Tigers are handsome and powerful people with an innate self-confidence and elegance. There's a sense of immediacy and an aura of electricity that surrounds it, and when it walks into a room, something always seems about to happen. Once a tiger has found its groove, it focuses on its goal with a brightly burning intensity. Male tigers, when out of their element, are sometimes mistaken for beefcake, but when you see them in their offices wearing their power suits you realize that you're dealing with incisive, authoritarian individuals.

In social situations, the tiger is an excellent host and there is no such thing as a casual party in its home. Guests can always expect a memorable occasion with an extravagance of food and drink, and yet, there is a distinct coldness to its den. Having sacrificed comfort for style, the tiger outfits its house with austere and modern furniture, and even the comfortably worn easy chairs are replaced every few years.

Unlike the family oriented lion, tigers are solitary creatures who hate to lie around doing nothing. In this regard they have more in common with wildcats and leopards, who are always on the move. Because of this antisocial nature it can be difficult to discern a tiger's true motives, and they are considered unpredictable and enigmatic. They have a strong aversion to routine in their daily life, and their spontaneity and energy infect others who are graced with their presence.

Tigers dislike small talk in the workplace and expect professionalism from coworkers, demanding the highest standards in their business dealings. With their killer instincts tigers could be excellent trial lawyers and have no hesitation in using aggression as an advantage. Acutely aware of their ability to intimidate, their single-mindedness enhances the tiger's reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Because of their preference for solitude, however, tigers are not natural leaders. While perfectly capable of assuming the role of a CEO, they prefer the challenges inherent in self-employment. Tiger businesses are invariably successful and cover a wide range of industries, from engineering to retailing.

The rugged wolf is athletic, good-looking and brimming with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive, managing to generate notoriety wherever it marks its territory. The wolf's dark reputation is mainly due to jealousy of its consistent success in work and romance. A wolf in full stride is quite impressive. Firing orders at subordinates while on the phone to customers, no one can get the job done quite as efficiently as the wolf.

With an innate understanding of the value of teamwork, it's always ready to take its place in the chain of command either as leader or as simply a member of the pack. When a wolf decides to innovate, it makes sure that it has the backing of a capable team. The wolf is clear-headed and strong-minded, always willing to compromise in the interests of getting a job done.

Wolves are facially expressive and readily communicate their emotional states with body language. They work hard at developing their social relationships, although unlike their cousin the dog they are quick to anger when they sense threats to the social order. When confrontations occurs, they sometimes react suddenly and violently, barking displeasure at offending subordinates. Close companions know to avoid their biting tongue until they resume their normal gregarious behavior.

Wolves are intensely ambitious and never shy from hard work. Socially adept, they function well in leadership and management roles as well as in jobs requiring vision and strength of character. Being a natural motivator, their instinctive understanding of group dynamics serves them well in goal-oriented tasks.

As bosses, wolves demand absolute loyalty and they provide the same allegiance to their employees. Their ability to perform under pressure helps them attain the highest executive levels, and with strong communication instincts they maintain a constant stream of notes, letters, and email to coworkers. Their instinctive understanding of the chain of command makes wolves excellent soldiers or law enforcement officers.

I feel so flattered.

Penguin or fox/otter.

Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty - everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing: the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.

Penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no equal.

But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.

Penguins are deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their abilities and are generally underestimated by others.

With their misunderstood personality, penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.

With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.

However, a lack of confidence affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise capable of and are often disappointed with their performance. Still, work never dominates their life and they always put their family first.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Agreed. The call was BS and the officiating was terrible in general. That said, and I am obviously biased, the second half (the only half I watched) was the most exciting half of soccer I have watched this WC.

So, we were robbed of a win, but our fate is in our hands. Beat Algeria and we are in. If we cannot beat Algeria, than we do not deserve to advance anyway.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

way to set out and articulate a strong brave opinion! how do you feel about the gulf oil disaster?

here's a real topic-
Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock starts with, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."

Dead Prez's Hip Hop goes, "one thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."

I get that copying lyrics is a compliment, but only if your listeners know whose bit you copied, right? Marley is too old, and Trenchtown is pretty obscure for the average DP listener to know. Was there a nod to Marley in the liner notes?

was the Peter Tosh reference in African supposed to cover for all of the Original Wailers? what?

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

while this is true it has already been said that if we cannot beat Slovenia we do not deserve to move on. As we did not beat Slovenia I fear that our fate is sealed and that even of we were to tie Algeria, our former oppressors will somehow net 3 more goals in a tying effort to move forward.

Or perhaps we cheat fate, finish first, and face Germany, who may fall to second in their group.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

If we tie and Englands loses to Slovenia we are in. If we tie and England ties we are probably in, having scored two more goals than them to this point. At least I think I have that right.

I would prefer to win the group and play Australia next. But Ghana would be good too.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

so watching Brazil NK the NK guys seemed sooooo much slower than Brazil, like second half at least NK didn't beat Brazil to one ball.

is NK just slow, or do we* look like that against Brazil too?
*we have advanced before correct? how far have we gone? round of 8?

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Lost in round of 8 in 2002 to Germany, 1-0.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

An ols friens went swimming in the Gulf and spent more time in the shower washing off the oil than he did swimming.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Wow, that is a tough issue you raise. I am going to have to really think on that one.

I think the oil disaster is a bad thing. I feel bad for the birds.
