'Most adult female grizzlies weigh 130–200 kilograms (290–440 lb), while adult males weigh on average 180–360 kilograms (400–790 lb). The average total length in this subspecies is 198 centimetres (6.50 ft)'.

And grizzly bears would be named 'grisly bears', if a historical mistake didn't happen. And that name would be an excellently descriptive one. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bear#Name .
This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

I feel that the normal usage, which is normally imprudent, of Facebook, Twitter, and the like encroaches on our time.
We should be abnormal in how much time we spend on them.
I'm afraid that however high the turnout of the Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Toronto, Occupy Vancouver, and Occupy Wherever is, there won't be much change in the way in which the economies of Anglo-Saxon countries is run and in the way in which the finance industry controls the economy in these countries.
The importance of finance is very deep-rooted in Anglo-Saxon societies.

The darkness of night is already descended at 5:15pm on this late fall day.
Those yellow luminous street lamps make you feel freshly warm.

Johnson & Johnson had been quite politic in the marketing of its products to people. But no more will many consumers trust it.
See 'Make safer baby shampoo,' groups tell J&J.
And, by the way, Johnson & Johnson and SC Johnson & Son seem to be two unrelated companies. The former is a public company, and the latter is a private one and much smaller.

Looking back at my life path, I came to Canada opportunely, without wasting my time in China.
I have no regret over that decision.
Just now, I glanced at the computer timer, and it showed '2:14 AM', which was the time after the Daylight Saving Time end adjustment had automatically taken place on my computer moments before.
I realized I gained one hour, then interestingly, a slight shiver of excitement ran through my body.
