Humans misinterpret the signs of sexual maturation during mating season. For differing reasons, both sexes are prone to aggression during mating season. Once it is over, we return to being your loving pet until next year. Not really. If your house can withstand the onslaught of an active two year old that can climb sheer walls, it's probably safe from me.

A well balanced diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean chicken and fish, but very little red meat. A high grade, low ash dog food can be substituted for the chicken/fish component. To Diet Page

Not like a dog or a cat. Once a year in early spring the 'coon's coat "cracks". The dead hair of the winter coat comes out in clumps. In the wild, the den is lined with it to keep the newborns warm.

Yes, but we are willing to negotiate the issue. If you give us our own belongings from the time we are tiny and frequently replace them when we annihilate them, we'll generally agree to leave your things alone.

In general, no, but we do tend to become obese if we are allowed. And those that are obese tend to have heart conditions that significantly shorten their lives.

This is a personal decision. I've known of a family that raised 2 children and 3 raccoons, a squirrel, a cat and two dogs together successfully. You have to assume that at some point the children will be bitten by the pet raccoon. This probably precludes the children from entertaining friends in the home.

First of all, I have an entire article on the earliest literary fairy tales: The Quest for the Earliest Fairy Tales: Searching for the Earliest Versions of European Fairy Tales with Commentary on English Translations. Please don't expect modern day horror stories. We are still talking fairy tales and folklore here. The "gruesome" versions of the tales are not recommended for young readers, but they are not horror movies on paper either.

Absolutely not! BitWise Personal is retaining all of its features, and will continue to receive enhancements in the future. No features were removed from Personal when Plus was released. BitWise Plus adds features that benefit the security-conscious (a.k.a. those with healthy paranoia), and since many users would probably not use the Plus capabilities even if they were available, Personal can hardly be called crippleware.

If the potatoes were stored too cold (below 40 degrees F) then they can turn black. Could also have black bruising from being handled (dropped) when cold.

The greening is exposure to light. This can happen in the fields, or if out on display in the grocery store. This greening tastes bitter so just peel away before cooking.

This is a battle we fight constantly and reports are that raccoon numbers are very high this year. There are several things to try. If you are feeding from your deck, you pretty much have to take you feeders in at night. With any luck, you can get them to move along. If you are feeding from a pole system in your yard the solution is to add a raccoon baffle to your setup. This is not to be confused with a squirrel baffle. Squirrel baffles are too small to keep adult raccoons out.

Adult raccoons may be anywhere from 24 to 40 inches in length (including 8-12 inches for tail) and weigh 14 to 40 pounds depending upon locale (larger raccoons in the north) and sex (males are larger than females). Average is about 3 feet and 25-30 pounds. Captive raccoons can weigh considerably more than their wild neighbors and they have a tendency to obescity. I would venture a safe guess that the male raccoon who weighed a record 62 pounds was not found in the wild.

Raccoons can squeeze through any opening that they can get their head through. Often times, common points of entry are through attic vent louvers and attic fans. You should try to make sure that these openings are either closed (if not in use) or properly guarded by using sturdy metal screen. Learn more about keeping raccoons out of the attic and house.

First, the stories ('Tails') are mainly about the wisdom we humans can gain from listening to our animal friends. Most of the characters are animals, and most animals have tails. Next, I enjoy the play on words - 'Tails' vs 'Tales'. Finally, one of Blanco's biggest lessons to Lars (and you), is that some of the things you've learned (especially concerning history) aren't always true.

I do not have a separate section for Marvel Tales or any other reprint titles yet in the Comics area but do plan on doing so. Currently I am still adding to Marvel Tales and will eventually include all the most popular reprint titles in a new section.

Raccoons like dark quiet places such as an attic or basement. You can try discouraging them or making them move by setting up things that disturb their home environment (i.e. lights, music, etc.). If you have more than 2 of them in your attic or basement you're very likely to have a mom and babies. Male and female pairs do not stay together. Males are solitary and groups are generally mom and her babies.

The voice activation is set to ON. This is shutting down the camera when the room is absolutely quiet to prolong the battery life. Switch the voice activation to OFF and the video screen will remain on at all times.

First, you should always use distilled water with your facial steamer. Every 1-2 weeks, it is recommended that you let the machine run with 1/4 cup of vinegar mixed with 3/4 cup of water to clean your steamer and prevent the water from turning yellow.

Yes. The camera holds current settings including any changes you have made while turning off the power. If you prefer the original settings you can use the RESET function to reset to the factory default settings.

Once you have peeled each potato add it to a chilled water solution that has either concentrated lemon juice or white vinegar. It only takes a tablespoon of the acidic lemon juice or vinegar per half gallon of water and this helps slow down the oxidation. Also, fill up the container so there is not much air left and seal it before placing back in the refrigerator.
