Editors note
Ive had my fair share of road trips. Like the time when I was eight and my family was driving through Nevada in the middle of a 10-hour-day car ride. I had insisted that my little brother play Go Fish with me even thought he had told my parents that his stomach hurt. I just kept right on dealing out the cards. Then he puked. He threw up all over his Ninja Turtle shirt, all over the back seat, and all over my Go Fish cards. When we stopped the car, my parents jumped out to

clean up the mess. And then my brother puked some more. I guess he wouldnt be a good candidate for a truck driver. And I guess truck drivers have good digestive systems. But dont take it from me. Check out Natalie Johnsons feature story about truck drivers on page 8. From road accidents to truck stops, Johnson brings the little anecdotes and figures that might make you appreciate those roadsters a little more. Anja Winikka

crock pot
Use one to make a healthy, cheap meal
By Laura Snyder, Jayplay writer Macklen Mayse, Lenexa senior, juggles a full schedule. From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., shes in class. With no time to grab lunch, Mayse sneaks a peanut butter sandwich and a granola bar into one of her lectures. After classes are over, she heads to the Lawrence Art Center to teach until 5 p.m. Then she drives to Kansas City, where she grabs a salad for dinner at the restaurant where she works. She usually doesnt make it home until 11 p.m. Mayse works on weekends, too, so finding time to cook a meal from scratch is almost impossible for her. But theres an easy solution to the whats for dinner? problem: a crock pot. Busy moms and dads have been using them for years, and college students who are busy people, too. With a crock pot, also called a slow cooker, you can save money, meal preparation, clean-up time and calories. They are simple to use but still allow you to cook creatively. Save time and money One major benefit of crock-pot cooking is lower food costs, says Dawn Hall, author of Busy Peoples Slow Cooker Cookbook. While you may not be able to afford filet mignon on a regular basis, you can make inexpensive, tougher cuts of meat into masterpieces. Fatty, more expensive cuts usually dont turn out well when cooked in crock pots. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes are cheap, and they become tender and flavorful when cooked in a crock pot. Preparation time can be as short as you want, depending on the complexity of the recipe. You can put meat and chopped vegetables in the crock pot the night before or in the morning, add water or soup broth, plug it in and let it go. Most recipes call for eight to 10 hours of cooking time. Clean-up is a breeze, because you only have one pot to wash. Pick a Pot You can buy a slow cooker at Target or Wal-Mart for $13 to $60. Pro Pots, a brand sold at both stores, even makes pots shaped like basketballs and footballs. If youre on a budget, check garage sales and thrift shops. Keep in mind the number of people you want to feed. If you only plan to make enough food for one to three people, a four-quart pot will be fine, says Rick Rodgers, author of The Slow Cooker Ready & Waiting Cookbook. If you are feeding a house full of roommates or you plan to freeze leftovers for quick meals later, you might want to go with a larger pot that holds six or seven quarts. Bethany Colwell, Olathe junior, learned not to use a bigger pot when cooking just for herself. If you dont put enough food in to fill the pot, your meal will burn very easily, she says. Rodgers also recommends choosing a pot that has heat coils running up the side of the unit instead of just on the bottom, so food will heat evenly. For convenience, try to find a slow cooker that has a removable crock. These are usually dishwasher-safe and make it easy to pop the leftovers in the fridge. Be creative So what can you cook in a crock pot? Almost anything. You can basically do nothing wrong in a crock pot, says Tina Bell, caterer for Liz Karr Catering, Inc. Its really a no-brainer because its such a dump vehicle. Recipes are easily available on the Web, and a variety of cookbooks have been published specifically for crock pots. That doesnt mean you have to follow a recipe, but Rodgers says some foods just dont mix well with slow cookers. Although there are some recipes for making cakes and breads in a crock pot, Rodgers says some of these items simply fare better in a hot, dry oven. For beginners, he recommends dishes like pot roast, chili or stew. You can also make great party snacks, such as nacho cheese or mini smoked sausages with barbecue sauce. Rodgers book even includes a recipe for lamb vindaloo, a spicy Indian dish. One of Colwells favorite recipes simply consists of chicken breasts and a can of spaghetti sauce, with pasta added toward the end of cooking time. Master the art of slow cooking The difference between amateur and expert dishes is in the preparation. Most dishes can cook overnight or while youre in class all day. While throwing the ingredients in the pot and walking away will yield edible results, Rodgers says you might be forgoing flavor for simplicity. Browning the meat and softening the vegetables in a skillet before putting them in the pot may take a little time, but it adds flavor. Rodgers also recommends cooking with fresh ingredients. Although some recipes call for frozen vegetables and canned soup, they wont be as tasty as those you make from scratch. Also, take it easy on the seasonings. Little evaporation takes place during cooking, so spices will be intensified, especially garlic and chili powder.

Details

Gabe Krieshok, Shawnee Heights senior, saw Emmanuel perform at last years festival and says, Honestly, he is the best musician Ive ever seen in my life.

Campground jammin The real fun to be had in Wineld is in Pecan Grove. This section of the Cowley County Fairgrounds represents the majority of the camping area and is essentially the pulse of the festival. Its much more than boozing, although sneaking alcohol into the dry campground is part of the fun. Rex Flottman, one of 12 organizers of the festival, says one of his favorite memories from Wineld is the year he and his friends commandeered a golf cart at 3 a.m. They spent hours driving to different campsites in Pecan Grove, listening to music and hanging out with whoever was still awake. He says what really makes Pecan Grove so incredible is that there is no sense of time. Flottman says music is playing 24 hours a day. The festival also plays host to the National Guitar Flat Pick Championship, the International Finger Style Guitar Championship and many more nationally recognized contests. Flottman says that with all of these

competitions, you have to assume that Wineld becomes home to at least 200 of the top guitar players in the world, most of whom are probably sitting around a campre in Pecan Grove, waiting for someone to take a seat and start jamming. Bluegrass or bust For many festival goers, dreams come true in Wineld. Flottman met his childhood idol, Tom Chapin, while working at the festival. Chapin a Grammy-award-winning folk singer has been a regular since the late 1980s. Patton jammed at his campsite with now-famous country stars like Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek. What is extraordinary about the festival is not necessarily the amount of musical talent present, but the closeness of everyone who attends. Chapin says he continues to come to the festival because its become a reunion of friends and fellow musicians. Emmanuel says the sheer happiness of everybody is what makes him return year after year. He says that nowhere else in Kansas can 20,000 people come together annually and feel like family.

Jayplays Natalie Johnson investigates the lives of commercial vehicle drivers

he Iron Skillet restaurant of the Oak Grove, Mo., Travel Plaza looks, smells and feels just like a truck stop ought to. There are a few tired-looking waitresses, all under 30, with their hair either hastily pulled back or badly permed. There is a long salad buffet with few takers. The aroma is a curiously comforting, Saturday-morning smell of greasy breakfast food and stale cigarettes. And dead ahead is a low, beige coffee bar patronized by three customers. The first is an overweight woman with a cigarette in hand. Shes got peroxide blonde hair and long, fake purple nails with a flowery decal stuck to the tip of each one. A few seats down is a man who looks to weigh 300 pounds, Camel Lights next to his coffee cup, and sporting a red plaid shirt and a huge belt buckle. The third customer, half the size of his companions and bald, is lighting up a Marlboro Ultra Light 100. Red veins etch into his cheekbones and nose. Their dialogue is a slow, ambling discussion that can easily be paused to light a cigarette or abandoned to get back on the road. It alternates between son of a bitch-riddled diatribes about lousy dispatchers and tall tales about impossible weather, traffic or exwives. The breaks for laughter are frequent and prolonged. Each is generous with his smoky, wheezy guffaw. Everyones a stranger by the civilian worlds standards, but teasing insults and empathetic kindness come out as easily as they do among old friends. And thats just how truckers are: easygoing and grateful for a few moments conversation and story swapping. They dont judge the man who admits to seven children and four ex-wives, and they dont forget to tip their waitress. The stereotyping ends with appearance and mannerisms. Truckers are wise, good-hearted people. Theyre fairly educated too. According to a profile in Newport Communications, roughly half of truckers have some college education. Approximately 90 percent have a high school diploma or equivalent. Theyre an integral yet often overlooked part of life. Ill sum it up for you, says Dieter Reyes, an Army veteran and driver for 10 years. He quotes a T-shirt he saw at a truck stop, If it wasnt for trucks, youd be naked, without a home and with nothing to eat. Life on the road Truckers see more of North America than the most dedicated road-trippers. Keith Henry, a driver-turned-owner, says he has seen every state except Hawaii more times than I can count. From purple mountain majes ties to amber waves of grain, truckers live in picturesque frames. But they do it alone. Loneliness is the immediate, universal response to any inquiry about what makes life as a trucker hard. But they find ways around it. In Henrys early years, he would often walk up to a farmhouse and ask if he could join its residents for dinner, offering to pay for his plate. His presence was never turned down, but his money was every time. Loneliness manifests itself in a lot of ways, not the least of which is the infamous truck stop love, anonymous homosexual encoun ters at roadside stops. Reyes says he has been approached more than once by a baba booey, the advertising call and nickname for gay drivers on the CB, the citizen band radio used by truckers to communicate with one another. Back at home, drivers usually have a miserable record of personal relationships. Studies consistently show that truckers have a higher rate of divorce than the national average. They arent sheepish about admitting to numerous failed marriages, but they dont complain about the horrors of divorce, either. They simply move on. For most, driving is a lifelong marriage to the road. Its not just a job, its a lifestyle. Every aspect of Paul Stephens life has been influenced by his trucking career. When he does make it home, he seldom can stand to be there for more than a few days. In his 34 years of truck driving, hes spent more nights in the cab of his truck than in his own bed. Its hard for him to get comfortable in a bed, so when hes at home, he often fires up the truck in his driveway and sleeps there. There are few other jobs that entail as much private thought as truck driving. Each day holds between eight and 11 hours of solitary confinement. The truckers legal workday recently got extended. Last month, the Bush administration reaffirmed a 2004 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rule change that extended the allowed workday from 10 to 11 hours. Henry says that good drivers use obstaclefree driving time for mental planning so that in the event of bad weather or a collision, theyre ready. He describes a sort of endless solo what if game, with no situation being too outlandish to plan for. On the lighter side, music, CB chatting and cell phone calls can help break up the monotony. Drivers insist smokey bears, or cops, are more likely to go after a trucker than anyone else, because the penalties are so much higher. Reyes was passing through Colorado and failed to follow a sign dictating a lane change. The police caught him and charged $600 for the infraction, he says nearly a whole weeks pay.

Bitch moan

&

I got out of a relationship a while back and ever since Ive been having random onenight stands. I really want to stop, but I dont know how. The sex is addictive. Help! What do I do? Taryn, Sophomore

With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder

Please send your questions to udk_bitch@kansan.edu

Jessica: Two words. Metal underwear. Just kidding! Why not throw that pack of condoms into your paper shredder? That way you wont think twice about bagging that butter face from the bar whos probably just a walking STD. Try hanging out in more group settings and Jessica: Totally! If by helping your relationship you mean objectify yourself! Were always complaining about men seeing us as pieces of meat. Why not present yourself as a respectable girl and you wont have that problem? This means no, Jenny. No nakey pictures. Brian: Oh Facebook.com, is there anything you cant do? Yes, Jenny, sending him that picture could help your relationship and end up with you two living happily ever after with two kids, a house in the suburbs and the white picket fence. It could also end up with

spending one-on-one time with people who dont pose any temptation or who are already in a faithful relationship. Its also wise to have a sober friend around to make sure you go home alone at the end of the night. Brian: Last week Jessica and I talked about getting an STD test. This is something you need to have done yesterday. You are putting yourself in a strong position to contract a disease. One way to stop with these one-night stands is to have some self-control. While its definitely easy to sleep with someone with no strings attached, you need to put your health before your libido. Another way to stem your sexual drive would be to take a personal trip to Priscillas. Im sure there will be something you could find there to keep you entertained. your picture on a website and all of his friends knowing you as that easy girl from Kansas. As much as you might want to turn him on, you have to realize that you dont know everything about him. Maybe he does this with lots of girls. Maybe he just collects pictures of naked girls. Maybe hes actually a 40year-old alumnus who preys on vulnerable college girls. For your safety, keep your clothes on and your camera off.

Im from out-of-state and Im still dating my girlfriend from back home. I want to become friends with girls here at KU, but dont want them thinking that I want more. What should I do to make my intentions clear? Patrick, Freshman

I met a cute guy at a different school through Facebook.com and our online talks have become very intimate recently. I want to take our relationship a step further and Im thinking about sending him a naked picture of me. Do you think this will help our relationship? Jenny, Junior

Brian:The easiest way to not give any girls the wrong idea: DONT LEAD THEM ON!!! Stay away from the sexual talk, the playful touching, and closed space areas. Keep referencing little facts about your girlfriend and emphasize how much you miss her. Unless the girls you are befriending have no morals, they will take the hint. Also, pay attention to your male intuition. If you have any doubts about whether or not you can just be friends with a girl, then you probably shouldnt be friends with her. Jessica: Go buy a honkin fake ring at WalMart and put it in a pretty box. Explain to them that this will be your wifeys ring. Hopefully then youll make friends with the opposite sex without them thinking you want to do them. Or, you know, you could always be sly and allude to her by saying something like, gee, I wonder what I should get my girlfriend for our upcoming anniversary. Easy does it.

Couple: Scott & Leanne

Leanne Breiby, Olathe senior, and Scott Mayo Lenexa senior, have a relationship that is literally based on a lie. They first met because Leanne was good friends with Scotts younger sister in high school. Although they both claim there was an initial attraction, neither one made a move. Their friends decided to take action. One friend went to Leanne to tell her that Scott had confessed his interest. The other went to Scott and told him the same about Leanne, although neither had said anything.

How we met

On their first group date, Leanne smoothly laid down the line, So you like me, huh. To which Scott replied, So, you like me, too. And thats where it all started. More than two years later, the two happily admit that their union is the result of a couple of little white lies. Leanne loves that Scott can always make her laugh and Scott grins as he tells of his favorite feature about Leanne. I like her sexy butt, Scott says. Katie Moyer

Bounce
Lawrence bouncers talk about drinks, fights and why it feels good to be a bouncer
By Lindsey Ramsey, Jayplay writer

Kit Leffler/Jayplay photographer

with me

Clockwise from left: A bouncer at The Red Lyon examines a patrons ID at the door. Paul Paridy, Dallas senior, works the door at Its Brothers! Trent Teimeyer, 29, wont put up with underage imposters at the Granada.

You join the line, get out your ID and hold your breath. The line dwindles in front of you as you try to remember the name and stats on your ID. You reach a big, burly man who surveys you with suspicion. You give him an Ive-donethis-a-million-times look, but there is fear in your eyes. He looks you over again and then it hits you. You arent getting in the bar tonight. Yes, a bouncer has the power to make or break your night and this power makes these men feared by the underage bar hoppers. Its 11:15 p.m. on a Thursday night at The Ranch and the bouncers have already had to push back some girls trying to rush in without paying or letting them get a look at their IDs. It must be tough being the bad guy all the time. Bouncers are a staple of almost every bar in America. They keep

things under control and take care of things when people start trouble. Even the infamous Al Capone worked as a bouncer, which is where he earned his reputable nickname, Scarface. Lawrence bouncers, however, have to deal with a different kind of bar patron: the drunken college student. Paul Paridy, Dallas senior, has been a bouncer for a year at Its Brothers!. Paridy says dealing with drunk people when he is sober and working can be annoying, but the money and the special treatment he receives make the job worth it. Paridy says he gets hooked up by Lawrence business owners who remember him from his door duties at the bar. He says he gets into bars more quickly and even free drinks. One of the most difficult parts of the job is stopping a drunken scuffle. Paridy says when he has to go into full bouncer mode and kick someone out, there is always a lot of talking back and scuffling. He says the nature of a removal usually

involves someone who is too drunk. Patrons who cant hold their alcohol and end up vomiting are automatically kicked out. But, for Paridy, the good part of his job outweighs the bad Its the closest you can come to being out at the bars but youre still making money, Paridy says. Down the street at the Granada, 80s night (a.k.a. Neon) is in full swing. Bouncer Trent Tiemeyer, 29, has worked at the Granada for the better part of four years. He has plenty of stories to tell. He once saw a guy try to sneak downstairs to the basement just to steal beer. Tiemeyer caught the perpetrator and had to physically hold him until the police came to arrest him. Another time, he had to confiscate a girls ID because he was certain that the picture on the ID was not the same girl. The reason he was so certain was that it was his sister-in-laws ID. I said I definitely know this isnt

you, Tiemeyer says. It is. I just got a haircut, she told him. Tiemeyer kept the ID and sent the imposter away. At concerts, not only is Tiemeyer in charge of the door, hes also responsible for looking out for elusive crowd-surfers and keeping the band and managers happy. But working those concerts is his favorite part of the job because he gets to listen to live music and has the chance to meet a lot of cool people, including members of bands like Flogging Molly and Reverend Horton Heat. Despite the perks, Lawrence bouncers have a tough job. Fights, drunken patrons and fake IDs are just a few of the problems have to be constantly aware of and theyre good at what they do. So the next time you jump into a line and fidget as you wait your turn, remember this the bouncers are always watching.

Kansas may be landlocked but the spirit of the sea can still be found at the Sandbar, 17 E. 8th St. Less than a nautical block from Mass. St., this tiny bar (capacity 49) is Lawrences own shack near the wharf, complete with a tiki bar, surfboards and a 400-gallon fish tank. Be sure to ask former KU basketball player and current Sandbar manager Dave Johanning for the bars signature drink: the Bahama Mama a fruity head rush that comes fully-loaded with a tiny umbrella and Mardi Grasstyle beads to wear. Also, browse the citys most baffling jukebox, which includes Jimmy Buffet (understandable), Sinatra (unexpected) and the Schoolhouse Rock soundtrack (incredible).

GAME

Trisha Yearwood
Jasper County 1/2

MUSIC

Its pretty hard to smile if you dont have lips. Thats only one of Death Jr.s problems. I really wanted to like this game. It has a plot that is far from normal: Death Jr. and his friends are in a museum when he opens a box containing a monster that takes his friends souls and scatters them about. The characters are pretty funny and the weapons are original especially the C4 hamsters. Thats right, exploding hamsters. Another reason I wanted to like this was because it is an original to the PlayStation Portable. Unfortunately, the controls are really touchy when targeting weapons and I spent almost five minutes trying to make what seemed to be an easy jump. If youre sick of using your PSP as a portable video player, an MP3 player or as an emulator, check this out. Its not going to blow you away, but it will give you something new and original to play, two things that the PSP is sorely lacking. Charley Forsyth

On Jasper County, Yearwoods first record in four years, she ditches the ballads of yore for a hee-hawin line-up of western-dance numbers and knockout country rockers (Who Invented the Wheel is bluesy, ballsy, gutsy Yearwood at her best). Songs like Pistol and Its Alright revert to old-time hillbilly twang and honky-tonk piano riffs. Sweet Love is smoldering, sexy country, the likes of which Yearwood delivers deliciously. And Try Me is a solid, tense, mid-tempo rocker with pitch-perfect harmonies from Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn. If ever a complaint was made of Yearwood, perhaps unfairly, it was that her material is excessively ballad-heavy

of the mediocre, country-pop-driven variety. Albums like 1998s Real Live Woman and 2001s Inside Out, though some of her best, had trouble rising above the land of mediocrity. Those were saved by Yearwoods interpretive voice. On Jasper County, the material works with Yearwood, rather than Yearwood straining to make the material worth something. And the listener reaps the rewards of such a partnership. Finally, things are as they should be on Jasper County. In a smart move, Yearwood includes only one true ballad, lead single Georgia Rain, a gushing, gorgeous piece of contemporary pop-country, taken to the next level by a nuanced vocal treat-

ment. Thus Jasper County, Yearwoods tenth album proper, should mark a milestone on an already award-studded path. Throughout her career, Yearwood has always made a point to choose material a cut above the mediocre, rarely obvious or instantly catchy, which has succeeded in making her music more interesting, whether due to non-traditional instrumentation, a meandering melody, or unclear hook. Still, its great to see her get a hold of some true radiofriendly, big-chorus, hook-laden stuff. The woman whose voice takes the mediocre to something more is even more amazing when performing material that matches the stellar quality of her voice. The results are sublime. Jasper County is damn well near the best album Yearwood has ever crafted. And thats saying a hell of a lot. Nick Connell
Jasper County will be released Sept. 13th.
