The Republic of Massachusetts is a nation located on the east coast of the Former United States,consisting of the former Massachusetts counties of Worcester, Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. The Republic's official capital is Boston, however, the government resides in Worcester.
The Republic of Massachusetts was founded in the City of Worcester, and expanded east, eventually taking much of eastern MA. the republic then engaged in a 6 month long conflict called the Bandit war, which liberated Boston from the many bandit groups that had taking residence there.Project Hill City began, which started the rebuilding of the Boston area. More Later
The State military is controlled by the head of defense, however many towns and cities have local militias that serve as police. The State holds the right to recruit militia men into the State military in times of crisis. the State military has no official weapon,with many using old hunting and police weapons and other weapons found while scavenging. The military has about 1000 regulars and 500 irregulars, which could be boosted by about 500 if needed. Every military man is supposed to be given a sword as well as a firearm,though the number of firearms is limited. The air-force and navy are limited, with the navy's only jobs to protect fishermen and collect scraps form the harbor that could be recycled. The air-force is almost non-existent, consisting of about 5 planes and 50 men. The Governor has urged to rebuild the air-force, but the project is considered unnecessary. Government:
The government of Massachusetts is styled similar to the old American government, with 3 branches of government; Executive,Judaical, and Legislative. The Legislative Branch is an unicameral legislature, with each district getting at least 2 representatives and then more based on population. The Governor-President is picked with the popular vote insted of a representative vote like the old US. EconomyThere is no currency, with merchants using a barter system. The government states that US dollars are excepted, but no merchant will take them. The two primary resources are lumber and fish,with steel being harvested form the ruins of many cities and towns. Stone is also prevalent as well within the state.

Liu Wen hopes her success inspires young women
Liu Wen hopes her success will inspire the next generation of Asian women to chase their dreams.
The 28-year-old is the first model of East Asian descent to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion show, and is also widely considered to be China's first bona fide supermodel.
As the international face of Estee Lauder, Liu finds it heartening that women from the East are becoming more prominent players in the fashion world.
"It's through diligence that each of us can represent our culture, our gender – whichever parts of our identity – in the best way," she told The Edit. "I believe in the butterfly effect and I hope my small wings allow fashion to gain some understanding of Eastern tastes."
Growing up in the southern province of Hunan, Liu had little interaction with fashion as a girl. But she's now one of the highest-paid models in the world, alongside Gisele Bundchen, Miranda Kerr and Karlie Kloss, and boasts over 2.1 million fans on Instagram, something which fascinates her.
"(A century ago) the spread of culture and knowledge from one hemisphere to the other would take at least a year," she said. "Nowadays it takes a minute, perhaps even a second, before you are exposed to something on the web or social media that you've never known before. Everyone around the globe is closer to each other, literally and metaphorically."
The 5ft 8in star is now no stranger to the red carpet also, and made appearances at this year's (16) Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival. But while she's up for donning glamorous gown on occasion, she's much more comfortable in more relaxed ensembles, which typically involve sneakers, baseball caps and tomboyish pieces.
"Sometimes (fashion) establishes itself as the rebel, or it can follow tradition quite strictly," she smiled.

Converse shoes are popular with children and make a fashion statement. However, your child may have decorated them with Sharpie markers. There's no reason to fret if you don't approve of your child's design or if your child has a change of heart about the design. Remove permanent marker effectively with common items you probably have at home.
To remove Sharpie from your Converses, you need to be able to use nail polish remover and sand paper.
Things You'll Need
- Nail polish remover
- Paper towels
- Sand paper, fine grit
- Rubber gloves
Put on your rubber gloves. Pour nail polish remover on a paper towel. Gently rub over the marked-up areas. Let the nail polish remover soak in for one to two minutes.
Wipe the marked-up areas with a dry paper towels. If necessary, dab the affected areas again with a paper towel soaked in nail polish remover. Let the sneaker soak for a bit. Wipe it with a dry paper towel. Let the sneakers dry off completely.
Sand off any remaining stains with sandpaper, applying gentle pressure.
Tips & Warnings
- Nail polish remover can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear rubber gloves.
- Always use nail polish remover in a well-ventilated area.

Biotic Factors
Animals Plants
red eyed tree frog orchid
tucan banana plant
jaguar bromeliad

spider monkey brazil nuts
9 banded armadillo anthurium bush
caiman boston fern
three toed sloth boxwood bush
tapir laurel bush
macaw pistia stratiotes
poison dart frog egeria spp.
Abiotic Factors
Carrying Capacity and changes in population
Carrying capacity is the largest # of one species that an enviroment can support. An enviroment has the required resources to support an organism such as: food, water, shelter, and space.
The cheetah population could go up or down depending on the amount of resources or predators. The population could go up if there were a lot resources and less predators but could go down if there was little food and a bunch of predators.
1900- 100,000
1940- 70,000
1980- 24,000
2013- 6,000
Limiting factors- any factor or condition that limits the growth of population in an Eco
Some examples are: food,water,shelter and space
A predator prey relationship is between the leopard and the squirrel. If one of the animals have a shortage in supply (limiting factors) there could be a population decrease or increase depending on which animal needs the shortened supply.
He's hiding from a leopard.
Trophic Levels and Energy Pyramids
Energy Roles: Quantitative measure of production or consumption of energy by an organism. ex. grass, mouse, cat, jaguar
Producers are the most vital part in the food chain, web, or pyramid because they are the only organisms that can turn the suns energy into chemical energy(radiant to chemical).
Food webs are more realistic for an ecosystem because it shows all the possibilities for an organism(s).
If you remove the rainforest plants then over time everything will die off due to the fact that plants(producers) are the only organisms that can convert the suns radiant energy into chemical energy that animals need.
Tertiary consumer Jaguar 1 kcal(s)
Secondary consumer Bird 10 kcals
Primary consumer Grasshoppers 100 kcals
Producer Grass 1000 kcals
There's a reason we use the shape of a pyramid to show energy instead of other shapes like a cube(square), or a sphere(circle). This is because a pyramid can correctly show the energy flow or passage of kcals through organisms.
In an energy pyramid the producers(plants) are at the bottom of the pyramid which is also the largest section. This is because producers(plants) are the only organisms that can take the radiant energy from the sun and convert that into chemical energy that organisms that can't absorb radiant energy can use. And their section is larger because they take in the most kcals(largest quantity).
Water, carbon dioxide, and radiant energy are needed for photosynthesis to occur.Glucose, oxygen, and water are created after photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast(the stuff that turns radiant energy into chemical energy.
Tropisms- a turning or bending movement of an organism toward or away from an external stimulus such as, light ,heat, or gravity. ex. A plant growing toward the sun during the sun and a plant's roots growing towards water underground.
Tropisms can help a plant survive by moving it to a possibly a needed resource such as light or water.
Role of Decomposers
Having decomposers in an ecosystem is very important because if we didn't there wouldn't be anything to decompose the dead organisms and turn them into nutrients for the soil. ex. mushrooms,worms,fungi,bugs or beetles, and some bacteria.
Adaptations are important because they help animals adapt in certain ways that help them survive. ex. lianas are vines that have adapted by having their roots in the ground and grow to reach the canopy to receive sunlight. The Boa Constrictor is able to sneak up on prey using its camouflage.
As you can see, the vines have risen from the ground to reach the canopy.
This chameleon can use camouflage to hide from predators and sneak up on prey.
If an animal from one ecosystem that they have already adapted to was placed in an entirely different one, they would either have a hard time adapting(if they survive) or they would die in an incredibly short amount of time.
Natural Selection
Natural Selection- the process in nature by which, organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive longer than of those who haven't.

If you have a method to determine the expiry from the data stored then it's a fairly simple process to do
You may want to google Queries/Update in Access ( for the version you have ) to get some background

"Rheumatology - caring and thorough"
About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary / Rheumatology Doncaster Royal Infirmary Rheumatology DN2 5LT
Posted by meandmealone (as ),
I was refered to the rheumatologist at DRI. My appointment came through very promptly even with Xmas and New Year holidays. I cannot praise the nurses enough for their kindness and the Drs enough for their thoroughness in seeking a diagnosis for me. I was dreading a diagnosis of lupus but that is what I have; it has been made easier knowing that I am being treated by such caring people.
Response from Helen Limb, Patient and Public Involvement Manager, NHS Rushcliffe Clinical Commissioning Group 7 years ago

I have included the website for Lupus UK, which may be of interest to you, if you already have this - please ignore.www.lupusuk.org.uk Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Pilgrims clinch record deal
Plymouth have finalised the club record signing of Simon Walton from Queens Park Rangers.
Last Updated: 06/08/08 2:40pm
Plymouth Argyle have finalised the club record signing of Simon Walton from Queens Park Rangers.
The midfielder has accepted a four-year contract at Home Park and joins for a fee in excess of the £500,000 that Plymouth paid for Steven McLean in January.
Walton only joined QPR last summer, but was sidelined for several months after suffering a broken leg in pre-season.
He ended the campaign on loan at Hull City and Pilgrims boss Paul Sturrock is confident he has signed a bright prospect in the 20-year-old.
Perfect person
"I am delighted to complete this transfer," Sturrock told the club's official website. "Simon is a player who I have monitored for years and I feel he is the perfect person for us.
"He is 6ft 2in, strong, and athletic, and ideally suited to the sitting midfield role that we have been looking to fill.
"He is both young and experienced, and willing to learn, which is important. We have got a right good player for the future of Plymouth Argyle, a real nugget.
"We are prepared to wait for the right person, which Simon is, and hopefully there will be another two or three of his ilk following soon."

Too-skinny models misrepresent the "real" human form and cause skewered perceptions in young girls. This can lead to anorexia and bulimia, both life-threatening conditions. It's time for fashionistas to hire "real" girls for their shoots instead of twiggy 6-1, 120 pound freaks who starve themselves on one orange per day just to maintain one of the unhealthiest looks in the world. Who wants to look like someone starved for attention? The self esteem of these models has been shot to hell, and it trickles down to real-life women and teenage girls who get skewered perceptions of what "real" beauty is.
This is like saying "are bodybuilders too big?" Now that sounds crazy, doesn't it? Young girls don't need to see models if it "causes" eating disorders, which it doesn't. This is literally the most unintelligent idea ever. People should know better, than to think the 1% of women that 'professionally starve' to stay skinny for modeling is 'true beauty'.
I don't think that models are too skinny. In general models are meant to uphold a physique that is meant to inspire other girls to look good. There is a perception that models are too skinny, but I believe that some have a structure that other people may perceive as skinny.

You should still generate some dumps when its gets slow. In general, reusing queries is perfectly fine, as the queries itself are only a hull for the query parameters and factories for new rewritten queries (if needed) and factories for Weights/Scorers. Of course, you should not reuse rewritten queries, as they largely depend on the underlying index (which changes on each request). > I should note that queries I'm dealing with are ugly and big, using lots of > wildcards, but trailing and prefix ones (and this is Lucene 3.1, so no faster > Wildcard impl). > I should also emphasize that at this point I only *suspect* that maaaybe the > gradual slowdown I'm seeing has something to do with the fact that I'm > reusing Query instances. Did this somehow change with 3.1 or was this the same in 3.0? In fact for each query execution, a BitSet is allocated per segment, but as you use MemoryIndex, the BitSet is one slot *g* (so its not an issue). For memory index, it's more important that the term dictionary / positions is optimized so PhraseQueries and Wildcard queries can quickly execute on the term index. As said before, the queries from query parser are only used to rewrite against, producing index, specific queries. The reuse pattern is ok and wanted. Some other question: Can you temporary replace memoryindex by another simple one-doc impl (RAMDirectory), just to test if it also slows down then? I don't like MemoryIndex at all (I know, it was not the bad guy for your stack overflow).

REPORTING UNDER FIRE features the lives of sixteen female war correspondents and photojournalists who reported on conflicts from the first World War up to present day hot spots around the world. Before each woman's story, there is a brief history of world events for the time period covered, a necessity for young YA readers who are still studying history and help for adult readers who may have forgotten or never learned some of the details of the conflicts. We find out more about these women and what they dealt with in their personal lives and how they balanced that with their work. It was interesting to read about Martha Gellhorn's life as both a reporter and having been married to Ernest Hemingway and how that impacted her life and work.
A great read for anyone who enjoys history, and especially the history of feminism in the United States movement and the clever ways in which they broke into journalism proving a real war correspondent could be either male or female.
I borrowed this book from the Chicago Public Library and decided to review it here.

I am having a strange problem. I have been at my job for about a month. apparently the guy that was in my position previously didn't have an expiration on his password. well he moved to a different department and now he has a new password. this is when the problem started. he no longer has a domain admin account. he is strictly a user. I am getting authentication errors for his account at all times of the day to this one computer. there are no services (to my knowlege) that are running on said pc under his account. the pc in question is running windows 7. shoot me some ideas because I am to the end of my troubleshoot rope.

Scheduled task? May have been set to access a file share with certain credentials. Check GPOs, delete the user account off that box.
Rebuild the win7 box if it's making problems.

ICT Solutions is an IT service provider.
well when you get authentication errors it will usually tell you what is trying to be accessed. You can log at your security logs in the windows 7 event viewer and see what is trying to access using his credentials.
Aug 3, 2011 at 4:02 UTC
Do you see any processes running as this user, under Ctrl-Alt-Del?
Aug 3, 2011 at 4:38 UTC
alredy looked at scheduled tasks, I already took the account off the PC but it is doing something strange it is trying to login under his name using a different domain does that make sense to anyone? maybe a local domain...idk if there is such a thing. It doesn't show his login attempts in the pc event log just the domain control log. I did not notice any processes under his user account
Aug 3, 2011 at 5:55 UTC
It has to be a software program then. Look under program files, try control panel-remove programs, maybe do a registry search for his user name?
Aug 3, 2011 at 5:56 UTC
What is the different domain, btw?
Also, do you have the option of asking the guy?

Is there anything in the security audit log?

Ok sorry this got thrown to the backburner last day or so. I have looked under credential manager. Nothing there. I looked for mapped drives nothing there. I looked at security log there are alot of 6281 errors. I don't know if that is related. from what I have read it doesn't seem to be. Any other ideas you guys have would be great. It seems as if my best bet might be to wipe his computer. I really don't want to do that though nor do I want to do it and the issue not be solved.
Aug 8, 2011 at 7:50 UTC
look under the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
See what the values are at DefaultDomainName, DefaultUserName, CachePrimaryDomain
I'm guessing these will be the old domain and if you set these to the new one and his correct user id will work fine
Aug 8, 2011 at 9:35 UTC
solved. thanks for the help guys
Aug 8, 2011 at 9:45 UTC
What did you end up doing to solve it??
Aug 10, 2011 at 7:28 UTC
What did you end up doing to solve it??
Whilst I like the points, you said there's nothing under cred manager? Why'd I get BA then?
Aug 10, 2011 at 8:32 UTC
it was wishful thinking. he is still getting locked out your BA has been revoked...lol I thought I put what I did sorry guys. I read the security logs but there wasn't anything there. I rebooted and didn't see any logs on the domain control for a day then they are back and he is getting locked again.
Aug 10, 2011 at 8:38 UTC
Haha. No prob. :)
What do the logs say?
Aug 10, 2011 at 9:02 UTC
OK...There HAS to be an app that is running with these creds somewhere...It must be on a different machine...I would start looking at all of the different logs, on all of your servers...
Aug 11, 2011 at 10:23 UTC
I had this same issue before and it was a service in the services.msc that had credentials in it. The service was sql server in my case. The domain controller security logs would show what user/computer it came from and also the reason why it was happening. For such constant attempts that your talking about makes me think it's a service because it will keep retrying that many times. Unless it's an application in the background like google update or something?
Aug 11, 2011 at 12:29 UTC
there isn't anything listed in the security logs on the PC. the Domain controller just says that there is a failed login attempt with his username and the domain being IT-PC instead of our domain. the IT-PC is something I can't find anywhere. I looked in the HKEY like andrew said and the registry is all clear. I went through every service and there is nothing on them that is related to his user account. Cred manager doesn't pull anything up either. I am completely at a loss. He said it happened when he had to change his pw so I know it has something to do with a stored pw but have no clue where it would be if it isn't in services or cred manager...
Aug 11, 2011 at 4:19 UTC
It sounds like something is attempting to log locally onto a machine that is (or possibly was at one time) named IT-PC.
Another possibility might be malware hiding in the background attempting to use his former credentials.
Aug 16, 2011 at 2:06 UTC
It's possible Exchange just isn't set up properly on workstation 2. A bad exchange mailbox shouldn't keep him from logging in, and I think it would affect all workstations if it were.
It sounds like either he's possibly trying to log onto workstation1 as a local user rather than the domain, or else his local profile on the machine is possibly corrupted.
Aug 16, 2011 at 2:09 UTC
I think you may be right. the previous message has been nulled because there are no exchange logs with his username. I think I will check that machine next to see if there are any programs that are running his old user name. thanks for the fast response.

The smoggy stratosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, veils its surface from view, except at narrow wavelengths centered at 0.83, 0.94, 1.07, 1.28, 1.58, 2.0, 2.9, and 5.0 micrometers. We derived a spectrum of Titan's surface within these "windows" and detected features characteristic of water ice. Therefore, despite the hundreds of meters of organic liquids and solids hypothesized to exist on Titan's surface, its icy bedrock lies extensively exposed.

New Radiant Storm King
|1990s 2000s
Although they never received either the commercial or critical acclaim of their fellow Amherst, Massachusetts, USA-based contemporaries Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr, indie rock band New Radiant Storm King maintained a loyal cult following throughout the 90s and survived as a viable recording concern well into the new millennium. Hailing from Amherst, Matt Hunter (guitar/vocals), Elizabeth Sharp (drums/vocals), Peyton Pinkerton (bass/vocals), and Eli Miller (guitar) originally formed the band in 1990. Early releases such as 1992s My Little Bastard Soul and 1993s Rival Time should have benefited through alternative rocks sudden acceptance by the mainstream, but both fell through the cracks. Despite the lack of recognition, New Radiant Storm King continued to persevere, making major fans out of Guided By Voices Robert Pollard and the Silver Jews David Berman, among others. Hunter and Pinkerton remained the two constant members throughout...

German Language and Identity (auf Deutsch)
Language is always a sticking point in the German immigration debate. Many times politicians say immigrants need to learn better German, to fully integrate. But not all foreigners are told this. Entertainers, for example, seem to have a special status in German society, and imperfections are part of the charm. This feature was produced in German for Westdeutscher Rundfunk. Translation provided by Katie Ganzer.

Number of pages: 220
Cover Artist: Jessica Cantor
Book Description:
A rock star. The nanny. A love that could rock their world.
The only thing rock star Marcus Troy loves more than making music is his kids. So finding just the right nanny to take on tour with them is important—as is proving to his ex he deserves joint custody. Falling for his employee wouldn't just be fodder for the paparazzi: it could ruin everything.
Too bad the perfect nanny turns out to be beautiful, vibrant Ryan Evans. Ryan's never left her small Montana town before, so she jumps at the chance to see the country. And as much as accidental fame doesn't gel with shy Ryan, what does is her relationship with her capricious, smoking-hot, shockingly good dad of a boss. Marcus is nothing like what she expected. But when the whole world's watching them, will life in the spotlight be too hot to handle?

2014 Universitas 21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems
• Creating a strong environment for higher education institutions to contribute to economic and cultural development
• Providing a high-quality experience for students
• Helping institutions to compete for overseas applicants
The first Ranking report was published in May 2012, with a second following in May 2013. The results of the third annual Universitas 21 Ranking were announced on 15 May, 2014 at the University of Glasgow, UK.
The 2014 Ranking includes the same 50 countries as in the 2013 report, which have again been ranked separately in four areas (Resources, Environment, Connectivity and Output) and overall. The research authors, based at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, University of Melbourne, looked at 24 measures across these four areas, allowing them to create a very detailed picture of the higher education system in each country. New for 2014, this data has also been compared against the values expected at each country's level of economic development, to create a second and separate set of ranking results. Overall, the top 10 ranked countries in 2014 are:
1 United States of America
2 Sweden
3 Canada
3 Denmark
5 Finland
6 Switzerland
7 Netherlands
8 United Kingdom
9 Australia
10 Singapore
This list contains the same countries as in the 2013 Ranking, but the order has changed a little. The relative nature of the Rankings is exemplified by Switzerland, which has fallen three places even though its score remained constant. The largest changes in rankings since last year are an improvement of eight places by China, a rise of five places for Hungary, and a fall of seven places for Ukraine.
In the new auxiliary ranking, countries are scored on how they perform on each of the 24 measures, relative to countries at similar stages of economic development as measured by GDP per capita (using purchasing power parity exchange rates). This produces marked changes in the original ranking. The top 10 ranked countries when using this approach are:
1 Sweden
2 Finland
3 Denmark
4 Serbia
5 New Zealand
6 United Kingdom
7 Canada
8 Portugal
9 China
10 Netherlands
As expected, the biggest changes occasioned by allowing for income levels occur at both extremes. Serbia, South Africa, India and China all rise by over 25 places in the rankings. Conversely, four high income countries (Singapore, Norway, the United States and Hong Kong SAR) fall markedly in the rankings. A noticeable feature is that several lower income countries show significant improvements in the Connectivity measure ranking, an activity that is likely to be most beneficial to economic growth.
Lead author, Professor Ross Williams at the University of Melbourne, said of the 2014 report:
"The U21 rankings provide a benchmark that a country can use to evaluate the performance of its higher education system against the world's best and against countries at similar levels of economic development. The 2014 rankings emphasise the important role of tertiary institutions in promoting knowledge transfer through connectivity within their own societies and internationally."
Jane Usherwood, Universitas 21 Secretary General, also commented:
"Universitas 21 is delighted to support this important work, looking at systems of higher education, for this third year. There are many ways of looking at the performance of individual universities, and as many critics of the methodologies as those who use them. The U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems is unique in that it looks at the context in which universities operate around the world. The 2014 ranking extends this approach by including measures of economic development, and that has a profound effect on the ranking of the national system by levelling out the playing field for comparison."
The full 2014 Ranking report and all data can be found on the U21 website, along with an interactive map containing a country-specific summary for each of the 50 countries included in the report:

The nonsurgical vasectomy, or no scalpel vasectomy, is often a modern alternate in way on the normal microscopic vasectomy http://www.hixsonurology.com/. Invented by a Chinese surgeon quite a few decades before now, this course of action was launched to American hospitals when during the calendar calendar calendar year 1988 and it's been raising in recognition anytime because of the actual fact. But why can it's so well-known? What is going to help it become various within just the classic process? Why will have to you remedy? These are definitely all problem that will be answered, for those who keep reading!
The popularity from the treatment is in actual fact a prompt conclude result of the reduce with which it truly is executed. In distinction to developing incisions that end finish result in irregular bleeding (irregular as compared on the no scalpel solution), scarring, and stitches, this technique in essence leaves an exceedingly modest pin sized mark (if any). Set up of cutting down a slit, this system just opens a distinct segment, separates the tube, and seals the holes created via the tube. This minimizes the chance of an infection, as there exists definitely significantly a great deal quicker therapeutic and much lessened vulnerability (ensuing from open wounds). Also, it certainly is basically far more easy to reverse this system through a microscopic vasectomy reversal, as there'll be a ton significantly less scar tissue to cut through. Closing while not least, on the other hand vasectomy charges selection according to who your vasectomy medical wellness practitioner is, this technique is commonly more cost effective than regular vasectomies.
Why it Issues
There is undoubtedly a bit vasectomy failure stage, as some do knowledge a vasectomy problem. That is definitely typically ordinarily the result of recanalization (the tubes reconnecting spontaneously). But a different problems that happens is infection (but as talked over, the prospect is basically taken out employing this tactic). Ultimately, there may be really maybe quite possibly the most essential component in getting a vasectomy:
Intercourse can be the eagerness for vasectomies, as nobody would get yourself a one specific need to they failed to want to scale back the possibility of pregnancy. Intercourse suitable soon after vasectomy alternatives is normally in the same way as satisfying as anytime, even so the first couple of periods, gentlemen will knowledge agony. On top of that, vasectomies can't usually be reversed. Alternatively, it really is achievable to individual a remaining anticipating ideal after vasectomy reversal (should really your system could possibly get care within the reversal method). The good thing about the no scalpel method could possibly be the fact it opens the chance for almost any vasectomy reversal inside the long term. It's essentially important you work out which you could purposeful encounter a vasectomy and nevertheless utilize a being pregnant. The basic principle rationalization is usually that really great sperm will nonetheless exist (in lessen amount) adhering towards the strategy. Even though vasectomy functionality is sort of top-quality, there exists even so rather vasectomy failure fee. To scale back this hazard, typically have got a very notice up evaluation.

As the cornerstone of Goodspeed's New Works Program, our Festival of New Musicals gives audiences the chance to see new musicals at the very first stages of their development. The highlight of our 2013 Festival was Come From Away and we're thrilled to let you know that this incredible new musical makes its Broadway debut this February after sold out productions in Washington, D.C. and Toronto.
The weather is wild, but the locals never lack for warmth. And it's here, in Newfoundland, where a remote town became the epicenter of a remarkable true story filled with unusual characters, unexpected camaraderie and uncommon generosity. In a heartbeat, the town's population doubled when 38 flights with 6,579 passengers were grounded on its doorstep. The locals put their lives on hold and opened their homes to a world of strangers. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
The Toronto Star calls it "a big-hearted, thoroughly enjoyable new musical" and The Seattle Times hails it as "rousing and inspiring. An honest depiction of compassion."

Backroom Casting Couch Associate Kevin Kelsch Arrested, Accused of Secretly Recording Sex With Ex-Girlfriend
A little more than a year after one of the recruiters for the Scottsdale-based porn website Backroom Casting Couch was arrested on child-pornography charges, another associate of the website has gotten himself in trouble with law enforcement.
Kevin Kelsch, 30, was arrested in Paradise Valley in late August after his ex-girlfriend told police she discovered that Kelsch had been secretly recording the two of them having sex.

We don't know what exactly Kelsch's role is with Backroom Casting Couch, although he's rumored to be a recruiter. Based on a Paradise Valley police report obtained by New Times, there's a clear connection between Kelsch, the website, and the website's "star," Eric Whittaker.

Kelsch did not deny to New Times that he was a Backroom Casting Couch recruiter, instead giving us Whittaker's personal e-mail address and telling us to direct any questions about the website to him.
Whittaker did not respond to New Times' e-mail.
Also take note of the following "tweet" sent by Kelsch. Using the name of his "modeling" company, Hexed Media, Kelsch directed this since-deleted "tweet" at Whittaker to say "#imakethemagichappen," in regards to landing the latest Backroom Casting Couch model from Arizona State University.
Kelsch was also living with a guy named "Eric," according to the police report, although his last name is redacted in that section. According to the report, either "Eric" or their other roommate eventually kicked Kelsch out of the house before going to drug rehab.
The report states that the alleged victim in this case, a 19-year-old woman, received text messages saying that Kelsch had set up hidden cameras in the house, and had secretly recorded the two of them having sex.
The girl's father told police that Kelsch owns a porn website, but the name of that website is redacted from the report.
The report also states that a detective asked the sergeant investigating the case to search the website for any evidence of this girl being on there.
"I then searched the website [redacted]," the report says. "This website states that they trick women into thinking they are auditioning for jobs in the pornography industry and get them to have sex on camera. This is a paid/subscriber site but offers free sample pictures and short videos."
"It was apparent from the videos that although the women may have been tricked into thinking they were auditioning for a job, they clearly knew they were being recorded as the camera was prominent in the videos," the police report states. "These videos also appear to take place in an office, and not a residence."
The alleged victim in question was not featured on the website, according to the report.
The woman also provided a statement to police, saying that she actually received a still picture from the video of herself, and also received another photo of her friend being recorded by the secret video camera.
She said that it all made sense as to why Kelsch would insist that they had sex in a specific spot in his room, as the spy camera was disguised as some sort of charger that was plugged into the wall.
"Kevin knew that I was completely against pornography & that I did not approve of his job & would never participate in anything like that," she wrote.
After telling Kelsch that she was going to report him for having the secretly recorded videos of her and other girls, Kelsch offered her $10,000, according to her statement. She reiterated that she never consented to doing anything with Kelsch on video.
Court documents filed by police contend that this $10,000 was in exchange for the woman not reporting this to the cops.
A Paradise Valley police spokesman tells New Times that prosecutors sent the case back to police at some point after Kelsch's arrest. That means charges haven't officially been filed against Kelsch, but police say the case will be resubmitted.
Kelsch was booked into jail on a felony charge of unlawful recording after his arrest on August 23.

Manteca senior Abdiel Chaquito was nothing short of impressive during Thursday's Valley Oak League showdown between the Valley Oak League's defending co-champions Sierra at Guss Schmeidt Field.
Bad news first.
Manteca dropped two singles competitions but still overpowered Kimball of Tracy 7-2 during Thursday's Valley Oak League match in Tracy.
Ripon was pushed to its first five-game match of the season Thursday night.
Andrew Manes had himself a game Thursday.
Manteca High's Winter Gym seems to bring out the best in Monica King.
Weston Ranch hosted a five-game loss (25-19, 22-25, 23-25, 25-23, 15-17) against visiting Kimball on Wednesday evening to open Valley Oak League play.
Ripon wanted to prove itself to be a legitimate threat in the Trans-Valley League when it kicked off conference play Wednesday against visiting Escalon.
It appears to be a two-school race for the Valley Oak League's varsity boys and girls titles.
LATHROP - One down, 13 more stressful matches to go.
Manteca High's girls tennis team continued its Valley Oak League title defense with a 9-0 shutout of visiting Lathrop on Tuesday.
The East Union volleyball team has worked up a sweat going into tonight's Valley Oak League opener at Manteca High.
Abdiel Chaquito did all he could to keep the Manteca's unbeaten streak and state ranking intact, turning away shot after shot.
MODESTO – The Sierra boys won the small schools division and the Timberwolves girls took third in Saturday's 10th-Annual Sierra Cross Country Invitational at Legion-Tuolumne Regional Park in Modesto. The Weston Ranch girls placed fourth.

DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODEL = DIFFERENT OUTCOMES: Our business model is the polar opposite of what most Venture Capitalists + large Corporations follow. Their business decisions are made usually by a CEO with minimal "dirt under the fingernails" operational experience making managerial decisions without first soliciting input + opinions from those on the front-line actually carrying out the organization's mission. Ours are made collectively by subject matter experts where consensus is required before decisions are made.
VCs + Corporations run their operations much like General MacArthur ran the Pacific Campaign during WWII. MacArthur had an abundance of resources and >50,000 men, but practiced top-down management and couldn't hold the Philippines. We operate like Claire Chennault. Chennault had a fraction of MacArthur's resources + only 70 men at any given time, but held off the entire Japanese Imperial Air Force by rapidly integrating tactics proven successful on the front line.
When the front line leads, implausibly good things happen.

It was a dark and stormy night. The teapot whistled and a fire was lit. She reached into the top drawer and slipped on the coziest pair among the bunch…
As the seasons change and the nights grow longer we need small comforts to protect us from the evening chill.
This pair starts with the cuff, then stitches are picked up for the foot. You can even knit the foot in a contrasting yarn if you'd like. When completed, real buttons function like a cardigan sweater for added warmth.

Custom Pet portraits and portrait earrings: dogs, cats and birds, Oh My!
A big part of my success with being a working artist is my custom pet portrait work. Not only do I enjoy painting dogs, cats and birds, but while I am working on them I feel an instant bond or connection with the person the pieces are for. To be honest, this is one of the biggest motivators in doing what I do – that human connection. Check out the listing to get your own pet portrait here. They come with 3 size options and are reasonably priced! No pet is denied, I will paint any species, but dogs and cats are the most popular of course.
- I also love to hand-paint dog and cat breeds on tiny charm earrings. I paint the earrings on dense board with a light protective coating and your choice of hardware finishes. (Copper, bronze, surgical steel or gold plated) The earrings retail for $38 and are quite lightweight. Generally the earrings measure 2 inches from top to bottom, but can be made to order and as such, can be larger or smaller. The cat earrings can be found here and the doggies are here.
- Feel free to reach out with any requests or questions!
Inspiration Came after Work this week
Let's start at the end. Pictured above is Ramona Falls. It worked out to be an 8 mile hike today. As you can see, the payoff was worth the work. The view, the woods, and the mist cleared my head after a relatively busy work week.
This glorious beauty above is labradorite. The extra flashy cabochon is set with sterling silver on a shimmering sterling rope chain. Get it Here.
For the first time in my life I am working on things that will pay off 2,3,4,5 months down the line. That said, this week had me busting my butt to make painted pet portraits for the first luxury pet shop to carry my line, FOR PAWS In Portland, Oregon. I also worked on some Star Wars themed pieces that will hang for a May the 4th… event, but you can get first dibs on these two right now!
The Rebel Leia / 8×8″ acrylic on wood, $60
My very favorite Star Wars character, "Ahsoka Tano" acrylic on board, framed / 8×10″ $75
If you don't find yourself in Portland and are unable to snag some of my popular pet earrings at For Paws, never fear! You can commission me to make your very own!
In addition to the Star Wars pieces I also made 3 science fiction themed pieces for another group show including Lovely Faye Valentine above!
All of these creations and more kept me quite busy all week, but don't expect a slow-down. I have 3 more shows in May to prepare for as well as a whole lot of jewelry to create so that my site stays fresh! Stay tuned! And feel free to shout out any and all special requests you might have. I try to accommodate everyone.

Showtime Announces Return Date for 'Shameless' – And It's A Lot Earlier Than We Expected!
Showtime's dramedy series Shameless usually airs during midseason – airing from January to April each year. However, today Showtime released its fall schedule and Shameless is among the returnees.
Starting October 2nd, Shameless will begin airing it's seventh season. This news will come as a surprise for fans of the hit series, which only just finished airing it's sixth season in April. This shocking announcement means that we won't have to wait very long to find out what's next for our favourite dysfunctional family. The sixth season ended with Lip contemplating rehab, Fiona breaking up with fiancé Sean – on her wedding day – and Frank being an ass, as usual. The only person remotely happy was Ian who not only became a firefighter, but he's in a happy relationship with Caleb. Whether or not this happiness will last has yet to be decided.
As we enter the seventh season, we can't help but wonder whats next for the Gallaghers. Now single, Fiona will probably take some time to figure out who she is as a single woman again. Romance has often taken over her life, but now that Sean's no longer in the picture, maybe Fiona can rediscover all that she has to offer the world. Also, now that the kids are growing up, perhaps she'll contemplate what life has to offer her? We'd also love to see Mickey and Mandy return! As for Frank, who knows if he made it out of the ocean at the end of last season?
Shameless shows no signs of slowing down as we head into its seventh season and there are even rumours that producers have discussed plans for an eighth season and beyond. No complaints here – seven years in and Shameless is still one of the greatest shows that TV has to offer!
Shameless begins airing Sundays from October 2nd.

There's some things that really annoyed me in Lost, such as the fact that BiB didn't know what "dead" was, but then later said that the hunters killed a boar. Or the fact that we never found out what the Numbers meant exactly.
But there is one thing that annoys me more than these, and it's how much the characters faces changed, it's unbelievable... Probably the three most drastic changes are probably Claire, Jin and Sun. Let's see:
