Bunny lady
Quote:
PORTLAND, Ore. – Washington County's "Bunny Lady" is back in the hutch after violating a court order banning her from owning animals for five years. Miriam Sakewitz, 47, was arrested Tuesday at a hotel in the Portland suburb of Tigard after an employee reported finding rabbits hopping around in her room.

Problems for Sakewitz started in October 2006 when police in Hillsboro, about 15 miles west of Portland, found and confiscated nearly 250 rabbits in her home, including about 100 dead ones in freezers and refrigerators.

Police said she broke into the facility where the survivors were being cared for in January 2007 and stole most of them back. Authorities found her a few days later in Chehalis, Wash., with eight live rabbits and two dead ones in her car. Another 130 rabbits were recovered at a nearby horse farm.

Sakewitz was sentenced in April 2007 to five years probation and was banned from owning or controlling animals. She also was told not to go within 100 yards of a rabbit.

That summer, Sakewitz was ordered to spend three days in jail for violating her probation by keeping a rabbit in her house. County probation officer Susan Ranger also said Sakewitz had canceled counseling sessions and refused to open the door for unannounced visits. Ranger said she found no rabbits when she finally got inside but did find a half-empty 10-pound bag of carrots.

A staff member of Federal Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella has resigned over his behaviour at last night's Press Gallery Ball.

According to witnesses, Tony Scrinis, who had been working in Ms Mirabella's office for three days, approached a number of women and tried, or asked, to touch their breasts.

Ms Mirabella said the staffer admitted that "some of his behaviour was inappropriate but he doesn't accept the allegations."

Ms Mirabella is the Opposition spokeswoman for childcare, youth and the status of women.

Anyway - Woman skinned puppy to make belt
Quote:
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) - A 23-year-old woman is accused of getting friend to kill her Jack Russell terrier and skinning the puppy to make a belt out of its hide.

Krystal Lynn Lewis and Austin Michael Mullins, 26, were being held Friday in the Muskogee County jail on $25,000 bail each. They were charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals.

"We're talking about a 6- or 7-week-old defenseless puppy," said sheriff's deputy George Roberson. "That's pretty heinous and sadistic."

A Muskogee County judge ordered a mental competency hearing for both defendants.

Lewis wanted the puppy, named Poplin, killed because it was a gift from a female ex-lover with whom she doesn't get along, said Muskogee County sheriff's deputy George Roberson.

Roberson said Mullins shot the terrier 10 times with a .22-caliber pistol. Lewis skinned the animal at her apartment and nailed the hide to a board.
I'd like to nail her and her friends stupid ass to a board. Sheesh!

What's the big deal? I wear leather shoes, etc. I know they are made from dead animal. Are we just not supposed to think about it? Are only certain animals acceptable? Is it that they should be processed at a proper factory? What exactly is supposed to be wrong with this, that isn't already wrong a million times every day?

Shawnee123 06-19-2009 05:35 PM
He shot it ten times? A six or seven week puppy? Wouldn't there be a lot of holes in that hide? Would there be any hide left?

Remember, they were making a belt. So, they shot the belt-holes into it before stretching. Simple.

The whole reason I got my dog (Autumn) is because of this - well, not cows but horses. Autumn is a JRT and she was on a horse farm for a year. She was completely oblivious to the horses - would run right in front of them, etc. The owners were afraid she'd be killed so I got her...I have to keep her in a fenced in yard or on a leash because she's the same way with cars and SHE WON'T COME WHEN I CALL HER!!! Her nose rules her life.

Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard says an alleged sex scandal involving male Navy personnel could discourage people from joining the armed forces.

The Defence Department is investigating claims Australian sailors from HMAS Success engaged in a sex-for-money competition.

Channel Seven News last night aired claims that the seamen ran a contest to see who could sleep with the most female crew members.

Ms Gillard has told Channel Ten today that she wants a full investigation so women do not feel excluded from serving their country.

"As a nation ... we've been saying for a long period of time we want men and women to be able to join the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and to have good careers in it," she said.

"We don't want to see anything that precludes women from having a good career in our armed forces if that's what they choose to do with their lives.

"Clearly these allegations need to be fully investigated."

The sailors reportedly dared one another to have sex in numerous locations, like the top of a pool table, and more money was on offer if a sailor could sleep with a female officer or lesbian.

It is alleged the contest was discovered when the ship was in Singapore in May.

The captain ordered the sailors to immediately return home to Australia after they were formally interviewed.

A Defence Department spokesman would not confirm how many sailors were involved but says the men were removed from the ship and a formal inquiry is underway.

And this will hurt recruitment, how?

BrianR 07-06-2009 08:43 AM
they are afraid WOMEN will not join the Navy for fear of being forced to have sex with male sailors, or perhaps that's too strong. Perhaps I should say they may not join if they don't feel safe from harassment by male colleagues in a place from which they will have a difficult time escaping. A ship at sea is a pretty small world.

They're worried that men won't join because if they become officers their arses will be under-valued.

A New Zealand teenager tried to sell some sexy photographs of his mother on an internet auction site after the pair had an argument, a local newspaper reports.

The 18-year-old student opened an auction for "five naked photos of my Mum" on the Trade Me site after being told to clear the family garage and sell any unwanted items on the site, the Herald on Sunday said.

Trade Me pulled the auction the next day, but the student, identified only as Michael, was soon back trying to sell a series of eight-year-old "glamour" shots of his mother, including one of her in underwear.

His mother Jennifer, 44, who did not want the family name published, told the paper she was "pretty annoyed" when she found out about the first set of photographs.

"He was quite naughty... I thought you cheeky little git," she said.

But she was also annoyed that Trade Me withdrew the second set of pictures, of which she approved.

"I insisted Michael show me first, the little bugger. They are quite artistic. There is nothing dodgy about them."

"I wanted 50 per cent of the sale, but more than that I miss the nice comments."

Trade Me spokesman Jon Macdonald said both auctions were withdrawn because of "inappropriate" photos.

"We don't really want to be the place where people list photos of their mums in their underwear," he said.

Man Dies After Falling Into Tank of Chocolate
Augustus Glump style

Quote:
A Camden man died after he fell into a vat of melted chocolate at a factory Wednesday morning.

Vincent Smith II, 29, was standing on a nine-foot-high platform loading chunks of raw chocolate into a melting tank at Cocoa Services in Camden, N.J. when he fell in around 10:30 a.m., according to Camden County D.A. spokesman Jason Laughlin.

After falling, Smith was struck in the head by an agitator -- a large paddle-like mixing device – and killed.

Coworkers acted quickly to try and save Smith. They turned off the machine but were unable to pull the injured man from the eight-foot vat. He was eventually removed from the machine by firefighters.

"I tried as hard as I could," said a distraught friend and co-worker. The man asked not to be identified, but was visibly shaken by the accident.

Smith was a temporary worker who was with the company for the past few weeks, said Laughlin. He had just moved back to the city more than a month ago to find work.

"He was a good, hard-working person and it was a tragic loss that happened," the unidentified friend said.

Cocoa Services rented the facility on the 700 block of N. 36th Street in Camden from Lyons & Sons, Inc. The company mixes and melts raw chocolate for use by food and candy manufacturers such as Hershey Foods. The plant was quickly shut down for the day following the accident.

Smith's father and aunt rushed to the facility only to find out that he had died. "They say he didn't make it," confessed Smith's teary-eyed aunt Teresa Smith.

The family stood at the facility's gate late Wednesday afternoon, waiting to talk to Cocoa Services management. They want to know what exactly transpired and if the accident could have been prevented with a safety harness.

"That's all it would have taken was just some sort of a safety harness…to prevent him from falling in," said the aunt.

OSHA is opening an investigation to see if there were any safety violations at the plant.

Not just any manhole.

Quote:
crews were flushing a high-pressure sewer line at the time.

"It was four or five feet, it was very painful. I kind of crawled out and the DEP guys came running and helped me," Longueria told the Staten Island Advance.
This is exactly why saturation coverage with CCTV is so important. When shit like that happens, I want to be able to watch it. Over and over again. :lol2:


Mind you, I think the family have a partial case in the lawsuit:

Quote:
Sewer line workers are supposed to cut off pedestrian access to work sites or at least mark them with warning signs.
Which implies that they hadn't, and furthermore

Quote:
For its part, the Department of Environmental Protection said its workers had turned away briefly to grab some cones when the incident occurred.
I would have thought, safety barriers first, hole in the ground second. Unless they meant "grab :joint: some :rasta: cones :bong: ..."

Crimson Ghost 07-13-2009 11:49 PM
I saw this on the local news.

She had just been handed a phone and was about to text, when she went on "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride".

Yeah, the DEP should have put cones around the area first, but if she can't pay attention to where she's walking, then I say "thin the gene pool".

The manhole (calling Sheldon...) is in the middle of the sidewalk, but if you can't pay attention, oh well.

Shawnee123 07-14-2009 10:55 AM
I'm not surprised, I see people trying to walk and text all the time, every day, by the hundreds.

Great lesson for the kid: if you're stupid, blame someone else and try to get some money out of it. Behold the next generation of entitlement mentality.

I saw a short blurb in New Scientist about an app for your phone that uses the camera to capture where you are walking and displaying to you on the screen so you can keep an eye on it while texting. I don't know if it helps with oncoming buses, though.

Someone texting and walking carelessly in my vicinity is liable to receive a gentle bump on their elbow from my bag.

Funny. We have a 3 person Sea-doo Jet Ski. Goes about 70mph. To fast for me on the water. Anyway we got this notice yesterday and I found it kind of funny. They updated their safety video.

" This updated version reflects the most recent safety information available to BRP in relation to the use of its SEA-DOO personal watercrafts. Among other subjects, it emphasizes on what riders must wear to protect themselves against what has been known as "the water skier hazard", i.e. forceful water entry into the lower body opening(s) of males or females."

WTF?

Dustin Britton, a 32-year-old mechanic and ex-Marine from Windsor, Colo., said he was alone cutting firewood about 100 feet from his campsite in the Shoshone National Forest when he saw the 100-pound lion staring at him from some bushes.
There is your explanation. I always thought a chainsaw would be your best bet against a bear or lion.

The wounded animal retreated after Britton inflicted a six- to eight-inch gash on the lion's shoulder, leaving him with only a small puncture wound on his forearm.

"You would think if you hit an animal with a chain saw it would dig right in," he said. "I might as well have hit it with a hockey stick."
This is surprising, to me. I guess he hit the lion with a glancing blow on the shoulder, rather that a straight shot to soft tissue. :confused:
