Navigating the demands of adult life can be challenging. From bills to pay, to increased responsibility, adulthood can bring with it great joy as well as stress and frustration. Adult relationships comprise a central part of everyday life. Whether it be through engagement with family, friends, children, or romantic partners, relationships provide the opportunity for individuals to grow, learn new things about oneself, and gain insight into the world of the other. Despite the opportunity for growth and learning, close relationships are not without their stress. Intimate relationships carry with them ups and downs. For instance, being involved in a close relationship likely means that each person is depending on the other to meet most of their needs. Inevitably, disappointment and feelings of anger occur when one partner feels they have been let down. Needless to say, adult relationships carry with it the inevitability of experiencing the whole range of emotionality; disappointment, anger, joy, excitement, arousal, and sadness.
Why do intimate relationships, familial or otherwise, cause a person to feel so much? Discoveries of the mind over the last 100 years can help answer the question of why adult relationships are intrinsically connected to the person's emotional world. The science of the human brain and discovery of cure from psychoanalysis (Glickauf-Hughes & Wells, 1997) reveal at a fundamental level humans are built for relationships. Meaning, humans could not exist in this world without the involvement of other humans. For example, infants are completely dependent on their caregivers to live. They would die without food, shelter, safety, even without emotional connection. Neuroscience discoveries of brain structure are consistently revealing how people are built to live and function with other people. For example, discoveries show that specific areas in the brain only respond to the emotional expressions of others. This is their sole purpose. Also, these areas of the brain are fully functional all the way back in infancy. Basically, the brain is hard wired to connect with others right from birth!
Psychoanalytic studies in infant research show in great detail how babies connect with their caregivers. There are different styles of connecting between babies and their caregivers, which are called "attachment styles." The first style is labeled secure attachment. This means the child is able to be comforted by their caregiver when they become upset. The other style is insecure attachment, in which it is very difficult for the child to be comforted by their caregiver when they become upset (Karen, 1994).
A specific way in which babies and their caregivers are studied is through observing how the baby and caregiver interact with each other. One of many observations is when the baby points at something to get the caregiver's attention. This is an attempt for the baby to connect with the caregiver. If the caregiver responds, then the baby will feel connected. If the caregiver does not respond, the baby will continue to feel disconnected. If disconnection is a frequent event between baby and the caregiver, the baby could develop an insecure attachment. If the caregiver is attuned most of the time the attachment will remain secure (Karen, 1994).
Since a foundation of human relationships is connection, this same behavior continues to be observed in adulthood. Adults need the same contact with their loved ones as they did when they were babies. Because of this, adults behave in ways to gain the attention of their close loved ones just as they did when they were younger. Gottman (2002) observed adult relationships having this same pattern especially in marriage relationships. He labeled it the "bid for connection." For example, a husband will point to something that interests him hoping to get a response back from his spouse that in some way mirrors his interest. If he gets a response he was hoping for, he will feel connected. If he does not get what he was hoping for, he may feel disappointed. Gottman shares the more a couple can connect with each other in these small ways the healthier their relationship (2002). His research has confirmed that connection in adulthood relationships is important. It is how humans come to know themselves and know others. To put it differently, one only comes to know themselves through the eyes of the other.
In order to create a greater sense of connection with loved ones, one needs to learn a few relational skills and ask some important questions on how to ask for needs of connection. Here are five ways to help stay connected:
1.) Take time to put into words what you need in a relationship. This maybe very difficult for some as this may be the first time a person has put words to what they want. Ask to start a conversation about what you need to move towards getting your needs met. For example, do you need more quality time with each other? Or, do you need less time with each other?
2.) Think about the different emotions you experience in the relationship. Humans have five basic emotions: sadness, anger, happiness, fear, and shame. Close relationships can stir up any of these emotions. Additionally, the emotions a person feels in a particular relationship can be the number one source of information to guide that person in knowing how to assess if the relationship is meeting the person's needs.
3.) It is important you are getting your needs met in a healthy way. If you are not getting your needs met by the one you love, then how are you getting those needs met? How do you distract yourself? Do you turn to alcohol or drugs? Do you choose healthy outlets to get your needs met?
4.) Getting one's needs met also means meeting the need of the other. Ask yourself what gets stirred up as you meet the need of the other? Meeting another's need can bring with it its own set of emotions. For example, one could feel resentful or manipulated to fulfill another's needs.
5.) Seeing a therapist can also be extremely helpful. Finding a well trained psychologist or psychoanalyst can get one on track to explore the deeper meaning of why a relationship is not going well.
These are some of the many questions a person can ask to help navigate the process of finding a greater connection with others. These questions can allow one to find the path to the journey of adult connectedness. Just as babies reach out to their caregivers for connection, adults also need to reach out for connection with the important people in their lives.

Background Trauma and its complications contribute to morbidity and mortality in the general population. Trauma victims are susceptible to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) are activated after trauma and there is substantial evidence of their involvement in the development of ARDS. Activated PMNs release heparin-binding protein (HBP), a granule protein previously shown to be involved in acute inflammatory reactions. We hypothesised that there is an increase in plasma HBP content after trauma and that the increased levels are related to the severity of the trauma or later development of severe sepsis and organ failure (ARDS). Methods and Material We investigated HBP in plasma samples within 36h from trauma in 47 patients admitted to a level one trauma centre with a mean injury severity score (ISS) of 26 (2134). ISS, admission sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores were recorded at admission. ARDS and presence of severe sepsis were determined daily during intensive care. Results We found no correlation between individual maximal plasma HBP levels at admission and ISS, admission SOFA or APACHE II. We found, however, a correlation between HBP levels and development of ARDS (P=0.026, n=47), but not to severe sepsis. Conclusion HBP is a potential biomarker candidate for early detection of ARDS development after trauma. Further research is required to confirm a casual relationship between plasma HBP and the development of ARDS.

Background: Our innate immunesystem protects us from infections but, since its methods is not all specific for microorganisms, may also induce collateral damage.
Severe physical injury often proved deadly throughout evolution. Such injuries may induce massive collateral damage. Nowadays we can initiate advanced critical care for affected patients and save them from imminent trauma-related death. We are therefore faced with the fact that the collateral damage from the immune system may pose a major threat to the patient, the pathophysiology of which is not amenable to direct medical treatment and which leaves us with only passive supportive measures.
In this thesis we investigated the role of leucocytes under such circumstances.
Our main aim was to understand better the role of leucocytes in the development of increased vascular permeability after burns and trauma.
More specifically we investigated the impact of an injury on the function of leucocytes such as the dynamic change of certain cell-surface receptors on the leucocytes and in their numbers and immature forms. We wanted to find out if the increased pulmonary vascular permeability after a burn could be mediated through heparin binding protein (HBP) released from granuloctes, and whether HBP could be used as a biomarker for respiratory failure after trauma. We also wanted to confirm the possible role of histamine as a mediator of the systemic increase in vascular permeability after burns.
Methods: The dynamic change of cell-surface receptors was measured by flow-acquired cytometer scanning (FACS) on blood samples taken after burns. The concentrations of HBP after a burn and mechanical trauma were analysed in plasma. Pulmonary vascular permeability after a burn was assessed using transpulmonary thermodilution. The histamine turnover after a burn was assessed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for concentrations of histamine and methylhistamine in urine.
Results: We confirmed earlier investigations showing altered expression of receptors on leucocytes after a burn, receptors intimately associated with leucocyte functions (study I). In a pilot study of 10 patients we measured plasma concentrations of HBP and found them to be increased soon after a burn (study II). This finding was not confirmed in a larger, more extensive and specific study of 20 patients. We did, however, find an association between alterations in the number of leucocytes soon after a burn and pulmonary vascular permeability, indicating that they had a role in this process (study III).
In another study of trauma (non burn) we found an association between the concentration of HBP in early plasma-samples after injury and the development of ARDS, indicating that granulocytes and HBP have a role in its aetiology (study IV).
We found a small increase in urinary histamine and normal urinary methylhistamine concentrations but had anticipated a distinct increase followed by a decrease after reading the current papers on the subject. This indicates that the role of histamine as a mediator of increased vascular permeability after burns may have been exaggerated (study V).
Conclusions: We conclude that leucocytes are affected by burns and trauma, and it is likely that they contribute to the development of respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). HBP is a candidate biomarker for the early detection of ARDS after trauma, and the white blood count (WBC) is a useful biomarker for the detection of decreased oxygenation soon after a burn.

WELLS � Fine art photographer Steve Wells is currently exhibiting his dramatic new photographs in the new Ethel M. Weymouth Art Gallery at the Wells Public Library, 1434 Post Road, Wells. His work will be on view during regular library hours through the end of August.
Wells specializes in creating stunning black-and-white and color landscape and seascape images of New England. �I enjoy the ability of mixing photography and computer technology to create beautiful images to share with people,� said Wells, a retired computer industry executive who lives in Wells.
He has been a photographer most of his life, beginning in elementary school when he shot movies on an 8-mm camera. Later on, he created cibachrome and black-and-white prints. He also shot and developed color slides. Today, he uses Pentax digital cameras with a variety of lenses to capture his images. Wells does all of his own printing and framing.
Wells loves taking photos and capturing the beauty of New England.
�I want to share this beauty with everyone,� he said. �To me, the framed print is the ultimate photographic statement, not images viewed on the screen from the internet. A printed image is something you can see, touch and get close to. It can be shared and appreciated by many for generations to come.�

New Delhi: Through a recent judgment, the Supreme Court has canceled the admissions to two self-financing medical colleges in Kerala- the DM Institute of Medical Sciences, Wayanad, and Mount Zion Medical College, Pathanamthitta. The decision came in response to a petition filed by the Medical Council of India,
The decision came in response to a petition filed by the Medical Council of India, challenging the decision of the state high court on the permission issue. It is reported that the high court giving relief to the said colleges allowed them to take admissions, despite MCI's denial.
Challenging the decision, MCI stated in court that while the colleges were earlier given instructions to bresolve the inadequacies, they did not do so, and hence should not be given approval. In response, the SC has now struck down the admissions. Deccan Herald notes that they have, however, been allowed to submit a petition challenging the decision considering the future of students, which is likely to be taken up on Friday.
Judgement soon to follow….

"A few feet away, the wolf stared at Lizzie with pale silver eyes, ears pricking forward in sharp triangles." So begins Elsie Broach's middle grade novel The Wolf Keepers.
Quickly, the ethical issue of keeping animals in cages as opposed to releasing them to the wild arises with valid arguments for each woven into the warp of the novel. The weft weave carries interesting information about the animals, like the long necks of the giraffe making it hard for them to throw up. Against this background, the zookeeper's daughter Lizzie soon meets Tyler who has run away from his foster parents and has been hiding with the elephants.
Together they keep Tyler hidden and search for answers to several mysteries. Why are the wolves getting sick and dying? Where is John Muir's cabin in the woods in Tenaya Canyon? Lizzie ponders an additional mystery. What is the story of Tyler's original family and why has he run away from his foster parents? After what seems to be a rash action that leaves them lost in Yosemite, they must also answer the mystery of how to survive and get back to the zoo.
The mysteries keep the reader in suspense while liberally seasoning the story with both the history and rationale behind John Muir's love of nature. His quotes are written in pertinent places as Lizzie keeps her summer journal assignment. She reads to Tyler, "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike." Tyler, having experienced hunger, is quite sure that people need bread more than beauty.
In the end, Lizzie and Tyler along with the reader, must decide if it is right to do a terrible thing for a good reason. The author does not tie up solutions to all the issues but leaves room for great discussions considering all sides of the problems of rescuing wild animals, displaying them in an educational manner that raises awareness in the public, and recognizing the need for animals to be free in their own environment.
Elsie Broach closes with an informative author's note giving background on the real history she has included and noting which parts are fictional. I highly recommend the book for middle schoolers and for people concerned for wildlife.

They give you a lot of warnings about waiting until you're in your forties to have kids.
Mainly it's about the health of the eggs and the impossibility of it ever happening in the first place. Shout out to the otherwise awesome OBGYN who told an early-thirties me I better jump on it if I wanted to ever get pregnant, and also, just as an aside, you were wrong. My husband and I got pregnant with a hint of an effort and ended up with TWO beautiful children, so who's laughing now?
Probably her, because she doesn't have twin toddlers. But anyway.
She wasn't a vet, so she didn't happen to mention the other side of waiting until you're 42 to get pregnant: the pet situation.
By the time I was in my late thirties I had pretty much given up on all hope not just for mankind but for my own ability to ever sustain a relationship. As a consolation prize for my last breakup I acquired two cats I never meant to get in the first place.
The first cat adoption is an elaborate story for another time involving a Hungarian con man, his beleaguered South African son, a crazy Chinese lady in a sketchy housing project who didn't speak a lick of the English, and a little feral ball of goodness and evil who was not to be stopped. Within the first hour of meeting Budapest, I had a premonition I would end up alone with her. "It's just you and me now, kid," I said to her, like Humphrey Bogart in a weird Disney retelling of Casablanca.
The second cat, Luka, was acquired in a slightly more on-purpose manner from the San Francisco animal shelter and was intended to be the first's companion. Unfortunately, Budapest turned out to be half raccoon and quite a solitary figure. In any case, with the demise of the relationship, I became a de facto cat lady.
I truly relished this role and fulfilled it zealously. I did not date for years and spent many, many lonely evenings at home nervously obsessing about my cats. I loved them thoroughly and they, in turn, gave me a modicum of attention and respect—and a lot of half-dead voles and baby sparrows—and for that I will honor them forever.
Meanwhile, a few states away, an aging ski bum with a failing marriage was also collecting cats and dogs. They were animal lovers with a teenaged daughter quickly growing up, so they started adopting pets like they were filling a void: several cats, an Italian greyhound, a Papillon, a freaking toy poodle.
But then they split up. The husband in question, an old flame of mine, circled back into my orbit. And the next thing you know, we were making plans to move in together and have twins. The only hiccup was how to refine and calibrate our pet symphony. He hashed out the custody details with his ex, I put my foot down about some details, and we moved in together.
It's a cozy situation full of love and lots of snuggling and quite a bit of bluster on the part of certain animal citizens of this domain. What I didn't anticipate is that my husband and I, lifelong animal collectors and lovers, would get to the point where we didn't have it in us to give the animals the attention they had become accustomed to. Once, I would beg my cats to curl up with me in bed, and I would feel blessed if Budapest deigned to sleep next to my head on a pillow. I spent hours of every day loving on them. And Jon had previously taken Rocky for a walk pretty much every day.
But now, after being climbed up and yelled at and drooled on and generally used as a human punching bag by toddlers all day, I don't have it in me. I climb into bed at long last after harrowing day after harrowing day, and immediately at least three animals pounce on me, desperate for attention—and I am equally desperate not to be touched. "Please," I beg them, "please let me be." I genuinely never thought I'd be the type to swat a cat off my lap at 9 p.m. when I dragged my sorry ass to bed. Used to be, those kitty snuggles were the best part of my day.
And then there's Gary, our outdoor cat. He showed up here years ago and never left, but won't come in our house. He's friendly with people but hates other animals and really should have adopted some lonely old lady without any existing pets. So Gary lives in an electric heated hut on our side deck, and every morning I slide open the door to feed him expensive canned food and fresh hot water. It's really not a bad life as far as being a basically feral animal goes. I'm sure some raccoons would kill for this setup. Still, I felt pretty guilty when a good friend came to visit over Thanksgiving and expressed mortification that we don't give Gary more attention. She did us the great favor of spending hours over the course of the weekend petting Gary. Thank god for her (says Gary).
As for Rocky, he's a delicate Mediterranean flower who secretly hates the outdoors and any hint of inclement weather. His favorite activity of all time is curling up under my electric blanket. He sleeps about 23.5 hours a day. So he's actually doing pretty well with the decline in his walking schedule. Jon still insists on taking him on walks a few times a week, and when Rocky senses this is about to happen, he burrows down deeper under the covers and pleads with me (with his eyes) to keep him safe and warm.

The 10 Best Liverpool Albums
A quick snapshot of some of the
best albums
ever to emerge from
To many, Liverpool is the capital city of music, ever since those four long-haired lads conquered the world, but so much great music has come drifting out from the shores of the River Mersey ever since. Here's a small list of some of the magnificent albums ever to emerge from Liverpool:
Beatles - '
The Beatles [White Album]
' (1968)
No Liverpool list could be complete without featuring messers Lennon and McCartney. Whilst they could easily take up multiple places on this list, we've pumped for just one - and for us their finest album and the only double LP on the list.
The Beatles
- or more commonly
The White Album
- marks a band reaching the zenith of their creative output. Just a year after conceptual mega-seller
St. Pepper's
, and before they fractured completely a year later
, The White Album
has everything on it. From sentimental twee folk 'Blackbird', aching power rock 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', gravely blues 'Yer Blues', the invention of metal with 'Helter Skelter', to the classic Beatles ditty 'Back in the USSR'. Pure brilliance!
Teardrop Explodes - '
' (1980)
The late 70s/early 80s marked a shift in the musical direction of the industry. The bloated and hedonistic sounds of disco and prog were replaced first with anarchic punk, then stripped back post-punk as the world awoke to the harshness of the times. This set the perfect tone for Liverpool bands to step into the fray once more. Teardrop Explodes led by poet Julian Cope brought psychedelics back into the mainstream and their debut album
was a wash of experiments and freshness that the industry was deeply lacking. Rejecting the new wave sound for something much more individual, they crafted a stand out album and launched Cope's career in the process.
A Flock of Seagulls - '
A Flock of Seagulls
' (1982)
Forgetting for a moment if you will, their frankly insane haircuts, A Flock of Seagulls created some of the 1982's most soaring and catchy new wave hits. Buoyed by the era of early MTV ascendence, their videos showed off the band to their hair-teased heights and songs like 'I Ran' were omnipresent for months. Follow up albums failed to capture the same sense of pop perfection and the band disappeared just as fast as they'd emerged.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - '
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
' (1984)
Another band that led the charge for catchy pop hooks and a return to disco beats was Frankie Goes to Hollywood - who dominated the year 1984. Songs 'Two Tribes' and the tongue-in-cheek 'Relax' never left the radio playlist as the band created one of the catchiest and cleanest produced records of the year. As with most things in the 80s though, they didn't last, and their follow up
just two years later fell on an audience that had already tuned out.
Echo and the Bunnymen - '
Ocean Rain
' (1984)
A clear standout in mid-80s glass and bombast was the magnificent Echo and the Bunnymen. Created by singer Ian McCulloch who'd previously been in Crucial Three with Seagull's Pete Wylie and Teardrop's Julian Cope. Their dark post-punk, psychedelia was tinged with Doors-esque sound and gloomy images over a drum machine called Echo. Their integrity and decidedly un-Liverpool sound made them stand out from their contemporaries and deliver a series of seminal releases over the next 30 years. None more than 1984's hauntingly brilliant
Ocean Rain
- which featured hit 'The Killing Moon' defining them for a generation.
The La's - '
The La's
' (1990)
As the 80s died away in a swathe of yuppies and Thatcherism, the 90s brought with another new wave of sound - indie. The La's were right at the forefront of launching a sound that would dominate the next decade with their eponymous and only album. Singer-songwriter Lee Mavers and Bassist vocalist John Power were the heart of the band and tracks like 'There She Goes' are still as fresh today as when they were recorded in the late 80s.
Cast - '
All Change
' (1995)
After John Power departed The La's he went on to form Cast, a band identified by many including Noel Gallagher as being a major influence on music in the 90's. Releasing their debut album
All Change
just as the Britpop wave was peaking, it contained the indie anthem 'Alright' which played in heavy rotation and featured on numerous soundtracks for coming years. The band continued to release albums for the next 20 years but never would they find themselves in the right place - right time as much as then.
Coral - '
The Invisible Invasion
' (2005)
As if Liverpool hadn't had enough waves of success in the 90s, 80s and 60s, the 2000s produced yet another wave of musical acts and a definitive sound to rule the airwaves. Liverpool record label Deltasonic created a world of their own and leading the charge was the fantastic Coral with their layered sound, mod stylings and hooky tracks that became the singalong standards in the mid-2000s. Hitting their stride on fourth album
The Invisible Invasion
, courtesy of a tighter sound and clean production, the band created a defining piece of the 00s music scene and are thankfully still riding strong today.
Ladytron - '
Witching Hour
' (2005)
Coming from a completely different perspective than many of the mid 00's bands were Ladytron who mixed indie, electro and shoegaze and created a sound that was uniquely their own and more forward-thinking than many of the retro-inspired artists of the time. Their third album 'Withing Hour' found them finding their sound more fully than previously. Moody and dark, yet filled with sharp hooks and energy that defined their position and made them one of the most unique acts to come out of Liverpool for decades.
The Zutons - '
Tired of Hanging Around
' (2006)
The Coral's Deltasonic labelmate The Zutons fused indie sing-along songwriting with soul and funk and became one of the most lauded and interesting acts of the decade. From their first album, the catchy hits were ever present, them winning a Mercury Prize in the process. Following in 2006
Tired of Hanging Around
showed their pop magnificence to full potential, producing singles like 'Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?' and 'Valerie' - which went on to be most well known as Amy Winehouse's breakthrough hit. By the end of the decade they were no more, but for a time, the world belonged to the Zutons.

"the luckiest generation"
"They are a generation without responses - apathetic, laconic, no great loves, no profound hates and pitifully few enthusiasms. They are a wordless generation. If they have ideas they don't seem to like to rub them against other people's ideas."
"Unimaginative, yes," reported another teacher, "but they are very realistic. Security is uppermost in their minds."

Making the Most of Wedding Shows
When the calendar turns to a new year, the wedding shows begin to pop up to provide inspiration and oodles of incredible wedding vendors for the newly-engaged set. Walking into a show can be incredibly overwhelming. I'm here to tell you that with a little preparation, you can make the most of the $10+ you spent on a ticket. Wouldn't you rather walk out empowered than overwhelmed by the whole process?
5 tips for making the most of a wedding show
Get Prepared. Create a new email address specifically for your wedding. It could be a combination of your names, your new last name and wedding date, or something cute like JakeandKateTietheKnot at gmail dot com. Every vendor at a wedding show will most likely ask you to sign up for more information or to enter a giveaway. To avoid gumming up your regular email up with a ridiculous amount of wedding things (as pretty as they might be!), set up a separate account to keep yourself organized. Once the emails start filtering in, create folders to sort out the important-to-you information for easy referencing throughout the planning process.
Make a Plan. Most wedding shows share their exhibitor and event information on their website prior to the show. This is a great way to scope out who will be there, which fashion shows you want to see, etc. If there are certain vendors you really don't want to miss, making note of them before you go will help you manage your time at the show well. Extra Tip: Don't feel like you need to stop at every booth. Maximize your time by stopping at ones that interest you and your unique wedding style and needs.
Bring Bags. A reusable grocery bag will be your new best friend. You will receive so many magazines, business cards, and treats that you won't be able to carry it all. Even if the show hands out a bag, bring an extra. Usually, their bags are pre-loaded with goodies that an extra one might come in handy.
Hydrate. Between walking the show and talking to a lot of vendors (not to mention your crew), you're bound to get a little thirsty. Grab a water or a coffee before the show to stay hydrated and ready to tackle some planning.
Get Chatting. If a booth piques your interest, pop in and chat with the vendor. Ask them more about themselves and how their services work, and share your budget and wedding date. Communication is crucial and getting to know them a bit at the show will also help you select who you want to set up a meeting with afterwards!
Bonus Tip: Have Fun!
This seems like an obvious one, but, as I said before, it can be easy to get overwhelmed at a show. There's so much wedding goodness showcased in one place. Whether you decide to tackle the show on a organized mission to make decisions or you choose to wander it slowly just for fun, this is one of the best times of your life. Enjoy being engaged! The wedding planning will happen one way or another, so don't stress yourself out.
Even if the idea of a wedding show does nothing for you, it can be a fun day out with your mom or your besties celebrating this special time in your life. Soak in all the prettiness and dream of your own big day!

In the wake of yesterday's allegations of sexual misconduct against comedian, writer, actor and director Louis C.K., the release of his new film "I Love You, Daddy" has been officially cancelled by distributor The Orchard a week before it was to hit cinemas.
The New York premiere was abruptly cancelled yesterday mere hours before the New York Times story involving five women's accusations broke. Though CK self-funded the black and white comedy, The Orchard paid $5 million at this year's Toronto Film Festival to distribute the property and has already spent more on advertising and marketing.
C.K. has released an official statement in which he admits the accusations against him are true, here's the statement in full below (via THR):
"I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not. These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn't a question. It's a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.
I have been remorseful of my actions. And I've tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I'm aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position. I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn't want to hear it. I didn't think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.
There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with. I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work.
The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them. I'd be remiss to exclude the hurt that I've brought on people who I work with and have worked with who's professional and personal lives have been impacted by all of this, including projects currently in production: the cast and crew of Better Things, Baskets, The Cops, One Mississippi, and I Love You Daddy.
I deeply regret that this has brought negative attention to my manager Dave Becky who only tried to mediate a situation that I caused. I've brought anguish and hardship to the people at FX who have given me so much The Orchard who took a chance on my movie. and every other entity that has bet on me through the years. I've brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother. I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen."
Streaming giant Netflix has dropped plans for a second standup special from C.K. after his first for the company was released earlier this year and as of right now that special and four others are still available on the service. HBO has taken the more drastic measure of eliminating all Louis C.K. material, including several standup specials and the TV series "Lucky Louie" from their streaming platforms.
FX Networks and FX Productions have just released a statement saying they are "ending our association with Louis C.K." and are "cancelling the overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton". He will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows they were producing with him – "Better Things," "Baskets," "One Mississippi" and "The Cops". TBS has suspended all production on the animated "The Cops" which he co-created with Albert Brooks.
In social media postings, Louis C.K.'s management-production company 3Arts have terminated their relationship with him, and his publicist Lewis Kay is also no longer representing him.

My Dinner with Lee
Doug types too much...
November 26, 2017
I am friends with a man named Lee who escaped from South Vietnam in the 1970s.
I met him in the 1990s when I flew from upstate New York to San Angelo, Texas. Lee had flown from California to install a new version of software for a system I was there to train users on.
San Angelo is not the center of the world. At least it wasn't then. Maybe things have changed, but I doubt it. Their city limits signpost indicated a population of over 80,000. As I drove into the "city" on a quiet Sunday morning in my rental car, I remember asking myself, "Well, where are they? Where is everyone?"
They had a billboard along the highway advertising their annual Rattlesnake Roundup. I was not there for the actual Roundup where they do all things rattlesnake, but I did eat my one and only entree of fried rattlesnake at dinner one night during the week I was there.
Dare I say it? Tasted like chicken.
I stopped at a convenience store before checking into my hotel to pick up a 6-pack. No. Sorry. Blue laws. After unpacking my bags in my modest room, I went down and asked the clerk at the front desk what there was to do in town. She smiled. "Not much really. There's a mall you can walk to if you want."
The mall itself was slim pickings, but they did have a run-down multiplex that was showing 4 different movies. So I burned away the rest of my lonely Sunday by going in succession to all 4 of the movies which at least got me through the afternoon and evening. Then I retired to my room. Thank God they had HBO. I watched more movies. Even the ones I didn't want to watch.
I don't sleep well anyway, but it's even harder for me when I'm traveling. I fell asleep sometime during the wee hours. I would have jumped from my window well before that, but I was on the 1st floor.
I drove to Goodfellow Air Force Base early Monday morning and that's where I met Lee. We shook hands and clicked immediately. Lee was smart. Congenial. And he was funny. Back then, his accent was still pretty heavy. He pronounced Doug "Duck."
They have a restaurant in San Angelo called Zentner's Daughter. At that time, they bragged about having a steak on the menu that was so large, it hung over parts of the platter they brought it on. I can attest. If memory serves, it was 32 ounces. And on my first visit, I did in fact attempt to eat one. I got pretty close for a little guy.
Lee approached me at work on Tuesday. "Duck. Let's have dinner tonight."
Since Zentner's Daughter was pretty much the only game in town restaurant-wise, we agreed to go there.
It was a dinner that changed my life.
We sat and talked for hours.
When it was over, I had tears in my eyes.
Lee told me about his life in Vietnam. But he also schooled me about America.
Lee came from a large family. And when Saigon fell in 1975, the only hope of survival for many was escape. There were multiple hookups in the middle of the night, meeting nefarious characters promising passage. Lee and others proffered handfuls of scraped together cash, only to have their hopes dashed when the boat was not sea-worthy, or just didn't show up at all. But finally he made it onto a boat that was jam-packed so tightly with refugees, they had to stand up pressed against each other because there wasn't room to sit.
Their voyage wasn't just days. It was weeks. Starvation rations. Sweltering conditions. Unrelenting exposure to the elements.
Lee volunteered to be a person that stood up above the rest on the rim of the cargo pit. His job was to lift people up from the crush, one at a time. All day and all night. Each person he hoisted up was allowed 15 minutes to breathe freely, with some sips of water thrown in. "Sometimes, I would lift one up and they were…" His voice trailed off with the memory.
Dead. They were dead.
"And then…I would have to…" He made a motion of tossing a human being off the side of the boat and shook his head with a deep sadness. "And that was that."
Their journey was fraught with peril. At the 17-day point, they drifted to an island where they were threatened and turned away. It was another 5 days before they were flown to California.
Lee had a sponsor in the states. An address written on a crumpled piece of paper. You had to have a relation stateside or they wouldn't let you in.
Lee settled in. He worked 3 jobs, learned English, and went to school to get a degree so he could work in the field of computers. He became an American citizen.
I asked him what his first impressions were of America.
He pointed to the salt and pepper shakers on our table, lined up against a bottle of ketchup, a bottle of A-1, and a container of sugar packets. "I walked through the airport and we had to pass restaurants where you had condiments on every table. And I thought to myself, 'What a place this is where they give things away like this for free.' I couldn't believe it."
He added, "I looked around me and I thought 'You can be anything in this country if you're willing to work hard enough.'"
Then he leaned into me. "But most important is freedom. I came from a place where you couldn't always trust your family and relatives. You have no idea what freedom you have. You can sit around your dinner table and criticize the president. You can talk about anything. In Vietnam before I left, if you dared to speak out, one of your own relatives might turn you in. A knock would come in the middle of the night, and soldiers would take you away. And you'd never be seen again."
That night we drove back in a shared car to the hotel. Texas weather can be freakish and it certainly was that night. Halfway back, we encountered a storm. Rain suddenly hammered down. Lightning flashes. Thunderous thunder. I flipped the wipers on and black smeared the windshield in gritty swipes that within seconds forced us off the road. The car was getting seriously pelted and I managed to slowly guide us under a flimsy roof overhang attached to a Podunk gas station.
We got out of the car and realized it was literally raining mud. Yeah. Mud from the sky. In thick heavy dollops.
A guy getting gas and an attendant stood under the covering with us.
The attendant grinned. "Yeah, you don't see that very often."
Often? Damn. I'm thinking to myself, "Why are you even seeing this at all?"
The mud drops eventually filtered to regular rain and we were able to drive to the hotel, the downpour rinsing the dirt off our car as we went.
It's been a while since I met Lee. We see each other rarely because we live on opposite coasts and we don't travel in the same circles anymore. But each time I see him or we speak on the phone, it's like there's been no gap. We just pick right up. He loves my family, and he especially loves it when Judy makes broiled salmon.
Lee saw America as a land of opportunity. He's now the head of a major software division. He's happily married. He personally has helped others come to America where they have prospered and loved this country as much as he does.
And nowadays, whenever we speak, we are much closer to Doug than Duck.
I love America. And its freedom. Its opportunity. Its inherent generosity. America is not without its problems. Aberrations are a natural fallout of a free society. But more importantly, we should remember this country boasts hundreds of millions of people from all walks who would give you the shirts off their backs in times of need.
In my particular case, the gift of freedom was the luck of geography.
You can call it fate. You can call it providence. But my chance dinner with Lee where I was reminded what freedom really means?
I call that the geography of luck.

Something to celebrate!
The United Nations
Arms Trade gun control Treaty failed to get ratified!
The treaty was supposed to be ratified last Friday, July 27, 2012.
But James S. Robbins reports for The Washington Times that talks over the UN Arms Trade Treaty fell apart, effectively killing the agreement.
A pro-treaty legal blog reports that the process seemed to be moving to completion when the United States requested an extension to the time allotted to negotiate the agreement. This opened the door to other countries to begin registering more complex objections, and it soon became clear that reaching agreement within the allowed time frame would be impossible.
The proposed treaty had raised considerable domestic opposition from gun rights advocates in the United States.
Now the treaty has died before it had a chance to become a threat. We dodged the bullet (sorry for the pun!) for now, but the UN still may take up the matter at a later date. Satan Never Sleeps!
See my post, "We are insane if we sign the UN "Arms Trade" gun control treaty," on how real a threat to our Second Amendment rights the treaty was.

Kangana Ranaut is back and how. The lady is a scene stealer in every true sense. She looks terrific on screen, acts pretty well and gets the best dialogues to mouth. And you will see her do all of that once again in Rangoon. The just released trailer has the actress playing Jaanbaaz Julie, a leading female action star from 1940. From unleashing the hunter to shouting out 'bloody hell' in her ultra husky seductive voice to seducing her two leading men – Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor. Kangana holds your gaze with her magnetic screen presence and 'taalimaar' dialogues.
Rangoon is a love story based on the backdrop of World War II. Saif plays a rich, Mumbai-based theatre owner while Kangana Ranuat is the prime attraction at Saif's establishment. When Kangana is sent to Burma, where the Indian National Army is stationed, she falls in love with Shahid Kapoor who is an Indian soldier fighting for the British in World War II.
Soon, begins a tumultuous love story, filled with deceit, in the backdrop of war and with Vishal Bhardwaj in the director's chair, it is difficult for anything to go wrong.
The movie was a period film set in the 1940s in the good old Bombay before it takes a long travel to the east. Shahid and Saif play Kangana's love interests and both actors are in their element. While Saif is classy as he sports his aristocratic look with panache in the film, Shahid is all messy as he gets down and dirty.
The neatly cut trailer establishes the relationship that Kangana shares with Saif and Shahid and gives ample space to all three actors to display their wares. Kangana looks equally at ease while romancing both the leading men. The face-off sequence between Shahid and Saif will be one of the most keenly awaited moments.
The film will bring back memories of British India and an era gone by. Given Vishal's penchant of extracting career best performances from every actor, he has directed, one can expect to see just the same from the cast and crew of Rangoon.

If you had known me for a while, chances are I would have told you at some point that one of my favorite things to do is edit videos. My dream is to become a professional video editor. My father was a professional video editor who enjoyed lots of success working for various companies and small film studios. He earned his degree at Washington State University, and that is one of the main reasons why I decided to enroll at the same college. I am more or less going to be taking the same kinds of courses that he took a long time ago. Of course, there will be a lot of differences between us, considering that filmmaking technology has advanced a lot since the early 1990s. However, the art of film editing has stayed somewhat similar since that time, and it will be exciting to learn even more about it.
I personally like to edit only specific kinds of footage (although I will, of course, edit any kind of footage should a potential employer require it). My favorite things to edit mainly relate to my interests outside of film. I love playing video games with friends, so I, in turn, love editing videos of gaming. I also occasionally will record my own gameplay, edit them down into interesting moments, and post them onto YouTube. I do this a lot because I am inspired by others who upload to Youtube for a living. I also enjoy watching sports, so I, therefore, love to edit sports footage. I think a dream job of mine would be to help a team edit their sports highlights.
I think I can use my hobbies and current knowledge of film editing to help with my four projects later on. In fact, I can't wait to create content about it!

All Beliefs are Welcome Here!
Views: 167
my way of thinking is lot like yours in all honestly I believe in all gods and specifically ones that I feel are called to myself. I only just recently got involved being a christopagan. And the journey has been hard to say the least dealing with criscism from both the pagan community and old church friends.
I put something up on my facebook that had a little to do with gaia and an old church friend got offended by it....or just did not agree and voiced as such on the link. Which I responded to that I respected that his views were different from my own.
really I guess with that kind of thing thats the only way you can handle the situation I am going to deal with a lot of people that just don't like it or understand.
My mother is considering the idea of me talking to my pastor about helping me find a job now that I have moved back in town to help myself but since my views have changed some I am not sure if this is a good idea or not. I still attend the church I still like the people there, but I don't agree with everything they do or what they think anymore. And it took me a long time to find myself as a person and I really just refuse to compromise myself for the sake of others.
I realize this has been up here now for a while, but it's the first time I saw it. I'm a ChristoPagan myself, even though my wife says I'm more Pagan, and I talk to a lot of people on the idea. For example, in the 10 commandmants, people always say that you should worship only him, when in fact it says "you shall worship no other Gods before me." That right there should be a clue that he's not the only deity, or it would say that you should worship only him. Just because someone is Head of Household or Man of the house, or whatever you want to use, doesn't mean he's the only one in the house.
Another point I make is that the Bible says man was created from his creator, so how do we know (On the Christian faith side) that we dont have some of the "magik" from our creator in ourselves? How do we know we don't have the power to do things or make things happen? On a similar note, the bible says man was created first in his image, then woman was created later. Where did the image of woman come from, and if God was asexual, why isn't man that way? Why is there 2 different sexes if we were created from the same creator?
One of my favorite points (being into the paranormal) is why Christianity, as a whole it seems, dismisses ghost, hauntings, and the like to something evil, when they themselves talk about the holy ghost or holy spirit. It's countering what they believe, that's one of the reasons I fell out of the church.
In the end, I say that I loosely believe in Christianity to a point. I believe that Christianity is the bases of the Male side of religion. In my opinion. That's where the paganistic side of me comes out. I believe in a Female side of it as well. The bible only talks about males and what males did and preached. They say nothing of women, even though being married to one was a status. I believe that the bible, being wrote by man, had been hijacked by those who would use it to supress certain other beliefs. So I use the basis of Christianity as the God side, and the Wiccan/ Druid side to balance my pagan side. After all, according to the dictionary a pagan is someone who believes in more than one deity. So the whole Trinity thing is, in fact, pretty much a pagan idea.
Just some things to think about with the idea of Christopaganism and how others might view it. In the end though, you have to find your belief and where you stand, otherwise; spirituality means nothing.
I am christopagan as well but I am also a hereditary witch and how we kept out of trouble was going to church, lol! We incorporated what we wanted from the church and went our merry way.
ee my reply to the other discussion from someone needing help Let me reasureyou as i proved in the above discussion anyone claiming that Christianity and Witchcraft are incompatable is basing that opinion on bad translation and not on the original text of the bible!

By: Ameen Hosain For the past two weeks, the Cheyenne Mountain chapter of Trout Unlimited teamed up with members of The Greenbacks to hold two, two-day fly fishing classes for the summer camp students at the Atlas Preparatory school in Colorado Springs.
The goal of the class was to give students a new perspective on the outdoors, and to introduce them to the basics of all aspects of fly fishing; including casting, knots, fish handling, and fly tying, as well as to give them an opportunity to catch fish themselves.
The first day began with a basic entomology class on bugs and their life cycles. Volunteers and camp leaders also showed the students what fish eat, and the flies that represent these species and phases. All of this was don in order to give students a better understanding of what the term "fly" fishing actually means.
The afternoon was then spent teaching the campers how to cast a fly rod. With contests being held for both accuracy and distance, the students were all engaged and enjoyed the casting lessons. To complete the day, a fly tying class was taught- allowing each of the campers to tie three easy, yet effective flies that they could use the next day on the water.
The following morning, volunteers and campers loaded onto the bus to take a voyage to the Lost Dutchman resort- a private trout ranch stocked with high numbers of hungry trout. The kids then put to test what they had learned, casting the flies they had tied with high hopes. Many kids were able to hook up with and land their first ever trout! It was a great time for campers and volunteers alike, with smiles on faces all around.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has denied that he has failed in his 2011 election target of making Ireland "the best small country in the world to do business".
The World Bank's most recent 'Doing Business' report has placed Ireland in 13th position out of 189 countries.
The Government's new enterprise policy has a key objective of "achieving and retaining a top-three competitiveness ranking" by 2020.
Asked whether this meant that he had not succeeded in his previously stated aim, Mr Kenny said: "We're not at number one, but we've moved a long way from where we were.
"This plan and the next period of Government give us an opportunity to be very near the top," said the Taoiseach at the launch of 'Enterprise 2025' in Dublin.
He added: "I've no doubt when I see all of the young people in so many places around the country, and that imagination and creativity is going to lead Ireland to be very high on that ladder, if not number one, by the end of the next term."
The document sets out a target of having 2.18 million people in work, with 221,300 new jobs to be created over the next five years.
Mr Kenny said that if it was re-elected, the Government would work to ensure full employment. This meant everybody having jobs apart from 5pc-6pc of the eligible workforce.
"We expect to achieve that in the lifetime of the next government," he said - but wouldn't set a limit on the number of jobs that could be created.
Enterprise 2025 puts the emphasis on trying to address unemployment outside Dublin.
"Ireland has the potential to see regional unemployment rates no higher than one percentage point away from the national employment rate by 2020," it says.
Three key areas are identified as needing particular attention:
- Creating a step-change in the performance of our enterprises.
- Building a real and distinctive competitive edge and differentiating Ireland's offering.
- Excelling in creating a jobs-fit environment and getting the basics right.
The plan targets export growth of 6pc-8pc each year and an increase in the number of start-ups by 25pc each year.
Mr Kenny said: "Enterprise 2025 is a blueprint on how to rebuild a sustainable economy, sector by sector."
The launch was also attended by Tánaiste Joan Burton, Jobs Minister Richard Bruton and junior ministers Ged Nash and Damien English.
Ms Burton noted the 1,000 new jobs announced by Apple in Cork, saying that this gave a boost to the entire city.
"Because behind the numbers are real lives, real communities - and good jobs are central to people and communities thriving," she said.
"Our aim will be to ensure that there is an apprenticeship, training place or college place for every young person who wants one."
However, Fianna Fáil's spokesman on Jobs and Enterprise, Dara Calleary, said the latest government enterprise strategy was just another rehash of existing policy.
He added: "There are many lofty targets in 'Enterprise 2025' - published on the eve of a general election.
"Nothing in this document is new and it continues the Government's failure to recognise the two-tiered economy which it has encouraged through its policies."

21-Year-Old Donor Recipient Pens Heartfelt Letter To 15-Year-Old Donor's Family
August 5, 2016
A 15-year-old boy passed away unexpectedly, but because he was an organ donor, he was able to give someone another chance at a healthy, pain-free life.
His brother recently shared the touching letter written by the man who's life was saved with the donated tissue.
The letter reads:
Dear Donor Family,
I'd like to express my sympathy for the death of your loved one. I also want to thank you for the special gift they donated. Without this donation, I would not be healing from a successful surgery right now, and I wouldn't have another chance at a healthy, pain-free life.
I needed a tissue transplant in order to fully repair my posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which I tore due to a nasty fall off a bike this past September. It seems like such a dumb way to sustain a makor injury, but it's certainly a lesson in how quickly like can change! Now, because I could have surgery with the tissue transplant, I have the opportunity to work toward a full, 100% recovery. Moreover, repairing my PCL lessens long term risks such as early, onset [arthritis].
This is all quite a blessing to me. I'm a 21-year-old finishing up my last semester of college. My favorite hobbies are playing music (saxophone and piano), playing team sports, and getting out in nature. I try to be very active. I've taken many trips to the Boundary Waters, and I've run a marathon (and hope to complete another before too long!). As I mentioned before, I wouldn't have the opportunity to once again use my body's full potential without the gift of your loved one. Thank you for honoring your loved one's wishes at a very difficult time. I am humbled by your generosity and kindness.

This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
And I'm Renee Montagne. Good morning.
It's Thanksgiving Day. Things are pretty quiet in Washington, D.C. because most members of Congress have gone home for turkey dinner, presumably. They may be resting up before facing another big holiday - New Years - deadline for the fiscal cliff. That's when drastic budget cuts and across-the-board tax hikes take effect, unless Congress and the president agree on a less severe deficit reduction plan.
NPR's David Welna reports on how things got to this point.
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: It all goes back to some hot, frantic days in late July and early August last year. Treasury officials were warning then that the nation, for the first time ever, was near defaulting on its debt. Congressional Republicans, spurred by Tea Party activists, set off this unprecedented crisis, because they refused to raise the government's borrowing limit unless spending was cut by an equal amount. And they would not accept more revenue as a means to offset a hike in the debt ceiling. More than $2 trillion in deficit reduction had to be found, fast.
Congress hurriedly agreed to a trillion dollars worth of cuts over the next decade. The rest was to be found later by a congressional supercommittee proposed at the time by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid.
SENATOR HARRY REID: It would be a joint committee that would move forward and there would be a trigger, that if they didn't resolve this, then something else would happen. And based on past experiences, I think there would be tremendous incentive not to let that certain thing happen when the trigger kicked in.
WELNA: The certain thing Reid referred to is what's known as sequestration. Lawmakers agreed that if they failed to come up with a deficit reduction plan, draconian across-the-board cuts in federal spending would be triggered January 1st, 2013 - the same day that all the Bush-era tax cuts were set to expire.
At the White House, President Obama gave his blessing.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: If we need to put in place some kind of enforcement mechanism to hold us all accountable for making these reforms, I'll support that too if it's done in a smart and balanced way.
WELNA: Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell was also on board.
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: I think I can say, with a high degree of confidence, that there is now a framework to review that will ensure significant cuts in Washington spending.
REID: Congressional expert Ross Baker of Rutgers University says minds, at the time, were not focused on what might be happening five weeks from now.
ROSS BAKER: It was August, you know, August is a time for recesses, it's not the time for serious legislation, and I think that the real problem at the time was trying to insure that there was not a default, they just had to get beyond that.
WELNA: Some Democrats voted for the debt ceiling deal only because it avoided default. One of them was New Mexico Senator Tom Udall.
SENATOR TOM UDALL: Almost everything else about this deal stinks, and it stinks to high heaven.
REID: And some Republicans voted for the deal, even though it could end up shearing a trillion dollars off defense spending. Here's what Arizona Senator Jon Kyl had to say.
SENATOR JON KYL: This should never have been agreed to by members of Congress, but most of all, should never have been promoted by the president.
WELNA: The supercommittee charged with finding additional deficit reduction last year, failed to do so, after Republicans on the panel rejected raising any new revenue. So the trigger for automatic spending cuts was cocked. But in his final debate with Mitt Romney, President Obama seemed to rule out sequestration.
OBAMA: First of all, the sequester is not something that I proposed, it's something that Congress has proposed; it will not happen.
WELNA: Rutgers' Baker thinks the president had reason to trust Congress would prevent sequestration.
BAKER: With a gun at its head, Congress will in fact act, but then and only then.
WELNA: Indeed, after meeting with President Obama last week, Senate GOP leader McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner said there could be a new way to cut deficits.
MCCONNELL: We're prepared to put revenue on the table.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN BOEHNER: To show our seriousness, we've put revenue on the table.
WELNA: And if lawmakers do hit on a way to mix spending cuts and more revenue to cut deficits and avoid sequestration, New Year's could be cause for celebration.

Modern life has shown that more couples are choosing to live together without being married or having entered into a Civil Partnership.
Cohabitation agreements is intended to set out your financial obligations to each other and to document how assets are to be divided if you separate including property, household contents, savings or other investments.
Whilst a cohabitation agreement cannot be strictly enforced, it may be used as evidence in any Court proceedings should they become necessary. However it has been our experience that when partners do document their financial arrangements they are more likely to abide by the agreement reached.
If you do find yourself in a situation whereby you have been in a relationship and have made financial contributions to an asset such as the family home you lived in (but is held in only one person's name) and then separate, please contact our team of family lawyers who are experienced in cohabitation law to discuss your legal position and whether we can assist you to make a claim.

How closely did you check your mail? You may have just thrown away a check for $100
The check is in the mail — no really, you should probably check your mailbox.
The next time you're sorting the "junk" from the bills, make sure you don't throw away that Valpak envelope without checking it closely. It could contain a check for $100.
And no, it's not a scam — the check is real. Take it, sign the back, deposit it into your checking account and indulge.
"We get people calling all the time wanting to know if the check is real," said Jeff Goodman, co-owner along with Kim Goodman of Valpak of Northwest Washington, which handles the coupon packs for everyone between Everett and the Canadian border. "We say yes it is. Go cash that thing!"
Including a check in the Valpak envelope was started nationally three years ago.
"It's been a pretty good promotion for us," Jeff said. "People have to go through every coupon in the envelope to see if they have a check."
The Goodmans said they send out one $100 check for every 50,000 coupon envelopes. With about 150,000 packs hitting the mail each month, there is a potential for three winners per month — if the checks are actually found and not thrown away.
Lia Jensen, the regional Valpak distributor for Grand Rapids, Michigan, told WZZM13.com in a story posted Monday that only seven of the 36 checks that her company mailed out in 2017 were cashed.
But people in Northwest Washington evidently must be more diligent— or at least more interested in going through an envelope full of coupons. The Goodmans said they have had at least one check cashed every month, though not every check is cashed.
"We get people that call that are so excited all the time," Kim said. "They can't believe we're giving away money. ... One of my favorite stories was this elderly lady from Sedro-Woolley called asking if it was real. We told her it was. A little while later, we heard back from her, and she said, 'Me and Pa went and each got a massage, and it felt so good!'"

Bossy Butch/
Dear Dr. Darcy,
I've always dated feminine women and now I'm dating a butch. I'm having a difficult time with her because she's bossy. She wants me to check in with her whenever I'm out, she wants me to text her when I get home and when we're together she wants me to do all the traditional 'female' roles like put together meals and clean up after them. We'll be sitting in front of the tv and she'll ask me to get her a drink even though she's closer to the kitchen. When I confront her about this, she tells me that this is how it is to date a butch. Is she right?
She sounds less like a butch and more like a bitch. And what's worse is that she's trying to pass off her neanderthal behaviors as her lesbian role. It's pretty egregious in my opinion.
I don't care whether you're dating Super Femme, Sporty Femme, Soft Butch, Stone Butch, Futch or any other version thereof, your partner needs to treat you with respect. Period.
I bet if a man treated you the way your girlfriend is treating you, there would be no ambiguity about right or wrong. The problem in our community is that we tend to minimize the problem because the perpetrator is a woman. I'm here to tell you that the way you're being treated is bad for you, bad for her and bad for us as a community. The next time she's on the couch and grunts to express her request for a beverage, remind her that if you wanted to be with a misogynist, you wouldn't be a lesbian.
