He ran Auschwitz but was no typical 'bad guy' Nazi
A woman posted this to a forum I frequent today:
Yesterday afternoon watering my garden and heard a loud voice say "Ya going to keep up with me ya b****d" and i turned around and an old guy was on a mobility scooter going like the clappers and i could hear gagging noise.
So i rushed to fence and this semi-elderly person had a pittyX on a short chain tied to the back of the mobility scooter and dragging the dog along no attempt to slow down and he was hiking full throttle. I yelled at him but he took no notice. So I grabbed my vehicle keys and took off in the vehicle to find him. And a young couple had managed to stop him or at least trying to.
The animal was stressed, panting heavily with bleeding paws. We called the police as we would not let the old chappy go and the dog was padlock to the scooter and short chain padlocked tight to dogs throat and he would not give us the key to release the pressure from the dogs throat. Police turned up, person in question was not arrested, but dog ceased and the young couple took dog to vets. Police took our statements late last night. Animal cruelty case to follow
She added later in the thread that the pup was only about 6 months, and apparently this d-bag had another pup at home, but he'd only had them for 2 days. From the sounds of things, police, SPCA and this woman and the young couple are all intent on seeing it through to court and all so there's a bright side.

The forthcoming DVD release of Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 3 includes a pilot episode previously only available on the bootleg circuit. Apparently a German film collector found a print of this alternate version of the second Star Trek pilot, titled "Where No One Has Gone Before," and brought it to Paramount. Above are some clips from that alternate version of the pilot, which has never officially been released until now. From The Live Feed:
The alternate version is in three parts with 1970s-style act breaks, an entirely different version of Captain James T. Kirk's opening monologue ("But now a new task. A probe out into where no man has gone before") and music that contrasts from the famous opening theme and an extended action sequence.Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 3, Blu-ray (Amazon, thanks Jason Weisberger!)From the (press) release:
This version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was completed in 1965 and features archived footage that was not included in the pilot episode ultimately broadcasted. Never-before-aired, this newly recovered version is believed to be what was originally screened for NBC, and the basis for their decision to broadcast STAR TREK.
UPDATE: From Memory Alpha, more background on this alternative version of the pilot episode:
There is a different, pre-broadcast cut of ("Where No One Has Gone Before") in the archives of the Smithsonian Institution. This unique cut includes a few brief scenes trimmed from the aired cut of the episode, different opening titles, and a unique closing theme. The alternate closing theme can be heard on the GNP Crescendo CD Star Trek: Original Series (Volume 1) "The Cage" / "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The pre-broadcast cut is commercially available only in bootleg form, although it has been screened at numerous conventions. Paul Carr was credited as "Navigator" in the end credits of the original cut. The version on the first season box set may contain the alternate ending theme, but does have the changed credits. This cut will be finally be available commercially on the Season 3 Blu-Ray set.
