Bushnell binoculars

If you are looking for binoculars, one brand that you can't afford to ignore is Busnell. Busnell Optical is the leading producer of binoculars in the United States. My favourite model has to be the Bushnell H20 10x42 Porro Prism Binoculars. It has been described as the "the ideal binoculars for the outdoor enthusiast!" by the Western Outdoors Magazine.It is water proof and has one particular feature that appeals to me - Fold-down winged eyecups. This means that I can see the whole field of view even for people who wear eyeglasses, like me.

If you are looking for a place to buy bushnell binoculars, I would recommend Eagle Optics. The company has an amazing range of quality optics including Bushnell products. They have been selling optical products, both in their store in Central Wisconsin and by mail order since 1986. Now they have their own online store. It is a great place to buy binoculars simply because of the range of products they have on offer. They also have among the best lowest prices on the web. Right now, they have the new convenient Google Checkout Payment Option in place as well as outstanding customer service.

They also offer free financing for order above US $200.

Optical illusion

Look at the images above. As you can see, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm is on the right.

Get up from your seat and move back slowly.

PRESTO!! They switch places!!

This illusion was created by Phillippe G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow (according to the mail that was forwarded to me).

Just shows that what we may not be seeing what's actually there, all the time!

Zip your files securely

I am sure that all of you have one software or the other for zipping files, on your computer. However, do you have one that provides data security as well. If you don't then take a look at SecureZIP - The next generation of ZIP. This program has set a standard for desktop data security - from email messages and attachments, as well as data stored on hard-drives, laptops, and portable storage media.

The importance of ensuring security of your data cannot be over emphasized. If you think you are not going to be the target of Internet fraud or identity theft, think again. Of course, all data on your computer is important. However, there are certain files that should be kept absolutely confidential. This includes your financial data - including tax records, credit card and banking information.

You can use this program to exchange sensitive files through email using SecureZIP integrated with Microsoft Outlook®. It will automatically encrypt, digitally sign, and zip email messages and attachments.

Only minimal changes to current processes and existing security infrastructure is necessary for the deployment of this application.

If you are unsure, take the opportunity to download the program for FREE from the site - www.securezip.com. They are having a limited time free download promotion (the full version). All you need to do is to provide your full e-mail address to download the free software. It's that easy.

Last car boot for the month of April

We look forward to every Sunday and our favourite weekend pastime - car booting. Yesterday was no exception and we made our way to the Furnance End car boot sale. CJs has moved to the Rugby Club in Leamington Spa and will only open in Stoneleigh Park later this year.

As I have mentioned before, the car boot at Furnance End is huge. I have never had the chance to go over the whole place. Because of the slope and rough paths, pushing a pushchair can be quite a challenge. One of the main reasons we bought a Quinny Speedi push chair over eBay.

Bought a lot of stuff this Sunday as compared to the last. Probably because my wife was there too and she always spots some nice stuff.

Here are the stuff we bought this time:

- 2 Ikea Smila lights: £1.50 One hasn't even been opened yet.
- 2 Jigsaw puzzles : £1 These are for my daughter.
- Table lamp:£1 Later found out that the bulb was not working.
- Tomato and Marrigold seedlings: £1
- 4 seed packets (carrots and courgettes): £1
- Toothpaste: 50p
- 3 Uplighters: 50p
- Paper shredder (manual): 50p
- Air bed (as new, single with foot pump): £2.50. A real bargain.

Total: £9.50. Not bad and we got some real good deals.

Watching the clouds go by

One thing I really miss here in the UK are the sunny islands of Malaysia where we used to holiday almost every year without fail (at least before the kids).

The best were the islands off Terengganu on the east coast of Malaysia. It where you could get away from it all - with no mobile phone connections, no newspapers and usually only one TV set for the whole resort.

Just relaxing in a hammock between two palm trees on the beach with a favorite book or just watch the clouds go by. Sigh! Falling asleep was never this easy. That's real relaxation.

Talking about hammocks, visit HammocksRock.com to learn all about Hammocks. I was really amazed to realize that there were so many different types of hammocks that are available. I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a Hammock Chair. I also learnt that the best hammocks are cotton hammocks - those made from cotton.

You can also read about hammock stands because not every body has 2 coconut trees growing in their backyard.

Trips to the tip

I finally cleared up most of the junk in our backyard. You won't believe the amount of stuff that was lying there.

Simply can't understand why people would throw bottles, cans and other rubbish into your backyard when there is an excellent Waste collection service that comes every Thursday.

Anyway, had two make two trips to the Public Waste Recycling and Disposal Facility (the Tip)off London Road yesterday. It was back breaking work but it was worth it.

Of the two model mentioned above, I would definitely go for the Motorola PEBL. Though not the most high tech of phones available, I love it's curvaceous design and the unique external screen. Trying it out at the local store, I really liked the feel of this phone on my hands and the clamshell open mechanism is really smooth.

However, it's not on the top 10 list of T-mobiles phones listed on the site, given below:
