BAGHDAD -- A bomb tore through a busy square in Baghdad at midday Saturday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 54, the Iraqi army said, demonstrating the precariousness of the relative calm that Iraq has been enjoying for months.
THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT!
Atrios, who isn't really trying, comes up with one of these stories every day or so.
"Relative calm" my ass.
After exchanging words, Vanore said Cialella allegedly got out of his seat to confront the family when the father got up to protect them. That's when the victim was shot once in the left arm, sending others in the theatre running to safety.
Cialella then sat down to watch the movie. Police arrived a short time later and arrested Cialella and confiscated his weapon, Vanore said.

Baby gifts for Bristol Palin's impending bundle of joy are pouring into Alaska from all over the world, says Alaska's first grandfather, Chuck Heath, to the tune of "hundreds of thousands" of pieces of mail. Heath, 70, says boxes are piling up in the mail room of Bristol's mom, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. "I'd say from a half-dozen countries," Heath says. "In Sarah's mail room, there's 87 boxes -- big boxes of mail that we haven't even opened." He adds that there's no way the family will ever be able to answer every letter, although they are trying.
Why isn't the mail going to Bristol or Levi? As far as we know, Sarah had nothing to do with the impending bundle of joy.
I am looking for some quick advice. Scenario : Small black cat, very likely pregnant. Currently occupying our Hibiscus bed. Treats it like a fort. Have been wooing her with tuna, cleo etc. Have now been able to pet her and even pick her up carefully. Made three attempts with a cat carrier with resistance but no panic. Don't want to get in a furball with her as her medical history such as rabies is not known. She looks like she is carrying kittens but spine is very apparent, more so than I have seen before. She seems to know people, canned food and cat carriers (hence the problem). She is extremely wary of my live trap as well and I really do not want to panic her.
Suggestions on getting this frustrating cat brat in to the cat carrier? Anyone?

Not a one-person operation. What is your destination, once in carrier - vet? shelter? your home?
Need to let her get accustomed to you picking her up and putting her down - without a carrier anywhere in sight.
Then go back with food - and a person with a carrier a few minutes behind you (and out of sight of the cat).
Speed is of the essence. Less than 2 seconds from lift to door snap. Practice with a football if possible.

Maybe putting some catnip in the back of the carrier would work.

Like what Calvin Trillin said in The Nation a couple of weeks ago.

No, ducks don't have nipples -- despite the fact we call them breasts, birds chestal areas are simply muscle.
I have done this several times in the past but she seems to know my patented methods. As said, frustrating
Have you tried tipping the carrier straight up, door open, drop the cat in?
2 person operation is still best (to close the door), as cats can bolt out of the top in a panic in what seems like nanoseconds.
Ducks don't need nipples. They lay eggs...
Non-housed cats may try to find a safe and isolated place to give birth
My family had a cat once who decided that a "safe and isolated place to give birth" was the top bunk in the room my brother and I shared.
put the cat carrier on end, door up. easier to put her down than shove her in hz, and she'll be (a little) slower bouncing back out the door.
(i'm assuming she is so afraid of it that holding her for a bit then putting her in with a treat won't work)
"Ek -- why do you want to put her in a carrier?"
Need to get her to the vet. Also at a minimum, getting her into controlled circumstances. Her nesting spot is completely exposed and it looks like weather is coming.
Ducks don't need nipples. They lay eggs...
ellroon with shoes
Well, Bush's been laying them for eight years now. Maybe that accounts for the extra one.
ok, got it.
try wrapping her in a towel. This will take two people. Yes, long sleeves, and gloves if she's bitey.
If you have a big carrier, like one for a dog, that will be easier. Or even a training crate, placed on its end.
She's not gonna be happy, so don't even worry about that.
Don't get bit.

Sen. Reid, however, faces a potentially tough fight. A recent Research 2000 poll of likely voters put his approval rating at 38% and his disapproval rating at 54%, a possible reflection of voters' displeasure with gridlock and partisanship in Washington. And while Nevada broke for President-elect Barack Obama by 12 percentage points in November, the state voted for President George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Why would a cat feel bad because their ape servant has an opposable thumb?
Sen. Reid, however, faces a potentially tough fight. A recent Research 2000 poll of likely voters put his approval rating at 38% and his disapproval rating at 54%, a possible reflection of voters' displeasure with gridlock and partisanship in Washington.
A few weeks back Senator-elect Jeff Merkley sent me a letter asking to send turkee to Reid.
Um, I don't think so. Rewarding collaborators is not my style.

And while Nevada broke for President-elect Barack Obama by 12 percentage points in November, the state voted for President George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.
Wishful thinking. Too bad Murdoch, you future convict.
I think from reading the comments that I need a bigger carrier. On end sounds good as well. I may try the blanket option in there also but have to wait for the wife to come home.

Las Vegas casinos requires suckers in the house but they don't want them playing for their side.
I just had the cat-carrier experience this morning -- little Frango *hates* being picked up and he's not a good sport about the carrier in the best of times. So I tempted him within reach with a promise of his daily Fancy Feast treat, grabbed him and dumped him in there before he knew what was happening. That was a pleasant surprise; I had allowed half an hour for capturing & carriering. So we went off to vet nice & early. (And he got his Fancy Feast as soon as we got home.)
EkCenTrik, I hope your cat-carrier adventure goes as smoothly.
Head first is pretty fucking hard to do, IME.
I guess I usually use a carrier that opens from the top.
We have a carrier with a zipper around the top. I hold the cat at the chest, immobilizing its front legs, and lower it quickly into the carrier, then put my hand against the back of its neck as I zip the carrier shut, pulling my hand out at the last second.

I got exactly to that point but she resisted. I can't struggle with her like I do my regular guys unfortunately.

Hmm, I wonder how she would take going to the vet in a large laptop bag.
Not sure which OS though, Leopard, Tiger or Panther.

As long as there's ventilation, it doesn't matter.
Well, call the vet first... I know, for example, at the shelter I volunteer at, they won't take feral cats unless they're in specific types of carriers...
this is a good illustration of how bad the economy is: i went to BAD BATH & BEYOND.
now, this is *not* an obscure location....66th st across from lincoln center.
there was only *one* other customer besides me in the WHOLE TWO-STORY STORE!!!!
...& the other person was a homeless woman who had peeled off all her layers & was taking a nap in the heated massage chair!
i did get some good bargains...like the flannel sheet set i looked @ in october....it was 49.99 then, which i thought was too much.
but now its 19.99!
& while i can enjoy that savings personally, thats just one part of a BIG UGLY PICTURE!
