Using pulse baiting data to treat rodents
“Pulse baiting” is a method to control rodents at sensitive residential and commercial accounts. The technique eases neophobic rodents by initially deploying a non-toxic monitoring bait, before introducing an active rodenticide.

4 tips to trap stubborn animals
In many cases, a wild animal won’t go in the trap immediately after placement. Here are four tips to help entice a stubborn animal. Get animals acquainted with the trap. Instead of setting the trap right away, give the animal time to get familiar with the trap so it doesn’t view the trap as a threat. After the bait has been disturbed, set the trap. Camouflage the trap. By covering the top with leaves or twigs, you’ll make it look less obtrusive and more like a natural part of the environment.

Mark Ebner Returns
That shooting was disturbingly similar to another RI shooting here in Exeter. We knew that guy. He was the gentleman farmer for real. When he thought he was going to be evicted from the campground, he came in and shot the owner then his self. This is the beginning of a pattern. Delete comment Block this user
The Bagman
On a spring day in 1997, a veteran porn actor, bodybuilder and strong-arm man named Paul Barresi picked up a supermarket tabloid and spotted a 24-karat opportunity. What caught Barresi’s eye was an intriguing story about vice cops stopping actor Eddie Murphy just before 5 a.m. in a West Hollywood neighborhood known for its abundance of transgender prostitutes. Sitting next to Murphy in the front seat of his Toyota Land Cruiser was a gorgeous, 21-year-old streetwalker from Samoa.

“I Warned You About Bill Cosby in 2007,” By Mark Ebner
“If there are theories about me, I’d rather not know. Astrophysics – now that’s fascinating. String theory, worm holes, the expanding universe, the Big Bang versus the Big Bounce – those are the kind of theories that make you feel like living and understanding the mystery of the world. Film theory is just a pain in the ass.” ~ Claire Denis “I had a knockoff Michael Kors bag that said MLK instead of MK. Jada told me that I shouldn’t have knockoff stuff.

I Warned You About Bill Cosby in 2007
In 2007—seven years before she publicly came forward—I spoke with Joan Tarshis, a former Hollywood publicist who claimed that Bill Cosby raped her.
