Couples or individuals can often get tripped up with common mistakes during a divorce. For Texas divorcees, these often result from misunderstandings of family law and financial mismanagement. Whether it's a misunderstanding of separate versus community property or reckless financial behavior following a separation, these common issues can make it extremely difficult to rebuild after a marriage ends.
Local teacher and coach arrested on DUI suspicion
Being accused of a crime can often have personal and professional consequences as well as legal ones. Recently, a teacher and volleyball coach was arrested on DUI charges by a Texas State Trooper. The situation has resulted not only in a police investigation, but also an investigation from her employer, a local school.
Disputing rights to possession of a child can lengthen divorce
Getting a divorce can often take a long time, and many people seek ways to shorten the process. This is sometimes possible with mediation, but other time contentious issues like rights to possession of a child require added attention. While it can be necessary for some Texas divorces to involve a judge or multiple rounds of disputes, it is important to remember that this process can lengthen the divorce process.
Are bartenders responsible in juvenile DUI/DWI cases?
When people drive home after going out and consuming alcohol, there can be serious criminal consequences. Recent DUI/DWI charges against minors in Texas has led to bars and restaurants in the state questioning their ID policies. While it is understood that young drivers could face DUI/DWI charges after driving under the influence, there are lesser known consequences for businesses and bartenders who serve them.
3 reasons to fight for full custody
In an ideal situation, parents divorce on amicable terms and remain committed to parenting their kids collaboratively. This is not always how things go, though, of course—a divorce often involves animosity, and that animosity often bleeds into custody negotiations. If you are unsure that your ex is fit to co-parent your children, you might be considering advocating for full custody rights.
Juvenile defense and corrections system looks to make changes
Juvenile justice systems are often the target of much controversy and criticism. This has particularly been the case in Texas, where turmoil and scandal have plagued the state's juvenile defense and corrections system. Recently, a new set of goals were handed down to the agency in order to support young offenders in rehabilitation, in hopes of refocusing the Texas Juvenile Justice Department as a whole.
My ex isn't paying child support. Can I keep the kids from him?
As a single parent in Texas, few things can be as frustrating as not receiving the support you need to help care for your children. For some parents this means regular child support checks, while others would just like the other parent to spend some time with the children. If your ex's child support payments are sporadic or nonexistent, you may understandably feel angry. Plus, the court system can be slow in enforcing child support orders. What if you were to take matters into your own hands by not allowing your ex to see his children until he fulfills his child support obligations?
Breastfeeding may have impact on parenting plans
The dissolution of a marriage can understandably be complicated, especially for those with children. However, it can be even more difficult for parents in Texas who have a breastfeeding child. In light of this, breastfeeding can certainly have an impact on a child custody case, including on the parenting plans created during a divorce proceeding.

Such trade has been often described by ancient sources as a flourishing and very expensive one. More in detail, the book focuses on the life and the development of the ports on the Red Sea, controlled by Rome. These ports acted for centuries as international hubs, linking points between West and East, and they were the gates though which the eastern merchandise would reach the Roman markets. Keeping these remote settlements alive required a big effort on the part of the imperial administration, and some degree of planning to choose how and when to invest in the area. So, over the centuries, the geography of such ports changed dramatically. Most works published so far have explained such changes in terms of decline and economic shrinking, due to the "late antique phase" of the Roman Empire. This monograph looks for a different explanation and stretches the analysis into the late antique period, showing hot it was not a period of decline and economic recession, but rather of reorganization. The volume aims finally to reach a new and more full level of understanding of the Roman economic policy in the Red Sea between the first century BC and the sixth AD. ER -

There was a large stranding of jellyfish on Oldshoremore Beach this morning.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of small Moon jellyfish washed up on the sand in a long band stretching the length of the beach. Also stranded were smaller numbers of Lion's Mane jellyfish and Mauve Stingers.
Also in the bay was this juvenile Gannet - getting tossed about in the heavy swell.

Which ISA could be best for me?
What is an ISA?
Well, some of you may have heard of an ISA before, and others may not have. In today's society, ISAs are everywhere and have been for some time. Whilst ISAs have maintained somewhat of an omnipresence over the years, a lot of us may not be aware of what they do and the benefits that they could offer savers and investors.
We're going to start with the basics. ISA stands for 'Individual Savings Account'. It allows people to save their cash and earn tax-free* interest. ISAs can be offered by anyone who is a registered ISA manager with HMRC. These can be entities such as banks, building societies.
There are many different types of ISAs which may allow you to pick an ISA that could benefit you the most whether this is to do with your age, saving aspirations or risk preference.
Why do people use ISAs?
ISAs may grant you the flexibility of choice, with each ISA potentially catering to the different needs and requirements of each person. Here is a brief overview of an ISA:
- Allows you to transfer your funds between ISA Managers without losing any value from your existing ISA
- May help you to diversify your portfolio
- Often free of charge to set up
- You can save/earn interest tax-free*
Different types of ISA
With so many ISAs on the market and each potentially offering the saver/investor different benefits, having a solid understanding of each ISA type and what they could bring to the table may help you on your way.
Cash ISAs
A cash ISA is similar to a traditional savings account. The main difference with a cash ISA is that there is a limit to the maximum amount of cash that you can transfer into your Individual Savings Account per year.
As with most things, you may want to consider which Cash ISA is best suited to your needs. The great thing with Cash ISAs is that there's a lot of choice so it may be easy to find one that could potentially suit you.
Help to Buy ISA
A help to buy ISA is a relatively new kid on the block and it is mainly aimed at first time buyers, specifically designed to help them get on the property ladder. With a help to buy ISA, the government boost your savings by 25%. You may save up to £200 a month into your Help to Buy ISA, and the maximum government bonus you can receive in total is £3,000.
Lifetime ISA
A lifetime ISA is the newest type of ISA that is available to those who are under the age of 40. This ISA can be used towards saving for a first house, or to save for later life.
A lifetime ISA gives you the option to leave funds and let it grow until the age of 60, and you can then withdraw the money completely tax-free* with the aim of being just in time for retirement.
Stocks and shares ISA
Similar to the other ISAs that have been mentioned, the stocks and shares ISA allows you to protect your capital gains from tax*. They may offer the possibility of a higher return but with this comes a higher level of risk as you will be investing, rather than the three ISA's above which are savings accounts.
Stocks and shares ISAs allows the investor to invest into a range of different investments, including government bonds, corporate bonds, shares and trusts. One of the main factors to keep in mind with this ISA is that while it could prove to be lucrative, it could also go down in value.
Innovative Finance ISA
So now you have some knowledge about traditional ISAs, lets add some knowledge about Innovative Finance ISAs. If, before reading this blog, you never knew what an ISA was, then you most likely won't know what an Innovative Finance ISA is.
Innovative Finance ISAs are another new kid on the block. In 2016, the IFISA was introduced by the government, giving you the opportunity to invest up to £20,000 tax-free* per year. The underlying investments that IFISA's facilitate will either be Peer to Peer loans or mini-bonds.
Innovative Finance ISAs often offer high-interest rates, but this does come with a much higher level of risk than something like a savings ISA.
Fluid Bond
In 2018, Fluid saw a gap in the current lending arena and believe there is room for a highly professional, quality driven player, therefore introducing the offer of an investment into a bond through an Innovative Finance ISA. With a £20,000 tax-free* investment allowance, you could earn interest on your capital without having to fork out any extra cash to cover tax payments.
We are committed to delivering you an accessible, responsive and dependable service – maintaining strong communication links with all parties to ensure Fluid Bond process applications quickly and effectively.
Want to find out more?
Now may be a good time to be thinking about investing into a bond through an IFISA. An IFSA may be a good way to be able to plan this year's allowances, and more importantly potentially make the most of your money for the 2018/2019 tax year.
Here at Fluid Bond we aim to be here every step of the way, constantly updating blogs regarding the Bond and Innovative Finance ISAs and what we can do to help you. If there is anything you'd be interested in hearing us cover, please don't hesitate to contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com or get in touch via one of our social media channels.
Alternatively, if you're ready to find out how The Fluid Bond could work for you, go and visit our main webpage for more information.

Hillary meets Mamata for nearly an hour
This was the first-ever visit by a US secretary of state to Writers` Buildings to hold a meeting with a chief minister. No official briefing on what transpired during the meeting has been held so far.
Clinton arrived with a large US delegation for the meeting with the chief minister who was waiting in the lounge in front of her office to greet her and after an exchange of pleasantries, shook hands and posed for a photo session.
The chief minister then took Clinton to a large portrait of Rabindranath Tagore, whose 150th birth anniversary falls tomorrow. The meeting between Clinton and Banerjee, both listed among the 100 top influential people in world by Time magazine, took place at the conference room from 11:05 AM to 11:57 AM, 12 minutes more than scheduled time.
Also present were US Ambassador Nancy Powell, US Assistant Secretary Robery Blake and US Consul General Dean Thompson. Chief Secretary Samar Ghosh, Home Secretary Basudev Banerjee, besides Finance Minister Amit Mitra and Secretary to the Chief Minister Gautam Sanyal participated in the meeting.

The conviction this week of Sheldon Silver, the former New York State Assembly speaker, may have caught some people by surprise, given his track record of elusiveness.
But what followed was completely expected: a vow from one of his lawyers, Steven F. Molo, that the defense would file "vigorous post-trial motions" seeking to have the verdict set aside.
Such motions are routinely filed after trials, but rarely granted. They do, however, offer a preview of what a defendant's arguments may be when a conviction is appealed.
Mr. Silver's central argument seems likely to be that the government failed to prove that a quid-pro-quo relationship existed between Mr. Silver and others who prosecutors said benefited from official actions he took on their behalf.
The trial judge, Valerie E. Caproni of Federal District Court in Manhattan, has already denied one defense motion, filed last month, asking her to acquit Mr. Silver even before the jury received the case.
She has not set a sentencing date for Mr. Silver. On Tuesday, she issued an order setting a Jan. 11 deadline for the defense to file a new motion for acquittal. Prosecutors have until Feb. 19 to respond, and Mr. Silver can file a reply no later than March 4.
The schedule suggests that if Mr. Silver loses his motion, he will be sentenced sometime in the spring, after which he can appeal his case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan.
With the conviction, Mr. Silver, 71, a Democrat from the Lower East Side, automatically loses the Assembly seat that he held for nearly 40 years. (A special election to replace Mr. Silver will take place on April 19.)
Mr. Molo, Mr. Silver's lawyer, declined to detail the defense's planned motion. But it seems likely to revisit the arguments made in the earlier motion for acquittal, along with issues that arose afterward, including one involving a juror who complained to the judge that she was being pressured by other jurors.
Highlights From the Trial of Sheldon Silver
Sheldon Silver, an assemblyman who rose from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to become one of New York State's most powerful politicians, was found guilty on Monday in a federal corruption trial.
At trial, prosecutors built a case that Mr. Silver had obtained nearly $4 million in illicit payments through two separate schemes in exchange for official actions. In one scheme, the government alleged Mr. Silver had the state's Health Department issue two grants totaling $500,000 to a Columbia University cancer researcher, Dr. Robert N. Taub, in return for the doctor's sending patients with potentially lucrative lawsuits to Mr. Silver's law firm, Weitz & Luxenberg, which shared its fees with the assemblyman.
In the other scheme, prosecutors claimed, Mr. Silver had two real estate development firms move certain tax business to a law firm, Goldberg & Iryami, which also shared fees with him.
Benjamin Brafman, a prominent defense lawyer who is not involved in Mr. Silver's case, said he anticipated the defense would argue that the evidence at trial "did not support the requirement that the government prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was a specific quid-pro-quo agreement" between Mr. Silver and the parties who were said to have benefited from his actions.
Gerald B. Lefcourt, a lawyer whose clients have included a former Bronx Democratic leader, Stanley M. Friedman, and Mel Miller, another Democrat who was speaker, said that even with a compelling argument, Mr. Silver was "going to have an uphill battle," largely because a jury already "found that there was a quid pro quo and that there was extortion."
The juror who raised concerns in the early hours of deliberation, later identified as Arleen Phillips of Mount Vernon, N.Y., had written to Judge Caproni, asking if she could be excused "because I have a different opinion/view so far in this case and it is making me feel very, very uncomfortable."
"I am so stressed out right now that I can't even write normally," she wrote. Later, she asked the judge for a private meeting.
Judge Caproni did not excuse the juror and rejected the request for a meeting.
Daniel C. Richman, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan who is now a law professor at Columbia University, said, "I suppose the claim would be that by not directly addressing the concerns the juror expressed in the notes, the court left room for her to feel unduly coerced by other jurors."
The juror later told reporters that she had changed her view late on Monday after reviewing some court exhibits.
Occasionally a post-verdict motion succeeds: A trial judge overturned the conviction of Gilberto Valle, a police officer known as the cannibal cop, for kidnapping conspiracy stemming from his alleged online plotting of rape, murder and cannibalism of women. The judge found that his lurid writings had been fantasy role play. "We felt vindicated," said Edward S. Zas, one of the defense lawyers; prosecutors have appealed the ruling.
There can be risk in making a post-verdict motion, Gerald L. Shargel, another veteran defense lawyer, said. If the defense claims a judge erred in admitting certain evidence, rearguing that point in a post-trial motion gives the judge a chance to clarify the earlier ruling, which could make it harder for the defense to win the point on appeal.
"You might well decide not to do it," Mr. Shargel said, "because it gives the judge an opportunity to refine her ruling."

Vatican releases online questionnaire for youth
To involve young people in preparations for the Synod of Bishops on youth in 2018, the Vatican has released an online questionnaire to better understand the lives, attitudes and concerns of 16 to 29-year-olds around the world.
The questionnaire – available in English, Spanish, French and Italian – can be found on the synod's official site: youth.synod2018.va/content/synod2018/it.html and is open to any young person, regardless of faith or religious belief.
The general secretariat of the synod launched the website on 14th June to share information about the October 2018 synod on 'Young people, faith and vocational discernment' and to link to an online, anonymous survey asking young people about their lives and expectations.
The answers to the questionnaire, along with contributions from bishops, bishops' conferences and other Church bodies, 'will provide the basis for the drafting of the instrumentum laboris,' or working document for the assembly, synod officials said in January.

Urban Outfitters' Home Sale Includes 40% Off Furniture & Decorations & You're Going To Want Everything
It's officially spring, which means it's officially spring cleaning time. And I don't know about you, but whenever I spring clean, I inevitably end up wanting to give some new life to the decor I've been trapped inside with all winter. Luckily for me — and for you — Urban Outfitters' home sale currently marks down a seriously awesome selection of furniture and decor by a casual 40 percent. So prepare yourself, because you're going to want everything.
While the decor items I have admittedly gushed about below are good for a home of any size, they're particularly great if you have a living space that's on the smaller side. We may all dream of ultratrendy adorable tiny houses, but the reality of living in a cramped space like a dorm room or even a small house, especially if you've got a few roommates, is that decorating sometimes has to step aside in order for you to fit, well, yourself in your house.
That's why these picks from Urban Outfitters' sale don't just look awesome, they're ideal for maximizing the coolness and sheer breathing room of living spaces of any size. We shouldn't have to sacrifice beauty for functionality — and with these picks, you won't have to.
1. Rohini Daybed Cushion
Rohini Daybed Cushion, $119, Urban Outfitters
No matter how small your living space is, your bed probably isn't the first thing you're going to consider getting rid of — but with a comfy daybed cushion that doubles to a seat like this one, you actually could ditch your full-sized mattress (and box spring and bed frame, if you've got 'em) for a cushion that folds up out of your way when you're not using it.
2. Over-The Door Tiered Storage Rack
Over-The Door Tiered Storage Rack, $59, Urban Outfitters
I was introduced to the beauty of over-the-door storage racks when I moved into my first dorm room, and to be honest, I've never gotten over them. Whether you use the rack for shoes, clothes, beauty products, or more unconventional items like extra gaming console accessories, it's an excellent way to declutter your space.
3. Maryam Macrame Fringe Banner
Maryam Macrame Fringe Banner, $79, Urban Outfitters
When you're in a small space, you're going to end up putting a lot of your decor on the walls, and if you're, say, renting an apartment or one room, you often aren't able to add color to your space by painting those walls. This macrame banner's textured look makes it pop off the wall, giving your space a serious dose of color.
4. 3D Quilted Rug
3D Quilted Rug, $25, Urban Outfitters
This rug is pretty tiny, but like the macrame banner, it pops off the floor with an eye-catching texture that adds depth to your space. And let's be real, if you have a cat, they will thank you (maybe) for their new favorite bed.
5. Leaning Clothing Rack
Leaning Clothing Rack, $49, Urban Outfitters
There's nothing quite like living in a space with no closet — or like living in a space where your closet is, out of necessity, entirely taken up by storage. This rack is a perfect solution to lack of clothing space, and it's got storage underneath for shoes and other essentials.
6. Crescent Moon Neon Sign
Crescent Moon Neon Sign, $59, Urban Outfitters
I'm not gonna lie — this piece is here purely because it's my #aesthetic. But it's also a good solution for lighting problems; I remember un-fondly the days when I couldn't stand to have my burn-your-eyes-out dorm room lights on, but my desk lamp wasn't enough. This bad boy over your bed: Perfect balance.
7. 12-Piece Acrylic Color Pop Flatware Set
12-Piece Acrylic Color Pop Flatware Set, $16, Urban Outfitters
I know, I know, flatware isn't very glamorous compared to other items on this list. But this set is cute, flatware is a household necessity, and no matter how small your space is, you somehow manage to lose a fork or three from every set you buy.
8. Circle Wall Grid
Circle Wall Grid, $30, Urban Outfitters
Finding places to put up personal photos can be tough, especially in a rental. With a wall grid like this, you've got room for photos, notes, keepsakes... and best of all, it'll all be up on the wall, there for you to look at but also out of your way.
9. Adelphi 6" Planter
Adelphi 6" Planter, $12, Urban Outfitters
I am firmly of the belief that all people should have a plant, especially if you're living in a small space. And this tiny six-inch planter gives you the room to put a plant on virtually any surface. Night table, kitchen counter, bathroom — this guy will fit anywhere and give you room for a little green in your life.
10. Yellow Leaf Hammocks Rainbow Hammock Chair
Yellow Leaf Hammocks Rainbow Hammock Chair, $100, Urban Outfitters
This hammock totally isn't plausible for all living spaces (please do not accidentally pull the ceiling of your apartment down), but it is bangin', and if you have a ceiling strong enough to hold you, is an excellent trade-in for a sofa or gaming chair.
11. Crosley UO Exclusive Lavender Ice Cruiser Bluetooth Record Player
Crosley UO Exclusive Lavender Ice Cruiser Bluetooth Record Player, $79, Urban Outfitters
And finally, when you're decorating, remember that not everything has to be super functional. Though, of course, this record player does work, it's not on the same level of practical as some other items on this list — and that's the whole point. If this is up your alley, treat yo'self. Having something you love in your space is worth it, even if it may take up your desktop.
Making the most of small spaces isn't always easy, but this spring, take a chance and look for some functional (and occasionally not so functional) pieces to brighten up your space and give you room to breathe.

The closing procession from Bp. Dolan's anniversary Mass.
The social hall during Bp. Dolan's anniversary reception.
Zelus Domus Tuae. An original work composed for the occasion of Bp. Dolan's anniversary celebration.
✠ The Bishop's Corner ✠
It's Thursday afternoon, and the place is buzzing. Our devoted "party people" are finishing plans for Friday's reception. Sacristans, clerical and lay are laying out vestments and arranging the sanctuary for the Pontifical Mass. Guests, including the reverend and most reverend variety are arriving. I am touched and grateful for the kind efforts of so many for this happy anniversary.
But most of all to God go the thanks, through Our Lady. How mysterious, yet manifold are the ways of His mercy, His providence, these last twenty five years. Thank God we have the Mass, else how would we ever adequately thank Him?
Fr. Bede Nkamuke returns to Nigeria today, loaded down with good wishes, gifts and support for his apostolate. I think Father is well rested and refreshed after his weeks with us. Thank you for your kindness.
The McFathers were here and then gone again, out about the Lord's business. I will have a full report on the Anniversary next week but thought I would say a word about the painting I chose for my holy card.
The Crucifixion of St. Andrew was painted by Caravaggio (no…not the cat) in 1607. This artist was the master of Chiaroscuro style which dramatically contrasted light and dark. He was well chosen to depict the death of the "First Called" Apostle, for St. Andrew was hidden, in a blaze of heavenly light for half an hour before he died. In the painting you see him, tied to the cross at the moment of death. The proconsul ordered St. Andrew to be taken down from the cross (pressure from the crowd, who were being converted, and from his wife who already was baptized), and St. Andrew had just prayed to be allowed to die there as did his Master. The apostle's prayer is heard, the soldier's arms are paralyzed, the pagan proconsul looks on with wonder. "Receive the disciple of Him who hung upon thee, my Master, Christ."
On a rainy First Saturday I conclude this Corner with thanks and more thanks for a picture (and audio, oh, and taste) perfect 25th Anniversary celebration. Thank you to distinguished guests from afar, for a choir so good Bishop Sanborn found it distracting, for all of the sacristy and ceremonial work, for the perfect party set up with lights and decorations and food stations, one more inviting than the next, for the moving of furniture, and even for the so efficient clean up and following day set up for Advent Sunday. St. Gertrude's never rests! I thank Bishop Sanborn for his words, a needed and appreciated telling of our history, and an encouraging look at our present. He also said some nice things about me, and I blushed. Thanks for all of the Masses, prayers, good wishes and gifts. Well, this should be enough to last me for the next 25 years.
With my sincere thanks, I send you all a blessing.
–Bp. Dolan

Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) May 12, 2008
Open source clinical trial software will be the topic of a panel discussion at the upcoming DIA annual meeting on June 24th in Boston. This presentation will evaluate how open, standards-based software can alleviate the challenges of flexibility, interoperability, and cost in regulated clinical research environments. Presenters will discuss the unique advantages and challenges in developing and using open source software for tasks such as electronic data capture, and provide an overview of other open source technologies currently being used in clinical trials.
As clinical research becomes more informatics intensive, organizations are looking towards transparent, standards-based systems to better meet challenges of flexibility, interoperability, compliance, and cost. As part of this, Open Source Software (OSS) is becoming a key IT component in the clinical research enterprise. OSS, defined loosely as software that allows programmers to openly read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software, can exist in several contexts. It can serve as a platform or operating system (Linux), as development tools, (compilers and IDEs such as GCC or Eclipse), as infrastructure applications (Apache web server, caGrid), or as user-facing applications (Firefox, Alfresco, OpenClinica, R). Because it is so diverse, chances are high that OSS is being used somewhere in every sizeable organization. The core objective of enterprise IT is to solve business needs at minimum risk and cost to the organization.
The DIA session will be in a panel format, led by Cal Collins, CEO of Akaza Research, LLC. Other panelists will include Darin Morley, Director of Application Development at PharPoint Research; Mark Paul, CEO of Statworks, Inc., and Brian Shoemaker, Principal Consultant with ShoeBar Associates

I think notifier_chain_cond_register can be changed to return error. It is safe now, all its in-tree callers checks return value and can properly react on such error. On the other hand, in all cases notifier_chain_cond_register are __init functions, they are called once only and double registration seems is impossible here: even if some old notifier was lost and was not properly unregistered, new one will have another address. And even if these addresses was equal -- it is critical error and I prefer to generate warning instead of silent failure of module load. > If the interceptor list ring is added to notifier_chain_register(), notifier_chain_register() > And notifier_chain_cond_register() becomes redundant code, we can delete one of them Yes, I'm agree, at present there are no difference between notifier_chain_cond_register() and notifier_chain_register() Question is -- how to improve it. You propose to remove notifier_chain_cond_register() by some way. Another option is return an error, for some abstract callers who expect possible double registration. Frankly speaking I prefer second one, however because of kernel do not have any such callers right now seems you are right, and we can delete notifier_chain_cond_register(). So let me finally accept your patch-set. Thank you, Vasily Averin

(Newswire.net -- August 28, 2017) Durango, CO -- For the very first time, patients with catheters now have access to a brand new totally free 833-MY-CATH-911 (833-692-2849) hotline so they can get all of their important catheter questions answered for them by a Board Certified physician. This critical service was born out of the desperate need by concerned catheter patients living in acute pain and experiencing severe discomfort and difficulty after having their catheter(s) implanted.
Until this special catheter hotline was put in place, a patient would have to search for their answers online or post their questions in online medical forums and social websites like Facebook. Or they would need to wait for their appointment with their medical doctor in order to get those questions answered accurately, which of course could take days or even weeks.
But now the Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation is offering this completely free hotline in response to this desperate need to get important questions answered. The only requirement needed in order to take advantage of this special hotline and speak with a physician is to sign up to receive text messages from the Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation.
But now the Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation is offering this completely free hotline in response to this desperate need to get important questions answered. This brand new free catheter hotline follows a previous initiative whereby their www.SurgicalDrainageAwareness.org was setup to provide a free toolkit for hospitals, medical organizations, and medical facilities to be able to present free lectures on the topic of Surgical Drainage Awareness since September has been declared as Surgical Drainage Awareness month.
The 833-MY-CATH-911 will be staffed by experienced physicians 7-days a week and will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST). Due to the potentially large volume of expected calls, callers will be limited to about the same amount of time on the phone as a typical doctors office visit.
Dr. Mario Torres-Leon, the founder of the Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation, had this to say about this important new hotline, "This very special hotline signals a huge breakthrough in the critical need for patients to be able to get their questions easily answered. Until now, too many patients have had to suffer for long periods of time, while being in extreme pain due to not being able to get easy access to their physician or surgeon who implanted the catheter into the patient.
After treating catheter patients for decades, I'm very glad that my Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation has been the very first to move forward to empower patients and take the initiative to offer this extremely valuable service."
To get your important catheter questions answered, call 833-MY-CATH-911 (833-692-2849) 7-days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST.
About Surgical Drainage Awareness
SurgicalDrainageAwareness.org is the brainchild of the Surgical Drainage Awareness Foundation. The goal of this SurgicaDrainageAwarness.org website is to help increase and promote public awareness of surgical drainage procedures and the incredible healing benefits they provide. Additionally, we hope to help reduce any stigma associated with surgical drainage by empowering people to get educated on this important medical topic. Minimally invasive drainage procedure's help millions of patient's worldwide each year. As the population increases and since the trend is that patients want increasingly less invasive procedures, surgical drainage procedures will continue to increase in popularity.

The Election Commission has suspended the election in six upazilas
The 4th phase of the 5th Upazila Parishad elections are set to be held in 107 upazilas in 16 districts under five divisions today.
The polling will take place from 8am-4pm without any break, while a general holiday has been announced in the respective upazilas on the day.
A total 1,142 aspirants are contesting the chairman, vice-chairman, and women vice-chairman posts in the fourth phase of polls.
Although the chairman posts will be contested under party banners, the vice-chairman and reserved vice-chairman posts will not.
About 150,000 members of police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), Ansar, and the Armed Police Battalion (APBn) have been deployed to maintain the law and order during the elections, while additional BGB personnel will guard 50 upazilas which are considered as risky.
The fourth phase of the elections was scheduled to be held in 128 Upazila Parishads, including six upazilas where the election was postponed in the three previous phases.
The Election Commission has suspended the elections to Dumuria upazila of Khulna, Chhagalnaiya Feni, Trishal of Mymensingh, Barura of Comilla, Mathbaria of Pirojpur and Kabirhat upazila of Noakhali.
In addition, there will be no voting in 15 upazilas as candidates in all posts were elected unopposed.
The fifth phase of the Upazila Parishad elections will be held in 21 upazilas on June 18 this year.

This is a spectacular book! I didn't want to put it down. I've heard about this series for awhile now, but haven't had a chance to pick up the first book until recently. I'm really happy that I did.
Uglies is a young adult dystopian novel. At one point, the world decided that the best way to end discrimination based on looks/age/race/etc was to make everyone pretty. Biologically pretty, with symmetrical features and cheekbones in the right place and wide eyes and fresh, unblemished skin. They perfected an operation which, when performed at age 16, will make everyone supermodel gorgeous. The Uglies – kids between ages 12 and 16 – long for their operation, after which they'll stop being known by their Ugly nicknames (squint, fatty, zits, pignose…) and move to New Pretty Town, where their only job will be to have a good time.
Tally can't wait to become a Pretty. Tally loves New Pretty Town, and all her friends have already gone on to be Pretty. In her last few months of waiting, though, Tally befriends a girl named Shay. Shay doesn't want to be Pretty, and before her birthday, she runs away to a secret non-Pretty society called the Smoke. Tally promises not to tell, but is then confronted with an ultimatum: help the government find this secret society, or stay an Ugly for the rest of her life.
This book is beautifully written, and I can't wait to read the others to see what happens next. It also is a very thoughtful book, and really ponders the definition of equality, the question of where beauty lies, and what humanity must do to save itself from its own folly. Highly recommended.

Last week The Eagles album, Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) made history by becoming the best selling U.S. album of all time. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) announced that greatest hits collection released in 1976 reached the 38-million mark, displacing Michael Jackson's Thriller, which had held the top spot for 30 years.
Singer/guitarist Jack Tempchin, an Encinitas local since the '70s, has always been humble about his songwriting success. He has songwriting credits on two of that album's ten hits, "Already Gone," and "Peaceful Easy Feeling." It is sometimes true that songwriter royalties are more valuable than royalties given to band members who actually played on the album but who had no songwriting credits.
"It's a miracle, and it's wonderful," says Tempchin about his connection to the historic Eagles compilation. And while he never talks specifics, he remains committed to ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) the performing rights organization that makes sure his intellectual property is duly compensated.
Not everyone likes ASCAP or the other music licensing companies. The owner of the Ramona Mainstage called ASCAP and similar companies "scum suckers." But Tempchin is thankful ASCAP exists.
"Stephen Foster ["Oh! Susanna," "Camptown Races"] was America's first major songwriter," Tempchin explains. "But he was poor. When he died he lived on the street. After that, congress thought it was a good idea to start paying people for their intellectual property… The only reason I could make a living was because of ASCAP."
Tempchin doesn't agree with the Ramona Mainstage owner. "When people open a bar with live music, they don't think they should pay the music makers anything. They think they should get the music for free."
Tempchin was a bar owner himself, operating the much-loved Stingaree music honky tonk in Encinitas from 1976 to 1978 (now the 1st Street Bar). The Stingaree hosted Rosie Flores, Lee Barnes, and himself on stage. "I think [ASCAP fees] are a very fair amount. Music is part of what the bar is offering. It's not like it's incidental."
Besides, Tempchin says royalties are crucial to musicians. "How else are musicians going to make a living? Since digital downloads, there are no record sales any more. New cars don't even have CD players. Records are free now as long as you pay $10 a month to Spotify or Apple. And unless you are one of the biggest [artists] you don't make money on the road. In fact you lose money on the road most of the time."
Tempchin co-wrote ten songs with the late Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey used on Frey's solo projects. He also penned "Slow Dancin'" which was a hit for Johnny Rivers. While he let Pepsi use his "You Belong in the City" for TV commercials, he says he draws the line with "Peaceful Easy Feeling."
"I don't permit the use of that particular song [for TV ads]." Tempchin says he turned down lucrative offers for "Peaceful" including one from a well-known golf company.
Tempchin is now signed with L.A.-based Blue Elan Records, which released his own best-of compilation last year, Peaceful Easy Feeling: The Songs of Jack Tempchin. He embarks on a tour with Celtic Thunder singer/guitarist Keith Harkin later this year.
Past Event
Keith Harkin and Jack Tempchin
- Tuesday, December 11, 2018, 7 p.m.
- La Paloma, 471 South Coast Highway 101, Encinitas
"I have a show at the La Paloma in December," says Tempchin who played that historic Encinitas theater a number of times during its '70s/'80s days as a concert venue. "I played a lot of shows there with [The Band's] Rick Danko and the Mark-Almond Band. It's a fabulous place." Tempchin says that show will be a fundraiser for the La Paloma itself. "It's been here since the '20s. It was the first place that had talkies [movies-with-sound]. Charlie Chaplin and Bing Crosby would come down here for premieres."

Tempchin is absolutely right about ASCAP. Most songwriters (like actors, singers, dancers, etc.) don't make a lot of money at their craft. (I can verify that.] So every dollar counts. ASCAP is a fine organization, and a necessary one.

Let me state from the outset...those who bleat and whinge and crap on about cancer fighters being "too much" in the media - suck shit.
No, I'm not having a go at anyone or any blogger in particular - it's more the ignorant idiots who comment on news/blog articles relating to those who are battling cancer.
Cancer is a mongrel; if all you have to whine about is 'too much media coverage' of people fighting to survive a disease then you're a sad sack of shit that needs to grow the fuck up.
And, yes, I've read your pathetic little blatherings on the net, you scum-sucking toe rags.
As for the misunderstanding of a childcare worker who was or was not permitted by her workplace to shave her head to raise funds/awareness of leukaemia - give me a freakin' break.
This is 2011 peoples.
It.Is.A.Given that those who CAN will sacrifice for Those.Who.CAN'T.
Not to raise awareness or funds but to make her feel a little better cos her thick, wavy hair was coming out by the handful on her 3rd (and final) bout of radiation and chemo treatment.
It hadn't dropped out on her first two lots of treatment but the last tango with the bastard mongrel saw her defences down and her self-esteem took a battering at the hair loss.
I accompanied her to good old Peter Mac Hospital (those nurses frigging rock) on several ocassions and was moved to tears by cancer patients offering me seats, thinking my thin frame (yes, I was once) and my uber-short hair was due to the bastard mongrel cancer.
I was also moved to tears to hear a screwed up, uptight, middle aged WASP arsehole behind me in line in a local Oakleigh shop one day complaining LOUDLY to his wife about "that bloody dyke in front".
To give her her due, his wife did suggest "She might have cancer...".
To which the piece of self-important shit claimed,
"I don't care, those people with cancer don't flaunt themselves like that bitch" !!!
I took great pleasure in taking my time at the counter, getting served by shop assistants who have become old family friends who asked how my mother's cancer treatment was going and if she'd bucked up after I'd shaved my head while the male ego squirmed beside me.
And, yeah, she got a damn good giggle at my shaved head.
Which was worth far more than any farked up idiot's idea of 'acceptable' hair fashion.
If a child or an adult has battled the bastard mongrel cancer - in whatever form - and you find the need to whine your sad, saggy little arse off about the attention or care or media coverage or funding that person/family might gain .....
...think of the stress, the gallons of tears shed, the grey hairs earned at the bedside, the lost playtimes in the schoolyard, the coffee mornings with girlfriends missed, the beer o'clocks missed with mates the thousands of kilometres travelled between hospital and home to visit/have treatment/meetings/conferences by the whole family, the missed moments with loved ones, the ulcerated guts from the treatment, the vomiting from the food, the headaches, the aching bones, the screaming joints, the incontinence, the coughing fits, the vision loss, the hearing loss,...........
the weight loss, the food supplements costing the earth, the extra treats to tempt the appetite, trying to explain to the healthy children WHY you can't afford the extras you pay for the sick child to eat, explaining that the sick child ISN'T the favourite, the extra bed linen, the extra creams, the extra bed you sleep on in the hospital overnight, the extra...everything....
Can you make the decision which of your children gets the extras you can not afford....
put yourself in the suffering child's place....
And then try to tell us there's too much media coverage of cancer battlers.....

REVIEW: Michael Lister's 'The Body and the Blood'
Jordan is an ex-cop and a recovering alcoholic who is working to reconcile with his estranged wife. He's flawed, but trying to fix his problems. He's a man of faith who struggles to reconcile grace and justice while working with the worst offenders the state can gather into one place — fictional Pottersville Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison situated in the piney woods of rural Northwest Florida.
Lister lives in Wewahitchka, where many residents work at nearby Gulf Correctional Institution, a model for PCI and its environs. In the early 1990s, Lister was the youngest chaplain within the state Department of Corrections, and for almost a decade, he served as a contract, staff or senior chaplain at three prison facilities in the Panhandle.
This unique combination of spiritual calling and life experiences led to Lister's first novel, "Power in the Blood" (1997), which introduced Jordan, his sealed-off world and sense of personal isolation. Jordan seeks to save the lives, if not necessarily the souls, of some of the state's hardest hearts. And Lister realistically takes us with Jordan through the gates and looping razor wire into the claustrophobic and dangerous depths of a massive prison.
As the new story unfolds, inmate Justin Menge is found dead; he was a key witness against an accused rapist. The suspect list fills fast, but the mystery is great: The dead man's cell was locked, and the body is found across the room from the pool of blood, lying on unstained sheets.
It's a compelling locked-room whodunit, with personal issues connecting Jordan emotionally to the crime. There also is an exploration of identity that takes many forms as the various characters move through the storyline, not the least of which is Jordan's own struggle with who he is and who he wants to be.
Jordan is tough but not mean; he has a strong moral compass, but often fails to live up to his own standards. He knows the dangers of his chosen path, but braves them for the sake of the humanity he wants to believe is still inside even those who have fallen the farthest — because, if they can be saved, then maybe he can too.
This review appeared in today's Entertainer insert in The News Herald and online here.
Full disclosure: Michael is a friend of mine, and his imprint published my novel, 'Welcome to the Dawning of a New Century.' He has been an inspiration to me and many, many writers in this region. You may want to take that into account when digesting this review, or you could take my word for it: If you enjoy mysteries and crime novels, and you appreciate tales of believers struggling in a harsh world, you'll like this book.

Talking about sex isn't easy for most people, even with a partner you love. You probably feel uncomfortable openly discussing problems in the bedroom, which is why Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist, is here to help.
Image adapted from LuckyImages (Shutterstock)
Vanessa is a licensed psychotherapist based in San Francisco, specialising in all things sex. Her aim is to take the intimidation out of sex therapy and help both individuals and couples talk openly about their issues and lead more fulfilling sex lives. Here, she covers a selection of questions from Lifehacker readers.
The most difficult part for my fiancee and I is scheduling. I work M-F, 7-3:30; she's a ICU nurse working nights. That leaves under two hours overlap on days she works, and evenings/nights when she's off. It's so difficult to get in that perfect timeslot — what is a better way to initiate without feeling like you're trying to fill a quota?
Man, that's a rough schedule to have to work with! Initiation is a very personal thing. Have the two of you had a discussion about initiation? Try asking her "in what ways do you like me to initiate sex?" And answer that question yourself too. I know it might sound a little funny to think about in that way, but it's always an interesting conversation to have.
Also, there are going to be times when it is going to fill like quota-filling sex, and that's OK too. If you acknowledge it up front, I think it can make it feel a lot better. Say something like: "It's hard to have just these two hours to ourselves, but I don't want to stop feeling connected to you."
So many couples struggle with insane schedules, but I think the most important thing to remember is that you're on each other's team. You're both battling the bad scheduling together, and trying to work together to create room for a sex life that feels satisfying for you both. The more you can approach your issues from that perspective, the better it will feel to work towards a solution.
Any tips for communicating effectively about a lack of desire to have sex? My partner's interest in sex has dropped off drastically over the past several years, leaving me feeling frustrated and unwanted. We communicate relatively openly about it, and she tells me she doesn't know why, she doesn't find me unattractive, she just isn't interested in sex very often. When we talk about it, I think she feels like I want her to 'do more sex' when what I really want is her to 'feel differently about sex,' and to be open to exploring and finding the things that *do* work for her again.
I think the most important thing you want to convey is that you miss that sense of connection with her. It's easy for the lower desire partner to feel like all the higher desire partner wants is more sex, but sex is about so much more than just having an orgasm. Talk to her about the emotional connection that you feel with her when the two of you are being intimate, and what it's like to not feel that connection.
I would also ask her to be open to more physical connection — holding each other, laying in bed naked, kissing, giving each other massages. These things are all good reminders of the importance of touch, and of the fact that sex doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.
Sex drives are incredibly complex, but a drastic drop-off should be investigated. Has she started taking any new medication? Did she have an injury or illness? Any sort of major stress or big life event?
Why does my boyfriend ejaculate less than half the time we have sex? He is 28. Is this psychological or physiological? I can't help but take it personally. Also, why does he masturbate instead of having sex with me and then get mad that I masturbate? He told me last week he was "sort of asexual". I don't understand why my boyfriend never has sex with me, but pleasures himself and then tells me he is asexual, only to be emasculated upon seeing my need to engage in the very activity he says he has no interest in. Also this makes no sense, as were used to have very good sex every week.
The distinction between orgasm and ejaculation is an important one. There are lots of men who don't orgasm every single time during sex. Or it may be that he's not ejaculating very much because he has recently masturbated. Have you ever asked him about this question?
It sounds like the two of you are in need of a tough conversation about where your relationship is headed. It's perfectly normal to masturbate when you're in a relationship, and he shouldn't feel emasculated by you pleasuring yourself. If he's telling you he's asexual, and isn't interested in having sex with you, these may be signs that he's thinking the relationship is over.
My wife has a condition where often times she experiences random pain "downstairs". The randomness of this condition means that the "window of opportunity" to do anything sexual together is always changing. In the past, I used to try to initiate whenever I was in the mood. After talking with her about it, my advances unintentionally put pressure on her to perform even if she was in pain because she did not want to make me feel rejected. I have explained to her that I understood and would not feel rejected if she turned me down but she can't help feeling bad for "rejecting me" and we have come to the conclusion that it's probably better if she initiated when she felt healthy. The problem is that through the entirety of our relationship (even before she was affected by this condition) she was always the passive/submissive one when it came to being intimate. She is not comfortable taking charge and getting things started. So now the frequency of our sexual activities has dropped substantially not because of the condition itself but because when she is pain-free she is shy to initiate in the moment. I only find out later when she tells me that she missed the opportunity again.
I understand that it feels like the best solution is to have her always initiate, but I'd try to consider the fact that this puts a lot of pressure on her as well! Now she's completely in charge of all of your sexual interactions. It's also tough to be in a position where you feel like you're not allowed to ask for your own needs.
She's going to feel pressured one way or another, so I think the area to focus on is to help her recognize that she needs to find ways to help herself let go of feeling pressured. It sounds like it may be stirring up a deeper issue for her that is about more than sex.
I would try role-playing this stuff outside of the bedroom. Tell her that you guys are going to do this little experiment to help her feel more comfortable initiating and turning you down. If you set it up as not being "real" (as in, you're not actually initiating and you're not going to have sex right after this), it will relieve a lot of the pressure. Have her initiate sex, and practise saying the words until it feels more comfortable to her. It's fine to be a little goofy or awkward about it at first. Then have you initiate, and have her practice gently saying no, again until it starts to feel more comfortable.
I've been married to my wife for less than a year and the sporadic nature of our sex life is driving me insane. For a while now her sex drive has dropped significantly and we're only having sex about once a month. She never wants to have sex during the week so when another sexless weekend rolls by I can't help but get resentful. I feel like I've tried everything I can. I've made sure over and over that she was satisfied when we do have sex, I try not to press the issue often, and I've offered to have us sit down for therapy (she doesn't want to go). She keeps saying she needs more time and the issue will right itself but I believe that less and less as time goes on. I just don't know what to do anymore. She constantly calls me a perfect husband but all I feel is resentment as I can't call her a perfect wife. I know I'm in a cycle of bitterness but I don't know how to break it before our marriage hits the rocks. What should I do?
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, it sounds like you already have hit the rocks. I know this is incredibly difficult, but I would tell her that sex therapy is non-negotiable for you at this point. I would say something like: "I know we've been trying to solve this issue on our own for a long time, and it's getting to the point for me where I feel like our marriage is in jeopardy. I love you so much, and it pains me that it has gotten to this point. I need you to see a therapist with me, otherwise I'm not sure if I can continue this way for much longer."
How important is sex early on in a relationship? If it doesn't go well after 2-3 tries are people inclined to give up and assume the chemistry isn't there? It happened to me recently, the dating stuff was going great but the after date stuff did not, and things fizzled out. Do people sort of have a deadline in their mind — an "if it's not good early on its not getting any better" sort of thing? I would think it'd be an easier thing to improve upon than, say, fixing a personality trait?
I think it's different for everybody, but I'm a firm believer that sexual chemistry can be improved. It takes time to learn how to have sex with a new person, and figure out how the two of your bodies work together. If there are lots of other great things going for the two of you, and if it feels just a little awkward or uncomfortable, I'd be inclined to give it a few weeks.
On the other hand, I also work with a lot of couples who knew that they were clearly sexually incompatible from the get-go, but they stuck it out in hopes that things would get better. If seems like you two are into very different types of things in the bedroom, or have very different ideas of how frequently you want to have sex, you have to be willing to move on from a relationship. It's hard to give specific timeframes, but I'd say no longer than a few months.
Not sure how I approach asking my girlfriend to swallow after a blowjob. I understand that I have to respect a personal preference but it's a real turn off for me when she spits immediately.
Talk to her about it outside of the bedroom. Say something like "How would you feel about swallowing after a blowjob? It turns me on so much to think of you doing that."
