The West Highland white terrier, commonly called a "Westie," is a small, energetic dog with a lively and lovable personality. The Westie is very loyal and smart but also possesses an independent spirit. Though quite compact, the Westie is not dainty or overly muscular.
The Westie's upbeat and lovable personality makes it a wonderful companion. Both active and cuddly, the Westie is versatile and adaptable, making the breed a great fit in most households. This compact breed is joyful and loyal. With appropriate training and socialization, Westies can get along well with children and can generally fit in with all types of households. In addition, this small dog breed is typically suitable for apartment living.

History of the West Highland White Terrier
The West Highland white terrier hails from Poltalloch, Scotland and dates back well over a century. It's believed that all of the terriers of Scotland came from the same lineage, including the Scotties, Cairns, Dandie Dinmonts, and Westies. Westies were used to hunt vermin as well as provide companionship. The inspiration for breeding a white terrier is said to come from Malcolm, Laird of Poltalloch, who noted that his red terrier looked too much like a fox when hunting. After a tragic accident, he determined to breed a white terrier.
Once known as the Poltalloch terrier or Roseneath terrier, the breed has been in the US since the early 1900s. It was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1908.
The advertising for Cesar dog food features a West Highland white terrier, as does that for the Black & White Scotch whisky.
West Highland White Terrier Care
The Westie is completely white with medium-length hair. The top coat is coarse, stiff and dry while the undercoat is soft and fine. Westies require routine grooming, generally on a weekly basis. Brush or hand-strip (pluck dead hairs) your Westie at least once a week. You may also wish to have your Westie trimmed by a groomer from time to time (generally every four to six weeks). Fortunately, Westies shed very little. Regular nail trims are also important in order to keep your Westie's feet healthy and comfortable.
As true terriers, Westies are naturally curious and alert. They can be considered lively but not highly energetic, so routine moderate exercise should be enough to keep them happy and healthy. Daily walks are generally enough to fulfill the Westie's exercise needs. However, every dog is different. If your Westie seems restless or bored, begins acting out, or becomes overweight, you may need to increase the exercise you provide.
It is important to keep a Westie on a leash for walks as they have a high prey drive and will run after anything that moves. Keep that in mind when providing a fenced outdoor area as well. Westies are best kept indoors when you are away from home and they do well with crate training. They are fairly low-energy indoors.
Terriers are generally smart dogs that enjoy learning and crave structure. The Westie is intelligent and motivated, so proper training is highly beneficial as well as necessary. A well-trained and socialized Westie is more likely to stay focused on you and be well-behaved in public places (and will, therefore, be more welcome).
Westies do well in multiple-pet households and will usually get along well with other dogs and can adapt to cats. But a Westie will naturally pursue small animals such as gerbils and guinea pigs, so you will need to keep any such pets separate from a Westie.
Compared with many small dogs, a Westie does better with you being away from home during the workday without separation anxiety. They are not typically a lap dog but want to be monitoring the area and playing games.
Terriers often like to dig, which can be a problem for your garden and potted plants. You can train your Westie not to dig by being consistent in redirecting him from an early age.
Barking can be a problem as your Westie will alert you to every passerby and moving bug. If you are diligent, you can train them to just bark once.
Common Health Problems
Responsible breeders strive to maintain the highest breed standards as established by kennel clubs like the AKC. Dogs bred by these standards are less likely to inherit health conditions. However, some hereditary health problems can occur in the breed. Westie jaw, or craniomandibular osteopathy, is caused by a recessive gene and leads to problems in chewing and swallowing. Some cases are able to be treated with anti-inflammatory medications but others are too severe and painful.
The following are some other conditions to be aware of:
Diet and Nutrition
Westies are best fed two meals a day for a total of 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups of dry food, depending on their size and activity level. Always make sure that they have clean, fresh water for drinking.
Be sure to monitor your dog for weight gain to prevent obesity. Diet needs, including the amount and frequency you feed them, will change over time as they age. Work with your veterinarian to figure out an individualized diet plan for your dog.
More Dog Breeds and Further Research
As with any breed, if you think the West Highland white terrier is right for you, be sure to do plenty of research before obtaining one. Talk to veterinarians, pet professionals, other Westie owners, reputable breeders, and Westie rescue groups to learn more.
If you're interested in similar breeds, look into these to compare the pros and cons:
There's a whole world of dog breeds out there for you to research to find the right one.

The Pats opened the scoring just 37 seconds in when Robbie Holmes scored his 10th on a shot from the right circle.
Early in the third, Jake Leschsyhyn made it 2-0 with his 13th of the year and then Bryan Lockner added to the lead with his seventh and it was a 3-0 game.
The Raiders pulled their goalie with just under seven minutes left and that's when Leschyshyn would score his second of the contest and it was 4-0 Regina.
The Raiders got one back with a five on three powerplay with three minutes left but the Pats came away with the 4-1 victory.
Regina outshot Prince Albert 39-29 in the win, the powerplay was oh for six and the penalty kill five for six. Leschsyhyn led the way with three points, Cole Dubinsky picked up his first ever WHL point with an assist and Tyler Brown was solid making 28 saves.
Quick Hits
- Cole Dubinsky picked up his first WHL point with an assist in the third.

CFW offers a range of single and double inlet backward-curved fans. Available in light-duty and heavy-duty models, they are suitable for a wide variety of air conditioning and industrial applications. These fans can achieve a high static pressure efficiency (89%). They are suitable for clean air and light pneumatic conveying applications with a temperature capability of up to 550 °C.
This range of fans is characterised by high efficiencies, low noise levels, and low discharge velocities. It is suitable for clean air applications requiring volumes of up to 130 m³/s and pressures up to 4 kPa. The non-overloading characteristic of these fans makes them the obvious choice where system resistance may vary considerably.
Backward-curved fans are used in the following applications:
- Light pneumatic conveying
- Grain aeration and cooling
- Commercial crop drying (e.g. nuts)
The double inlet range (BCC DIDW) is also available in a light duty (class 1) option where the impeller, shaft and bearings remain "heavy duty" but the casing and support frame are constructed of lighter materials.

Some Thoughts on the Max Middle Sound Project in the Test Reading Series 25 October 2007
Two weeks ago now, we performed in Toronto's Test Reading Series, a series graciously curated and hosted by the able Mark Truscott. This is the note that appears for the Max Middle Sound Project on Test's web site save for a one word revision:
the Max Middle Sound Project presents a dryer, drummer, bubble wrap beats, an electric razor, a compact vacuum cleaner, polished halos. all donated anonymously. a composting demonstration. perfected composition lessons. questions aerated. form without detectable odour. absence of live materials. worms employed after. confessions. on tape. machinery without noise. listening to listen. with music, noise, oysters. body percussion. live frying. l'oignon fait la force. chanting between breaths. several varieties of potato & apple. with the lights on 'Peter Piper & the Fiery Fireflies', The Progress Egarag Hguanavak begins.
It wasn't quite like that though the acoustic environment was close to ideal for the performance, no microphones required! The floor space worked well with one half of the gallery taken up with a car chassis converted into a quadracycle: four seats, freewheels & chains; the other half of the room housed the audience. Apparently, they'd opened the exhibition of the quadracycle work by biking it down Queen Street that afternoon & they were ticketed. Seems the authorities didn't have sufficient humour to let it pass. The artwork the car chassis represents is titled Shared Propulsion Car & the artist is Michel de Broin.
We were able to move about the room easily as we read. This performance was the result of working on our repertoire & investigating new reading strategies & that has led to some successful developments in the performance practice. The group has been through several recent transformations. Anne Davison made a huge contribution to the ensemble but now she has left Ottawa to set up home in rural Nova Scotia, our great loss. In our current incarnation, it appears that John & me performing as a duo works extremely well. Lavery is a very adept reader & musician; I've learnt a lot from him & he's added incalculably to the project's performance practice. It's been a lot fun working with him; you know, like, usually we laugh at the same jokes... He's not only a very smart cookie but he is the clean feller.
Trevor Joyce arrived in time to see us perform fresh off an airplane. He read in the 2nd half of the evening's program after a short break. By the time the q&a rolled around after Trevor's reading, I was beginning to atrophy. It had been a long day of travel & preparation for the performance. Think I said somethings that were funny during the q&a; seem to recall people laughing. Believe I said something about collaboration being good for you & something about apples. There was commentary about "sensuality" (which turned into) "embodiment" & mention of an Abram quote from Trevor's Test note: "Genuine art, we might say, is simply human creation that does not stifle the nonhuman element but, rather, allows whatever is Other in the materials to continue to live and breathe." The commenter referred to the sound project performance as an embodied one.
I was delighted to meet in the person for the first time Jordan Scott, Kate Sutherland, Jenny Sampirisi & Aaron Tucker. It was great to see Shannon Maguire who I first met at & haven't seen since the Shift & Switch launch in Montreal on 14 January 2006. Also was pleased to see Paul Dutton again; before the performance, Paul told Lavery & me an anecdote involving him, John Newlove & David McFadden. Saw John Barlow far too briefly; met John for the first time in person at last summer's Scream main stage event in High Park. I know John's email persona from the Riverspine & Mailsnail email lists. It was great to see Daniel Tysdal who was in Ottawa the Sunday before reading from The Next Big Advertising Breakthrough Using a Potentially Dangerous Method as part of the ReLit 2007 awards ceremony held as part of the Ottawa International Writers Festival. It was great to see Rob Read again. It was excellent meeting Camille Martin who is guest hosting CKLN's 'In Other Words'. Also excellent to meet & be hosted by Dave Dyment of Mercer Union, the artist run centre where Test takes place. I talked to Sam Kaufman who joked that our 'Moon Potatoes' piece sounded like a minimalist version of Moby Dick as a result of the book being fed through a computer program to extract the words ending in -ip, -it, -ish. A very pleasant Rebecca was in attendance & had lots to say about ours & Trevor's readings.
Mark Truscott & Lisa Heggum's four month old son Sam was in attendance for his second Test reading. He was quiet for the whole event save for one brief & very tasteful outblurt.

The A B Series #3
14 November 2007
Ottawa launch for Booty: Hurricane Jane and Typhoon Mary published by the Mercury Press [http://www.themercurypress.ca/]
Readings by authors Brea Burton and Jill Hartman
SPECIAL VENUE: The Avant-Garde Bar at 135 1/2 Besserer Street [downtown Ottawa]
Booty: Hurricane Jane and Typhoon Mary
In disjunctive treatments of popular slang and unpopular attitudes, Calgary collaborators Brea Burton and Jill Hartman take on gendered sexuality, reconsidering the sensual, the physical, and the feminine in colloquial language. Riding the wave of burlesque and piracy, this sexually-charged poetry is booty call — and response. Jane and Mary play woman as force of nature until it is played out — encountering gendered slang and violently sexualized language, Hartman and Burton dance around it then run it through with a very pretty cutlass.
Originally from Edmonton, BREA BURTON moved to Calgary to seek her fortune. Instead of the ocean, she found the Calgary writing community, which turned out to be just as salty and fluid. She has participated in numerous literary events, produced a few chapbooks, and finished her MA in contemporary Canadian literature. Calgary poet JILL HARTMAN performs sleight of tongue across Canada, and her writing's appeared in the anthologies Post-Prairie: An Anthology of New Poetry (Talonbooks, 2005) and Shift & Switch: New Canadian Poetry (The Mercury Press, 2005). Her first book of poetry, A Painted Elephant (Coach House Books, 2003), was shortlisted for both the Stephansson and Lampert Awards.
More readings to follow in December 2007 and early in 2008.

Many thanks to the City of Ottawa for their generosity in providing a venue for The A B Series.

In St Catharines at the Grey Borders Reading Series, Gregory Betts read several Lawren Harris poems in between sets. Before the reading over dinner we were discussing the notion of the avant-garde. Greg's argument being that it has traditionally been centred around the idea of progress; the idea that revolutionary change is necessary & important, a theme that identifies avant-gardists be they surrealists, situationists or Lawren Harris...
Speaking of apples: Jordan Fry read a Jonathan Ball poem with mention of apples -- during the open set after we'd read a piece having to do with apples as part of the Max Middle Sound Project performance that evening. The next day after we saw Anne Davison off on the bus, John Lavery & I went to a graveyard that was the site of the first apple orchard planted in the Niagara region by a man by the name of MacMickley. It was thanks to Andrew at the Niagara Falls Public Library that we were informed of the existence of such a site.
Upon returning to Ottawa, I attended Monty Reid's birthday party, which was a blast. A highlight was hearing Monty & John Lavery play Gordon Lightfoot's 'Early Morning Rain' on guitars.
I've been very busy & largely offline since returning from the trip earlier this month; means I haven't been the best correspondent or blogger.
Heard about bill bissett being sampled by The Chemical Brothers on their latest album? bill's contribution has been widely noted in the international media. I saw one article from India. Here's a link for one from New Zealand:
Hoping the Holy Beep fundraiser went off well in Calgary. I've yet to hear any reports about it or Messagio Galore take III, the latter which took place in Calgary with readers, jwcurryPeter Norman, Ross Priddle & Laurie Fuhr. How did it go? I'm off blissfully in the middle of nowhere so haven't been paying much attention to things internet.

Simplex 17
On December 7, 2005 derek beaulieu sent the following invitation:
"this is an invitation to participate in a collaborative / constraint-based concrete poetry portfolio. Letraset was created as a business tool for the standardization of lettering in technical drawings and blueprints. Although it has fallen out of favour due to the proliferation of computers in technical drawing, letraset continues to be used in concrete poetry. By assigning the same material to a variety of international concrete poets and artists, this project examines how content and form interplay in concrete poetry, and will be an insight in to the malleability of language and materiality through different visual compositional structures and styles."
Seventeen poets and artists agreed to participate. Each received a full sheet of Simplex letraset dry-transfer lettering (every participant received the same typeface, although the size of the face varied due to difficulties i had in finding enough sheets) and were restricted to using only the material supplied (i.e.: no additional materials), and responses had to fit on a single sheet of 8 ½" x 11" (or A4 if international) paper.
Simplex 17 contains work by: Bruce Andrews, Jonathan Ball, John M. Bennett, Christian Bök, Nicole Burisch, Jason Christie, Craig Dworkin, Geoffrey Hlibchuk, Matthew Hollett, Frances Kruk, Donato Mancini, Billy Mavreas, kevin mcpherson-eckhoff, Max Middle, Rob Read, Pete Spence, Dan Waber
Unfortunately, the portfolio is out of print. It was published in an edition of 60 copies, 20 of which were for sale.

The Four Horsemen Project
The piece that initially captured co-creators Kate Alton and Ross Manson's imagination was 'Allegro 108' which they heard on Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe on CBC Radio in 2000. I was listening to the same broadcast in Edmonton (guess I would have heard it a couple hours later with the time difference). It's a highlight in the performance - clearly a virtuoso thing to perform with the memorized reading coordinated with some pretty sophisticated movement. "The arrangement is the Four Horsemen's, with a few custom tailorings by us [the Volcano theatre company] and musician Bill Brennan - who helped decode the original recording." from the program for The Four Horsemen Project, 13 March - 1 April 2007 at the Great Canadian Theatre Company
After seeing the production, many avenues of thot have been opened - new knowledge about the Four Horsemen, ideas about how to conduct sound poetry performance (alas, not on the same scale, ah budgets).
If they come to your town, go see them! I believe they'll be performing in Victoria and Vancouver later this year - check in on volcano.ca for details.
In the meantime, have a listen to the 4H recordings on PENNsound:
It's excellent that the recordings of the Four Horsemen are available on PENNsound and Ubu Web. It may eventually be possible to hear, over the Internet, a recording or two by the canuck soundpo ensemble of the same era, Owen Sound.
John Sobol happened to be there the same evening according to his blog. I've never met John - hence I didnt recognize him in the crowd. Here's a link to his post about the show:

The hosting to be done by Stephen Brockwell, David O'Meara and Alan Neal will surely add an extra element of excellence to the Poetry Cabarets.

On June 26th, as part of the Tree Reading Series we'll be launching the tour with an outdoor performance in the Tin House Courtyard (in between Clarence & Murray just off Sussex) in Ottawa's Byward Market at 8pm.

Upcoming Readings + Writers Fest
Shane Rhodes will be launching his third poetry collection The Bindery on April 14th as part of the recently (Roy Miki on March 18th) launched spring schedule in the Plan 99 Reading Series at the Manx in Ottawa.

Readings and book launches by Mark Frutkin, Ian Roy and Joanne Proulx are scheduled later in the spring. More info about Plan 99 can be found on the Ottawa Poetry Newsletter.
The Ottawa International Writers Festival is gearing up for what looks like a very exciting schedule. David Suzuki is set to speak on Earth Day, April 22nd. The full schedule is to be released fairly soon. The first day of the festival, April 15th includes a Poetry Cabaret with George Bowering, rob mclennan and George Murray. More on that event can be found on rob's blog. Apparently, there'll be a film screened about Ottawa poets at some point during the fest, hmm.

How the Readings Went
Arrived just in time to hear most of Hugh's reading - to my surprise since I was slated to read before him & Sandra had already finished her reading. Was glad to have been there to hear Hugh read - hope to hear Sandra read again soon.
I've been enjoying reading Hugh's chapbook Joyce's Walking Stick. The naive translations suggest a form of universal linguistic communion rendered in English. In some of the poems, I get the sense of the mundane, familiar conversational statements, becoming highly aestheticized by their transformation into something ambiguous as in the opening poem: "I do not understand you/(because I do not speak Japanese)./This is a beautiful city."
It meant that I read last, which was somewhat awkward: tho in the end as the ender, it seemed appropriate for us locals to support as sandwich material both sides of Hugh's reading. Some excellent folks, who happen to be related, arrived soon into my reading. It was great that they were able to be there for some of my reading & then hear Hugh read as he gave an impromptu post-reading reading at table side. We should have asked Sandra if she would have given a brief post-reading reading tho it seems likely & hopeful that she'll be reading again soon in this here Ottawa... & there was supposed to be a great, big old fashioned musical jamboree afterwards but only one of the jammers showed up.

MAY 19 - Raising taxes on tobacco products is the focus of the 2014 World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) on May 31st. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that increasing taxes is the most cost-effective way to reduce tobacco use.
"The specific goals of World No Tobacco Day 2014 are that governments increase taxes on tobacco to levels that reduce tobacco consumption," explained Susan Pulaski, Community Health Coordinator for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. "Raising the tax on tobacco in Michigan would reduce smoking rates, prevent children from becoming tobacco users, raise revenue for our state, and provide Michigan with significant savings in health care costs."
Michigan is among four states ranking 12th in the U.S. with a cigarette tax of $2.00 per pack. It has been 10 years since Michigan raised its cigarette tax. Research indicates that raising the tax on cigarettes to $3.00 per pack would decrease the prevalence of adult smoking, and could reduce youth smoking by as much as 21%. State revenues could increase by $200 million annually. Increasing the tax on other tobacco products would raise additional revenue.
The international WNTD movement was initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1987. During 2010 alone, the tobacco industry spent nearly $8.5 billion to market its products in the United States, and more than $250 million of that was spent in Michigan.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more information about the Tobacco Reduction Coalition and Tobacco-Free Parks and Beach policies, contact Susan Pulaski at (231) 347-5813. For free help in quitting tobacco, contact Michigan Tobacco Quitline at (800) 784-8669 or (800) QUIT-NOW. For more information about World No Tobacco Day, visit http://www.who.int/tobacco/wntd/en.

Jorge Gilberto Ramos Ávalos (Spanish pronunciation: ; born March 16, 1958) is a fall of the Berlin Wall[4] to the War in Afghanistan.[5]
Ramos has won eight Emmy Awards and the Maria Moors Cabot Prize for excellence in journalism.[6][7] He has also been included on Time magazine's list of "The World's Most Influential People".[8]

Early life
Jorge Gilberto Ramos Ávalos was born March 16, 1958 in Mexico City, Mexico,[4][9] to a Roman Catholic family,[10] and was raised in the Bosques de Echegaray neighborhood of Naucalpan, a suburb of Mexico City. He attended the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City where he majored in communications.[11]
Ramos worked for Grupo Televisa's flagship XEW-TV in Mexico City for the network's local version of 60 Minutes. At the age of 24, he quit that job after a story he produced that was critical of Mexico's government was censored.[11] In 1983, he left Mexico on a student visa for Los Angeles, California, where he planned to enroll in the UCLA Extension's journalism classes. In 1984, he was hired by KMEX-TV, an affiliate of what was then the Spanish International Network in Los Angeles, which operated on a shoestring budget in a run-down facility on Melrose Avenue. At KMEX, Ramos felt he could express himself freely: "To me it was a palace....the United States gave me opportunities that my country of origin could not: freedom of the press and complete freedom of expression."[12] Two years later, he became the host for KMEX's morning program, Mundo Latino.[11] Ramos then joined SIN's national operation in 1985, a year before the network was placed under new ownership under the new branding of the Univision network, which has a broad entertainment and news-sharing agreement with Televisa.
Since 1986, Ramos has been the anchorman for Fusion TV.[13]
In 1989, as he watched the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ramos remembered thinking, "This is why I am what I am!"[4] Other world events he covered include the Salvadoran Civil War, the Persian Gulf War,[14] the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.[6] During the United States' War in Afghanistan, Ramos traveled there on his own while on vacation because his network refused to send him.[4][5] Throughout his career he has covered five wars.[6]
As of 2014, his Univision news shows regularly beat their English language competition among young viewers.[13] He has interviewed multiple world leaders including Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez.[14]
Ramos also writes a bilingual newspaper column that is published internationally, and appears regularly as a pundit on English-language cable networks, like CNN and MSNBC. Polls among American Latinos rank him as the most trusted and influential Hispanic in America, surpassing all other political leaders, and his Q Score among Latino audiences places him between footballer Lionel Messi and pop singer Shakira.[13]
In 2002, he founded Despierta Leyendo (Wake Up Reading), the first book club in the history of Spanish-language television.[15]
On February 21, 2008, he represented Univision in a Democratic debate between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on The University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas.[16][17]
In 2012, Ramos, critical of the lack of Latino moderators in any of the U.S. Presidential debates, complained that the debate commission was "stuck in the 1950s". When Univision held its own forums with candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Ramos challenged both on their immigration policies, specifically Romney's "self-deportation" policy, which Ramos considered an insult to Latinos, and Obama's deportation of more than 1.4 million people, and his reneging on his promise to address immigration during his first term. Washington Monthly named Ramos the broadcaster who would most determine the 2012 Presidential election. Ramos' increased notability, however, led to criticism of his advocacy approach. To this Ramos has stated, "Our position is clearly pro-Latino or pro-immigrant ... We are simply being the voice of those who don't have a voice."[12]
In 2015, after Donald Trump became a Presidential candidate, Ramos pursued an interview with Trump for months. When he sent Trump a handwritten request in June, Trump, who had filed a lawsuit against Univision over its decision to drop the Miss Universe pageant following the candidate's comments about Mexican immigrants, posted Ramos' letter on Instagram, which exposed Ramos' cell phone number. Trump later deleted the post.[1]
At an August 25, 2015 news conference held in Dubuque, Iowa by Trump, Ramos, after attempting to question Trump about his immigration policies without being called on, was rebuffed by Trump. Trump repeatedly told Ramos to sit down and remarked "Go back to Univision." Security then escorted Ramos out of the conference. About 15 minutes later, Trump allowed Ramos to return to the conference, where he and Trump engaged in a heated exchange on the issue. Trump later explained that he had not called on Ramos for a question, as he had called on another reporter in the audience. Ramos accused Trump of "spreading hate" with his calls for mass deportations of undocumented families, and repealing birthright citizenship granted by the U.S. Constitution, and questioned the feasibility of Trump's proposals. He also questioned Trump's viability as a candidate among Latino voters, citing a poll indicating that 75% of those voters held unfavorable opinions of him.[18][19][20]
Personal life
Ramos earned a master's degree in international studies at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida. In 2008, Ramos became a United States citizen.[12]
Ramos has been married twice. His first wife was Gina Montaner, daughter of exiled Cuban author Carlos Alberto Montaner. They had one daughter, Paola (born 1988).[21][22] In 1992, he married Lisa Bolivar in a Roman Catholic ceremony at the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[23][24] They had one son, Nicolas, and divorced in 2005.[25] He dated Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera[11] and since 2011, he has been in relationship with Venezuelan TV host and actress, Chiquinquirá Delgado,[25][26] who has two daughters from previous relationships.[25] He lives in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.[27]
Although born Roman Catholic, Ramos is an atheist,[28] and criticized Pope Francis for presiding over the canonization of Pope John Paul II, who he believes willingly covered up abuses committed by Catholic priests.[29] On being both Mexican and American, Ramos stated: "I finally recognized that I cannot be defined by one country. I am from both countries. It took me many years to make peace with that thought, and that I was never going back to Mexico."[12]
Ramos is registered as an independent voter.[13]
Ramos disclosed in June 2015 that his daughter, Paola Ramos, is working for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.[30]
Awards and accolades
Jorge Ramos has won eight Emmy Awards and the Maria Moors Cabot Prize for excellence in journalism.[6][7]
In 2015, Ramos was one of five people selected for Time 's feature "The World's Most Influential People".[8]

hi there ewan mcgregor rules in my world-tori পোষ্ট হয়েছে ·8 মাস আগে

|আরো ewan mcgregor উত্তর >>
Actor Ewan McGregor is urging অনুরাগী to raise funds for a hospice in his native Scotland দ্বারা downloading a charity বড়দিন song penned দ্বারা a paralysed boy.
The Big মাছ তারকা has praised the youngster for his vivid imagination and the lengths he went to to pen a story titled The বড়দিন Gibbons, which was then set to সঙ্গীত দ্বারা family friends.
Adam Bojelian, 12, from Edinburgh, Scotland suffers from cerebral palsy, a condition that causes physical disability, and হারিয়ে গেছে all movement at the age of 10 months. He can only communicate দ্বারা blinking and composed the poem with the...
What do আপনি know now that আপনি didn't know in your 20s?
"I know that it's important to remain active no matter what. I think we take that for granted when we're younger, but when we get a little older আপনি have to make plans to move.
"I'm quite an active person, but sometimes I'm in towns where আপনি don't have a place to move, so it's easy to think, 'Forget it.' I know আপনি can never do that. আপনি can walk miles around any city. আপনি can walk hundreds of miles, and it keeps আপনি healthy and feeling great.
The Asian tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004, killed almost a quarter-million people in 14 countries. The scale and speed of the devastation defy comprehension, and no movie could be expected to convey the full measure of the horror. But disaster, real and imagined, is a staple of the modern cinematic imagination, and an event like the tsunami presents itself to an ambitious filmmaker as both a technical challenge and a moral risk.
"The Impossible," the সেকেন্ড feature from the Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, uses digital imagery, meticulous sound নকশা and tried-and-true editing...
The Thai crew working on tsunami film The Impossible initially feared the production was "cursed" and performed a ritual to improve their luck, according to actor Ewan McGregor.
The new drama chronicles the story of a family's survival in the aftermath of the horrific Indian Ocean tidal wave that killed আরো than 230,000 people on December 26th, 2004.
McGregor travelled to Thailand to shoot scenes on location and admits bouts of bad weather prompted fears among locals that the project was doomed.
If আপনি want to send him a letter we suggest আপনি write to his agency:
Ewan McGregor
c/o PFD
Drury House
34-43 Russell Street
Here's what অনুরাগী ব্যক্ত that tried this address:
Annie: "I have tried the অনুরাগী mail address before with তারকা Wars trading cads included and he signed them and sent them back. It took about a মাস অথবা so."
Tammy: "I sent a অনুরাগী letter to the address আপনি তালিকা and I received a pic with an autograph on it today. It took about 30-32 days for something to come back. Cute...
May 12, 2009 1:00 a.m.
While sitting atop the Castel Saint Angelo in Rome waiting to interview দেবদূত & Demons তারকা Ewan McGregor, I had a panoramic view of the city and the beautiful chaos that makes life in the Eternal City tick.
The traffic is crazy and there are people everywhere. It's an intense place, even আরো so, I imagined, if আপনি were shooting a big budget Hollywood picture that takes place in some of the city's busiest spots.
|একটি প্রবন্ধ দিন >>
"I would totally do it, of course, but there's no plans as such to do it, as far as I know. I've been asked this প্রশ্ন for years and years. I'd be happy to do it. I've answered 'yes'!"
McGregor will play the grown-up version of Nicholson's son, who in the original movie had psychic powers and watched his dad descend into a murderous rage. Doctor Sleep is being directed দ্বারা Mike Flanagan.
e revealed that if he wasn't actor he would be a sculptor… the opening lines to the সেকেন্ড verse of Your Song, the Elton John track which Ewan covered in the incredibly জনপ্রিয় Moulin Rouge.

We first came to Puerto Rico for Thanksgiving five years ago. Silas was five. I needed to get out of town in the worst way for a few days. Way out of town. We came to the Caribe Hilton in San Juan. It was fabulous. It was so fabulous we came back the next year for Thanksgiving and stayed a few days longer than on our first trip.
The third year we decided that, even though we loved the Caribe Hilton, we should try something new. We went to the El Conquistador resort in Fajardo, out on the eastern end of the island. It was a great place and we enjoyed ourselves, but it was just too big a resort for us. You had to walk a long way to get from one activity to the next. You had to catch a boat to get out to the private island beach. It was too much.
Year 4 circumstances prevented us from going to Puerto Rico over Thanksgiving. But as much as we appreciated spending it with our friends the Haags, we couldn't wait to return to "the isle of enchantment." We booked at the Caribe Hilton back in March.
We arrived on Friday afternoon, checked in and headed out for the pool and beach. Alas, the poolside bar is closed for renovations. The lobby restaurant is closed for renovations. We made our way to the towel stand. They were out of towels. We decided to check out the life-size chess board that Silas learned to play on five years ago. It was gone. The whole lawn has been torn up as part of the renovations with construction fences all around. Part of the beach is off limits as part of the renovations. We went to try out the hot-tubs Silas loved so much the first two years. The water was cold.
Yesterday morning, we went to the Palmeras, an in-house restaurant, for breakfast. The service was lousy. It took us 15 minutes to be seated, and another 15 minutes before the waiter even came by to offer us coffee. Whoever was in charge of making sure there were scrambled eggs on the buffet left the pan empty the entire hour we were in the dining room.
It rained on Saturday. We know, it's not the hotel's fault that it rained. We're not holding that against them. As a beach alternative, Silas and I went to check out the game room. It was closed. We went to the front desk to enquire about it. They said, "Yes, it's closed because it's raining." This made no sense to us. The game room is indoors. They handed us a paper with "Rain activities for kids". There was a room upstairs where something was planned every hour. "Fun Beads" and "Survival Spanish Lessons".
"I don't want to do that," Silas said. "That's like school."
"I agree," I said, "It sucks."
A while later we were hanging out in the lobby wondering what to do next. The last two times we were here they had water in the lobby. The water had tropical fruit in it. Fruity water. It was lovely. We went to get fruity water, and it was just plain old ice water.
It's a little thing to complain about the lack of fruity water. I know. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't amount to anything at all. Had we never been here before, we would never have known the difference. We would never have missed the fruity water. But it's the little things that count. All the little things, one after the other, that have disappointed. Corners cut. Service slacked. Anticipated amenities missing.
We are checking out of the Caribe Hilton this morning. We're going across the bay to another hotel for the rest of our week. We've never been to this new hotel before. Brooke's doctor (who is Puerto Rican) recommended it a while ago. We don't know if it will be any better, but since it comes recommended we have reason to hope so. Maybe they don't have fruity water either, but if not at least we won't be saddled with the disappointment of having expected it.

A gem of a website we found while shopping online, iTokri stocks everything from handmade wallets to juttis to stationery.
Love All Things Ethnic? Check Out Itokri For Jewellery, Handloom Fabric &More
What We Love
What we go back to this site is for their vast collection of running fabric. They come in a variety of materials and screen prints and they also have block print and handloom fabric.
Their fabrics are sorted according to the region of India they are sourced from and are quite budget friendly. But even if some fabrics cost more, you can be rest assured about the good quality; the colours are fade resistant.
They deliver promptly and are easily approachable if you have doubts or issues. They also have an enviable collection of silver jewellery.
Who Is It For?
For anyone looking for fine quality and good customer service. It is perfect for anyone from a college student to an ethnic-loving office goer. And most items on the website are unisex, so that's pretty cool.
How Was Your Experience?
The delivery process is very transparent and they update their stock often. We're yet to find something on their website that we dislike.
Check out the running fabrics section. You can get cloth materials as less as 0.5 metre in length.

Fishing was pretty good all around Northwest Michigan over the weekend and it continued into the early part of the week as well.
Anglers found bass, walleyes and panfish all cooperative and were doing well on many different lakes.
The Department of Natural Resources creel census worker Tom Bagwell checked a lot of the folks fishing the Charlevoix Trout Tournament and found that they were catching a lot of lake trout, including many sub-legal fish on Lake Michigan, and a lot of salmon as well. While most of the salmon were small, there were a few fish over 15 pounds.
Tom says Lake Michigan has been productive all the way from Harbor Springs down to Fisherman's Island. While many depths have worked, the best range seems to be between 70-90 feet. Bass are starting to show up around Harbor Springs and small boats and bank fishermen are getting them around the mouth of the Bear River in Petoskey. They are also catching carp, rock bass and channel catfish. Best baits seem to be tube lures, spinners and crawlers.

It's just made me a more happier person and as I get time from my busy schedule, I run back to them. I have my wife who's very supportive and been there throughout. She has blessed me with a baby boy Levi," Paul, who was in India for a performance, told IANS. Paul is popular for chartbusters like "Get busy", "Temperature" and "Rockabye".

I am a fan of a wide variety of music. I am especially fond of music that provides a structure for improvisation and the unexpected results that can arise when musicians allow themselves to explore their instruments without the restrictions that typically more formulaic styles impose. However, I also enjoy music that is incredibly orchestrated and requires exact mechanics and pristine technique. Most of all, I need music to feel generous toward the listener or I lose interest very quickly. Music is a gift. It can change your life if you let it. If you are adventurous and willing to challenge yourself you can find all the treasures of the universe in the mastery of an instrument. Did I mention its a lot of fun? Pick me, you wont be disappointed.+ Read More

Joel & I were co workers at Leaches Music. Joel was guitar teacher, teaching both children & adults. Joel did all things a good guitar teacher does. Teach, inspire & let students know when they do well.
Joel is a great teacher, and has really helped me learn a lot about the guitar. He is very patient and thorough. I never feel rushed or like I'm not learning fast enough. He is not about memorizing songs/riffs, but is all about getting you to develop your own relationship with the guitar and 'listen'. A great experience overall!+ Read More

Robert Moir (Bob) Grieve
Born on the 1st February 1911, Bob was the eldest child and only son of James and Chrissie Grieve. He was the older brother of Ruth who still lives in the village. His father was a monumental sculptor, stone mason and builder, who carried on the business of R & J Grieve (Maxton) Ltd, which his father, Robert, had set up.
Bob attended Maxton Public School and Kelso High School, before leaving to work in the family business
In the winter, he attended classes at the Heriot Watt in Edinburgh, as part of his apprenticeship training. He started his rugby playing at school and joined St Boswells Rugby Club before playing for Kelso. He played for the South of Scotland and the Barbarians as well as Scotland. He was first capped in 1935 when he played against Wales, Ireland and England and also New Zealand who toured that year. That cap was a very special one, as Scotland had not played New Zealand since 1905 and would not play them again until 1954. In 1936 he played against all three Home Countries again. He could not win a cap for playing against the French, because there were no matches between Scotland and France during the years 1932-46.
The war years were spent in the Royal Engineers, when he played for the Army, but as a result of war-time injuries he was no longer able to play when he was demobbed. Thereafter he returned to the family business. Bob retired from the business, which moved to Bowden and then was wound up. After the death of his wife, Bob built a house in the former builder's yard in Maxton, in which he lived for some years. Latterly, Bob's health was not good and he moved, first, into a home at Nenthorn and then down south beside his son, David.
Bob died on 13th August 2000 and is interred in Maxton graveyard.

Andy Murray produced an excellent performance to defeat Novak Djokovic, 6-2 7-5 and inflict the first defeat of 2012 for the Serb. I managed to watch the highlights of the match, which was the first tennis I have managed to properly sit down and watch all week! I thought Murray played well, particularly on the serve and return, but Djokovic was well below his best on this occasion. He made many uncharacteristic-like unforced errors particularly in the latter stages of the first set and when Murray buckled serving for the match at 6-2 5-3, I was surprised he did not seize the opportunity although credit to Murray, he did manage to recover well.
Murray will play Roger Federer in the final as he fended off four set points in the second set of his 7-6 7-6 victory against Juan Martin Del Potro. There were some excellent points during the match (see below) and I must point out that it is great to see such a fast surface in Dubai, which I always feel contributes to more exciting tennis. Del Potro has had an excellent three weeks and is finally starting to produce great results week in, week out and reinvigorate some of the excitement that was created when he won the US Open back in 2009. He is still a little way off challenging the top 4, but he is going in the right direction and will be a threat at Indian Wells and Miami. This will be Federer and Murray's first match since the 2010 ATP World Tour Finals where Federer triumphed 6-4 6-2; however I am predicting that Murray will win the Dubai title in straight sets.
The rally at 2:52 is immense... it would have been even more amazing if it had ended on a winner!
