Forbes.com names Pittsburgh 'most livable'
Monday, May 03, 2010
By Sally Kalson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Once again, Pittsburgh has been named the country's Most Livable City, this time by Forbes.com.

The business publication ranked the city as No. 1 based on its art and leisure scene, job prospects, safety and affordability.

Reiterating the observation that has won the city high livability marks from other ratings mavens, reporter Francesca Levy wrote: "The city has rebounded from its manufacturing past. Disused steel mills have been repurposed into multimedia art centers."

The article cited the city's strong university presence another factor.

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl pounced on the news, sending out a statement that "Our city has come a long way and I'm thrilled that Forbes.com has once again recognized Pittsburgh's unique position as a City that truly has it all --entertainment and affordability, but most importantly, safety and jobs."

Loved this story in the paper this morning.
 
Student ninjas foil Australian mugging
 

Agence France-PresseMay 21, 2010
 
 
Three Australian muggers who struck near a martial arts school got the fright of their lives when five black-clad ninjas foiled their attack.

The trio, who were beating and kicking a trainee medic from Germany, fled in panic when the student ninjas aged 18 to 47 raced out of the nearby hall where they had been training.

"They all just froze," said Kaylan Soto, 42, who was training the students. "Then they just took off. I've never seen guys running that fast. They should have been in the Olympics -- they would have won gold."

Soto said the ninjitsu class was wrapping up late Tuesday when one of his students went outside and saw the men attacking the 27-year-old German, who was near the end of an eight-week exchange visit.

"He's called out to me, 'Sensei

'Grim eater' banned from funerals

A fake mourner dubbed "the Grim Eater", who gatecrashed funerals just to eat the food on offer, has been warned off by undertakers in New Zealand.

The man attended up to four funerals a week, even taking home leftovers in a "doggy bag" container.

Danny Langstraat, a director of Harbour City Funeral Home in Wellington, said his company finally became so irritated with the intruder's behaviour that it took a photograph of him, which it distributed to its branch offices.
 
The firm also alerted grieving families to his presence.

"He was showing up to funeral after funeral and, without a doubt, he didn't know the deceased," Mr Langstraat said.

"We saw him three or four times a week.

"Certainly, he had a backpack with some Tupperware containers so, when people weren't looking, he was stocking up," he told the Dominion-Post newspaper.

Mr Langstraat said the man, in his 40s, was respectably dressed and did not look like someone who lived on the streets.

"He was always very quiet and polite, and did as the rest of the mourners did in paying his respects."

The man has stopped turning up since a staff member took him aside and had a stern word in his ear, telling him he could not take food home.

Tony Garing, president of the Funeral Directors Association, said it was difficult to stop people attending funerals.

"If it's in a church, or even in a funeral home, if a notice has been published in the paper it's essentially a public event."

I liked that story a lot too. My mom talks shit about people in public by speaking in french to me sometimes and I always tell her someone is going to understand her.
It also reminds me of a passage from one of David Sedaris' books. He is an American who moves to Paris to live with his boyfriend. He doesn't speak any french. While he is on the subway there, some US tourist points him out to his wife saying what a typical french asshole Sedaris is, thinking that Sedaris doesn't understand english

I actually saw a report on this where they said he also stole some cigarettes.  Then walked across the street, sat down and started smoking and drinking. I wonder if he wanted to get arrested "Just Like Ricky"


KITTERY, Maine (CBS/AP)
A New Hampshire man has been arrested 153   times...oops, better make that 154 -- and now he's Maine's problem.    The Portsmouth Herald reported on its website Tuesday that   49-year-old Paul Baldwin, of Portsmouth, N.H., was arrested Monday in   Kittery, Me., for allegedly stealing beer from a convenience store.
As for priors...let the record show that Baldwin's criminal   record already included eight trespass notices, 75 citations, four  Social Security aliases and convictions for thefts, receiving stolen   property, arson and criminal mischief.
That's enough,   don't you think?
Police Chief Ed Strong said this time   surveillance images showed Baldwin stealing two 18-packs and a 12-pack   of beer. Strong said Baldwin was charged with theft and -- perhaps not   surprisingly -- for failing to appear in court on outstanding warrants.

Yes, but not THAT merry: German police find 6-foot marijuana plant decorated as Christmas treehttp://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/i77117.html
 
 
*****
 
What a great idea - and green, too. Rather than slinging out that poor old fir tree at the end of the holidays with the rest of the garbage, you can simply smoke your festive greenery instead, or make some nice brownies.
 
Personally I think the guy should sue the police for calling him an "old hippy".  :lol:

Classic indeed. I lived in a trailor park for about 6 years in Granite Bay, Ca. And my girlfreind grew up there her whole oung adult life. There was a lady there that we called hook. She was like the park hooker. Its fuckin crazy because the things happening and the charactors in trailor park boys, though exaggerated, are striking similar to the park I lived in. Randy reminds me of myself however not so repulsive. My girlfreinds dad was the manager of the park and did maintenance. And we used to walk around and drive around trying to maintain the park and harrass drug addicts and drunks and shit. But then I turned into more of Ricky as i fell into a drug addiction and alocoholism. Then I was like the park terror except for the guns. Julian reminds me so much of my old friend Jeremy. He was older than me he kind of was my guide through a successful life of crime and addiction. Though in reality it was an unsuccessful life. I live 2 hours from that area nowadays. I refuse to go back there because of my life of sobriety. But all the same I love Trailor park boys. Hella funny!!!!??? :perv1:

I saw this in the news last night.  I love the fact that they're dispensing medical marijuana from an Airstream trailer..  :lol:   Maybe the boys will see this and decide to jack a SUV, hitch up an Airstream & head off to Colorado with Lahey in hot pursuit..

Converted trailers help rural residents get medical marijuana February 10, 2011|By Jim Spellman, CNN



A rodeo cowboy with a bum shoulder, a middle-aged woman who has trouble sleeping and a handful of snowboarders are all crowded around a shiny aluminum trailer on a sunny winter day. Some clutch X-rays, others look around nervously hoping a neighbor won't spot them as they wait in line for a medical marijuana prescription.

If this all seems a little weird, you probably don't live in Colorado, where medical marijuana is the new normal.

State-sanctioned marijuana dispensaries now outnumber Starbucks in Colorado. But outside Denver and Boulder, few doctors are comfortable dealing with medical marijuana.  Now, residents in rural Colorado towns like Salida can see a doctor who are willing to prescribe medical marijuana aboard two shiny aluminum vintage airstream trailers, which have been converted into mobile doctors' offices.

The trailers criss-cross the state, providing exams for new patients and access to medical marijuana for those deemed eligible.

It's all part of the Medical Marijuana Assistance Program of America, the brainchild of Vincent Palazzotto, a 37-year-old entrepreneur.

"The doctors are the gatekeepers to make sure the patients have access to the medicine," he said. "We want to be sure no patient is left behind and it starts with the rural communities."

A doctor must first examine would-be patients and, if the physician signs off, the state of Colorado will issue a card allowing these patients to buy marijuana from dispensaries around the state.

An exam costs $100, but Palazzotto said he operates on a sliding scale for patients who can't afford to pay the full price.

"Right now our doctors will see 10% of our patients for free and we can provide a 30 to 50% discount to disabled veterans as well as other folks in need in programs like Medicaid and Medicare," said Palazzotto.

David Faulk, a 52-year-old tree-cutter, is one of those waiting in line to see if he qualifies for a prescription. He says the ibuprofen he's been using to treat his chronic pain just isn't enough.

"I just hope to deaden the pain and help my quality of life," he said.

The mobile clinic has saved him a 300-mile round trip drive to Denver, the nearest place where he could find a doctor willing to write a recommendation for medical marijuana.

Ten years ago, Colorado voters passed a constitutional amendment allowing for the medical use of marijuana, but it remains against federal law.   :6paper:   :ricky:

This looks like something The Boys would do:

Forget border hopping and sewing drugs into car cushions. Mexican   smugglers have found a far more creative way to push pot north of the border: via giant catapults.
Two massive drug catapults were found in the Mexican   state of Sonora, about 20 yards from the U.S. border in Arizona, the   Associated Press tells us.
Resting on SUV flatbeds, each of the ancient   contraptions were capable of flinging 4.4 pounds of marijuana over the   border at a time.
National Guard troops found the first machine on   Wednesday, and local soldiers followed an anonymous tip to the second   one Agua Prieta on Thursday. They seized the vehicles, the catapults,   and 35 pounds of the drug.

US police cop breast milk spray

Updated: 15:43, Wednesday August 3, 2011

A US woman accused of spraying  sheriff's deputies with her own breast milk has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Stephanie Robinette, 30, was arrested on June 25 by deputies responding to a domestic dispute.  Sheriff's officials in central Ohio's Delaware County said she  refused to co-operate when officers tried to remove her from a  car.  They say she told them she was a breast-feeding mother, then  exposed her breast and sprayed them with milk.  Robinette was reportedly drunk at the time and had just had a fight with her husband at a wedding reception. Video footage shows her passed out inside the car and officers unable to rouse her. She pleaded guilty last month to charges of assault and  obstruction of  official business and was sentenced on Monday in  Delaware Municipal Court.  As well as the two-year probation, she was ordered to pay $US200 ($A185) in fines. She was also ordered by the court to undergo anger management classes, the New York Daily News reported.

Gordon Ramsay Sex Dwarf Eaten By Badger

In a bizarre case that would have even CSI's top investigators stumped, a dwarf porn star who was Gordon Ramsay's doppelganger was found dead in a badger set in the U.K. RadarOnline.com has learned.

Percy Foster, star of X-rated movie Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It's Up Your A**e We Go, was about to be rocketed into the ranks of celebrity porn lookalikes due to his resemblance to the Hell's Kitchen host when his partially eaten body was discovered in a badger's den.

According to a report in U.K. tabloid The Sunday Sport, the 3'6" actor was found "deep in an underground chamber by Ministry of Agriculture experts ahead of a planned badger-gassing program near Tregaron, west Wales."

Expert CSI teams had to use fingertip technology to remove his body from the six-foot-deep burrow, and investigators have not yet ruled out the possibility of suicide.

"Percy was a little guy with big problems," said adult film producer Dexter Yamunkeh. "He was doing well but was under pressure like everyone else in this god damn industry."

In a recent interview, 35-year-old Percy revealed his delight at being compared to Ramsay.

"Porn lookalikes get more money than normal actors. Dwarf lookalikes are as rare as hen’s teeth and so can command top dollar.
“I’ve already ordered a new BMW and a diamondencrusted Soda Stream," said the pint-sized porn star.
