A man has been mauled to death by a lion at a zoo after he climbed over a 7.6m fence to take a selfie with the beast.

Prahlad Gujjar from Rajasthan, India, entered the non-public enclosure that housed the lion at Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park by climbing over the fence.

Desperate for a selfie, the 38-year-old ignored a zookeeper’s warning to step away from the lion and continued to get closer to the large cat.

Before the zookeeper could intervene, Dongalpur the lion mauled the man to death.

A few years ago, I bought an attractive IKEA bed frame that matched the dressers, also from IKEA. The mattresses were to sit on supports that comprised of a few dozen pieces of flexible slats. They were purchased as optional supports, made for that style of bed. I opened one box, read the instructions, packed them up and returned for credit. Instead, I went to Home Depot, bought 2 plywood pieces (cut to size) and installed them as platforms.

The mattress height on this Scandinavian style is very low and I later bought some box-spring units to raise everything so getting in and out of the bed was more of the height of conventional beds sold in America.

Not long after, the bed developed a creaking sound that annoyed me for months. To fix it required removal of the mattresses, box springs, plywood and tighten the inner support brackets, then reinstall everything.

I did the maintenance and a few months later, the creaking returned. Thinking the problem was the plywood, I installed some wood supports around the perimeter. It helped some but the creaking was still there.

Soon... like many of my projects, it will have to wait.



Photo from the IKEA catalog:

Calvin Bautista, 38, crossed into northern New York on a bus from Montreal to New York City on July 15, 2018. The young adult snakes were hidden in the inner thigh of his pants in snake bags tied to the pants' drawstring.


They were discovered by US Customs and Border Protection officers, according to court documents and a release from the office of US Attorney Carla B. Freedman.

When your remotes have their own side of the bed

I find it most sexy and quite arousing when I see a woman not afraid to bear their natural hairiness. As a male of the homosapien race, perhaps maybe because I was born in that era of the 60's. Well,looking to see if the proud women out there will show up and sound off about this come back of the "Natural " woman. Feel free also to send a shout out ! 2024 ??

To those who are affected... Happy Valentine's Day!
To those who aren't affected... Happy Valentine's Day!

According to Wiki:
Valentine's Day aka Saint Valentine's Day is celebrated February 14.
Originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine and through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

So go out and spend $100 $200 on dinner and roses to show her your love!

Both of my cousins who relocated/retired to Florida are musicians. The one who is 4 miles from me is active for small events, parties as a soloist on keyboards with some programmed electronic drum tracks. When possible, he hires out as a trio with a guitarist and bassist.

Several times we talked about his bass player going through some health (and personal) issues that is affecting his wanting to gig and if I'm interested should his guy decide to leave the trio. I said yes, but I'm no where 'up to speed' to play 40 songs at a gig. I'll need more time. He knows, I've got several bass guitars and amps and can 'rock & roll' at a moments notice... well, assuming I know the songs. But I want to be 100%

He's booked a local gig at a club in downtown as a duo because the club owner didn't want the trio. The bassist was offended and indicated it might be time for him to move on... I'll go to his gig, not to play and no expectations other than getting the experience of seeing them perform live, so I can make a few recordings. That way, I can fit in seamlessly and be an asset to the group.

I've been asked to provide some photos of me, the bass and me playing the bass along with a short write-up of my musical background so he can include it in an introduction sheet of the members with some list that he emails people who would be interested in hiring the group.

Doubting I can make this happen quickly, he's heard some of my demo tapes from years ago and said it should be no problem. He feels really good about this and said "Don't worry cuz, this is your fate."

Love is what you need.
From love comes forgiveness.
Hate is what you don,t need when comes from evil.
Hate makes killings.
You have to choose to love and not hate, this makes you what you need and who you are.
Hate makes not what you need and makes not who you are,but ruin and destroy you.
So love God and love all creation.
Is said:Love God with all heart...,and love your neighbours as yourself(love all people).
To love is to be.Love heals, hate makes sick.
To love is to know God and yourself and your neighbours.
Love brings happiness.
God bless.
