(Daily Mail By RACHEL QUIGLEY) — Domino’s promise their pizzas will be ready and at your door in 30 minutes or less.
But one New York entrepreneur found a way to deliver pizza to your hand in just 90 seconds - by creating a pizza vending machine.
The automated pizzeria delivers freshly baked hot pizzas at the touch of a few buttons, and not only that, but you can watch it be cooked right in front of your very eyes - just like a real pizzeria but without the chef.
A Walmart shopper has successfully sued the retail giant after she was charged two cents more than the listed price for a pack of sausages.
Mary Bach, who has made a habit of taking Walmart to court, was angered when the chain’s store in Delmont, Pennsylvania made her pay $1 for a box of Banquet ‘Brown ‘N Serve’ sausages, which had been priced at 98 cents.
(Daily Mail By LAURIE WHITWELL) — Walmart argued new packaging caused a mix-up on the price, but Ms Bach, a consumer activist from Murrysville, claimed the overcharge was intentional.
Murrysville District Judge Charles Conway agreed with her and ruled the store breached trade laws. He awarded Ms Bach $100 in damages, plus $80 in court costs, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
‘This is the fifth lawsuit that I have now won against this store, this Delmont Walmart, for the same problem: practice of putting up a shelf tag that was lower than the price charged at the cash register,’ Ms Bach told WPXI outside court.
‘All this is for the scanner charge to correlate with the shelf tag or vice versa. I’m not telling them what price to charge for the item they’re selling.’
Ms Bach said she hopes her court case will ensure the error does not happen to any other costumers, no matter how small.
She said the Walmart should be more careful in guaranteeing that prices listed on shelves match what prices scan at the register, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
‘Walmart was wrong. They were overcharging customers. Even though it was a minimal amount, they were wrong,’ she told WPXI.
Ms Bach testified that on August 20 she picked up the sausages, which had a listed price of 98 cents, but was charged $1 when she reached the check-out.
‘The clerk did everything right when I pointed out the error and refunded me the difference and noted the error,’ Ms Bach said.
However, six days later, she went back to the store to purchase more of the same sausages when the same thing happened, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
This time Ms Bach was not interested in a refund and she took the store to court.
Walmart attorney Timothy J. Nieman argued that Ms Bach, who has a reported 17-year history of legal battles over pricing faults, was not really shopping for groceries, but was looking for her next lawsuit.
‘Never once have I been questioned by a cashier whether an item I’m purchasing is for my personal use or not,’ Ms Bach said. ‘Everything I buy is for my personal use.’
Ms Bach told the court her husband and grandchildren enjoy the sausages on a regular basis.
Walmart spokesman Greg Rossiter told WPXI the company tried to refund the money to Ms Bach, but she refused. He said Walmart respectfully disagrees with the decision, and is considering its options.
Denmark has introduced what’s believed to be the world’s first fat food tax, applying a surcharge to foods with more than 2.3 percent saturated fats, in an effort to combat obesity and heart disease.
Danes hoarded food before the tax went into effect Saturday, emptying grocery store shelves. Some butter lovers may even resort to stocking up during trips abroad.
(ABC News By Olivia Katrandjian) — The new tax of 16 kroner ($2.90) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of saturated fat in a product will be levied on foods like butter, milk, cheese, pizza, oils and meat.
“Higher fees on sugar, fat and tobacco is an important step on the way toward a higher average life expectancy in Denmark,” health minister Jakob Axel Nielsen said when he introduced the idea in 2009, according to The Associated Press, because “saturated fats can cause cardiovascular disease and cancer.”
But some Danes are not happy about the ‘big brother’ feeling that comes with the tax.
“Denmark finds every sort of way to increase our taxes,” said Alisa Clausen, a South Jutland resident. “Why should the government decide how much fat we eat? They also want to increase the tobacco price very significantly. In theory this is good — it makes unhealthy items expensive so that we do not consume as much or any and that way the health system doesn’t use a lot of money on patients who become sick from overuse of fat and tobacco. However, these taxes take on a big brother feeling. We should not be punished by taxes on items the government decides we should not use.”
The Nordic country isn’t known for having a grossly overweight population — only about 10 percent of Danes are considered obese, compared to about one-third of adults (33.8 percent) and approximately 17 percent (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents age 2—19 years in the United States, according to a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
But perhaps Denmark has its obesity rate relatively under control because of its policies. In 2004, Denmark made it illegal for any food to have more than 2 percent trans fats. In July 2010, the country increased taxes on ice cream, chocolate and sweets by 25 percent. At the same time, Denmark increased taxes on soft drinks, tobacco and alcohol products, beyond the minimum levels established by the EU.
“Denmark will not only increase general health amongst the population but will also ease the burden on the public health care system and increase its resources at a time of recession when Member States are cutting public expenditure,” Monika Kosinska, the secretary general of the European Public Health Alliance, said in 2010.
Kosinska said the tax increases should be complemented by measures to make nutritious food more affordable.
“We get the taxes, but never a reduction on anything to complement the increases, such as on healthy foods,” said Clausen.
Is Obama abandoning his bid for a second term in the White House and is giving Colonel Sanders a run for his money by opening a chain of fried chicken joints?
Now that’s change you can’t really believe in.
Posted to WIDK by Emily Moore
(Mike O’Brien, Daily Mail) — But in Beijing, China, a restaurant is actually calling itself OFC with a logo that looks alarmingly like the President dressed in the colonel’s clothes.
The catchphrase underneath, apparently says ‘We’re so cool, aren’t we?’
The Obama Fried Chicken could be a response to the U.S. filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization about Chinese tariffs on American chicken exports.
According to the New York Times, the tariffs affect an industry that employs about 300,000 people and range from 50 to 100 per cent, which means some Chinese importers paid as much as twice the price for American chicken.
Maybe the Chinese have something of an Obama-chicken obsession.
Earlier this year in Hong Kong, an Obama lookalike was employed to advertize KFC.
The restaurant’s sign was first spotted by TheShanghaiist.com and picked up by msnbc.com.
There are, of course, New York versions that caused quite a stir.
There is one in Harlem and one in Brooklyn.
Some people have complained the name plays into old racial stereotypes.
A 37-year-old woman charged with having sex with a 13-year-old boy was taken to jail Friday after a prosecutor reported she violated terms of her bail by contacting the boy.
Cleveland County prosecutors say Amy Blose, of Norman, hid a note to the boy inside a burrito and had another teenager take it to him.
Posted to WIDK by Emily Moore
NORMAN (Jane Glenn Cannon, News OK) — Blose had been free on $20,000 bail stemming from her arrest in April on charges of rape, sodomy and other felonies. She is accused in court of having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy.
Special Judge Michael Tupper revoked the bail following a hearing in which a 15-year-old girl described slipping the boy a note from Blose.
The girl, a student at Norman High School, said Blose gave her a ride to school recently, but before dropping her off at the school, Blose took her to a Sonic Drive-in. The girl said Blose wrote a note to the 13-year-old boy, hid it inside a burrito and asked her to deliver it to the boy.
According to the girl’s testimony, the note said, “Hey, babe, I’ll love you forever.”
Assistant District Attorney Christy Miller said Blose was free on bail on the condition that she not contact the alleged victim or have contact with children other than her own.
After hearing testimony Friday, Tupper ordered Blose held without bail pending a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. Nov. 11.
Defense attorney Charles Douglas argued that allegations against Blose were not corroborated and that she should remain free on bail.
Uproar Over Bake Sale Satire - Where The Prices Are Based On Your Race (WIDK)
Posted to WIDK by Emily Moore
(Daily Mail) — An ‘Increase Diversity’ bake sale planned by a group of students is being branded racist because the prices are based on the buyer’s gender and race.
The fury over the sale in California, however, is exactly what the organizers, the Berkeley College Republicans, wanted.
Campus Republican president Shawn Lewis said the bake sale was organized to protest SB 185.
That is a bill currently being considered by Gov. Jerry Brown, which would authorize California public universities to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national/geographic origin in the admissions process.
A Facebook page set up for Tuesday’s event said: ‘The Berkeley College Republicans firmly believe measuring any admit’s merit based on race is intrinsically racist.
‘Our bake sale will be at the same time and location of a phone bank which will be making calls to urge Gov. Brown to sign the bill.
‘The pricing structure of the baked goods is meant to be satirical, while urging students to think more critically about the implications of this policy.’
At the sale, white men will be charged $2 for a baked good, Asians will pay $1.50, Latinos $1, African-Americans 75 cents and 25 cents for Native Americans. All women will get a 25 cent discount.
ABC News reports that according to the original event page, the pricing structure was put in place ‘to ensure the fairest distribution, and make sure that there are a diverse population of races of students getting BCR’s delicious baked goods.’
The original event page, which has been taken down, said: ‘Hope to see you all there! If you don’t come, you’re a racist!’
Mr Lewis told the KGO-TV station in San Francisco: ‘The pricing structure is there to bring attention, to cause people to get a little upset.
‘But it’s really there to cause people to think more critically about what this kind of policy would do in university admissions.’
‘It certainly is stirring emotions, and that’s what we want,’ Lewis added.
‘But we certainly don’t want people to think that we’re making fun of racial issues or laughing at them because that’s not the message of the bake sale.’
Campus Democrats president Anais LaVoie said: ‘The way they made the statement, the words that they used, the fact that they humourized and mocked the struggles of people of color on this campus is very disgusting to me.’
The Toddler Who Is Addicted To Eating Everything - Even Bricks And Lightbulbs (WIDK)
Posted to WIDK by Emily Moore
(Claire Bloomfield, Daily Mail) — A young girl is so addicted to eating harmful objects that she ate an entire lightbulb.
Natalie Hayhurst, 3, is at constant risk of poisoning herself because of a rare condition which gives her cravings for inedible objects.
In February she nearly died after eating a lightbulb that she tore from a bedroom night-light.
While her favourite delicacies are rocks and sticks, Natalie has been known to wolf down almost a whole brick, ‘like it was a chocolate chip cookie’.
Her mother Colleen, 31, says every day is a constant battle of wills as she tries to stop her daughter eating something that could kill her.
Colleen said: ‘She doesn’t try to eat glass so much since it hurt her, but she will try and eat rocks and sticks she finds in the garden.
‘I have had to call this poison helpline so many times that it’s on my speed dial. You name it Natty’s tried to eat it.
‘Once when Natty took a bite out of a house plant at my mothers house and again when she ate a brick.
‘She can eat a brick like a normal person would eat a chocolate chip cookie.
‘She knows these things are bad for her, me and my husband David have discussed how harmful it is with her.
‘But the cravings are too much for a three year old to handle. She will actively seek out this stuff even though she knows not to.’
Natalie has Pica, a condition characterised by an appetite for non-nutritive substances.
Colleen, of Terre Haute, Indiana, revealed the moment her daughter’s disease nearly killed her.
‘I had put Natty to bed and I was in the kitchen doing the washing up,’ she said.
‘Suddenly she walked in and held up a small piece of wire. Her mouth was bleeding and instantly I knew what had happened.
‘Natty had eaten an entire lightbulb - everything but the wire. I was terrified, all I could think of was that glass inside her body and what it was going to do.
‘We rushed to a walk in medical centre where they were very concerned about what had happened.
‘The doctor sent us to St Vincent Children’s Hospital to have her treated.
When we got there they raced her into theatre to have the glass removed.
‘I was so scared, my husband was at home with my son so I was totally alone.
‘Natty was my first child to have an operation and I was so worried that something would happen to her.
‘But she was OK. She stayed overnight and we were home the following evening.
‘I don’t dare think what could have happened if we’d left her. She could have died.’
Since the accident Natalie is watched around the clock by Colleen, David and brother Andrew, 5.
Colleen, an office manager, said: ‘Some days are better than others.
‘On good days she’ll only try to eat something dangerous once. But on bad days she’ll go for things constantly.
‘I always know when she has something because she’ll turn her back to me.
‘We are all very aware of it now and Andrew is a big help, even though he is only five.
‘My big worry is that one day she’ll eat something poisonous and we won’t be there in time.
‘My husband is wonderful but he has never had to be as vigilant as me because I’m always there.
‘I’m scared that one day I won’t be there. I’m not sure how to deal with it, I never heard of it before Natty was born.’
Day Ruiner - Blogger Lives Off Wife’s Breast Milk (WIDK)
Posted to WIDK by Bianca Coombs
(Katherine Bindley, The Huffington Post) - People will blog about almost anything these days.
Case in point: A man is attempting to live off of his wife’s breast milk and posting his daily experiences on a blog called, “Don’t Have A Cow, Man.”
A father protesting the dairy industry, perhaps? Or one trying to cure his cancer by supplementing his diet with breast milk like this guy did?
Not so much. Curtis’s wife, Katie, just has an ample supply: she pumped every two hours following three pregnancies and premature babies who were in the neonatal care unit. She has since managed to fill up a freezer — seven cubic feet deep mind you — that the couple purchased specifically for her excess milk.
The two claim that they had trouble donating the milk due to the costs associated with doing so, and on top of that, Curtis says it helps his digestive issues.
Feeling annoyed yet? You’re not the only one.
“Please donate the milk!! Seriously. You have no idea how many women you are offending and infuriating with this crazy scheme!!” writes one respondent on the couple’s blog.
The outrage could stem from a variety of factors. For starters, despite (or maybe because of) the couple denying it, this experiment is going to sound to some like a gimmick to get attention and a subsequent book deal (The couple specifically say on their website that they are not doing this for attention.)
That five-minutes-of-fame issue aside, what about breast milk being in high demand both at home and abroad — it can sell for around $4 an ounce. In addition to all the mothers whose supplies run out or who can’t breastfeed for medical reasons, there are orphaned children in Africa whose mothers have died of AIDS. Several organizations are dedicated to providing them with milk.
Last May, Wired reported about the booming internet market for breast milk. One woman estimated she could make $20,000 a year selling her milk.
Curtis and Katie say they tried to find needy recipients for the milk, but that each one fell through. One woman wanted the couple to pay shipping costs, another wanted a medical test done that insurance wouldn’t cover. The couple also argued that milk banks would not accept their donation. They pointed out that donating couples don’t get a cut of the profits.
Now, women are practically begging them for the milk on their own site.
“I want that milk! Where are you located!?!?! (I have a four month old son who survives on donor milk)” wrote one woman on the couple’s blog. Another, an adoptive mother, offered to drive to their house from Texas and pick it up herself.
So are there any medical benefits to Curtis living off the milk that might redeem the experiment? It seems unlikely.
“Biologically, just because something is good for babies does not mean it is good for adults,” said Dr. Tonse Raju, a pediatrician and a neonatologist with the National Institutes of Health, who pointed out that all mammals wean from their mothers eventually. Calves eventually move on to grass, he said, and after six months, human babies need to start eating solid foods.
Raju pointed out that breast milk may be calorically sufficient if an adult drinks enough of it, but it would still be deficient in several nutrients like protein and fiber. A chronic lack of either can cause a host of health problems, including harm to the liver, kidneys and an increased risk of intestinal cancer.
“Human milk has evolved to support the baby’s needs during the years of the baby’s growth. When you begin to grow bigger, you have different needs,” said Raju.

Hired Hit Man Falls in Love with his Victim - Then Fakes Her Death with KETCHUP (WIDK)
Submitted to WIDK by tellmelize.tumblr.com
(Daily Mail By TOM WORDEN) — A hired killer fell in love with his victim then faked her death with the help of some tomato ketchup.
Hitman Carlos Roberto de Jesus, from Brazil, was paid $500 to murder Iranildes Aguiar Araujo.
He was contracted by housewife Maria Nilza Simoes, who was convinced Iranildes was having an affair with her husband.
But when de Jesus saw his intended victim he fell head over heels in love with her and confessed the plot.
The pair then conjured up a plan to fool his employer into believing he had carried out the hit.
The new lovers bought two bottles of ketchup from a local supermarket.
De Jesus then got his supposed victim to rip her shirt and grip a machete under her armpit.
He then taped her mouth up, tied her hands, smothered her with ketchup and got her to lie still on the floor as if she were dead.
The ex-convict photographed Araujo and sent the picture to the ‘cheated’ wife saying he had killed her.
Araujo said: ‘I tore my shirt, put the knife by my side here, then he tied me up and smothered me with ketchup.’
But the ruse was discovered three days later when Simoes saw the hired assassin kissing the very woman he was meant to have bumped off.
She then went to the police to complain he had stolen 1000 dollars from her.
Detectives were amazed when de Jesus told the full story in a confession.
The murder was supposed to take place last July in the small town of Pidonbacu, in the state of Bahia, in eastern Brazil.
The three suspects were grilled by police chief Marconi Lima before being released on bail.
The hitman and his ‘victim”’ face extortion charges and the woman who hired him charges of making threats to kill.
Sheriff Lima said: ‘In eight years of policing I’ve never heard anything like it.’
While a local shopkeeper remarked: ‘Could Maria not see that the knife was in the woman’s armpit?’

Dumber and Dumber – Homeowner Catches Burglar FRYING BACON for BREAKFAST (WIDK)
UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police in the St. Louis suburb of University City say a suspect in a string of burglaries was caught after a homeowner reported finding him frying bacon in her kitchen.
Kenya Ealy says she returned home after an errand and found 36-year-old Damon Petty of St. Louis cooking breakfast.
Ealy says the suspect initially tried to keep her out of the house by trying to hold the front door shut. But Ealy and a friend managed to tackle and subdue the man and call police.
Petty is charged with first-degree burglary. Police are scrutinizing him in connection with other home burglaries.
Petty does not have a listed home telephone number. It’s not immediately clear if he has an attorney.
Taco Bell Forgets Hot Sauce at Drive-Thru – Man Returns with SHOTGUN (WIDK)
SEPTEMBER 21 (The Smoking Gun) — Angered that his Taco Bell drive-thru order failed to include hot sauce, a Missouri man returned to the fast food restaurant and allegedly pulled a shotgun on an employee, who fled in fear from the takeout window.
The bizarre incident Saturday evening resulted in the arrest of Jeremy Combs, a 30-year-old convicted felon, on both state and federal charges. Combs is pictured in the below mug shot.
According to a U.S. District Court complaint, investigators with the Lee’s Summit Police Department interviewed Combs Sunday afternoon about the incident. Combs admitted that he had purchased several items from Taco Bell, only to return home to discover “the Taco Bell employee had failed to include his…hot sauce.”
While Combs told cops that he “became upset and drove back to the Taco Bell to confront the employee,” he denied brandishing a shotgun at the drive-thru worker. He said the item was actually a tire iron, a claim police say is belied by Taco Bell surveillance footage showing Combs in his Ford F-150 truck.
During a subsequent search of Combs’s residence, police discovered a Mossberg shotgun with live rounds of ammunition affixed to its side (the weapon was hidden under the mattress in Combs’s bedroom). In a conversation Monday with a Lee’s Summit detective, Combs reportedly copped to possessing the shotgun at Taco Bell, adding that he bought the weapon—which did not have a serial number—“from ‘Mark’ at a drug house in Independence, Missouri.”
The incarcerated Combs is scheduled for a detention hearing tomorrow in federal court in Kansas City. According to the criminal complaint, Combs’s rap sheet includes 14 felony arrests and three felony convictions.
Supermarket Showdown - The BEST BACON On The Shelves (WIDK)
Posted to WIDK by Emily Moore
(Bon Appetit) — We have embarked on a taste test tour of supermarket foods. We nibble (or sip), we score, and we share the results to help you avoid the paralysis of Brand Choice Overload.
Today’s topic: bacon.
Carnivores, rejoice. This edition of Supermarket Standoff puts front and center the meat that claims unabashed adoration from food writers, chefs, and dudes ‘round the world. Bacon has inspired large-scale festivals, questionable hygiene products, and now an international holiday. People love bacon.
A lot of it is produced in the U.S.—more than 2 billion pounds each year—which became quite clear when we were researching for this taste test. We whittled down the large volume of brands by choosing classic hickory- or applewood-smoked versions. We included both cured and uncured bacon; the latter is rising in popularity due to health-conscious baconnoisseurs. (Not-so-fun-but-at-least-educational-fact: the term “uncured” is a little misleading, since it’s meant to indicate that the bacon is free of pork-preserving sodium nitrite. But uncured bacon generally uses celery juice, which releases natural sodium nitrate and nitrite anyway.)
Some of our tasters prefer their bacon crispy and charred, while others wanted it chewy and ham-like. Whichever camp you’re in, you can be guided by both our top picks and nutritionist Marissa Lippert’s favorites.

Nutritionist Marissa Lippert’s Picks
Some comments from Lippert: “The bottom line: bacon is bacon. We all know it’s not the best for us in terms of fat and calorie content, but it’s pretty darn delectable and just a small amount can add incredible flavor and depth to a dish. So indulge on occasion when you’re really craving it.
I sifted through our options by focusing on ingredients, as usual; we’re really aiming for pork, water, salt and spices—no other funny stuff necessary to cure good ol’ bacon. Then I further sifted by honing in on sodium content. Bacon can be quite salty! Those brands with less salt came to the top of my list.
Be aware of how much salt is sneaking its way into your diet for disease prevention and to keep blood pressure at bay. Some sodium is essential for our bodies, but the daily recommendation is less than 2,300 mg. That’s equivalent to about 1 teaspoon of table salt, or less than 1,500 mg if you’re 51 and older.”
#1 Niman Ranch Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon

Ingredients: Pork prepared with water, salt, turbinado sugar, celery power. Gluten-free.
Cost: $6.99 at Whole Foods in New York City.
Our assessment: Shocking! Niman Ranch, an overall great company, turned up dead last for flavor in this competition.
#2 Nature’s Rancher Uncured Hickory Smoked Bacon
Nutrition: One serving (2 pan fried slices/15g) = 70 calories, 6g total fat, 2g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 10mg cholesterol, 140mg sodium, 0g total carbs, 3g protein.
Ingredients: Pork, water, brown sugar, sea salt, celery juice powder, lactic acid starter culture.
Cost: $5.99 at Whole Foods in New York City.
Our assessment: Hooray! We ranked this numero uno for flavor.

Ingredients: Pork, water, sea salt, less than 20% of celery powder and evaporated cane syrup. Gluten and casein free.
Cost: $5.99 at Whole Foods in New York City.
Our assessment: This ranked smack in the middle for us; some thought it was “OK” others said it had an “almost like beef jerky textured when chewed” and other were more direct: “Ew”.
