Following the Somerton fire, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service station commander Jim Morrison said: "Without sounding like a killjoy, we would ask people to consider not buying and setting them off because of the dangers.
"Although they look pretty they will often fail and come down early whilst the fuel for the lantern itself is still burning."

Hollywood News Britney Spears | Britney Spears has Debbie Gibson come to her defense
In a recent interview with ‘Spinner’ magazine, Moby commented that Britney Spears isn’t making music but rather “advertising for ringtones.”
Now, Debbie Gibson is defending the current pop princess, states PopEater. “First of all, for any artist to slam any artist, I think is wrong, because art is subjective, you know?” Gibson said about the insult.
She also thinks that Moby just shouldn’t have gone there in the first place: “That’s just somebody taking themselves way too seriously.”

New York Allows Same-Sex Marriage | News World | My 24News
Lawmakers voted late Friday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born.
The marriage bill, whose fate was uncertain until moments before the vote, was approved 33 to 29 in a packed but hushed Senate chamber. Four members of the Republican majority joined all but one Democrat in the Senate in supporting the measure after an intense and emotional campaign aimed at the handful of lawmakers wrestling with a decision that divided their friends, their constituents and sometimes their own homes.
With his position still undeclared, Senator Mark J. Grisanti, a Republican from Buffalo who had sought office promising to oppose same-sex marriage, told his colleagues he had agonized for months before concluding he had been wrong.
“I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.”
Senate approval was the final hurdle for the same-sex marriage legislation, which was approved last week by the Assembly. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the measure at 11:55 p.m., and the law will go into effect in 30 days, meaning that same-sex couples could begin marrying in New York by late July.
Passage of same-sex marriage here followed a daunting run of defeats in other states where voters barred same-sex marriage by legislative action, constitutional amendment or referendum. Just five states currently permit same-sex marriage: Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia.

7.4 magnitude quake in Pacific ocean, Alaska|Major Pacific earthquake |Major Pacific earthquake warning for Alaska
A major earthquake of 7.4 magnitude struck in the Pacific Ocean more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) west of Anchorage on Thursday, prompting a brief tsunami warning for part of the remote Aleutian Islands chain.
A tsunami warning is now in effect which includes the coastal areas of Alaska from Unimak Pass, Alaska (80 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor) to Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles west of Adak)," the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said.
"Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately," warned the WCATWC.
"Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures."
The quake struck more than 1,000 miles west of the major Alaskan city of Anchorage.

True story behind this photo | kissing couple during last week's Vancouver riots
Video footage has emerged showing what really happened to the infamous 'kissing couple' during last week's Vancouver riots.
The couple, identified as Australian Scott Jones, 29, and Canadian-born Alexandra Thomas, became an instant Web hit after Getty photographer Rich Lam snapped a photo of them caught up in a moment of passion as tensions flared between hockey fans.
In the video clip, riot police can be seen hitting the couple with their shields. After the incident, Miss Thomas appears distressed and lies on the ground as she is comforted by her concerned boyfriend.
Speaking with NBC’s ‘Today’ show, bartender Mr Jones said: “I was just trying to calm her down. It was pretty scary for her, and it seemed like the best thing to do.”
“I would call myself a tourist. It was Game 7, Stanley Cup finals, so something was going to happen whether we won or lost — something big. I just wanted to bear witness to what was going on. I never felt in danger while we were down there until the riot police came along.”
Environmental engineering graduate Alex added: “It happened so fast. I never expected it to turn into that situation so quickly.”

Europe and Asia Property market emerges from recession | global property market recover from recession
Global property investors have piled back into the sector in 2011, plunging cash into the emerging markets of Asia, stoking worries of overheating, and have chased core assets in key U.S. and European cities, causing demand to outstrip supply.

Global Real Estate and Infrastructure Summit industry leaders will discuss the chief stumbling blocks facing the commercial property sectors of Europe, United States and Asia, and how it affects their investment decisions.
Property investors are uneasy about the global funding gap, which consultancy DTZ said totaled about $202 billion, while a slew of insurers, pension funds and private equity houses have entered the debt market, replacing the hitherto dominant banks.
