Here is your chance.

Make sure you know who is in the building before entering.

Three armed gangland “soldiers” suffered a serious defeat at the hands of police when they tried to carry on a blood feud with rivals in a crowded gym.

A court heard that the trio barged into the weights room and punched a member of an opposing gang, before threatening him with a sub-machinegun in front of shocked onlookers.

But the members of Manchester’s Gooch Close gang did not realise uniformed police officers were next door in the leisure centre, giving a talk on the dangers of gun crime.

Make sure it is unlocked.

“The Alma Police Department has a key to it, and when the sirens sound, a police officer comes down here and unlocks the building,” said Alma Superintendent David Woolly.

But that is not what happened Wednesday night.

“You can’t always count on an officer being close by, and they may be five minutes away, and you don’t want that five-minute delay. You want it unlocked when the first person gets here,” Woolly said.

Wednesday night, Heather Barber and her three children were among those locked out, while police were busy tending to a wreck.

“If I knew it wasn’t going to be open, I would have went somewhere else instead of waiting outside in the storm with my children,” Barber said.

Alma officials will be looking into a system that will automatically unlock the storm shelter when the sirens sound, officials said.

Until then, residents will have to wait for someone with a key.

This guy can show you how to do it.

Wilder said he didn’t call 911 because he didn’t think help would arrive in time. So, the 55-year-old says, he got a steak knife from the kitchen and made a small hole in his throat, allowing air to gush in.

Wilder suffered from throat cancer and related breathing problems several years ago. About that time, he had an episode where he couldn’t breath because his air passages swelled shut. He said that’s what happened this time around.

It looks as though this will be your year.

“It has definitely reached a range where consumers will need to think about how to keep things in proportion,” tourism chief Gabriele Weishäupl said, punning in German on the word ‘maß,’ which can mean a litre or a proportion.

In recent months, grain prices have been spiralling, in part because of growing demand for biofuels to help combat climate change but also because strong demand from developing countries and extreme weather.

This is a true tragedy.

It appears as though the food aid to Burmese Cyclone Victims has been halted.

“The frustration caused by what appears to be a paperwork delay is unprecedented in modern humanitarian relief efforts,” said Paul Risley, a spokesman for the U.N. World Food Program in Bangkok. “It’s astonishing.”

He said the WFP submitted 10 visa applications around the world, including six in Bangkok, but none has been approved.

“We strongly urge the government of Myanmar to process these visa applications as quickly as possible, including work over the weekend,” he said.

The junta said in a statement Friday it was grateful to the international community for its assistance — which has included 11 chartered planes loaded with aid supplies — but the best way to help was just to send in material rather than personnel.

One relief flight was sent back after landing in Yangon on Thursday because it carried a search-and-rescue team and media representatives who had not received permission to enter the country, the junta said. It did not give details, but said the plane had flown in from Qatar, apparently referring to a U.N. flight.

The announcement came as critical aid and experts to go with it were poised in neighboring Thailand and elsewhere to rush into Myanmar, one of the world’s poorest nations.

“Believe me the government will not allow outsiders to go into the devastated area. The government only cares about its own stability. They don’t care about the plight of the people,” said Yangon food shop owner Joseph Kyaw, one of many residents angry at the regime for doing little to help them recover from the storm’s destruction.

You are in luck.

Here is what you need to do.

The younger Case said “after the bear pulled him back out and chomped on the back of his head, he thought he was going to die.”

His father wasn’t dead, but he pretended to be while the bear jumped up and down on him several times, then finally wandered off.

In spite of severe gashes on his head and upper arm, bites to his elbow and knee and bleeding profusely, he managed to drive his pickup truck about 25 kilometres out of the bush to a nearby settlement.

“I knew right away he’d been attacked by something,” said Rob Sandford who initially helped Case. “What I could see [he was] basically covered in blood.”

Case was rushed to hospital in Bella Coola and then airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital, where he remained yesterday.

And Captain Caveman tears a journalist a new one to explain the situation in context.

The only question that should be relevant is whether Marvin Harrison has broken a law. You don’t have to approve or disapprove of the Second Amendment to accept that it’s incorporated into American law. If Harrison owns the gun legally, that’s that. Why is a man — a guy who until this point has always gotten credit for being a class act and a quiet team player — now being accused (obliquely) of having the intent to murder police?

It appears as though the Swedish Army, while on peacekeeping missions in Africa, engaged in some hanky panky with the locals.

Thomas Häggström at the International Prosecution Authority said he could not could not comment on the specific allegations.

“Our initial priority will be to establish whether there is a real case at all,” he told The Local.

According to both Swedish law and international military regulations, it is a serious and punishable offence for military staff to procure sexual services.
