Cats Sitting Like Humans - LOLOLOL
You know how cats don't sit like humans? They have four legs, but get this -- sometimes, they DO sit like humans. On their butts! Like you and me!
CATS SITTING LIKE HUMANS! And...GO!

I swear the second cat looks just like my husband when he is in a pissy mood. LMAO!!! My stomach hurts from laughing
By Donna
It is so nice to see something that makes you smile. It seems like more often then not anything one reads is depressing.
By audrey morrison
so!!! funny
By DORENE PEASE
i really enjoyed the cats sitting like humans i got a charge out of the gal that said the second one looks like her husband, when he is in a pessy mood. cats are so smart, so are dogs, its amazing how they can get the cats to sit that way. dogs also. it takes alot of work, i;m sure. the one cat did look like al bundy, i watch them all the time. does anyone collects buttons, or make jewrly, my e-mail is email@example.com
By Kelly Reeves
And by the link I added up there, I meant this one: http://busterandlyla.com/post/92984742/sometimes-lyla-sits-very-unlady-like :)
By Mommyowie
LOL this is so hilarious. The first time I one of my cats did this, she hopped up onto the couch, and had one of her "arms" propped on the arm rest and then looked at me and let out a sigh. No kidding! LOL it was so freaking comical. I said to her, "Kids!". She is like a mom to a couple of the younger ones and just got through with them, right after I put my daughters to bed. And another of our felines does this position alot, she looks like a furry Buddha. It's so adorable, but wahh, I thought we had a unique group. LOL LOL....

Module 3 Q&A Call Recordings
Hello Correspondents!
Yesterday and today's calls about the Module 3 (Op-Ed) materials were wonderful! Katie Orenstein, founder and director of the Op-Ed Project clearly walked us through the curriculum for this month, and answered some of your insightful questions.
You can listen to the two calls at the following links (note, these links have been removed for security):
Call One, about 33 minutes long
Call Two, about 51 minutes long
The second call had more interactive Q&A, so if you're only going to listen to one call, I'd make it this one!
If you have any questions that weren't addressed in these calls, please send them to Rachael, myself and Katie!
And, as a reminder, the final assignment is due February 28th, with a draft due to your midwife a week prior to that. I am really, really excited to see your Op-Eds! I know that this will be a great set of assignments, and will hopefully be the first of many Op-Eds you write.
Best wishes and good luck!
Thank you so much, Scott!
Best regards,
Insha Allah
Shwe Wutt Hmon

Though i missed most of the call in day 1 and couldnt sign in day 2 cuz of net problems but listening to this recording really helps, Thank you Scott.

Freestyle finesse.
Light up the park and entire mountain with the fluid freestyle feel of the Ride Women's DVA Snowboard Binding. This mid-flexing freestyle binding excels at jibbing, jumping, and launching natural hits, thanks to a responsive Aluminum Edge chassis and tweakable Slimeback SB. This urethane highback dissipates chatter and harsh vibration, giving you a smooth, fluid feel when you're carving groomers and floating through secret tree stashes. Plus, its softer lateral flex allows you to bone-out grabs and lay into presses without excess stiffness holding you back.
Aligning your knees in an anatomically correct position, the binding's canted Wedgie footbeds enhance comfort by relieving pressure from your knees. Canting also distributes more power to your board (especially on rockered boards) for huge ollies and precise edge control. Wrapping your foot and ankle in luxurious comfort, the binding's Freestyle ankle strap uses multi-density 3D padding and formed neoprene for a ridiculously plush feel. Furthermore, you'll find the ThinGrip toe strap pulls your boot back into your binding for a seamless fit without slop.
- Aluminum Edge chassis with adjustable heelcup
- Forged Aluminum Micro-Disk (mounts to 4-hole, Channel)
- Slimeback SB with tool-less forward lean
- Wedgie footbed with EVA basepad

A Kane man has waived his preliminary hearing in Kane District Court on a burglary charge, which is a felony.
John Derrick Morrison, 28, of 7031 Route 6 Kane, allegedly broke the rear door of a residence at 333 Chase St., Apt. 1, Kane, to gain entry.
Maranda Ackley, who lives at the residence, told police the defendant was "not welcome there," court documents show.
Morrison had been sent to the county jail, but now is free on $25,000 (unsecured) bail pending his appearance in McKean County Court.
Kane Police Officer Bill Nichols placed the charges.
Kathleen V. Frank, 93, of Water Street, Johnsonburg, and recently of Kane, died Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012 at the Lutheran Home of Kane following a short illness. She was born May 6, 1918 in Johnsonburg, daughter of the late John and Emma Amacher Lynch. On Jan. 28, 1936, she married Frederick C. Frank, who preceded her in death Aug. 3, 1991.
She lived all her life on Water Street, Johnsonburg, until the past several years in Kane.
A Kane woman faces 84 felony charges linked with the alleged theft of funds from the Kane Day School at the Tabor Lutheran Church.
Ashley Nicole Wilson, 26, of 615 Maple St., Kane, allegedly took $13,377.31 in funds while serving as the treasurer of the pre-school program.
She has been arraigned before Kane District Judge Dave Engman, who set bail at $10,000 (unsecured).
Wilson is scheduled to appear today in Central Court at the courthouse in Smethport to either waive a preliminary hearing or request a hearing before Engman.
HAZEL HURST – Another application is being filed this month for PennVEST funding for the long-planned Lantz Corners sewer project.
In a report Monday to the Hamlin Township Board of Supervisors, engineer Dan Slagle of Pittsburgh said the application is expected to be considered at the PennVEST meeting in April.
PennVEST is the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, which provides funding for municipal activities such as sewer projects.
SMETHPORT – The McKean County Board of Commissioners plans to take advantage of historically low interest rates and roll over the balance of bonds issued in 2007.
Acting at their meeting Tuesday, Commissioners Joe DeMott, Al Pingie and Cliff Lane gave the green light to refinance the bonds that totaled $4.6 million when issued. The amount to be refinanced is somewhat lower because the county already has made payments on the loans.
The bonds were issued, in part, to pay for courthouse improvements and for the construction of the county-owned Galico Bridge in Keating Township.
Joyce M. Wallin, 85, formerly of Sheffield and Ludlow, died Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, at Warren Manor.

Ms. Wallin was a member of Moriah Lutheran Church in Ludlow and also belonged to the American Legion Auxiliary and the Wildcat Park Auxiliary.
She was the owner/operator of Joyce's Beauty Shop and at different times had worked at New Process in Warren and Grabowski's in Sheffield.
HAZEL HURST – After months of discussion on the issue, the Hamlin Township Board of Supervisors voted 3-0 Monday to approve a request from Shell for a waiver in the Stormwater Management Ordinance (SMO).
Board Chairman Don Compton joined with Supervisors Guy Raught and Joni Britton to approve the waiver for a proposed pipeline and meter station linked with a Marcellus Shale natural gas well drilled by the Shell Exploration and Production Company.
Ned J. Kopp, 80, of 313 Welsh St., Kane, formerly of St. Marys, died Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012 at the Kane Community Hospital.

Lexus LF-NX Crossover Concept Premieres!
Would you look at that. While we were busy paying attention to spy shots of Lexus' new sports car, they were busy putting together a new concept for the Frankfurt Autoshow without us knowing. This edgy piece of hardware is the LF-NX concept. When I say "edgy" I mean that literally: this thing looks like it was styled with a knife. But it's also edgy in the sense that it's their first foray into the small crossover space. Exciting times.
Lexus has also done a number on the interior. They're calling it a "continuation of their 'Human Oriented' l-finesse design." The soft parts actually look remarkably like the production interior of the new IS and GS. Still, this a concept car, so the center console looks appropriately like it was ripped out of Star Trek.
Check out the car for yourself in the gallery below. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Bethenny Frankel stepped out with daughter Bryn Hoppy in NYC today, and she looks so grown up! She's so adorable, and she's definitely starting to look a lot like her dad. Bethenny's talk show is really happening now after over a year of prep. She's scheduled to begin syndicating 95% of national markets starting September […]
Current Category: Bryn Hoppy
Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy are in the midst of a nasty divorce. The two had been married for nearly three years when Bethenny filed and although they couldn't make things work, she never thought they would be where they are now. In fact, at the time, she told the press that they would remain amicable. Following a couple of court appearances and disputes over custody, support, property, and insurance, Bethenny is speaking out about her messy split.
Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy parted ways at the end of last year following nearly three years of marriage. While the couple reportedly signed a prenup before they wed, that hasn't stopped things from getting ugly. After heading to court on Friday, the former couple was ordered to undergo a parenting evaluation — and Bethenny is reportedly none too happy about it!
Bethenny Frankel filed for divorce from her husband Jason Hoppy last week in New York City, and according to a new report, she's not playing games. Not only does she want to end their marriage, she also wants to make sure that she gets what's rightfully hers, which means child support — and more.
Bethenny Frankel and her daughter Bryn have been living it up lately. The mother-daughter duo has been all over New York City this week having ice cream dates, going for walks, and most recently, visiting a playground. Yesterday, the former Real Housewives of New York City star and her two-year-old tot were spotted at a park near her Tribeca home and boy, were they having a ball!
Bethenny Frankel released the first photos of her newborn baby girl Bryn Hoppy to People. Baby Bryn was born 12 days ago, May 8, a month ahead of schedule: a tiny preemie at 4lb, 12oz, but still healthy. Baby B doesn't play, she must've been listening to all the show-producing going on in her mommy's […]

My sister commissioned a hot pink maxi skirt like Anthropologie's Lengthening Rays Skirt (which cost $128 and is made of polyester chiffon).
My version was made of real silk chiffon, cost less than $25 to make (thanks to the awesome discount fabric store near me, which just happened to have the perfect color of hot pink chiffon for ~ $6 a yard)
I liked it so much, I made myself one in dark teal.

How Not to Fight a Dictator
Scott Ritter, a former officer in the US Marines, spent seven years with UNSCOM, the last two as head of the Concealment Investigations Unit. He gives an original and vivid account of the work of the inspectors in all its drama and frustration. Ritter is the kind of single-minded and conscientious intelligence official who is not always appreciated by, or appreciative of, the higher command, with its wide and diverse problems. Indeed he is scornful of the crosscurrents, the compromises, and the pressures that often go into making high policy. He is impatient with the very idea that there are often hard truths which those higher up do not wish to hear. (I sympathize, having tried, unsuccessfully, in 1944, as an airborne forces intelligence officer, to alert the Allied command to the appalling risks of the forthcoming Market Garden operation in Holland.) During the Gulf War, while still working for US military intelligence, Ritter reported that the Desert Storm coalition's air and ground effort had not destroyed a single Scud missile launcher. This news, while accurate, was not welcomed by the US military commanders. As the Cockburns comment, "Such independent thinking was not likely to enhance his career prospects."
One subject about which Ritter's book is uncharacteristically restrained is the perennial Iraqi accusation that UNSCOM was just a tool of United States intelligence, and the truth about the CIA's relationship to the commission. Although there have been press reports about the CIA's using UNSCOM for getting information about the Iraqi regime—information that went far beyond the concerns of arms control—there is very little in Ritter's book about this crucial subject. He does refer to a CIA team, under a man he calls "Moe Dobbs," which had been made available by the US to UNSCOM to act as inspectors. Dobbs and his people unaccountably left Iraq for good after a prolonged "standoff," or blocking, by the Iraqis of UNSCOM's attempt, in June 1996, to inspect Special Republican Guard facilities believed to conceal material and documents related to weapons of mass destruction. Chairman Ekeus was concerned that if this resistance to UNSCOM inspection were to be interpreted as a "material breach" of the Security Council's resolutions, the result would be immediate United States air strikes. Therefore, to save the inspection process, he negotiated a compromise on the inspection of sensitive sites with the Iraqi foreign minister, Tariq Aziz, on June 21. This action was extremely unpopular with the United States, which seemed, at least, to prefer confrontation. "But there would be no war," Ritter writes, "and the inspections would continue."
Two weeks later an Iraqi official assigned to accompany Ritter asked him "why you are allowing yourself to be used by the CIA and Mossad for their purposes." He told Ritter of the thwarted coup in June. The attempted UNSCOM inspection that resulted in a standoff had been timed, he said, to create a crisis that would justify the United States in launching cruise missiles in support of the coup attempt. Ritter thought about "Moe Dobbs," and comments ruefully, "…I began to understand the Iraqi point of view."
There seems to be more to the story than that, and most of it to Ritter's credit. In a recent article in The New Yorker,3 Seymour M. Hersh gives a detailed account of both the CIA's efforts to use UNSCOM and its antagonism to Ritter. In the spring of 1998 UNSCOM's interception system began to tap into Saddam Hussein's most closely protected communications and to expose Iraq's weapon concealment program. The CIA, however, had a different agenda and evidently felt that UNSCOM, although it had initiated the intercepts, was in the way. The agency wanted to take over the processing of UNSCOM's intercept intelligence. According to Hersh, the CIA persuaded Richard Butler, Ekeus's successor, to cooperate and took over control of the intercepts in April 1998. (Butler disputes this account.)
Ritter and his colleagues felt threatened and betrayed by this move. (In his book, Ritter only says that the "enhanced intelligence system so painstakingly put together began to be dismantled piece by piece at the behest of my own country.") Apart from the abuse of a bona fide international arrangement, the CIA's intrusion made UNSCOM inspectors vulnerable to prosecution by Iraq on espionage charges. Far from being used for arms control, the intercepts were now being used by the US to concentrate on Saddam Hussein personally and on ways to get at him—not his missiles and warheads. Ritter apparently urged Butler to close the entire intercept operation down, but to no avail.
This was only the latest incident in a long history of CIA resentment of what the agency regarded as UNSCOM's intrusion on its rightful turf. Ritter had tangled with the CIA on several occasions in the past. Hersh describes, for example, how Ritter had heard through UNSCOM's sources in Israel that two shipments of Russian gyroscopes had reached Iraq through Jordan. Ritter wanted to arrange with the Jordanians to put beacons on some of the gyroscopes still in Amman so that they could be traced once they were in Iraq. The CIA then claimed that the gyroscopes should be under the control of the US and told the Jordanians that Ritter was unreliable.
The CIA even sent CIA teams into Iraq disguised as UNSCOM inspectors, who used UNSCOM equipment and office space. When Ritter learned of this scheme he formally notified Ekeus's American deputy, Charles Duelfer, but not Ekeus himself. Hersh quotes Ritter as saying "I was walking the line between being a good American, which I place above all else, and doing my UNSCOM duties with full integrity." Ritter acknowledges that this was not his finest moment. He realized that the CIA's use of UNSCOM, if revealed, would discredit not only the commission itself, but also the entire process of international arms inspection and control.
The CIA has certainly contributed much to the demise of UNSCOM, to the discrediting of the United Nations, and to the current impasse in Iraq, which, Hersh concludes, "with no inspectors on the scene and American bombs falling daily in the no-fly zones, is a devastating setback for arms control…." It is hard to see how such grave damage can easily be undone. Perhaps one of the public apologies that are now in fashion, along with a clear declaration of a change in United States policy, might be a start. The strong possibility that all sorts of warlike material is now flowing into Iraq from Russia only adds to the ominous picture.
Ritter's position first became publicly controversial during the chairmanship of Ekeus's successor, Richard Butler, who took over in July 1997. After six years, there were growing doubts about UNSCOM's mission. It had been widely assumed by UN members that when UNSCOM had satisfactorily completed its task, this would be the signal for lifting sanctions; but support for sanctions was eroding fast. Even the Pope was denouncing them. Ritter specialized in surprise inspections of particularly sensitive targets such as presidential buildings and ministries; he would then check the results against what was known of the Iraqi concealment program. UNSCOM had had some successes with this technique in previous years, but by 1997 the overall political situation surrounding UNSCOM was changing.
In March 1997, after Clinton's second inauguration, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said that the United States did not agree that sanctions would be lifted even if Iraq fulfilled its obligations concerning the disposal of weapons of mass destruction. For Saddam Hussein this meant that there was little to gain from cooperating in completing the work of UNSCOM. (In much the same way, the demand for "unconditional surrender" in 1943 deprived the Nazis of any motivation for not fighting on to the end.) The only means of punishing Iraq's refusals to allow UNSCOM inspections was through US and British air strikes, which had less and less support in the Security Council and throughout the world. For Saddam Hussein therefore, a promising new long-term strategy could be to provoke a crisis with UNSCOM from time to time, risking periodic air strikes. He would thus promote the increasing isolation of the United States on the Iraqi question, as well as the demise of UNSCOM and the growing anti-sanction mood in many nations. If this strategy succeeded, Saddam Hussein would be able to keep whatever remained of his weapons of mass destruction program, and perhaps see the end of sanctions as well.
This was the background to Ritter's efforts as director of concealment investigations and his eventual resignation in August 1998, which he describes in detail in the prologue to his book. By 1998 there were basically two people who could provoke a confrontation. One was Saddam Hussein with his on-again off-again cooperation with UNSCOM. The other was Ritter with his policy of surprise inspections of "sensitive" sites.
Ritter denounces the US administration, and especially Madeleine Albright, for undercutting his aggressive inspection policy and putting pressure on Richard Butler—who strongly denies his charges—to rein him in. His only hero in the US administration is UN ambassador Bill Richardson, who apparently supported Ritter's damn-the-torpedoes approach. In his resignation statement Ritter said, "The illusion of arms control is more dangerous than no arms control at all," and he would not be a party to such an illusion. For an arms control inspector this may well be a sound and courageous position, but it does not take into account the complexities of the relationship between the US and Saddam in 1998.
Other considerations certainly influenced the apparently inconsistent US policy of sometimes restraining UNSCOM and sometimes launching air strikes. The last of these, Desert Fox in December 1998, was justified by the US as a response to Iraq's refusal of access by UNSCOM to eight "presidential sites." It seems finally to have put an end to the practical working of UNSCOM, with both sides declaring victory.
If Saddam Hussein's repeated provocations of a crisis were part of a new long-term policy of eroding international support of the United States, it was in the US interest not to fall in with it. (The Cockburns report that on August 5, 1998, when Saddam Hussein announced once again that Iraq was ending all cooperation with UNSCOM, Tariq Aziz was heard on an intercept angrily complaining to Russian Foreign Minister Primakov that "the Americans are not reacting" to the Iraqi move.) Thus, the perspective of a courageous international inspector and the policy of the government of a world power with multiple concerns and responsibilities inevitably came into conflict.
Both the Cockburns and Ritter are dismissive of the efforts of Kofi Annan, the secretary-general of the United Nations, and particularly of his visit to Baghdad in February 1998 to arrange for the resumption of UNSCOM inspections and avoid an American air strike. (I must here declare an interest, having worked closely with five of Annan's predecessors, all of whom at one time or another became scapegoats when their efforts to achieve peaceful solutions proved to be only temporarily effective.) Ritter even goes so far as to compare Annan with Neville Chamberlain and calls his chapter on the subject "Black Umbrella Days." The banality and cheapness of this comparison do no credit either to Ritter's knowledge of history or his appreciation of the enormous complexity of the Iraqi problem. It contrasts oddly with Ritter's comment, quoted above, on a similar negotiation by Ekeus in 1996.
Ritter's judgmental style is very much in evidence in his chapter on Kofi Annan, and it needs challenging. He says, for example, that he had a copy of "a confidential letter from Tariq Aziz to Kofi Annan, dated the same day as the Memorandum of Understanding, that constituted a secret protocol" to the effect that "the inspections of presidential sites would be a one-time event, after which the secretary general would seek to get the economic sanctions lifted." This sounds like a dramatic disclosure but it is not. The truth is that after signing the memorandum, Tariq Aziz wrote a letter asking for further concessions. Annan gave copies of this letter to UNSCOM Chairman Butler and a few key governments. He then sent an answer rejecting Tariq Aziz's requests. Not exactly a "secret protocol." This kind of distortion undermines an author's credibility.
Annan was trying to find a way to preserve UNSCOM and also to avoid a large-scale air strike which might well put an end to it altogether. In doing this he was very well aware that he would be a useful scapegoat when things went wrong again and when no one, in the United States or elsewhere, could come up with an effective way of dealing with Saddam Hussein. Incidentally Annan's modest suggestion in 1998 that perhaps it was time to reevaluate the approaches to the Iraqi problem that had been taken so far—much criticized at the time—is exactly what Ritter suggests in his final chapter.
Indeed, what is to be done about Saddam Hussein? Ritter ends on a surprisingly doveish note. UNSCOM is dead. There is no sustainable basis for another war against Iraq, so, in his view, "diplomatic engagement" seems the best option. He advocates the appointment of a special United States envoy who would engage in direct diplomacy with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. After all the huffing and puffing about Kofi Annan's having given new legitimacy to Saddam Hussein by his visit to Baghdad in 1998, this is a little surprising. Ritter suggests that Bill Richardson, Richard Holbrooke, or George Mitchell take on this Herculean task. (They will all, I am sure, be duly grateful.)
The Cockburns insist that "the biggest mistake of all was to make the Iraqi people pay the price of besieging Saddam." They propose no plausible new plan, but urge the importance of finding ways of limiting Saddam Hussein's ability to do harm, as UNSCOM did in its heyday. They believe that Saddam's downfall will eventually come at the hands of his own people, without outside intervention. What, if anything, the so-called international community should do in the meantime, especially with regard to the very real problem of weapons of mass destruction, they do not say.
Certainly there is no easy or obvious answer to the Iraqi problem, but it would also be a grave mistake to ignore a regime that is still so potentially dangerous. After reading the revealing and sometimes disturbing books by the Cockburns and Ritter, I found myself turning once again to the quiet voice of William R. Polk in his essay in these pages two months ago. After outlining various heroic, and impractical or unwise, options, Polk proposed a pragmatic course based on influencing Saddam Hussein's conduct in ways that we can sustain, and on finding ways to make the motives that drive Saddam work to our advantage. These goals entail diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation in the Gulf, especially with regard to Iran, Saddam's most dreaded enemy; to limit arms shipments and especially the proliferation of nuclear weapons; and to embark on a long-term initiative to create a Middle Eastern zone free of weapons of mass destruction.
Another long-term aim should be to do what we can to encourage a democratic, open society in Iraq and, as Polk puts it, to try to "ameliorate the condition of the Iraqi people and to get them back on the road to economic development." These are immensely difficult objectives that will require hard work, tact, skill, patience, and a willingness to compromise on all sides for many years to come. There is no certainty of success.
Not a very impressive or eye-catching policy, perhaps. But with the international heroic age and the New World Order of the early 1990s now only a distant, and rather hollow, memory, what better course is there?

Container throughput at the Port of Wilmington jumped 11.2 percent last year from the previous year, as the North Carolina port handled more imports and exports of agricultural products.
Container traffic hit 287,467 20-foot equivalent units, while bulk and breakbulk volumes increased 16 percent year-over-year at Wilmington and 2 percent at Morehead City, the state's other major port. The North Carolina State Ports Authority said throughput at Morehead City's results were boosted by the return of woodchip operations, which had been absent nearly a decade.
The woodchip operation currently exports soft woodchips to Turkey for the manufacture of medium density fiberboard. Since July, Morehead City handled more than 133,000 tons of woodchip exports.

I love reading birth stories so I thought I'd share mine!
Ethan Michael entered the world at 40w2d gestation on 12/21/09 at 5:14P after a relatively easy pregnancy and labor. He weighed 7lbs 9ozs and was 20 inches long.
I awoke at about 2:30A on 12/21 to my water breaking. It was unlike any other sensation I've ever felt; I'd liken it to someone pouring water down my legs. You can feel it, but you really have no idea where it's coming from. After making a hasty retreat to the bathroom to put on some Depends (a tip from my childbirth class - I'm so glad I had these or I would have made a HUGE mess), I woke DH. I still wasn't in any pain, so I we stripped the sheets off the bed, gathered our last minute things, took some time to brush our teeth and feed the cat and we were off to the hospital. I was pretty much crushed that my desire to labor at home for as long as possible was out of the question, but was excited that I'd have my baby soon!
I was admitted to L&D at 4A. I still wasn't having any notable contractions. I got my heplock, and then DH and I were instructed to walk the halls, returning every thirty minutes for a heart tones check. I did this until 9A without ever developing any sort of contraction pattern. Nor did they seem to get worse. The most painful contraction I had was probably a 2 on a scale of 1-10. After much discussion with my OB, the decision was made to put me on a low dose of pitocin to see if we could "jump start" my contractions into a better pattern. The dosage was increased every 30 minutes until a suitable pattern had developed. I was dealing well with the pain, which was probably a 5. Having to start the pit was a defeat. I was now tethered to the bed, but my L&D nurse and OB tried to help me maintain a positive "I can do this naturally" attitude. I labored on the birth ball next to the bed once I started receiving the pit.
The pain suddenly became much worse and I was hoping it was a sign I was entering transition. The nurse came to check me at 12P and much to my disappointment, I was only a 4. Before the check, I'd told myself that if I wasn't at least a 6, I was going to throw in the towel. I asked for the epidural with a modicum of self-defeat. Within 5 minutes, the epi was in place and I was feeling much better, if not a little disappointed in myself.
DH and I sat and chatted and made the decision to call our friends and family and let them know I was in L&D. At 2P, my OB came in to check me - I was at an 8! Progress at last. I basically labored with no problems until about 430P, at which point I was complete and ready to push.
Pushing with an epi is the strangest thing - it's like trying to walk but not being able to feel your legs, or trying to type without being able to feel your fingers. You think you should be able to do it because of sheer muscle memory, but it's not quite that easy. Thank goodness for DH - he basically had me curled into a tiny ball around the baby. He was working so hard that I could feel his arms shaking. I would totally recommend a mirror for anyone during pushing. It was incredible to watch and I think it helped me push more effectively.
After about 45 minutes of non-eventful pushing, Ethan Michael entered the world. I had one small internal tear that required 2 stitches - my OB is a big proponent of perineal massage before and during delivery and I think this really made a difference. Ethan had some issues with breathing, so after spending probably 30 seconds on my stomach, he was taken to the baby warmer. After some suctioning and oxygen, I finally got to hear him cry. I was the most magical, entrancing sound.
We've been back at home for a few days and everything is going well. Eat, sleep, poop - such is the life of a newborn.
Good luck to everyone on their deliveries!
Ethan Michael - 12/21/09
Norah Jewel - 2/26/14

??I knew my bike could get the holeshot,? exclaimed Gibson after his heat race.ÿ ??Last year, our bikes were very good, but this year Pro Circuit did a great job with our motors and it has a lot of power.ÿ Getting a good start in these conditions is so important and I just rode a smooth race.?
The main event didn??t start as well for Gibson as a first turn pileup put him at the back of the pack.ÿ The track conditions weren??t very good from all the rain in Southern California and passing was very difficult.ÿ However, he continued to charge and worked himself up to sixteenth position.ÿ His bad luck continued after the midway point of the race and he crashed in one of the whoop sections.ÿ He continued to race through the pain to finish in twenty-first position to earn one championship point.ÿ
??Gibson rode great in that first heat,? said team owner Billy Whitley.ÿ ??The team was pretty ecstatic and I think that will help Jeff??s confidence in the future.ÿ Obviously, the main event didn??t go as planned but with the track conditions being so bad we aren??t too disappointed.?
Gibson??s teammate, Kyle Mace was a last minute replacement for injured rider, Dusty Klatt.ÿ Despite only being on the bike for one week, Mace showed signs of speed during the shortened qualifying practice.ÿ The weather-limited schedule did not help Mace since he didn??t get that extra seat time on the bike.ÿ He suffered from a bad start in the heat race and got tangled with a group of other riders at the start of the last chance qualifier.ÿ He was unable to get his bike restarted quickly and did not qualify for the main event.

Schools in Qatar
Alcohol | Clubs | Driving | Education | Health | Holidays | Hospitals | Mobile Phones | Languages | Nurseries | Post | QTEL | Residents | Schools | Utilities
A Listing of Different Private and International Schools in Qatar with Contact DetailsPrimary and secondary school education in Qatar is currently in a state of flux. There are currently two bodies controlling education in Qatar: The Ministry of Education and The Supreme Education Council. The Supreme Education Council is slowly taking over from the Ministry of Education, and is currently establishing privately managed Independent schools.
Many of these schools have better equipment and resources than the Ministry of Education schools, which also suffer from discipline problems. The independent schools currently teach some subjects in Arabic, and, in theory at least, other subjects in English.
There are problems caused by the different levels of English of the teachers, whose proficiency can range from basic to native speaker. The Supreme Education Council is investing heavily in training its teachers, and hopes to move completely to English over the next five years.
Most expatriate children go to private schools. With a big increase in the number of international schools in 2008, Qatar offers both a lot of choice and very good value for money with education.
Below we have included a list of some of the Private and International schools available in Qatar. This list is by no means all-inclusive.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Dawud Anyabwile~ Co-Creator of "Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline" (Part 1 of 2)
Welcome to ADDANAC CITY's Black History Month Celebration!
I have had the privilege and honor of speaking with several African-American pioneers and legends who have participated and prospered in the field of cartooning and/or comic book production, and I will be posting exclusive interviews with them throughout this month.
If you are a regular reader, come on in and enjoy today's offering. If you're brand-new to the world of Addanac City, then I bid you warm greetings also. You are welcome here anytime. Enjoy your stay!
I was an art major during my sophomore year at Virginia State University in 1992 the first time I ever laid eyes on the cover of this comic book. A friend of mine who was from the northern Virginia area had thrust it in my face and proclaimed, "Man, you gotta check this out!!"
I was bewildered as well as impressed. I had always considered myself to be a comic-book authority. I mean, I knew everything about everything.
I was there when Jean Grey died (the first of many times).
I was there when Bullseye assassinated Elektra.
I was also a huge fan of the Hobgoblin Saga in the Amazing Spider-Man series and I owned several Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics (the real Turtles, not the multi-colored-headband, pizza-munching Turtles, mind you).
So when I say, I was a sequential art afficionado, this was not a crown I wore lightly. There didn't seem to be a comic book printed within 1,000 miles of me that I was not aware of.
Until that moment.
What I held in my hands then was a comic book that was not published by the Big Two (which was comprised of Marvel and DC during those days).
The cover of this unknown comic sported a stern, powerful face of a brand-new African-American figure whom I was not familiar with in the slightest.
Sure, I had read a few mags that included some Black heroes within their pages. You had The Falcon, Black Panther, Luke Cage aka Power man, Black Lightning, and a few others that were sprinkled amongst predominantly Caucasian lead characters, but this was the first time that I was introduced to a Black superhero who was designed by a team of entirely Black creators.
I could tell by my very first glance at the cover of Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline #1 that this hero with the unwavering gaze and set jaw was going to be a force to be reckoned with for the long haul.
And that was just me admiring the cover.
When I carefully opened up the book and started turning the first few pages, I was completely blown away.
The drawing style was amazing and it reminded me of the graffiti art I would see around town or on television.
Some could claim that the art style was too busy or hectic, but in my
expert humble opinion, I considered the art to be intricate.
There was so much detail going on that I would read that issue a "gajillion" times and would find something new in it on each subsequent read.
I quickly became an avid fan of Brotherman, the citizens of Big City, and the extraordinarily talented creators of this compelling series. The Sims brothers, which were comprised of writer Guy Sims, illustrator Dawud Anyabwile (formerly David A. Sims), and production manager Jason Sims, quickly became my favorite new creative team.
I searched high and low, scouring every barber & beauty shop, health food store, and black-owned outlet that I could find, slowly accumulating each periodical and building my collection until I nearly had them all.
What also helped elevate this series in high regard was that, besides showcasing exquisitely beautiful artwork, it had a solid story with interesting, illustrious characters, side-splitting humor, and a larger-than-life superhero who worked days as a prosecuting attorney (a career previously unheard of for an African-American character in comics) who upheld the law, enforced justice, and possessed positive moral fiber.
Anotnio Valor aka Brotherman was not Frank Castle the Punisher, who was a character who would dispense brutal justice by annihilating anyone he deemed to be an effrontery to his own twisted ideals. Brotherman stood for "Justice".
Brotherman believed in rehabilitation and he sided with those who were oppressed and mistreated. Bloodshed wasn't necessary for him to do his job whether it was in the courtroom or in the gritty back alleys of Big City.
Finally there was a hero that young Black children (or kids of any nationality) could respect and admire. And the Sims brothers cared enough to make that happen. For that, I will always be grateful.
So, while Brotherman increasingly gained popularity, I was inadvertently inspired to create my very own team of African-American superheroes. I won't go all into who they were or post any assortment of sub-par drawings of them here (I'll save that for a time-capsule unveiling in the future )
Suffice it to say, however, I'm certain that I wasn't the only art wannabe who broke out the Bristol board and Berol Art Markers and tried their hand at creating faces that their own race could recognize and identify with.
I vividly recall the intricate plans I had for my series and the unrestrained excitement I felt while crafting these tales of superhuman feats. The creators of Brotherman lit a fire for themselves that kept countless artists warm for years to come. That is my story of encountering Brotherman. I'm sure you probably have your own.
Even if you've never actually read the series, I'm pretty sure you've at least heard of it. If not…well, you're in for a treat today because, in commemoration of Black History Month, and in honor some of the legends in the field that I hold most high (Comic-making), I was fortunate enough to be in contact with the co-creator and inimitable artist of Brotherman: Dawud Anyabwile!
Mr. Anyabwile was gracious enough to take a few moments out of his busy schedule to answer some of my fanboy questions.
This interview means a lot to me, and I hope that some of the questions I ask this living legend can help enlighten and inform my readers about the actual attainable possibility of achieving your artistic dreams.
In fact, I asked Mr. Anyabwile so many
nosy inquisitive questions that I had to break this interview down into portions.
Today I present to you Part One of a Two-Part interview. The second part will post tomorrow. So, please, have a seat, and welcome to this collabo effort from ADDANAC CITY and BIG CITY ENTERTAINMENT!
DAWUD ANYABWILE: Brotherman was created for the purpose of promoting an airbrush business that we had in East Orange, NJ.
It was not designed to start a movement or to qualify as a history maker. However, as we worked on it, we knew the climate of that time and we knew that we were embarking on something that could change the way Blacks in comics are perceived.
It was the timing of the release, the climate of the early 90's and many other elements that made Brotherman what it was on its release state.
It was not a fluke either because I already had a career dealing with the grassroots community and selling my art so I knew how the response would be well before the release of the first issue.
As far as a business decision, the comic transformed from a promotional concept to quickly becoming something that we wanted to be iconic for our people.
When we first conceptualized it, we based the concept on the men of our communities who are there for their families and neighborhoods but who would most likely go to their graves unknown.
We felt that there needed to be a metaphorical concept revolving around their dedication and discipline. Something that celebrates the soul of our many selves.
The street poetry…the families…the struggle to re-educate ourselves against all odds…our triumphs and our tragedies….
That is the foundation of Brotherman.
It was a book entitled "The Kwanzaa Kids Learn the Seven Principles" which my father published through his company Black Family Rituals Publications in 1985.
Even though this was family-produced and essentially an internal project, I was still very excited because I knew what we were about to accomplish with this book.
At the time, there were no publications for children about Kwanzaa on the market (that we were aware of), so we decided to make a book that explained the Seven Principles in a language that kids would understand.
I was 19 then and this was my first time illustrating a children's book. Although it was not a paid job, I still considered it a professional job because of its success upon its release.
It was critically hailed as a professional product but the funds coming in went to my dad to keep his business going which helped keep us fed also.
I do remember feeling overwhelmed with excitement when my father brought the first batch home from the printer. I could not wait to see kids reading it!
I have several scenarios, however most were not enough to wreck me as an individual or defeat me spiritually. I think that was rooted in the way I was raised. I was not blind to racism, so when it happens, I see it, I identify it, and I keep doing what I do.
I do remember a comment that occurred when I used to airbrush shirts at the mall in Philadelphia. This was in 1985, and a white girl wanted to see the photos of the t-shirts I did for my clientele at the mall.
As she was looking through the pictures, she placed her hand on her chest and said, "Oh my God they're all Black!".
I proudly responded, "They sure are."
She admitted that her impulsive response was based upon the fact that she was not accustomed to seeing Black characters on t-shirts and, during that time, I was breaking ground as one of the first in my city to bring that to the forefront.
I felt that if they were all white, she would just look at it as if it was another day at the mall, but to see Black images almost shattered her world. I do not respond to situations like that with shock or emotional outrage but instead I say what it is and keep it moving.
I understand that when you are on a mission to change paradigms you will face ignorance and if you already know it exists it's not as difficult to handle when the reality steps in.
Know your history.
Overton Lloyd, the album-cover artist for Parliament/Funkadelic. I have never met him face-to-face but I did get to speak to him on the phone at great length. I was able to tell him that he shifted the way I saw my own people when I came across his work on the Parliament "Flashlight" album cover. I was about 13 years old.
Another big art influence was Ernie Barnes of "Good Times" (the TV show) fame.
I never met him personally, but a student of his sent me a paper that was written about me and Ernie Barnes had signed it, saying something to the effect that I should keep at creating art. That was cool!
Finally, Mort Drucker and Sergio Aragones of Mad Magazine fame. Mort Drucker was speaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. After the lecture, I presented him with a copy of Brotherman #1. I had just published it and I was nervous to give it to him because I admired his skills so much, and I could not even believe that I was actually meeting him.
I was 25 at the time. He smiled and asked me to sign it right in front of all of these other people (including other notable greats in the industry). I was blown away!
Finally, another legendary creator whom I had the privilege to meet was Sergio Aragones. I had a table set-up next to him at one of the first comic conventions I ever worked. That was in Dallas, Texas.
Mr. Aragones was a very down-to-earth person. I appreciated his advice and I also got to meet some of his family. He was very humble too. I was inspired to be courteous like him when I got older. He motivated me to be kind and humble to the young ones coming up who may be nervous, scared, or star-struck when meeting me.
My family has been supportive ever since I was a baby. No qualms, only love. My foundation was based upon family support and cooperation.
What is a typical workday like for you?
I have a full time job at Turner Studios in Atlanta where I enjoy doing storyboards, character/background design, and a host of other types of production art for the many networks housed under the Turner banner.
When I arrive home in the evenings, I work on my personal art which ranges anywhere from comic art to oil painting.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this first installment of my interview with Dawud Anyabwile. Be sure to come back to this site tomorrow for the informative conclusion. We will discuss pertinent topics such as creative advice, ideal creative conditions, and how to deal with haters and sensitive subject matters. So, don't miss it!If you would like to learn even more about Brotherman and Dawud Anyabwile, you are encouraged to visit his official website. It's chock-full of informative tidbits and you can also order your very own Brotherman comics and also get your hands on some of the company's most current projects.

This vanilla powder is wonderful and was recommended to me by a friend. It is an improvement over the syrups...better flavor, smoother taste. There is no going back for me now. I have used it every morning in my coffee for several years and would not buy anything else! Recently, I have also sprinkled it in my plain Greek yogurt and it is fabulous for that as well! The vanilla powder plus ceylon cinnamon helps keep the calories down while boosting the flavor up! Love it! I place an online order frequently since, unfortunately, there is no store close to me.

I've been drinking Ice Blended from Coffee Bean since the 80's and I'm a huge fan. Bought the no sugar added powder for many years and when they switched to Splenda was very happy and used the powder at home in all my coffees. They switched back to Nutrisweet and somehow changed the formula where it tastes really weird now and has an aftertaste besides being unhealthy. They ruined It!

Great Addition

About Me Health Conscious
Comments about The Coffee Bean French Deluxe™ Vanilla Powder, No Sugar Added:
I love getting the NSA vanilla powder when visiting the cafes, so I thought I would try it out in-home. The taste is just as delicious and instantly adds flavor without too much sweetness/sugar. I often put milk in my tea, but am fine without it when using this powder. The only negative is that sometimes it clumps at the bottom of a mug - but that's probably due to my half-fast stirring!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only think I would tell you is to use a defferent sweetner in it. Has a bit of a after taste.
It is the best!
The French vanilla no sugar added is healthy, has a great flavor, and you can add any fruit to it to make a very tasty ice blended.It is filling. My husband and I drink it every day.
Powder clumps and does not disolve
I love CBTL Tea Lattes and was very excited about trying the Vanilla Powder to make my own lattes at home. But the product just does not perform the same way it does in the stores. Disappointing for sure.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I would buy this product again and again
I love using this powder in my coffee. I do not like milk or creamer and I use this as a substitute for this in my coffee. I used to live in CA and would go to the Coffee Bean all of the time. I live in Virginia Beach now and REALLY want a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf store to move here- any chance of this?
Best creamer ever
Can't drink my coffee without this stuff!
French Vanilla Deluxe
The flavor was bold and tasty. It was very difficult to mix. It ended up clumpy and sometimes a glob in the bottom of my cup. Not sure if there is a tip on mixing that I need to know.....
I make both icee blended coffees in the blender and hot coffees. This powder is PERFECT for both. I love it and highly recommend it!

Malaysia: Kelantan Temiar-Orang Asli To Stage Protest In Gua Musang Against Ladang Rakyat Project
Temiar members of the Jaringan Kampung Orang Asli Kelantan (JKOAK) will stage a peaceful demonstration in front of the District Office in Gua Musang, Kelantan on Wednesday, 18 May 2011 at 10am.
The target of their protest is the lack of action on the part of the state authority to keep its promise to stop all work with regard to the Ladang Rakyat (Peoples' Estate) project on their traditional lands.
Despite assurances by the Kelantan Government that clearing and planting work for the Ladang Rakyat Project in Orang Asli areas will be stopped pending a discussion between all parties, such activities have continued unabated.
Loggers have bulldozed their fruit trees and crops, as well as disturbed and exposed ancestral graves. Extensive environmental damage has also resulted. The cleared forests are being planted with oil palm on a large scale by companies who have been given 99-year-leases to use and control the land, largely excluding the Orang Asli and their land rights.
Orang Asli leaders have also been questioned by the police for interfering with such work. All this despite a stop-work order from the Menteri Besar.
The Orang Asli are unhappy that their rights and their lands are being trampelled upon in such manner, and hence their first-ever protest in Kelantan this Wednesday.
