More: You have admitted to abusing drugs.
WW: Yes. It is all a part of the cleanup. You take a long hard look in the mirror and say, "You have so much potential—don't waste it." I was raised in a loving household in New Jersey. I had so many advantages that people don't particularly have. A black woman, I had two parents who are not only college graduates but have master's degrees. My older sister is an attorney and my brother is a schoolteacher. I mean, I was raised in a solid middle-class lifestyle and yet here I was screwing it all up with a drug habit.
More: Many people might think, how did a kid who grew up in such a positive household get hooked on drugs?
WW: Access. I grew up in Ocean Township, New Jersey, where there were plenty of drugs. When you ask why did I do it, the answer is, because I could get away with it.
More: After the passing of Whitney Houston, you were quoted as saying, "It's been almost 15 years since I smoked last from a crack pipe and it's been almost 15 years since I waited on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx for my drugs."
WW: Yes, that was my reality.
More: Did something happen that encouraged you to get clean and sober?
WW: I just looked in the mirror one day and decided I wanted more for myself, so I stopped. I decided I didn't want that lifestyle anymore. I just stopped and never looked back.
More: Just like that?
WW: I have never been tempted to go back, and yes, I know I will always be labeled as that. I am fine with all of that. The more of us who get clean and pass the message, maybe the more people will follow in our footsteps and get healthy too.
More: Because kids learn so much from the Internet, have you shared your history with your son so he gets it from you and not from downloading a published report?
WW: My son knows the score with me. My husband and I sit and talk to him. We don't give him more information than he can handle. If he comes to us with questions we give him a straight answer. When I talk to him about drugs, I tell him there is no way he will be able to pull one over on me if he tries them, because I did it and will be two steps ahead of him in terms of what to look for.
More: I read somewhere you said, "That is a period I can now laugh about." Can you explain why this is now a laughing matter?
WW: The drugs are sad, but some of the antics and the time I sat waiting in my car or standing at a pay phone are comical to me. I remember being paranoid, which to me is now dark humor. Look, you have to find the humor in your escapades and know that is not the same person.
More: You are also being an advocate, encouraging people to steer away from drugs.
WW: I have spoken to many people about the perils of being caught up in addiction. I would love to be a national spokesperson for "Just Say No." I want someone from Washington to call me up and point me in the direction they need me to go. Look, drugs are not a black thing or a white thing. They destroy anybody and everybody who uses them!
More: What do you see when you look in the mirror?
WW: With no ego being involved, just a woman who knows the struggles she went through to get to where she is today, I am very proud of myself. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my career, I am proud of the relationship I have with my mother and father. I am a responsible member of my community, I am a devoted wife and mother, and through it all I got people laughing. I really feel like a survivor, so no matter what you throw out at me, I will survive it!
More: I read a report that stated Howard Stern has been labeled the King of All Media while Wendy Williams has been labeled the Queen of All Media.
WW: Isn't that fabulous? I'll take it. (laughs)
The Wendy Williams show will begin airing new episodes on September 10.

[8 September 1843]
Dearest Geraldine
In case that Mazzini do not have the sense to write himself; "this comes hopping," merely to inform you that that the M.S. is safe1—and that so far as I could judge from looking into it here and there reads flowlingly—seems really cleverly done—how could it miss considering the Artist?—
It is sent to Forster I guess by this time and god grant it may finally get itself printed for its case has been one of infinitely more hardship than the celebrated one of Giles Scroggins2—
For the rest—you must live in hope—positively I will send you a yardlong letter very speedily but not this day— My Brother in law—who, in spite of the new reading of him at Seaforth, is, has been, and will ever be for me an insupportable bore—prescribed to me last evening—quite medically—a doze of amusement— he even condescended so far as to administer the doze himself—we went together to the Surry gardens3—to see wild beasts—!and tame ones—and today I am entirely knocked up,—indeed I returned from the place so ill as I have not been for weeks—
Be patient then my little girl— I cannot even tell you now "when I shall be in Manchester because as how—I do not know when my people will come back to Liverpool4— I do however religiously mean to be there this autumn
How beautifully written your M.S. was—
Do you hear if that untidy Mudie be improving anything?— I was sure that the creature had very slatternly tendencies— I have had no recent application from the Moth[er]5
Bless you my child / Affectionately yours

Snow in Douglas County is like a Super Bowl game because unlike Brook Benton's back-in-the day hit song, "Rainey Night in Georgia," it rarely snows in the County of Douglas Georgia. And the problem in Georgia is not so much the snow, but the moisture that produces sheets of frozen ice that makes driving impassable and hazardous. In 2011 Georgia residents witnessed a crippling impact as a winter storm blanketed Metro Atlanta. Roads were treacherous, to the extent that it threatened Georgia's inauguration of the newly elected governor. However, Nathan Deal, Georgia's 82nd governor was sworn in, but the event was held indoors opposed to the steps of the Gold Dome.
Nevertheless, on Tuesday, January 28, 2014, the governor faced another episode of the impact of a winter snow storm and declared a state of emergency for 159 counties in Georgia due to weather conditions.
January 2014 forecasts indicated a winter storm watch; meteorologist, local and national weather advisors alerted Georgians to be prepared for 0.5 to 2 inches of snow. The National Weather Service upgraded the prediction to a Winter Storm Warning a little after 3:38 a.m., Tuesday, January 28th, stating the storm was headed to the Atlanta metro area. Governor Deal stuck to his agenda that included photo opps and an executive order for state departments to close early, a banquet at the Ritz Carlton honoring influential Georgians that included the governor's introduction of Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Warnings were issued well in advance, but there were some wrong calls. An additional wrong call was posted on the Douglas County School System website, "We are monitoring the situation." It also stated that school was scheduled for a regular day. Wrong call. Governor Nathan Deal stated, in the aftermath, "…We have been confronted with an unexpected storm that has hit the metropolitan Atlanta area." Wrong call.
In all due respect Governor Deal, this was not unexpected. Local and National Weather Advisors appropriately updated weather status. After responses from Local and National Weather Services, Governor Deal said he was not satisfied with the state's response to the winter storm. He adamantly said, " The buck stops with me."
The Superintendent of Douglas County School System, Gordon Pritz, also made a wrong call by not releasing students from school earlier or taking heed to the advised weather warnings and canceling school. Superintendent Pritz, offered his, "Sincere apology for the mistake made in not dismissing school earlier in the day, or altogether, on the 28th.
Hopefully, this experience will foster more inclusive and appropriate collaborative resolves that will lead to strategic and significant changes and approaches if and when we face another Winter Storm Warning.

Chapter 1 : Switch
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
"Want to come to the ball with me?"
"All right then." *
George was annoyed. No, he was more than annoyed.
Pissed off would be a better term.
He grumbled and stalked off to his dorm. As soon as he got there, he collapsed on his bed and pulled the curtains shut.
Why did Fred do that?!
He knew that he wanted to take Angelina out! He knew that he always fancied Angelina! And he still asked her to the ball!
What type of person does that?!
George rolled over and punched his pillow in a more comfortable position.
He heard the door open and then, "George? Where'd you go?"
It was Fred. The traitor. George didn't reply and Fred sighed.
"Come on, Georgie. What's wrong? Open up your curtains, you git."
George couldn't take being silent for so long (it had nearly been ten minutes!) and wrenched the curtains open.
"I'm the git?" he asked incredulously.
"No, the other George in your bed," Fred said with a grin.
George didn't laugh and glared at his brother. "What's wrong?"
"Do you really need to ask?" George asked.
Fred sighed and sat down next to him. "Yeah, sorry. That was a Percy move."
"Pfft, as if Percy could get a girl," George snorted.
Fred laughed, "He did get that one girl once. What's her name? P-something?"
"Penelope," George supplied with a grin. "Still don't know how he did it."
"Maybe he enchanted her with his shiny badge that said 'Bighead Boy'?"
George laughed and then abruptly stopped. "You're still a git for doing that though," he scowled at Fred.
"I know, I'm sorry. It was either her or Hermione and I'm not too sure Ron would appreciate that."
"They still got a few years before they get together," George said.
"Just because that's your bet doesn't mean it's right!" Fred said stubbornly.
"Course it does. I'm the smarter one."
"And I'm the better looking one."
George snorted, "If that helps you sleep at night, bro."
Fred nodded and then his eyes lit up excitedly. "I'll tell you what we do! We'll switch! I take your date to the ball and you take mine! How does that sound?!"
George nodded slowly and then faltered. "I don't have a date though."
"We'll find you one! Ask Katie?"
"I think she's already got a date," George said with a grimace.
"Alicia?" Fred suggested.
George shrugged and said, "Yeah, if you're cool with taking her?"
Fred shrugged as well. "I'm fine with whatever. Unless they're a male, I won't be cool with that."
George laughed and then got off the bed. "Well, I'm off to find Alicia. Do you have the map – oh wait, we gave it to Harry. Gotta do it the long way then."
"She's in the common room," said Fred helpfully.
George shot him a thumbs up and walked back down to the common room where Alicia was doing her homework. George sat down next to her and said, "What're you doing homework for? It's nearly break!"
"Sprout wants this in before the end of school, so we don't have holiday homework."
"Shoulda dropped it," George said wisely. "Then you wouldn't have any homework."
Alicia laughed and nodded. "True, so why did you come down and bother me then?"
"Want to go to the ball?" he asked casually. "Heard you were free."
She nodded. "Sure, why not?"
He grinned and said, "Great. I'll leave you to it then."
She smiled and waved. "G'night George."
"Night, Alicia." He walked back up where Fred was waiting on his bed, looking at their ideas for the shop.
"How'd it go?" Fred asked, not looking up.
"Great. You got a date," he grinned at him and Fred grinned back.
"It's gonna be fun, George."
"That it will, Fred."
"Alright, so whatever you do, don't go to Alicia. Go only to Angelina."
George rolled his eyes. "I know, Freddie. I'm not stupid."
"Your O.W.L's beg to differ."
"You got the same bloody results as me!" George said, shaking his head at his brother's foolishness.
Fred laughed. "Just testing you. Wanna go now?"
George nodded and they trotted down the stairs where Alicia and Angelina were sitting on the sofa, giggling.
"I hate it when they giggle," Fred muttered. "It's like they're planning something."
"And we aren't?" George raised his eyebrows and Fred grinned wickedly.
"Evening, ladies," George said, clapping his hands together. "Angelina, shall we?"
She blinked and nodded with a big grin on her face. "You look beautiful," George shot her a grin.
"Thanks. You look good too." George nodded his head in thanks and they headed out the common room to the Great Hall.
George heard Fred talking to Alicia and so George engaged in a conversation with Angelina.
She replied easily and George found it incredibly easy to talk to her. He'd talked to her but usually it was always about Quidditch.
Of course it was referenced quite often, but their conversations weren't dominated by how much of a prat Oliver was.
They ate and George noted with pleasure she wasn't going for those tiny salads some of the French girls were having. She had a proper meal and ate all of it, not complaining once.
George noticed his younger brother glaring at Victor Krum so he whispered to Fred, "Look at ickle Ronniekins."
Fred looked over and cracked a wicked grin. "Ooh, Ronnie's a bit jealous I see."
George laughed and Fred said, "Oh God, its Percy the Prat."
"What's he doing here?" George asked bewilderedly.
"Probably chasing after Crouch."
"Wonders if he knows his name yet," George said, not bothering to hide his grin. Fred laughed and resumed talking to Alicia.
"My brother's boss doesn't know his name. Keeps calling him Weatherby," George said to Angelina, watching her laugh with a grin of his own.
"Poor thing, how long has he been working with him?" she asked, glancing at Percy with a stifled laugh.
"Dunno. It was sometime in summer. So probably more than half a year," George shrugged.
She nodded and was about to say something but the champions were called out the front to dance. After the first song (during which Harry stumbled many times much to George and Fred's amusement), the teachers were called out. Finally they started allowing other students to join.
"Care to dance?" George asked Angelina, who nodded and stood up excitedly.
They got on the dance floor and they started to tango to the slow classical music. George twirled her around and she laughed happily.
He dipped her down and when lifted her back up, her eyes were glinting with humour.
"George, you may as well stop now. I know it's you."
His mouth dropped open, but he quickly recovered. "What gave it away?"
"Give me a break. I've known you for six years, we can both tell the difference."
George grinned and said, "So Alicia knows too?"
"Of course she does, we discussed it when we went to the loo together."
"Ahh, the loo, it's where all the secrets are revealed."
Angelina laughed. "That's true. Can I tell you a secret?"
"But we aren't in a loo," George said, winking. Angelina rolled her eyes and he grinned. "Go ahead."
"I'm actually really glad you and Fred decided to switch. I wanted to go with you, but you never asked," she said as he twirled her around.
"Really?" George asked, with a smile.
She nodded and George said, "Yeah, I got annoyed at Fred and he came up with the plan to switch. I was going to ask you, I just didn't know when."
Angelina laughed and the two kept tangoing to the upbeat party music. They were both awful at it but they were having fun.
"George, can I ask you something?"
"Already did," George winked at her again.
She shot him a look and George nodded. "Sure, Angelina, the prettiest girl here, what did you want to ask me?"
"That's better," she said with a blush, whether it was from heat or embarrassment, George didn't know. "Do you fancy me or am I just going to be a date for this ball?"
"I fancy you," he said, not caring about if he sounded like a sap or not. He liked Angelina; he may as well say it.
She grinned and said, "Phew, I don't think I would have been able to face you if you said you just wanted me as a date."
George rolled his eyes and said, "Well I'm not saying that. So should we go sneak out?"
She grinned mischievously. "Definitely."
George knew in that moment he had found the right girl.
so... this is the first thing I've ever written in Hogwarts era!
I've read heaps of things how people don't think George/Angelina are a good couple but I've always thought they'd be cute together and this plot bunny just attacked me so I had to write it.
And you guys don't know how hard it was to write George annoyed at Fred, so you better appreciate it! ;) But seriously, I struggled so much, so if anyone ever wants to write a Fred and George story, bear that in mind! :p
Anyways, tell me how you all liked it :) or disliked it, just a review would be helpful :)

This one's pretty simple. If the Royals are going to compete, they need Mike Moustakas to step up and become a legitimate power bat in the middle of the lineup. When the Royals drafted Moose in the first round of the 2007 draft, all we heard about was the kind of power he would have. The phrase "light tower power" was thrown around without hesitation. The reviews in the minors were mixed, but a huge 2010 season in AA and then AAA got Royals fans excited for the power bat who was going to provide something the Royals had been sorely lacking over the years. He was expected to be the first of the young position players to make it to the big leagues, but was lapped by Eric Hosmer.
You all know what happened when Moustakas was called to the big leagues. He homered in his first series, but was absolutely terrible from that point until the light clicked in late August/early September. Moustakas will never be a guy who will walk too terribly often, but he's also the rare power hitter who doesn't figure to strike out a ton. That will lead to some wide variants in his batting average through the years, but the Royals don't need him to hit .300. They need him to hit 25-35 homers. To compete in 2012, Mike Moustakas needs to be that power bat in the middle of the order who can hit the three run homer and put games out of reach. That would be huge.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando Area ReStore will officially open the doors to its third Central Florida retail facility – the largest in Central Florida – on Saturday, Jan. 18.
Located at 1649 Florida Mall Blvd. in South Orlando, the store will offer gently used household goods and building materials, including home décor, appliances, furniture and hardware. Proceeds from store sales fund Habitat's mission of providing affordable housing for low-income families.
"In addition to assisting our overall mission at Habitat, the items that we divert from landfills make a tremendous impact on the environment," said Tom May, director of retail operations for all three Habitat of Greater Orlando ReStores.
"In 2012, more than 1.5 million pounds – or 750 tons – of usable household items were kept out of Central Florida landfills because of donated goods.
Susie Martin of Orlando said she has shopped at the Habitat ReStrores on many occasions. "The one in College Park on Orange Blossom Trail is a favorite but have also made purchases at one up by Longwood just off 17-92 and on E. Colonial," she said.
"I've found some great deals." Martin also said that there are many items that cannot be found at other resale shops, including repair materials and she likes the fact that the proceeds are used to build homes for those in our community who need them.
In recognition of the completion of Habitat of Greater Orlando's first multi-family community, the interior will resemble the townhomes from Stag Horn Villas. In addition to mirroring the bright colors of the neighborhood, the offices and meeting rooms feature a facade that is "under construction," complete with volunteers (mannequins) still working on the roofs.
Winter Park-based HGR Construction is donating its time to build the 24,000 square-foot facility.
The store is still accepting individual and corporate donations, which can be made directly to the ReStore.
Donations can also be scheduled for pick-up at no charge. For more information, visit http://www.orlandorestore.org/ or call the donor hotline at (407) 426-7859.

Gettin a grip
Reviewer: A viewer from Auburn, GA US
I bought three of these vises for some tying classes Im going to teach.The price is about to hard to belive.My first look at them in the box was hey this dosent look to bad.After setting one up and tying a few flies I said hey dosent look to bad.Hey this is a great vise for the person just wanting to see if they might want to take this hobby a little further.No is not a rotory but hey it is $6.95 and is well built.Great starter vise. Catch ya later
Beginners only.
Reviewer: A viewer from Corvallis, OR US
This is an excellent first vise for the beginner to fly tying. It certainly gets the job done, and alleviates a big portion of the beginning cost for getting started in the hobby. After a while, though, you will definatly want to upgrade to a more adjustable, more feature-filled vise.
Good price for a beginner vice
Reviewer: A viewer from Fulton, MO US
I used these for a fly tying class with children ages 10-13. The vice was somewhat cumbersome to use. The most difficulty the children had was getting everything tightened down well. The only design flaw I noticed was that the post rocks back and forth as you tie. It doesn't get supported enough to keep steady. It served its purpose, and didn't get in the way of us tying lots of flies, though. I would buy them again.
Not bad
Reviewer: A viewer from Midland, TX US
I just started tying and this vise works, does it rotate? no, does it have a nice base? no but what it is is one of the best starter vises I have come across for an amazing price. I highly recommend this vice for any beginner.

Napa Valley establishments getting hip to YouTube?
We popped on to YouTube late last night and ran a quick search for "Napa Valley" as we've been known to do from time-to-time. To our surprise, the search returned significantly more content than in previous attempts.
Sure, there were certainly the usual random people doing restaurant reviews, but we also found a number of slick, professionally produced videos that appear to serve as infomercials for various local establishments, including La Toque, Vintage Inn and Duckhorn Vineyards, among others. The videos, which were all added to YouTube one week ago, are produced by a company called C2B Productions and many feature Miss Hip Taster and new author Courtney Cochran.
It's quite interesting to see more and more local establishments getting hip to YouTube–video is certainly an engaging and entertaining way to build brand awareness and online buzz. That said, for our taste, we'd love to see less of the infomercial-type stuff and more genuine, straight-talk in such videos (take a lesson from Gary V. or even Justin.tv)
Here's an example of what the highly-produced videos look like–this one is about Paraduxx:

Challenge Targets Awarded Contract at Tactical Defense Institute
Ft. Thomas, Ky. - Challenge Targets was recently awarded the contract to update the main lower range at Tactical Defense Institute in West Union Ohio. The new shooting range equipment is scheduled for installation later this month and will include (12) new torso shape steel targets.
These shooting targets are made from through hardened AR500 plate. The shape is precision laser cut to minimize heat and preserve the hardness of the steel. The plates are mounted using hardened carriage bolts, die springs and nylon lock nuts. This combination of hardware minimizes fatigue and reduces the risk bullet fragments splashing back toward the shooter.
"After a full season of testing, Challenge Targets product showed no cracking or stress problems that were encountered with the welded products provided by other manufacturers." John Motil – TDI Facilities Manager.
John Benner and the team at TDI offer a wide range self-defense and firearms training courses. They are one of the most respected and well know training facilities in the United States and we are very proud to be selected for this project.
About Challenge Targets
Challenge Targets LLC is a privately held company incorporated in 2009. Our founder, Brad Brune is a recreational shooter who recognized the need for more innovative and affordable shooting targets.
After two years of design, customer feedback, and rigorous testing, we introduced our first two Patent Pending designs in April of 2011. Feedback on the intital products has been outstanding and within the first year of business, our targets are being used by SWAT teams, Law Enforcement Agencies, FBI, private shooting ranges, and recreational shooters in twenty-two states and three countries.

On the 8th, North Korea held a meeting of the expanded Central Committee Politburo, during which a resolution was passed relieving Jang Sung Taek of all his posts. Now the North Korean people are officially aware that Jang has been dismissed for opposing Kim Jong Eun's policy, and the specific nature of the revelations is causing widespread shock.
In particular, the dismissal of Jang, who was supposed to be assisting the young Kim Jong Eun in his rise to power, is raising concerns among the people that the North Korean regime could become unstable.
A source from North Hamkyung Province told Daily NK earlier today, "This rumor has been doing the rounds that people near Jang Sung Taek were executed, and people have been wondering whether Jang would be done away with, too. Now the whole city is reeling at the details of Jang's expulsion that they showed on Chosun Central Television and put in Rodong Sinmun."
"Jang Sung Taek is a familiar face for people, and one of the most trusted as well. He watched over the Marshal (Kim Jong Eun), and is even his uncle. People thought that if there were ever to be a problem within the Party Jang Sung Taek would play a big role, so the fact that he has been disposed of in a purge like this is causing great discomfort."
"People say that they thought[Kim Jong Eun's] political style was a bit different from his father's, but he's no different; just like his father, if he feels threatened he is even prepared to attack his family,'" the source said.
"We assumed that the captain of the Kim Jong Eun regime was Jang, and that the young and inexperienced Kim Jong Eun was getting a lot of political advice from his uncle.There is now the rumor that this incident occurred because Jang went against the orders of Kim on economic reform," he added. In fact, today's Rodong Sinmun denunciation of Jang's actions contains this information.
A second source added, "Upon hearing the news about Jang's close associates being executed, even women with no interest in politics are talking about how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and Kim Jong Eun truly is his father's son. Kim Jong Il also ruthlessly executed his own family [Kim Song Ae] when it got in his way."
The source predicted, "From now on the Party bulletin [RodongSinmun] will strengthen the case against Jang Sung Taek, and there will be lectures and meetings about it. In Party and workers' organizations and People's Units, this will be generalized to try and halt ideological drift and internal instability."

> Home Equity
If you walk through your neighbourhood this time of year, you're bound to notice a fringe of icicles hanging from many roof edges. And if you live in southern Ontario, that fringe may be four to six feet long. While beautiful and festive-looking, icicles are often a sign of structural problems with your home and may indicate that your roof is being damaged.
Here is some information on what leads to icicle formation, what damage ice buildup can cause and how to deal with the problem.
Ice damming understood
"The most prevalent problem -- and it's probably the most misdiagnosed and misunderstood problem -- that plagues homes during the winter time is something called ice damming," says Jeff Clarke, president of Baker Street Home Inspection Services and a certified home inspector. "It's a roofer's worst nightmare, and it's actually not a roofing problem, but roofers get blamed."
Simply put, ice damming is when ice or snow melts, for various reasons, on your roof and then freezes near the overhang when it reaches what's called a cold spot, says Guy Battaglini, an executive member of The Ontario Association of Home Inspectors. Ice and icicles build up at the cold spot as more and more water freezes, forming a dam that blocks water from draining properly.
"As the snow keeps melting towards the ice dam and moving up, it's got nowhere to go but back up the roof," Battaglini says. "And where does it go? Underneath the shingles. And it starts saturating your wood frame member, which covers your roof and which your shingles are nailed to."

Are hedgehogs native to Ireland?
No. Hedgehogs are believed to have been introduced to Ireland by humans, perhaps by the Normans in the 13th century.
Where do hedgehogs live?
Hedgehogs live in woodlands, hedgerows, and gardens. They do not like coniferous woods, high mountains, or wet areas.
Do hedgehogs travel far?
A foraging hedgehog may travel 3km in a night. Within their territory they may have several different places to sleep.
Do hedgehogs hibernate?
Yes. Usually they start to hibernate in October or November, depending on the weather. They may wake up and feed during a mild spell. Or they may sleep through to March or April. A young hedgehog needs to weigh at least 450g to survive hibernation.
When are baby hedgehogs born?
June is the commonest month for babies to be born. The mother makes a big maternity nest, and gives birth to 4 or 5 babies. (And, yes, the spines are soft at birth!) Mother hedgehogs are easily disturbed and may kill or abandon the babies. After 3 weeks the babies start to leave the nest, and by 5 weeks they are weaned.
Do hedgehogs live in groups?
Hedgehogs are solitary for the most part, although their territories may overlap, and they may meet other hedgehogs quite often.
Do hedgehogs make noises?
Oh yes! Hedgehogs snuffle and snort as they forage, and can scream like a banshee when in distress.
What do hedgehogs eat?
Hedgehogs eat all types of bugs - beetles, worms, slugs, earwigs, spiders, etc. They also like eggs, small mammals, and carrion, and will take berries and fruit occasionally.
What eats hedgehogs?
Few creatures can get through the hedgehogs prickly armour, but badgers can. Where there are many badgers, like in Glendalough, there are few or no hedgehogs. Foxes also eat the odd hedgehog.
What else kills hedgehogs?
Cars are the greatest killer of hedgehogs. Pesticides such as slug pellets also poison many poor hedgehogs. Some hedgehogs get speared with a garden fork, or burnt, as they hide in piles of garden rubbish. Steep sided cattle grids or garden ponds are also lethal; always provide an escape ramp for hedgehogs.
How long do hedgehogs live?
Life in the wild can be tough, and 3 years is considered an average life span, but some lucky survivors can live as long as 10 years.
Are hedgehogs protected?
Yes. If you want to keep one in captivity for some reason (because is it ill, perhaps), you must apply to the National Parks and Wildlife Service for a license. You can not sell a hedgehog.
If I see a hedgehog wandering around in daylight, is it ill?
Very possibly. Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so any found wandering in daylight may be ill and may require help.
Can I feed a hedgehog in my garden?
Yes. Canned cat food is the ideal snack for a tame hedgehog. Do not feed bread and milk. The milk is not digestible and may make the poor hedgehog very ill.

Much to my delight, and that of my hard-working colleagues, I was elected to St Albans City and District Council last week. Exciting for its own sake, but also because I'm the first Green Party Councillor here.
Without the support of a party group on the Council, I have relied on Council officers for my introduction so far to life at the Council. But I've also had some friendly conversations with experienced councillors from other parties. It may seem strange, but everyone is not at each other's throats the whole time. After the tension and hard work of election time, there is a palpable release, and those who still have their seats after the event have a sense of camaraderie and shared desire to get on with the coming year's business.
I've had a stack of paperwork to read, and countless emails. And casework from residents, both within my ward and beyond, has already started to come in. I've got tours and meet and greet sessions at the Council, as well as more formal training.
People sometimes think District Councillor is a full time paid job. It isn't. The idea is that you do it in your spare time, so most of the meetings are in the evening. There's no pay, but there is an 'allowance', to go towards your expenses and any lost income as a result of doing council business. Like many companies these days, you don't actually claim for your expenses, you get a flat amount. For most councillors this equates to roughly £100 a week.
Next week is the first Full Council meeting, when the new mayor gets elected and the new administration formally starts. After that, the fun really starts.

Re: How long can I go?Sun, January 24, 2010 - 2:03 AMI can only speak about my own experience. I tied mine half an hour and I still have them. But be careful each person can react differently. Anyway, after a certain time it's hurt so much that you'll decide to stop and free your balls. Listen to your body.
Re: How long can I go?Mon, March 22, 2010 - 12:12 PMI went 65 minutes with green bands one time and found the pain was to much so I took them off. Didn't seem to have any affect on them but I was hoping to kill them so be careful if you still want them when you are done.
Re: How long can I go?Mon, March 22, 2010 - 3:41 PMIf they start to smell like they are rotting, then I wouldn't leave them tied up for more than a day or two longer.
Re: How long can I go?Sat, August 7, 2010 - 3:05 AMDefine Too damaged. I think you should leave them tied till they are black and cold as ice, then go to the emergency room to have them removed. But then I like to see guys make themselves eunuchs, or watch a woman do it for them.
Re: How long can I go?Tue, February 17, 2015 - 1:27 PMCan I be your friend. maybe you could tie mine up and keep me from uniting them till I have to go to the Emergency. Maybe tie me down, or kick my nuts once they are nice and secure! :-)

Re: How long can I go?Sat, August 21, 2010 - 5:22 AMfrom: wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Elastrator
An elastrator is a castration device that cuts off circulation to the testicles when utilized, called "elastration." An elastrator basically stretches a strong rubber band over the scrotum and above the testicles. When the band is secured, the testicles are tightly tied off at the base of the scrotum and allowed to die from lack of blood. This process can take up to six or more hours, but in some people, irreversible damage may occur within the first hour of applying the band.
Those who have successfully utilized this method report that the pain is agonizing for the first twelve hours, but after that, the feeling dulls until the testicles are entirely dead. At this point, the entire scrotum and testes can be cut off below the band without any pain or bleeding. The band is left on until the area is healed enough to hold together on its own. This method of castration is commonly done on farms and is also the method favored by home (DIY) and BDSM practitioners, due to its relative simplicity and safety. An added benefit to this method is that it also removes the scrotum during the process of destroying the testicles. If the scrotum is left on, sepsis (blood poisoning) and infection are very real risks if dry gangrene doesn't set in like it should. On the other hand, if the band is removed too soon after removing the scrotum, major and uncontrollable bleeding is risked.
Re: How long can I go?Sat, August 21, 2010 - 11:11 AMHi,
When i tie my balls i do it with rubber bands.
Mostly i tie my balls upside my cock (for photos see my profile).
I leave t
em on for max 30 minutes.
I release them and mostly go for a second session.
I hope it helped you.
Re: How long can I go?Thu, February 3, 2011 - 7:42 AMI startted few minutes, lets say 8 or 10. Tha maximum that i hace arrived is 30 minutes....and still i have 'attached' my balls. Probably next time i will tray more than 30 minutes.
Re: How long can I go?Fri, February 4, 2011 - 4:30 PMI have gone two hours before my balls started aching and had to stop.
Re: How long can I go?Fri, February 4, 2011 - 4:53 PMI have gone 2 and 3 hours before as well. no ill effects. Cold and dark and numb, but somehow returns to normal :)
Re: How long can I go?Sat, February 5, 2011 - 8:22 AM.wow... i read that 2 or 3 hours is too much! still i do not dare to do that!
Re: How long can I go?Tue, July 26, 2011 - 7:40 PMI use green bands and only leave them on 20 mins at a time no ill effects
Re: How long can I go?Sun, February 8, 2015 - 10:47 PMElastrators are made of very condensed rubber so, they always tends to become more and more compressed.
Obviously if you put a elastrator band around the base of ur scrotum then as its a empty and loose skin area the band will fit very snugly and will tighten itself with every passing minute.
the time taken for real damaging effect of a elastrator depends from person to person and also the time you can keep wearing the band also varies depending on your pain bearing capability.
I hav tried banding my balls to death twice but, i was unsuccessful both the time, First time i could exceed more than 35 minutes and then i had to cut them off.
2nd time i put two bands together obviously it was more tight fit then the earlier time and was more painful comparatively but, i did bear the pain for longer time bcoz, i hink i was prepared in my mind for that pain already.
i even iced my balls for more than 15 mins and that helped too but, after 1 hr 5 mins i couldnt take no more of the excruciating pain so i had to cut the bands.
i am not saying my balls are dead completely but, i hr of banding had its toll. both the balls were black for nearly 3 days and then they began to become normal. i did this thing more than 7 days back and till now i did not get an erection and my sex drive is completely gone..i think my balls are damaged pretty badly but, they will com back to working in some more days i guess.
Re: How long can I go?Mon, February 9, 2015 - 10:04 AMFor those that want more than just kid's toys:
Tri-Bander: For beginners.
XL Bander: For a little more fun.
T1 Bander: For those who really want to know what it feels like.
Callicrate Bander: Can you take it?
For those that want a real treat, watch this video, and then find a willing playmate who will let you use his balls so that you can both see what happens when the release is pulled:
You both are in for an exciting time. But don't leave the band on for more than twenty minutes without mutual agreement.
Re: How long can I go?Tue, February 17, 2015 - 1:34 PMYou seem to really know what your doing, could to do me til my nuts go cold?:-)
Re: How long can I go?Sun, April 19, 2015 - 8:10 AMSo five years later, are you still banding? If so, how long are you leaving it on and have you had any damage to speak of?
Re: How long can I go?Tue, January 19, 2016 - 12:33 AMdepends on how tight and size of balls. i could help you find out.
Re: How long can I go?Mon, January 25, 2016 - 2:11 PMI went 70 minutes once. Was jacked off right before band was cut off - shot a huge load - might have been the best orgasm ever for me.
Balls seem to be just fine. Still very horny!! LOL

10 Serial Killers Who Murdered the Most People
Gary Rideway
Kill Count: 48
This guy is a real ray of sunshine. Gary worked in a truck factory but moonlighted as a prostitute killing necrophiliac. While he was only convicted of 48 murders, he confessed to over twice that many. Gary would go back and have sex with the corpses, which is what finally got him caught after police discovered his DNA on the dead bodies. He was spared the death penalty because he disclosed where his missing victims were.
Alexander Pichushkin
Kill Count: 49
They call this man the chessboard killer. Apparently Alexander was a pretty good kid. Unfortunately he had an accident on a swing set which caused a brain injury. He was sent to live with his grandparents and became obsessed with a game that is grandpa taught him. When Alexander's grandfather died he went into a rage. He'd often videotape his killings and wasn't above going after children. One child was dangled from his legs and dropped on his head from a height of over 15 meters.
Anatoly Onoprienko
Kill Count: 52
I don't want to blame all of these on parenting fails but this story from the Ukraine really makes you wonder. Anatoly was sent to an orphanage while his brother got to stay with the family. Thanks dad. When he grew up, they found over 122 murder weapons in his possession. He finally admitted to the killings claiming the voices in his head made him do it
Andrei Chikalito
Kill Count: 56
Andrei Chikalito, another man with a rosy childhood, was a serial killer from Russia. At least 52 women and children were sexually assaulted, mutilated and murdered. He confessed to 56 murders, went to trial for 53, and was convicted of 52. He was sentenced to death and executed. During his childhood, he was told of a brother who was kidnapped and eaten by starving neighbors before he was born. Chikalito had a younger sister believed to be conceived when his mother was raped by a German soldier.
Yang Xinhai
Kill Count: 67
Yang Xinhai was from a poor family. He enjoyed sharp tools like knives and axes. He would use this set of preferred tools to slaughter entire families.
Ahmed Suradji
Kill Count: 70
Ahmed Suradji was a serial killer from Indonesia. He was a cattle breeder and wannabe wizard. Forty-two women and young girls were killed by him. They ranged from 11 to 30 years of age. His victims were strangled with a cable, after being buried waist deep in the ground. He then buried the victims in a sugar plantation close to his house. His belief was that burying them facing his house was a source of power. In a statement, he claimed his father told him in a dream to kill 70 females and drink their saliva in order to become a mystic healer. He had three wives who were sisters. They were also arrested for aiding in the murders and hiding of the bodies. Suradji was executed by firing squad. Finally, justice.
Pedro Rodrigues Filho
Kill Count: 100
Pedro Rodrigues Filho is another fine example of a stable household. Pedro received a brain injury at the hands of his father who would routinely beat Pedro and his mother. Later in life his girlfriend was killed by a gang. Pedro went on a revenge rampage and tortured and killed the gang members involved. He later killed his father in prison who was there for killing Pedro's mother with a machete. This guy's life story makes the chainsaw massacre look like Bambi.
Pedro Lopez
Kill Count: 110
Pedro came from a household of 13 brothers and sisters. At the age of eight he was kicked out of his house when his prostitute mom caught him fondling one of his sisters. He was taken by a man who repeatedly sodomized him and later morphed in to one of South America's most notorious serial killers. Police found the graves of 53 victims in Ecuador which led to his nickname 'Monster of the Andes'.
Daniel Camargo
Kill Count: 150
It says that Daniel had a distant father who didn't stick up for him when his abusive stepmother went after him. She'd often dress him up in women's clothing for humiliation. Daniel was later engaged to a woman who wasn't a virgin. He agreed to stay with her as long as she helped him find new girls to boink. They obviously got a little carried away.
Luis Garavito
Kill Count: 300
While most of the killers in this list went after women and girls, Luis preferred little boys. He admitted to killing and raping 147 boys but his actual number could have been well over 300. The real shock is that he only received a sentence of 30 years. Fortunately this was extended, and will be indefinitely.

Throughout the day, GoHuskies.com will report the latest signings in this Signing Day Chat. As soon as the Washington coaching staff has received each athletes' LOI and the fax has been verified by the UW Compliance office, we'll report it here FIRST! Only then, are the members of the 2007 class officially HUSKIES!
If you have any comments or questions as we verify LOI's, we welcome you to submit them here. We'll post some of your thoughts and answer as many of your questions as we can.
We'll have updates throughout the entire day; including a 12:00 p.m. interactive chat with UW recruiting coordinator Chris Tormey, live video of Head Coach Tyrone Willingham's press conference at 2:00 p.m. and up to the minute updates of all the activities.
Stay tuned all day to the Husky Signing Day Central!
Congrats on joining the Husky family!!!!
Here is where the official release can be found and where we will have the news first: Official Release
Davenport should provide depth at cornerback, while Ballman should compete for the punting job right away.
Here is the updated list: Official Release
Aloha and congrats to Kelani!!
He's got a great family. His mom is an high school athletic director at another school. His dad played ball at Arizona State. He was a quarterback. It's a great family. Academics mean a lot to them. He's a great person, a tough kid.
We got interested in him early in the spring and got him up here in the summer. He's been a solid commit since July. It's been a pretty smooth process.
Trent Miles on Persley:
He's a great kid and a great, raw athlete. He's only been playing football a couple of years. He was a track guy, a triple jumper. He's got a lot of explosion. His best football is ahead of him. He can run. He's long and lanky. He needs to play the game some more, but J.D. Williams will develop him and he'll have a good chance to contribute.
His family is great. They came up on the visit. Good people. He's a solid, solid person, academically and socially.
Trent Miles on Redlands East Valley Coach Kurt Bruich:
He runs a really top-notch program. You go and watch them practice and it's very organized. He knows what he's doing. He's the son of the "dean" of Inland Empire coaches, the coach at Kaiser High School. He's been groomed to do it and he does a great job. It's fun to deal with him.
Anthony Boyles is in!!! He's No. 25 to be confirmed. Congrats to Anthony!
Another note, not to toot our own horn (TOOT-TOOT), Tormey's chat will mark the first official word from anyone on the Husky coaching staff about the class.
I think the holdups for the rest of the LOI's are administration.
Dr. William Davis, Professor of Government and Faculty Athletics
Representative at Texas Tech University, founded the National Letter of
Intent (NLI) program in 1964.
A common misunderstanding related to the NLI is that the NCAA national
office administers the program. However, in actuality, the Collegiate
Commissioners Association (CCA) has administered the NLI program since
its inception in 1964
Not too sure what policies will be this spring.

Curating Content to Reach your Audiences through Newsletters: Interview with DPT Labs
We recently sat down with Craig Zabodijnk, Marketing Manager for DPT. DPT is a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) providing companies the best solutions to their sterile and non-sterile drug development and manufacturing needs through innovation, technology and service. Craig discussed with us the objectives of the newsletter and why curation was right for their company.
Curata: Tell us a little bit about the objectives of your site – what was the ultimate goal? Who is your target audience?
Craig Zabodijnk: We didn't have much content. The idea of content marketing didn't really exist [For DPT]. People in our industry are hungry for information, good and relevant information. The industry that we market to is very specific. They are specific about what they read from a content consumption standpoint. With curation, we are able to provide our audience with the niche content they crave. Our audience is broad in size, but specific in topic. Our goal with this newsletter is to become the go-to resource for our customers for all their industry news.
Curata: How come you decided to go with content curation over another marketing strategy or original content?
CZ: I wasn't aware of curation initially. We were in the process of laying out a content marketing plan to our internal team and realized we needed a way to communicate with our customer base more effectively. Using curation through Curata, we are able to target specific content within the industry and share that with our reading audience. The ability to find the niche content is great and our open rates for our emails prove it.
Curata: Can you walk us through the curation process? How do you pick the content for the site?
CZ: We started thinking about a monthly newsletter to our customers and using curated content to do it. We identified keywords and focused on finding the technical content we know is out there. Also, we found key publications in the industry and began using those to curate.
Curata: Since you've launched and have been curating, have there been any benefits that you have already seen from this?
CZ: Yes, we're thinking of increasing the frequency of our newsletters but for now, we're enjoying the increase in open rates. Our goal is to become the industry resource for our customers and we're hoping to use curation to get there.
Visit DPT Labs for more information on their work with supplying pharmaceutical companies the support they need.

I am losing it. I want my blog issues to go away and I want some carrot halwa while I'm in a wishful thinking mood. While that's not going to happen soon, please take a moment to fill out this really short survey. It's only four questions but it should be fun to look at the results.

J.J. L'Heureux does it all…painting, photography, collage. This Saturday March 22nd, paintings from L'Heureux's Bergy Bit series will be part of a group show titled "Spectrum-Gestalt."
Presented by bG Gallery, the group show will be held at its new space in Bergamot Station Arts Center. The Bergy Bit Series are abstract paintings inspired by the vast ice fields she has encountered on many of her trips to Antarctica. I had the chance to interview this talented artist.
What inspired you to do the Bergy Bit Series?
We are all familiar with the idea of glaciers, icebergs, snow fields, and hundred of other words descriptive of snow and ice. I traveled to Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia moving from one glacier to the next where they spill out into the Beagle Channel to see the colors of ice. Leaving these ice fields I knew this would become the focus of my next painting series. I continued to Antarctica where the ice came alive to me in ways that transcended its coldness and vastness.
Q: When did you fist start creating them?
A: 2000 after returning from my first expedition to Antarctica where I have return most seasons for 13 expeditions.
Q: You work in several mediums…photography, Bergy Bits, Etichette, Do you tend to complete one first, then move to the next?
A: I go back and forth between them. The Bergy Bit Series takes some time to dry as I like the texture of oil paint.
Q: Can you tell me about your recent expedition?
A: I recently returned from revisiting the historic huts in the Ross Sea. This was my 3rd expedition visiting the huts of Shackleton and Scott in the Ross Sea where I had the opportunity to photograph them. The only light is from a few small windows and each visit enables me to fine tune my thoughts and images. I am always pleased to see wildlife in Antarctica with the albatrosses, orcas families, whales and many species of penguins.
Q: How often do you work on the Bergy Bit Series?
A: Not as often as I would like. Each expedition to Antarctica takes about 6 weeks. Upon returning to my studio I have much to catch up with. With a number of one person exhibitions this year each with reception and talks I have a full schedule for the next 2 years.
Q: Where have your Bergy Bits been shown?
A: "Ice-Thetics: Paintings Inspired by the Ice Fields of Antarctica" at the San Luis Obispo Art Center, California.
Q: Do you have set hours to paint each day/or week?
A: I work everyday. Some days the office work of writing letters, sending images, packing boxes, shipping, getting pieces to the framer and responding to e-mail is all I can think about but once a piece is started I return to painting as often as I can.
Q: Do you find daily circumstance affect the work?
A: Only studio guests when spending the night. I have many "bi-polar" researchers and enjoy showing my warm neighborhood when they travel between the southern and northern polar-regions.
Q: Does your inspiration change with each trip?
A: I would not say my inspiration but my understanding as I experience more of Antarctica with each expedition. With weather making each expedition completely different and every week in polar-regions the wildlife changes as the chicks, pups must mature incredible fast. The ice shelves, glaciers, tongues and bergs are exciting.
Q: What is the # 1 thing that you propels you to paint?
A: I am an artist. From gessoing, mixing a color, making the first brush stroke to deciding the piece is finished. Series evolve, materials change - I am content when in my studio painting.
L'Heureux's photography will be part of an upcoming exhibition at G2 Gallery in April. http://www.jjlheureux.com/ http://www.penguinspirit.com

L'Heureux in a group show titled "Spectrum-Gestalt" opening this Saturday, March 22nd from 6:00 pm -10:00 pm at bG Gallery, at Bergamot Station, (G8A) 2525 Michigan Ave, Santa Monica, 90404.
