SAN ANTONIO -- Police were searching for an armed robber who knocked off a north-side gas station for $50 early Tuesday morning.
The suspect, wearing a red and black bandanna over his hair and a red bandanna over his face, entered the Exxon store around 4 a.m. with what appeared to be a handgun, San Antonio police said.
The suspect demanded cash and fired a single shot while running away from the gas station, police said.
Officers closed off the area and launched the department's Blue Eagle helicopter but were unable to find the suspect.
Upon investigating, police said the suspect's weapon was actually a pellet gun.

are you using pillows between your knees? It should help some. I'm having the same problem and a pillow does help some but not completely. I'm constantly waking up to pee, or b/c i'm hot or just sore.

Post-editing of machine translated (MT) text is becoming mainstream in the translation industry. Several factors have contributed to this:
- Companies are demanding more for their money.
- Content explosion! The amounts of content keep on growing and there are not enough human translators to do all of the work
- Improvements in MT have made post-editing more economically viable and less of a compromise to translation quality.
Many translators and translation companies still refuse to deal with post-editing of MT. But the big companies are doing it and they are setting the trend for the future. SDL says that they post-edit over 200 Million words per year (click here to read about it on their website). It is only a matter of time and post-editing of MT will become a de-facto standard.
A few days ago, I had an interesting thought: what if we were to take machine translation (MT) output and stick it into a grammar checking application. Would it help improve MT quality? And if so, should you be integrating grammar tools into your post-editing process?
We ran a series of tests which anyone (with an Internet connection and MS Word) can do on their own. We took some benchmark text, ran it through the MT and then ran the grammar/spell checker in MS Word. We did this in several languages (MS Office provides grammar checking tools in multiple languages).
The results were reasonably enouraging: both the spelling and the grammar checker finds mistakes in the MT output. And even if the the grammar checker only improves the MT marginally, it provides human editors with some additional examination points in the review process. So it is probably a good idea to incorporate grammar/spell checking into your post-editing process.
But I found something in our tests which was puzzling: when we translated the benchmark text using Microsoft Translator and ran the output through the MS Word spell/grammar checker it came up with errors both in spelling and grammar. Now wouldn't it stand to reason that Microsoft would integrate its own tools into its MT process in order to improve the MT output quality?
I put this question to Will Lewis of Microsoft Research, the team that develops the Bing Translator, and this is what he had to say:
This is an interesting idea, something we've talked about, but is not something we've experimented with. We didn't pursue it mostly because the kinds of errors that MT makes are not the same that speakers of a language will make. Since the grammar checkers are tuned to language speakers, not MT, the corrections will be of less use in an MT scenario. That being said, there is some value in seeing what improvements the grammar checkers would make, especially as the quality of MT improves.
Mr. Lewis' approach to the use of grammar checking tools in post-editing of MT output is corroborated in a reasearch project done by the Department of Computer and Information Science at Linköping University in Sweden (click here to read the research paper). The conclusions of the research team in Sweden are:
(a) use of commercial grammar tools will not improve the quality of MT significantly but can still provide value in the editing process; and
(b) there is a need to develop special grammar checking tools which are designed specifically for MT output. These tools can be integrated into the MT software itself or can be run as a standalone application on the MT output.
So who will be the first company to introduce special grammar tools for MT? SDL? Microsoft? Google? You? Let's wait and see.

- Sheets of adhesive backed craft foam
- Beads, trims (optional)
- Make sole pattern by drawing around doll's foot.
- Cut 2 soles from foam for each pair of sandals.
- Turn pattern over-cut 2 more soles.
- Pair up 1 sole from step 2 to 1 from step 3 [twice] Non-adhesive sides will be against doll's foot, adhesive sides will be together.
- Cut ½ inch strips from foam for top of sandal [approximately 4 ½ inches long].
- Remove paper from 1 sole.
- Place against bottom of doll's foot with adhesive side down.
- Wrap ½ inch strip over top of foot, attach ends onto adhesive on bottom [do not remove paper from strip so it will not stick to foot].
- Remove paper from other sole for same foot.
- Carefully place adhesive side to adhesive side, encasing ends of strip.
- Cut ¼ inch strip for edge of sole approximately 7 ½ inches long.
- Remove paper as applying to sole.

I could've been had fame
Cause you couldn't get around the last name
So my cross-over wins the last game
from Nicki Minaj (Ft. Natasha Bedingfield) – Last Chance Lyrics on Genius
At the beginning of Nicki's career people just saw her as another female rapper trying to sell sex. Her last name, Minaj, is a play on the phrase, ménage à trois, a French word meaning a sexual threesome.
Minaj is just a play on her real last name, Maraj, however when she was a newcomer many interviewers couldn't get over her last name and her explicit lyrics.
However Nicki learned how to twist this hype and uses it on some of her lyrics such as in Kanye West's Monster

Agreement to let water pass between 2 reservoirs
It will mark the first time Lake Hodges is connected to the aqueduct system that supplies 90 percent of the region's water.
Exchanging water between the two water bodies will accomplish two things:
•It will keep Lake Hodges' water level up during the summer, improving its quality and eliminating its seasonal depletion.
•It will give the region a new supply, allowing the authority to transfer water from Lake Hodges when rains fill it up, to the aqueduct via Olivenhain Reservoir.
The tunnel's other purpose is generating 40 megawatts of electricity by pushing water up the tunnel at night when demand is low, then letting it rush down the pipe to spin turbines and add electricity to the grid when demand is high.
Hodges Dam and reservoir are owned by the city of San Diego, which gets none of the water. The Santa Fe Irrigation District in Rancho Santa Fe and San Dieguito Water District in Encinitas draw Hodges water and treat it for their customers.
Their plant employs a variety of extra techniques to clean it before treatment.

Very helpful and efficient. GREAT JOB
Seriously they were amazing...unreal kind and helpful...it made my day..
Didn't get his name but very helpful and friendly
Very good people. Excellent franchise.
Great people, very professional and nice.
We dropped it off with the 24 hour service; however, when the mileage was read, it was inputted incorrectly and I was charged for the extra miles I did not drive (The mileage when we dropped it off was 35471 and the milegage recorded at the location read 35741). I have tried calling multiple times, yet am not able to connect through to the location to get this fixed. I have also reached out to the corporate office and they are having the same issue in getting in contact with this location. No solution has been brought up yet and I am a bit concerned that I am getting overcharged.
the size truck I wanted was not available at the site I wanted to pick it up so I had to go to the Brockport site. a company that wanted to provide above average customer service would have gotten the size truck I wanted to the site I wanted to pick it up.
They were closed so we just dropped the truck and put the keys in the drop box. We never spoke to anyone. I think U Haul could improve on their customer service by requiring that a email showing the keys were received and the rental period was terminated so the customer would know if there was a problem.
They were suppose to be open Saturday 9 am-12pm and they were not open. Just had to drop the trailer off and trust that no body was going to steal it. No very efficient of a place.
There are signs all over the place for a daily rental rate of 19.95 a day and I was charged at a higher rate. also the man that took care of me had a nasty attitude. I put 1 galon of gas in the truck and as I traveled only 6 miles in the truck and he had an issue with that. I will not return to that location.
Thank you!
Work on customer service skills. Waiting for someone to open shop up, for truck, for 30mins. Didn't have truck brushed off or anything. Didn't pull out of the parking lot until 8:55. I had friends and family waiting since 8. Even though the roads were a little slick, it seems that the tires were not in good shape. Slid all over and couldn't even back into my driveway without being pushed. Spoke with field manager and he was not apologetic or caring. What would these people think if they were me, in the situation they put me in?? I believe they would be pretty upset too.

Hours before a seismic payments-default emanating from the United States was about to rock global financial markets, the small coterie of ultra-conservatives in the House of Representatives holding America hostage to debt-ceiling negotiations blinked. The eleventh-hour Republican surrender on Wednesday night may have saved Washington from the ugly economic backlash of national insolvency, but it came too late for nearly 800,000 furloughed workers who forfeited their pay for the previous 16 days of unavoidable federal government shutdown. It was also too late for the limping, post-recession economy, which took a $24 billion-hit and had its annualised GDP trimmed by as much as one percentage point. A fuming President Barack Obama, who refused to reprise his 2011 approach of yielding concessions in exchange for a debt-ceiling hike, described the Republican blockade as "ransom demands" and "extortion." He is right to do so. Underscoring their credentials for reckless adventurism, the anti-Obamacare crusaders in the House failed to win all but a single minor amendment to the game-changing healthcare reform policy of 2010, an anti-fraud measure requiring stricter vetting of income qualifications for those participating in the insurance "exchanges" established under the Affordable Care Act.
However for the people of the United States, there can be only one thing worse than a crisis of this magnitude — a second such crisis four months down the road. There is indeed a serious risk of the same events recurring on January 15, when funding for the government will again dry up, and it could reach its climax by February 7, when the U.S. Treasury's borrowing authority will expire. Facing mid-term elections next November, will the Tea Party and far-right conservatives in the House push this country to the brink again? While the passage of time will make it harder to derail Mr. Obama's consolidation of his second-term legacy, the countervailing force is the philosophical metamorphosis of the Republican Party, a steady drift to the right. Exacerbating this trend is the steady loss of mainstream Republican control over the extremist insurrection within their ranks, a phenomenon plainly demonstrated by their inability to end the shutdown sooner. Although Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell poetically assured his constituents that his party wouldn't go in for an encore performance next year because there is "no education in the second kick of a mule," his words must sound hollow to millions of middle class families in the country who felt the pinch of Washington's paralysis and certainly to an incredulous world audience that was readying itself for another made-in-America economic debacle.

Dungeon Quest

A magical action dungeon crawler
Action RPGs are what we used to call arcade games, and they owe what they are almost entirely from Gauntlet. Nowadays, every single game with an experience system is called a RPG, when it hasn't obviously to be that way. Anyway, Dungeon Quest is a pure dungeon crawler where every stage is a little maze plagued with monsters and treasure awaiting you. Loot all the magic items, break all the barrels (why would people hide stuff in barrels?)
Once we have placed Dungeon Quest where it belongs, we can tell that it's a really good dungeon crawler game, maybe more easy going than other similar games on market focused on exorcize demons, banish undead and tame dragons simply by kicking the crap out of them. Dungeon Quest looks like more harmless because of the cartoon-like graphics and the fun exchange of magical blows between your foes and you. Teleports and skull bombs are a great deal, by the way.
There'a a side part of this game consisting on managing all the magical junk you get in your way, firstly to make room for new and more powerful junk in your inventory and secondly to earn gold coins, necessary to purchase life (red) and mana (blue, wait, has this always been this way? since when?)
Easy to learn yet challenging sometimes, this free Dungeon Quest is an absolutely recommended game unless you were looking for a more "serious" dungeon crawler instead of a self-parody of the genre.

Behind David Knight's 450XC Photo Gallery
Knight is a giant. He really does throw his 450 around like it was a 125.
Behind David Knight's 450XC - Shawn Mundy may have the toughest mechanic's job in motorcycle off-road racing.
When Mundy does his part, Knight usually holds up his end of the deal with results like this.
Most GNCC riders chose a 2-stoke due to fatigue after 3 hours of riding. Knight is fine with a 450.
Mundy was tapped to work with Knight once he made the switch to full-time American racing.
The Twin Air filter pin is safety-wired, and extra foam to keep dust out.
Holes in the engine guard for cooling.
Fluidyne makes thicker radiators to keep things cool.
Safety wire on footpegs.
Mundy and Knight check all the details before a 3-hour race.
Brembo takes care of the braking duties. Not only do they have to be strong, but they can't fade over the grueling race.
The rear master cylinder is one of the tricker works parts. It has tolerances machined so tight that it doesn't require any seals.
That wheel has to be tough enough to take a serious pounding for three hours and not fail. Mundy relies on Talon's carbon fiber hub.
FMF pipes are found on a lot of factory bikes, Knight's included.
David likes a little more bite to his motor than the stock XC provides, but other than a SX-style ignition curve, the 450cc engine is relatively stock.
Larger gas tank by IMS.
KTM racing has a deal with Motorex to keep their engines well lubricated.
Knight uses a massive 52mm WP fork.
Riding under the Factory KTM tent is about as high-status as you'll find in off-road racing.

Carnahan Cracks Chicken Little Case Wide Open
Jefferson City, Missouri - Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan's Commissioner of Securities, Matt Kitzi, issued two enforcement orders late last week against Stephen M. Coleman of St. Louis and his investment adviser firms for fraud and unsuitable recommendations related to a mutual fund and an investment group he controlled.
In the first order, Coleman was ordered to stop the unlawful sale of securities tainted by untrue statements, material omissions and schemes to defraud. It is alleged that Coleman sold investments in one of his companies, Chicken Little Fund Group, to clients of his investment adviser firm, Daedalus Capital, LLC, without disclosing his potential conflicts.
The second order seeks revocation of the investment adviser licenses for Coleman and both companies.
Coleman created the Chicken Little Fund Group for the purpose of forming mutual funds, and the first fund he formed was called the Chicken Little Growth Fund. The cease and desist order states that, as the fund's investment advisers, Coleman and Daedalus Capital were to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees and commissions, but were also required to cover certain fund expenses.
The majority of the money invested in the Chicken Little Fund Group allegedly went to pay for Stephen Coleman's salary, a financial plan for he and his wife and a $100,000 personal tax lien, leaving little money to pay the expenses of the mutual fund. After approximately two years of existence, the fund was shut down when Coleman was unable to pay expenses. The orders assert that Coleman never told his client investors that their funds would be used for his personal purposes and failed to disclose to investors that two prior lawsuits had been filed against him for breach of contract.
"Many investors hear stories about the big money to be made in hedge funds or private equity funds, and they want to be a part of that action," said Carnahan. "But investors must be careful, and should always check out the merits, costs and fees associated with an investment, as well as the background of the people who are offering it."
The Securities Division is seeking almost $200,000 in civil penalties and costs, and the revocation of all three respondents' securities licenses. Coleman and his companies have thirty days to request a hearing on the fraud charges and civil penalties.

01 July 2013 16:38 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US ethylene margins fell by 5.9% week on week for the week ended 28 June, the ICIS margin report showed on Monday.
US ethylene margins for ethane-based spot material fell to 49.08 cents/lb ($1,082/tonne, €833/tonne) compared with 52.13 cents/lb the week prior.
Most of the decline in margin came from weaker spot prices, which shed 2.75-3.00 cents/lb during the week.
The drop in spot material came as several crackers were restarted or began the restart process, lengthening the supply.
The boost in cracker activity also pushed feedstock ethane prices higher, further eroding margins.
US ethane prices increased to 10.63 cents/lb from 10.58 cents/lb, according to the margin report.
Ethane cracker co-product credits also fell during the week to 3.71 cents/lb from 3.83 cents/lb, mostly on softer propylene.
US ethylene for July was heard bid at 54 cents/lb on Monday against fresh offers at 61 cents/lb.
($1 = €0.77)

Father-in-law of Revs goalie in serious condition
His wife Nicole had been running for the New England Patriots charitable foundation. The Patriots and the Revolution both are owned by Robert Kraft.
"A marathon is about enduring," Reis said, "and to see what these people tried to do and how crudely they did it and what they tried to take from us, I guess they didn't realize what that would do to our city and how it created such a love and support around the people that it has affected."
Reis, in his 11th season with the Revolution, has found it tough to focus on soccer. But spending time with teammates has been helpful.
"My focus has really had to be on my family and making sure that we are trying to get through this. And we are getting through this," he said, "but this is my second family here and the guys in the locker room have been supportive.
"Soccer's my next love and I love being here and I love playing and I love practicing and everything that goes along with it, but it has been tough. But I think getting back to soccer has helped. It's helped a lot in getting back into somewhat of a normal routine."

From Jen - Sneak Peek and update on my dadSeptember 20, 2012
I cannot even put into words how blessed I am to have worked with all my clients this summer. You guys truly rock!!!!!! Most of you know my father has been very sick since November of last year and was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My sister and I have moved in with him to care for him which unfortunately meant putting work on the back burner. I am amazed at how caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable all of you have been! I never realized how many lives cancer has touched, almost every family has offered words of encouragement and tons of knowledge because they have lost a loved one to this horrible disease. I know you are super anxious to see your pictures, and I am excited to share. First I want to give you an update on my dad, after a long hospital stay he is now home and we have hospice care coming to the house. As I mentioned above my sister and I have moved in with him a couple towns over so we are getting to spend a lot of time with him, but a lot of time away from our families. Thank goodness for weekends because the kids get to visit PaPa and MOMMY ;-) We are finally working out the kinks in our schedules and getting better at providing total care for him. It's definitely a job but sooooo worth it :) Second I want to give my clients from the last few weeks a sneak peek… You more than deserve it !!!! I hope to have all images edited and in the mail by the end of next week !!!!! YAY !!!!!!! Again, MY CLIENTS ROCK !!!!!!!
Before I get to your pics…. I want to share a couple of my dad ;) This first is of my son Blade with my dad a few months ago…. and the last is of dad last weekend, his FABULOUS neighbors threw him a little karaoke party ;-)

Asian markets boosted by China manufacturing data
popular .
Hong Kong – Asian markets climbed on Monday after data showed Chinese manufacturing activity had picked up pace in November, while increased global confidence provided support for the euro.
Tokyo rose 0.66 percent by the break, Hong Kong was 0.10 percent higher, Sydney added 0.59 percent and Seoul climbed 0.23 percent while Shanghai was flat.
Beijing said Saturday that factory activity grew for the second month in a row in November, the latest figures showing the world's number two economy is emerging from its recent slowdown.
The country's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) reached 50.6, up from 50.2 in October and 49.8 in September and the highest since hitting 53.3 in April. Anything above 50 indicates expansion.
In a separate survey, HSBC said its PMI hit a 13-month high of 50.5 in November from 49.5 in October.
Chinese manufacturing has been hit by weaker demand in Europe and the United States, with economic growth hitting a more than three-year low of 7.4 percent in the July-September quarter.
A more upbeat outlook for China filtered through to currency markets, where the euro continued its recent rise.
The single currency gained to $1.3040 and 107.42 yen in early trade, from $1.2982 and 107.07 yen in New York late Friday.
The dollar eased to 82.37 yen from 82.48 yen in US trade.
The yen has weakened over the past few weeks as investors expect a win in December 16 polls for Shinzo Abe, the opposition leader who has pledged to carry out more aggressive monetary easing measures to kickstart Japan's limp economy.
However, there are worries over the lack of progress US lawmakers are making in agreeing a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts due to come into effect on January 1 and which could tip the economy into recession.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner told the Fox News Sunday TV show that talks were going "nowhere".
He said he was "flabbergasted" when Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, President Barack Obama's pointman for the talks, presented the White House's proposal, which included huge tax increases for the rich.
"I looked (at) him and said, 'You can't be serious,'" Boehner recounted, saying three of the seven weeks available had "been wasted with this nonsense".
"Right now, I would say – we're nowhere, period. We're nowhere" towards reaching a compromise.
On oil markets New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in January, was unchanged at $88.91 a barrel while Brent North Sea crude for January delivery shed nine cents to $111.14.
Gold was at $1,718.90 at 0300 GMT compared with $1,728.37 late Friday.

From Day One, Barack Obama becomes the country's crisis manager—facing the fierce urgency of huge expectations. Problem is, he'll be taking fire from both sides of the partisan divide.
His own Democratic Party, having won the trifecta of House, Senate and Oval Office, will want to pursue a partisan agenda and punish the GOP. Republicans, crabby and gathered in an undisclosed location, will be tempted to spend the next four years gumming up the works. But that's exactly what voters, both Democrats and Republicans, voted against.
Karl Rove has now beaten John McCain twice—once in 2000 in South Carolina and again on Tuesday. Rove made hyper-partisanship the weapon of choice in both elections and governing. He fanned the culture war and played to the base with wedge issues and a swaggering politics aimed at destroying the opposition, not building durable coalitions to get things done. When things started going south for Bush and GOP, he had no friends. Four years ago, Karl was talking about creating a permanent political majority. Looks like voters Tuesday delivered one.
—Wayne Slater, senior political reporter at the Dallas Morning News and author of Bush′s Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential
A moment in history. At a time of tremendous change in the world, we took the biggest change America has ever taken. This is how, to a small degree, many of us Irish Catholics felt in 1960. We will never see ourselves the same, and the world will never look on us in the same way. A beautiful thing. And the lesson Obama taught us by taking a leap and running, even when most told him to wait four or eight years, and even though he probably felt slightly unready. When life′s windows open, we need to be prepared to make that leap of faith. Otherwise, that chance may not come back.
—Matthew Dowd, ABC News analyst and former senior adviser to President George W. Bush
When I graduated from high school in Fort Worth, no black student had ever attended any school that I had attended, yet in less than my lifetime we have come from a society that sanctioned segregation to one in which an African American has been elected to our highest office. That is more than an election—it is a wonderful moment in the history of America and I was thrilled to be there to see it.
—Bob Schieffer, veteran CBS correspondent and Face the Nation moderator
The morning after, it′s easy to just repeat the stream of conventional wisdom that′s available on blogs, Web sites, TV, and radio as I type. That Barack Obama rewrote the national presidential landscape—gosh, he won in Indiana! That he ran a truly incredible campaign that′ll be the new model for grassroots organizing and fundraising. That Democratic gains in Congress were a little less than many expected (newly convicted felon Ted Stevens looks like he′ll be elected in Alaska—what is going on up there?). That Texas continues to move, however slowly, back to something resembling an actual two-party system.
For me, though, watching Obama step onto that Grant Park stage, in front of 125,000 people, brought up memories of filming out in the Mississippi delta in the early 80′s, documenting races for county commissioner where watching blacks even voting, let alone winning local office, was like watching people walk from one century to another. Listening to Obama speak, I kept thinking that this is the guy I′ve been waiting for for President. Who actually means it when he says he′ll govern for everyone. That it′s time to move beyond the dysfunctional government of the last two decades. If he acts as President as he did as a candidate, all this might just come true, even with the mess that the country is in. Inspiration can go a long way when you want to lead. It helped win this election.
A friend of mine in western North Carolina, exhausted after a day of getting out the vote, sent me these lines from a Seamus Heaney poem that do a pretty job of summing up what last night was like.
"…once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
and hope and history rhyme.″
—Paul Stekler, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and director of "Choice 2008"
Well, dear Texans, I guess it can't be true that a really large number of you believed Obama was a Muslim. Thank God for that! My reaction to the election outcome is one of giddy relief. America is ready for change, new ideas, and a new outlook on international life. And we better be ready to work for all that because the new President faces the worst challenges of anyone ever to ascend to the office.
Most likely because the dangers are so immense, we may even be disappointed in government again, but I have my fingers crossed. And I am still with the Churchill quote on democracy. "…the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
It is such a relief to be a Texan and now not have to apologize for the President we sent to the White House.
—Liz Smith, the "Grande Dame of Dish" and celebrated gossip columnist
Maybe, as many have said, it took a confluence of events, a perfect storm, for America to elect a black man president. A shattered economy, a failed Republican presidency, a lingering, unjustified foreign war, and a brilliant, charismatic candidate who ran a superb campaign. Oh, and let's not forget, Sarah Palin and John McCain. Maybe it took all that for this country to overlook race and vote for a candidate with a strange name and exotic background.
I'm not sure it matters that Obama's election required a perfect storm. When you break barriers as immense as this, does it matter how you got there? I think the forward momentum and the surmounting of age-old prejudices are what are important, are what will shape us for years to come and change us forever—and not how we

I guess since we've had the first baby born, it's time to start a thread for births. Hopefully I won't be updating this for a couple months.
Once we start getting lots of babies being born, I'd ask that you please post in the thread so I can update easily. Include any details you'd like, but hopefully you'll include baby's name/sex (if you want include whether you were expecting a boy or girl)/birth date/length & weight/place or type of birth. If you post a birth story & would like me to link to it, please let me know.

Cross-posted in Ladies who took a litltle longer...
Hello all! Our babies were born this morning within a minute of each other starting at 08.40. It couldn't have gone better, and we are so happy! The boys weighed just over 5 lbs, and our little girl came in at almost 6 lbs! The identical boys are 18 inches long, and the girl is 18.5. Their names are Eugene, Forest, and Emmeline. They were whisked away (though in the same room where I could see them and hear their hearty cries) for a couple minutes to be checked out by doctors, and then I got them on my chest and they basically haven't moved since then :). Not a single minute in the NICU and needed nothing but mom and dad's hugs and kisses. They are just beautiful and we couldn't be happier with how the surgery went and how our children were handled afterwards. We are all now cozy in our suite at the hospital, and will probably stay here for a week or two until the breastfeeding/pumping comes along well and the midwives are happy with baby weight gain and routines.
(35) Teacher, mother to DD '08 + triplets (identical boys and a girl) born at 36 weeks gestation in ´11. Passions: gardening, cooking, painting, fishing, wild food gathering, reading, kayaking and more.
Congrats Emaya! Welcome Forest, Emmeline, and Eugene! (All great names!) How awesome and wonderful that they were born so big and healthy! I love that picture of you all together. Way too sweet. Congrats again!
Mother of two great little guys, G (9/28/09) and W (1/20/12)

Florida was supposed to begin the season Friday against Georgetown aboard the USS Bataan, but the game was canceled at halftime because there was moisture on the court. The Gators led Alabama State 47-9 at halftime, the fewest points Florida has allowed in the first half since the implementation of the shot clock. "We definitely wanted to come out with a bang," said Boynton, who played only 22 minutes. "This was a good game to get everyone in and get a feel for the game." Four of Florida's starters scored at least 12 points. Nine players logged at least 18 minutes. As the Gators approached the beginning of the season, coach Billy Donovan was concerned about his team's defense and rebounding during practices and an exhibition game. They allayed some of his...

The Gourds
Stadium Blitzer
THE LAMEST THING about '90s roots rockers isn't their hackneyed portrayal of a vaguely understood and gloomily rendered agrarian past but the success their barnyard bathos has garnered. Thirteen years ago the Long Ryders rode in sporting Stetsons, "Looking for Lewis and Clark," and resuscitating the dead ghost of folk legend Tim Hardin with a rock 'n' roll twice as urgent as anything Jay Farrar ever mumbled over--only to tank like Drano. Today, Whiskeytown slouch onstage dressed like flanneled faux field hands, sing about next to nothing, and wind up with a feature in the new GQ. And then these prairie punks go off and call their scene "No Depression."
Well, hee-haw to y'all. I choose Austin's Gourds, easily the least depressing, and least publicized, roots-rock band out there. And the weirdest. Recording for an obscure Dutch label, the Gourds eschew sorrowful sentimentality to indulge in genre-fucks that have more in common with Cornershop's cross-cultural hip hop than Freakwater's neo-traditionalist country.
The liner notes for their new release, Stadium Blitzer, credit one Gourd player for "various noises" and another for "accidental noises."
Yet the slinky song "LGO" has one of the first identifiably funky bass lines to appear on a '90s country record (with the exception of Shania's Come On Over) and an accordion melody that knows damn well how close it's getting to the surf guitar in the Offspring's "Keep 'Em Separated."
This is daft, jubilant stuff. Blitzer's most telling vocal moment is Claude Bernard's warbling war whoop at the front of "Dyin' Diamond," an ode to joy that has more American gusto in it than a flock of Sun Volts. His lyrics are best when they avoid earnestness altogether. Like their raucous Dallas brethren the Old 97's, the Gourds would be as lyrically literal as Tom T. Hall if they had his poet's chops. "No longer a romantic/I ain't slack-jawed/I am responsible for the stupid things I say," drawls Bernard on one of their new album's driest numbers.
Yet, their songs about drinkin', coalminin', and the pathetic state of their economic affairs aren't nearly as nifty as the one that adds horns to a goofy, polka-like Tex-Mex groove and calls itself "I Ate the Haggis." They know it, too. "All my stories are about the same thing," Bernard admits on the gorgeous lament "Cold Bed." Must be a big thing.
