With only three rides and not much else it is sad to see what has become of a once great place to have fun. At one time there were more than a half dozen rides many games and lots of vendors, not to mention all the great food.

The 2015 SHS all class reunion in Shelby, Montana was a great success. Hundreds showed up for the car show and then stayed for the reunion with classmates. There were two bands, food and drinks. Several Vendors sold items. Fun was had by all and the weather was perfect.<br />

<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The new information on Nibiru is more mysterious than its own origins. Not too many people know the true details of Nibiru, and why it exists in our solar system. Let me tell you some basics first about this planet. Planet Nibiru, which was referred by the Sumerians as Planet X, was supposedly the 12th planet in our solar system. The true meaning of planet Nibiru is 'Planet of Crossing'. In the hydrophilic of Sumerians, and Egyptian, they talked about how planet Nibiru had an elliptical orbit than a normal horizontal orbit. The planet took around 750,000 years to come between Mars and Jupiter, and when it did, it created devastation on all the planets during its flyby...</span><br />

<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black;">China's President Xi Jinping has demanded an investigation into Shanghai's New Year's Eve crush that killed 36 people and injured 47.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The crush happened in Chenyi Square in the Bund district, where huge crowds had gathered for the countdown.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The turnout was much higher than predicted, and Shanghai police said they regretted their failure to intervene in time, state media said.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Police are investigating what sparked the crush.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The government cancelled New Year's Day festivities in Shanghai.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Xi Jinping told Shanghai officials to provide an explanation for Wednesday's fatalities as soon as possible, and to "go all out" in efforts to treat the injured, state media reported.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Mr Xi added that local officials around China should ensure that no repeat of the Shanghai incident could occur elsewhere during the upcoming Lunar New Year festival.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">'Fewer police'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The crush began at about 23:35 local time (15:35 GMT) on Wednesday.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Investigations are expected to examine how Shanghai police managed the new year crowds.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Official New Year celebrations had already been canceled</span><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> at the Bund due to fears of overcrowding, state-run news agency Xinhua said, citing local officials.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">However, despite the cancellation, there were "far more" people in the area on Wednesday evening than predicted, with a crowd size similar to the countdown in 2013, it added.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Close to 300,000 people reportedly turned up for New Year's Eve celebrations in the area a year ago.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Shanghai police said that about 700 police officers were located in the area, and 500 were deployed after overcrowding was seen near Chenyi Square, Xinhua reported.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The police expressed regret that they had not managed to "effectively intervene" when the flow of tourists in the area "increased irregularly" at 23:30 (15:30 GMT), the news agency added.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Cai Lixin, a deputy police commander, said in quotes carried by Chinese media that there had been fewer police deployed than for some other events.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">"There were no formal events planned yesterday, so we did not arrange for as many police officers as last year's national day," he said.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">'People screaming'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The crush centered on a stairway leading to a viewing platform near the waterfront, as people tried to get up and down the steps, state broadcaster CCTV said.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">A local resident, identified as Sarah, told AFP news agency "people were screaming... and people [started] jumping off the staircase to get clear."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">She added: "There was a quiet, and then people on the stairs fell in a wave."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Indonesian officials have confirmed that bodies and debris found in the Java Sea off Borneo are from AirAsia flight QZ8501 that went missing on Sunday, a statement by AirAsia says.<br />
AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said he was "devastated" by the news.<br />
President Joko Widodo told media he had instructed all search teams to focus on finding the passengers and crew.<br />
The Airbus A320-200, carrying 162 people from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday.<br />
The head of Indonesia's search operation, Bambang Soelistyo, says three bodies have been retrieved, not 40 as previously stated by naval officials.<br />
The discovery came on the third day of searching. A navy spokesman said rescuers were "very busy now" with the salvage operation.<br />
'End to uncertainty'<br />
The AirAsia statement said the remains were found in the Karimata Strait, south-west of Pangkalan Bun in the Borneo province of Central Kalimantan.<br />
Mr Fernandes said: "I am absolutely devastated."<br />
He told a news conference there could now be an end to uncertainty for everyone involved.<br />
"This is a scar with me for the rest of my life," he said.<br />
"It doesn't change anything. There is at least some closure as opposed to not knowing what's happened and holding out hope."<br />
The AirAsia statement said family members would be assigned care providers and an emergency call centre would be set up for those seeking information.<br />
In a news conference shortly after the discovery was confirmed, President Widodo urged relatives to be strong in facing "this difficult moment".<br />
"I have instructed all the teams to focus on finding the passengers and crew," he said.<br />
The first debris from the plane was spotted earlier on Tuesday. Pictures of debris and bodies were shown on Indonesian TV. Relatives of passengers on the plane watching the pictures were visibly shocked.<br />
line<br />
They had been hoping for a miracle, but in the end they had to watch the worst possible news.<br />
Relatives of the passengers screamed and wailed as local television networks showed pictures of what was clearly a human body floating in the water.<br />
Grown men put their hands to their faces. At least two people collapsed and were taken out of the room on stretchers.<br />
The mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, went from one crying relative to another, and at one point walked out with a grieving man, while telling him: "We don't have a choice. Today this happens to you, tomorrow it may happen to me. Nobody knows. So you have to be strong. Our lives belong to God."<br />
It's been a trying and exhausting wait for the more than 100 relatives who have been gathering in that room, but no-one could have been prepared for this ending.<br />
line<br />
The head of the search operation, Mr Soelistyo, said that a shadow was also spotted under the water, which appeared to be in the shape of a plane.<br />
All resources were now being sent to the area where the debris was found, he said.<br />
Mr Soelistyo added that ships with more sophisticated technology were being deployed to check whether larger parts of the plane were submerged beneath the debris.<br />
AFP journalist Bay Ismoyo, who took some of the first photos of the debris, said he saw "an orange object floating on the waters".<br />
"We saw an unusual object floating. We tried to zoom in and we recognised what looks like a life vest."<br />
At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters joined the operation when it resumed at 06:00 local time on Tuesday (23:00 GMT Monday).<br />
The operation, led by Indonesia, includes assistance from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, with other offers of help from South Korea, Thailand, China and France. The US destroyer USS Sampson is on its way to the zone.<br />
On board the plane were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew.<br />
Most were Indonesian but the passengers included one UK national, a Malaysian, a Singaporean and three South Koreans.<br />
AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.</div>

Five patrol cars and Shelby's version of a SWAT van were called to the wild game processing plant. The Sheriff's officers turned off there headlights and slowly approached the building starting a block away. They arrived at about 11:20 PM. At 12:10 AM there was a large flash from inside the building. Next at 12:16 AM one of the patrol cars turned on their flashing lights and zipped closer to the back of the building. Two officers that had been hiding behind the hedge of a residence in the freezing 25 degree weather then dashed across the street with their guns pointed before them. Soon more and more of the patrol cars turned on their flashing lights and officers ran to the building. By 2:00 AM most of patrol cars and an Ambulance left the location. One officer was then seen interviewing a person at a house next to the meat plant.</span><br />

The arrest was made at about 7:00 PM after a lengthy investigation first by prison staff and then by Toole County. Another person was also arrested at the same time but it is unclear if both arrests were at the prison.<br />
All individuals can be searched anywhere on the prison grounds or inside the prison if and when they are there. This includes any and all staff and management. Also included is their vehicles and belongings.<br />

In that apparent escape attempt, one Shelby prisoner was killed. It is not clear whether any other prisoners were involved but with well over 600 inmates in the half finished prison anything could be possible. The inmate that was killed, was attempting to get through the two high fences and became electrocuted inside those fences. It then took nearly two hours to free the prisoners body from the electric wires. We at NBMC have not yet been able to find out if the prisoner was Male or Female.<br />
Shelby has a large population of Federal prisoners as well as Montana and local inmates. The prison first opened in 1999 with about 525 inmates mostly from Montana.<br />

Approximately 38 school age students and two adults were injured.<br /><br />U.S. Highway 2, at mile marker 296 about 16 miles east of Shelby, was closed for approximately four hours to clean up the wreckage.<br /><br />At approximately 2:45 p.m., the bus, driven by Felicianao Holguin, 39, negotiated a gradual left curve on the highway. As the bus was coming out of the curve, it went off the south side of the highway. Holguin steered the bus back onto the highway, which caused the bus to venture into the oncoming traffic lane. Holguin counter steered the bus back into the right lane, which caused the bus to spin in a clockwise rotation. Once the bus was sideways on the highway, it tipped over onto the driver’s side and skidded on the highway until it came to rest. The bus blocked both lanes of traffic on U.S. Highway 2. Holguin said a heavy gust of wind caused the bus to initially be pushed over to the side.<br /><br />A “code red” blanket was declared, which notified responders of a potential mass casualty event. Along with Montana Highway Patrol, emergency units from four counties (Toole, Pondera, Glacier and Liberty), United States Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, Motor Carrier Services, Montana Department of Transportation and Toole County Health Department all came together to assist. Mercy Flight responded with a helicopter and a fixed wing aircraft.<br /><br />Injured patrons were transported to Marias Medical Center in Shelby, Pondera County Medical Center in Conrad, Northern Rockies Medical Center in Cut Bank, Liberty County Medical Center in Chester and Benefis Hospital in Great Falls. Most of the people injured in the crash were treated and released for minor injuries, but three remained hospitalized at Benefis in Great Falls.<br /><br />The bus passengers had just spent the week at Glacier Bible Camp at an annual Indian Youth Camp. Most ranged from grade school age to high school age. Camp counselor Malachy Hornung, reporting from Benefis, said the three injured passengers who remain hospitalized are “doing very well.”<br /><br /><object width="400" height="257"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/gkpUnfI1jjk?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/gkpUnfI1jjk?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="257" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><br />For the latest news and events get our free XML feed.Just click the little guy below.<a href="http://www.newzblast.com/rss_help.htm"target="_blank"><img src="http://www.newzblast.com/Newspaper_Feed_64x64.png"></a>Post your comments at the link below.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253845558973738010.post-15840401904197189462011-05-11T01:33:00.002-06:002011-06-30T22:50:10.774-06:00G 20 2010<object width="400" height="257"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/zejD0UkMGGY?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/zejD0UkMGGY?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="257" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><br />For the latest news and events get our free XML feed.Just click the little guy below.<a href="http://www.newzblast.com/rss_help.htm"target="_blank"><img src="http://www.newzblast.com/Newspaper_Feed_64x64.png"></a>Post your comments at the link below.NBMC Founder, Gus Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00289140325023149642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253845558973738010.post-72205801373616929982011-05-10T18:36:00.005-06:002011-05-10T18:47:51.293-06:00Protest At Capitol<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CfVKw5pb1dg/TcncLmx2ndI/AAAAAAAAALk/Yq7AukL24aw/s1600/MARIJUANA.jpg"target="_blank"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CfVKw5pb1dg/TcncLmx2ndI/AAAAAAAAALk/Yq7AukL24aw/s320/MARIJUANA.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605253303185612242" /></a><br /><br />Opponents of Senate Bill 423 hope Governor Schweitzer will veto it, though Schweitzer has said he intends to let it become law without his signature.
