| | Still Hibernating | | 2008-04-02 21:37:08 | | Game Two - Cubs 2 Brewers 8
WP - Jeff Suppan (1-0) LP - Ted Lilly (0-1) Save - None
In his post-game press conference, Lou Piniella said, "Yesterday we got beat, today we did not play well." And those few words summed up the Cubs performance on Wednesday afternoon. The Cubs did not hit with runners on base, threw the ball around and gave a very good team too many extra opportunities....add all of those up and that typically equals a loss.
The day started off on a bad note when Ted Lilly's first pitch was hit onto Waveland Avenue by Rickie Weeks....and it did not get any better as the day progressed. Once again Jeff Suppan dominated the Cubs. Former Cub, Jason Kendall reached base all 5 trips to the plate and finished the day 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, 2 doubles, 2 RBI's and a stolen base. Ryan Braun was 3-for-5 and added a RBI. The Brewers offense pounded out 14 hits against Cubs' pitching.
The Cubs hit two more home runs, one each by Derrek Lee and Geovany Soto that account | | By: Chicago Cubs Online | | |
| | Close the door, we're trying to sleep: The woman who keeps 75 hibernating tortoises in her fridges | | 2008-02-29 07:36:31 | | In most refrigerators, you don't come across living things. Except maybe some yoghurt or a spot of mould. But open up Shirley Neely's two fridges and you'll find them teeming with life. On every shelf, wrapped in tea towels, are slumbering tortoises. The smaller ones are snuggled up in a biscuit tin, but the bigger fellows are laid out side-by-side in their makeshift sleeping bags. Scroll down for more... Shelf life: Some of the 75 tortoises tucked up inside Mrs Neely's fridges for their winter sleep Mrs Neely who runs the Jersey-based Tortoise Sanctuary, had to set up the fridges because of the particularly mild winter. Her tortoises hibernate for up to three months between December and March, and need steady temperatures between 3c and 8c. They are in danger of waking early if it heats up - and then do not have enough body weight to keep themselves warm and not enough energy to eat or drink. But fridges, at a steady 4c to 6c, are the perfect environment. Mrs Neely said: " | | By: Fun and entertainment guaranteed | | |

| Snails - hibernating | | 2008-02-13 20:02:00 | | So far it has been a mild winter. We often use old house bricks to balance the flowerpots on. This serves two purposes - it increases the height of the pots and helps prevent them from being attacked by slugs and snails (at least sometimes). We have been cleaning out around the pots when this clutch of snails were spied squashed in the airspaces of one of the bricks. This is the first time that I have ever witnessed snails hibernating!

| | Hibernating Dormouse | | 2006-12-27 04:30:00 | | A Dormouse may only live for two or three years, and whether it survives for another season will depend on how much weight it gains before going into hibernation, a winter sleep that may last five months.If the dormouse does not put on enough fat, it might never wake up. Deep in the litter, curled like a ball, the dormouse has spent the five months of winter in a sleep which is close to death.Its body temperature has remained almost at freezing, it has breathed only four or five times an hour. As warmth returns, it stirs and begins to wake. It shivers to regain body warmth.Its heart beat increases from its resting rate of fifty beats a minute to five hundred.It has survived on the reserves of fat from the previous autumn, but has lost much of its body weight. With a metabolic rate so fast it must eat, or die.As soon as it wakes, it returns to a forest that is exploding with colour and life.Check our other intriguing, interesting and arresting moving images - the dormouse is a freeze | | By: NHNZ Images | | |
