Last year, I filed ongoing noise complaints with Pam Donbach, former manager of Camp Hill Plaza Apartments. Pam gave the appearance she was dealing with the complaints until I signed the renewal agreement for another year. After I signed the renewal agreement, Pam sent an email saying it was okay for the same residents I had been complaining about to keep up the noise.
Same thing happened when I signed the recent renewal. After I signed the lease renewal, a new manager, Andy Kaehler, moved in another tenant who moved in out of a taxi cab. This tenant instantaneously appeared immediately after I signed the lease renewal and he is constantly banging and slamming doors and cabinets. After I complained to Andy about the tenant, the tenant got louder and louder.
I had been sending Andy email after email about the disruptive tenant and could not believe he responded one day asking me what type of noise the tenant was causing. So I copied and pasted each complaint I had been sending to him. When Andy responded that he was going to send the tenant a letter to "resolve" the matter, that next day, I thought a plane had crashed into this building because that is exactly how loud that tenant was banging and slamming things. Would you believe he was even throwing things against the ceiling in his apartment and literally and downright harassing me in my apartment!
If any normal person is notified by the manager of an apartment complex about keeping the noise levels down, any normal person to respond accordingly. But these are not normal tenants and I could be wrong -- but I do not believe I am -- that this rude tenant was brought here specifically to make me move.
Moreover, instead of dealing with the noise, Andy wrote me an email saying I had complained about other tenants and that he did not believe I "was happy" living here. Now I had already provided notice to Camp Hill Plaza Apartments before this tenant moved in that I was renewing the lease agreement. However, instead of Andy dealing with the disruptive tenant, he chose instead to grant me additional time to change my mind and move.
Furthermore by now, I would have received my rental bill. But I have not received a bill for January 2010 and not only is my rent is due tomorrow but I signed the renewal and for them not to send my bill is certainly a violation. So I have contacted an attorney. It is a pitiful shame a person cannot reside in a rental unit in these United States of America without legal representation!
On many, many occasions, I have requested the name of the owner, Mitchell Morgan, and I have yet to receive his contact information because they refuse to give it to me. Let me tell you . . . I have seen the other reports posted by tenants in other Morgan Properties locations and it is amazing how Morgan Properties continues to receive "Best Apartment" awards year-after-year. These apartments are not the best but are rather some of the worst instead.

The management stinks! Take a look at this ongoing chain of correspondence and how they are blaming me for their tenant's behavioral patterns. Never seen anything like this before in my life.

You people need to be ashamed of yourselves. While you state that one resident broke her lease because of me, your apartment manager, Andy, otherwise told me a completely different story in that Camp Hill Apartments was dealing with her legally for breaking her lease on her own volition. Prior to her moving in, another resident playing loud music broke his lease, too, and moved after I received an email from Andy saying he had "given notice" to move. And I am sure with a subpoena of your rental records, it can be without a shadow of doubt that many of your renters break their leases.
Subject: Camp Hill Plaza
Thank you once again for contacting Morgan Properties through our website. I apologize that it has taken me some time to respond to you. Over the past year, you have spoken with me and have worked with both Property Managers appointed to your property. In each situation that has been brought forward regarding the noise occurring in the residence beneath you, each has been investigated and management has found no evidence of unreasonable disturbances or violations of
the lease. Over the past several months, two sets of residents that lived beneath you have moved out because of your continued banging on the walls and disturbing nature that has occurred while they were in their home. Both had indicated that they could no longer live beneath you and in a home where they felt so uncomfortable. The last resident broke her lease within one month of
move-in for that is how upset she was regarding your behavior. At the time of your most recent renewal and before the last reside nt moved out, you were given the opportunity and extension on your renewal to really consider if you wanted to continue residing at Camp Hill Plaza. While we were happy that you made the decision to renew your lease, we were and are still concerned that Camp Hill Plaza and possibly community living is never going to meet your needs and expectations for as soon as the next resident moved in beneath you, you complaints started again. Morgan Properties believes in delivering exceptional customer service and we want our customers to have great experiences when living with us. While I believe in upholding the lease which states that Tenant will not act in any way, which unreasonably disturbs the peace and quiet of other residents, I believe that your standard of quiet enjoyment is unreasonable and will never be met while living at Camp Hill Plaza.
While I have valued our relationship over the past several years as Tenant and Landlord, the continued complaining without reasonable cause, banging on the walls and disturbing behavior to the residence beneath you needs to cease. You claim in your email that you have banged on
your walls so hard that you now have put holes in them. This clearly identifies that the unreasonable behavior reported by those living beneath you is true by your own words. As Andy has stated in previous emails to you, if you would like to end your lease at Camp Hill Plaza, we would honor a 30 day written notice from you to terminate the lease.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback through our website. Have a nice evening.

Regional Manager
Morgan Properties
*** Original Feedback ***
Shortly after giving notice to continue renting from Camp Hill Apartments last
year, an extremely rude, loud and disrespectful tenant moved into the apartment
directly below my apartment. The same happened the year prior when Pam Donbach
was the manager. After complaining to Pam about other tenants playing loud
music, shortly after I signed the lease renewal, Pam sent a letter saying the
same tenants could continue with the same noise I complained to her about.
On December 14, 2009, a new property manager, Andy, sent the following email
saying he would send a letter to the tenant below me to "resolve" the noise
issue after I submitted repeated complaints:
Date: 12/14/2009 8:52:28 AM Eastern Standard Time
Please let me know the noises that you heard at 1:02 am on Saturday morning. I
will then send a letter to the resident below to "resolve" the noise issues.
Afterwards, instead of Andy asking me if the situation had been "resolved", he
instead sent the following email saying the noise that tenant on the first floor
is keeping up is "reasonable" and "acceptable"and encouraged me to move with an
extremely short notice that other apartment communities could not accommodate:
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:40:43 -0500 (EST)
Although I recognize your concerns with noise, it is necessary for me to state
that Camp Hill Plaza Apartments is a multi-family community. In such a
community, there can be no gurantee that no noise will be heard in neighboring
apartments. The past three previous residents have had complaints of noise
mentioned against them from you. After thoroughly reviewing the files and
consulting with previous management as well as my supervisor, we want to be
clear that everyday reasonable noise is acceptable. We will not tolerate loud
parties and gatherings but everyday activities are within the norm. Your
current lease is to expire on January 31,2010. You have already expressed your
desire to renew. I want to give you an opportunity to reconsider that decision
based on this communication. We will release you from your renewal if written
notice is given by January 1, 2010. It is our desire to have satisfied
residents in our community but it seems that you are not totally sati
sfied here. Please let me know your decision and I am available for further
discussion of this matter.
Andy Kaehler
Property Manager
On December 28, I submitted a request via Morgan-Properties.com's website for an
extension. However, none of the apartment communities could accommodate my
short notice requesting other housing.
Since that time, in an effort to keep that tenant from disturbing me in my
apartment, I have banged on the walls and not knowing my own strength from the
frustration I am experiencing, I have accidently knocked several holes into the
walls that I am not paying for because Andy's letter did not "resolve" anything
and I have had to deal with that loud tenant on my own because of the short
notice to find other housing. I also must sleep with earplugs in my ears and
have been late to my job on several occasions because I cannot hear my alarm
clock. Moreover that tenant bangs and slams things so loud that the walls in my
apartment literally shake.
I am writing to find out what you people are going to do about this problem.
Although I cannot recall whether the lease agreement mentions anything regarding
noise, Pennsylvania law certainly mandates that tenants have a right to a quiet
and peaceable environment and Andy's email correspondence indicated the noise
issue would be "resolved," which it has not been.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Posted on 05/09/2014 8:13:12 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee
Theyve ignored the violent region for a decade, theyve never spoken out about the Islamist radical terrorists who have killed thousands, but now that over 250 girls have been kidnapped by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, suddenly a handful of Hollywooders have deigned to notice and weeks late at that.
In April, the terror group Boko Haram went on a mass kidnapping spree imprisoning hundreds of Nigerian girls who were trying to attend school. The Islamists are against girls going to school, naturally. That and they want to money from selling the girls into sexual slavery. Hundreds of grief stricken Nigerian parents have been trying to get the world to notice for weeks.
President Obama has been ignoring the mass kidnapping for almost a month already. But now he is finally starting to pay attention. On May 7 First Lady Michelle Obama Tweeted out a photo of herself holding a piece of paper that sways #Bring Back Out Girls.
For his part, the President has begun to offer some help, though no one is quite sure what that amounts to yet.
That is all well and good, but what is galling is the idiots in Hollywood. Suddenly being all worried about the Nigerian girls is all the rage among the hipsters. To express their newfound concern a handful of Hollyidiots Tweeted photos of themselves with stern faces holding signs that say real men dont buy girls.
(Excerpt) Read more at wizbangblog.com ...
That and strongly worded letters of protest from the WH.
I wonder what the reaction was to the buring of the boys in the church?....or the attack that killed 300 in the city square?.....
Lemmings, right on cue
Send in mr hand!
Doesn't fit the war on women strategery!
The Film Actors Guild is at it again.
Don't look now, but I hear the Revvveruund Jesse Jackson is considering "Frowning Upon" this mass abduction. He'll still thinking about it, waiting to hear the magic phrase 'Financial Restitution will be made in full to all parties injured or otherwise compromised!"
As I just posted on another thread:
A hashtag is ASTONISHINGLY lame when compared with the enormity of the situation. Along the lines of Britney tagging #badBokoHaramBAD!
Any mention that they are CHRISTIAN?
Those girls are spread halfway around the planet by now.
Maybe he can shake his fists in a violent manner while saying "Why I outta"
I bet he has rented a bunch though
Sean just needs a new Commie friend! Maybe Dennis R can introduce him to Kim in NK!
Gee Sean,have you been in a coma for the past 20 years????
What has that Black Howdy Doody, bow tie wearing Farrtakhan have to say about it? Bet it's just fine with him cause it's Black boys doin it not some racist White slavers!
Jake: [fakes accent] How much for the little girl? How much for the women?
Father: What?
Jake: Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children.
Real men double check the drain plug before they launch their bass boat.
Here is an opportunity for all our Hollywood super heroes to put their big boy and big girl pants on and go over to Nigeria and be heroes. But the best they've got are hashtags —
Watch out Boko Haram — incoming hashtags.
Of course they do, if they happen to be rich and possibly famous.
Real men don't buy girls? Maybe not, but do they pay for their abortions? Where have our chivalrous [real] men gone? Who took them? We want them back. #BringBackOurChivalrousMen
spend a few million and hire some mercenaries Sean!
Or can't you do anythng be act tough?
If only they cared so much for all of the girls that have been aborted around the globe.
What of this "War on Women?"
Where are the "Concerned" Democrats now?
Where is Sandra Fluck?
And where is the Women's Group N.O.W.?
Could it be that the "Women's Study" Professors,
Are tied to their Classes still?
And where are the Women Students?
With their loud voices shrill?
What was the real target
Of the Democrat's War on Women?
Surely their real target
Was not the Republicans,
Or, - - - really and truly is it?
SO, our rich and famous are all balled up about 250 African girls, but no such concern about 3 Navy seals and an Ambassador killed by the same type of people?
shows where their priorities are.
I know who all those douchebags are, excepting one.
I suppose that makes me a douche by association.
Matt Damon?
You're right that they never mention gender selective abortions.
You get to hold up your stupid signs and run #hashtag campaigns because real men don't fight evil with slogans.
Who do you think Boko Haram fears more?
They have made Special Forces irrelevant, and twitter accounts for all theaters of conflict, will save us billions.
Oh the Humanity.
Hey Sean, "Real Men Don't Hit Women With a Baseball Bat."
Geez, this guy is a loony tune. I believe him like I believe Brad Pitt and Angeline and Jennifer Anniston are ever going to marry. They do it all for publicity to keep them in the public's eye. None of these guys can really seem to commit to anything except getting their names and pics in the public eye. Same old, same old.
All you Hollywood clowns — Boko Haram is scared sh*tless.
Hey Mr Penn, your hashtag photo would be even more if you posed infront of the artwork you had made from your gun collection. That would REALLY show em!
I wonder if Sean Penn realizes that NOBODY in Boko Haram is going to see his picture and sign, and even if they did, they'd say "Sean WHO?"
But then posing and pretending to care is what Hollywood people are so good at. Pretending to care is what they are paid to do.
The cess pool of Hollywood trying to act like they give a rat's ass. These clowns are the reason this country is in the shape it is.
Why That's Abhorrent!!
Lookee here, we're getting all atwitter and we're going to send a torrent of tweets!
So there!
How young are the high priced hookers they often hire?
There were no Benghazi hearings to overshadow when those things happened.
Notice how our peaceful 'American' Muslims are totally outraged at what happened in Nigeria.
Expect protest marches tomorrow, downtown.
Sean Penn plead a felony domestic assault down to a misdemeanor when he was married to Madonna.
Is he really one to be advising anyone else about violence against women?

Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program,..A program that benefits the consumer, which assures their complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.
As a matter of policy, when Ripoff Report is retained by a company to mount an independent investigation and to publish our findings, we examine the truthfulness of the consumer complaints using every bit of information at our disposal. Our process is systematic and highly effective because: 1) It takes place at the consumer level and 2) the company or individual in our Corporate Advocacy Program must commit to 'doing whatever it takes to make things right with their customers.' By working closely with the company or individual, Rip-off Report can track the footprints left behind when their promised level of customer service is actually followed by the solid ground of real behavior. Only then do we publish our findings.
Ripoff Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can only report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Rip-off Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that this company is a reputable firm, offering products and services of real value.

By Ed Magedson - Founder, Rip-off Report
Cash4Gold approached Rip-Off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving consumer concerns posted on Rip-off Report. After a recent mailing to everyone who filed a Rip-off Report, it became apparent that Cash4Gold is sincere in their commitment to remedy any and all customer concerns. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that Cash4Gold has now dedicated a portion of their customer service team to work exclusively on making improvements in the customer service arena. These changes were implemented as a direct result of feedback they received from Rip-off Report.
As a sign of their commitment, Cash4Gold recently had every employee sign a "Commitment to Excellence" contract. This document, between Cash4Gold and its employees, was designed to reiterate the fact that customer service is their primary concern. This contract states Without our clients Cash4Gold does not exist, therefore our clients are our #1 priority and I as an employee will go above and beyond our client's expectation in the pursuit of excellence in every aspect of the business. An executive told Rip-off Report that every employee signed this contract from the CEO down to part time employees.
Cash4Gold executives including executives from Albar Precious Metal Refining - also admitted during the last 14 months they have tripled the size of their Customer service group as well as their inventory control methods. This has helped insure a completely safe and easy transaction.
Rip-Off Report has done an extensive investigation with Cash4Gold actually giving them some ideas for implementing systems which we have seen work for other companies with such high customer volume, That we are proud to give Cash4Gold a positive rating due to their continued efforts in customer satisfaction.. The changes they made were nor cheap or easy this is something they would have never been done by a company trying to rip people off.
Cash4gold's CEO said he knew of some early mistakes and was determined to fix them no matter what the cost, these are the type of company's we like working with one's that can admit their was a flaw and do whatever is necessary to fix the situation.
CASH4GOLD.com CONTINUES TO EMPHASIZE ONLINE SECURITY AND SATISFACTION
Cash4Gold.com is a member of the Better Business Bureau Online's Reliability Program, the trustee certified privacy for secure online transactions, and the Jeweler's Vigilance Committee, an organization that is dedicated to maintaining quality and ethical standards within the jewelry industry. Their 100% Customer Satisfaction guarantees that if you are dissatisfied with the amount you are paid or the value of your jewelry, you can return the check within 10 days to receive your jewelry. For additional questions about Cash4Gold.com, email firstname.lastname@example.com
CASH4GOLD & Albar Precious Metal Refining COMMITTED TO BEING THE BEST PAY-OUT ACCORDING TO MARKET STANDARDS
After reading the rip-off report comments pertaining to Cash4Gold, we realized that several people were unhappy with the amount they were paid often for a wedding band. Jewelry can be highly personal and emotional. Cash4Gold is in the business of providing the best rate possible for the product being submitted, but this rate is paid out based on the metal's current market value not its emotional value, unfortunately, says President Jeff Aronson.
Cash4Gold encourages feedback from customers, whether positive or negative. Email email@example.com to let them know your thoughts on the Cash4Gold process.
Cash4Gold has paid attention to Rip-Off Report filings regarding their current level of customer satisfaction. They have noticed that several people are unhappy when they want their jewelry returned. Under different circumstances, you as a customer may want to request your jewelry returned to you.
We, at Cash4Gold.com have given the maximum grace period that we can possibly offer. The nature of our business requires that the metals are indeed melted. We can't just sit on it forever, so we try to be as accommodating to our customers as possible, says President, Jeff Aronson.
Through their customer feedback, and by joining the Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Program, Cash4Gold has established what they see as the basis for the majority of their complaints lack of communication.
According to President, Jeff Aronson, When we see complaints, the majority are based on the amount received. The bottom line is that just because you paid $500 for a piece of jewelry at one time, it doesn't necessarily mean that the piece was worth that amount. Often, the retail price is a significant mark-up. At Cash4Gold, we pay out for pieces based on the type of metal and the current market price.
Cash4Gold is committed to 100% satisfaction. They have taken measures on their web site to clearly walk customers through anything that they might expect in the process.
Another common complaint seems to be that people are anxious while waiting for the Refiner's Return Kit to be received. Cash4Gold has been pro-active in providing a Trak Your Pak feature that is available on the website. Cash4Gold is willing to correct anything that has lead to dissatisfaction.
Rip-off Report knows, there is no company or individual that is perfect Cash4Gold knows this also and demonstrates their need for continuing improvement - that is why Rip-off Report feels you can be completely confident, feel safe and secure when doing business with them as a member of Rip-off Reports' Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.
As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program - Rip-off Report sent an email to every client who filed a Report on Cash4Gold and I would now like to share the results with you.
The majority of clients stated that they appreciated our efforts and related how they had already been taken care of in a satisfactory manner. One customer said they feel that Cash4Gold went way beyond the call of good customer service.. Every time we do our mailing customers ask if they could remove the Report they filed and we always explain that unfortunately, it was not possible. It is Rip-off Report's philosophy that it is much more beneficial for the consumer to see how a company like Cash4Gold takes care of their mistakes. No company is with out its share of problems, however, there are many companies who continually sweep those problems under the rug and never achieve the growth that other companies such as Cash4Gold enjoys.
Rip-off Report feels Cash4Gold has learned from all those who have complained... and they even seemed to be thankful for those who have brought problems to their attention. Cash4Gold President, Jeff Aronson states If for any reason you feel that any of your items have not been fairly evaluated by Cash4Gold, simply return our check or call within ten (10) days of the date on the check. Cash4Gold will promptly return your items. That I guarantee! Besides Cash4Golds guarantee, Rip-off Report is always monitoring it's members to the Corporate Advocacy Program.
Cash4Gold shows leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.
Keep in mind, Cash4Gold has worked with thousands of clients and with only 10 Rip-off Reports to show for it. What really is amazing that despite Rip-off report appearing on most search engines right below Cash4Gold, their complaint ratio is less then one half of one percent. Rip-off report feels that this is significantly below the industry standard for the clientele that they work with. From our perspective, it is quite unusual for a company who has had so few complaints request on their own to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Cash4Gold is showing leadership for other companies to follow that care about their clients.
While Rip- off Report does not endorse any company, including Cash4Gold, overall, our research demonstrated to us that Cash4Gold is a solid, reliable company that stands behind its service.
Many companies that contact Rip-off Report make claims that the Reports about them are false, were filed by the same person or even a competitor. Yes, Rip-off Report knows this can happen from time to time; however, we know this is not true most of the time. From federal to local law enforcement agencies, most use Rip-off Report regularly. When Rip-off Report works with law enforcement to assist consumers, never once have we heard from any agency that the Reports filed had bogus contact information. These agencies include FBI, FTC, SEC, Homeland Security, US Postal Inspectors, Justice Department, IRS, Federal Prosecutors and local law enforcement in the USA along with government agencies in more than eight other countries.
Rip-off Report does not solicit its Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. Any participation in this program is completely voluntary and at the request of the program member.
This program requires the Member Business to agree to satisfy all complaints - past, present and in the future, even when those complaints come to us by e-mail.
The Member Business must also state improvements they are willing to make to their business which benefits the customer to avoid the reported problems from happening again in the future.
Anyone contacting the following e-mail address will get immediate attention. (within 3-5 business days, usually with in 24 to 48 hours) We ask that you contact Customer Service: at customer email@example.com
RIP-OFF REPORT CHARTING NEW TERRITORY ..Consumers should feel confident and secure when doing business with member businesses.
..Remember, just because a company or individual is reported on Rip-off Report does not mean you should not do business with them. Use Rip-off Report information as a tool to your advantage. Be knowledgeable about any company or person you hire. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions and get additional information until you feel comfortable in allowing them to work for you.
Be sure to contact us with your questions and comments about any business that is part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome and will be considered even if we don't agree with them.

It always looked to be either Carlos Vela or Loic Remy, and now with Arsenal having wiped their hands with the Mexican, Remy looks to be at the head of the list to join Arsenal later this summer.
The French international was heavily linked with a move to north London prior to the World Cup, and while talk hasn't been as feverish as it once was, there haven't been too many denials from the club or player, if any.
Remy, reportedly available for just under £10 million, would be a fine addition for Arsenal, though only if he is supported by another forward like Alexis Sanchez. In tandem, Remy and Alexis would considerably boost Arsenal's chances at landing the Premier League title in the near future.

Oconomowoc murder suspect escapes in Arkansas
Welch escapes on way to Waukesha
A man being transported to Waukesha to face a murder-for-hire charge in the slaying of an Oconomowoc woman made a brazen escape in Arkansas early Wednesday, and a manhunt is under way for him.
Justin P. Welch, 26, stabbed a guard, took his weapon and fired at a second guard at a rest area on I-40 in Van Buren, Ark., about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, Van Buren police said.
Welch then commandeered the prisoner transport van and fled east on the interstate, Oconomowoc Police Chief Dave Beguhn said Wednesday.
The North Atlantic Extradition Service transport van had stopped at the rest area, near Fort Smith, Ark., just east of the Oklahoma border, to allow prisoners to use restroom facilities, Beguhn said. North Atlantic is a private company based in Mississippi that transports prisoners.
Welch was one of five prisoners who had been taken into the restroom facilities by a transport guard, the Van Buren Police Department said in a news release.
Inside the rest stop building, Welch used a screwdriver-like tool to stab the guard in the right hand and got his gun, Van Buren police said. Police do not know where Welch got the tool and haven't recovered it.
According to the Van Buren Police Department:
Welch also accosted a truck driver who was in the restroom. Welch robbed the truck driver of his jacket and cell phone and handcuffed the driver to the other prisoners.
Welch handcuffed and shackled the injured guard in the restroom as well and ordered everyone to stay in the restroom.
At that point, Welch left the restroom and got in the driver's side of the transport van. When the second guard realized Welch was one of the prisoners, he struggled with Welch but ran from the van when he realized Welch had his partner's Glock .40-caliber pistol. The second guard was not armed.
As the second guard was fleeing, Welch fired a number of shots at him.
The injured guard was taken to a hospital, Van Buren police said.
Authorities are warning people that Welch is armed and extremely dangerous.
At one point, authorities thought Welch was near Little Rock, about 130 miles southeast of Van Buren. That was based on a cell phone tower picking up a signal from a cell phone Welch is believed to have with him, Little Rock police said.
But Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said authorities do not believe Welch remained in the Little Rock area. He has no ties to the area, Hastings said.
I-40 goes through North Little Rock. It's possible that Welch is trying to flee to Mexico, authorities speculated. The white Dodge van has Mississippi license plates and "North Atlantic Extradition" on its side.
Welch was being transported from the San Diego, Calif., County Jail, where he was held after his Nov. 18 arrest in connection with the stabbing death of Kimberly Smith on Oct. 1 in her Oconomowoc home.
Welch, who was arrested in Mexico as he attempted to cross the border into the United States, had been in the San Diego Jail awaiting extradition and was released on Sunday to be taken to Wisconsin.
'Very dangerous individual'
"Welch is a very dangerous individual. We knew that. We warned the extradition authorities of that. Unfortunately, our concerns were borne out," Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said.
Beguhn said he was disappointed over the escape. "We wanted Justin Welch to face charges," he said.
"Obviously, Justin has shown to be a very dangerous subject. He must have been planning the escape along the route," Beguhn said.
Welch apparently believed he has nothing to lose, Beguhn said.
If convicted of killing Smith, Welch faces life in prison.
Welch is charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
According to the criminal complaint, Welch, Darren M. Wold, 41, of Lubbock, Texas, and Jack E. Johnson, 65, of Mexico and formerly of Waukesha, conspired to kill Smith, who was in a bitter custody dispute with Wold over their 4-year-old son.
2 others charged in plot
Wold and Johnson are charged with first-degree intentional homicide, party to a crime.
Smith's body was found Oct. 1 in the living room of her home, according to criminal complaints filed against the three men. Her hands were bound with ribbon, and she had been stabbed eight times, court records state.
Her son was in the house at the time of the slaying but did not witness it, police have said.
The complaint against Wold alleges that he funneled at least $900 through Johnson, a longtime friend, to pay for Welch to fly to Milwaukee in late September under an alias to kill Smith.
The plot followed increasingly vocal complaints by Wold to co-workers about his ongoing contested child custody issues with Smith, at one point telling a co-worker "I wish I could find someone to hire to kill my ex," the complaint says.
Police found a knife and a pair of medical-style gloves in a storm drain near Smith's home. The knife, missing from a set of cutlery in Smith's home, and gloves were used in the slaying, authorities say. DNA evidence found inside the gloves and a fingerprint connected the gloves to Welch, of California.
Welch has a criminal history that includes robbery, auto theft and battery, and he was being sought by California authorities on a probation violation at the time he was identified as a suspect in the Smith homicide.
North Atlantic Extradition declined to comment about the escape.
The company also was used to transport Johnson, who also was arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border, from the San Diego County jail to Waukesha.
Wold was brought to Wisconsin from Texas by Waukesha County sheriff's deputies, who were in Texas conducting their investigation into Smith's death, Schimel said.
Schimel said ground transportation was used because it is cost-effective. He said he also was not comfortable about having Welch on an airplane.
Ground transportation is used in an effort to minimize the opportunity for a prisoner to endanger the public, Schimel said.
Van Buren police said the four prisoners being transported with Welch were taken from the rest area to the Crawford County Detention Center.
Bill Sadler, Arkansas State Police public information officer, said a statewide search was being conducted for Welch and that every county would be checked.
Van Buren police said a warrant for Welch's arrest has been issued in Arkansas on charges of attempted capital murder; first-degree escape; aggravated robbery, theft; second-degree battery; and kidnapping.

Here's How Gauhar Khan Got Eliminated From Khatron Ke Khiladi 5
Gauhar Khan, the hot favourite actress and winner of Bigg Boss 7 got eliminated from the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 5. Gauhar managed to perform some of the most difficult stunts on the show but failed at surviving another week on the show.
The final stunt that got the beautiful actress exit the show involved both her weeknesses, water and height. Gauhar lost the challange when she was asked to separate the torches while standing in a suspended glass box above a flowing river, with continuous shower of ice!
Previously, Gauhar failed to perform well in her previous stunts, which involved her to grab as many flags as possible while moving on a one-feet platform inbetween two ten-storied buildings (See photo slider to understand better). She also failed at the Ostrich stunt, where she stayed on the bird for the least amount of time.
Gauhar Khan, who has been one of the most popular celebrity on Khatron Ke...5, contested along with her boyfriend and co-contestant from Bigg Boss 7, Kushal Tandon. Kushal exited the show due to the shoulder injury a few weeks back but stayed with Gauhar off the show, giving her moral support.
Here are the photos of her last few stunts that got her enter elimination round and then eliminated from the show, Khatron Ke Khiladi 5.

Von Willebrand's Disease (VWD, Pseudohemophillia, Vascular hemophillia)
VWD is a clotting disorder that
can result in uncontrolled bleeding, depending on the type of VWD. It
is a very serious disorder with no treatment or cure. DNA tests are
available to detect carrier, clear, and affected dogs.
Collie Eye Anomally (CEA, Choroidal hypoplasia, CH)
CEA is a recessively inherited disorder that causes abnormal development of the choroid - an important layer of the tissue under the retina of the eye. Since the choroid layer does not develop normally from the start, the primary abnormality can be diagnosed at a very young age. There is no treatment for CEA.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
DM is a progressive disease of the spinal cord in older dogs. The disease has an insidious onset typically between 8 and 14 years of age. It begins with a loss of coordination (ataxia) in the hind limbs. The weakness gets progressively worse until the dog is unable to walk. The clinical course can range from 6 months to 1 year before the dog becomes paraplegic. If signs progress for a longer period of time, loss of urinary and fecal continence may occur. DM is not painful.
Gallbladder Mucoceles (Hepatobiliary disease, Mucinous cholecystitis, Mucinous hyperplasia)
GM causes obstruction of the gallbladder's storage capacity due to the formation of a thick, mucoid bile mass inside the gallbladder, impairing its ability to function. The accumulated bile may extend to the gallbladder, resulting in necrotizing cholecystitis - tissue death due to inflammation of the gallbladder. It is most common in middle-aged to older dogs.
Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR1, Ivertmectin sensitivity)
Multi-Drug Resistance is found in a number of herding breeds, and results in a sensitivity to certain medications. It is found as the result of having the MDR1 gene – better known as the multi-drug resistance gene mutation. Veterinarians are well aware of the possible presence of this gene in herding breeds, and appropriate precautions and alternatives are provided. DNA testing for normal and affected dogs is available.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip Dysplasia a painful, often crippling disease caused by an abnormality of the hip joint where the head of the thighbone (femur) does not fit properly into the pelvic socket. It is often progressive, causing inflammation, pain, and arthritis. The inheritance of hip dysplasia is polygenetic and multifactored, meaning more than one mode of inheritance is involved and environmental factors such as weight and growth rates can also play a part. The hips of breeding dogs should be evaluated by a specialist in canine orthopedics prior to breeding.

Catalytic Converter
Hey everyone, i'm planning on getting my exhaust done soon and was wondering what the cons of getting rid of my cat would be? My truck is an '03 and i've heard that cutting off the cats really only affects anything newer than an '05, how true is this? Thanks.
only issue you should have would be your CEL would come on,for the rear o2 sensor.thats easy and cheap to fix,i can explain if you decide to do it.also your truck will be louder.i plan to do this in the near future as well.
Thank you, I will probably do it if it's not going to affect anything other than the CEL. What is the fix for this?
In California, any vehicle 1976 & newer, will not pass Smog without the Catalytic Converter, if it had one when built
Do you need to pass emissions? Do you care about the environment? You can cut the cat off, but late model cats are very free flowing and you gain little without them. I would leave them on on any late model vehicle. On older vehicles I would replace it with a aftermarket cat.
if you need to pass emissions,leave it be or get high flow cats.if not,i say cut them.it sounds alot better imo.
to fix it get a set of spark plug non-foulers(not sure on the size,but its the same as the o2 sensor)
take one of them and drill the hole out to 1/2 inch.screw that one on your o2 sensor.then,take the other,and screw over the one you drilled.
then you take the hole setup and screw it into where your sensor goes.
this acts like a spacer and makes less air get to the sensor and tricks it into thinking you have a cat.some say it doesnt work but it has been fine for me.no CEL
^that method has worked for me as well on other vehicles. (not that I'm for cutting cats).
some say it doesnt work but it has worked well for me, but with that said i do still have my cat,but it is a magnaflow high flow cat and was setting off my sensor,this cleared it up

Feiglin Supporters Preach LikudThursday, January 8th, 2015
A Likud activist who a was a strong supporter of outgoing KM Moshe Feiglin posted on his Facebook page Thursday a message encouraging people to stick with the Likud.
Temple Activist Yehuda Glick, who shares with Feiglin the objective of allowing Jews to pray on the Temple Mount, also is staying with the Likud instead of following Feiglin to a new party he wants to form.
Feiglin announced on Monday he is leaving the Likud.
Gidon Ariel, a Likud activist for English speakers, wrote Thursday on Facebook,
As you may know, I have been a Likud activist for over ten years, and many of you are members of the Likud because of my efforts.
I have never hidden the fact that my presence in the Likud is not to be a yes-man to anyone, but to defend the Likud's stated values as clarified in its constitution, through supporting activists and MKs who carry that banner, speaking for the party in the media, running for office, and other activities.
I now count hundreds of rank and file members and more than a dozen Central committee members as people who respect my recommendations.
I joined the Likud with Moshe Feiglin, and while I am a close friend of his and his inner circle, they all know that the hundreds of people who I signed up to the Likud over the years are "mine," not "theirs."…
I continue to believe that the best place that a supporter of Eretz Yisrael can make a significant impact is within the Likud.
I am staying in the Likud, I encourage my friends to stay, and if you aren't a member yet, I urge you to consider joining.
Ariel formerly lived in Maaleh Adumim and moved to the community of Maaleh Hever in the southern Hebron Hills two years ago.
Earlier this week, Glick delivered a similar message to Ariel's.
He praised Feiglin's character and philosophy but added he is staying in the Likud "so that the next elections will have a large party representation."
Glick is on an "unrealistic" spot on the Likud party list and recently said he is "running" more for symbolic purposes than with any intent to be elected a Knesset Member.
Feiglin's idea was to sign up thousands of people who used to support the former national religious Mafdal party and form a large block in the Likud, which has said has left its true principles that he represents.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and most senior party leaders never have been happy with Feiglin's presence and have kept him off a realistic place on the Knesset last until the last elections.
In the party primaries last week, they made enough deals to make sure Feiglin would not return to the Knesset.

Where do Ligers Come From?
Irresponsible breeders is the short answer.
A liger is the result of breeding a male lion to a tigress. A tigon is the result of breeding a male tiger to a lioness. Since lions and tigers do not exist in the same areas, this is not something that happens in the wild. It is done in captivity by disreputable carnies to produce a freak that ignorant people will pay to see. These cats suffer from many birth defects and usually die young. Because ligers are usually larger than either parent, it also puts the tigress at great risk in carrying the young and may require C-section deliveries or kill her in the process. When the public quits paying to see these unfortunate creatures, the evil people responsible for breeding them will stop this inhumane practice.
You can stop the abuse. Don't support places, like T.I.G.E.R.S. and Jungle Island, that breed ligers. Bhagavan Antle who calls himself Doc Antle, the person you will most often see promoting this shameful practice, has gone to great lengths to stop us and the brave young girl who created the video at the bottom of the page, from letting you know the truth. Visit her YouTube site HERE and let her know you appreciate what she is doing to prevent the future breeding of ligers and tigons.
When you see ligers in the news or on TV, write the station and let the reporters know the truth about hybrids. You can send 5 letters at once to the media of your choice through our online email system at CatLaws.com
Actually they aren't this dramatic. See real photos of ligers below.
Find out more about Big Cat Rescue's liger and tiger rescue.
Read about the conviction of those involved in canned hunts in the US. They excuse their behavior by making the case that ligers and tigons are not protected by the Endangered Species Act. Now you know why so many of these sleazy back yard breeders are trying to produce more of them.
LIGERS and TIGONS
Video by a Big Cat AdvoCat. Visit her site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKYILLEdy5s
The following story attempts to make it sound like there could be some reason to breed lions and tigers for public amusement, but anyone who cares about animals knows that this is a despicable thing to do because the cats have to spend their lives in deprivation and confinement and are genetically so unhealthy that they usually die young. The ONLY reason anyone breeds ligers is to create a freak that simple minded people will pay to see.
Ligers Make a "Dynamite" Leap Into the Limelight
by: Maryann Mott August 5, 2005
It's half lion, half tiger, and completely real. Now thanks to a cameo in the 2004 cult movie Napoleon Dynamite, the liger has leaped into the limelight, prompting fans to ask, What are they really like?
The faintly striped, shaggy-maned creatures are the offspring of male lions and female tigers, which gives them the ability to both roar like lions and chuff like tigers-a supposedly affectionate sound that falls somewhere between a purr and a raspberry.
Weighing in at about a thousand pounds (450 kilograms) each, they typically devour 50 pounds (23 kilograms) of raw meat in a meal.
"For the most part they're really laid back," said Jason Hutcherson, vice president of Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain , Georgia . "They like to swim and play in the water."
The drive-through wildlife park is believed to have the country's largest concentration of ligers, housing ten of the massive cats.
Since 1999 the park has bred its male lion and female tiger many times, producing about 24 cubs.
Not all of them have been healthy, though.
"We've had 3 out of 24 that, for all practical purposes, were normal but developed as they grew older some kind of neurological disorder," Hutcherson said.
Autopsies didn't reveal what caused the cubs to develop "head shakes," so park staff "chalked it up to a genetic defect," Hutcherson said.
Accredited zoos frown on the practice of mixing two different species and have never bred ligers, says Jane Ballentine, a spokesperson for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, based in Silver Spring , Maryland.
"Keeping the two species separate has always been standard procedure," she said.
Wild Ligers?
Long before fans heard Napoleon claim that the liger is "pretty much my favorite animal," there have been rumors of the hybrid's existence in the wild.
Lion-tiger mating occurs in captivity. But it does not happen in the wild, probably for the same reason humans do not breed with gorillas or chimps.
"Crossing the species line" does not generally occur in the wild, because "it would result in diminished fitness of the offspring," said Ronald Tilson, director of conservation at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.
Geography is another obstacle to natural lion-tiger mating. Wild tigers mainly inhabit Asia, whereas the lion's current natural habitat is almost entirely in Africa.
The Gir National Forest in India is the only place in the world where tiger and lion ranges overlap, fueling speculation that wild ligers roamed the area hundreds of years ago.
Tilson doesn't believe it.
"This would be highly improbable, because the Gir forest is really very dry and not optimal tiger habitat," he said.
A Liger Named Patrick
Perched on the edge of the Mojave Desert near Los Angeles , California , a lone liger, named Patrick, lives at Shambala Preserve, which bills itself as "a haven for endangered exotic big cats."
"The interesting thing about these animals is that they have the best qualities of the tiger and the best of the lion," said movie actress and conservationist Tippi Hedren, who has run Shambala since 1972. "Those qualities manifest themselves in the fact that they like to be in the water [a tiger trait] and are very social [a lion trait]."
Many of the cats at the 80-acre (32-hectare) sanctuary are orphans or castoffs from circuses, zoos, and private owners who could no longer care for the animals.
Patrick arrived at the sanctuary seven years ago after federal authorities shutdown the roadside zoo in Illinois where he lived.
The 800-pound (360-kilogram) liger was kept in such a small cage that his hind-leg muscles had started to atrophy, said Hedren, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
Patrick's compound at Shambala allows him plenty of room for exercise. A stream runs through his compound, so his tiger half can play in the water or his lion half can stay out of it, whichever he chooses.
Liger in the Hills
Spirit of the Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in Spearfish, South Dakota , recently acquired a liger named Samson and 48 other big cats after federal authorities closed a Minnesota wildlife facility.
"Everyone who comes wants to see Samson," said Trevor Smith, an environmental biologist and sanctuary board member.
The four-and-a-half-year-old hybrid tips the scales at over a thousand pounds (over 450 kilograms), and eats 30 to 50 pounds (14 to 23 kilograms) of raw meat every other day.
"Samson is really picky. He'll only eat beef, elk, and venison," Smith said. "We try and feed him chicken, like the other animals, but he won't touch it. He'll let it rot in the sun."
The sanctuary-whose mission is to educate people about wild animals and emphasize that they don't make good pets-has seen a surge in visitors since Samson's arrival in June.
Much of the public's curiosity about the liger stems from Napoleon Dynamite, Smith said.
Smith worries that Samson is "becoming too much of a freak show."
If Samson had his way, Smith said, he'd sleep away the day inside, away from public view.
"We've had a huge ethical debate at the sanctuary on whether or not we should lock him out of his shed," Smith said. "But at the same time, he's why the visitors are coming."
Tigons and Ti-tigons
A tigon is the product of a male tiger and female lion. They receive growth inhibitor genes from both parents and so are smaller than either of them. They show much the same coloration of ligers except they sometimes have more distinct stripes. As with ligers the females are fertile whereas the males are sterile. They have the same vocalizations as liger, a sort of cross between lion and tiger. Ti-tigons speak tiger. Tigons are now rarer than ligers, but in the late 1800's/early 1900's tigons were more common.
Meet our past liger friend Freckles
This lion and tiger had been raised together for the bad purpose of creating ligers. The female was spayed and the male got a vasectomy upon arrival to Big Cat Rescue to ensure there would be no "accidents."
Ligers in the News
Big Cat Rescue does not condone the breeding of ligers. These news stories are posted so that you can help us educate people as to why it is cruel to breed ligers and tigons.

Those are all different breeds, not different species (except the equid references).

"for the same reason humans do not breed with gorillas or chimps."
It is impossible for humans to interbreed with simians. A more accurate analogy is white and black people interbreeding and producing mullatos, but it's racist to criticise that.

I learned :') worth it.
Glenna T-j on August 28, 2013 at 5:46 pm
People have been doing it to dogs and cats for hundreds of years… for example, a Shar Pei must have a C-section because the pups are bred to have large heads; so large, she can't give natural birth. I'm all for protecting Tigers and Lions, don't get me wrong. And this does need to stop. I just wanted to point out, that it is no more cruel than what we do to our best furry friends in our homes.

Jonathan Thomas on August 16, 2013 at 9:23 pm
wow I almost cried when I saw the video. It's a terrible thing when people forcibly make some special kind of breed only for profit and experimentation. I learned that Ligers AND Tigons are a very serious matter. I never knew how tigress' could die of childbirth. Wow it's more about how ligers look, but it's their life that really counts.
PS: Anyone know the beautiful piano music in "Ligers: A Cruelty Unveiled"?
Shellz Bellz on July 23, 2013 at 8:40 pm
MMM Well I thought these animals were stunningly beautiful and I would of paid top dollar to see them close up. I would of been in the front row watching them but now after seeing this Video that's has all changed Well done to the lady who made it.. She definitely change my outlook on these BIG Cats… SO now I need to know "Why do they keep breeding these Cats cant they be stopped" as this is Animal Cruelty, if what she is saying is correct, all the defects in these Cats should be enough for animal welfare groups to pounce on them all. Next thing we will all be having Designer Babies scary stuff alright.
PJ Grima on June 22, 2013 at 4:09 am
It should be noted that big cats (like all cats) are stimulation ovulators. What this means, is that while the female goes into heat whenever their cycle normally dictates, they do not ovulate (release eggs) unless stimulated by certain events in the act of mating, meaning that the animals in question have to both first be amicable to the mating (a female that wants none of it could easily fend of a male, even in the case of tigons). Artificial insemination is not possible with big cats, other wise it would be far easier for zoos to bring their numbers back up. That being said, it is irresponsible for those who know of the possibility of cross-breeding to have tigers and lions (or any multiple species mixes for that matter) in the same pens together and not have them neutered or spayed. If the intention of having multiple animals in one pen is breeding, it should only be with members of the same species, so as build up numbers (they ARE endangered after all).
There are a few 'facts' in the is articular which I believe may be less well researched than the author thinks, despite good intentions.
Moni Chea on June 19, 2013 at 5:04 pm
While I am oppose to the commercial breeding of this animal or any animal for the sole purpose of sport/entertainment, I find this article questionable despite the good intentions. The liger is a hybrid that is NOT born sterile which is highly unusual for hybrid species produced in captivity which leads many scientists to believe that there was a possibility at one time long ago when geography and man was not an obstacle for these animals to breed. It isn't uncommon in evolutionary cycles for animals of subspecies to breed for survival. It should also be noted that hybrids…mutts in general tend to be HEALTHIER because of the varied gene pool. Just look at purebred dogs and cats and the genetic health risks that come along with many of the breeds. As for the existing ligers, they should definitely be protected by law. But seeing the near extinction of both tiger and lion species in the future, perhaps we can learn something from ligers after all.

Marilyn Kaye Muma-Reid, this is a long article, but it has some good info about ligers.

Judging by this article. This situation is quite serious. Why on earth are people so stupid to breed tigers and lions together even for "commercial" purposes or any purpose is ridiculous. It's a good thing you are encouraging a clamping down on this practice and repudiating it.

some zoos did it on accident in fact they kept them alive just out of seeing what would happen.

Lewis, I can understand IF it was an accident, but usually it is done delibrately in most cases. To prevent the accident, the zoo shouldn't be so careless.

They are indeed amazing animals but in the end they are hybrids. I find the practice of breeding them appalling. See here: http://www.ligerfacts.org/Liger-and-Animal-Cruelty.html.
What do you think about it?
