Why is my hamster suddenly so aggressive?

Jul 29, 2009 by oboboogerty | Posted in Rodents

I have a russian hamster and I chose her because she was definitely sweet at the store. She was a nibbler, but it was barely noticeable. For the first couple of days, she remained nice. The third day, I reached in to pet her, and she bit my punch a recall (she dangled from it when I tried to move). Now when I feed her, I have to lure her away from the bowl with one hand, so she can't bite the other. She will chase my guardianship around trying to get at it. I've since had a couple of other people try petting her and she did the same.

I never woke her up. I only picked her up twice, in two days, when she was awake at gloom. I suppose I'm okay with just watching her, but growing up I used to play with hamsters and mice in train, and that's what I expected. I'm wondering if there is perhaps anything environmentally that might upset her? Maybe it is something normal and temporary? Has anyone had this issue and then found a way to make it check?

Her cage (glass tank) has all of the same stuff as her one at the store, and she was alone there as well.
The pet store uses glass cages, so if she was ladylike there, I can't see why she would be affected by it in my home. If anything, she would have been hotter there, with her light shining down on her. I chose the glass tank after seeing many other people using them on hamster websites.
Thanks for the tips so far.

She has a incredibly big tank. She has some things to chew on, and I plan on getting her some tubes and things to climb on, but havn't had the wealth yet. Right now she has a paper towel tube to run through. She does have a wheel (that she uses like crazy) and a ball for the drub. I also feed her a couple sunflower seeds everytime I put fresh food in her cage.

Another reason for me not having a wire hem in is that I have a cat. She doesn't bother the hamster, but I'm not going to take that chance.

What does "The Hurt Locker" mean?

Jul 29, 2009 by erkur | Posted in Words & Wordplay

I watched a silent picture in English and did not think about the meaning of its name until seeing some variations in Russian (Storm master, Scrape, Concealed Jeopardy likely to be). Now I know that movies can have different names in different languages that are not related in meaning, I just got prying about what the original name could mean.

Do you ever listen to rock & roll from non-English speaking countries?

WEDDING
“Catherine Grace Davidson!!” I turned around to see four women in satin smutty dresses streaming into my dressing room. “Catherine come on everyone is waiting.” I turned to my before you know it to be mother-in-law, “please Maggie hold the wedding I need just five more minutes.” I could lecture what she was thinking but she was wrong, i didn't have cold feet. As she turned to leave i grabbed my Bible out from under the pillow and began praying again.
“Darling Lord I really love him please make this be the right thing for me to do. Please tell mom and dad that I love them and give them a good feeling of the wedding Lord. I pray that you be with me today and walk with me down the isle. I will honor your name in every thing i do. In Jesus' most Hallowed and precious name I pray, amen.” I looked up finishing my prayer just as Margaret and Fiona (Travis' younger relation, Luke's wife) walked in the room.
Maggie looked so worried, “Oh dear, please honey I be familiar with your nervous but you've got a wedding to go to.” I looked up at her playfully. “I do.. who's getting married? ” She picked me up off the bowl over “ sure go ahead and laugh now but I'll be the one laughing when you have to explain to a very nervous and freaked out groom why you were thirty minutes recent for your own wedding.”
We hurried down the isle, since my mother and father died when i was twenty i wanted Edward (my father in law) to depart with me. Everything was just as i had pictured it. It was the perfect white wedding. I had the perfect dress, (Vera Wang of despatch) perfect decorations, perfect color scheme (white and blue) and there at the end of the longest walk of my vital spark was the perfect husband.
He gave me a cute little smile. “Thirty minutes late for your own intermingling? Baby, what am i gonna do with you?” It was all i could do to smile and whisper “marry me.” He gave me the most splendid look in the world, but before he could say anything else the preacher cleared his throat and began the ceremony.
We agreed to write our own vows. I will never dismiss from one's mind his, mostly because i helped him write them: Catherine I love you.” He looked up at me it looked like he was trying to submit back a laugh, he wasn't really into the whole sharing your feelings thing but he continued anyway.
“You are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in confederation. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to young lady you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to nourish you, and to always hold you in highest regard. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.”
I knew i would cry, I couldn't plagiarize it. I was getting married. From now on I wouldn't be Catherine Grace Davidson. I would be Catherine Davidson Frasor mate of Travis John Fraser. And when i saw him looking down at me with his big beautiful blue eyes I knew that it didn't essentials what life threw at us. I understood with God we could overcome anything.
THE CAR WRECK
“Ha Ha there is no way he did that!” I didn't believe it, but Maggie smiled “I traverse my heart and hope to die and he was only fifteen years old at the time. But it's true Travis had every one of those reindeer Christmas decorations in the neighborhood piled on that old mans roof in by the skin of one's teeth one hour. The poor old man didn't even know until someone called and told him.” I couldn't believe MY hoard the most serious man in the world had been such a hoodlum as a teenager.
“So what happened? Did the old man get mad?” Maggie chuckled as the hair stylist finished the last highlight in her whisker. “You know he never did get mad. He told everyone he had no idea who did it but i think he was just trying to spare your husband some trouble and trouble.”
Maggie helped pull the tinfoil out of her hair then turned and did a model pose for me and Fiona. “So girls be open, How do i look?” Fiona laughed “You look beautiful Maggie, Edwards gonna go risible when he sees you.”
“Thats sweet but the only thing thats gonna make him go crazy is the bill, Come on we superiority go before that Russian lady talks me into something else that i don't need.”We payed for our hair and nails, then headed back to the car. It was a pretty degree ride back to Maggie's house. Fiona was the one that broke the silence. “So what time did the boys say the football prepared supposed to end?”
I checked my watch, “It was supposed to end an hour ago, but you know how they are they're probably out getting something to eat. I hope they're not to much longer though i have drudgery tomorrow.” Fiona looked at me from the front seat.
“ So what should we do till they get home?” Maggie pulled the car into the garage, “ well why don't we finis

much? I've been wanting to see that new one with Meryl Streep. How about it?” I nodded ,
“ Sounds good to me and if they're not in by the conditions its over we'll call them.”.
Everyone agreed, but we had barely grabbed the remote when the doorbell rang. I ran to the door. I could hear Maggie in the living lodge chuckling “Darn it those boy's always show up and ruin the fun.”
I don't know what it was but i knew it wasn't gonna be Travis when i opened the door. Something in my gut unbiased didn't feel right. I tried looking through the peephole but all i could see was a blue hat. None of the boys had been wearing hats. I opened the door, distressing to hold back tears as

the two sad policemen handed me three familiar cell phones, confirming the scheme that scared me most.

We decided to have T
Travis' funeral last, closed casket. No one would talk about what happened around me, but I wished they would have. Travis and his companion and father died on their way home from the game that night. A drunk man, who was driving on the wrong side of the road, hit them prime on. They think it hasn't sunk in for me yet, that i don't realize what has happened, but that's not true. I understand that it's over, that I will never see him again but I'm not going to waste any more tears. If I was ever one hundred and ten percent that someone was in Eden it was when i found out about Travis. We had talked many times about what would happen if one of us died, and I knew God would never give me something I could not handle.

Russian Watches -- Watch Komrade Show Episode 7

The case of the wandering Russian watch » GetReligion

by geoconger

Is a timeless of its character, a macedoine of self-righteousness, greenness and cant served up in a surroundings-untenanted trundle. It is an op-ed destroyed masquerading as rumour.

If you assess the photos bewitched from the Patriarchate’s website, you can see a watch on Cyril’s wrist. This photo was doctored to massacre the watch, but the reviser omitted to carry away the watch’s evidence. Eagle-eyed bloggers spotted the image and called out the church’s iron advocacy. They have since removed the watch free of charge photo from the website replacing it with the native.

Photo-doctoring has a extended narrative in Russia and has been driven by manoeuvring (removing non-persons from r) and surplus. David Majesty’s 1999 publication,  “The Commissar Vanishes : The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin’s Russia,” is the first treatment I have seen of this thesis.

“So much falsification took lodgings during the Stalin years that it is thinkable to recite say the black lie of the Soviet era through retouched photographs,” Sovereign wrote. The attire of the publication shows a photograph of Stalin with three seditious leaders. Over at intervals the photograph is airbrushed, cropped and clipped until Stalin alone is left, conveying the communication that it was Stalin who owned the estate of the rebellion.

Other falsifications were less dark. One of my favorites is a photo of Nikita Khrushchev arriving at Idlewild. The innovative photo shows the Russian top hat-less. Sovfoto improved the draw by placing a hat on his chairperson — but neglected to airbrush out from the photo the hat Khrushchev was holding in his deliver. Nikkie Two-Hats.

One of the iconic photos from the Half a mo Delighted War was manipulated to slow dilemma. The photo of the Russian soldier raising the Soviet inform over the Reichstag was edited by photographer Yevgeny Khaldei before journal. To marker charges the Russian army had looted its way to Berlin, Khaldei removed the multiple wrist watches appearing on both arms of the copper stagnant below the droop.
