Let me say that when I saw that this video was in black and white, I was thinking this is not going to beworth watching. You see the tiger kept initiating the battle with the snake. The unique thing about this snake is that he would not have started with the tiger and to take it a step farther the snake kept trying to get away. For in reality the smake could not eat the tiger because he was too big to eat! Now the battle was so interesting because the tiger had brought his A game when he first started attacking the snake.
Some where in his battle he let his guard down and to be honest when I saw the snake tighten his grip, I thought it was over! Let me say this that tiger and snake showed one thing and that is they both had heart... Although because the tiger had his mind set on snake for dinner, he left the snake with no other choice, killed or be killed... I think for certain that the next time that tiger attacks a python he may think twice!
Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before. But we don't hav

Man charged with bigamy had two wives living in the same complex
Charles L. Clemens Jr., 61, of Overland Park is charged with bigamy and other felonies, according to authorities.
Officials say police were called to the complex in November when the second wife went to first wife's apartment to confront Clemens and found out he was married to someone else.
Clemens was arrested this week and made his first court appearance Wednesday.
Erickson says Clemens married his first wife 22 years ago. Court records say the second marriage occurred in January 2006. Both women are in their 50s. more

Two traveling Angels
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die. "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied."When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.""Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.
Things aren't always what they seem. Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage.. You just might not know it until some time later...
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people become friends and stay awhile.. leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts.. and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!! Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!I think this is special...live and savor every moment.. This is not a dress rehearsal!
TAKE THIS LITTLE ANGEL AND KEEP HER CLOSE TO YOU SHE IS YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL SENT TO WATCH OVER YOU

Student suspended for intentionally passing gas
LAKELAND, Fla. -- A Polk County teenage student has been suspended from school because he intentionally passed gas, according to school officials.
The Lakeland Ledger reported that 15-year-old Jonathon Locked Jr. was suspended from Bill Duncan Opportunity School under a school district rule against disruptive behavior.
School officials said the teen repeatedly passed gas to make other children laugh. They said the smell also made it difficult to breathe.
Locked's father said his son isn't perfect and they're appealing the suspension, saying the district went too far with its punishment. more

Man leaning on balcomy falls 6 floors
ST. PETE BEACH — He wanted to show a woman afraid of heights that it was safe to lean over a sixth-floor hotel balcony.
Instead, David Senior, 26, of Joliet, Ill., fell four stories onto a second-floor concrete ledge Tuesday night.
Senior survived and was flown to Bayfront Medical Center, where he was in fair condition Wednesday.
The incident happened about 11:15 p.m. at the Grand Plaza Beach Hotel.
St. Pete Beach Fire Department operations commander Tom Malone said Senior is a fortunate man.
"Fall four floors and land on concrete, and live?" he pondered. "Yeah."
Senior was not a registered guest and "not a spring breaker," said James Kotsopoulos, president of Grand Plaza Resorts Inc., but had met the occupants of the room earlier Tuesday and was visiting with a group of women.
"From the conversation we had with people in the room, (Senior) wanted to impress the young ladies," Kotsopoulos said. "One was concerned about the height, so to sort of tease her he leaned back onto the rail and went over."
St. Pete Beach police Deputy Chief Dean Horianopoulos said that scenario was "certainly possible." He collected two differing accounts of what happened from people in Room 612. One had Senior sitting on the rail, facing toward the room and falling backward. The other had him holding onto the rail from the opposite side, falling back and landing outside Room 214.
"This guy is the luckiest guy in the world. There is no doubt about it," Horianopoulos said. "He's very fortunate he was not killed in this."
Horianopoulos said it appeared alcohol was a factor in the fall. Police also confirmed the integrity of the balcony rail.
Hotel guest Lori Hawkins was in a nearby room on the fourth floor when she heard someone yell: "Don't do it, don't do it."
"I heard this big 'Clump!' I didn't think it was something bad, then I looked out the corner of my hotel," she said. "I'm on the fourth floor and I saw this guy lying there and he started moving."
Hotel staff got onto the ledge — 36 feet below the balcony — through a guest room to keep Senior from falling again, Kotsopoulos said.
Hotel vice president of operations Roxann Vasalakis, who was summoned to the hotel after the fall, said the man was speaking to rescuers and trying to crawl.
Kotsopoulos said the company hasn't had a similar incident in 30 years. There were no complaints about activity in the room before the fall, he said. more

Couple arrested for locking 6 childers in U-Haul
A Pensacola man appeared in a Mississippi courtroom Wednesday to face charges that he and his girlfriend locked six children in the back of a U-Haul truck destined for California, authorities said.
A deputy pulled the couple over about 5 p.m. Monday on Interstate 10 near Gulfport, Miss., after a witness saw Feadora W. Brown, 34, and her boyfriend, Mario A. McGill, 22, load six children into the back of the moving van.
Brown said they left Pensacola about 1 p.m., the arrest report said.
Brown initially told the arresting deputy that they were driving to Houston, said Maj. Ron Pullen of the Harrison County Sheriff's Office. After further questioning, Brown said the couple were taking the children to their father's house in California, Pullen said.
The back of a moving truck isn't an ideal place for children, or anyone, to travel because of the lack of ventilation or air conditioning, Pullen said.
"They're not made for passengers," he said. "That's a cargo area, and there's no restraint system for seat belts, or seats at all."
The children were unharmed, Pullen said.
The couple have been charged with six counts of child endangerment. If convicted on each count, Brown and McGill face up to 36 years in jail and $6,000 in fines. more
