Sounds scary! I just dont think I can handle my mom, and his mom watching me give birth!
Posted 12/15/2012
My mom didn't see a thing. She was really supportive and I just really needed and wanted her there. At that point, I didn't care who saw my hoo ha.

With DS i had my ex,grandma,and mom. DD i had DH and grandma. This time i'm thinking it's just going to be DH.
Posted 12/15/2012
I really want my best friend (She's EVERYTHING to me) My auntie, and my mom. If I can. The hospital is a little testy on people. .-.
But that would be my preferred "power" group.
Posted 12/15/2012
I had my DH my mom and mil. My mil stood off in a corner but still excited :) I only cared when all the family rushed in after the baby was born. I was naked and they basically saw my boobies
Posted 12/15/2012
The same people that were in the room for making the baby...just us lol. I loved having the two of us in there, it was such an amazing experience. And it was the last time it was just the two of us. IMO its weird having tons of ppl in the room.

Coming out of Lurkdom, you DEFINITELY have a say! If you want, the Nurses can kick your parents out. You may be legally a minor, but they don't control your medical decisions. Just like they can't make you have an abortion or make you have a procedure that you don't want. You can medically make any decision, and the hospital has to go by what YOU say. Not mommy and Daddy.

My son's dad & my mom were there holding my legs when I started pushing , after like 30 minutes of pushing I asked my mom to leave cuz I just didn't want her there , I thought it was a moment just to be shared with me & my son's dad . I ended up having a c-section though .
Posted 12/15/2012
My hospital was really strict only two people were allowed so that was my dad and my boyfriend. At first while my dad was on his way from work my step mom stayed in my room with me and my boyfriend. Then when my dad came she went out in the waiting room. My stupid ass of a mother fought with the nurses and got to come in because she was my "mom". She had great timing because she came as soon as they told me I needed a c section and she says OMG oh no when I had a csection I felt them cutting me.... Really?! So I told her to get the fuck out and I told the nurse do not let her back in here after the birth. I had told the first nurse I had to not let her in but she didnt pass the message on . When I had my csection it was just me and My boyfriend of course me and my dad were bummed because I really wanted him to be there for the birth. Hopefully next time.
I'm Ashlyne. I have a 20 month old son named Ricky. I have been with my son's father for 4 years but he hasn't put a ring on it.

Awesome theme with good support and documentation.

Thank you very much!
Thanks for theme, so easy to use, great documentation and full of features. Very happy with it.
I've probably used over a dozen wordpress themes over the past few years and this is one of the best I've ever come across. It's easy to use, there are plenty of color options to match your desired color scheme, and the use of the icons for the services is a brilliant, user-friendly idea. Even if you're not an experienced wordpress user you shouldn't have trouble working with this theme if you follow the instructions provided.
Great theme Aleksandra!!
Very nice theme!
Its my first theme i have tried and so far i have had no issues.
Simply love the theme and ease of using, you rock!!!!

Just wondering if this plugin is spider compatible.
Just wondering if this plugin is spider compatible.
Since it uses the same header and footer as your other pages, it should look the same to search engine spiders.
However, I have not tested it with other plugins that manipulate the header for spiders. In theory, it should work without any changes. If you want to be sure, you can look at the source from your browser.
Is it possible to display a page other than your templates?
You can create your own template.
Hi, I posted a question at http://cochinoman.com/2009/02/16/wordpress-plugin-for-splash-screen/ but I'm not sue if that's maintained. Question is: does this block search engines from indexing a site, i.e. they can't get through the 'Agree' button? Thanks, G.

ANAHEIM – Two men were arrested after a BB gun shooting and a stabbing early Sunday, police said.

MUSCAT, Oman (AP) -- Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer arrived Wednesday in Oman under a $1 million bail deal and were embraced by relatives.
Also on hand was Sarah Shourd, who was freed by Iran last year.
The three were detained in July 2009 along the Iran-Iraq border.
They claim they were only hiking in Iraq's relatively peaceful Kurdish region.
Last month, Fattal and Bauer were sentenced to eight years in prison.
American and Omani officials did not disclose details on Thursday about their plans.
Shourd stayed for days in Oman after her release last year.

Courier should report bus system's true cost
Published: Friday, April 19, 2002 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2002 at 11:00 p.m.
A great story appeared in your April 9 paper, written by Elizabeth Stuart. It described the parishwide bus transportation system run by our government. The story is good, but it would be extremely interesting if the finances of the government system and who is paying now and who will pay in the future were explained to the public.
In a very short period of time the federal subsidies for the almost "riderless" buses will end. I have never seen one of these vehicles with more than five people riding at any one time, and it is extremely rare when a bus has five people on it, including the driver. That means that at peak times we are collecting $4, and we still have to pay a driver and all other expenses for the charity system.
Will we the citizens be asked to pay more taxes so that our parish leaders can buy more votes while pretending to have a vision of the future? Would any Parish Council member or the parish president invest their personal money in the efficiency of the system? Would The Courier investigate and report to the public the complete financial picture of this operation?
I will not hold my breath waiting.

Jennifer Lawrence Tops FHM's 100 Sexiest
Brightening up your dreary Thursday
Empire's sister publication FHM has announced that Jennifer Lawrence is the new queen of its annual Sexiest Women in the World list, proving once and for all that falling over a lot is no barrier to being an object of worship.
Lawrence de-throned last year's winner, Mila Kunis, who dropped to sixth place, having had a slightly less prominent year film-wise – her biggest role of 2013 came courtesy of Oz: The Great And The Powerful, where she was buried under green make-up for much of the film.
Scarlett Johansson also made the top ten, with familiar screen stars Emilia Clarke, Emma Watson and Emma Stone falling just outside. Newcomers to the list include The Wolf Of Wall Street's Margot Robbie and Gal Gadot – soon to don her best leotard to play Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman Vs. Superman.
Head over to FHM for the full rundown.

Since February 2014, Open City Docs School has been running courses covering documentary filmmaking from all angles; from film theory lectures, practical camera training, film editing and workshops with award-winning documentarians.
Below you will find courses that we are currently taking booking for the courses listed below. Previous courses are also listed below and we anticipate that many of these will be running again.
If you would like to register interest or book a place on our current courses please email firstname.lastname@example.com
*Fees are non-refundable but credit can be transferred to another course.
Summer Film School
Monday 4th July - Friday 22nd July (Core Teaching)
Over the course of six weeks each student will aim to complete a short documentary film of 5 to 10 minutes. With the proliferation of cheap broadcast quality cameras, editing software and powerful computers, self-shooting directors are in increasing demand. As a trained self-shooter you are not only able to make your own films, but you are also employable as a freelance filmmaker. The course is suitable for beginners who have had no formal filmmaking training, however it would also be beneficial for those wishing to expand their skills into the self-shooting mode or those who wish to brush up on their filmmaking skills.
In the first three weeks we will focus on building the technical and analytical skills needed to complete a documentary film project. Through a variety of a practical exercises you will learn to produce, direct, shoot and edit. These are the four core skills you need to master to become a successful self-shooting director. In addition we will have an in depth look at the art of filmmaking and you'll have the chance to learn from some of the best in the field through several guest lectures.
After an intensive three weeks course, students will then have three weeks to complete their final project. During this period they will have access to the equipment and edit suites available at Open City Documentary Film School. There will be access to support in the forms on one-on-one tutorial during this period. On the last day there will be a final screening where students can share their work.
Please note that you will be required to bring two external hard-drives with you on the course.
Course costs: £1500
Deposit: £750
Course Tutor: Dieter Deswarte

Sound for Self-Shooters
Course Tutor: Tim Bamber (www.timbamber.com/home)
Course dates: Sat 16th and Sat 23rd July 2016
The course aims to give self-shooting filmmakers the confidence to make quick decisions on location to record decent quality sound, when hiring a sound recordist just doesn't factor into the budget. Topics will include the principles of sound recording; different microphone types and when to use them; and choosing suitable locations. You will learn how to produce and organise a good basic sound mix in post-production, to a standard appropriate for small-scale corporate projects, or prior to sending to a sound designer.
Topics will include: track-laying mono and stereo source files; setting volumes and basic compression; using wildtracks to cover dialogue edits; adding voiceovers and 'ducking' music.
These will be taught using Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition
The course takes place over two consecutive weekends.
Course fees: £225

Practical Documentary Filmmaking
Module ANTHGS20/25
Course dates: Thursday 6th October - Thursday 15th December 2016*
Course Tutor: Sandhya Suri
The course is led by award winning directors Sandhya Suri (I for India) and focuses on self-shooting skills, with a focus on the fundamentals of observational filming. Students will shoot, record sound, edit and direct their own film, learning to respond to an undirected actuality and structure their footage into a compelling film.
You will acquire the technical skills needed to complete a 10 minute video project using the cameras, workstations and facilities in the department's visual laboratory. Students will acquire practical, analytical and intellectual skills in using moving image and sound recording equipment and discover how new technologies create new methodologies. During the course students will examine and deploy a range of the technical, aesthetic, and representational dynamics involved in documentary construction. By doing so, participants will become more informed as well as practically experienced commentators on the 'truths', 'fictions', styles, genres, ethics and modes of filmmaking. You will recognise the potential of film to document research, and have explored issues of representation and audience reception.
Students undertaking the course in either term 1 or term 2, will have full access to the UCL Anthropology Audio Visual Lab with Premiere CC and Adobe Creative Suite enabled machines as well as professional camera kits (shared one between two students) for the duration of the course. Students will have a further five weeks at the end of the course to complete their film project.
You can see examples of films made by previous students at our testimonials page.
A reduced lab fee is required for those taking the course for UCL credit (please contact email@example.com more details). This course is available to external candidates for £1600.
Please note participants are also required to bring two external hard-drives on the course. Cameras are shared with one other person. Students using UCL Anthropology cameras are responsible for any loss, damage or repair costs. Any failure to reimburse the department will result in a debt to UCL.
*There is no formal teaching on Thursday 10th November for reading week. Teaching takes place at the following times: 9am - 11am, 1pm - 4pm. You have access to UCL facilities for a further five weeks after formal teaching on the course in order to complete your film.
This eight week evening course, lead by Anthropologist Barbara Knorpp, provides opportunities to watch classic and experimental ethnographic and documentary films in order to critically engage with the politics of image making.
Starting from silent cinema of Robert Flaherty and use of montage of Russian filmmakers in the 1920s to visual video diaries in New York by Jonas Mekas, French cinéma vérité and indigenous filmmaking in Brazil, the course will give a historic overview on how the genre of ethnographic film has changed from seemingly scientific accounts to staged authenticity, and from experimental modes to collage, made out of found footage.
Below is a week-by-week timetable of the topics that be covered on the course. Full details of the course can be found here
Tuesday 13th January - Silent cinema and early ethnographic film
Tuesday 20th January - Peoples without Land: Pastoral Nomads in East Africa

The course is led by award winning directors Havana Marking (Afghan Star) and Sandhya Suri (I for India).
The course focuses on single-person multi-tasking and observational style of filmmaking in which students shoot, record sound, edit and direct their own film, responding to an undirected actuality and learn how to structure shot footage. Both courses also allow space for students who wish to work towards a more pre-scripted and televisual style of filmmaking.
· This being a practical course, the reading load focuses on technical handouts and equipment manuals. The usual reading requirement is exchanged for the compulsory hours each student spends on practical work and editing their own project, estimated at a minimum 100 hours and a maximum of 150 hours for a 15-minute film.
· The tutor and assistant are available to students outside term-time during the vacation break to assist and comment on the final editing stage of student's video projects.
· The course is assessed 80% on the student's final 15-minute video project, devised, shot and edited during the course, and 20% on a Project Diary.
· Weeks 1-3 of the course focus on hands-on exercises and appraisal sessions aimed at preparing the student in manual control of camera image, synchronous sound and techniques of sequence building and shooting to edit.
· Weeks 4-5 concentrate on synopsis, treatment, location, characterisation, narrative structure, scripting, storyboarding, logistics, legal and ethical responsibilities, narrative structure, aesthetics, character and location research.
· Weeks 6-8 are concerned with developing editing skills using the student's own digitised footage, through assembly, to rough cutting and on to fine cutting and picture lock.
· The final 9th week deals with outputting, DVD authoring and finding an audience.
· During 5 weeks of the subsequent vacation and the last four weeks of post-production training (weeks 6-9) student should be working on the rushes/footage that they have successfully filmed. The possibility also exists for the student to shoot and complete the post-production editing during the Christmas break and the first weeks of the spring term having already gained proficiency to work alone.
You will acquire the technical skills needed to complete a 15-minute video project (or a 5 minute video in the case of the 3 week course) to broadcast standards using the cameras, workstations and facilities in the department's visual laboratory. Students will acquire practical, analytical and intellectual skills in using moving image and sound recording equipment and discover how new technologies create new methodologies. During the course students will examine and deploy a range of the technical, stylistic, aesthetic, and representational dynamics involved in video construction. By doing so, participants will become more informed as well as practically experienced commentators on the 'truths', 'fictions', styles, genres, ethics and modes of filmmaking. You will recognise the potential of film to document research, and have explored issues of representation and audience reception. Structure of the Course: Students undertaking the 10 week film production course in either term 1 or term 2, will have full access to the UCL Anthropology Audio Visual Lab with 15 Adobe Premier Pro enabled edit machines as well as camera kits (shared one between two students) for the duration of the course.
Please note participants are also required to bring two external hard-drives on the course. Cameras are shared with one other person. Participants using their own cameras may be entitled to a discount (for further information please firstname.lastname@example.com). Students using UCL Anthropology cameras are responsible for any loss, damage or repair costs. Any failure to reimburse the department will result in a debt to UCL with the standard consequences.
ANTHGS25 can be taken in term two. A reduced lab fee is required for those taking the course for credit. This course is available to those not taking it as part of a Masters at UCL for £1500.

Great way to enter the 29er world! Lots of fun on this bike, I set it up myself! Can serve as the basis for a build-up as the frame seems to be well built. Not a 1000 dollar bike but what you get is Super! Weak points are the derailleurs and the seat but that is what upgrades are for! Works well as a Single speed too.... ☺
bad bike i did some upgrades check out the pics.im sixone twoeighty lbs and it holds up with no problem,definetly not a trek or giant etc.. but it will keep up and it wont break your wallet
I spent a month researching my purchase. Looked at all Walmart, T*rg*t and eB*y options as well as local high end bike store with Spec*alized and Cann*ndales...had to compromise on shifter system for the dual disc setup. Had to travel across all of Miami to get this particular model. Picked it up and a few hours later took a 2 hour ride from Brickell to South beach and back. I rode down the stairs of the American Airlines Arena and the bike behaviour was wonderful. The shifting is bad and not from lack of adjustment, gripshifters are just bad..but I compromised and plan to upgrade through online vendors later, seeing as that I was on a budget. Impressive bike though, very solid. Brakes works great! I carried the bike with one arm up the stairs of the arena with normal effort... so the weight was suprisingly low; about the same as my buddy's Specializ*d. I think that even with the shifters, I got more than I expected for the money. I give it 4 out of five stars for having to compromise on the shifters, but you'll have to spend a heck of a lot more for anything better...good luck with that.
The Walmart website was also very helpful with finding the models I wanted to see in my city..first time I used the website and certainly not the last..good job Walmart...Better photos of the shift units would have been good, but you are one of the few vendors that list the weight of the bike.
this is the second 29 inch mongoose I bought from walmart, the first was the impasse I use one bike in coastal carlsbad, ca and one in palm springs, ca like the impasse the gears were a little hinky but worked it out, I had a problem with the impasse gears and pacific cycle shipped out all replacement parts at no cost IMM which I was able to re-install myself I switched out the skinny seat, but a month later tried it again and like it the second time, so I wasted $30 on a second seat I am a big guy, 6/3 190, and I think these are exceptional bargains, if I ever get filthy rich maybe I'll buy a $2,000 29 incher, but these are OK bikes for now my wife is also tall and leggy, so she rides them as well and I think I'm going to need to buy another one for her, if they made a lighter bike than 38 pounds that would be good for her, but so far they don't
I purchased this bike a few weeks ago and so far I love it. Iam by no means an experienced mtb rider, but as a novice I have really loved this ride. At first it felt a bit tall, and shorter riders may want to try it first but the rest is all good in my book. Shifting is smooth, braking is firm and responsive, overall feel is solid. I have been using this bike to get to work and recreational events around town quite regularly and it has been great. I even live in a very mountain bike friendly town where you see TREKS, SPECIALIZED, and CANNONDALES everywhere and I have had lots of folks ask where I got mine b/c they want one. Great price point for the quality you receive. I would recommend this bike to friends and family, and a nice 29" addition to those who might not like the height, but if you want a bike that can handle hard trails and deep drops, maybe you should look in the $500 range, but thanks to mongoose there is a bike for the rest of us.
I had the bike tuned at a shop and shifters are acceptable. The disc brakes to not allow enough of an adjustment so they both drag some. I guess the pads will wear down after a while. The front shock is garbage and will need to be replaced. A fixed fork would be an improvement. The front rim had to be trued since it had a woble out of the box. I do city riding and there are many curbs to go over which was the reason for this bike. The appearance is good once the decals, reflectors, kickstand are removed. The fit is perfect for me; 6'01" @ 205 lbs. The price is right and am confident I can get half my money back after a few years of riding. I would not buy another one of these but the price was right and will get my money's worth. Cost with tax and tune up $225.00
bike dummy's no brainer...29 inch tires eat up the trail...even in shape riders have a hard time keeping up...could be lighter but for $200 a steal...300 miles on mine and looking good...this bike changed my life and attitude about riding...have fun with yours
The deception has decent wheel sets and tires Modus and innovas. It comes equipt with a derailer hanger, the bike weighs 33.7 lbs after you remove the kick stand, thats great for a wal-mart bike and being a 29er, The feature I would to pass on to others is it travels down the trail just fine and I dont baby it, I would recomend getting it professionally tuned.The grip shift max's twist shifters work good after they break in , And the Shimano tourney derailers are not bad,The element front forks are stiff which is good you can always up grade in the future.Hats off to wal-mart putting a decent 29er on the rack. Over all great value for the price.
So I had just broken my THIRD wal-mart bike, and returned all three hassle free, when I paid the extra for the deception. obviously it looks mean, but again, cheaply made so. the cool orange on teh rim that says 29er is a sticker that peels itself from the rim imminently. I taco'ed a rim riding in soft dirt calmly, snapped a chain, and had a crank arm come loose (week one, all seperate). they gave me an identical replacement with no hassle, maybe because they love me. anyway the wal-mart staff is great and they have a good warranty.. i would not reccomend this bike without a couple hundred to reinforce some of the hardware if you ride hard, jump, dh, or acceelerate with alot of power.. but i still love the bike and as i progress as a rider im gonna replace parts with better ones. good frame. btw i love the 29's for commuting a mile to school and around campus for fun! and mines green
Lets see, the pros for this bike is the price and the fact it has disc brakes and its a 29er. The con is that its not the lightest and you will def have to have it tune it up at a shop. The ppl at wally world arent the greatest when it comes to putting stuff together. The rear derailur is ok for the time being but the front is a immediat must. Shocks are great for messing around but PLEASE dont take this out camping and think that you can rock out the downhill trail. So in time replace the shock, go to craigslist and you prob can find a decent 29er front shock. Oh and most important, take some goo off and take the tacky looking stickers OFF.
OK - here's the scoop. I'm 56 years old and somewhat out of shape - I am 5' 8" tall and weigh 165. I want to get back to about 153. I was looking for a decent bike to get out of the house and exercise. I bought the Mongoose Deception 29er at Wal-Mart on 1/19/11 for $199.00 plus tax, license, and title. There is one more Mongoose Deception in stock at my Wal-Mart store in Boutte, Louisiana. I put my hand on it this evening. I love this bike. I was not a bike rider before. I live in Southeast Louisiana, so mountains are non-existent. This bike is great. By my estimation, I stole this bike. It has a great aluminum alloy frame - HUGE FRAME - Modus hubs, Cross 29 rims w/36 spokes, and Innova tires. It has Primaxx front and rear disc brakes. It is a 21 speed bike. This bike was made in China - it boasts a Pacific Cycle sticker close to the BB. It is a solid frame of aluminum alloy. It comes with a load of decals that are not very well applied - take a hair dryer and peel them off - then wipe it down with lighter fluid to remove the goo. Mine is matte very dark green - looks great. Front fork is an Element spring-type assembly (can't be adjusted) - not great (from what I read on forums) for real mountain trails - but just fine for street riding around my FLAT neighborhood. All things considered, for what I wanted (and got), this is a nice bike. It rides great around the neighborhood and even on the few off pavement excursions I have taken. I know the MTB purists watch these Wal-Mart reviews, and they might chuckle about this particular review on their forums, but this bike is a great starter bike. It also lends itself well to upgrade, because the frame is solid and light and well constructed. I Goggled a bit about tuning, and I've been able to correct a couple things, but the front wheel needs to be trued, so I might find a local shop to do it. To the MTBR forum gurus - well, it is what it is. I'm not planning on a trail ride any time soon, so my Deception will serve my purposes just fine - ride the streets and woods and get back in shape.
Bought genesis 29er first!total junk.Road a block and literally fell apart.shocks blew out the seal!Took back to walmart and got deception.AWSOME BIKE!I am 6ft2 and 260pnds.Bike handles me well ,shifts great and built way tougher than genesis.Bike has had no problems.Mongoose puts kent to shame!for tall guy perfectly fine!
Visited several LBS and couldn't touch anything close to the features (front and rear disk breaks, 29er in general) you find on this bike for anywhere near this price. I'm new to Mountain Biking and haven't ridden any bike in close to 15 years but I couldn't be happier. Took it off road on 12 miles of light trails today. Performed with flying colors! Highly recommend getting it tuned at your LBS. Being a big guy 5'11" 250lbs this bike was a great find!
Currently going to school in eastern North Dakota. I was hesitant to spend $200 as opposed to a $80-150 bike, but glad I put out the extra cash. The climate has been in single digits and so far (will go into the -30s in a few weeks) nothing has gotten terribly out of alignment or wacky. 29'' wheels cuts through several inches of snow no problem! Only complaint that I have to agree with others are decals are cheap and tacky looking. Both rear and front quick disconnects are great because I have a small car. Not a big deal but doesn't come with water bottle holder, but does have the pre drilled holes and screws. My only concern for this bike is theft!
Okay i will say yes it has some cheap parts on it but out of the box this bike rides smooth. and you have to think it will need to be tuned up alot of bikes at walmart just get put together and made sure they work it might need to be fine tuned but for $199 you cant go bad to enter in the world of 29ers i have had mine for some months now and i ride it hard everyday and it has held up great and this bike is completly upgradable i have done some upgrades on mine and just makes this solid bike ride that much better.. In my opinon you cant go wrong with this just make sure to get it tuned after you buy it...
I have ridden this bike hard off trail.. Once you get everything dialed in it works great.. I have crashed it hard twice with no damage other than to myself.. For $200 It can't be beat!!
Look - I'm a realist - I knew that I wasn't going to get a top of the line bike at WalMart for any price - but this bike is rugged, has disc brakes front and rear, great tires - and the guys at the WalMart bike shop set it up for me. I am a big guy - 295 - 6'2" - so I needed a tough bike. I have had two other WalMart bikes in the past and I wore them out - literally - with close to 5K on each bike. My wife and I do daily rides to stay in shape and on weekends ride the local trails. This bike is rugged, dependable and predictable. As long as you know that this isn't a Trek mountain bike and go in with WalMart expectations then you can't go wrong. This is a great bike for the money. I upgraded the seat to a bigger/wider/softer model and removed the stickers. Fantastic value.
really good quality for the price, this is not a pro, but for someone who will ride with the family on the weekends, is a great choice, if you ar from 5.5" all the way to 6.4" this is the bike, there is not a lot of good bikes out there for $199.00 with a huge frame, all Shimano parts and 29" wheels, mainly for tall people this is the one, I just got one today and a love it, Price/Size/quality = perfect, that is what I need
The bike works great other than the fact that I had to change the front shocks. The 200 dollar price is unmatched and after a month of utterly over using the bike, trail after trail, I have no issues with it so far. 6'2 219pounds Miami, Florida
this bike is a bargain! why? because you get a relatively stiff frame with an approximate stand over height of 30" and a 1 1/8" head tube. the welds are solid. the fork is short travel so when you upgrade (not "if") take it into account. components are "throw away" in my opinion but if $ is a factor or you just want to have fun hot rodding an inexpensive bike, the mongoose deception 29er is a great place to start. and the kickstand is good for roasting marshmallows.

Hi ladies!!!
I just found out that I am having boy #6! I have to admit, I was a little disappointed at first and I hated myself for feeling like that. I have accepted it now and I am looking forward to seeing my little man. We have three bio sons and we are adopting the twin baby boys that we have had since they were 6 weeks old. This will be my 4th c-section. DH and I decided it was our last before we knew the gender. He will be 43 this year and wants to be done with this chapter in our lives. This last baby fits perfectly because we have just enough bedrooms for everyone and an 8 seater SUV that will fit everyone. I am supposed to get my tubes tied after my 4th c-section. I just feel so sad knowing that I will never have a daughter. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should try to convince DH into one more or just let it go. Even if I have another child, there is no guarantee that it will be a girl. I hate myself for thinking all of these things. I love my boys to pieces. Anyone else in a smiliar situation?

HOUSTON (AP) -- Mike Piazza waited until the brink of defeat to
ruin Roger Clemens' afternoon.
Piazza spoiled Clemens' bid for his eighth straight win with a
tying homer in the ninth inning off Octavio Dotel, and the New York
Mets beat the Houston Astros 3-2 Sunday on Jason Phillips'
13th-inning home run.
"We had the right guy up at the right time," Mets manager Art
Howe said. "You've got to give Mike all the credit in the world.
That's big-time. Two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning. We
might have stolen this one."
After Clemens struck out 10 in seven shutout innings, the Mets
rallied in the ninth against Dotel. Eric Valent led off with a
double, and two outs later, Piazza hit a 1-2 pitch over the
right-center fence and into the Astros' bullpen to tie it.
That ended Clemens' chance to become the first pitcher since
Boston's Pedro Martinez in 1997 to win his first eight starts of
the season. Dotel blew his second save in three outings.
The Rocket allowed only two hits and singled with the bases
loaded in the sixth, the fifth RBI of his career. He lowered his
ERA to a major league-leading 1.72.
"There's no doubt he was dominating us," Piazza said.
"Anytime you've got a chance to win the game, it's a good feeling.
Fortunately, I got a pitch to hit and I didn't miss it."
A sellout crowd of 43,247 came out for one of Clemens' most
dominant performances in a remarkable comeback season. In their
head-to-head matchup, Piazza went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and a
walk -- the only one Clemens allowed.
Clemens brought a little heat to their simmering rivalry: he
threw a 92 mph fastball high and inside to Piazza in the second,
forcing the All-Star slugger to take a step back.
Clemens beaned Piazza during the 2000 season, then threw the
barrel of a broken bat near him in the World Series that year.
Playing first base, Piazza tagged Clemens out on a bunt in the
second. After Clemens' single, the two didn't speak during a
pitching change, with Piazza chatting with first-base umpire Mark
Wegner instead.
Clemens didn't have much to say about Piazza afterward.
"I think he's a good hitter. You have to pitch him away,"
Clemens said before bolting quickly out of the clubhouse.
Phillips, who has struggled all season and didn't enter the game
until the 10th, connected against Brandon Backe (1-1) for his first
home run since Aug. 20.
"I wouldn't have even played if (Piazza) hadn't hit his home
run," Phillips said. "I've seen that guy do amazing things time
and time again. We were pinching ourselves on the bench to see if
it really happened."
Dan Wheeler (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.
The 41-year-old Clemens really got rolling in the third inning,
striking out six straight batters. He retired 11 in a row before
Todd Zeile singled in the seventh.
The Rocket has 21 strikeouts in his last two starts.
"I hope you guys are enjoying watching this guy," Houston
manager Jimy Williams said. "He's a special player."
The Astros loaded the bases in the sixth on a single by Brad Ausmus
and a questionable call on a play at second base by umpire
Larry Young.
Replays showed that Mets second baseman Danny Garcia appeared to
tag Morgan Ensberg for the final out of the inning, but Young ruled
Ensberg was safe. The call enraged Howe, who was ejected after
vigorously arguing with the umpires for several minutes.
"In the back of his mind, I think he knew that he missed the
call," Howe said. "That's why he gave me every chance to stay in
the game. There was only one way I was going to leave."
Clemens then singled in Jeff Kent to give the Astros a 2-0 lead.
However, the Astros struggled to capitalize on their scoring
opportunities, totaling 13 hits and leaving a season-high 17 on
"We pretty much outplayed them in every aspect of the game
except the win column," Houston center fielder Craig Biggio said.
"It's very disappointing. We had it and just weren't able to
capitalize when we needed to."
Matt Ginter, called up from Triple-A Norfolk to make his first
major league start, allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3
innings against the NL's top-hitting team. But he was lifted after
Clemens' RBI single.
Notes: Ginter, called up to start in place of ailing Al Leiter,
got the first hit of his major league career against Clemens in the
second inning. The right-hander singled to left for the Mets' first
hit of the game. Leiter has tendinitis in his left shoulder but is
expected to pitch next weekend against Colorado. ... It was
Clemens' 106th career game with at least 10 strikeouts. ... It was
the fifth sellout of the season at Minute Maid Park, four with
Clemens on the mound.

"you will make an excellent Choice with these invitations! The only thing that i didn't like so much was the normal paper but even with that was an wonderful invitation. Then i had to reorder its and i choose the shimmering paper and I have to say that is so beautiful!"
"Our cards turned out beautiful! The shimmer paper is gorgeous and the font is lovely- it was perfect. I also liked that we could add a photo to the back for no additional charge. Thank you Tiny Prints!!!"
"Wish it came in more colors that's why I gave the design 4 stars. Loved everything else about it! And everyone who received it, called me to talk about how beautiful it was. Maybe it was the subject (my daughter!) on the card that made it even more beautiful : )"
"I was very pleased with how these turned out. There were gasps from the family members who I gave to in person. The paper quality was a pleasant surprise. I expected thinner since I didn't opt for the thick paper stock that came with a charge."
"Personalization was not a challenge for this beautiful card. My only reservation was that the scripture that framed the image was very tiny and slightly hard to read. It's a beautiful verse and the entire reason I selected the card - wish it would appear just a tad larger..."

What Bribes At Death?
Sun arises, defaces darkness,
City in lanterns, gives way for the harness.
A morning begins, concludes the night:
But what more hopes, for a man in fright?
Only the active dullness repeats its monotony,
With a clearly visible sky of harmony.
A troop of children walks past my sight:
But what more hopes, for a man in fright?

How can I rename a branch in SVN through all revisions so that it looks like it always had the new name when checking the log?
I understand that there may be no SVN client command for this, but is there anything I could do on the server?
The reason for this is that I'd like to move to git and git-svn clone doesn't like a branch name like "Fix 1, 2 and 3" (I guess because of the comma).

One day, when you're telling your children about Evan Gattis, baseball's folk hero they call El Oso Blanco, you might tell them the story of the day Gattis hit a foul ball and broken his bat on his follow-through. Specifically, how he broke his bat over his own back.
Gattis' strength has never been questioned. He wouldn't be called El Oso Blanco (The White Bear) if he weren't crazy strong. So strong this didn't seem to hurt him, as it might hurt a lesser man.
Later in Monday's game, however, Gattis did hurt himself. He strained an oblique muscle and was placed on the disabled list. Until he returns, let the GIF above be a reminder of Gattis' monster strength.
You can also ponder — in the spirit of Gattis Facts — whether Gattis broke the bat or if the bat broke itself because it was so scared of colliding with Gattis' back.

Spanish side Alcudia rescued a hugely dramatic 1-1 draw in the dying seconds against Mallorca B on Sunday courtesy of an incredible overhead kick by goalkeeper Tolo Barcelo.
It is a stunning goal on any level, but particularly for a goalkeeper. ED is sure that you will agree the celebrations are pretty special too.
Peter Schmeichel, Paul Robinson and Brad Friedel all netted fine goals in Premier League matches of yesteryear, but were they even close to being as good as our unknown friend from Spain?
The defenders and opposing goalkeeper were left staring into space as Barcelo embarked on a routine that suggested he is wasted between the sticks.
Only last week, Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic managed to lift a wind-assisted clearance over his Southampton counterpart Artur Boruc in a 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Boruc himself has been keeping them out this season with some regularity in Southampton's rise to third spot in the Premier League standings, but has shown he can also deliver at the other end.
Check out this little effort from him on the volley during a training session with Poland.
What is your favourite goal scored by a goalkeeper? Was it better than Barcelo's brilliance in the video? Leave your thoughts below...

- Allstar Selections:
Bedrosian never saved a game in his four years in the minors, but became one of the star relievers of the 1980s soon after his arrival in the major leagues. "Bedrock" was groomed as a starter in the Braves organization, but was moved to the bullpen for his first full major-league season in 1982. As understudy to Gene Garber (who inherited the closer's job when Rick Camp moved to the rotation) Bedrosian had an outstanding season, winning 8 games with 11 saves and a 2.42 ERA.
The 6' 3" Bedrosian used his size and strength to overpower hitters. He relied on a 96-mph fastball and a hard slider, which made him especially effective against right-handed batters. Bedrosian's durability was never a concern (he averaged nearly 130 innings in his first two seasons with the Braves) but his lack of a decent change-up kept him in the bullpen. Nevertheless, the Braves were starved for starting pitching and toyed with the idea of moving the tall right-hander to the rotation. Had they been able to sign free-agent Goose Gossage before the 1983 season, Bedrosian would have probably made the switch.
Bedrosian spent most of 1984 in the pen even after owner Ted Turner inked veteran fireman Bruce Sutter to a multi-year contract, but was finally shifted to the rotation in 1985. It was a failed experiment. Bedrosian started 37 games, lost 15, finished none, and after the season was dealt to Philadelphia for catcher Ozzie Virgil. Veteran sportswriter Maury Allen wrote that the Braves were to be commended for giving up "a large, losing pitcher" -- calling the deal "addition by subtraction."
From the Phillies' perspective, they had finally added a closer to replace Al Holland, who had posted two consecutive 20-save seasons for Philadelphia in 1983 and '84 but was shipped to Pittsburgh for Kent Tekulve after reporting to spring training out of shape in 1985. Bedrosian thrived with the Phillies, posting a career-high 29 saves in '86 and a major-league-high 40 in 1987 to edge Rick Sutcliffe for the Cy Young Award. In 1988, he missed the first month of the season with walking pneumonia, but managed to save 28 of the Phillies' paltry 65 victories.
In June 1989, Philadelphia traded Bedrosian to San Francisco for pitchers Terry Mulholland and Dennis Cook and third baseman Charlie Hayes. The veteran closer, who was forced to shave his trademark beard to conform to team policy, played a key part in the Giants' successful pennant run, saving 17 games in 40 appearances down the stretch and another three in the NLCS before the Giants upset the A's in the World Series.
Bedrosian saved another 17 for the Giants in 1990, but his fastball was no longer overpowering and for the first time since 1981 he finished the season with an ERA above 4.00 and more walks than strikeouts. In December he was dealt to Minnesota for two prospects, but saved just six games for the world champion Twins. Suffering from numbness in his fingers (which doctors attributed to circulatory problems caused by chewing tobacco) and concerned about his son, who had been diagnosed with leukemia, Bedrosian decided to retire.
As both hand and son recovered, Bedrosian made a comeback with the Braves in 1993. Working out of the bullpen, he failed to record a save but pitched well in middle relief in the first two seasons of his second stint in Atlanta. But Bedrosian didn't have much success as a long reliever in 1995 and decided to retire for good in mid-August when it became clear the Braves were planning to release him.

Budget Reimbursements:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Reimbursable Work
NSIAD-87-171FS: Published: Jun 17, 1987. Publicly Released: Jun 23, 1987.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) budget reimbursements, focusing on: (1) how reimbursements impact NASA funding requirements; (2) the amount of estimated total reimbursements for fiscal year (FY) 1987; and (3) the amount, type, and source of FY 1985 reimbursements for several NASA appropriations accounts.
GAO found that NASA relies on two categories of reimbursements, including: (1) additive reimbursements, which are separate from direct programs and do not affect NASA funding; and (2) offsetting reimbursements, which are integral to direct program funding. GAO also found that: (1) NASA requested $7.7 billion for its FY 1987 budget and expected to receive about $1.1 billion in additive reimbursements and about $0.7 billion in offsetting reimbursements; (2) it could not readily identify the amount of reimbursements applicable to individual accounts; and (3) FY 1985 reimbursements totalled about 27.2 percent of the NASA space flight appropriation account and about 31.8 percent of the NASA research and development account.

Done. Something strange though:
I downloaded your save, installed it and started it.
I started at the garage in San Fierro with this very muscled guy, which was fun. Anyway, I done the mission for you but there was a bug I think.
five seconds when I was walking you got +stamina, +max health. When I was driving a car you got +driving skill each five seconds! It was like, weird! Your driving skill is like almost full..needs like two more points, same thing about max health. Stamina is doing fine. I have no idea how this happend, never happend before to me. Anyway, in this mission you don't get to see Jizzy. I think you missed the guys that park their car on the right side.
