There had been a proposal...
I want to write my birth story before I forget! Everyday I forget a little piece of my experience. Supposedly there's hormones that are released after you give birth to make you forget all about the pain. I don't want to forget. So from the start of my pregnancy I've been telling myself and everyone that asked that I planned a completely NATURAL birth. Meaning no interventions, no medication, no epidural, no nothing. Just me and my breath. I feel I did everything right while pregnant. Worked out...

The North Koreans caused the advanced avoidance detection systems on both ships to fail, through the use of jamming technology. The 2:30 am collision occurred when both ships were on Autopilot. Only a failure of collision avoidance systems on both ships simultaneously, could cause such a collision. The chances of that happening are astronomically improbable. We have previously...
