3. Find and soothe the cat as you carry him/her to the bathroom.
4. In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and sit on top, so
cat cannot escape.
5. The cat will self-agitate and produce ample suds (ignore ruckus from inside
the toilet, as the cat is enjoying this).
6. Flush toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides power rinse, which is quite effective.
7. Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and
quickly lift both lids.
8. Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry.

Peru - Tunnel Discovered
In Sacred Inca City

*Find may form part of a series of galleries, chambers, fountains and ancient
mausoleums possibly located under the city of Cuzco*
A tunnel measuring 2 km in length, linking the Koricancha temple with the fortress
of Sacsahuam¦n, located on the outskirts of the Peruvian city of Cuzco,
was discovered by Spanish archaeologist Anselm Pi Rambla, in the ancient Inca
capital. The tunnel may form part of a series of galleries, chambers, fountains
and ancient mausoleums which are probably under the city of Cuzco, according
to measurments made by Pi Rambla as part of the Wiracocha Project, initiated
in August 2000.
The Spanish scholar stated before the Peruvian Congress's Cultural Commission
that he had discovered the subterranean passageway, which in his opinion, "may
change perspectives on Peruvian history."
According to radar images obtained by Pi Rambla, the tunnel links directly to
the Temple of the Sun or Korikancha, with the Convent of Santa Catalina or Marcahuasi,
with the Cathedral or Temple of Inca Wiracocha, with the palace of Huascar,
with the Temple of Manco Capac or Colcampata and with the Huamanmarca.
All of these buildings are in a perfect astronomical alignment, which confirms
that ancient Peruvians also guided their constructions by the location of the
Sun, the Moon and the constellations. Access to a tunnel at the Sacsahuam¦n
Fortress was already known, but it was condemned in 1923 to avoid the disappearances
of curiosity seekers who entered it, since its trajectory was unknown. The archaeologist
explained that this would involve a Pre-Inca citadel, belonging to a culture
that has yet to be considered. "We calculate that it would be some 100
meters under Cuzco...the great question is ascertaining what age it belonged
to," adds the archaeologist.
In May, Pi Rambla will spearhead the excavation work aimed at confirming the
location of the subterranean galleries which confirm the stories of chroniclers
like Garcilaso de la Vega and Cieza de Le-n regarding an underground citadel
in Cuzco.

...Stepping Out of the War Mentality 10 Ways to Avoid War by
Dr. Deepak Chopra
Avoiding war can be at once the simplest and most difficult thing
to do. It is simple to see that war is always a failure, a perilous risk that
leads to immense misery. But it is difficult to get out of the war mentality
once the mind is infected by it. Even anti-war protests can
inflame the war mentality by inciting more stubbornness and resolve on the other
side. To be belligerent in the name of peace is a form of war. Therefore the
dilemma about over Iraq must be resolved in a way that is neither pro-war nor
anti-war. Is this viable?
Recently I was caught by surprise when a newspaper reporter in
Memphis said to me," You have stated that there is a creative solution
to every problem. What's the creative solution to prevent the bombing of Iraq?"
My answer caused a minor stir-both of outrage and support-because I suggested
that if Pope John Paul, Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama,
Nobel Peace Laureates, and other luminaries went
to Baghdad, bombing would be impossible. My hope was that symbols of peace might
be a startling reminder, if they physically traveled to Iraq, that human beings
exist for a spiritual purpose higher than war, however justified that war seems.
I'd like to expand on that argument. The war mentality is blinded
by fear, which fuels aggression and violence to make the fear go away. That
is war in a nutshell. The other rationales are pointless, and when we obsess
over them, arguing whether the U.S. is acting as savior, aggressor, imperialist,
peacekeeper, world policeman, or cynical oil
power, the net effect is to forget that war is about fear and using violence
to "solve" it.
If you step out of the war mentality, there are not just a few
creative ways to avoid an invasion of Iraq. There are dozens. If every person
who doesn't want war sent in his or her suggestion about a better answer, tens
of thousands of replies would flood in. Of these I 'm sure that five or six
would be completely workable. Let me mention ten to
begin with:
1. Congratulate President Bush on already succeeding. The presence of U.S. troops
around Iraq has called Saddam's bluff. Disarmament has begun. If pressure is
kept on with U.S. military presence, in the region, without dropping bombs,
further progress will inevitably occur.
2. Assign prominent figures of peace to be present in Iraq constantly, along
with the U.N. inspectors. Have these revered figures address the Iraqi people
and the world every day on the value of peace.
3. Ask 100,000 well-wishers from around the globe to bring food and aid to Iraq's
children. These people would carry humane relief in person to Baghdad.
4. Start a global Peace Corps of volunteers who will go to Iraq with the express
purpose of fulfilling any humanitarian need asked for by that country.
5. Offer MTV, CNN, and Nickelodeon free to any Iraq household with a TV. Exposure
to the world will make them feel like part of the world.
6. Sponsor 25,000 student exchanges for Iraqi high schoolers so that they can
live for a year in Europe or the U.S.
7. Keep a tenfold number of U.N. weapons inspectors on the ground in Iraq and
have them report every two weeks.
8. Teach courses in all American schools on the pros and cons of globalization
and multiculturalism, as opposed to instilling the false belief that nationalism
is going to continue to work (war being a logical and horrendous extension of
nationalism).
9. With draw the resented presence of U.S. troops from those regions where seeing
an American army uniform inflames simmering hatred.
10. Open Disney World somewhere in the Middle East., a region where up to half
the population is under the age of 15. These children are in enormous peril,
not just from bombs but from cultural isolation. Let children breathe free air
at a place where fun and joy abide. What better way to reduce fear and anger?
At the same time, find a way to
expose American children to the children of the world.
Whatever you think of these particular suggestions, the most obvious thing is
how easily they arise once you stop being infected by the war mentality. Weapons
of mass destruction are disposed of when they are seen as irrelevant. That is
what happened with the former Soviet Union. The same can happen in the Middle
East once we put our hearts into it. The choice to change history or become
its next victim faces us right here, right now.
