LITCHFIELD >> Despite indications in December that a settlement was near in the civil action by the town of Bethlehem against the Monroe man charged with 62 counts of cruelty to animals for the alleged living conditions of dogs in a Litchfield County barn, the case resumed Thursday with the accused, Frederick Acker, taking the stand—and no talk of a settlement.
The case involving Bethlehem's filing of an injunction seeking control of the dogs' future, reimbursement of costs for their care, and an order preventing Acker from caring for dogs in a shelter environment, stretched over the course of Thursday in Bantam Superior Court, and is scheduled to resume Friday morning.
Acker, who operates the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA, which is not affiliated with ASPCA), was questioned by his attorney, Alice McQuaid, and also by Bethlehem town attorney Anthony DiPentima.
DiPentima asked about fees the SPCA charges those who adopt dogs—the Bethlehem barn on property Acker does not own was functioning as a shelter—and about expenses and the salaries Acker and his employees earn for their SPCA activity.
Acker, 62, of 359 of Spring Hill Road in Monroe, also faces the criminal charges in connection with the alleged living conditions of the dogs that were being kept at a partially finished barn off Route 63 (Watertown Road) in Bethlehem.
In the criminal case, he is charged with failing to provide adequate food, water and shelter for 62 dogs, according to the arrest warrant. State Police and animal control officers confiscated the dogs after more than one visit to the site by the animal control officer for Bethlehem and Woodbury.
During questioning Thursday, Acker told attorneys he has been in the animal rescue business for 14 years, and that prior to that he ran an investment firm.
As previously reported in The Litchfield County Times, Acker said he was in the process of upgrading the heat and insulation in the barn, but that October's Superstorm Sandy and a subsequent snowstorm delayed the process.
"[The] barn was a work in progress," said Acker.
According to Acker, since the dogs were seized in November, insulation was completed in center of the building where animals would be housed, concrete floors with drains were completed, electrical work was done and an industrial heater was put in place. Continued...
However, there is still no certificate of occupancy for the organization to house these animals. The building inspector is expected to inspect the barn Friday, testimony revealed.
Bethlehem Animal Control Officer Judy Umstead had the dogs confiscated in November and taken to a local veterinary clinic based on what she observed during her visits, according to the affidavit of arrest.
Umstead has said the temperature was 31 degrees in the barn on the day of the raid, which was after a written warning had been issued to Acker during an earlier visit when she measured the temperature of 28 degrees.
In testimony Thursday, Acker told the court that his organization provides extensive veterinary care and takes animals that have serious issues.
Veterinary costs are in excess of $100,000, Acker said. The organization has four employees that have not been paid in the six weeks since the animals were seized from the property, and Acker said he pays his employees $9 to $13 an hour.
"The ones that work for me, work for me because they love animals," said Acker.
Most of those who adopt dogs are homeowners with good jobs and he is highly selective in the adoption process, Acker said in court. Those interested in adopting an animal from the shelter typically fill out an application, and can do so online for an application fee of $20; there is no fee if an interested party comes to the location.
Acker said his organization survives primarily on donations and adoption fees.
"We have to raise every dollar," he said.
Elaborating on the costs involved in adopting a dog, he said it could range from $1 to $395—and that $395 is the standard charge for an animal to receive full veterinary care before being placed. Continued...
"We want to rehab and re-home animals," said Acker.
Acker was questioned about his assets as well. SPCA, he said, owns a property on Huntington Avenue in Waterbury but does not occupy it because the city doesn't recognize the organization's 501c3 nonprofit status. The issue has been in court litigation for several years, he said.
Cross examination continued with the discussion of Acker's salary. He said he takes home $250 a week.
Acker moved SPCA to Bethlehem from Monroe because of capacity, he said. In Monroe, the organization was only allowed 29 dogs. There is currently zoning litigation in Monroe involving Acker's organization.
Acker told DiPentima during questioning that he felt Umstead was not qualified to serve as an animal control officer.
"I have placed 9,100 animals successfully, she has only been on the job since January," said Acker. "I don't trust Umstead."
"At 9,100 dogs at $395 that's a lot of money," said DiPentima.
In 2011, SPCA received $85,000 in contributions, and there was was $95,471 generated in fees in 2011, testimony showed.
The total cost for the veterinarian used by the organization was $57,000. Acker said he pays the vet in increments of $1,000.
DiPentima said that in 2011 Acker told the IRS he earned $13,000 a year. This is a salary he has had since 2008. Continued...
"SPCA is generating a fair amount of fees," said DiPentima.
McQuaid asked Acker during testimony whether adoptions have been declined since the seizure of the animals.
"Adoptions are way down. Our donations are down substantially," said Acker.
Meteorologist Art Horn, a former employee of NBC 30 who currently teaches at Tunxis Community College, was called to testify and explain the use of a temperature gun by Umstead. Acker has claimed previously that Umstead was not correctly measuring the temperature at the barn.
"It just reads the surface," Horn told attorneys. "It cannot read through glass surfaces."
The testimony continued with Horn talking about the weather on the day of the seizure and how he makes a clear determination of temperatures and weather conditions.
The last to testify in the court proceedings Thursday was Umstead.
Umstead stood behind her testimony and temperature readings and said, "Cold is cold."
Umstead was questioned about the costs of veterinary services since the dogs were seized and brought to various locations throughout Connecticut.
"It was our decision at that time to get them in the best facility; it's a constant change," said Umstead.
Once court proceedings are completed, the judge will have four months to issue a decision.
On Friday, four or five more witnesses are expected to testify for the defendant, and proceedings could end tomorrow.
Acker's criminal case proceedings, meanwhile, will continue on Jan. 23.

Wall Blocking
Like (0)
there is a thing that people do when you steal there kill or something like that an what they do is wait for u to get in a corner an then they stand in front of you so you cant move an then your stuck there till they die or you die its stupid an the only way for you to fix it is to make us able to walk through your team an only your team it happened to me at least 5 times yesterday an has happened alot before. please fix this problem alot of my friends are getting annoyed too.
No, you should not be able to walk through your teammates in these games. That is even worse then thinking that this game needs tanks in it like somone else posted. Or thinking that snipers should have an auto hold break function like another tool posted.
Just do not get in a corner and you do not have to worry about it. Stop trying to camp in corners. For that is why they blocked you, for being a corner camper not because you stole their kill.
yea what happens when you spawn in a corner ey or what about when your pinned down by a few enemies an need time to heal or reload or what about when you using a killstreak like a reaper/AC130/ pred/etc. maybe your not good enough to get the kills to make people angry.
You still should not be camping or hiding in a corner for any reason. Hide in a corner and get found and blocked it is your fault not the games.
I see so using the map to your advantage to ambush enimies or to regain a bit of health is bad(or at least thats what i get from this post).
You do not need to go to a corner to regain health, just drop prone behind something. There is plent of things on a map to not require a person to need hide in a corner to regen health or reload or anything else in the game.
Corner camping to ambush a player is a slightly different thing, but if that is all you do all the game and someone decided to block you.. well stop camping the corner all the time then. Hug a wall, camp behind a car or truck. Some place you can not be trapped.
Asking that the game allow you to walk through teammates is a backwards step in game design and just dumb really.
how would it be backward?, it would stop the weird glitchy running at the start of rounds, stop teammates from blocking each other, and it would also be useful when a teammate is halfway in a door way but isn't competely blocking it off but due to clipping i can't pass through (like how high the prone clipping box is.)
maybe tighter clipping boxes (maybe polygons instead of boxes). that would be a forward step in game design.
pass through walking is a backwards step in game design because that is what games allowed in side scrollers. This is not a side scroller so you should not be allowed to pass through your teammate for any reason. The only time it is an issue is if there is a map wiht a room that only has one exit/entrance. But in MW3 there are very few if any of those.
So it gotta be a sidescroller to have that? I dont think this game should have it either but that is stupid thinking right there
I really want to be able to check your theatre and see if you never go to a single corner in your entirety of games. should be humourous
Yep been in corners before, but never where I can be trapped. Plus I do not stay in them long enough to be trapped. I dun use them for ksr though, no need too, or to regain health. I have camped corners before yes, for short time periods. And no I never have been trapped in them because I do not stay in them the entire match or long enough to ever get trapped for any reason. Plus should anyone ever try to trap my, I will suicide myself and not give a damn since I normaly run support streaks. So no fear about deaths for me.
I know what you're saying, trialstar. I've only been corner trapped a couple of times in all. Usually I have to deal with some tard running around dry-knifing me because I stole his kill or just being stupid. And even that doesn't happen much. I get around too much for teammates to keep up. Those that do usually get picked off because they just have to double check an area I already scanned and I'm already about to finish crossing.
As far as the suicide idea, I've done that in other CODs but havent felt the need in this one yet. I did the shooting my non-silenced gun in the area to create a red dot recently and it was hilarious how it worked out.
I don't get too tight into corners because doing so makes it hard to call in certain KSRs and if you call in a care package, you chance the damm thing getting caught on a roof or out of reach somewhere.
Not really on topic, but I don't get the "stole my kill" thing with MW3. Using HL Pro, you're more than welcome to finish off a kill I left laying around. Two of them count as a kill toward my streak. Get 200 assists using HL pro and there's an achievement bonus that's a bunch of points. Easy XP for people wanting to rank up.
Play Hard Core. Enough said.

Because you can just shoot your teammate to get him out of the way, right?
You do realize that the ricochette in HC modes causes the bullet to do a magical 180 degree u-turn ... and that you are in your own bullet's path after that u-turn ... right?

You do realize that you'd in essence kill yourself and be out of that corner right? Please don't come off as condescending without thinking about the topic at hand.
The person is complaining about not being able to move or get out of a corner because of another teammate. Do you REALLY think that person's going to cry over a death? I'd rather get myself killed and go on about my merry way, than sit behind some idiot who's clearly exploiting a 'game flaw'?
I personally will temporarily block people in a corner when they are sitting there and have been sitting there for most if not all of the game. If you're camping in a corner in any game mode, especially if it's something objective based you really should not be in the lobby. There are many people that would enjoy legitimately playing and supporting the team. You provide no real support to the team when you only sit in a corner. There's a difference between corner camping and patrolling an area, if all you're doing is waiting in some low traffic area to get kills that you don't deserve then I'm all for people corner trapping you. Also, the only way you'll spawn in corners is if you're placing a tactical insertion in one, so just move it so it's not in one.
Menace, your 100% right its absolute crap that teammates can block you in a corner and there is nothing you can go about it! I am far from a camper and actually dispise them, but when using killstreaks (like every other player) will at times use corners as protection. Is walking through teammates the fix? No they should just make it so you cant be blocked! Trialstardragon - your an idiot!
You are an idiot to assume that they should not prevent clipping in this game. You should not ever be allowed to walk through a teammate even if blocked. Stay out of the corner. there is no reason to even go to them when using a ksr. There are plenty of other things in ever map to duck behind for cover while you use the ksr.
If you go hide in a corner and get blocked it is your fault for going to the corner and hiding. Never go anywhere that you may get blocked plain and simple. Do not expect the devs to give you some magic escape from it like clipping through a wall or teammate to be able to get away.
your a wanker i am 100% that sometimes you have to go in the corner or die an what about when there is two people trying to wall block you. you dont even need to be in a corner you can be against a flat wall an they get on each side an your ****** i think you dont want them to fix it is because then you cant wall block people i bet your one of em
Your a wanker for needing to hide in a corner when using a ksr or to ambush players. And 9-10 they can not block you on a flat wall unless your just stupid and let them both get in the right spot to do that. Again your fault for not moving when they started to come near you, not the games fault at all.
Oh and yes I will block people in corners especially in hardcore when I find them. Or I will stand there and fire my gun in their general direction to let the enemy know where they are.
The only game mode where it is strategically advantageous to go to a corner is Team Defender and you have the flag and are using a riot shield.
your a dickhead hope you get banned for life tosser. wall blocking is another form of cheating so **** you cheating ****** get a life an learn how to play the game its not made to **** with your team your ment to back your team up not get them killed you **** face its about the team winning not getting your team killed get a life an learn how to play the game your the worst player ever. suport your team wanker your a real great team player NOT no one on the world would want to be on your team thats just a fact everyone hates wallblocking dumb ***** that got nothing better to do so **** YOU
You are a fool and a tool, it is not cheating at all. So grow up kid and realize this is just a game to me and nothing more. So I do not give a damn if you like what I do or not. So all your swearing was of little use, it had not affect on me other then to get a huge and hearty laugh out of you being such a fool for taking the game way to serious.
>wall blocking
IMO ... yes ... worthy of a report? Meh. Not really.
I think most of the people that do it are just having a bad night or are kids that think its funny.
wall blocking is not cheating and never has been in the game series. Or else people would get banned or reset for doing it and it has not ever happened.
I block kids in corners all the time. It's funny! I kill myself and use dead man's hand, a lot. That's funny too! I used to kill everyone with an RPG at the start of HC Search and Destroy but they made me stop.
how about not stealing peoples kills?? just a idea!!.
if someone shoots at me ill shoot back who cares if someone is allready shooting him id much rather steal someones kill than die if there shooting me i have all the right in the world to shoot back
Gotta agree with Menace1944.
Use HL Pro and then this ...

this game used to be team basedd now its just for the kills! no fun in that -.-
thats right ey it isnt about whos on top in kills its about the team winning but no one else thinks like that there all stupid
theres also the advent of in game trolling now. i was playing s n d with the clan on resistance 3 of the other team were being corner blocked in the garage/ lock up by enemy no4 i got the easiest quad ever and you shouldve heard the other team rage in between rounds. ive no doubt thats found its way onto youtube now
Trialstar ...
I gotta disagree with you on this one. "Corner" camping is too often a misused, wrongly used term to describe what someone is doing.
You know, there's something to be said for teammates - teammates, mind you, who have a better feel for how much you're moving around a map than the other team does - accuse you of camping ....
... then when the match is over you get the "Most Traveled" accolade.
There's a lot of reasons I may duck off into a crevice or corner. If you want to stay out in the open, solely out of principle, to call in kill streaks ... that's your opinion. For me, its an easy kill.
I'm not knocking you, I'm just saying I'm not going to stay out in the open and get killed while calling in a kill streak or reloading or getting a fresh read on the map because someone thinks doing so is camping.
You know what's really annoying ... no, I gotta admit, I kind of find one thing people with this corner blocking do is pretty pathetic. Playing Domination, I'm shaking my head because every time my team caps a point, they run to cap another one and leave the first one unprotected. Next thing I know, we've capped another point ... but we lost the one we just capped previously.
So if I see this happening a lot, I'll stop rushing and start moving between two of the points. I won't try to cap either of them until I feel confident the opposing team is not paying attention. I do this because my team is running all over the place and not holding any point nor are they controlling any area of the map. In fact, they are getting steam rolled in kills.
Then along comes Mr. I'm3leet teammate pyssed off that I'm not helping rush the opposing team.
Me - "Come on, man. Hop outta the way."
Teammate - "FU man. You're camping and messing us up!"
Me - "No, I'm trying to hold down at least one point and actually could use some help."
Teammate - "No you're not! You haven't capped anything in three minutes!"
Me - "Right. And every point you've captured has gone right back to the other team immediately. Why are you trying to cap more points when you can't even hold the first point?"
Teammate - "FU camper!"
Me - (aiming into the air and emptying all my ammo as I become a bright red dot on the other team's mini-maps)
Teammate - (as he goes down in flames) Why did you do that?! You effing tard! You got me killed!
Me - I needed your gun.
Another reason I'll duck behind a corner - and this probably the # 1 or # 2 reason I duck into corners - is because I've run out of ammo but I've managed to convince an opponent to come after me. Usually the very first corner I round I immediately put my back against ... two seconds later, there he goes ... running as fast as he can cuz ... he gownna git me ... huh huh hehehe. Not. Knife to the back. "Oh, that's BS!"
There's a lot of reasons to duck off into a corner. Just because someone is in a corner, that does not mean they are "camping."
There may be a few vaild reason to duck in to a corner but none that would leave you long enough to get trapped. As towards using ksr, I have no problems using them in the open and not dieing when doing so. To regain health? There are plenty of places on every map you can duck behind and not need to go to a corner to regain health. There is only a few ksr in the game that would need you to hide somehwhere to use them. And even then there are plenty of places on each map to hide with out the need of a corner.
I am not a true team player I am a lone wolf when by myself. I do not care if other team mates do not like how I am playing at that point because I do not know them, nor care what they think. when I play with friends I somtimes play lone wolf, other times as support and they know this and accept it.
thanks nuttin2say this dragon *** DONT KNOW ANYTHING by the sounds of it he never played COD before or tryed to get a M.O.A.B because there is about 1000 diffarent valid NON CAMPING reasons to be in a corner. AN DRAGON HOW COULD I BE A CAMPER I DESPISE THEM I HAVENT PRESTEGED 13 TIMES IN THIS GAME BY CAMPING
There are only 10 prestiges in MW3, unless your saying you went to 10th and started over again. And no there is not over a 1000 valid reason to be in a corner in this game and never was.
And no I do not try for the moab because I think it is stupid and never should have been added to the game, just like the nuke was stupid in mw2. I have been playing CoD since WaW, MW, MW2, BO and now MW3. So yes I have played this game series before quite a bit.
In BO I went to 15/50 just for the hell of it, not because it was hard or required any skill to do; but because it was easy to do. Prestigeing means nothing to me, for they mean nothing at all other then some playercards or emblems.. which are useless as far as I am concerned.
well how about infected all the **** r ******* camping ***** . you dont know ****
Which is why every game mode has TK's in them to counter that now.
My my arent we argumentative today?
I dont even remember what you guys were originally arguing about
whats tks
Stealing someones kill so they block you in a corner? my god theres some mardy children around. If i want to hide in a corner and camp/shoot i will, i dont really give a monkeys ass what people think of my tacticts. One idiot stood in front of me trapping me in a corner stabbing me so i used a non silenced gun to attract an enemy who arrived, shot him dead and then i shot the enemy and carried on lol
Wait, some1 in our fine, upsatnding COD community would act like a child and block you in a corner or doorway?
Say it aint so.
BTW, this has been happening since COD4.
Id report them and send a PM to bancandy explaining exactly what happened as it probly wouldnt be easy to figure out by looking at elite numbers.
Its not exploiting or cheating, so its not a bannable offense.
YES YOU CAN GET BANNED FOR WALL BLOCKING YOU ARE STUPID CALL OF DUTY WASNT MADE FOR SELFISH ***** . WALL BLOCKING IS EXPLOITING THE GAMES FLAWS . ITS STUPID TO THINK YOU CAN DO IT AND GET AWAY WITH IT. AND THANKS SalemInChains FOR THE ADVICE ABOUT BANCANDY

So I had to write an interpretation of a photograph. I wrote about Mary Ellen Mark's photo above. Any thoughts?
I chose to write about the image, "Amanda and Her Cousin Amy" by the photographer Mary Ellen Mark. I remember a couple of years ago I was sitting in a book store and happened across Mary's book titled, Exposure, when I opened it, this was the first image I came to. I can recall myself sitting and staring at this image for almost a half an hour, trying to process what I was looking at. I ended up buying the book, just for this one image so I could take it home and dissect it some more. I hadn't really looked much at the book since then and now a couple years have past; I want to try to really break down why this image stuck me so much.
In the instant the viewer looks at the image one can notice that something is a bit abnormal about these two little girls in a child's swimming pool. The girl in the foreground seems to be no older then the age of 9 or 10, but the viewer can get a sense that she is not a normal 9 or 10 year old. The girl has heavy eyeliner and make-up on for starters, but I think the most eye-catching aspect is most defiantly the fact that this underage girl is smoking a cigarette so nonchalantly. She has her right arm crossed under her left elbow, propping up her arm, with the smokeable in her hand, while exhaling a big puff of smoke. The viewer gets the feeling of this girl is taking her normal, everyday, "smoke break" from being a kid, just like an adult would from a job. The girl in the background, to me, seems to be the most out of place thing about this image simply because she is "too normal" but yet, really speaks volumes about the image. She appears to be a slightly chubby, all American girl, playing with her friend on a summer day.
Mark took this image for a series for Life magazine, documenting a special school for children with problems, as she described it. She recalls that Amanda, the girl smoking, was her favorite child and was only 9 years old at the time the image was taken. She tells that Amanda is very smart but she was also very naughty. She would always take her smoke breaks every 45 minutes to an hour while out playing with her cousin. She also explains the Amanda was very controlling over her mother. She would bark orders, steal her mother's make-up, and would smoke openly in front of her mother, while the mother would never say anything to discipline the girl. Amanda pretty much was the boss of her home.
I think the most interesting thing about this image is that, had these not been American children, I don't think the impact, to me, would have been as great, as laws in other countries are different then ours. The viewer can't immediately tell that these are American children, until the viewer reads the title, which explains it was taken in North Carolina. Once the viewer has connected the demographic of the children, the cultural taboos seem to play much heavier on the impact of the image. It seems to be very reminiscent of Sally Mann's image of her little girl holding a candy cigarette, yet Mark's image shows the reality of a little girl smoking, rather then Mann's more wholesome image.
As I started to look deeper into this image and understand the context of why the image was made, I begin to look at other things that jumped out at me. I noticed how Mark put the focus on Amanda, standing up tall, covering the frame from top to bottom, cropped at the knees. While in contrast you see her cousin, Amy, in the background, sitting down, in a more closed up, relaxed pose. To me I really get the impression of Amanda's mentality of how she thinks she is grown up, almost inferior to all those around her. I get the sense that Amanda would be very mean to her cousin Amy. To me, it seems that Amanda has had a very hard life, so she trys to cover that up by acting older then she actually is, by reference of the make-up and lung destroying vices.
The girl's are in a pool of water, which I think could represent the pool of emotions and actions we take as humans. The girl on the right, Amanda, is standing tall, taking charge of the image, demanding the focus is on her, not asking for our attention but taking it. While her cousin, Amy, is the lesser of the action of people, by her being reserved, left out, not trying to act for the camera, but being in the shadows. I also feel that Mark is trying to show how girls are influence by media, such as actresses on television or models in magazines. She is showing how Amanda, wants to be grown up, basically bypassing being a kid, and live up to the fantasy of being a grown up. Amy, on the other hand is like that every little girl that is a little different, and can't be happy with herself because of the bombardment of propaganda telling girls they should look or dress a certain way. I get that sense just by the look on her face, compared to Amanda's; in the moment this image was taken. I think this image is a great balance to show the contrast of the spectrum of the roles of children, and how one person's taboo is another person's everyday existence.

A Walk On The Wild Side
Product DetailsAuthor Name: Nelson Algren; foreword by Russell Banks Binding: Paperback Book Condition: New Publisher Noonday Press ISBN Number 0374525323 / 9780374525323 Seller ID 9780374525323
The intensity of his feeling the accuracy of his thought make me wonder if any other writer of our time has shown us more exactly the human basis of our democracy. Though Algren often defines his positive values by showing us what happens in their absence his hell burns with passion for heaven.The New York Times Book ReviewA Walk on the Wild Side . . . deserves to read by every Catch-22 and Cuckoo's Nest freak just so they can find out what opened the door for [these] two novels . . . It's not only that before Heller and Kesey there was Algren. It's that Algren is where they came from.Rolling Stone Mr. Algren boy you are good.Ernest Hemingway

True but i still dont like the fact its there Principle. I have enough childish things to deal with IRL than seeing a forum post "I IZ LVL 80 PALADIN BUT FIRST BOSS KILL ME. THIS GAME BROKEN!!!"
I have tried a few MMO's and the majority of people i have come across have the mental age of an 8 year old or are so stuck up about how they are elite players and "totally own you noobs" the thought of that infecting another game that has potential sickens me.

1. | Rayne | ||
Rayne is a name, usually describing a very beautiful girl who is very unique. Usually, she is not aware of her beauty. She can be really misunderstood at times. "My sister is such a Rayne. She's so beautiful but she really acts like she doesn't know it."
2. | Rayne | ||
The name given by fans to 'ship' fiction written about River Tam and Jayne Cobb from Firefly and Serenity. "Ooh, I read a really good Rayne story this morning. Want the link?"
3. | Rayne | ||
Rayne is a beautiful girl with a smile to die for. She'll make you laugh and you'll make her laugh. She's usually quite light hearted and fun to be around, but she does have a temper. When she's in a bad mood she can - and will - rip you apart. Rayne's eyes are the most amazing eyes you'll have ever seen, she's stunning. She'll make you fall in love with her. Her natural charm will take care of anyone that dislikes her. She's easy to please and pleases as well. Guy 1: Man, I wish I knew who that girl was.
Guy 2: That's Rayne. She's amazing. Guy 1: She got a man? Guy 2: You're looking at him. Guy 1: Lucky man. |
4. | Rayne | ||
Rayne. A girl who is one of a kind, just like her name. She is not afraid to be her random crazy self. She will always have your back no matter what, She loves Harry Potter and eating junk food till one o clock in the morning. You may think she is a little crazy at first but at the end of the day you cant help but be thankful for having her in your life. Rayne is so fun to play with !
5. | Rayne | ||
Rayne is one of the most famous and beautiful people of all in RedBana, Audition. Rayne's birthday is on April 26th, so wish him a happy birthday! (Or else..) He is Asian and also a professional singer who has a voice of an angel and will soon become a kpop star. Rayne can even outsing Jiggly Puff! Rayne could never be compared to the other creatures lingering in Audition. Rayne is just too precious to be compared to such thing. Rayne is the king of the ZeroNo's. If you show any disrespect to the almighty royal king, you shall be beheaded and your body will be cremated in the dark dungeon of gundams. Rayne will never have a queen by his side and will never depend on anyone..even his people. Rayne is an indepedent king who shall never take such boorish actions from people and their petty minds. However, Rayne is a very loving king. Everyone in ZeroNo bows down to their wonderful, magnificent king. LONG LIVE KING RAYNE ! Rayne: Kiss my feet
Peasant: Yes master. (kisses) |
6. | Rayne | ||
A king warrior. Large muscles. Killing it. Rayne can be described as Hercules
7. | Rayne | ||
She is usually short with brown curly hair and brown eyes. A little southern bell. Beautiful inside and out. Is too hard on herself. Kind of quiet at first but when you get to know her she is loud and basically a walking party. No one hates this girl because she is so wonderful and if you dont love this girl its because you are just incredably jealous. She is lovable and kind. She does not like saying things that will hurt your feelings. You can always trust her. She is one of a kind. Always follows the rules. The bestest friend a girl could ever have. Girl1: "Rayne is my best friend. I love her so much. I know I can always trust her"
Girl2: "I know right. She is so kind and considerate. I wish I was just like Rayne." |

His economic programs, which included millions spent on social welfare, made him a popular leader in Chongqing. But analysts say his populist policies and high-profile personal style were seen as a challenge to the more economically liberal and reform-oriented faction that dominates the current party leadership.
Bo's fortunes changed when the dramatic scandal involving him and his inner circle began to seep into the public realm. His wife, Gu Kailai, and family aide Zhang Xiaojun were arrested in early April, suspected of poisoning British businessman Neil Heywood.
Heywood died in November in Chongqing, where Bo was the Communist Party chief. His death was originally blamed on excessive alcohol consumption.
Bo was soon stripped of his top posts for "serious breach of discipline." In August, his wife received a suspended death sentence after a seven-hour trial. Days later, four senior Chongqing police officers were also sentenced to jail for covering up the murder.
In an e-mail dated early October obtained by CNN, Bo Guagua, the son of Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai who lives in the United States, reiterated his belief in his parents' innocence and asked his maternal grandmother to find a lawyer for his father.
"Although I miss my parents every minute, I feel they are with me in my heart," the younger Bo wrote. "Wherever they are, they will hold their heads high and be the fearless and transparent people that they are."
"I don't know politics -- but since the state wants to have the rule of law, I believe its decision on my father also must go through a fair legal process," he continued. "Now I am helpless and you are the person closest to me -- I would like to entrust you with the task of finding an appropriate lawyer to defend my father."
A friend of the Bo family, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the story, told CNN the family has hired two Beijing-based lawyers to represent the former politician in impending criminal proceedings. The lawyers have not been allowed to visit Bo but they don't expect a trial to take place for another few months, the friend added.
Wang Lijun, the former police chief of Chongqing, set off the Bo story on February 6, when he fled to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu and told American diplomats that Gu was a suspected accomplice in a murder case.
After his request for asylum was turned down, Wang left the consulate and was taken away by Chinese officials. But his accusations rocked the world's most populous nation.

Emergency Planning
Emergency Planning Tips
The College continues to plan for potential emergency situations. Below are three helpful tips when creating a personal emergency plan.
- It may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call across town, so an out-of-town contact may be in a better position to communicate among separated family members.
- Be sure every member of your family knows the phone number and has coins or a prepaid phone card to call the emergency contact.
- You may have trouble getting through, or the telephone system may be down altogether, but be patient.
- Create an emergency go kit. Click here for for a list of items to help you start your kit.

To abruptly and sharply bump one's nose. I got snorked by a wild pitch in the game last night! My nose still hurts!
1. | snork | ||
Verb: to drink something and have it come out your nose because you're laughing so hard. I told her a funny joke while she was drinking a soda and she snorked. Then I killed her for wasting good soda, and licked it up off the ground.
2. | snork | ||
to unintentionally snort loudly while laughing. Also used as an exclamation after someone snorks, to emphasize the fact and increase their embarrassment. She laughed so hard she snorked.
After he snorted, I pointed at him, yelled "SNORK!" and laughed. |
3. | snork | ||
The early 80's underwater equivalent to the smurfs. Just like the smurfs, most any word can be replaced with the word snork. I think I saw that guy's snork hanging out of his gym shorts!
4. | Snork | ||
Snork: (verb) the act of unintentionally inhaling a liquid refreshment through one's nasal passages via the back of the throat, thereby causing a 'snork' sound to emanate from behind the clenched teeth of the victim. Occurs most frequently when sudden laughter has been induced by an unforeseen event, audio-visual item, or comment. That was so funny I snorked my soda!
5. | snork | ||
-v (snork) Mod. english; 21st century Amer. slang, origin pipe and cigar forum(s) 1. the process of removing recreational pipe or cigar smoke from the mouth through the sinuses and out the nostrils, bypassing the lungs, thereby saturating smell receptors and maximizing taste value while preserving total lung capacity (TLC). Taste isn't all in your mouth; try a snork to recognize the full taste of cigar or pipe smoke.
6. | snork | ||
To forcefully ejaculate, often dryly, with a thick consistency. Like a dick sneeze. "I pulled it out, flipped her over and snorked all over her back"

Ok I need some advice....
Yesterday I found a kitten. I stopped my car thinking she was dead, gonna move her out of the road. She kicked her legs and popped her head up. She hadn't been hit! But I knew there was something severely wrong with her. I picked her up and brought her home with me. First, she had a collar that was way too tight so I removed it, it had been clawed at and frayed to peices anyway. I noticed a hole in her neck, looked closely and realized there were maggots in it. I shaved it and removed the maggots and there was also a HUGE one in there (think it was a "warble") and my husband and I removed it as well. We rinsed the hole with peroxide and have been keeping a check every 2 hrs for anymore maggots to surface - there have been none. I've also put neosporin on it twice. I gave her a flea bath and then later last night, I noticed another 2 holes. One in her leg and one in the fold between her leg and abdomen area. I had to manually remove maggots from them as well, rinsed with peroxide, then put neosporin. Those two holes are closed today. The one is her neck was pretty big, but it is healing quite well evenhough it isn't closed yet. I've tried looking her over for more holes, but haven't found any. She doesn't want me to lift her tail though. She growls and twitches when I do it. It stays very wet around her vaginal/anal area. There were 2 maggots under her tail I can't find any wounds. I did pour peroxide and it bubbles like crazy all over under there.
She maybe weighs a pound soaking wet. She has no muscles and her head is fixed in a sideways position, probably due to the warble/maggots. Her balance is off and she is very weak. She has fallen in her food bowl trying to eat. She looks terrible. I have no doubt in my mind that when she laid down before I found her, she would've never gotten back up.
Since she hasn't wanted to drink anything at all, I got a kitten bottle and some kitten formula and have been bottle feeding her. This should keep her hydrated along with giving her some much needed nutrients.
I know all of this sounds really REALLY bad, but I don't want to give up on her. If there is a vet or a vet tech that can give me some advice, I would more than appreciate it. I've recently spent a ton of money on vet bills with another cat. I absolutely cannot afford anymore vet bills. My local shelter will just put her down. I don't have the heart to do that.
Bright side:
She has been eating like crazy today. Yesterday she wouldn't do it. She has also walked around (just a little bitty bit). And, she PURRRED today! I was holding her and bottle feeding her and she kept purring in between swallows. It made me feel great. At least if she dies, she won't die alone. She knows she has someone there that cares and wants to help her make it :) Though it makes me cry to think about her not making it. I'm already attached. Sounds kinda pathetic, but I am such a weenie. I fall in love with animals, and it would break my heart if she didn't pull through.
What I need help with:
1) will the holes heal or close if there are maggots in there? I can't imagine the holes closing on top of them, so hopefully they are gone. I am almost certain that I got them all out, but I can't ever know for sure. I don't want to re-open the holes to check. And if there are some still in there, what harm could they do? They are supposed to vacate the body when they are finished feeding. Some websites say it takes up to 72 hrs.
2) Her paws and ears are cold. I am keeping her wrapped up with "HotHands". Not directly on her skin, of course, but i have them placed around her blanket. Does this mean her temp is below normal or is this a big issue for her to be so cold? She does shiver, but she may be nervous. I have 3 cats. They aren't bothering her but I can tell she is uneasy around them. This may be why she shivers. Or because she doesn't know me very well.
3) Is there anything else that I can be doing for her (that I can afford)? Please don't ridicule me about not being able to take her to a vet. I'm still on my payment plan from my cat with asthma.
4) I have an antibiotic (amoxicillan) that the vet perscribed me for one of my cats when he had a sinus infection. It is not expired. Will this help her fight off any infection? The dropper for my full grown cat was 1.0 so what dosage, if any, should I give the warble kitty? Keep in mind she is weak, small, and young.
If you all can help me, I will forever be in debt to u! I really want to save this kitty.
Sogeval is a shampoo that I got from my vet for the ferrel cat Missy that may help Maggie.
Maggie has had some good days back to back! I know I am getting my hopes up, but I am very optimistic about her! She is eating great (own her own) and, if you'll notice in her pics, her head is barely even tilted anymore! The lump went away almost as quickly as it came. I love it! Hopefully the good days will turn into all great days and she will be happy and healthy!
Enjoying her petting she is getting from mommy:
Happy about her full belly :)
I thought you guys might enjoy this pic. I took this pic earlier today of Maggie and our recently rescued pit bull "Snookie". Snookie wasn't in as bad of shape as Maggie. I don't think I have ever seen an animal have to fight for her life like Maggie has. She has been a trooper, and I am so glad she has held on. I have some great news :) Maggie has been walking around like crazy. I can call for her and she will walk straight to me. I have to keep calling or she will lose her direction, but she can always come within a foot or so. Smart girl! It has to be tough to have to follow sound like that! She also follows this pit bull around everywhere she goes. She's gotta be following foot vibrations or Snookie's smell. The two of them have become best friends. Snookie even tried to share some chicken wing bones with Maggie the other night. It was so cute! Of course Mag couldnt eat them, but it was still cute to watch! Maggie still only wants wet, canned catfood. She still doesn't meow. Can't find the litterbox. She don't try to jump or climb up on things... I wonder if she ever will. Anyway, I'll keep updating as she progresses. I couldn't be happier!
She looks very happy. That's what matters :)

Soemtimes referred to as "runner runner" in poker. This occurs when you have the other player dominated, and he draws out the turn and the river to beat you. My pocket Aces were good, until some donkey called me with 74 of spades, and caught a spade on the flop, a spade on the turn, and a spade on the river. Big surprise I got prefontained again.

The Herman Miller Nelson Marshmallow Sofa is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: 5670.
The catalog also said, "Despite its astonishing appearance, this piece is very comfortable."
Designed by Irving Harper and George Nelson, the sofa was reintroduced by Herman Miller after a 34-year hiatus in 1999.
The Marshmallow Sofa is part of two lists:Top 10: Furniture that Would Confuse Your GrandmotherTop 10: Furniture that Could Appear in A Clockwork Orange.
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.
Herman Miller is an industry leader in the integration of cutting edge technology to furniture and other household items to make everyday life more comfortable, convenient, and stylish. Herman Miller stands out at the forefront of such fields as ergonomic technologies, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and customizable furniture items.
In addition to producing some of the most outstanding office furniture in the world, Herman Miller has also taken on the responsibility of manufacturing some of the most celebrated furniture designs by some of the world's most famous designs. These "modern classics" include works by Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Isamu Noguchi. Herman Miller celebrates these famous mid-century designers' works through its extraordinarily precise manufacturing techniques and industry-leading green production processes.
Herman Miller is a global company with operations, sales offices, dealers, and licensees in more than 40 countries in North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, serving customers virtually anywhere in the world. Herman Miller is headquartered in Zeeland, Michigan, while manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., China, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
CrepeA 100 percent recycled polyester, Crepe is durable, easy to clean and comfortably soft. A more affordable alternative to leather, Crepe has a 60,000 double rub polyester.
Standard LeatherChromium free and in stock at Herman Miller, standard leather is a winner for most. Direct from Austria with a matte, soft feel, this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items. It has a faint embossed grain pattern and little shine.
Dream Cow LeatherA gentle European full grain aniline-dyed cowhide with a calfskin feel, this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. Dream cow is very popular, it has a natural grain and medium shine and is similar to Royal Hide without the price.
Metallic Dream Cow LeatherMetallic is right. This leather is infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Features offbeat, moody colors with a shimmer to them.
Free White Glove (for residential destinations within the contiguous U.S. only)
