11-year-old ‘bully’ to spend childhood behind bars after cold-blooded shotgun murder of 8-year-old neighbor
Man choked to death after attempting to eat cheeseburger whole
A father-of-three choked to death as he tried to eat a McDonald's cheeseburger in one mouthful, an inquest has heard.
Darren Bray, 29, of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, blacked out as he ate the 99p burger following a night out with friends in October 2015. Cardiff Coroner's Court heard Mr Bray, who had been drinking, but not enough to affect his judgement, died from a blockage to his airway.
A death by misadventure conclusion was recorded. The hearing was told Mr Bray said "watch this" to his friends as he squashed the burger in half and put it in his mouth. Friend Sam Bisgrove said: "I could see him trying to cough it up and he was making horrible coughing noises. I tried to hit his back to help him clear his airway."
Paramedics arrived and performed CPR on Mr Bray, who was at a friend's
house in Barry, but were unable to restart his heart and he was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Dr Rhiannon Trefor told the hearing there was an 8cm by 5cm (3in by
1.9in) ball of food stuck in his throat.
"He would not have been able to breathe ... with that in his airway, she
said.
Couple arrested after Silly String fight in Walmart
A Silly String incident at a Walmart store in Michigan has resulted in
retail fraud charges against a couple who made a mess with the canned
string.
The Muskegon couple entered the store outside of Ludington and commenced
to get in a "fight" with the Silly String, said Mason County Sheriff
Kim C. Cole.They allegedly ended up emptying "multiple" cans of the
string, which comes out of an aerosol can, in multiple aisles of the
store, Cole said.
"It sounds like they did make quite a mess," he said.
Employees of the store demanded the couple pay for the cans they used, Cole said.
"They opted just to leave rather than pay," the sheriff said.
And so a sheriff's deputy responded, catching the couple nearby and throwing them in jail for retail fraud.
Free on bond are Samantha Christiansen, 26, and Derek Gomez, 24, both of Muskegon, according to the sheriff's office. "They're certainly old enough to know better," Cole said. Misdemeanor third degree retail fraud, stealing products worth up to $200 from a store, is punishable by up to 93 days in jail or a fine up to $500 or three times the value of the items taken, whichever is greater. Silly String sells for about $3 a can.

Shoplifter left behind her phone and a puddle of urine
An alleged shoplifter in Florida tried to make off with more than $2,100 in designer clothes on Friday, police say.
Along the way, police have said that Brooke Amber Sutton, 27, left behind some unusual evidence.
According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, an employee at the Ann
Taylor store at Silver Sands Premium Outlets in Miramar Beach called
authorities after discovering several security tags that had been
removed from merchandise. Along with the tags was a cell phone.
The deputy discovered the phone number for the cell phone owner’s
husband, and was able to contact him. The husband reportedly gave the
deputy a description of the suspect’s car, which the deputy later
spotted near the store. Sutton was driving the vehicle.
According to Sutton’s arrest report, she reportedly admitted during a
post-Miranda warning interview that she entered the Ann Taylor store and
took numerous items into the fitting room. While inside, she reportedly
confessed to removing the price tags and security devices from the
items, leaving the store with 18 items she didn’t pay for.
Sutton also urinated on the floor and on several items of merchandise.
After slipping out of the Ann Taylor store undetected, Sutton entered Saks Off Fifth.
There she entered a fitting room with between 15 and 20 pairs of jeans. Sutton later exited the fitting room with six pairs of jeans, valued at more than $1,000, draped over her arm. She reportedly concealed the jeans under a men’s suit jacket. Sutton then left the store, setting off a security alarm. When the deputy made contact with Sutton, he discovered the jeans in her vehicle. Sutton was arrested on two counts of felony retail theft and was booked into the Walton County Jail. She was released on bond the next day.

Catnapper ate lollipop, drank coffee and smoked pot at victim's home
Authorities in Vermont have arrested a man who allegedly broke into a
North Troy home twice since the weekend, each time engaging in unusual behavior.
Mark Frady, 54, illegally entered a residence in the state's Northeast
Kingdom late on Saturday afternoon and early on Monday morning,
according to Vermont State Police investigators, who arrested him on
Tuesday in North Troy. 
The victim, Chris Nelson, 49, told police that Frady took Mason, a tabby
cat, after breaking into her home at around 5:30pm on Saturday. "At
this time, no one knew who this subject was," police said in a
statement.
Troopers were called back to Nelson's home at around 4:30am on Monday.
This time, Nelson said, Frady entered her locked residence while
everyone was asleep. 
Nelson said she woke up to find "Frady talking to himself while eating a lollipop, drinking coffee and smoking marijuana," police
said.
Nelson told police the intruder was Frady, who used to live down the
street from her. Frady left in a 1999 blue Toyota Camry with Vermont
tags. When Nelson's son tried to stop the car, Frady allegedly showed
him a handgun, police said. Frady was taken into custody without incident on Tuesday afternoon in North Troy. Mason the cat was unharmed and was returned to its owner, according to police, who did not indicate if Frady and Nelson are acquainted. Frady was remanded to Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport, Vermont, in lieu of $25,000 bail. He is expected to be arraigned in Orleans District Court in Newport.
Calf born with a map of Australia on its hide probably saved from ending up on dinner plate
A calf from Yougawalla Station in the Kimberley region of Western
Australia has been born with a marking on its hide that looks like a map
of Australia.
Yougawalla Station's Jane Sale reckons the unique coat will probably save the calf from ending up on the dinner plate.
"We definitely know which paddock he's in and we'll be keeping an eye out for him when we draft, and I think for sure he'll have to stay around [and not be sold]," she said.
"As he grows I hope it [the Australian map] stays in its current shape." Mrs Sale said it even seemed like New Zealand was visible up near the animal's front-right leg, and the south-east tip of Indonesia was on his rump.

Dog separated from her own litter broke out of kennel to comfort crying puppies
It appears the maternal instinct was strong with one dog at a boarding
kennel in St. Albert in Alberta, Canada, as surveillance video shows,
she broke out of her own kennel in an apparent effort to comfort rescue
puppies staying at the same facility.
On Friday, Sandi Aldred, owner of Barkers Pet Motel and Grooming said
Maggie, an Australian Shepherd cross took extreme measures to help some
rescue puppies that were also at the kennel.
Surveillance footage shows Maggie going up to the kennel the puppies
were in, and trying to comfort the two crying puppies inside - she had
broken out of her own kennel to get to them.
Aldred said it was the puppies’ first night at the kennel, and they may have been a little scared. “She just wanted to get to these puppies, so she pushed her way through, wiggled her way out,” Aldred said. “She must’ve known pretty much where they were because she almost went right to their room.
“She stood there, she pawed at their door, she put her nose in there,
she did her little bum wiggle and little bow to them and just wanted to
be in there with them.
Then she just sort of stood guard with them until we got back.”
Aldred said Maggie’s own litter of puppies had been adopted out.
Meanwhile, the two puppies Maggie tried to comfort, along with the other
seven in their litter, will soon be up for adoption.
There are videos, showing different footage, here and here.

"My Log Cabin 1985"
Behold paradise on Earth.
Flickr member andolent shares the story of this retreat that he built by himself and lived in for 8 years:I lived here for about eight years, and owned it for about fifteen years after I built it in 1976 with local fieldstone and oak logs I cut, peeled and notched on the site, working alone with hand tools. It had no plumbing, I carried water from a nearby spring, and I heated it in winter with about half a cord of wood a week which I cut and burned in the open fireplace. Eventually I moved into Asheville and had to sell it, but it was a large part of my life, and I miss it more with each passing year.I don't blame him.
