's torso was discovered on the property two months later.
Hittson and Vollmer returned to Vollmer's parents' house and began cleaning the blood off the kitchen floor and the living room carpet. Vollmer's sister-in-law (who lived nearby) came by around noon on Sunday, while they were still cleaning. Vollmer left with her to go grab a bite to eat, without ever letting her inside the house. While they were gone, Hittson kept cleaning. When Vollmer returned, he and Hittson drove back out to the grave to bury Utterbeck's torso and then went back to the house to finish cleaning. The family friend who had given them the key came by Sunday evening to check on the house again. Hittson had to quickly hide Utterbeck's clothes and throw a blanket over a lingering blood spot in the living room. When the family friend asked where the third guy was, Vollmer told him that Utterbeck was asleep in the back room.
Hittson and Vollmer finally finished cleaning up the house sometime Sunday evening, and so they packed up and set out for Pensacola.
They put Utterbeck's severed hands, head, and feet in the trunk of Vollmer's car, along with a few other pieces of evidence, including Utterbeck's clothing, his identification card, and the .22 shell casing. They threw Utterbeck's clothing and ID card in a dumpster close to Vollmer's parents' house. Before leaving Warner Robins, they stopped at Vollmer's sister-in-law's for about an hour to say goodbye. As they drove back to Pensacola, Vollmer tried to find a good place to dump the remaining body parts, but apparently did not find a spot to his liking.
They made it back to Pensacola around 6 a.m. on Monday, April 6. With Utterbeck's body parts still in Vollmer's trunk, they drove onto the Navy base and reported for duty aboard the Forrestal. When they got off work that day, they drove to a wooded area outside of Pensacola and buried the body parts in several shallow holes. On their drive back into town, they scattered some remaining pieces of evidence in a few dumpsters.
While Vollmer's parents did have guns in their house, it has never been established whether Vollmer (whom Hittson described as "very paranoid") actually believed that Utterbeck was planning to kill them that night, or if Vollmer just told Hittson as much to get him to kill Utterbeck. There is no evidence in the record to indicate that Utterbeck harbored any particular ill will towards either Hittson or Vollmer, or that Utterbeck had any intention to do them harm that night. And, other than the crime itself, there is no evidence in the record to indicate that Vollmer or Hittson had a reason to kill Utterbeck.
When Utterbeck failed to report for roll call on Monday, April 6, the Navy took note of his unauthorized absence but did not further investigate until later that month, when Utterbeck's mother called his division commander to tell him that she had not heard from her son since the first weekend in April—when he had traveled to Warner Robins with two shipmates. Inquiries aboard the Forrestal led Navy personnel to Hittson and Vollmer. When questioned about Utterbeck's whereabouts, they confirmed that they had gone to Vollmer's parents' house over the April 3 weekend with Utterbeck, but they claimed that they dropped him off at a bar in Pensacola sometime in early morning hours of Monday, April 6. On April 27, 1992, the Naval Investigative Service issued a missing persons alert for Utterbeck, and on May 5 he was declared a Navy deserter.
On June 16, 1992, Utterbeck's torso was discovered by loggers who were clearing the wooded property near Vollmer's parents' house. The loggers called the Houston County Sheriff's Office, who unearthed the torso and sent it to the state crime lab in Atlanta. The autopsy did not reveal the victim's identity. Upon hearing about the dead body, the local woman, who had months earlier written down Vollmer's license plate, called the sheriff's office. The plate number she had written down was off by one digit, so the Houston County officials were not able to immediately trace the car to Vollmer.
On June 23, 1992, after receiving no new leads on Utterbeck's whereabouts, Navy investigators broadcast a request to other law enforcement agencies for information regarding any unidentified bodies matching Utterbeck's general description. The Houston County Sheriff's Office responded the same day, informing the Navy that they had unearthed the remains of a white male matching Utterbeck's characteristics approximately two miles from Vollmer's parents' house, with a time of death estimated sometime in early April.
Investigators from Houston County and the Navy interviewed Hittson on June 25, 1992. Hittson initially stuck to his story—that he and Vollmer had dropped Utterbeck off at a bar sometime early Monday morning—but after being confronted with the investigators' suspicions that they had found Utterbeck's dismembered body, Hittson confessed that he and Vollmer had murdered Utterbeck and buried him there. In a taped statement given to the investigators—which was later played for the jury—Hittson described the murder, dismemberment, and disposal of the body parts in detail. After confessing, Hittson led investigators to the spot outside Pensacola where the remaining body parts were buried. He also told the investigators where to find the baseball bat, which he and Vollmer had stashed in the rafters of the shed at Vollmer's parents' house. Hittson was then taken into custody by the Houston County Sheriff's Office. That same day, Vollmer was arrested in Houston County, at his parents' house.
The next day, investigators executed search warrants for Vollmer's car and his parents' house. They found traces of blood and .22 caliber ammunition in the trunk of Vollmer's car. They recovered the .22 pistol, the aluminum bat, the hacksaw, the piece of slate Hittson and Vollmer used during the dismembering, and other various pieces of evidence from the house, and they found traces of blood on the kitchen floor and baseboard.
Hittson v. GDCP Warden, 759 F.3d 1210, 1218-1221 (2014).
