you're doing it right apart from the bit where you do it wrong you're putting the address of the page in between the img tags rather than the address of the image. can't remember how you get the proper address in ie though. maybe ask sky if you can have a computer that's not from the '80s |

I'm watching a programme about tigers.
The bloke who is studying them has a chocolate Labrador named Bruiser who is trained to find scat (tiger shit). When he finds it, he freezes like a pointer.
The tiger studying bloke can tell lots of things my examining the scat. how long ago since the tiger was here, what prey animals it has been eating etc.
Great viewing.

If the labrador is missing, the expert can assume the tiger was in the vicinity quite recently?

Tom, are you familiar with the writing and works of Christopher Hitchens? He died this morning from cancer, but left behind some fantastic work. A brilliant mind who was an inspiration to many. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_HitchensRIP |

A brilliant mind who was an inspiration to many. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_HitchensRIP I was not familiar with Mr Hitchens until I watched the youtube clip. It would be very difficult to argue against him. I'm glad that I don't feel the need to. RIP. |

Great photos. It's interesting how the Boston Globe describes the photos in the past tense. I wonder if that's an American thing, or just something that the paper does, but we'd usually expect the description to be in the present tense - as the action in the photo was happening when the image was captured. For example, picture 23 the caption reads: "A girl rested on a concrete column at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin." I'd expect: "A girl rests on a concrete column at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin."  Just me? (the caption for photo 35 is written in the present tense, and to me reads a lot better than the others) |
