A woman in labour with twins had to be taken to hospital by fire engine after neither ambulance nor helicopter could reach her in the snow.
For the price of scrambling a sea king once, they could buy themselves a decent four wheel drive truck. I have seen pictures of the snow that is paralyzing that country and it is nothing to write home about.
Prosecutors inquired why the machine had registered a “fail,” which prevents the car from starting, despite the man’s claims that he had not been drinking.
The man claimed the alcohol reading was the result of eating a Bubble O’ Bill ice cream treat and Magistrate Rod Crisp ordered a test to be performed to back up the claim. Police recorded the man’s blood alcohol content as 0.00 and performed the test a second time after he took a few bites of Bubble O’ Bill, yielding a 0.018 reading.
Crisp granted the man’s request to remove the breath testing device from his car.

But while the video received five stars from viewers, some YouTube users were concerned that the dog might be about to lash out at Lucy.
Alexandra Semyonova wrote: “The dog exercises huge self control for a full minute and a half, then gets up and walks away in the end.
“But if it hadn’t, if it had lashed out even symbolically, this child could have spent the rest of its life without a face — and everyone would have blamed the dog.”
Now watch this….
Some people know nothing about dogs. That dog was having almost as much fun as the baby. I have seen dogs put up with a lot worse.
Alternatively, some people hate kids and think that anything that they do must irritate a dog. Either way, the people getting up in arms over this video are disgusting.
The commentary, intro, and intermission on these video’s is annoying as all get out. But the actual competition is fun to watch. I think the shooting sports would be more popular if more people tried this sort of thing.
This is the shotgun challenge….
And this is sub machine gun challenge…..

Forget the “Dukes of Hazard.” In the eastern German town of Limbach-Oberfrohna on Sunday night, a 23-year-old driver speeding through the town center lost control of his vehicle, launched off an embankment and ended up smashed into the roof of the village church some seven meters (23 feet) up. And far from driving a 1969 Dodge Charger, as Bo and Luke Duke favored, the man was behind the wheel of a modest Skoda Octavia station wagon.
Just how the driver, who was evacuated out of the church attic and taken to the hospital with serious injuries, ended up flying so high remains something of a mystery. Police officer Knut Wagner told reporters merely that “the driver took off due to unexplained circumstances, flew some 30 meters (98 feet) through the air and ended up seven meters up in the church roof.”
You know the guy has got to be good when he can do something that you know is hard and make it look easy. Not too many people have the skills to make a consistent product by hand the way this guy does. Most people would have to have depth guides and such.
The ban on disabled people joining the army should be scrapped, according to Britain’s human rights watchdog.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has told the Ministry of Defence that the current ban is descriminatory and that all three armed forces should allow disabled people to serve.
But defence chiefs and government ministers are opposing any moves to relax the rules, saying recruiting disabled people would impact on morale, operational effectiveness and would create a two-tier military organisation.
The EHRC has written to the MoD to demand that it meet the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Person with Disabilities, which Britain has signed.
Alabama was colder than Alaska, water fountains froze into ice sculptures in South Carolina and Florida shivered through a brush of Arctic air blast that deadened car batteries in the Northeast and prompted scattered Midwest power outages.
As Southerners awaited an expected weekend thaw, the Northeast persisted under the bitterly cold air from Canada that sent temperatures plunging in some places below minus 30 degrees and left even longtime residents reluctant to venture outdoors.
Good thing heating oil prices have dropped so much or people would really be hurting.
A shepherd who allowed his wayward sheep to intimidate his neighbours has admitted breaching an Asbo which banned the flock from the village.
Reading the article closely, it seems that the real problem is that the shepherd had the legal right to let his sheep roam freely, but this legal right caused problems for the people of the town. So it seems that they used laws designed to limit the movement of wife beaters and such to force him to keep his sheep away from where he had the legal right to let his sheep roam.
Still, the headline of people in the U.K being intimidated by sheep seemed like such a good representation of the character of the modern inhabitants of England that I just could not pass it up.
