French Police Find Bomb Material In Parking Lot
[Ynet] Authorities continue large-scale operation to crack down on hard boyz launched in wake of anti-Semite assaults

French police who broke up a suspected terrorist cell have discovered bomb-making material in an enclosed parking lot in suburban Gay Paree, the state prosecutor said Wednesday.

Francois Molins said police Sherlocks recovered items including potassium, sulfur, saltpeter and a pressure cooker as well as two weapons in the lot in the town of Torcy, east of Gay Paree.

They were led there by information from interrogations carried out since the arrest of a dozen suspects in cities across La Belle France at the weekend, he said, adding that authorities are extending the detention of the suspects for 24 hours beyond the normal limit of 96 hours because of the seriousness of the case.

"We can say that we are clearly and objectively facing an extremely dangerous terrorist cell," Molins said. He added that it was only the second time since 2006 that the law allowing the extension of custody in such circumstances had been invoked.

The weekend arrests - during which one suspect was killed by police who returned fire after he shot at them - were put in motion by evidence gathered following the Molotov cocktailing of a kosher grocery story in suburban Gay Paree in September.

Police found weapons, cash and a list of Gay Paree-area Israeli associations during the raids.
It remains uncertain whether those suspected of directly carrying out the grocery store attack have actually been apprehended.

Molins said at the time that all the set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
suspects were French and recent converts to Islam. Four of the men involved in the raid had written wills. One was carrying a loaded gun when set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock

Swedish lunchlady told to stop serving fresh bread and veggie buffets, unfair to kids
A talented head cook at a school in central Sweden has been told to stop baking fresh bread and to cut back on her wide-ranging veggie buffets because it was unfair that students at other schools didn't have access to the unusually tasty offerings.
I would like to point out that this menu is halal as well.
Annika Eriksson, a lunch lady at a school in Falun, was told that her cooking is just too good.

Pupils at the school have become accustomed to feasting on newly baked bread and an assortment of 15 vegetables at lunchtime, but now the good times are over.

The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food - and that is "unfair".
Socialism. Is there any solution it can't make a problem of?
Moreover, the food on offer at the school doesn't comply with the directives of a local healthy diet scheme which was initiated in 2011, according to the municipality.

"A menu has been developed... It is about making a collective effort on quality, to improve school meals overall and to try and ensure everyone does the same," Katarina Lindberg, head of the unit responsible for the school diet scheme, told the local Falukuriren newspaper.

However, Lindberg was not aware of Eriksson's extraordinary culinary efforts and how the decision to force her to cut back had prompted outrage among students and parents.

"It has been claimed that we have been spoiled and that it's about time we do as everyone else," Eriksson said.

She insisted, however, that her creative cooking has not added to the municipality's expenses.

"I have not had any complaints," she told the paper.

Eriksson added that she sees it as her job to ensure that the pupils are offered several alternatives at meal times.
You will not be individual, you will not do anything special, you will be a cog in the machine.
The food on offer does not always suit all pupils, she explained, and therefore she makes sure there are plenty of vegetables to choose from as well as proteins in the form of chicken, shrimp, or beef patties.

From now on, the school's vegetable buffet will be halved in size and Eriksson's handmade loafs will be replaced with store-bought bread.
Excellent job, socialism. A good day's work.
Her traditional Easter and Christmas smörgåsbords may also be under threat.
Christian holidays celebrated with Swedish culture, I'm surprised she hasn't been fired before now.
Parents and pupils alike find the municipality's orders distasteful.

#1  Yokay, I'll bite, IIUC she is being ordered or told to stop because her food = cooking is TOO GOOD/DELICIOUS FOR THE KIDDIES???

IIUC again, inversely the Swedish Govt is demanding that their country's kiddies be served AT BEST "FAIR", NOT GOOD OR ABOVE AVERAGE OR OUTSTANDING, FOODSTUFFS???

HHHMMMM, HMMMMM, and yet their country somehow still produces the Swedish Bikini Babes.

#3  As in any socialist (or union) society, one is to be dragged down to the lowest worker's quality and productivity level.

#5  This sort of behavior is demoralizing for the ordinary soldiers and citizens who are trying to lead normal, simple, unexceptional lives. I think things are difficult enough as it is without these emotional people rocking the boat.
