Always hiring : nobody to paint

Monday 6 August 2007 @ 8:50 am

I was walking around the city and found this bench ad in a bad shape! The ad reads “always hiring” and it seems like they are yet to find the right person to repaint the ad.

Video: Bear Grazing

Sunday 5 August 2007 @ 10:30 pm

I posted an incredible wildlife video in the previous post. Those who took the video were lucky enough to witness one of the most rare encounter of wild animals.

I went digging for some videos I took during our visits to the wild. This is a short clip of bear grazing by the side of road. It was great to see the black bear in wild so close and I was very excited about it.

Don’t blame me on being it a dull one. It is not taken in Africa and we were not scanning through jungle to take it. Last month, when we were just passing through a highway in Jaspar National Park, Alberta, we saw it gazing leisurely beside road and stopped to catch it in camera.

If you have such clips and photos please send them I will post them here for everybody to enjoy.




Survival Game in the wild – Great video

Sunday 5 August 2007 @ 9:00 am

One of my friend refered this great video featuring survival game in the wild. It shows a rare sight of conflict between pride of lions, a herd of buffalo and 2 crocodiles for saving a young calf at a watering hole in South Africa’s Kruger National Park.

A few lions basically play tug of war with crocodiles using a baby buffalo’s body…and then a huge herd of buffalos come to fight back.

This is what I call great video shoot at right time and right place.

Update: It seems that was not the only occassion buffalo have attacked the lions. I saw another clip from Discovery Channel in which buffallo have attacked the lions.




Soda and your health

Thursday 2 August 2007 @ 6:59 pm

I posted a news article some time back about heart-risk caused by drinking soda beberages. Today I forund a cool page that lists 8 Ways Soda Fizzles Your Health.

The site’s claims are pretty convincing, and I prefer to list some of them:

  • Cold drink is the most acidic beverage you can buy.
  • The high levels of phosphorous in them will leach calcium from the bones.
  • They dissolve tooth enamel
  • Each additional drink increases risk for obesity by 1.6 times
  • Children who drink cold drinks break their bones more easily

You can read details in the original Water for Life USA page.
