Peels and Funyun road trip visit to Jade

OREM — An Orem man was arrested Friday after a police dog sniffed out his snack.

An officer pulled over the 32-year-old man when he failed to stop at an intersection where the lights were out due to a blown transformer, police said.

Orem Police Cpl. Trent Colledge responded with police dog Rudy, who zeroed in on a bag of Funyuns in the car. Inside were a few balloons of heroin and a bindle of methamphetamine, police said.

Colledge, who has worked with Rudy for almost two years, said the handlers of the department's four Belgian Malinois are constantly training to keep the drug-sniffing dogs' skills sharp.

Drug dealers try an array of substances to try to hide the scent of the narcotics — axle grease has been a popular choice recently, especially with large amounts of heroin and methamphetamine — but their strategy doesn't succeed. "It never does," Colledge said.

He said the officers get newly certified each year and specifically train the dogs to find drugs hidden in food, even in their own dog food.

"When (people) walk into a pizza place, we just smell pizza," Colledge said. "(The dogs) can smell the bread and the sauce and each individual ingredient."

On the job, "they smell everything, and they're able to differentiate between what's narcotics and what's not," he said.

Orem police say the dogs have taken more than $250,000 in illicit drugs off the city's streets in the past seven years.

In this case, Colledge said he believes the man stashed the drugs in the bag as he was pulled over. Police said they also found a meth pipe between the front seats of the car.

The man was booked into the Utah County Jail.

World's hottest pepper is 'hot enough to strip paint'
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20101203/sc_yblog_thelookout/worlds-hottest-pepper-is-hot-enough-to-strip-paint



Fiery food mavens seeking to one-up each other now have to gear up for a whole new test of culinary bravado: the world's hottest chili pepper.

Yes, the Naga Viper, the latest claimant to the world's-hottest-pepper crown, outdistances its predecessor, the Bhut Jolokia, or  "ghost chili," by more than 300,000 points on the famous Scoville scale of tongue-scorching chili hotness. Researchers at Warwick University testing the Naga Viper found that it measures 1,359,000 on the Scoville scale, which rates heat by tracking the presence of a chemical compound. In comparison, most varieties of jalapeño peppers measure in the 2,500 to 5,000 range -- milder than the Naga Viper by a factor of 270.

You might think the Naga Viper would hail from some part of the world with a strong demand for spicy food, such as India or Mexico. But the new pepper is actually the handiwork of Gerald Fowler, a British chili farmer and pub owner, who crossed three of the hottest peppers known to man -- including the Bhut Jolokia -- to create his Frankenstein-monster chili.

"It's painful to eat," Fowler told the Daily Mail. "It's hot enough to strip paint." Indeed, the Daily Mail reports that defense researchers are already investigating the pepper's potential uses as a weapon.

But Fowler -- who makes customers sign a waiver declaring that they're of sound mind and body before trying a Naga Viper-based curry -- insists that consuming the fiery chili does the body good.

"It numbs your tongue, then burns all the way down," he told the paper. "It can last an hour, and you just don't want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it's a marvelous endorphin rush. It makes you feel great."

A member of the Clifton Chili Club -- a group of Brits who travel around sampling chilis -- decided to try one of Fowler's Naga Vipers on camera. You can watch his less-than-pleasurable experience here.

It was a typical day in the life of 18-year-old Art Taylor of Massachusetts until reds and blues lit up behind him while attempting to change lanes without signaling.

The teen pulled his vehicle over without a problem, but when officer Brandolini approached and asked for his License and Registration, Taylor refused.

"He made a quick movement to the center console, and there was small baggie with a white powder in it," Brandolini said. "He immediately made a movement to put it in his mouth," at which point another officer stepped in and attempted to stop him from consuming what they expected was cocaine.

The struggle quickly turned aggressive, at which point the officers pulled Taylor from the vehicle and cuffed him... but not before the teen had consumed the entire bag of "white powder".

Art Taylor was arrested and charged with assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, refusing to give police his license and registration and was also cited for not using a turn signal — a drug possession charge however was never filed.

Moral of the story? Always eat your drugs, because if nothing else, at least you'll have an awesome time in jail.

WikiLeaks FTW

The potential for getting US citizens and/or US military personel, or allies getting hurt due to the ramfications of these leaks is never FTW.  Secrets are secrets for a reason, not just to annoy inqusitive internet junkies.

This information was stolen by a Traitor to this country.  Supporting Wikileaks is like supporting douche bags doing the same in the future.  Hopefully they can stem the supply of this information, but I for one won't support the demand either by visiting that site.

In the "open government" we have... In my opinion there's TOO many "secrets".  Maybe if a lot of these people would listen to what their moms said.. "If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all"

I got into wikileaks about a year ago  reading stuff on them blowing the whistle on some toxic dumping that was going on in panama. They took it and dumped it in and around a little villages dumps.. was somethin like 50,000 people reported health problems, and no one figured out why. Wikileaks took over and released docs on it. Not all their stuff is related to "big brother government" Just the stuff they've posted as of late.


The government had to have known something like this would have to happen eventually right? They can't be so naive to think this wouldn't ever happen to them. Maybe it'll help restructure who knows what, who has access to this/that.

You ever see a movie where the bad guys figure out where the only possible source of leaked info came from?  Like when a baddy says..."I only told one person about that", or "Only these people were in the room when that was discussed"?

....What happens to those people?

We may not be simply talking about a security leak Randy. 

[Krandall]

Ooh, just witnessed that in a movie... See the movie "Enemy at the Gates"
