Omaha dad finds pot brownies, eats 4 of them, says mean things to cat

An Omaha dad who mistakenly ate some marijuana brownies didn’t enjoy the experience.

Omaha police officers were called to a house near 90th and Maple Streets about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday to investigate an accidental overdose. They learned that a 53-year-old man had been unloading groceries and found some brownies in the backseat of a car that his adult children had used earlier in the day.

The man ate four of the brownies.

The man’s wife told police that as she and her husband were watching TV, he noted that he was getting “bad anxiety.” She tried to call their children to ask them what was in the brownies but couldn’t reach them. (The woman told officers that she would rather not provide her children's names because she thought they could get in trouble. An Omaha police spokesman said the investigation into the matter has concluded.)

As police were at the house, one of the couple’s sons arrived and told officers the brownies belonged to his siblings. He told them he was “pretty sure it was just marijuana in the brownies,” according to a police report.

Paramedics called to the scene who checked the man found his vital signs to be normal. But they noted he was displaying odd behavior — crawling around on the floor, randomly using profanities and calling the family cat “a bitch.” :lol: :lol:

The man told paramedics he felt like “he’s trippin’.” He declined their offer to be taken to the hospital.

The paramedics helped the man to his bedroom and he got into bed. The man and his wife were told to call 911 again if his situation worsened.

:lol: :lol: If you aren't used to the herb, then edibles can mess your day up. At least the worst thing that happened is that some feline feelings got offended. If they were flakka brownies he would have fed his wife's face to the cat.

An oldie but goodie-

"I wanna make sure it goes through on the first whack!"

Meet Paul Morgan, aka "Freck." He wants to do something very out of the ordinary. "We could make money, chop your feet off with a train over the internet." Luckily, Paul didn't take his friend's advice, but he is going to cut his feet off. For $20, he'll let you watch him do it "live" on the internet.


"The feet have to come off anyway to have the amputation. I'm going to take my feet off this way to raise the money I need to get the prosthetics."

Yes, you heard right. Paul is going to chop his feet with a homemade guillotine. Paul injured his legs in a car crash back in 1986. He can walk but barely. He says his insurance company won't pay for an operation. That's why he's selling internet subscription for $20, so people can watch him amputate his feet. "They regard this as unnecessary surgery, because even though my feet and my lower legs are total debilitated, they're not a danger to my health."

Paul says he needs to raise over $100,000 to pay for the prosthetics and future surgeries. You have to admit, Paul seems a little crazy. Especially since the Attorney General's office offered to get him some help. "They offered a surgeon in Jackson, who would cut off my legs for free. Now, they didn't offer any kind of rehab or amputation or prosthetics." Paul says he needs extra money for post-surgery procedures.

The AG's office could stop Paul's plans. Officials refused to comment on camera, but they told us Paul might be violating the state's Mayhem Statute. The one passage that pertains to Paul: "Mutilating or destroying a limb." If convicted, a person could face jail time. The law aside, what about the safety issue? Paul says he'll receive a sedative and wear tourniquet on his legs, "I've already secured the efforts of EMT's locally as well as around the country who will be there on site." Paul will to go the hospital immediately after the cut.

As morbid as it sounds, Paul is looking forward to dropping the blade. "To me, this is going to be much more of a celebration. People say, 'you seem too much excited.' For me, it's going to be a celebration. This is beginning of a whole new way of life for me." Paul is scheduled to chop off his feet on November 30th. If he doesn't raise enough money, he says he'll give his voyeuristic fan club members a rebate.

This just in, it looks like Paul's fans will have to wait another month to see Paul do "his duty." Because of construction and web delays, the event is now scheduled for January 5 at an undisclosed location on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Overdosed? :lol: He was just high. Four brownies will get you lit, if they are made with good stuff.

My drummer, bowling teammate, and soul brother Eddie, blames me for almost killing him one day after he ate some cookies I made. Shortly after eating the cookies, he passed out on the couch, and our practice had no drummer. He doesn't smoke much, and he ate more than he should have. The bong hits probably didn't help.

U.S. Army fudged its accounts by trillions of dollars, auditor finds

Fri Aug 19, 2016 | 5:34 PM EDT

By Scot J. Paltrow | NEW YORK

(Reuters) - The United States Army’s finances are so jumbled it had to make trillions of dollars of improper accounting adjustments to create an illusion that its books are balanced.

The Defense Department’s Inspector General, in a June report, said the Army made $2.8 trillion in wrongful adjustments to accounting entries in one quarter alone in 2015, and $6.5 trillion for the year. Yet the Army lacked receipts and invoices to support those numbers or simply made them up.

As a result, the Army’s financial statements for 2015 were “materially misstated,” the report concluded. The “forced” adjustments rendered the statements useless because “DoD and Army managers could not rely on the data in their accounting systems when making management and resource decisions.”

Disclosure of the Army’s manipulation of numbers is the latest example of the severe accounting problems plaguing the Defense Department for decades.

The report affirms a 2013 Reuters series revealing how the Defense Department falsified accounting on a large scale as it scrambled to close its books. As a result, there has been no way to know how the Defense Department – far and away the biggest chunk of Congress’ annual budget – spends the public’s money.

The new report focused on the Army’s General Fund, the bigger of its two main accounts, with assets of $282.6 billion in 2015. The Army lost or didn’t keep required data, and much of the data it had was inaccurate, the IG said.

“Where is the money going? Nobody knows,” said Franklin Spinney, a retired military analyst for the Pentagon and critic of Defense Department planning.

The significance of the accounting problem goes beyond mere concern for balancing books, Spinney said. Both presidential candidates have called for increasing defense spending amid current global tension.

An accurate accounting could reveal deeper problems in how the Defense Department spends its money. Its 2016 budget is $573 billion, more than half of the annual budget appropriated by Congress.

The Army account’s errors will likely carry consequences for the entire Defense Department.

Congress set a September 30, 2017 deadline for the department to be prepared to undergo an audit. The Army accounting problems raise doubts about whether it can meet the deadline – a black mark for Defense, as every other federal agency undergoes an audit annually.

For years, the Inspector General – the Defense Department’s official auditor – has inserted a disclaimer on all military annual reports. The accounting is so unreliable that “the basic financial statements may have undetected misstatements that are both material and pervasive.”

In an e-mailed statement, a spokesman said the Army “remains committed to asserting audit readiness” by the deadline and is taking steps to root out the problems.

The spokesman downplayed the significance of the improper changes, which he said net out to $62.4 billion. “Though there is a high number of adjustments, we believe the financial statement information is more accurate than implied in this report,” he said.

"THE GRAND PLUG"

Jack Armstrong, a former Defense Inspector General official in charge of auditing the Army General Fund, said the same type of unjustified changes to Army financial statements already were being made when he retired in 2010.

The Army issues two types of reports – a budget report and a financial one. The budget one was completed first. Armstrong said he believes fudged numbers were inserted into the financial report to make the numbers match.

“They don’t know what the heck the balances should be,” Armstrong said.

Some employees of the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS), which handles a wide range of Defense Department accounting services, referred sardonically to preparation of the Army’s year-end statements as “the grand plug,” Armstrong said. “Plug” is accounting jargon for inserting made-up numbers.

At first glance adjustments totaling trillions may seem impossible. The amounts dwarf the Defense Department’s entire budget. Making changes to one account also require making changes to multiple levels of sub-accounts, however. That created a domino effect where, essentially, falsifications kept falling down the line. In many instances this daisy-chain was repeated multiple times for the same accounting item.

The IG report also blamed DFAS, saying it too made unjustified changes to numbers. For example, two DFAS computer systems showed different values of supplies for missiles and ammunition, the report noted – but rather than solving the disparity, DFAS personnel inserted a false “correction” to make the numbers match.

DFAS also could not make accurate year-end Army financial statements because more than 16,000 financial data files had vanished from its computer system. Faulty computer programming and employees’ inability to detect the flaw were at fault, the IG said.

DFAS is studying the report “and has no comment at this time,” a spokesman said.

Family gets food poisoning at dinner held to celebrate them surviving food poisoning

A Turkish family poisoned themselves and more than 20 guests at a dinner party they threw to celebrate recovering from food poisoning.

Wife and mother Asiye Erdal served an animal the family had sacrificed to show gratitude to God for helping them recover from the earlier illness, but ended up hospitalising everyone present.

Four people remain in intensive care in the northern Turkish province of Tekirdag, Anadolu news agency reports.

Alattin Erdal, Ms Erdal's husband, said he was confused by the family's misfortune.

“We don’t get it. First we were poisoned and then sacrificed an animal for God as a sign of gratitude for gaining our health back. Then we were poisoned once again, as well as the neighbours. May God save us from the worst,” he told Anadolu. “Food poisoning became our nightmare.”

The family of four initially suffered from stomach aches so severe they had to spend a week in hospital after eating a meal Ms Erdal had prepared.

When they were discharged, they invited their neighbours to help them show gratitude for their health, and to put the negative incident behind them.

However, the Erdal family again developed stomach aches after eating, as did their guests.

Ms Erdal said in the future she would be more careful about preserving food, and added the family had become more fussy about what they ate after the two bouts of illness.

Kim Jong-un throws dance party to celebrate North Korea missile launch
Celebrations follow threat to turn Seoul and Washington into 'a heap of ashes'


Image

North Korea celebrated its “Military First” holiday and the recent success of its ballistic missile testing with mass dances and a series of outdoor concerts in Pyongyang.

State television broadcasts and newspaper front pages hailed the submarine-launched missile, which represented a giant leap in North Korean military technology.

In response, traditional mass dancing demonstrations were held across the country, the biggest taking place in the capital's Kim Il-sung Square.

Mass dancing is a common form of celebration in North Korea during state festivities and birthdays.

Such spectacles are rarely spontaneous and usually staged and tend to take place in front of important political monuments. After the country successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in January, footage showed young women dressed in elaborate gowns dancing around a stone statue.

The “Military First” holiday celebrates the anniversary of the Songun policy introduced by Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong-il, in 1960, which gave primacy to the North Korean army in state politics and funding.

After the successful Pyukguksong missile test, Kim Jong-un was shown hugging officials on an observation deck. State media quoted him as calling the event the “success of all successes”.

Despite the parties taking place across the country, the atmosphere in Pyongyang was still tense. Throughout the celebrations, military convoys travelled through the capital.

Recently, North Korean television has aired more military footage than usual. Clips showing soldiers marching chest-deep through mud and across ice-covered lakes, apparently in preparation for conflict, have been broadcast across the country.

The national holiday arrives amid increased tensions between North and South Korea. The South is currently carrying out its annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises with the US south of the neutral Demilitarised Zone.

Rumours that these exercises include training for an invasion of the North have sparked particular alarm in Pyongyang.

“They are not military exercises, but war preparations to invade our country,” said Kim Kyong-ik, a 44-year-old Pyongyang resident.

“Our country is getting more prosperous and they don’t like that, so they are stepping up their moves to stifle us.”

North Korea has warned it will turn Seoul and Washington into “a heap of ashes through a Korean-style pre-emptive strike” if they show any hint of aggression toward the North’s territory.

US State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau urged North Korea to “refrain from actions and rhetoric that further raise tensions in the region.”

Petraeus would have to notify probation officer if named Secretary of State

Former Gen. David Petraeus is reportedly one of President-elect Donald Trump's finalists to be secretary of State.

If he's chosen, he'll have three days to notify his probation officer.

Petraeus was sentenced to two years of probation on April 23, 2015, for giving his mistress classified information.

"The defendant shall not leave the Western District of North Carolina without the permission of the Court or probation officer. Travel allowed for work as approved by U.S. probation office," says a court judgdment, reported first by Brad Heath of USA Today.

"The defendant shall notify the probation officer within 72 hours of any change in residence or employment," the document adds.

In addition to those guidelines, Petraeus could also be subject to warrantless searches if he was appointed to Trump's cabinet. His probation officer would be able to access and review his computer and phone data at any point in time until the end of his sentence.

"The defendant shall submit his person, residence, office, vehicle and/or any computer system including computer data storage media, or any electronic device capable of storing, retrieving, and/or accessing data to which they have access or control, to a search, from time to time, conducted by any U.S. Probation Officer and such other law enforcement personnel as the probation officer may deem advisable, without a warrant," the judgment says.

Trump could hypothetically absolve Petraeus of these guidelines by either pardoning him or commuting his sentence. But he's unlikely to take such an action, which would only highlight Petraeus's legal trouble.

In April 2015, Petraeus was sentenced to two years of probation and a $100,000 fine for giving his mistress classified information.

Petraeus pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material.

The charges against Petraeus stemmed from his decision to give author Paula Broadwell diaries containing classified information, including the identities of covert officers, while she worked on a book about the former military commander.

Prior to his legal trouble, Petraeus was the CIA director, commander of United States Central Command and commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

Critics of Trump have mocked the president-elect for considering Petraeus despite his guilty plea on a classified-information offense, after he frequently called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up over her private email server.

Johnnie Walker Releases ‘Jane Walker’ Whisky To Celebrate Women’s Rights

“With every step, we all move forward,” says the brand’s new campaign.


To coincide with women’s history month, Johnnie Walker has announced a new limited U.S. edition with a feminine twist on their iconic logo, part of an attempt to garner more female whisky drinkers.


Jane Walker dons the label of the new bottles in a move that brand owner Diageo Plc hopes will widen the appeal of the product while celebrating women, Johnnie Walker Vice President Stephanie Jacoby told Bloomberg.

“Scotch as a category is seen as particularly intimidating by women,” Jacoby said. “It’s a really exciting opportunity to invite women into the brand.”

In 2016, the company launched “Keep Walking America” ― a campaign designed to broaden its audience and target groups like Latinos and veterans. Jane Walker is acting as an extension of that campaign and will appear on 250,000 bottles nationwide starting in March.

For each bottle made, Diageo will donate a dollar to organizations that promote women, including Monumental Women and She Should Run.

Additionally, the London-based company said it is making strides internally to boost its female representation and is actively “calling on advertising agencies to put forward one female director as part of any work pitch,” according to Bloomberg.


:lol: :lol:

I thought the Dick’s virtue signaling was comical but this is just great.

A hijab-wearing model will be featured in a mainstream hair ad for the first time.

Living in a post-parody society can still be amusing at times.


Scott Van Pelt does ads for Sports Clips, but at least those are done with a wink and a nod to the fact that he's bald. This looks like it's going to be done straight.

How do you know she's not a proud homosexual?


Hey, that's not what I meant!

Let's assume it was.

I know this is a legitimate condition, and it must be horrible to be a woman with a facial hair problem, but I think this might be a guy.

After years of shaving, a woman has turned the excess body hair triggered by her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) into inspiration for a beauty vlog.

Nova Galaxia’s Bearded Babe YouTube channel features makeup and glitter beard tutorials from the perspective of — in her words — a “simple bearded lady new to the #beardlife.”

In a recent essay for Graceless, Galaxia, 26, opened up about her decision in the fall of 2017 to stop shaving.

“After 14 years of shaving every single day, avoiding sleepovers as a teen, panicking if I forgot my razor when I went out of town, dreading if I ever ended up in the hospital where I’d be unable to shave, and not allowing my partner to touch my face, I put the razor down,” she wrote.

“Jump forward two and a half months, and here I am, fully bearded, at least two inches of growth. Hair all over my chest, breasts, and stomach. I went from living a daily nightmare to being incredibly in love with my hair in just that short amount of time. I no longer recoil in fear when my partner reaches out to touch my cheek. My confidence has spiked, and with it came some much-needed self-love.”

Since then, Galaxia has been using her YouTube platform to raise awareness and offer support to other women affected by PCOS. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age and can result in hormonal imbalances, acne, weight gain, infertility, and, as with Galaxia, hirsutism.

Those with PCOS-related excessive body hair continue to experience shame and social awkwardness. In a new interview with Metro, Galaxia, who is a cisgender female, said she is often mistaken for a man or trans woman.

“People have accused me of pretending to be a woman, or they think I’m transgender, but I don’t care,” she told the paper. “It’s not an insult to be trans, I’m just not — I’m a gay woman.”

She credited her partner Ash for helping her feel more confident about her bearded look.

“With my hipster beard, I feel happier now than I have ever been,” Galaxia said. “I am with someone I love, who supports my decision and loves me for me and my beard. I have no idea when I am going to stop growing it. It’s a part of me now, and I love it.”
