Few destinations in Africa can rival Tanzania's diversity of wildlife, cultures and landscapes. From the classic savannah destinations of the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater to the beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar and the tropical coast, a Tanzania safari holiday delivers one massive experience after another. And that's before you discover the off-the-beaten-track experiences such as chimpanzee trekking in the magisterial rainforests of Mahale and Gombe or game viewing in the super-remote Selous Game Reserve.
Even fewer destinations however can offer an experience to match the Serengeti Migration. Forming the centrepiece of most Tanzania safaris, the migration is regarded as Nature at her most extravagant and involves hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope running the gauntlet of predators as they migrate around the Masai Mara/Serengeti ecosystem.
You'll need to choose your location and timing well to have your expectations of the migration met: the herds move according to the rhythm of the seasons and private conservancies offer the most exclusive ringside seats, but there's so much more to a safari in Tanzania than the migration.
Fast becoming a favourite East African holiday destination, Tanzania offers a wide range of safaris for both first-timers and seasoned campaigners. The ease with which a child-friendly safari can be combined with a beach holiday makes Tanzania a shoo-in for families while the country's most exclusive and luxurious safari lodges and beach retreats make for an unforgettable Tanzania honeymoon. And for a full East Africa safari experience, our experts have selected a range of Kenya & Tanzania safari combinations.

Here's how RW members rated this race (94 votes).
In short: Nice run and well organised, busy and narrow in places.Date of review: October 16, 2010
In short: Nice park, but killer hills!In full: I entered this race as it was local and for a good cause. There was a good atmosphere and everyone there was in good spirits. NEGATIVE: There was a little problem with some ribbons which held the medal. Some of the ribbons like mine were missing the event name and date and it was just plain black. However I only realised this when I saw other runners with the printed ribbon on the train. I was annoyed that there wasn't somebody to let the unwitting runners know. The course was more challenging than I had anticipated, who decided to put THAT last gradient in? it was hard on the legs. POSITIVE: The problem over the medal was dealt with in a very positive/friendly way by David Krangel (race director) who issued me with the correct ribbon/medal after I phoned him. For those thinking about entering this race, be prepared for a hard race, but a good atmosphere.Goody Bag & Medal: It's a small medal (4cm diameter) but the ribbon does have the event name and date. Everyone got to pick up some bananas and water/energy drinks. The lady handing out the energy drinks kindly gave me two energy drinks, I certainly needed them!Many thanks to the chap who ran 6km of the race with me, even though he was a foot taller and had a longer stride length than me! We chatted all the way through, but he went solo with 750m to go. Talking to him helped divert my attention away from the pain in my legs!Date of review: July 20, 2010
In short: one to try just for the area and organization.In full: thanks to dave and his team for entering me only the night before.easy parking and well marshalled event meant it ran like clockwork.will definately try some more of the fix events in the future. oh and even the dogs new to stay on the left?Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: My first ever 10K. Was well organised and had a great atmosphere. In full: Even though the terrain was a little lively I managed to get caught up in my first ever 10K and beat my PB. Had a really good race and will definitely be signing up for next year.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: Well organised, scenic and fast. Can't ask for much more.In full: The race buildup was great, with a very energetic girl with the mic doing her best to build the atmosphere. Only minor quibble would be the queue for the loos which was a bit long.The race itself was well marshalled, with clear km markers, and very scenic. Pretty much totally flat, albeit with some large puddles and mud patches to navigate at some points.All in all a great race for both faster and slower runners.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: A nice little eventIn full: This was a nice day out, in a pleasant part of London and on flat trails. Organization was excellent, with plenty of advance communication, efficient chip handout and starting bang on time with phased starts.Date of review: March 27, 2010
In short: Really fun, very well organised! A real laugh!In full: This was my first run, so it will always be very special for me! Greenwich Park is lovely and we were really lucky with the weather: it rained before and after but not during the race!The race was really well organised, marshalls very friendly and encouraging!Lovely medal and goody bag for all at the end and the costumes were hilarious!I'll definitely be there next year!!Date of review: January 7, 2010
In short: Bad weather, repetitive course up and down hills. Not enjoyable!Date of review: November 18, 2009
In short: Fun run, not too busy. Very basic organisation. Date of review: November 17, 2009
In short: hills, dam those hills!In full: great 10k. bit of a confusing course and xome hard hard hills in the last 10k. but well worth it. worst day of the year, weather wise and they still got a good turnoutDate of review: November 16, 2009

Hi all...First post so please go easy on me. (if in the wrong place could moderator move it. Thanks)
Had an idea for a final discworld book if Terry felt he could not carry on (God forbid). This could be used as a grand farewell to everyones favourite Discworld Characters.
The book would be along the lines of 80 Days around the World - possibly called "80 Days around the Disc". This would involve probably the patrician getting into a bet with a rival regarding how long it would take to visit the main areas on the disc.
The Patrician would then have either Moist or Rincewind take the Journey and they would have to collect certain arcticles of interest from the rulers or persons of specific interest of different areas of the disc as proof of them having been there.
This would give Terry plenty of choice to bring back characters from previous books that have not appeared for a while such as Twoflower, or more up to date characters such as the Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegle, Cohen the Barbarian, Death etc.. Even including areas such as Dunmanifestin with the Gods of discworld to Lancre or Klatch
Using this set up Terry would be able to create fun scenarios without having to worry about setting up to much of a backstory.
Vetinari's rival would have someone trying to prevent our main character from achieving their goal. Maybe the winner of the bet gets the job of Patrician while the loser is killed.
What do others think?


text: Trucks Pickup trucks are to the landscape business as limousines are to rock stars. In fact, it's hard to picture a landscape contractor without one. They're used to haul mowers, irrigation and construction equipment, and crews. They're mobile offices, dining rooms, and advertising mediums. Whether a company owns just one or an entire fleet of them, they are the workhorses we rely upon every day. That's the practical side of things. And let's be honest here. We love our trucks, don't we? More

Pragmatism generally considered to have originated in the late nineteenth century with Charles Peirce, who first stated the pragmatic maxim. It came to fruition in the early twentieth-century philosophies of William James and John Dewey and, in a more unorthodox manner, in the works of George Santayana. Pragmatists consider practical consequences or real effects to be vital components of both meaning and truth. Other important aspects of pragmatism include anti-Cartesianism, radical empiricism, instrumentalism, anti-realism, verificationism, conceptual relativity, a denial of the fact-value distinction, a high regard for science, and fallibilism.
Pragmatism began enjoying renewed attention from the 1950s on, because a new school of philosophy put forth a revised pragmatism which criticized the logical positivism that had dominated philosophy in the United States and Britain since the 1930s, notably in the work of analytic philosophers like W. V. O. Quine and Wilfrid Sellars. The concept of naturalized epistemology was further developed and widely publicized by Richard Rorty, whose later work grew closer to continental philosophy and is often considered relativistic. Contemporary pragmatism is still divided between work that is strictly within the analytic tradition, and a more relativistic strand in the wake of Rorty, and lastly neoclassical pragmatism (which includes philosophers such as Susan Haack) that stays closer to the work of Peirce, James, and Dewey.
As a philosophical movement, pragmatism originated in the United States in the late 1800s. The thought and works of Charles Sanders Peirce (like "purse") and William James (both members of The Metaphysical Club) as well as John Dewey and George Herbert Mead figured most prominently in its overall direction. The term pragmatism was first used in print by James, who credited Peirce with coining the term during the early 1870s. Prompted by James' use of the term and its attribution to him, Peirce began writing and lecturing on pragmatism to make clear his own interpretation. Peirce eventually coined the new name pragmaticism to mark what he regarded as the original idea, for clarity's sake and possibly (but not certainly) because he disagreed with James (cf. Menand 2001 on the former interpretation; below on the latter). He claimed the term was so ugly, nobody would be tempted to steal it (Haack 1998).
James and Peirce were inspired by the crucial links among belief, conduct, and disposition by saying a belief is a proposition on which a person is prepared to act. Inspiration for the pragmatists include Francis Bacon who coined the phrase "knowledge is power", David Hume for his naturalistic account of knowledge and action, Thomas Reid for his direct realism, Immanuel Kant for his idealism and from whom Peirce derives the name "pragmatism", Georg Hegel for his introduction of temporality into philosophy (Pinkard in Misak 2007), and J.S. Mill for his nominalism and empiricism.
A philosopher's general tendency is to push all views into either the idealist or realist camp, as well as William James' occasional penchant for eloquence at the expense of public understanding, resulted in the widespread but false characterization of pragmatism as a form of subjectivism or idealism. Many of James' best-turned phrases — "truth's cash value" (James 1907, p. 200) and "the true is only the expedient in our way of thinking" (James 1907, p. 222) — were taken out of context and caricatured in contemporary literature as representing the view any idea that has practical utility is true. William James writes: In reality, James asserts, the theory is a great deal more subtle. (See Dewey 1910 for a 'FAQ')
The view beliefs must represent reality to be true is widely disagreed in pragmatism – "Copying is one (and only one) genuine mode of knowing" says James (James 1907, p. 91) – and is argued beliefs are dispositions which qualify as true or false depending on how helpful they prove in inquiry and in action. It is only in the struggle of intelligent organisms with the surrounding environment theories acquire meaning, and only with a theory's success in this struggle it becomes true. However, in pragmatism, nothing practical or useful is held, nor anything which helps to survive merely in the short term, as necessarily true. For example, to believe my cheating spouse is faithful may help me feel better now, but it is certainly not useful from a more long-term perspective because it doesn't accord with the facts (and is therefore not true).
(1) Mutability of truth
One major difference within pragmatism about the definition of 'truth' is the question of whether beliefs can pass from being true to being untrue and back. For James, beliefs are not true until they have been made true by verification. James believed propositions become true over the long term through proving their utility in a person's specific situation. The opposite of this process is not falsification, but rather a belief ceasing to be a "live option." F.C.S. Schiller, on the other hand, very clearly asserted that beliefs could pass into and out of truth situationally. Schiller held that truth was relative to specific problems. If I want to know how to return home safely, the true answer will be whatever is useful to solving that problem. Later on, when faced with a different problem, what I came to believe when faced with the earlier problem may now be false. As my problems change and as the most useful way to solve a problem shifts, so does the property of truth.
C.S. Peirce thought the idea that beliefs could be true at one time but false at another (or true for one person but false for another) was one of the "seeds of death by which James allowed his pragmatism to become "infected." Peirce avoided this position because he took the pragmatic theory to imply that theoretical claims should be tied to verification practices (i.e. they should be subject to test), not that they should be tied to our specific problems or life needs. Truth is defined, for Peirce, as what would be the ultimate outcome (not any outcome in real time) of inquiry by a (usually scientific) community of investigators. John Dewey, while agreeing broadly with this definition, also characterized truthfulness as a species of the good: to state that something is true means stating that it is trustworthy or reliable and will remain so in every conceivable situation. Both Peirce and Dewey clearly connect the definitions of truth and warranted assertability. Hilary Putnam also developed his internal realism around the idea that a belief is true if it is ideally epistemically justified. About James' and Schiller's account, Putnam says this:
Rorty has also weighed in against James and Schiller:
(2) Conceptual Relativity
Part of what James and Schiller mean by the phrase 'making truth' is their idea that we make things true by verifying them. This sense of 'making truth' has not been adopted by many other pragmatists. However, there is another sense to this phrase that nearly all pragmatists do adopt. It is the idea that there can be no truths without a conceptual scheme to express those truths. That is,
F.C.S. Schiller used the analogy of a chair to make clear what he meant by the phrase that truth is made: just as a carpenter makes a chair out of existing materials and doesn't create it out of nothing, truth is a transformation of our experience but that doesn't imply reality is something we're free to construct or imagine as we please.
In "The Fixation of Belief" (1877), C.S. Peirce denied that introspection and intuition (staple philosophical tools at least since Descartes) were valid methods for philosophical investigation. He argued that intuition could lead to faulty reasoning, e.g. when we reason intuitively about infinity. Furthermore, introspection does not give privileged access to knowledge about the mind - the self is a concept that is derived from our interaction with the external world and not the other way around. (De Waal 2005, pp. 7-10) By the time of his Harvard Lectures in 1903, however, he had become convinced that pragmatism and epistemology in general could not be derived from principles of psychology: what we do think is too different from what we should think. This is an important point of disagreement with most other pragmatists, who advocate a more thorough naturalism and psychologism.
Richard Rorty expanded on these and other arguments in Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature in which he criticized attempts by many philosophers of science to carve out a space for epistemology that is entirely unrelated to - and sometimes thought of as superior to - the empirical sciences. W.V. Quine, instrumental in bringing naturalized epistemology back into favor with his essay Epistemology Naturalized (Quine 1969), also criticized 'traditional' epistemology and its "Cartesian dream" of absolute certainty. The dream, he argued, was impossible in practice as well as misguided in theory because it separates epistemology from scientific inquiry.
One of C.I. Lewis' main arguments in Mind and the World Order: Outline of a Theory of Knowledge was that science does not merely provide a copy of reality but must work with conceptual systems and that those are chosen for pragmatic reasons, that is, because they aid inquiry. Lewis' own development of multiple modal logics is a case in point. Lewis is sometimes called a 'conceptual pragmatist' because of this. (Lewis 1929)
Another development is the cooperation of logical positivism and pragmatism in the works of Charles W. Morris and Rudolph Carnap. The influence of pragmatism on these writers is mostly limited to the incorporation of the pragmatic maxim into their epistemology. Pragmatists with a broader conception of the movement don't often refer to them.
W. V. Quine's paper "Two Dogmas of Empiricism," published 1951, is one of the most celebrated papers of twentieth-century philosophy in the analytic tradition. The paper is an attack on two central tenets of the logical positivists' philosophy. One is the distinction between analytic truths, statements which are true simply in value of the meanings of their words ('all bachelors are unmarried'), and synthetic truths, which are grounded in empirical fact. The other is reductionism, the theory that each meaningful statement gets its meaning from some logical construction of terms which refers exclusively to immediate experience. Quine's argument brings to mind Peirce's insistence that axioms aren't a priori truths but synthetic statements.
Whereas F.C.S. Schiller actually dismissed the possibility of formal logic, most pragmatists are critical rather of its pretension to ultimate validity and see logic as one logical tool among others - or perhaps, considering the multitude of formal logics, one set of tools among others. This is the view of C.I. Lewis. C.S. Peirce developed multiple methods for doing formal logic.
Stephen Toulmin's The Uses of Argument inspired scholars in informal logic and rhetoric studies (although it is actually an epistemological work).
William James gives an interesting example of this philosophical shortcoming:
F.C.S. Schiller's first book, "Riddles of the Sphinx", was published before he became aware of the growing pragmatist movement taking place in America. In it, Schiller argues for a middle ground between materialism and absolute metaphysics. The result of the split between these two explanatory schemes that are comparable to what William James called tough-minded empiricism and tender-minded rationalism, Schiller contends, is that mechanicistic naturalism cannot make sense of the "higher" aspects of our world (freewill, consciousness, purpose, universals and some would add God), while abstract metaphysics cannot make sense of the "lower" aspects of our world (the imperfect, change, physicality). While Schiller is vague about the exact sort of middle ground he is trying to establish, he suggests metaphysics as a tool that can aid inquiry and is only valuable insofar as it actually does help in explanation.
In the second half of the twentieth century, Stephen Toulmin argued that the need to distinguish between reality and appearance only arises within an explanatory scheme and therefore that there is no point in asking what 'ultimate reality' consists of. More recently, a similar idea has been suggested by the postanalytical philosopher Daniel Dennett, who argues that anyone who wants to understand the world has to adopt the intentional stance and acknowledge both the 'syntactical' aspects of reality (i.e. whizzing atoms) and its emergent or 'semantic' properties (i.e. meaning and value).
Radical Empiricism gives interesting answers to questions about the limits of science if there are any, the nature of meaning and value and the workability of reductionism. These questions feature prominently in current debates about the relationship between religion and science, where it is often assumed - most pragmatists would disagree - that science degrades everything that is meaningful into 'merely' physical phenomena.
Pragmatists disagree over whether philosophers ought to adopt a quietist or a naturalist stance toward the mind-body problem. The former (Rorty among them) want to do away with the problem because they believe it's a pseudo-problem, whereas the latter believe that it is a meaningful empirical question.
William James' contribution to ethics, as laid out in his essay The Will to Believe has often been misunderstood as a plea for relativism or irrationality. On its own terms it argues that ethics always involves a certain degree of trust or faith and that we cannot always wait for adequate proof when making moral decisions.
Of the classical pragmatists, John Dewey wrote most extensively about morality and democracy. (Edel 1993) In his classic article Three Independent Factors in Morals (Dewey 1930), he tried to integrate three basic philosophical perspectives on morality: the right, the virtuous and the good. He held that while all three provide meaningful ways to think about moral questions, the possibility of conflict among the three elements cannot always be easily solved. (Anderson, SEP)
Dewey also criticized the dichotomy between means and ends which he saw as responsible for the degradation of our everyday working lives and education, both conceived as merely a means to an end. He stressed the need for meaningful labor and a conception of education that viewed it not as a preparation for life but as life itself. (Dewey 2004 [1910] ch. 7; Dewey 1997 [1938], p. 47)
Dewey was opposed to other ethical philosophies of his time, notably the emotivism of Alfred Ayer. Dewey envisioned the possibility of ethics as an experimental discipline, and thought values could best be characterized not as feelings or imperatives, but as hypotheses about what actions will lead to satisfactory results or what he termed consummatory experience. A further implication of this view is that ethics is a fallible undertaking, since human beings are frequently unable to know what would satisfy them.
A recent pragmatist contribution to meta-ethics is Todd Lekan's "Making Morality" (Lekan 2003). Lekan argues that morality is a fallible but rational practice and that it has traditionally been misconceived as based on theory or principles. Instead, he argues, theory and rules arise as tools to make practice more intelligent.
A notable contemporary pragmatist aesthetician is Joseph Margolis. He defines a work of art as "a physically embodied, culturally emergent entity", a human "utterance" that isn't an ontological quirk but in line with other human activity and culture in general. He emphasizes that works of art are complex and difficult to fathom, and that no determinate interpretation can be given.
It should be noted, from a general point of view, that for William James, something is true only insofar as it works. Thus, the statement, for example, that prayer is heard may work on a psychological level but (a) will not actually help to bring about the things you pray for (b) may be better explained by referring to its soothing effect than by claiming prayers are actually heard. As such, pragmatism isn't antithetical to religion but it isn't an apologetic for faith either.
Joseph Margolis, in Historied Thought, Constructed World (California, 1995), makes a distinction between "existence" and "reality". He suggests using the term "exists" only for those things which adequately exhibit Pierce's Secondness: things which offer brute physical resistance to our movements. In this way, such things which affect us, like numbers, may be said to be "real", though they do not "exist". Margolis suggests that God, in such a linguistic usage, might very well be "real", causing believers to act in such and such a way, but might not "exist".
Neoclassical pragmatism denotes those thinkers who consider themselves inheritors of the project of the classical pragmatists. Sidney Hook and Susan Haack (known for the theory of foundherentism) are well-known examples.
Not all pragmatists are easily characterized. It is probable, considering the advent of postanalytic philosophy and the diversification of Anglo-American philosophy, that more philosophers will be influenced by pragmatist thought without necessarily publicly committing themselves to that philosophical school. Daniel Dennett, a student of Quine's, falls into this category, as does Stephen Toulmin, who arrived at his philosophical position via Wittgenstein, whom he calls "a pragmatist of a sophisticated kind" (foreword for Dewey 1929 in the 1988 edition, p. xiii). Another example is Mark Johnson whose embodied philosophy (Lakoff and Johnson 1999) shares its psychologism, direct realism and anti-cartesianism with pragmatism. Conceptual pragmatism is a theory of knowledge originating with the work of the philosopher and logician Clarence Irving Lewis. The epistemology of conceptual pragmatism was first formulated in the 1929 book Mind and the World Order: Outline of a Theory of Knowledge.
'French Pragmatism' is attended with theorists like Bruno Latour, Michel Crozier and Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot. It is often seen as opposed to structural problems connected to the French Critical Theory of Pierre Bourdieu.
Ordinary language philosophy is closer to pragmatism than other philosophy of language because of its nominalist character and because it takes the broader functioning of language in an environment as its focus instead of investigating abstract relations between language and world.
Pragmatism has ties to process philosophy. Much of their work developed in dialogue with process philosophers like Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead, who aren't usually considered pragmatists because they differ so much on other points. (Douglas Browning et al. 1998; Rescher, SEP)
Behaviorism and functionalism in psychology and sociology also have ties to pragmatism, which is not surprising considering that James and Dewey were both scholars of psychology and that Mead became a sociologist.
Utilitarianism has some significant parallels to Pragmatism and John Stuart Mill espoused similar values.
Louis Menand argues that during the Cold War, the intellectual life of the United States became dominated by ideologies. Since pragmatism seeks "to avoid the violence inherent in abstraction," it was not very popular at the time.
Neopragmatism as represented by Richard Rorty has been criticized as relativistic both by neoclassical pragmatists such as Susan Haack (Haack 1997) and by many analytic philosophers (Dennett 1998). Rorty's early analytical work, however, differs notably from his later work which some, including Rorty himself, consider to be closer to literary criticism than to philosophy - most criticism is aimed at this latter phase of Rorty's thought.

SINGING schoolchildren joined thousands of flag-waving revellers as the Olympic Torch's Cumbrian odyssey reached Ambleside.
Crowds began gathering from mid-afternoon as anticipation mounted ahead of the historic moment.
Greeted by cheers and applause, torch bearer Tom Wright, 15, of St Bees, passed the Olympic flame onto Windermere's Stephanie Booth as it reached Borrans Park at around 6.20pm.
The beaming 14-year-old Lakes School pupil, nominated by her head teacher, told the Gazette it was the 'best moment' of her life.
"I was quite nervous but very excited," she said.
"Everyone was really friendly and happy.
"It's been the best experience."
Sports-mad Stephanie is a keen swimmer and participant of triathlon and cross-country events and will compete alongside her sister in this weekend's Great North Swim.
Her proud mother Christine said: "I didn't sleep last night, I was so excited for her.
"I'm just really unbelieveably proud of her.
"The last week has been a little bit overwhelming.
"She was determined to be involved in the Olympics and this could be the closest she gets."
Spectators Gordon Allatt and Norma Pearson made the trip from Northampton especially to see the torch.
And Mr Allatt was thrilled when he got to touch it.
"I'll never wash this hand again," said an emotional Mr Allatt.
"The Olympics is one of those things that brings the country together and makes us feel good."
Mrs Pearson added: "I think it's absolutely great and I shall be watching the Games every day while they're on."
Children from Ambleside, Hawkshead, Langdale and Coniston primary schools performed a song especially-assembled for the occasion as the torch made its way to Waterhead to board the Bowness-bound vessel, the Tern.
It was helped on its way by a flotilla, christened Brathay's 'whalers', as other boats sounded their horns in tribute.
Marj Waddecar, of Ambleside, who was looking on, said: "I was born in the year Britain last held the Olympics so I thought I ought to come down and see the torch this time.
"It's good we have got the Olympics and let's just hope there's a bit of a spin-off for tourism in areas like this."
Visitor Julianne Harlow, of Brighton, added: "It's a really big event that we won't be seeing in this country again and, rightly or wrongly, a lot of money has been invested in it."
People were invited to write goodwill messages about the Games for inclusion in an eye-catching yellow 'balloon tree'.
The Kendal Windows on Art project was led by Pam Williamson, who said: "I have worked with older people, schoolchildren and members of the public, asking them to send their messages to welcome the torch from Ambleside to London and the rest of the world."
The balloons were given to children after the torch passed through and the messages will now go on display at Ambleside Library before featuring in a special opening ceremony at this year's Ambleside Sports.
The Borrans Park festivities were organised in part by Barry Porter, of Rufty Tufty's, Ambleside.
Mr Porter said: "I thought it would be a really positive thing for Ambleside - it really profiles the area.
"Anything that builds up Ambleside is great for local businesses and local people. The kids are really enjoying it."
An Olympic Torch relay celebration, titled On the Night Shift, presented by Kendal Arts International, takes place on The Glebe, Bowness, tonight.
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

I am enjoying my Linksys Cisco WRT160NL running the 2nd latest release of DD-WRT and it is 100% stable (hence I haven't upgraded to the latest release)
You can get them for well under £100 on ebay
Posted 14 February 2013 - 16:54
Hey Mate, is this the correct model? http://www.dabs.com/...WRT160NL&src=16
Cheers ill buy it for delivery Saturday if so

Cheers ill buy it for delivery Saturday if so
Posted 14 February 2013 - 16:59
Maybe you should consider looking at some other models too, the WRT160NL is pretty old (it came out in 2009) and the range is quite mediocre even if you replace the antennas (source: I have bought basically every Linksys model since the WRT54G).
Posted 14 February 2013 - 22:00
My wifi range is superb with the stock antennas, neighbours 2 doors away can connect easily, coverage all over my house
Just used DD-WRT to boost the range / power
Posted 14 February 2013 - 22:09
A router range can be relative, the same router could cover your whole house but at the same time cover barely one room in somebody's else house, it depends on the walls, on the interference and on the country's regulations for transmit power. I had much, much better performance with other linksys models like the dual-band E3000 rather than with the WRT160NL that I found having a similar range to the older WRT160N or the WRT300N. Anyway there are websites that benchmark routers and while certainly better than the average the WRT160NL couldn't nearly match to some of the newer models (see here http://www.smallnetb...d-router-charts ). Also if you actually use the USB port having a 100mbit LAN and only a 400mhz CPU and 32mb of ram could greatly limit the samba performance when sharing drives. That Asus modem I linked has 128mb of RAM and two 600mhz+ CPUs and it literally flies (I had to glue it to the table) with samba.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 22:24
Posted 14 February 2013 - 22:26
USB2 can go much faster than that, I managed to get full speed only from 600mhz devices mostly because samba is very CPU intensive.
I have a Samba share set up via the USB port and I get the full 100mbps (10MB/s) read/write to the drive via LAN, burst speeds upto 15MB/s, I only have wireless G laptop so can't test if it can perform any faster atm
Of course there are going to be better routers, but OP wanted a router for under £100 and some feedback from someone who owns one.
For a typical house full of devices, it manages extremely well, I have all 4 LAN ports wired to different devices, I have 5 wireless devices connected with around 3-4 connected at any one time and its fine
If you have experience with a better router at a similar price then by all means, advise away
I dont think that WRT160NL actually has ADSL build in, meaning i would need to user a separate modem to connect to the internet yea?

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

In a bid to clean up San Diego County's waterways and beaches, regional regulators on Wednesday approved sweeping new standards for stormwater runoff that give local governments greater choice on how to combat pollution but also makes them more accountable for achieving improvements.
"This is the biggest single decision the board will make for the next two years," said Dave Gibson, executive officer for the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. He spoke shortly before the agency's board voted in favor of the new benchmarks.
The rules, contained in a permit, will alter how local governments in San Diego County clean up stormwater, assess pollution in terms of broad areas that feed into waterways, and prompt renewed emphasis on controlling contaminants at their points of origin.
While the previous approach set schedules of mandated cleanup measures, which led to mixed or unclear effectiveness, the revised regulations set numeric limits on runoff pollution but grant governments discretion on how to meet them.
"This (decision), which stresses outcomes rather than actions, is a drink of clean water," said board member Henry Abarbanel. "It's absolutely, totally a change in how the cities and counties can work with our residents to accomplish something that ... everybody wants to achieve."
Gisbon said likely changes will include "basic housekeeping measures" such as reducing backyard irrigation runoff to streets, as well as ambitious infrastructure changes such as installing storm-drain filters.
The region has had a stormwater permit in place since 1990 to meet requirements of the federal Clean Water Act. Gibson said earlier versions failed to improve water quality in the county's waterways, all of which are rated poor or very poor by the federal government.
"The previous approach, which was detailed to-do lists, was not going to be more effective than it had been for 20 years," Gibson said.
Wednesday's decision followed a day-long public hearing, which the board continued from last month after a host of speakers from local governments, businesses and environmental groups voiced discontent with various components of the proposed permit.
The strongest disagreement centered on whether runoff could be routed through biofilters or must be retained on site, whether a prior rule on bacterial contaminants should be included and whether local agencies should have some leeway to meet the new rules over time.
To address those concerns, the board considered two revisions.
One required local governments to begin meeting requirements of the new permit immediately, while the other would have given them more time to develop action plans for reaching compliance.
On Gibson's advice, the board voted for the first option.
Local government officials had pressed for the second option, saying that forcing immediate compliance with strict pollution limits would make them vulnerable to lawsuits from Day One.
"There's the potential for a lot of litigation," said Bill Brown, an attorney for the Port of San Diego. "We strongly and desperately support option two."
Environmental groups said local governments should not be offered more time because they have dragged their feet instead of getting up to speed with previous stormwater rules.

Steelers fans show off their colors for a causeDecember 13, 2012 by Teresa Varley
Steelers' fans love wearing their team colors, and proudly showed them off in a recent contest sponsored by Tide, called "Show Us Your Colors."
NFL fans were asked to upload a photo of the time they were most proud to wear their colors to Tide's Facebook page, with one person winning a trip to the Super Bowl.
But, there was an even bigger winner in the campaign, as the team that had the most photos uploaded won a $15,000 donation to their charity of choice. Steelers' fans once again showed their devotion by uploading the most photos, and the United Way of Allegheny County will receive the donation on behalf of the team.
"This contest again proves that Steelers fans are the best in the NFL," said Steelers President Art Rooney II, who serves as Chairman of the Board of the United Way of Allegheny County. "Not only do our fans show their support at Heinz Field and throughout every stadium in the league, but they also prove that they support our team in every way possible. Their dedication to the Steelers has resulted in a major contribution to the United Way, which goes above and beyond what happens on the field. We are grateful to have fans who care about the team, the organization and the community as much as ours do."
The Steelers and the United Way of Allegheny County have a long standing relationship, starting with founder Art Rooney, Sr., and continuing through today.
"There is a fantastic relationship between the Rooney family, Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL, Steelers fans and the United Way that has lasted for many decades," said Bob Nelkin, President of the United Way of Allegheny County. "It's helped children, people with disabilities, seniors and people who are struggling financially.
"It's great that Steelers fans are so passionate and compassionate. They are making a real difference by supporting charities like the United Way."

The first thing you notice as you leave pit lane is the speed. A heavy right foot has you entering Turn 1 at Virginia International Raceway at 100 mph--and you're not even standing on it yet. Moreover, it feels like you're only doing half that.
Once you familiarize yourself with the track layout and there's some heat in the Goodyear Supercar tires, you start feeding in the power, the brakes, and the steering. The new Camaro ZL1 lets you know immediately that it's a willing dance partner. The faster you go and the more turns you take, the quicker you come to one irrefutable conclusion: This is the best, most sophisticated factory Camaro ever. Nothing else even comes close.
There's never been an F-body so overly hyped before its introduction. We started hearing rumors about it before the fifth-gen was even introduced to the public. Originally said to be called Z28, it supposedly almost got cancelled, then came storming back with a new name: ZL1. Yes, the same nomenclature attached to the mythical aluminum-427-powered beast of 1969. But while that car was designed as a limited production animal to rule on the dragstrip (at a price that could triple the cost of a base V-8 Camaro), the new version is set to take on the Shelby GT500 and Challenger SRT8 in the modern muscle car wars. It won't be cheap, but it's right in line with the aforementioned Brand X competitors, $54,995 (same as a new '13 GT500).
While the original ZL1 was a bare-bones machine that lived only on a diet of expensive race fuel, the new model coddles you with every modern convenience and luxury, with performance that is in the realm of a modern supercar. In bone-stock trim, the original ZL1 ran 13.10/110 in an August '69 High Performance Cars magazine road test. Gulping premium unleaded, the new ZL1 is expected to turn the 1320 in 12.0 with an automatic and 12.1 with a manual, both at 119 mph. Say it again: 119 mph. With drag radials and a good driver, that should make the manual gearbox ZL1 a mid-11-second piece right out of the chute. Once you do the inevitable blower pulley change and computer tune, are 10s out of the question?
A full 30-percent of the fifth-gen Camaro was re-engineered to create the ZL1. Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser's team left no system untouched, from the aerodynamics to the engine, transmission, IRS and interior.
Let's start with the exterior. The goal was to have a high-speed car with lots of stability, even though the designers knew the fifth-gen is not a low-drag shape. Every piece of added bodywork is fully-functional, and the result is now a car that creates 65 pounds of downforce at speed instead of 200 pounds of lift (the standard SS). Dual belly pans were added. They not only improve the aero package, but also direct air to the front brakes and over the drivetrain to keep it cool. The ducting on the carbon-fiber hood is designed to extract heat from the engine compartment and keep air from building up under there. The body has rake to it, tires stick out a little to look more aggressive. Side splitters add to downforce and stability.
Even the ZL1 coupe's unique decklid spoiler contributes to the improvement. (For a variety of reasons, the convertible gets the same decklid spoiler as the SS.) Engineers tested full-scale clay models and full-size prototypes in the General Motors wind tunnel, shaping clay and trimming foam board by hand to affect changes and measure them immediately. They were then proven on racetracks (including the Nurburgring), GM's Milford Road Course and other facilities.
From a looks perspective, the front fascia mimics Bumble Bee from the Transformers movies, while at the same time having functional cooling ducts for the brakes. The upper grille reminds us of the "heritage" grille, but instead of horizontal bars, the new cladding is similar (according to Chevy) to what you'd see on a modern firearm.

Killed in Friday's horrific shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults. The shooter's mother was also killed Friday. Stories of the adult heroes of this tragedy and tributes to the children who lost their lives are being shared on Facebook and Twitter, by the families and in obituaries. Following are reports about the victims, gathered from news sources and Courant reporters.
Charlotte Bacon, Age 6
Charlotte Bacon, who would have turned 7 in February, was anything but shy.

Sandy Hook Elementary School, 12 Dickenson Dr, Sandy Hook, CT 06482, USA
"The family will forever remember her beautiful smile, her energy for life, and the unique way she expressed her individuality usually with the color pink," a statement released by her family said. "Charlotte never met and animal she didn't love, and since the age of two wanted to be a veterinarian."
She was smart, outgoing, precocious and persistent, said her uncle, John Hagen, of Minneapolis.
"She had a big personality. She could carry on a conversation with any adult. She challenged my sister every day. She knew how to get what she wanted."
Case in point: Charlotte's mother, Joann, bought her a pink dress and white boots for the holidays. Charlotte had been begging to wear her new outfit early. On the last day of Charlotte's life, her mom finally gave in.
Charlotte had curly, dark red hair. She loved going to school. She was so smart, Hagen said, that her parents were thinking about putting her in a special private school because they worried she wasn't being challenged enough. "This girl was definitely going places," her uncle said.
Charlotte liked a physical challenge, too, and enjoyed practicing Tae Kwon Do with her father and brother, especially "kicking and throwing punches," according to her family.
Another story that stands out in Hagen's mind: the time the Bacons were vacationing with extended family at a lake. Charlotte was 4 or 5. "I watched her jump off a pontoon into the water without any hesitation," Hagen said. "She just did it."
Charlotte was born in the Chicago area, a couple of years before Joann and husband Joel relocated to Sandy Hook. Joann is a stay-at-home mom. Joel, who holds a doctorate, works as a scientist in New York, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Their 9-year-old son, Guy, also was at Sandy Hook on Friday but wasn't harmed.
Despite having only one sibling, Charlotte had a big family. Joel is one of three brothers. His parents are retired missionaries who now live close to him. Joann, who grew up in Minnesota, is the youngest of six children.
Charlotte also loved being a girl scout, and her mom was her troop leader.
"There were 10 girls in the group," Hagen said. "Only five are left."
-- Washington Post; Courant Staff Report
Statement released by Charlotte Bacon's family:
Charlotte Helen Bacon is the beloved daughter of Joel and JoAnn Bacon, and the sister of Guy Bacon. Charlotte was an extraordinarily gifted six year old who filled her family each day with joy and love. The family will forever remember her beautiful smile, her energy for life, and the unique way she expressed her individuality usually with the color pink. Charolette never met and animal she didn't love, and since the age of two wanted to be a Veterinarian. She also enjoyed practicing Tae Kwon Do weekly with her Dad and brother where she relished kicking and throwing punches!
Charlotte has left a place in her entire extended family's hearts that will never be replaced. The family is profoundly grateful for the thoughts and prayers of the many friends around the world who expressed their sympathies. They trust in the depths of God's grace, and with confidence, know that Charolette rests in God's arms.
Daniel Barden, Age 7
Daniel Barden was fulll of kindness, an "old soul," according to his family.
