[ Mtn Lions ] Here are some recent sightings back to Oct. Mtn Lion shot AZ, 2 Mtn Lion sighting San Mateo, 2,3,4,5,6 Other Mtn Lion sightings: Los Altos, Pleasanton, Paso Robles, Riverside & Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Old San Diego fire areas seeing a return of wildlife.

[ Mtn Lion sighting 11/13 ] I just heard about this one in ">La Canada. La Canada is located off HW 210 North, NorthWest of Pasadena, CA. Also close or at the base of Mount Wilson. I am very surprised local authorities did not shoot the lion, which is my perception of their policy in the L.A. area. In other areas, a cub was rescued from a trap. Why are these traps still being used? Why? I found another site that list recent Lion attacks. This site has some gruesome pictures so be careful. I still have not found a site that posts sighting/attacks/killings on a consistent basis. Maybe I'll think of doing that. Interesting perspective from a mountain biker on Lions and Humans.

[ Browsers ] My left navigation bar was too shallow with FireFox. Should be fixed now. FireFox? Yes, Firefox is a replacement browser and using such would secure your computer, simple as that. As you know the default browser that comes with Windows is called MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer). Not to confuse you too much but Microsoft has three separate built in functions called "Explorer". We'll call them functions for now for sake of clear communication. The three functions of Explorer are 1)Internet Browser, 2)File System Mgr and 3)Shell. Microsofts goal was to create, for the user, one interface of these three functions. The sad part is that people lose an understanding of their personal system. One does not know the difference of the file system mgr versus browsing online. Maybe that is what Microsoft wanted to create? With that... Explorer allows malicious actions to happen on your computer like unwanted Ads and Spyware. You know those annoying little windows and web sites that come up on their own when you either turn your computer on or launch your Explorer. Say launching your Explorer to check your Hotmail account. Well thank those to Explorer! An interest article about problems with using a Hotmail account. If you need to clean your system I'd suggest the following applications; Ad-aware Spybot - Search & Destroy FireFox Absolute StartUp Tweak Now

[ The Rat Patrol ] In search of that old show The Rat Patrol, I came to recall that my brother is named after one of the actors, Christopher George. Wowa! This guy was born in front of the camera! CG holds HollyWood in one hand with a stunning 44 movies and 27 TV shows/appearances. Holy cow, he must wear acting makeup like 24 hours a day! Bro, being named after such an acclaimed actor, do you feel like you got it in ya? You got game for the TV? ;)
