Individuals choose to use contraception for many reasons:
●All contraceptives provide control over the timing of pregnancy and avoidance of unintended pregnancy
●Condoms provide protection from sexually transmitted infections
●Hormonal contraceptives provide noncontraceptive health benefits (table 1)
A systematic review estimated contraceptive prevalence among women of reproductive age who were married or in a union was 63 percent worldwide and 77 percent in the United States [1]. Nevertheless, unintended pregnancy is a common problem. In a study from the Guttmacher Institute using data from several sources, 49 percent of the 6.7 million pregnancies in the United States in 2006 were unintended [2]. About 5 percent of women of reproductive age had an unintended pregnancy that year, comprising 3.2 million pregnancies. The demographic characteristics of these women are shown in the table (table 2). Forty-three percent of the unintended pregnancies were terminated. These alarmingly high statistics occurred even though most women reported using some form of contraception [3]. The high rate of unintended pregnancy despite contraception highlights the importance of understanding contraceptive efficacy in terms of typical, rather than perfect, use (see 'Effectiveness' below).

While Roger Federer was in a tight first set battle with Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, his wife, Mirka Federer, was in the player's box rooting on her husband's attempt at an 18th Grand Slam title.
But Mirka isn't just a wife and mom, but a ball girl at times, like this moment during the first set. A ball went into the stands as it occasionally does, and Mirka went for it, snagging it and tossing it back on court.
The box was all smiles at the Mirka throw, but even more so when Roger was able to take that tight opening set 9-7 in a tiebreaker, moving one step closer to that record eighth Wimbledon title.

I was given these as a gift. I loved the little bag they came in it was so cute! But for the price (I looked it up) the face brushes are very coarse and don't blend very well. I do absolutely love the medium sized eyeshadow brush! The hairs are very soft and it applies amazingly! I wish the whole kit was as good as this one brush. I have never bought any VS cosmetics and judging from their brushes I wont be. Hey VS stick to lingeree and Yoga pants!

First of all I want to mention how cute the brush bag is. I got the one in pink with black criss crosses all over them. It came with 5 brushes. The brushes are a really good quality, not the best but a lot better than drugstore brands. I especially like the eye shadow brushes. It also comes with a blush, lipstick, and a push liner brush. I got mine on sale for 29.99 when they are originally 45$ and I am very happy with them.

We administered the smallest dosage to my 9 lb cat. He seemed OK on the 1st day, a little lethargic on the second day. Two seizures on the third day. By the fourth day he could not walk or hold his head up. He is at the Vet for tonight and we do not know if this can be reversed. Our Vet called the company and they were not helpful. I am going to e-mail them.
Pros: none
Cons: my 2 year old cat had seizures 4 days after treatment

Good for worming
posted 7 years ago
This is a good product if you cannot afford the expensive ones at the Vets. It has a good flavor that you can mix into the food. It only removes the roundworms though.
Pros: Not expensive
Cons: only roundworms

Imagine the energy and electric intensity of Dark Side of the Moon era Pink Floyd in an intimate theater or rock club environment. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Pigs on the Wing has been delivering that spellbinding experience to audiences throughout the NW since 2006.
Far from an attempt at Floyd-impersonation, POTW specializes in 70's era Floyd but is unapologetic in the interpretation and improvisation of the music in ways that the band believes any Pink Floyd fan will appreciate. Rather than always obsessing over exact, note for note replication of Floyd albums or any sort of look-alike mimicry of band members, POTW rather seeks to capture the intense atmosphere and rock energy of Pink Floyd in as unpretentious a style as possible. The result is a show which is true to the original and yet also a refreshing take on the music and experience of Pink Floyd.
Pigs on the Wing features a collaborative and occasionally rotating roster composed of members of Portland alt-prog rock act Oxcart, System and Station, and other NW musicians brought together by a common appreciation for Pink Floyd. The current lineup includes: Jason Baker (guitar, vocals); Matt Jones (keys, vocals); Eric Welder (bass); Bryan Fairfield (drums); David Lindenbaum (guitar, vocals); Keeley St. Clair (backing vocals, tambo) and Pete Galluzzo (saxophone)

Love 105, 93X parent files for bankruptcy
For over two decades, there seemed to be no national hardship that Tom Bernard's dick and fart jokes couldn't handle.
But when KQRS, 93X and Love 105's parent company, Citadel Broadcasting, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy over the weekend, even a cleverly triggered "I have to poop" soundbyte was a limp, ineffective blow.
Citadel has it all backwards--they've got a $2.46 billion debt, and $1.4 billion in assets. Usually, good companies have those numbers reversed.
It's not just pretend internet money and the careers of disembodied, corporate owned, shock jock baritones at stake here, however. Citadel, who owns over 220 radio stations nationwide, controls around 18% of the local radio market. That's an enormous piece of the pie.
Citadel spokesmen insist they'll be going about business as usual while the restructuring gets taken care of. Which presumably means there'll be no hiccup in Tommy Bombheart's daily ridiculing of local minority groups.
For us at Gimme Noise, the threat facing Love 105 is the one we fear most keenly. Love 105 was actually a quality station with a deep library, and playlist habits that carefully balanced familiar pleasures with deep cuts.
In fact, we love Love 105 so much that, God help us, we may actually root for Bernard's scatological and quietly racist humor to keep the ship afloat. Hey. Desperate times make strange bedfellows.

Roger T. Pipe (Return to Top)
When it comes to fucking white girls in the ass, no one does it quite like Sean Michaels. OK, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but it sure starts things off well. The Up Your Ass series does give us a whole bunch of (mostly) white chicks taking (mostly) black dicks up their butts. If that combination isn't enough to get your motors started, then the cast for this volume should take care of that. Inari Vachs, Dina Juwel, Tricia Devereaux and Dee are fine quartet of babes to anchor UYA 6. ... Read the Full Review!

Picture: John Cleese AARP The Magazine's Seventh Annual Movies for Grownups Awards at the Hotel Bel-Air - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 04.02.08
Veteran actor John Cleese is relishing being alive - after his chauffeur fell asleep and narrowly avoided a fatal crash "by about a second".
The Monty Python comic, 65, is now enjoying life to the full after he almost died when his sleeping driver almost crashed into another vehicle at high speed.
Cleese says, "I nearly died the other day. I was in a car travelling at 75 or 80 miles per hour and I realised my driver had fallen asleep.
"So I shouted at him and I think we avoided being killed by about a second.
"So it just shows that life's all a little more fragile than you think."23/12/2004 13:51

Installfest Information
One of the things we like to do is help other people use and enjoy Linux. To that end, we sponsor several Installfests each year, where anyone having difficulty installing or configuring Linux (or any Free software, really) can bring their systems and get hands-on help.
Our next Installfest will be held at the AFRL Maker Fest on Saturday, March 14.
Saturday is, of course, Pi Day – that is, 3.14.15. And the Maker Fest is designed to "bring together various maker groups/businesses and encourage a collaborative DIY community in the Dayton area, to encourage exploration and tinkering as a path to innovation, to inspire future generations to become interested in STEM".
There will be demos of 3D printing and CNC machining, a class on how to solder, a lunch truck, and more.
Maker Fest will be held at WBI Tec^Edge Innovation and Collaboration Center, 5000 Springfield St #100, Dayton, OH, starting at 9:26am.
Our Installfest will run from 10am to 3pm, but be sure to arrive at our booth before 2pm if you would like to get help with an installation. Bring your computer and monitor, or your Raspberry Pi and an SD card.
We'll have some of the most common Linux distributions on hand, but be sure to let us know if there is a particular distro you want or if you have unusual hardware of some kind. That way, we can try to be prepared to help you. Bringing the monitor you intend to use with your system is best, just to be sure everything works together.
If you have an operating system and/or data already on your system and want to keep it, please be sure to back it up before coming. It's usually possible to install Linux alongside your current operating system without losing anything, but accidents do happen.
If you have questions beforehand, we encourage you to join our mailing list and ask!
Scheduled Talks:
- Please volunteer!
- We need people to teach on almost any Linux or Open Source topic. Please contact Gary Turner (gt at dma1 dot org).

Do you usually find cool stuff through your files?
Kind of looks like marceline
Wish I had hair like that...It's just pure awesomeness!Cool.
Inspires me to draw my own OC.Thanks 😊
I quite like the shaved heart in her hair.. broken heart. Shading and light is very well done. I quite like the green glass effect here too. Very cool
Powerful! Good job!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great now I want her hair :I

That's really goood and she's pretty
It amazes me when people have such a lack luster response to your art, it really is beautiful. From the shading to the detail in the hair. I almost didn't see the people in the background until I started wring this.
I know I am an ass kiss but I am not saying anything that isn't true.
Keep up the good work.

New information is still coming in on the breaking news that Ruby Rippey-Tourk got an extended paid leave from the city. I just spoke with Sam Singer, a spokesperson for the Tourks, who said that it was Alex Tourk who asked the city about getting paid compensation for his wife while she was in an alcohol and drug rehab center from May through July. At the time, he didn't know that his wife had been having sexual relations with the mayor. Read more »

The Bay Guardian has learned that Ruby Rippey-Tourk, who left her job as Mayor Gavin Newsom's appointments secretary last year after having a secret affair with the mayor, received $21,755 in paid leave last year for 534 hours of work that she didn't do. That amounts to about 13.5 weeks of paid time off, well more than the 10 days vacation time and 13 days of sick leave to which she was entitled. Read more »

"Act of Valor" showcases real Navy SEALs, wives and kids ... and bullets
Producer-directors Mike "Mouse" McCoy and Scott Waugh didn't plan on inventing a new kind of movie, but realized the real thing is better than Hollywood
But doesn't that put the SEALs wives and kids at risk?
"Well," says Waugh, "all we can say is that the way we went about it, none of the SEALs were worried about it. I really can't say anymore."
One criticism of the film is that it shows too much.
No, disagrees McCoy. "The Navy scrubbed the film for 'TTP' — technique, tactic and procedure. They made sure we weren't giving away anything classified. The last thing we wanted to do was to give the playbook to the bad guys."
Does the film offer any misinformation so as to lead America's enemies astray?
There is a pause, then, "No," says Waugh, "No way were we playing any games. We're really just showcasing what the SEALs are all about."

I have never been a MM basher but I hope he laid into these players hard this week. They need to no that they have nothing to smile about until they get their first win.

Reason I agree with Martz. We have hired the best Special Teams out there, we have worked on it the whole offseason and when it comes down to it. HOW HARD IS IT TO TACKLE A GUY ON SPECIAL TEAMS! There is no reason for all those holes for the returner to run through

By Kim Soo-yeon
SEOUL, May 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's central bank froze the key interest rate for the 12th straight month on Friday amid concerns that the deadly sinking of the passenger ferry Sewol is feared to diminish consumer spending.
Bank of Korea (BOK) Gov. Lee Ju-yeol and his five fellow policymakers held the benchmark seven-day repo rate, called the base rate, at 2.5 percent as widely expected.
The BOK said that the Korean economy is expected to maintain its uptrend, but uncertainties related to domestic demand have increased, influenced by the recent ferry accident.
The central bank said that the monetary policy committee will pay close attention to external risk factors such as shifts in major countries' monetary policies and closely monitor the movements in domestic demand following the ferry sinking.
Analysts said that the Korean economy is recovering, but the sinking of the ferry has emerged as a risk factor threatening to crimp domestic demand, making policymakers cautious.
"As there is a growing chance that domestic demand may slow in the second quarter, there might be the need to check the growth path for the third quarter," said Lee Jae-hyoung, an analyst at Tong Yang Securities Co. "Given the Korean currency's strength and low inflation, the BOK is not likely to hike the key rate in a pre-emptive manner."
The decision came amid growing concerns that the deadly sinking of the Sewol is feared to sap consumer spending, which analysts fear could slow economic growth.
The 6,825-ton Sewol sank on April 16, with hundreds of high school students on a field trip aboard. More than 270 people have been confirmed dead, with 34 still missing. A number of industries are seeing slumps as people saddened by the accident are shunning spending.
Earlier in the day, the government said it will spend an additional 7.8 trillion won (US$7.6 billion) in the first half in a bid to support weakening domestic demand in the wake of the ferry sinking.
It said that it will provide low-interest loans to businesses in the tourism, transportation and lodging sectors, which are hard hit due to massive contract cancellations and a sharp drop in demand.
The Korean won's gain to the U.S. dollar could also complicate policymakers' efforts to gauge the timing of a possible rate increase, analysts say. The won's strength makes prices of Korean goods more expensive in overseas markets, compared with their rivals.
The won rose to the highest level in nearly six years against the greenback on Wednesday as the dollar remained weak against major currencies.
The Korean economy is on a moderate recovery path on the back of robust exports and improvement in domestic demand.
The BOK earlier forecast that the Korean economy will grow 4 percent this year following a 3 percent advance last year.
Despite signs of economic recovery, Korea's inflationary pressure still remained tame. The country's consumer prices grew 1.5 percent in April from a year earlier, up from a 1.3 percent on-year gain in March, but they ran below the BOK's 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent inflation target band for the 23rd straight month in April.
Experts said that the BOK is not likely to be in a hurry to raise the policy rate as the recovery pace could be eased due to a possible slowdown in domestic demand.
Eight out of 13 analysts forecast that the BOK may freeze the key rate until the end of this year while four argued for a rate hike this year in a poll surveyed by Yonhap Infomax, the financial news arm of Yonhap News Agency.
