Chaos troopers served the Krath during the time of the Great Sith War.
During the rise of the Krath cult, many followers were brainwashed by the teachings of Satal Keto to become willing suicide warriors who would pilot the Chaos Fighter into enemy ships. They served as living missiles and this they did gladly.

Kicking off Artangel's tenth-anniversary year of projects is stage and screen director Atom Egoyan's film-based installation 'Steenbeckett', set in a series of rooms in the empty ethnographical Museum Of Mankind near Piccadilly. Mourning the passing of recorded memory as a physical object with the switch from tape and film technology to digital, Egoyan leads the viewer on an atmospheric trip beginning in a room filled with film flickering through an old cut-and-tape Steenbeck editing machine. The film is Egoyan's version of Samuel Beckett's play Krapp's Last Tape, about a 69-year-old man reflecting on the words of his 39-year-old self recorded on an old reel-to-reel tape machine. Another room projects a digital version of the film while a dusty corridor filled with film cans and the physical props of film-making leads to a viewing platform overlooking the installation.
Steenbeckett: Atom Egoyan, from Fri 15 Feb, Former Museum Of Mankind, 6 Burlington Gardens, W1 (020-7713 1402).

Mayhem # 2228397
About MeI've been an active photographer since 2008. For the past few years, I've mainly shot events and weddings, but I have experience with portraits and head shots. My goal in the next few months is to get my photography business up and running and have it become my primary financial income. That's why I've joined Model Mayhem, to find others who can help me in achieving my goals, and in return I hope I can help them. I am open to doing TFP shoots as well.
I love taking pictures of people and capturing "in the moment" shots. The ones that weren't planned are always the best, that's why I love taking pictures and head shots for actors. They're also the most comfortable in front of a camera. Having been an actor myself and had many head shots and photographers, I know what today's actors and actresses are looking for in a photographer, and I know what it's like to be on the other side of the camera, too.
Best way to contact me is through facebook or my website.

Awww so sad! This was beautifully written!
| rayden54 chapter 1 . 10/29/2007
So, I wasn't the only one who noticed the similarity and the difference. With Rose, if he'd been able to, he would've changed back. With Joan, he could, but he wouldn't. Very nice.
| SenseOfTime chapter 1 . 6/13/2007
Great oneshot! I loved the comparison between the two times when he's been asked that question! Nicely written and a great insight of the Doctor!
| wyldcat chapter 1 . 6/12/2007
Ooh that's really, really good. Very deep and meaningful, and I like the contrast! Good work!
| Genne chapter 1 . 6/12/2007
I LOVED IT! While watching that scene I remember thinking, is it just me or does this sound really familiar? But the difference... that's what made it so... *sobs* ROSE WAS AWESOME! (small note though, just a quickie, rose has hazel eyes. i know, i thought that they were blue for the longest time as well) You did a fantastic job though, truley.

Quiz: The world's deepest offshore oil-drilling platform sits in how many feet of water?
- By Preeti AroonPreeti Aroon was copy chief at Foreign Policy from 2009 to 2016 and was an FP assistant editor from 2007 to 2009.
- preeti.aroon
- @pjaroonFP
This week's quiz question:
The world's deepest offshore oil-drilling platform sits in how many feet of water?
a) 5,280 feet (1mile) b) 6,600 feet (1.25 miles) c) 8,000 feet (1.5 miles)
Answer after the jump …
C, 8,000 feet.
The world's remaining oil supply is becoming harder and harder to reach, so oil companies are having to operate even deeper in the water. In March, Perdido, an offshore oil drilling and production facility in the Gulf of Mexico operated by Shell, broke the water-depth record when oil flowed to the platform while it was moored with polyester rope in 8,000 feet (1.5 miles) of ocean.
Of course, with the massive BP oil spill, many people might no longer be in awe of what a "technological tour de force" the Perdido facility is.
(In the photo above, the Norwegian oil-drilling rig Statfjord B produces oil in the North Sea on Sept. 19, 1984.)

With one obvious exception, toy stories do not have the luckiest big-screen pedigree: the results are often either sugary cartoons for undemanding kids or noisy blockbusters for brain-dead teens. If the producers of 'The LEGO Movie' had taken either approach, there would have been an outcry: these lifeless plastic bricks are too beloved, too iconic to be subjected to the Hollywood sausage-factory treatment. Luckily for all, someone had the foresight to bring in 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' writer-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and the result is bold, berserk and strangely beautiful, exuding LEGO-love from every frame.
Our everyman hero Emmet (Chris Pratt) is the happiest guy in Bricksville: he's gainfully employed as a construction worker (what else?), he adores his co-workers and he knows that the mighty President Business (Will Ferrell) has his best interests at heart. So when he's thrown into an epic conflict between Business's robot clones and the forces of creativity and invention (led, of course, by Batman and Abraham Lincoln), all Emmet wants is to get back to normality.
Occasional pacing issues aside, 'The LEGO Movie' is sheer joy: the script is witty, the satire surprisingly pointed and the animation tactile and imaginative. Expect controversy over the climax, though. The film plunges deep into waters left uncharted since the mid-'80s, leading to a strange, deeply sentimental but oddly touching climax that manages to say more about its source 'material' than any toy movie to date. Barmy, perhaps, but often brilliant.

This is a great movie but it isn't specifically a kids' movie. A large portion of the humour in it is either too pop-culture-referential or clever for kids to understand or appreciate. Why this is listed in kids' films I do not know.
Very disappointing. At a fullish preview there wasn't much laughter even from the small kids. I found it very dull. If you have small kids to entertain over half term I would strongly recommend Mr Peabody and Sherman over this. Distinctly average to poor film. 2 stars only.
After popping a few Es this movie is the dogs bollocks

Blackburn Rangers take to the road
It was imperative that we stay vigilant against the danger. Our enemy would not discriminate. Young or old, strong or feeble, all were within its sights. It could sink its vicious teeth into our flesh and not release for days or weeks. Few would escape our journey without falling victim to its ruthless aggression.
Our expedition leader and Blackburn's brand manager, Robin, tried in vain to prepare us for the threat. He gathered us up and spoke in hushed tones.
"It's important to remember that if you're not on the trail, you are almost certainly standing in poison oak."
It was a valiant warning, especially since I'm still scratching two weeks later. I joined Blackburn and its 2016 class of Blackburn Rangers for an introductory ride through the mountains of coastal California. With a little help from Santa Cruz and Big Agnes we escaped from the arid asphalt plains of the San Jose airport parking lot and ascending through sun, wind, mist and fog to a quiet Boy Scout camp perched high in the hills above the city. Tucked beneath the massive evergreens we cooled our heels and warmed our hearts with a campfire and some of Kentucky's finest.
Blackburn is the kind of brand that doesn't just spit out products to make a buck. They're out there using these things—both the employees and the brand's annual group of Blackburn Rangers. The six Rangers chosen for 2016 will complete some of the most famous bike touring routes in North America. While off-road bikepacking is very on-trend right now, it's really bike travel of all kinds that Blackburn is promoting, as many of the routes its Rangers travel are entirely paved.
Meet the Rangers
Brian Ohlen – Cody, Wyoming
Brian hails is an avid fisherman and cyclist. He intends to combine his passions and bike-fish his way from Canada to Mexico, in search of the elusive Steelhead Trout.
What is your goal for the route?
"I'd love to catch a steelhead in each of the three states I'll travel through. Three fish doesn't sound like much, but those buggers are hard to catch!"
Sorry Laura, this is the only photo of you I took.
Katie Hawkins and Laura Brigham – East Palo Alto, California
Katie, left, and Laura, right, are neighbors in East Palo Alto and decided to apply together to tackle the Great Divide this summer.
What do you hope to get out of this journey?
Laura: "I hope to share the enthusiasm that I have for biking and the outdoors with those on the Great Divide as well as those following from home. I hope at the end of this crazy 'Canadian gone Mexican' adventure, Katie and I will leave with unforgettable memories, strong legs, sweet tan lines, and a bunch of awesome new friends."
Katie: "I see this as a soul-searching adventure for 2 months. I want to be able to get away from my normal 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. job and be on an adventure that separates me from life's distractions. I want to share my experiences with various biking communities along the route and hope to learn from them, as well."
Courtney Lewis – Brooklyn, New York
Courtney followed the Blackburn Ranger program for the last few years, and the variety of their backgrounds and approaches were immediate inspiration for her to tackle the same path in her own way. Courtney's 'own way' includes stepping off the bike and hiking nearby summits along the route, and also bringing her dog along.
What do you hope to get out of this journey?
"I'm excited to shake up my routine, and the routines of my friends (and friends-to-be!) along the way. I want to push my limits to get the most out of the time I have, and to learn more about myself."
Ivan Kilroe – Lancaster, Great Britain
Ivan has a great approach to cycling that is based on sharing beauty and joy with friends that we can appreciate.
Have you traveled by bike in the past?
"In the last year I've done a handful of short trips travelling by bicycle and really enjoyed the freedom you feel from carrying everything you need to survive. I've definitely got a bad case of 'outdoorism' – seeing the sun rise and set everyday, and waking up outside all becomes kind of addictive."
Photo by John Watson
Christian Ayoob – Watkinsville, Georgia
Christian hails from the robust , but often overlooked, cycling community around Athens, Georgia, and is one of the first Southerners that has been selected as a Ranger.
What do you hope to get out of this journey?
"By the end of this journey, I hope to have collected stories, met as many people as possible, and all around have had fun. Along with doing this, I would love to have a very detailed journal and blog for others to follow and get inspired."
While the Rangers plan to ride thousands of miles, you don't need to quit your job and drop off the grid to have a great adventure on a bike. Most of Blackburn's products are just as useful on a commute to school as they are on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.
New gear
We also got a look at some of Blackburn's newest products on the ride:
Blackburn's unique frame bags ($60 or $65) come in two sizes and are expandable depending on your cargo needs. They've been updated with stronger zippers and will soon be available in a limited-edition camo print. The Seat Pack ($120) and Handlebar Roll ($100) will be available in camo as well. All the bags will continue to be available in black.
These little 2Fer lights were one of my favorites. These $25 USB-rechargeable lights have a clip on the back that holds them snug on a loop like you find on backpacks, or on the included stretchy strap. The name derives from their ability to run with white or red LEDs so they can go front or back.
The new Switch Mini multi-tool is a bit of a crossover between something that stays packed away with your bike stuff and your at-home tool kit. There are four pieces with a tool at each end that can be held either perpendicular or inline with the handle. The rounded ends make it useful when working in tight spaces where you can't hold the tool perfectly inline with the bolt. It includes a 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, T25 Torx, T30 Torx and a flat head screwdriver that all pack away in the included case, with room to spare for an ID and a couple bucks.
My favorite item introduced was the new Chamber HV floor pump ($80), the highlight of a whole new line of floor pumps. Designed for big tires, it has a high volume piston and a HUGE gauge that only goes to 50 psi. Some trick features include a bleed valve in the head for precise pressures, a bottle opener (natch) and a 31.8 mm clamp for the handle that lets you bolt on an old set of handlebars for some custom flair.

In this episode of The Adventure Dispatch, we head out on an overnight ride with Sarah Swallow through the Humboldt Redwood State Park. Sarah is an expert when it comes to creative route planning, which is why we're happy that she decided to share her methodology for sub-24-hour overnight riding (S24O). So take notes or just enjoy the scenery and get motivated, because you're about to learn what happens when you saddle-up, slow down, and take notice of the world around you.

Film: the California Sierra Trail Race
As more and more riders find themselves pulled by the lull of adventure in big mountains, new bikepacking races and events are popping up across the country. The California Sierra Trail Race is a self-supported monster and one of the few that makes a loop back to its starting point, in this case Auburn, California. While it might make the logistics of participating a bit easier, the ride is anything but: 430 miles and 70,000 feet of climbing along old roads and singletrack in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
This short film by Aaron Johnson gives some background on how the route came together and follows the second running of the race in July 2014, when only four men lined up at the starting line. Will you be there this year?Tweet Print
Bicycle Times visits SRAM's California research and development lab
In 1998, a small group of California engineers developed bicycle components and called the company TruVativ. Six years later, the mighty SRAM purchased the San Luis Obispo company, followed by the company's introduction of its Rival, then Force, then Red road group sets. We were in the area for a Zipp 30 Course wheel introduction, so on the way out of town we toured the new SRAM lab, a brand-new 20,000-square foot facility across from the SLO airport, about a mile down the road from the original 8,600-square foot building. Thirty employees—engineers, lab technicians, marketing, public relations and machine shop wizards—share a custom work space which might be the envy of the industry.
The SRAM SLO lab is where drivetrain components, seat posts, cranksets, handlebars and stems are developed, prototyped, and tested until failure. It's in the early stages of development, and we weren't able to take photos of the early development stuff, but one thing stood out: engineers have the equipment necessary to create a carbon prototype crankset in-house and have it on the stress test machines the next day, a process that just a few years ago would take months.
And yes, SRAM breaks a lot of stuff. They break stuff so you don't have to!
And with the recent introduction of its expanded 1x drivetrain platform, it was cool to watch their chainline test, which took cross chaining to the extreme.
Shifting and all it encompasses includes too many variables for a feeble-minded journalist to count, but SRAM built its own test mule to cover all possibilities.
Zipp brand manager Declan Doyle—based in Indianapolis—hails from the Emerald Isle, and was pleased to see a conference room named in his honor.
This man gets to build prototypes, and has the world-class equipment to play with every day. Can't wait to see how his workspace evolves over the next few months.

Preview: 25th Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California
The 2015 Sea Otter Classic will be held April 16-19, 2015, at the Laguna Seca Recreation Area in Monterey, California, home to Formula 1 and past MotoGP racing, and the Bicycle Times editorial team will descend to scour the aisles for new product news.
This four-day cycling festival features a full schedule of amateur and professional events, where nearly 10,000 domestic and international athletes compete over four days. The Sea Otter Classic also plays host to the largest consumer bike exposition in North America with 411 exhibitors and 65,000 attendees, but how and when did it begin?
"You guys should put on a mountain bike race." That simple statement from a Monterey bike shop owner in 1990 was the genesis for the Laguna Seca Challenge, later renamed the Sea Otter Classic.
Co-founders Frank Yohannan and Lou Rudolph hosted the inaugural Laguna Seca Challenge on April 6 and 7, 1991. The event had a total of 350 athletes and 150 spectators. In 1993, the Laguna Seca Challenge was renamed the Sea Otter Classic. By 2010, the Sea Otter Classic had become a four-day celebration of cycling welcoming more than 8,500 athletes and 50,000 fans. The event is now regarded as the bicycle world's premiere festival and one of the world's largest. The little mountain bike race has grown up.
Racers make the annual pilgrimage to Sea Otter to participate in cycling's best competitive and non-competitive events. Nearly 200 classes of amateur road and mountain bike racing for all ages and skill levels will toe the line. Mountain bike races include cross-country, dual slalom, downhill, and more. Road cyclists can choose from road and circuit racing on the world-famous Laguna Seca Raceway. And for those who want to bike in less-competitive fashion, Sea Otter offers the Gran Fondo, with two distance options.
The Sea Otter Village, hub of the event, pulses with free bike demos, stunt shows, and live entertainment, plus kids' playhouses and special activities for kids 12 and under. Other Village hotspots are an international food court and beer and BBQ garden, and the Sea Otter exposition area. The expo features hundreds of vendors who display new products, give out free samples, and offer terrific bargains. And in the Sea Otter Village, hundreds of professional road and mountain bike athletes are present to share their racing techniques with fans and to sign autographs.
Look for our new product reports here soon!

L'Eroica vintage ride comes to California
Carbon frames, integrated shifters, skin-tight clothing—all of these things make cycling easier, and faster, but for many folks there is a desire to celebrate a simpler, more authentic era of cycling before technology laced its inevitable fingers through our spokes.
The L'Eroica rides were founded in the Chianti region of Italy, a homeland of sorts for cycling culture. With a strict dress code and bike specification, they form a rolling time capsule along the famed Strade Bianche of roads through vineyards and orchards.
For the first time the spirit of the original L'Eroica is coming to America. The Eroica California will be held April 11 and 12 starting in Paso Robles. There will be three route options, from 41 to 123 miles, and they are only to be undertaken with strict bicycle regulations. These include only bikes that have been constructed prior to 1987, have exposed brake housing over the handlebars, toe-clip or flat pedals, and down tube shifters.
More than just a ride, the Eroica California includes a festival with local vendors, live music, a silent auction, a pasta meal for riders and a bicycle Concours d'Elegance.
Registration is open now. You can read more about what it's like to ride L'Eroica in our recap of our trip to the original Italian event here.

From 8.55 hrs till 9.25 hrs, pit stops are being practices, in the presence of spectators.
Hockenheim - With immediate effect, Sunday morning will provide a new attraction for the DTM fans. At Hockenheim on Sunday, all participants of the traditional pit walk can watch the DTM teams from up close during their pit stop practice for the first time.
At every one of the ten rounds of the most popular international touring car series, the tyre change crews have an early wake-up call. From 8.55 hrs till 9.25 hrs, pit stops are being practices, in the presence of spectators.
Every visitor with a paddock ticket can be in the front row when the total of eleven cars will be rolled in for tyre changes. For safety reasons, the DTM cars will be pushed for the tyre changes, the engines remain switched off.
"With this pit stop practice, we really are providing an interesting novelty for our fans. Thus, the spectators get a close view of the work by the mechanics and they can experience real racing atmosphere," says Hans Werner Aufrecht, chairman of the board of DTM rights-holder and promoter ITR e.V. "Moreover, the autograph sessions on Saturday and Sunday provide the opportunity to meet the drivers in person."
Every two-car team of the three premium car manufacturers Audi, BMW and Mercedes involved in the DTM is running one car for this pit stop practice. The DTM cars get a full service in a few seconds.
This novelty not only provides additional value for the fans, but also gives the team a welcome opportunity to practice. After all, pit stops are very important in the DTM races, because the margins in the extremely close field are often very small. Thus, a perfect tyre change can very well decide about victory or defeat.
This year, pit stop practice isn't the only new element for the fans. Visitors at the race track can also look forward to two autograph sessions with all 22 drivers and another concert. This season, the drivers will be available to sign autographs for the fans during the pit walk in the pit lane on Saturday at 13.30 hrs and at the DTM shop near the Showtruck on Sunday at 10.30 hrs.
Next to the ARD Chartshow on Sunday, during which at Hockenheim on Sunday at 11.45 hrs Tim Bendzko will be presenting the 2013 DTM song 'Ich steh nicht mehr still' for the first time live, there is another concert on Saturday at 13.40 hrs. During the season opener at Hockenheim, the band Black Cat Bone will be on stage.

text: Instructional Leadership in a Culture of Change Dr. Jim Nolan Penn State University Why Change Efforts Fail? • " Failure to understand how people experience change in contrast to how it was intended lies at the very heart of the spectacular lack of success of most social reforms." ( Fullan) • Most people who try to change education, whether it be a classroom or the system, do not understand how people involved in the changes think." (Bogdan and Biklen) The Experience of Change • Teachers play a central role in the change process because they are both the objects and the subjects of change. • Change adds to the uncertainty of teaching. • The added uncertainty increases teacher guilt. • Change results in a greater workload for teachers-intensification. Imposed Change and Veteran Teachers • "When change is imposed on veteran teachers, the implicit message is often not just that the new idea will be better, but also that what the teacher has been doing for years is ineffective or even harmful." (Sikes) Why are veteran teachers often cynical about change initiatives? • As we age, we begin to realize that our power to change the world is limited. • They have seen innovations come and go each one being touted as "the best approach"- even if it contradicts the last innovation. • Sometimes it seems all that people in power really care about is the appearance of change. Resistance • Redefining and rethinking resistance to change Change Implementation • • Implemented • Good Idea Bad Idea • Success Failure • Not Implemented • Failure Success The Zone of Wishful Thinking • Many change agents refuse to acknowledge that their ideas have any flaws or weaknesses. They foresee only smooth sailing ahead. They are in the "zone of wishful thinking." (Hill & Cielo) Typical Approach to Resistance • One approach sees resistance to change as something that must be overcome at all costs. • This approach results in ignoring the objections and putting down the resisters. Alternative Approach to Resistance • Resistance is seen as something that should be attended to and honored. • Absence of early conflict is seen as a bad sign. Honoring Resistance • Identify the motive and act accordingly, e.g. admire, empathize, dismiss. • Think through the substance of the resistance - never dismiss it. • Resisters are our friends. They spend energy where you and I will not - finding the flaws in our own plans. Leading for Change • Designing Professional Development to Promote Reculturing and ChangeSustaining Learning Embrace the Tensions; Think Inside the Paradox • Stop pretending you have the answers! • You only have to know what the right questions are. • Never a checklist, always complexity. Embrace the Tensions; Think Inside the Paradox • "Cultural change (leaders) value the tensions inherent in addressing hard-tosolve problems because that is where the greatest accomplishments lie" (Fullan, 2002, p.19). The Tensions We Live • Difference • High Stakes Assessment • Standards • Design down • Student needs • Student needs • Reduce taxes • Commonality • Developmentally appropriate practice • Individuality • Teach up • Parent desires • Teacher needs • Improve quality Confronting the Contradictions: Internal Languages • I am committed to the value or importance of: • What I do or don't do that prevents my commitment from being realized • Open and direct communication • I don't talk to people whom I am really upset with. Confronting the Contradictions: Internal Languages • Competing commitments: I may also be committed to… • What assumptions and BTB conclusions do I hold that underlie my behavior • Avoiding conflict whenever possible • I assume that if we have conflict we will not be able to work together collaboratively. Aim at both individual and organizational development • norms of collaboration • norms of inquiry, experimentation and risktaking • norms of continuous improvement • It must be OK to say I don't know or I am puzzled. • It must not be OK to choose to stay in that state of mind. Make Connections • Every initiative should be connected to a larger vision and integrated with other initiatives. • Choose to do a few things well- "Just say No" • Selective innovation Think big; Start small • Large enough to require noticeable, sustained effort. • Not so overwhelming as to induce watering down as a coping mechanism. • Not "Very much like we have been doing."

Greatest Big CatsEmery Nicest looking/cutest/most graceful... but most of all the K.I.N.G of the cats
The Top Ten
Tigers are more aggressive, faster and stronger than Lions pound for pound, they have better coordination and fighting skills, there are plenty of videos that prove this. Most people that are bias in favor of the lion don't take the time out to observe these facts. I am by no means trying to diminish the " King of the Jungle" title from lions, although most lions live in Savannah grasslands, and a more appropriate title would be "King of the African Savannah's" where they live in prides and may be considered superior in that region (since there are no tigers there), but when it comes down to the nitty gritty. The Siberian tiger reigns supreme as "Emperor of the big cats"
Lions have better coordination and fighting skills then a tiger
Most will say who would win in a fight not because of info and facts, but because they favor one over another. I'm giving the honest answer. I like all cats the same, but in a 1 on 1 fight between at lion and a tiger, the tiger would most likely win. Tigers are bigger and have denser muscles than lions do. A lion's diet consists of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo. A tiger's diet consists of deer, crocodiles, gaur, and even bears. While the chances of a tiger and lion meeting and face off in a fight, chances are, a tiger would win. Tigers go for the kill quick, while lions pound and pounce. The mane on a lion does protect it, tigers also aim for other vital areas. In some circumstances however, a lion would win. Fights between a tiger and a lion often occurred in Rome, and the tiger won the majority of the time. Lions and tigers are both amazing animals, and please don't think I'm trying to be a jerk to lions, I'm just basing my answer of facts.
Larger stronger and more agile than lions. Excellent swimmers too. Common misconception that tigers lack fighting skills is garbage. They are solitary and thus hunt on their own unlike lions. They also regularly fight off other tigers intruding on their territory. So not only can they hunt but also fight. And the lions mane means nothing in a fight with a tiger! It's only for attracting lionesses!
Well based on videos / facts / numbers
all well refer to the Tiger being the king of the jungle
his hunting ability / and the ability to kill anything on his way making him deserve that title more than the lion.
Lions are the real heroes because they are born to fight but a tiger hunts and eat and hide in the forest and also lion have royal lion if they hunt 10 tomes they will get 8 times there hunt but when the tiger hunts 10 times but is successful for only one or two times
Male lion hunts only animals such as giraffe, elephant, giant buffaloes, hippo, leopards, crocodiles and cheetah and many more
Lions always fight to end and to make some films people need as much as 3-5 tigers vs 1 lion. To make the film called Big Cage they needed 4 Male Bengal tigers and they were beaten one after another. they were definitely males because all of them have balls. Tigers in that film were all beaten and director of Big Cage still didn't see tiger winning. He decided to cut out lion killing, defeating and dominating tigers and not only HE chased that lion into cage but said that it was A tigress who chased lion. This was the biggest lie in history.
Lions have almost no chance to loose with a tiger. A famous tiger EXPERT Kailash Sankhala Story of the Indian tiger 1977 page 119 says a lion would beat a tiger. The tiger MIGHT have a chance to get out of this flair. Tigers because they live in deep jungles they are more flair and can swift out somehow and escape. Lion wouldn't chase it, after 300 yards it will asume dominant posture. As tigers are hevier they are slower. In some fights ...more
3-5 tigers to defeat a male lion. Come on use a little common sense. That's probably the dumbest statement that I have ever heard in my life

Lion's are always stronger than to the tigers, and then my hope is lions are the number 1 & tigers are the no.2.V 105 Comments
I'm glad I picked this one because someone putted a lot of words and detail but they said they love all big cats and animals which is my comment! As I was saying I'm keeping as a pet lions, tigers, panthers, jaguars, leopards, cheetahs and lots lots lots lots more so you better watch your words animals are in my blood because there cute, playful, funny, clean and their very INteresting to watch and play with and I had been searching and watched plus talked about animals all my life and a zillions of animals are going to kiss huge and play with me all the time and I will never ignor and leave them by my side and one day I asked god that I wanna be the queen of mother nature because I'm going to protect feed play and give them lots of love no one loves animals more than me have a nice day P. S I bet animals will attack and hate you1!
I love the beautiful lightning speed of cheetahs. Strength is nice, but speed and grace win it for me. It's hard for me to choose a favorite, though, because I love all big cats and all animals.
So you must love lions then, the Kings of the Beasts. Please do and vote for them
Cheetahs are so fast and they are a beauty of big cats there are 5 breeds of them and they are Cheetah, King Cheetah, American Cheetah, Melanism Cheetah and Albinism Cheetah. They are my favorite animals but I love all animals.
You learn something every day. I didn't know there were five breeds. Are there big differences and are they all still around? - Noodle55
Very great.V 73 Comments
Jaguar have the strongest bite of any cat period, they are faster then lions and tigers and the are the best swimmers. Unlike lions who sleep and roll around for 90% of their entire lives, jaguars are more active and are spending their time hunting cooler prey. Crocodiles and anacondas scare lions, but they don't stand a against the fearsome Jaguar. Tigers are endangered which is a shame for a predator with such a cool design, but that just proves jaguars are superior and can go the distance. Also Jaguars may not be faster then cheetahs, but your silly little cheetah would get curve stomped by a Jaguar. Also this is 100% subjective but I think their pattern is the coolest, but that is just my opinion. I hope you people see it my way.
I think that jaguars should be first because they can take down anaconda and some can even take down crocidiles and the only cool thing about cheetahs is that there very fast and I never heard of a tiger taking down anacondas or crocs and lions there's really nothing really cool about them the only thing is that the have puffy hair and just to let you know experts are saying that there thinking jaguars are the strongest cats they have a way better bite force than a lionns have 600 bite force tiger haves 1050 bite force and the jaguar haves 2000 so get it right bro
The Jaguar doesn't drag it's prey into trees like the Leopard because it has no challengers in its region. It kills by crushing through the skull or spine with the strongest bite force of any big cat. It swims all the time and very efficiently due to the many waterways in its region. The Jaguar is only the third largest big cat and is significantly smarter and more cunning than lions. They kill fully grown crocodiles as well. Look up some Jaguar crocodile videos on YouTube. See the greatness!

Leopards are graceful, tree-climbers, not only a great cat because of being a king of its trees they rule ground and trees! They are worthy of king just like tigers! I mean they must be strong to haul x2 their body weight up a tree! Don't you think!
They are so cute. This is off topic but I need help. My best friend moved away, and I have had a hard time with it, she never answers to calls and can barely facetime or Skype. But last night my new best friend called me telling me that she was moving to California, just like my other one. I really want to stop her move, and I don't know how and have a feeling I won't change anything. Some one please answer, I will be cheaking this daily for advice. To answer me say: Answer to Leopard lover. Please help me, it would mean a lot.
Answer to leopard lover: Tell her how you feel, and if she does move away give her a note to hang in her room that says "Skype(Your Name)" And make her vow to Skype you everyday! If she misses one night ask her why, it could be either I had a piano recital, and you be like okay, not her fault. But if its something like Oh yeah I got home late and I forgot... you say okay... but then if she misses it periodically then there is something going on. Hope this helps!
One of the smartest big cats. It's sad that they end up at the bottom of this list.V 26 Comments
Ruler of the snowy mountain tops, graceful and agile with excellent balance, beautiful coat for which they were hunted, not to mention the adorable fluffy fur, big feet, and long tail! The Snow Leopard is severely underrated. - Kit
I love them they catch there prey easily where they live in the snow! The babies are so cute and love to cuddle up to anything warm laugh out loud email me at [email protected] K12. Mo. Us and tell me what you think
The snow leopard is by far the greatest of the big cats. It is considered to be the stealthier of all the big cats. It can become basically invisible.
Longest jump of the animal kingdomV 27 Comments
What? How is a cougar 10th? There is without a doubt if all the cats were the same size, the cougar would dominate all cats. Cougars are way better than lynx and bobcats. A bobcat or lynx couldn't kill a wolf but a cougar could easily kill a wolf. I've seen fights between a cougar and a lynx/bobcat and the cougar dominated them. Cougars kill prey bigger for there size. If a cougar were the size of a lion then they would kill the biggest prey. Cougars are also very pretty. There is no denying that.
Let's get really stupid with the "this cat would beat that cat" idiocy. If the bobcat could throw grenades then it would beat a puma quite easily. Grow up. - Noodle55
Yes Cougars are kinda big but not really. Usually 130-200 pounds. About 5-6 feet in length. They look really skinny but are so pretty! Cougars are considered big cats because they can't roar. Sp they aren't small but are considered small cats. So Cougars are the best cat!
you know you're awesome when you have a shoe named after you - bendanna
The mountain lion is my favourite animal and I have a cat myself called scratchy. I own animal rescue and I really want one of those in my animal rescue.V 15 Comments
Black panthers a beautiful, mysterious creatures that deserve more praise than they get. They are stealthy, and have excellent camouflage which makes them dangerous predators. Vote or don't, but in my opinion, they are one of the most wonderful animals discovered on Earth.
I don't get how the Black Panther is 8th considering it is basically a black version of a leopard and jaguar. Also Panthers are the best at hunting out of all big cats especially at night. They are also the third or Fourth Strongest Cats after the tiger and lion.
Correct, and leopard or jaguar whose spots have grown and merged. Fabulous creature. - Noodle55
Black Panthers are underestimated they are the best at camouflaging especially during the night amongst all big cats. There also the third or fourth strongest as the tiger and lion are stronger.
I hope I see a black panther in a zoo because I've never seen a panther in my hole in tire lifeV 31 Comments
I hate poachers. I am a big fan and I love big cats and people are sick and mean and stupid because when found out they will go to jail. People if you have a heart, please vote. This leopard is very beautiful, and no matter what somebody would pay me I wouldn't kill this leopard for nothing, or any big cat for that matter. You would be an angel if you could help it survive. Please vote. It would be so sad if it went extinct.
I really hate poachers. They might get caught for killing wild cat but that does not change the fact that they killed one. I would give away every non-living possession that I have to save a family of wild cats because some humans are cruel to wild cats when they have done nothing against humans. Please help these wild cats in every way you can!
I love the amur leopard. Not only is it almost extinct, they are very beautiful. Come on guys they have only 35 left in the wild!
Aw why do poachers do this thing? It is super mean.
This cat is very beautiful.
Save them please.
There are only 35 left.
Please save them
There so strong and muscular they eat bear's look it up
I believe these are scientifically proven to be the strongest cat

I love these animals they are one of my FAVORITES!
They're my favorite wild cat. They're so pretty and they're good hunters.
The lynx is amazing
How could this be so low on the list? Lynxes are beautiful animals who diserve much more attention, while the lion and tiger are stealing the spotlight, the lynx slinks in as my top favorite! - ClawdacatV 10 Comments
Clouded leopards are very beautiful and are excellent at climbing trees. They are almost invisible in the trees with their beautiful spots.
I think these are most unique in their pattern and locale. Just see one to fall in love with them.
There's nothing to add. I cannot understand when someone did not fall in love with them.
This is is almost the same size as a lynxV 1 Comment
Tigers are strong but are not in the same league of the male lion. The density of the Lion's bones and muscles goes in favor off the lion. The lion is stronger built at the point of being one of the toughest animal on earth. He possesses more stamina than a tiger and is strike carries more weight. The tiger's strike as little effect on a mature male lion. The difference is obvious when we see them hunting. Tigers use swiftness more then power when hunting and must do fast results. Tigers are not capable for long sustain efforts. If they fail one they usually don't do a second try. They easily retreat when they confront serious opposition. Rarely do frontal attacks unless it is safe they usually go by the back. They generally avoid combats. Being stronger and tougher, not as flexible as tigers lions get the job done by using more brutal force at a regular basic while at the same time having domestic combats and more serious combats as well. They can afford it because there are ...more
The lion/tiger hybrid. The largest cat on earth. - Zahveed
I like ligers, but the mother needs to be cut open so the baby will come out. Also due to the lack of growth hormones, it will literally grow it self to death, because it is a breed of two animals that would never meet in the wild. So, to conclude, I like ligers, as I said earlier, but it is humans "playing" God by breeding two animals that would never meet, let alone mate, so it causes harm to the mother and the child.
Also, I found out that in a few years, Hercules the liger will weigh about 2,500 lbs.

Good but far from enoughV 4 Comments
Some of these Bengal tigers tend to grow even stronger than Siberian tigers! And these things kill CROCODILES as if they were nothing! And my word, they are super-smart and courageous. They can also climb the straightest of trees!

They are the biggest and more powerful cat in the world plus they are my favorite too

NZL Sailing Team- Kiwis chase Bronze in Finns and top ten in Nacra 17s
by Jodie Bakewell-White on 27 Jul 2013
Tight racing on Day 4 of the 2013 Finn Europeans Robert Deaves/Finn Class
New Zealand will feature in the medal races at both the 2013 Finn European Championship and the 2013 Nacra 17 World Championship with kiwi Finn sailors Andrew Murdoch and Josh Junior among a tight group who will battle it out for the lower podium spot in Germany.
Lying ninth Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders have earned a start in the top ten line up medal race at the inaugural Nacra 17 World Championship in the Netherlands.
Both of these key Olympic class regattas finish overnight tonight (New Zealand time) in Europe.
For the 103 Finn sailors in Germany it was another tough day with light winds, postponements, a mass of failed starts and just one race result recorded. Both the kiwis survived the situation to remain in contention for the bronze medal, with Murdoch a long shot for silver.
Today he placed fifth lifting him to third position overall with 48 points, Josh Junior is fifth with 54 points with Postma of the Netherlands sandwiched between the kiwis and well in the hunt on 50 points. Leader Vasilij Zbogar added another win with a seven point buffer heading into the final medal race.
Andrew Murdoch reports; 'Today was a pretty tough again with pretty similar conditions to yesterday. I had a terrible day yesterday so it was good to redeem myself.'
'And for tomorrow things look pretty tight for third. I have a really long shot for second but I need to win and Ed [Wright] needs a shocker. Obviously I will be wearing the bib tomorrow but that doesn't really mean a thing until the medal race is finished, so we should have a good battle for third.'
The forecast isn't promising with very light winds predicted.
More on the top six Finn sailors…
Vasilij Zbogar (SLO)– double Olympic Laser medalist, sixth in the Finn at at London 2012 and second at last year's Europeans. Has been in control here since day one and despite a few gear breakages has sailed his best series in the Finn ever. The smart money are backing him for his first major Finn title.
Ed Wright (GBR) – World champion in 2010 and European Champion in 2006, he has been one of the very few sailors here that have been consistent over the whole week. Traditionally good in medal races so stands a good chance but realistically needs Zbogar to slip up to win.
Andrew Murdoch (NZL) – Switched to the Finn this year after two Olympics in the Laser, so heaps of experience in this situation. Only has a two point margin which means he has to beat Postma and be within two boats of Junior to take the bronze.
Pieter-Jan Postma (NED) – Flamboyant on and off the water and perhaps the most popular sailor on the circuit, he's had an up and down week. Placed fourth in London 2012 after an emotional last race and certainly a good chance to snatch the bronze on Saturday.
Josh Junior (NZL) – First year in the Finn and already making his mark. Won a race earlier this week and took the bronze in Hyeres this year. Slipped up in the last few races but clearly a talent for the future in the Finn class.
Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) – Double European Champion in 2009 and 2010. Fifth in the Olympics, but not been competing much this year after illness and time out. Always a clever sailor though, but perhaps too much to do here to win a medal. A black flag disqualification today didn't help.
The Finn fleet will come together again around one month from now in Tallinn, Estonia for the 2013 Finn Gold Cup to decide the 2013 Finn World Champion.
Meanwhile at the 2013 Nacra 17 World Championship the top 25 sailed two races today determining the top ten for tonight's final medal race. Kiwi crew Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders are lying ninth after placing 18th and 14th in the last two gold fleet races sailed today at The Hague.
While the leaders from France and Great Britain have stretched out on points the leader board is tight around the kiwis and they will be looking to finish on a high note. Regardless, a top ten showing at World Championship level in a new Olympic class is extremely promising for this young combination.
Medals will be decided and presented after the medal races at both the 2013 Finn European Championship and the 2013 Nacra 17 World Championship with

"This week -- budget blowback," Christiane Amanpour trumpeted in framing her Sunday look, at reaction to Republican Congressman Paul Ryan's proposed budget plan, through those hostile to it, asserting: "As town halls across America erupt in anger over a plan to slash spending, Republicans find themselves under fire." Amanpour maintained: "Congressman Ryan is at the center of the storm. It's his plan, of course, that has sparked the outcry. Across the country, the anger is palpable."
Instead of adding some light, however, Amanpour fueled the fire by legitimizing left-wing talking points, confronting Ryan: "People who have been studying your numbers very carefully have been saying that the numbers don't add up," since:
It also says two-thirds of the savings that you want to make in spending cuts come at the expense of programs designed for the poor, for the disadvantaged. And this is reverse Robin Hoodism, if you like – take from the poor, give back to the rich again.
With "Ryan's Plan Under Fire" as her on screen heading during most of the segment, Amanpour showed scenes from a day she spent with Ryan at town meeting in his Wisconsin district, illustrated mostly by liberal complaints to him with a few bits of praise mixed in.
In the subsequent roundtable, Chrystia Freeland, global editor-at-large for Thomson-Reuters, made a plea to increase taxes, fretting:
What I think is really missing – in both the Republican and the Democratic approach right now and is really an example of political cowardess – is taxes. We heard in your interview, Christiane, Ryan saying, "well, you know, this is about cutting spending." It's partly going to be about cutting spending, but it is also going to be about raising taxes. And that's the thing that I think no one has the courage to talk about. It's partly going to be, I think there should be more taxes on the very rich. They're doing incredibly well in this economy, but it is going to be about more taxes on the middle class, including consumption taxes.
From the Sunday, May 1 This Week with Christiane Amanpour, her segment with Ryan joined in progress:
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: At the end of the day, Congressman Ryan and I sit down to talk about the bottom line.
AMANPOUR TO RYAN: People who have been studying your numbers very carefully have been saying that the numbers don't add up.
CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN: Well the Congressional Budget Office say they do.
AMANPOUR: It also says two-thirds of the savings that you want to make in spending cuts come at the expense of programs designed for the poor, for the disadvantaged. And this is reverse Robin Hoodism, if you like – take from the poor, give back to the rich again.
RYAN: I would disagree with that. First of all, spending increases in this budget, spending on the safety net increases but it increases at a more sustainable rate. Here's the problem, Christiane, the safety net we have right now is going bankrupt. It's tearing apart at the seams.
AMANPOUR: What you're proposing, seems like it's going to put a lot of the burden on the seniors. They're worried they're not going to be able to afford the cost of health insurance.
RYAN: So, we're saying give them more money to cover their expenses, don't give wealthy people as much to cover their expenses because they're wealthy and can afford more. But we're also saying, you have to get at the root of the cause of inflation. Even President Obama is saying slow the growth rate of Medicare.

South East firm DMH likes to impress as soon as a client walks through the door, and in quite a stylish manner – the firm's Brighton and Crawley offices double as art galleries. The firm is unusual in having a dedicated gallery manager, and exhibitions showcasing the work of predominantly local artists are held regularly.
Managing partner Tim Aspinall sums up the rationale: "The work is all modern and changes every six to eight weeks. The paintings set the tone, with a very open and contemporary feel for the visitor. The feedback we've had has been excellent, with people saying that the galleries exemplify who we are. The aim is to counter the impression that law firms are conservative and stuffy and, by showing modern art, to show that we are forward-thinking and approachable."
DMH was set up in 1970, originally as Donne Mileham & Haddock, when three Sussex firms amalgamated. Aspinall says: "The DMH project really began in 1997. We appointed a new management team and it was from that point that the new values that define us were developed."
The firm sits comfortably on the premier tier in the South East, but handles national and international work as well. Recent deals include advising on the £20m financing of a retail shopping centre for the Royal Bank of Scotland and an acquisition worth £5m for Wyndham Group, one of the biggest print and publishing groups in the UK. There is ongoing work for the London Borough of Croydon – DMH has looked after the borough's litigation for the past five years, and recently won its property contracts work.
Aspinall has serious ambitions for the firm. "We aim to be turning over at least £20m, hopefully £25m, by 2007," he says. There will also be a push to develop its London presence. "The London office has more than doubled since 2001, but over the next three years we want to see it expand," he adds. "We plan to double, maybe even treble its size within three years."
But the ambition is matched by a commitment to core DMH values. "We invest a lot of time and effort in building long-term relationships with clients," says Aspinall. "We're not just task-orientated, but think about wider issues that affect our clients."
Staff development is seen as crucial. "We spend a lot of time developing people internally, both technically and as team players," explains Aspinall. He says that the firm gives fee-earners responsibility at an early stage. "It's a very challenging and exciting place. We always attract good trainees and partners."
DMH is a firm that is relatively young in years, and certainly young in outlook. But for all the modernity, in both the art and legal worlds, there is one thing that hasn't changed – the dress code. "I believe that lawyers should wear suits," says Aspinall. "And that ultimately, whoever you are in the firm, you're expected to support the culture and values and lead by example."

I currently already have a proof-of-concept prototype but it's not yet ready for prime time. I see all this more like this: let's say we want to have an instance (MODEL): <userform> <username>Torsten</username> <email>email@example.com</email> </userform> I want this model to be represented in either in XSD, relax-ng or whatever you like. The store will be an instance implementation like - DOMInstance - BeanInstance then we have views for each page in the wizard / multipage form (VIEW): page1.xml: <form> <textbox ref="userform/username"/> <button method="next"/> </form> page2.xml <form> <textbox ref="userform/email"/> <button method="save"/> </form> Now I still see actions as the CONTROLLER of choice. The buttons map to an action defining what to be saved into the instance. So we also don't have the checkbox problem. Of course writing such an action should be as simple as possible. For usual simple forms it should be even possible to specify everything via a XML descriptor. That's how I see things... -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Target gives peek at first Canadian stores in expansion push
* First three Canadian stores open on Tuesday
* 24 to open in Ontario by end of March
* Target spending $1.5 bln on Canada in 2013
* Has hired 5,000 employees, 27,000 by year end
By Susan Taylor and Solarina Ho
GUELPH, Ontario, March 4 (Reuters) - U.S. discount retailer Target Corp gave a first look at one of its new stores in Canada on Monday, showing freezers with locally-produced cakes and the country's iconic beaver-logoed Roots apparel brand, designed to appeal to Canadians in its massive expansion outside the United States.
Target's bold entry is expected to threaten a range of Canadian retailers, from department store operators to grocers and pharmacies, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc has planned its own growth spurt in Canada to defend its turf.
Target will open three stores in southern Ontario on Tuesday, the first wave of a multi-billion dollar push into Canada that will add 124 stores by this Christmas shopping season.
"We know this is an incredibly competitive retail market place," Target Canada president Tony Fisher told reporters during a store tour in Guelph, an hour's drive from the Ontario capital of Toronto. "We have a lot to learn, and so I think we're going to hit a lot of home-runs, but I think we're also going to have some misses as well." Continued...

Beach High Intensity Run Training
If you have only ever trained in a gym then you are certainly missing out of the really cool world of training outdoors. The environment around you, outside your home, close to work as so much to offer. The next few weeks our training is focusing on the beach. With a particular focus on high intensity exercises. We may not all be fortunate enough to be able to get to the beach daily, but try out your local park. It doesn't even need to be big for interval training.
The good thing with training outside is that it is interesting. We have all pounded out miles on a running machine. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it is not nearly as exciting as running intervals on the beach using the groynes to assist with raised press-ups. Training outdoors is great. You can create your own targets and goals and it is easy to monitor your progress. And it's free!
Try. 10x running between the groynes, there fast, back slow(er). Followed by pushups and some squat jumps. Repeat all of this 2, 3 or more times. What a great workout.
Remember your heart-rate monitor if you have one. It helps keep up the intensity!
