CA Man Shoots Stripper, Then Kills Himself Inside Strip Club

A man walked into a Rialto, California strip club and shot an exotic dancer before killing himself, reports KNBC.com.

The incident took place at the Spearmint Rhino strip club. The man, who was in his 40′s, asked the dancer, in her 20′s, to go into a private room with him and was rejected. That’s when he pulled out the gun, shot the dancer in the face before turning the gun on himself.

According to a friend of the dancer, the man had been a fan of hers, going to the strip club daily to watch her perform. CBS Local reports that he allegedly brought up all the money had spent on her in the last year before pulling out the gun and shooting her in the face.

There were reportedly approximately 20 people in the room when the shooting occurred. According to police, the Spearmint Rhino does not check for weapons before entry.

Solar Impulse, Sun-Powered Plane, Completes Test Flight Above San Francisco Bay Area

A solar-powered plane that has wowed aviation fans in Europe took to the skies Friday over the San Francisco Bay area in a successful test flight.

Considered the world’s most advanced sun-powered plane, the Solar Impulse took off from Moffett Field in Mountain View at first light for a two-hour practice run in advance of a planned multi-city, cross-country tour.

“That’s a mythical step in aviation,” André Borschberg, one of the plane’s pilots and creators, said about flying cross-country. “We are something like between 1915 and 1920, compared to traditional aviation, when pioneers tried these non-stop flights.”

He said a flight around the world could occur in two years.

The Solar Impulse is powered by about 12,000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries, allowing it to fly day and night without jet fuel. It has the wing span of a commercial airplane but the weight of the average family car, making it vulnerable to bad weather.

Its creators say the Solar Impulse is designed to showcase the potential of solar power and will never replace fuel-powered commercial flights. The delicate, single-seat plane cruises around 40 mph and can’t fly through clouds.

Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard, Solar Impulse co-founder and chairman, said the plane should be ready for the cross-country journey on May 1, depending on the weather.

“We like nice weather. We like sunny days,” Borschberg said.

Stops are planned in Phoenix, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and New York. Each flight leg will take 20 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in each city.

Between Dallas and Washington, the plane will also stop at one of three other cities – Atlanta, Nashville or St. Louis.

Borschberg said the plane’s creators are close to being able to launch the non-stop flights needed to go around the world.

Using solar power, “we are close to the notion of perpetual flight,” he said.

Fashion Designer Gets Married In Dress Made From 100,000 Bread Tags

Australian fashion designer Stephanie Wilson married her high-school sweetheart in a unique dress made from 100,000 plastic bread tags she had collected over the last 10 years.

Stephanie Wilson and Will Wapling met and became friends while attending Belmont High School in Geelong. After completing Year 12, the two became a couple and moved in together. Stephanie remembers there was a pile of bread tags on the window sill of their home which they kept adding to. She and Will used to joke that when there were enough tags to make a wedding dress they would get married. It may have been a joke to them, but as soon as people found out about their plan they started collecting bread tags and giving them to the lovebirds.

At one point, they were getting so many that Stephanie had to get bigger jars to store them in. Then, 10 years later, they realized their idea wasn’t so crazy after all, and decided to go through with it. Having dozens of jars full of plastic tags sitting in their home, Stephanie and Will were sure they had enough bread tags to make the dress. It turned out they were wrong, but luckily the groom-to-be had a baker cousin who came to the rescue with rolls of fresh tags.

Making the dress was easier than Stephanie anticipated, as the sewing machine had no trouble piercing through the tags and stitching them to the cotton base, but actually designing the gown took her hundreds of hours. ”The main thing in the designing of the dress was that I didn’t want people to be able to tell the tags were stitched on. I wanted them all overlapping, so you couldn’t see the stitching,” Ms Watson told the Geelong Advertiser. But in the end the dress came out just perfect. Made from 100,000 bread tags stamped with “best-by dates”, the dress was a record of the many years Stephanie and Will had been together, which made it even more special. It weighed just seven kilograms and best of all, and despite costing just $36, it had priceless sentimental value.

“I just didn’t want to have a normal bridal gown,” the 29-year-old fashion designer said. ”There are so many occasions where you can wear a beautiful feminine dress in your life. For a really special day I thought, why not have something completely outlandish?”
