This crazy and funny police chase happened in Orange County, California. On the 241 highway.
And best of all, it was woman driving :D
LOS ANGELES - A driver tried to ram a Long Beach car, prompting an hour-long, high-speed chase Friday in which the woman drove the car in circles, went the wrong way on a tollway and even got out of the car to gesture at officers, authorities said.
The woman was arrested after about a 40-mile pursuit and could face charges of reckless driving, California Highway Patrol Officer Gabe Montoya said. Her name was not immediately known.
No injuries were reported, but the woman endangered motorists on four freeways, CHP officers said.
The chase began when Long Beach officers went to an intersection shortly after 6 a.m. in response to a report of a woman screaming. A car tried to ram their police cruiser three times and then fled, Long Beach police Officer Jackie Bezart said.
After an eight-minute chase through Long Beach, the driver got onto a freeway and the CHP was notified. Officers chased the silver Scion into Orange County at speeds that sometimes topped 100 mph, authorities said. Television news helicopters carried the chase live.
On the SR 241 tollway in Rancho Santa Margarita, the woman made "doughnuts" while driving on both shoulders of the road, briefly drove the wrong way then got out of the car and gestured with both hands at officers before returning to the slowly rolling vehicle and driving off.
A short time later a patrol car rammed the back of the Scion, spinning it around and knocking an attempt to stop it, but the driver managed to flee again.
The car finally was stopped at the end of the tollway in an unincorporated area near Rancho Santa Margarita.
After being bumped a second time, the Scion was boxed in and swarmed by officers, including one who jumped onto the roof. The woman was pulled through the car's window, forced to the ground and handcuffed.
Sagada couldn’t get more mystifying without the elements of the mummies. When you go to Sagada caves in Philippines there are hanging coffins to be found on the cliffs made of limestone.
About six hours by bus (twice this amount of time in the wet season) from the Luzon island town of Banaue, north of Manila, the people of Sagada have devised a unique burial ritual involving the placement of dead relatives into caves after carefully preparing a hollowed out log.
These coffins are carved by the elderly before they die; if they are too ill or weak their son or other close relative will do it for them. This ritual involves pushing the bodies into the tight spaces of the coffins, and often bones are cracked and broken as the process is completed. After the deceased are put inside these coffins they are then brought to caves high in the cliffs where they join the coffins of other ancestors. The Segada people prefer to be buried in the cliffs than to be buried in the ground and have been doing this for more than 2,000 years.
In some caves hundreds of coffins are lined up, and unfortunately tourists are unregulated in this area, some have even taken some of the bones as souvenirs. If you do visit these caves, make sure you get a guide as some of the caves are hard to find and the roads can be tricky to navigate.
Russian scientists turned their favorite drink into a powder. Vodka can now be taken as pill or sprinkled onto dessert.
Yevgeny Moskalev from St. Petersburg invented a technique that allows the conversion of alcohol into a powdery substance. The good news is that new technology allows the conversion of any kind of alcohol into powder - not only vodka. Yevgeny, who is a professor at the University of St. Petersburg, reveals that they stumbled upon this discovery while performing other tasks for the Soviet government.
- We were working on creating powdery adhesive when one of us was asked to invent a technique for storing of substances in the form of small capsules. We created this technique, but the client never paid us. We thought about giving it up when a fortunate accident saved us. Another company asked us to put a water and medicine into pills because they were trying to create a medicine for the animals. Animals do not like the smell of drugs and in the form of capsules they could easily be placed in their food. With this discovery, we were able to convert any solution into powder – Moskalev revealed for the Russian media. This technique was tested on a 96-percent poison and eventually was patented. Moskalev also used it to conserve droplets of ethanol into capsules.
Pills can help you ‘dose’ your intoxication levels
Technique consists of adding alcohol into dissolved wax and mixing it together. After it gets dispersed, the wax solidifies and preserves the alcohol molecules. Somewhere along the way, somebody came up with the idea that they could try this process with some vodka.
‘Solid’ vodka would become popular for two reasons only - it would be easier to carry it and because it cannot be broken. In fact, ‘dry’ vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in your pocket or bag. Besides that, vodka in the form of pills can help consumers determine their preferred ‘dose’ of intoxication.
Sprinkle the vodka onto dessert
- Unfortunately, because of the way in which vodka is preserved, it currently tastes like a candle. However, this could be solved by adding different flavors to the wax. To be honest, I did not like vodka in the form of pills; I prefer eating it mixed with dessert.
However, I must emphasize that the result is weak, even after three spoonfuls, so I would conclude that vodka is best when consumed in the good old way - said the scientist. However, in spite of his personal preference, powder vodka should certainly be beneficial for bakers who must use certain alcoholic beverages in making the sweets.
Most of these carving are made on old books and some carving made on magazines which has high-quality paper and vivid color. First is even made on 8 brand new books. Anyway amazing art!
