Police said the man was found with the chocolates, which included an enormous stash of Twirl bars, after being chased by an officer in Ashton Hurst, Greater Manchester. |
The suspect had been spotted ‘making off’ from a shop in Hollins Road, Oldham, as officers were on their way to their annual Christmas dinner with the local community, Greater Manchester Police said. |
When they detained the man, police also discovered that he was carrying a kitchen knife and was wanted for failing to appear at court. |
Detroit has a proud legacy. Despite the tough times it’s currently going through, the Motor City can stake a claim to legends such as Eminem, J Dilla and the 88-90 and 03-04 NBA Championship winning Detroit Pistons. Furthermore, Detroit has cultivated iconic movements such as Motown and the house/techno scene. Speaking... |

It's a case of so many creative ideas, so little time, according to Kathy Burg, an artist who was putting the finishing touches on her selection of hand-crafted belt buckles and belts at her Natick workshop last week. |
Burg is one of 175 artists from 30 states whose work was accepted into the Paradise City Arts Festival, an art fair that brings together some of America's master craftspeople tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday in Marlborough. |
Known for its range of high-end arts and crafts, and festive atmosphere which includes a cafe and musical entertainment, the show is rated a can't-miss by holiday shoppers. |
"No matter how big or small it is, every exhibitor's work is always rigorously juried and beautifully designed," said Linda Post who founded the show in 1995 in Northampton and expanded to Marlborough three years later. "We have an extraordinary range and depth of work at this show from large-scale paintings to fun and... |
The fair includes 40 new artists juried into the show for the first time. |
The show at the Royal Plaza Trade Center is the first trip to Paradise for Burg, who until three years ago was creating large mosaic and assemblage pieces she sold at local craft shows. |
Burg noticed that big sellers at the shows were jewelry, bags and handcrafted clothing. In a burst of creativity, Burg discovered a way to use the same artistic technique, but transform it into wearable art. |
"I shrunk my medium into a belt buckle, using mosaic and assemblage, and coating them with an epoxy resin," said Burg whose business is called K Dichter Designs. |
Soon Burg had a following for her belt buckles which she creates using semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and rare metal findings, each buckle a mini work of art. |
"I don't know what it's going to look like in advance, I just go," said Burg with a laugh. "I just make it happen right on the belt buckle. I even keep switching things around when they're being glued." |
While the buckles were perfect, Burg wasn't happy with the belts that were available commercially, so she started making her own. Today she buys sides of leather in a range of weights and cuts the belts herself. She oils the leather and does her own embossing or hand-painting on each piece. She also works with exotic s... |
Burg's work is typical of the type of "grass-roots art" showcased at the fair, said Post, by artists who make each piece a unique work of art. |
"You get to talk with the person who actually made them," said Post. "A lot of our artists also do custom orders. Many customers want a piece of furniture for an odd-shaped space, have an inherited gemstone they want put in a contemporary setting or have a hard time finding off-the-rack clothing." |
The interaction with customers is what makes the Paradise City Arts Festival a fun venue for the exhibitors at the show as well. |
"I know I'm having fun when all the people in my booth are mixing and matching buckles and belts, and having a good time," said Burg. "I love to steer them to the right combo. It really makes me happy when they look in the mirror and smile." |
The Marlborough Public Schools Music Association is providing gift-wrapping at the show, with all donations going directly to benefit music education in the schools. |
Paradise City Arts Festival will be held at the Royal Plaza Trade Center, 181 Boston Post Road West (Rte. 20), Marlborough. |
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and students; children under 12 free. A weekend pass is $15. Parking is free. |
Rehabilitation work on Highway 10 through Riding Mountain National Park resumed today. |
Phase 2 of paving from KM 25 to KM 40 will continue until the end of October. |
Starting in September, crews will also be working in the South Gate area, including the installation of a pedestrian crossway. |

Nothing says Hoya Xmas better than an actual personalized ‘Hoyas’ Christmas light. |
For those non-East Coasters, this time might also seem a little strange and unfamiliar. |
Every now and then a Hoya might even break out of the Hilltop bubble to experience D.C.’s Christmas transformation. |
But at the end of the day, the best Instas can be found as soon as you step foot on campus. |
I mean who really can resist the snow Insta? |
Happy holidays Hoyas, and stay tuned for more editions of InstagraMondays! |
Let’s start off with brnstbrz’s impeccable face paint job that has all those easily-scared souls calling for their mummies. |
On the other end of the spectrum, morganlwright’s costume is a mixture of sugar, sweet, and a whole lot of sass. |
Check out _margoyle_’s execution of this spectacular science pun. You’re right, virgfar, it is brilliant. |
Meggs_benedict kept things in the academic realm, channeling her literary side with her rendition of The Scarlet Letter. 104 likes later, she’s definitely caught the attention of 4E. |
No matter their costumes, Hoyas geared up for a weekend of tricks and treats. Legooo is right, eewilcox3! |
We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, Hoyas, and 4E wants to join rachelclau in wishing you all a happy Halloween! |

Watered down homeopathy for computers is more powerful, m'kay? |
Updated Sophos updated its website over the weekend to water down claims that it was protecting the NHS from cyber-attacks following last week's catastrophic WannaCrypt outbreak. |
Proud website boasts that the "NHS is totally protected with Sophos" became "Sophos understands the security needs of the NHS" after the weekend scrub-up. |
Security-watchers, including former staffer Graham Cluley, noticed the reverse ferret. |
Sophos didn't publish a definition update until 1825 BST, hours after an outbreak that forced hospitals to postpone scheduled treatments and appointments in scores of NHS Trusts. Sophos Live Protection functionality, if enabled, could detect WannaCrypt earlier than that. |
Signature updates aren't the only layer of security in modern anti-malware but this only raises further questions about why Sophos's technology didn't pick up an attack based on a known exploit patched by Microsoft two months prior. |
Sophos has been talking a lot about building better anti-ransomware defences over recent weeks, most particularly following the Invincea purchase back in February. Last month the company launched anti-ransomware CryptoGuard technology, a paid add-on to its Sophos Server Protection products. |
El Reg asked Sophos to comment on what seemingly went wrong with its security defences but we're yet to hear back beyond an acknowledgement of our query. |
Sophos's social media staff were tweeting about how its tech could protect against ransomware attacks on Thursday, a day before disaster struck. |
It's all a bit awkward. |
Sophos has contacted us to say that customers using Sophos Intercept X or Exploit Prevention (EXP) "were protected proactively against the ransomware behaviour from the very first instance". |
It added: "Sophos Endpoint Protection already detected some variants of the WannaCry ransomware. We added further detection at 15.58 UTC on Friday 12th May for samples in the new attack that we missed. This was a complex set of executables and exploits which took some time to analyse. We also thoroughly test all identi... |
"Sophos has added subsequent identities and generic detection rules to Sophos Endpoint Protection since then to block potential future variants of the malware and its techniques. We have also proactively contacted all our customers to advise them to deploy the Microsoft patch that mitigates the underlying vulnerability... |
When New South Wales Parliament recessed in November, 2003, in advance of the forthcoming state election, then-premier Bob Carr spotted independent MPs at a farewell supper in the parliamentary dining room. |
The NSW Liberal government has privatised its electricity grid, as it promised at the state election. But were the votes worth it? |
A year ago the NSW government decided to act tough on CSG company Metgasco in order to save Nationals seats at the state election. It didn't go so well. |
Fred Nile has backflipped on his opposition to the privatisation of NSW's electricity grid. As a reward, he has been able to introduce a few batshit crazy measures to the NSW legislature. |

The NSW Electoral Commission dodged a bullet after flaws in its iVote system did not come under greater scrutiny. NGO returning officer Stephen Luntz reports. |
UNITED NATIONS, December 3 -- As the scheduled UN Security Council vote on new sanctions against Eritrea on Monday looms, on Saturday the country's foreign minister Osman Saleh wrote again to Council president Vitaly Churkin of Russia asking for more time. |
Saleh's letter, which Inner City Press received and is putting online here, puts the blame for the rush and denial of due process on the United States. The letter does not mention Gabon, the ostensible sponsor of the sanctions resolution. |
It does not seem that the Council will consider Saleh's letter until Monday morning, the time given at the eleventh hour for Eritrean president Isaias Afwerki to address to the Council. |
The letter says that such intervention would be "a mere formality" -- the resolution is already "in blue" and ready to be voted on. No provision was made by the Council to consult with capitals after hearing from Eritrea's president. |
To some it appears that the initially satisfying compromise -- to here from Isaias Afwerki and then vote -- is akin to allowing a defendant to speak only before sentencing, not during the trial. |
This is a rare and unprecedented case, in which a country faced with Council sanctions has repeatedly asked to be heard, and then asking that the schedule make such a hearing possible and potentially meaningful. Can the Security Council rise to the challenge, despite the insistent pressure of its (by far) most insisten... |

At today's introduction of Facebook video chat, Mark Zuckerberg didn't want to appear too cocky about Google+, the search giant's recently launched competitor. |
I'm not going to say a lot about Google+, we've all only spent a little time on the service....The last five years have been about connecting people, the next five years are about connecting apps. We'll see a lot of companies who haven't looked at social begin to build it into their apps. Not just Google. Netflix is a ... |
This is all Facebook does. "Companies doing one thing will always do better than companies doing a million things." Facebook is and always has been about social networking. Google already has its fingers in a million pies -- search, advertising, online video content, music, mobile phones, and on and on -- and is trying... |
People don't want to manage groups. With Facebook's group feature, "everyone who is in the group knows that everyone else is in the group," said Zuckerberg. Google's equivalent, Circles, lets you put people in particular circles, but they don't know which circles they're in or who else is in them. Plus sometimes you're... |
Group video chat is a corner case. Google+ Hangouts lets users video chat with up to 10 people at once, while Facebook-Skype only allows one-to-one calls. But "the vast majority of chat is 1 to 1 today," said Zuckerberg. This is a little misleading -- Skype charges for group calls while 1 to 1 is free, so of course it'... |
Everybody's on Facebook already. Philip Su, the engineer who worked on Facebook video chat, said it's a one button click to any friend "on the social network that already HAS all your friends." That's definitely not the case with Google+ yet. |

I support freedom of choice, I don't want to own one of those pieces of crap! |
Well bait always works with the left, especially the WAPO. |
I'm glad your not making firearm choices for our Armed Services my family and myself. There is a reason it's been a huge platform for the last 60+ years and still going strong, and being a piece of crap ain't the reason. |
It works and works accurately and reliably. |
Kind of depends on your purpose, it's fine for somethings and crappy for others. Sometimes a shotgun is appropriate, sometimes a pistol, on a very few an AR is the perfect choice. |
Yeaaa no... A shotgun is for ducks and geese, a pistol is used to get to your rifle. |
a pistol is used to get to your rifle. |
You really think that a rifle is a better home defense weapon for Harry homeowner than a pistol or a shotgun? You're going to have to explain the logic of that one to me. |
I was being somewhat sarcastic, but I think they receive a little too much love just for the reasons of being able to accessorize so much. |
I also think the Humvee is a piece of crap, but it doesn't mean it isn't the best solution for a large force with a ton of logistical support behind it, doesn't make it a good choice for the average person needing a vehicle. |
In a house with 30 inch hallways I do not believe it is a good solution for home defense, not a good hunting rifle, that only leaves target shooting. |
If you are shooting out of upstairs windows at an invading force trying to enter your house it would be pretty good. |
An AR10 would be better in that instance. |
Because the world is full of 30" hallways. wtf... Come up with a better strawmen. |
That platform works well in many many platforms. It can go from a 8 1/2" room clearing monster to death from 1,000 yards. |
That why its still around. |
Yes I certainly do, A double in the chest from a 223 / 5.56 and the fight is over, How often do folks get shot with pistol calibers multiple times and are able to still fight, run or get away? |
how many rooms and buildings do you think the Marine Corps cleared in Afghanistan and Iraq? |
Virtually no infantry grunt carries a sidearm. A 16" M4 gets it done, at home and across the big pond. |
Not nearly as often as you seem to think, but for home defense a shotgun is the weapon to use. 99% of the world are not prior marine able to get multiple shots off at an intruder, but a single 12 gauge blast gets a crapload of lead in at a single shot with practically no aiming (also not killing your kid in the next ro... |
