Just like humans, dogs need to eat food that is rich in nutrients to keep them healthy. In recent years, pet owners have become more conscious about the ingredients that are found in traditional name brand foods. Some of these ingredients can include ground up bone, corn meal, and even chemicals that can be bad for your furry friend when eaten over the long term. Organic dog food is sweeping the pet food market, but is it really better for your best friend? Here are some reasons to consider switching over to organic dog food for a healthier pet. Less Risk Of Negative Reactions Organic dog food does not contain ingredients that can irritate your dog's skin or cause them to deal with allergic reactions. People can experience food allergies, and dogs can too. You may have tried medications from your veterinarian or topical creams to treat an itchy pup, but try switching their diet over to organic food for a month or two and see if the problems start to subside. Good quality organic dog food contains lots of nutrients that can support and build up your dog's immune system so they can fight skin infections and resist allergies much more effectively without the need for over the counter treatments. Healthier Weight Feeding your dog organic food will help keep their weight at a reasonable level. Many processed dog foods contain corn meal that can cause weight gain in dogs. Organic food also has no harmful pesticides to make your dog feel lethargic, thereby increasing their activity level. Food that's free and clear of any chemicals and made from all natural ingredients can help your dog be more active and maintain a healthier weight thanks to the delivery of pure nutrients being delivered into their bloodstream. Wheat is also a common ingredient found in most mass produced dog foods, and wheat can make your dog put on weight even if they eat a normal amount every day. By avoiding corn meal and wheat, your four-legged friend can shed some pounds and be much healthier. Whole Ingredients A good organic dog food brand will provide all kinds of nutritionally packed ingredients. Look for products that contain real meat as the first ingredient. Dogs need the protein from meat to build healthy muscles and stay strong. Some other perks of organic dog food include extra antioxidants and omega fats for a healthier heart and lots of vitamins that dogs need like vitamin C and E. You'll even find some foods that contain real fruits and vegetables so your dog will get all of their nutrients from a completely natural source. If you've considered switching to organic dog food, give it a try and see if your pet's health improves. For more information and options, talk with different dog food suppliers, such as Surrey Meat Packers...read more
If you're a novice dog owner, there are likely a number of things you don't know about training your new pet. Thankfully, there are professionals who can help, but it pays to understand some essential concepts before you take your first foray into dog training. Having the right mindset while training your dog can make all the difference, turning a frustrating day into a learning experience for both owner and animal. Understanding Your Dog While dogs are often remarkably smart animals they lack the capacity to form lasting memories, instead learning by association rather than acquiring new knowledge. This can be to your advantage, as it means that they can be broken of bad habits and helped to develop positive behaviors more readily than people. The keys to either goal are repetition, consistency and, most importantly, not dwelling on failed attempts. Since dogs are incapable of long term memory retention, each new moment is a new opportunity to succeed. Keep this in mind during house training and leash training. Reinforce the positive behavior you want them to demonstrate, and reinforce boundaries that you need them to recognize by using both rewards and discipline to help them form the necessary associations. Anticipate Mistakes When you first bring a new dog home, pay attention to them, watch their body language and behavior. You'll quickly learn to recognize signs that will help you predict the behavior that follows. The sooner you learn to address these behaviors quickly and appropriately, the faster your dog will start displaying positive behaviors. Mistakes and accidents are going to happen, so be prepared for them, and avoid reacting with anger. Your anger will provoke a fear response from your dog, which can be just as undesirable as an aggressive response. Be firm and assertive with corrections, and use a leash to help apply a correction quickly when needed. If you feel yourself growing frustrated, take a few moments before resuming training. Training a dog well can be a very rewarding experience, establishing a rapport and trust between owner and animal. Don't hesitate to acknowledge your own lack of experience though, and seek guidance to ensure that you're attaining the goals and results you're looking for from your dog. Remember, it's an ongoing process, so don't expect perfection after just a few training sessions. If you can remain consistent about enforcing boundaries and rewarding positive behaviors, you'll start seeing the fruits of your...read more
If you have a furry feline in your life, this is sure to be a great addition to your home. Cats are lovable and compassionate creatures that can provide you with a lot of joy. However, there are instances when your pet may get sick and need some professional care. Knowing some signs that indicate your cat needs to visit your local vet may prove helpful in this situation. Sign #1: Vomiting If your cat begins throwing up without stopping, this is an indication that you need to visit the vet. This could be a symptom of an intestinal illness that will require treatment for your cat to get better. Vomiting is also a sign of having a problem with the liver and it's even possible your pet may have swallowed some type of object that should have been avoided. Sign #2: Bleeding Any amount of blood that is coming from your cat should be immediately investigated. This could be a sign of a serious problem that should be diagnosed by a professional and treated quickly. Sign #3: Staggering If your cat is not able to walk or stand up straight, this is an indication of a middle ear infection that should be treated. Other serious problems that could be a result of staggering could be swallowing poisonous products. Sign #4: Breathing problems Difficulty breathing or wheezing is a symptom of asthma, and your cat should be treated for this. Delaying treatment could worsen the problem and make breathing even more difficult for your pet. Sign #5: Blindness It's important to the well-being of your cat to be able to see. This will allow your pet to stay active and get the most out of life in the process. However, an episode of sudden blindness could be a sign of glaucoma, and it must be treated for vision improvement. Sign #6: Problems urinating Cats use the bathroom often, and if yours is having a problem urinating, this could be an indication of a problem. For instance, this could be the result of a urinary tract infection or even something as severe as a blockage. Keeping your cat healthy is important for both of you. Being able to rely on a medical professional as needed is sure to come in handy. Take the time to visit a veterinarian in your area if your cat displays any of the signs that are listed...read more
Flowers add beauty to your home and garden, but for curious cats, they can often lead to illness. Your furry friend probably likes to try to eat any plants or flowers he can get his paws on, and that might mean extra trips to the veterinarian to keep him healthy. Here are a few things you can do to keep your pet safe around flowers. Know Which Flowers and Plants to Avoid Some flowers and plants are poisonous to cats, which means you should avoid having them in your home if at all possible. Knowing which types of plants are poisonous is your first line of defense in keeping your cat safe. Here are some flowers and plants to avoid: Lillies Oleander Azaeleas Rhododendron English Ivy Spanish Thyme Chrysanthemums If you do end up having any of these types of flowers in your home, be sure to keep them on a surface that your cat cant' access. For cats who spend time indoors and outdoors, avoid planting these plants in your flower bed or garden. Look Out for Symptoms If you suspect that your cat has ingested anything that is poisonous, you can look for certain telltale symptoms that signal the need to visit a vet. Some of the symptoms include difficulty breathing, a swollen tongue, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and/or urination, and irregular heartbeat. Be sure to seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms appear. A Word About Lilies Some plants listed above are only mildly poisonous, while others are much more dangerous. Lilies should always be avoided, especially if you can't tell the difference between the different types of lilies. Easter lilies, tiger lilies and several other types are extremely poisonous and are often fatal even with a veterinarian's intervention. Your cat should be seen immediately after ingesting any part of a lily or drinking the water from the vase your flowers are kept in. The faster you seek medical assistance, the less invasive the treatment will be and the more likely it will be to work. Your vet may induce vomiting to get the lily out of the cat's system, or the vet may call for more aggressive steps. When it comes to cats and flowers, it's better to be safe than sorry. Instead of looking for ways to keep dangerous plants and flowers away from your cat, consider purchasing pet-friendly plants. You may even want to grow a few pet-friendly plants, such as catnip or rosemary, to keep your cat healthy and happy. Contact a vet, like Chapel Hill Veterinary Clinic, with any...read more
Do you need to go on a trip without taking your dog with you? The best way to make sure your dog is taken care of while you are away is to enroll him or her in a boarding facility. Find out in this article why a boarding facility is good for dog care when on vacation, as well as what a kennel is estimated to cost. Why Should a Traveler Consider Dog Boarding? A boarding facility is ideal for your dog while you are gone out of town because he or she will have a good time. Some boarding facilities can make sure that your dog is able to play outside for a while each day. You don't have to worry about your pet running away because the play area for the dogs is fenced. He or she will also get to interact with other dogs at the facility. If your dog has a temperament problem, you can request that play time is spent alone, as there will be toys to keep him or her occupied. Another perk that comes with dog boarding is that you have multiple kennel options to choose from. If you want your dog to live in style, you can opt for a luxurious kennel that may be equipped with items that include: Rugs Radio Furniture Television You can also expect your dog to receive healthy meals that can be customized the way you desire. If you don't like what is being served at the boarding facility, you have the option of bringing your own food. Keep in mind that there will already be multiple food options at the boarding facility, so all you have to do is request to see them. Other than food, your pet will receive any medical care that he or she may need while out of your presence, such as the administration of medication. Some locations offer perks to leaving your dog, such as dog grooming by Sitting Pretty Canine Services, and other luxuries to keep your dog clean, happy and healthy while you are gone. What is the Daily Price to Board a Dog? If you are not looking for anything fancy, you can expect to pay a minimum of $12 per day for dog boarding. Boarding your dog in a more luxurious kennel should cost an estimate of $40 per day, but the price can be as much as $110 per day on the highest end of the scale. The overall price will depend on how much your dog weighs. Don't delay enrolling your dog in a boarding facility so you can be prepared when it's time to take your...read more
Adopting a new cat can be a great way of providing yourself with low-maintenance companionship. However, taking care of a cat can be a very stressful experience if you are not sure of what these animals need. Therefore, it is common for new cat owners to have a couple of important questions that they need answered to ensure they are providing their new pet with the best home possible. Is It Better To Feed Your Cat Wet Or Dry Food? There are a seemingly endless number of different brands of pet food that you can feed your cat. However, these types of food are usually classified as either wet or dry, and it is common for new cat owners to be concerned about which is best for their pet. While either food will be fine for your cat, it is important for you to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option. In the wild, cats get most of their water from the prey that they kill and eat, and wet food will do a much better job of simulating this. However, it can pose a disadvantage because the wet food can become trapped between the teeth, which can lead to decay. Dry food, on the other hand, will largely avoid this problem, but your cat may not be getting enough water. You can help offset this problem by placing a bowl of water next to the food or covering the dry food with a gravy that is specially made for cats. Does It Matter What Soap You Use To Clean The Litter Box? Cleaning the cat's litter box is one of the least pleasant aspects of owning a cat, but many new cat owners will make the mistake of using a strongly scented soap when cleaning this box. This may seem like a good way to mask the odor of the litter box, but the smell may be strong enough to be unpleasant to cats' sensitive noses. A better option for controlling the odor around the litter box will be to place a box of baking soda as close to the box as possible to absorb the odors. Also, you can opt for a covered litter box, which will help to keep the odor from it contained. Caring for your new cat does not have to be a stressful or difficult task if you are informed about the needs of these animals. If you have a thorough understanding about the different types of cat food and the best way to control the smell from the litter box, you can avoid some of the more routine issues that new cat owners may struggle to handle. For more information on proper cat care, talk to an animal clinic in...read more
Pet boarding is something that many pet owners consider for times when you may be going on vacation or having family over who may be allergic. If you are considering pet boarding, here are some tips that will help make the experience better for both you and your pet: Read the Facility's Rules: The first thing you want to do is read the rules of the facility. Each facility will require different things in order to board your pet. For example, it may be required that your dog or cat is vaccinated for kennel cough, which is something that is easily spread to pets in confined spaces. You may also be required to be up-to-date on all shots, so be sure that you bring along your pet's health record to show. Request a Single Room: When you visit pet boarding facilities, you want to be sure that you ask about whether or not your pet will be in a single room and if you can request for them to be in one or not. Most likely, you are going to want to choose a facility that allows you to have your pet in a single room, especially if your pet doesn't do well with other animals. This is especially important for cats who tend not to adjust well to new cats in their space. Book Early: Pet boarding facilities are used all the time, especially during the weekends and holidays. If you aren't booking as early as possible, then there is a chance you can end up boarding your pet in a less than desirable pet boarding facility. This can make you highly uncomfortable and anxious to get your pet back after the amount of time that you need to board them. So instead of enjoying your holiday time or time with family, you could very much be highly overwhelmed. ID Your Pet: It's highly recommend that before you board your pet, you have an ID for them. You may even want to consider microchipping. This way, if for some reason your pet were to become missing from the facility, you can be put somewhat at ease knowing they have a collar ID for someone to get in contact with you or a microchip so that you can potentially locate where they are. By following these tips for boarding your pet, you can be put at ease and know that both you and your pet will have a great first-time experience with pet boarding. For professional boarding, contact a company such as O'Sullivan Animal Hospital Pet...read more
Cats can often be difficult pets to keep healthy because they are adept at hiding any issues that they may be having. As a result, you could have a cat that is suffering from various painful and dangerous illnesses but is not showing any obvious signs of his or her discomfort, which can lead to the issues getting worse and causing your cat's quality of life to drop dramatically. A few tips for making sure that your cat is as healthy as possible is to keep track of his or her litter box usage and grooming habits. Litter Box Usage One big thing to keep an eye out for when taking care of a cat is if he or she is not using his or her litter box. In most cases, cats are extremely clean and prefer to simply urinate and defecate in the same area repeatedly. However, there can be a problem if your cat has decided to start relieving himself or herself all over the house. In that situation, the first thing that you will want to do is make sure that the litter box is actually clean because a dirty box can actually drive a cat to relieve himself or herself elsewhere. If the box is perfectly clean, you will want to get him or her to the vet as there may be more dangerous health issues at play. For example, a cat that is not using the litter box may be suffering from an infection or kidney stones. Kidney stones can be especially dangerous if the cat is a male as the stones can potentially be fatal. Grooming Habits Another way to make sure that you cat is as healthy as possible is to pay attention to his or her grooming habits. One of the main things to look out for is the cat focusing all of his or her grooming on a single spot or area, especially if the grooming is starting to make that area lose all of its fur. This can be a sign that you cat has been injured in that area, or that he or she is experiencing skin issues due to an allergy. Both of those situations will require immediate attention from a vet who can prescribe antibiotics for a wound, or allergy medication to deal with skin issues. Speak to your vet or pet care professional like W.A.G.S. Wash and Groom Salon Ltd. in order to discuss the many things that you can do to keep your pet in good health. Pay attention to litter box usage as this can help you identify any potentially fatal issues quickly. In addition, by paying attention to the cat's grooming habits you can potentially discover wounds and allergies if you notice that the cat is grooming one spot...read more
Carbon monoxide poisoning is not exclusive to humans. Dogs can suffer from it and the consequences can be the same. To better protect your pet from the odorless gas, here is what you need to know. What Are the Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning? Since your dog cannot articulate the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning that it will experience after exposure, it is up to you to take notice of its behavior. Carbon monoxide exposure can lead to a range of symptoms, including increased sleepiness, weakness, trouble breathing, and uncoordinated movements. Your dog could also experience seizures. In the event that your dog is being chronically exposed to carbon monoxide, it could suffer from constant nausea, coughing, and flu like symptoms. If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, contact a vet immediately. What Can You Do to Protect Your Dog? During the winter months, it is likely that your dog is spending more time in the home than you are. If your heating system is left running throughout the day, he or she could be exposed to fumes at a higher rate than you would. As a result, it is important that you take precautions to protect your dog. Part of protecting your dog is ensuring that you have carbon monoxide detectors installed. Not only will the detectors help to protect your dog, but also your family. If you do have detectors installed, test them periodically and ensure they are equipped with good batteries. You should also avoid putting your dog in the garage while away from home. Low levels of carbon monoxide, such as those emitted from your vehicles, can also cause your pet to be sick. Ideally, your pet should be left in the home while away. How Can You Help Your Dog Recover? If medical intervention is needed, your dog's vet will prescribe treatment. Once your pet is back home though, it is up to you to help it recover completely. Allow your dog sufficient enough time to recover. Your vet will provide you with a recommendation on how long to allow your dog to rest, but it could be weeks before it is feeling better. Your dog will need plenty of affection during its recovery period. You also need to stay vigilant for signs of a recurrence. If you do notice any of the symptoms returning, contact a vet like Brampton Veterinary Hospital. With time, your dog can recover from the symptoms it has suffered. Work with your vet to ensure your dog is fully...read more
The best kennels will be those facilities that keep your dog safe. Dogs who are boarded must be protected against issues like illnesses and the potential for escape. When touring a kennel, look for the following important safety features. Protection from Illnesses When dogs come in close contact and play with one another, they can easily spread germs. The best kennels will protect against illnesses and health problems like kennel cough, canine parvovirus and parasites. When touring the kennel where you're thinking about boarding your dog, watch for features that can help protect your dog from illnesses: Open, well-ventilated play areas. Poor ventilation breeds germs, so open-air play areas are good for dogs in a kennel. The more time your dog spends out in the open fresh air, the better. Time spent outdoors should include structured exercise as well as free-play. Dogs need between 30 minutes and 2 hours per day of exercise in order to remain healthy and fit. At the kennel, these needs may increase if the new surroundings make the dog feel stressed or anxious. When touring the facility, ask how much time each day your dog will spend in outdoor play areas. Clean living quarters. You shouldn't smell strong odors or see animal fecal matter when you're looking at the animal living quarters. Find out how often the living quarters are cleaned and disinfected (this is not the same process). The cleaning process should include a scrubbing with hot water and soap. Products like bleach have disinfecting characteristics that can protect your dog against germs and illnesses. Bleach left to dry for 10 minutes in a kennel can appropriately disinfect the area. Veterinary services. Find out how the kennel handles veterinary services for the dogs. If the kennel keeps a veterinarian on the premises, ask to see the veterinarian's office and the place where dogs are kept when they're ill. If you can, meet with the veterinarian and ask him or her about the vaccination policies. The most common agents involved in kennel cough are parainfluenza, bordetella and adenovirus-2, and there are vaccines that exist for all three of these viruses. If there is no veterinary office on site, find out how illnesses are typically handled. Security Some dogs are natural escape artists. They like to dig holes, jump fences and make a run for it when an opportunity presents itself. Touring the grounds of the kennel, watch for security measures that will help keep your dog safe. Sturdy fences, security cameras and secure locks are all important features at a kennel. Inquire about security procedures, like what measures are taken to prevent dogs from leaving the property, and what happens if a dog leaves the grounds on his or her own. While touring the grounds, pay close attention to the level of supervision each dog receives. How much one-on-one attention do dogs receive? When dogs play together in groups, how many employees accompany each group? How small are the groups? There is no hard and fast number that determines what the employee-to-dog ratio should be when dog groups are interacting. Ask to watch a group in action so you decide for yourself whether or not each dog is getting adequate supervision. Most important is that you should feel comfortable when putting your dog in a boarding situation. After you tour the facilities, you should...read more

Re: how do you log out of the playstore/market??
With a hand-me-down phone, it would be best to just do a factory reset so you can start from scratch. Should be somewhere under Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset
If you don't want to do that though, I don't remember exactly how to delete a Google account on your version of Android, but it should be under Settings > Accounts somewhere.

What happened to songwriting? As a folk-rock combo, you'd expect The Avett Brothers to wield a decent lyric, but save for the opening "The Once and Future Carpenter", about a woodworker who abandons his trade to wander, this second album is pretty dismal fare.
In songs such as "Live and Die" and "Pretty Girl from Michigan", lines don't connect, they just follow one another like bricks in a wall, a series of phrases rather than a song with a point. Elsewhere, "Winter in My Heart" takes a single metaphor and drags it out endlessly, while the platitudes of "Life" don't even reach the level of a half-baked homily. It's all set to a bland blend of banjos and fiddles with occasional poignant horns. Shameless Mumfordry with few redeeming characteristics.

Members of Campbellsville's Trail Town Committee and others conducted a "walkability study" of the city and county on Monday, Oct 7.
According to Trail Town Committee member Jackie Hodges, the study is to ascertain how walkable the city is. Hodges said they walked downtown Campbellsville as well as the adjacent area.
Campbellsville University students looked at several different local and area job prospects during Wednesday afternoon's biannual job fair.
"Students are talking to would-be employers. HR folks as well as industry leaders are here today talking with potential career seekers," said CU Vice President for Communications Keith Spears. "It's a great opportunity."
Fallen Campbellsville Fire & Rescue Capt. Tony Grider's memory lives on in the hearts of those who knew him but now there is another outlet to keep his memory alive.
The book "With You All The Time" is a compilation of stories inspired by Tony. The book is authored by friends, family and loved ones.
Tony passed away in 2014 after being injured in the line of duty while helping a group of students at Campbellsville University perform the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
A Campbellsville attorney was arrested Wednesday morning for allegedly stealing more than $200,000 from a client.
The Kentucky State Police arrested Danny Perkins Butler, 70, at approximately 10:12 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at his home in the 500 block of Hyde Park Road in Campbellsville, a KSP report stated.
Campbellsville University will once again serve as the community's relay station for the Operation Christmas Child effort.
OCC is a nationwide effort, coordinated through Samaritan's Purse, to give packed shoeboxes of gifts, toiletries and school supplies to impoverished children in several countries around the globe and to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to chil dren in need around the world. The CU collection station opens Monday, Nov. 14, and will stay open through next Monday, Nov. 21.
The Taylor County Board of Education received a clean bill of health from its auditor's report during Tuesday's meeting. Jeff Sprowles of Wise, Buckner, Sprowles & Associates presented the auditor's report.
"Clean opinion, good numbers. The district's done well this past year," Sprowles said.
Superintendent Roger Cook said that they "work hard and are frugal with our taxpayers' money."
There will be three new faces on the Campbellsville City Council come January.
Alexander Shively, Jay Eastridge and Diane Ford-Benningfield will join the Campbellsville City Council, while Council members Frankie Hansford and Stan McKinney will depart.
Eastridge received the most votes, with 2,173, and will be Mayor Pro Tempore. Two of the other challengers, Ford-Benningfield and Shively, received 1,298 and 1,268 votes, respectively. The other two challengers, Lucy Cox and Henry Goff, received 1,260 and 1,139 votes, respectively, and will not be on the council.
Campbellsville could see as many as four bars and four liquor stores early next year.
At a Campbellsville City Council meeting on Monday night, Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young said the state could start taking applications for, or even selling, licenses on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
"We're on a strict timeline. We have to have this done by Nov. 28," said Young. "In order to have some kind of regulation, this must be in place by then."
The Taylor County Cooperative Extension Service has added a new agent to their team.
Kara Buck is the new County Extension Agent for Horticulture Education.
Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology and business of growing plants. It includes the cultivation of medicinal plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, algae, flowers and seaweeds, as well as non-food crops such as grass and ornamental trees and plants.

You know what I find fascinating… I go on NASA and they always have sound samples of like, things that you wouldn't expect there to be sound in. The sounds of the universe are much like a lot of the experimental sounds generated here by people. It's quite amazing." -Rent Romus, curator and performer at the New Music Summit.
By Scott Van Velsor
Beware, few souls tread here. The grim reaper of sound lurks in forgotten corners of San Francisco and only the bravest of audiophiles make it out to the tortured landscapes of noise and imagery and raw emotion found in an experimental scene lying violently beneath the surface of this city.
This is music at its most naked. There are no limitations. The only desire of these musicians is to make an impact in your mind and expand our conscious perception of what we think we know about making music. White noise, electronic robots screaming as they are crushed into the amplifier and snatches of dark emotion are commonplace. The purest tones and sweetest springtime lullaby somehow emerge from an amalgamated concoction of electronics, traditional instruments and homemade sound toys. The contradiction between light and dark doesn't exist. This is the avant garde, and nothing is out of bounds.
The Edgetone New Music Summit happening over the next four days in San Francisco and Oakland is the West Coast's contribution to the big wide world of free improvisation, and will blow the back of your sonically conditioned brain into the white acoustic ceiling tiles above your cubicle.
You might be thrilled. You might be chilled. You will be changed.
"This music is known as free improvisation, a music without known structure or mainstream visibility, bold enough to be uncomfortable with itself." –Jack Wright, saxophonist
"We believe that harmony are like the brakes of a bus screeching to a halt, or the sound of a tin can falling down the stairs…melody is a long exhale between the moment you step and the moment you take another step, rhythm is the steady pulse of the ground beneath our feet as it bends and cracks under our weight. To live is be awash in sound. Sound is nature; life, death, and the space were all truth exists. A drop of rain in the gutter is a symphony to the person who listens with an understanding of causality, a love of truth and a belief in the glory and necessity of hearing with the ears located in the soul "
-CJ Borosque
At any rate, these shows start early and are cheap! Ten bucks general admission, five for students.

The Brazilian way to happy hour
After a long day of work all you want is to have some quality relaxing and joyful time. Come and join us for premium hours of happiness!
Galeto's word of mouth
Here's a few words and complements from our clients
The AYCE salad bar/sides were pretty good, however, there were 2 dishes that stood out other than the rest, I could have honestly ate that all night! I will definitely come back soon!
Galeto is amazing! Their food is really fresh and tasteful! Every single time I came the food was always fresh and delicious! My first time going there was exciting as it was my first time at a Brazilian SteakHouse.
All in all, I enjoyed everything there since the service was amazing and so was the food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Brazilian food. The best steakhouse ever!
We did my sons commencement celebration dinner here for 30 people and everyone loved it. The salad is fresh, the salmon was great, the meats are outstanding and the deserts are a great finish.
The service and ambiance was exceptional, the food and cocktails were amazing, will most DEFINITELY be returning. The wait staff was phenomenal once again and the Gauchos were super speedy since we came right in at 5pm for the dinner service.
Some of the best meat I've ever had- it's quite an experience too, with meat of all types (various steaks, pork and chicken) served from a skewer. Good salad bar as well. It's all you can eat but you pay for it too. That said, well worth it.
Ziv Tarsi
Went here for Father's Day celebration and it was wonderful as always. Great ambiance, service out of this world and the selection of meats and extensive salad bar was fantastic.
I took my boyfriend here to celebrate his 31st bday and he loved it! This was our first time going to a rodozio & it was perfect . All of the meat selections were extremely flavorful and superseded my expectations.
The food was very good, for dinner we had so many different types of meat , and it was just endless and delicious. The rice and black bean dish was one of the best I had.

XmlLite Security
This topic describes security issues associated with XmlLite. In addition, it provides some guidance for mitigating security exposure.
The security issues in this topic are not presented in any particular order. All topics are important, and should be addressed.
XML documents may contain Document Type Definitions (DTDs) that can declare general entities that reference other files and URLs. Such entities—and therefore content of the other files and URLs—will be included in the document.
Entities in DTDs pose a serious threat in the form of a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack on the servers that are using XML parsers. Prohibiting DTDs is one way of mitigating potential denial of service attacks. If the XmlReaderProperty_DtdProcessing property is set to
DtdProcessing_Prohibit, IXmlReader will return an error when a DTD is encountered. The reader will move to an error state and no further parsing will be performed. DTDs are prohibited by default.
Another approach for mitigating this threat is to set the XmlReaderProperty_MaxEntityExpansion property. This property has a default value of 100,000. If this is not a large enough limit, you can increase this limit to a value that is suitable to your application.
If you are using DTDs, you should ensure that the DTDs referenced by the XML are loaded from trusted locations, and that the transport between the trusted location and the XmlLite reader is secure.
XML can be vulnerable to cross domain and cross zone attacks, in particular with entity resolution. By default, XmlLite does not resolve external entities. When external entities are not resolved, you are not vulnerable to these types of attacks.
However, you can supply your own class that implements the IXmlResolver interface. When you do so, you should develop your implementation in such a way that cross-domain and cross-zone attacks are avoided. All cross-domain and cross-zone checking must be implemented in the user-supplied entity resolver. User-supplied resolvers should set the base URI as appropriate to ensure that relative URIs for external entities are resolved correctly. Note that XmlLite itself does not use the base URI in any way. It just passes it along to the resolver. The resolving only happens in the user-supplied resolver.
If, instead of writing your own IXmlResolver, you use an existing implementation, it should come from a trusted source.
For an example of how to write an entity resolver, see Reading an XML Document That Resolves External Entities shows. This example entity resolver does not resolve to external URIs. Instead, it shows how to resolve an entity named
date to the current date.
In general, when you pass a string as an argument to a function you do not supply the length of the string. In these cases, it is important that the string be null-terminated. For a small number of functions, such as WriteRaw and WriteRawChars, a length is also passed as an argument to the method. In these cases, the string does not have to be null-terminated.
Long names, large values in spans of text, and large attribute values create memory allocation issues. Without proper mitigation, documents with these characteristics are a threat for denial of service denial of service threats. There are four approaches to mitigation:
You can implement a custom
IMallocimplementation. This implementation could limit allocation of memory to a predetermined specific amount. If you use an
IMallocimplementation from another source, use only an implementation from a trustworthy source. For an example of a limiting
IMallocimplementation, see Reading an XML Document Using a Limiting IMalloc Implementation.
You can set XmlReaderProperty_RandomAccess to
TRUE, which can reduce memory usage. To use this feature, you must supply an
IStreamimplementation that implements the
Seekenables random access.
You can use the chunking programming interface. This allows you to read entity and attribute values in smaller chunks. For more information about chunking, see Read an Xml Document Using Chunking.
You can set up the application environment to limit the amount of memory that the thread can consume.
One possible denial of service attack is when a document is submitted that has excessive depth of hierarchy. If you accept untrusted documents, you can mitigate this attack by limiting the depth of hierarchy. You can limit the depth by setting the XmlReaderProperty_MaxElementDepth property. By default, XmlReaderProperty_MaxElementDepth is set to 256.
Excessively long names can constitute a denial of service attack. If you are parsing untrusted documents, you can mitigate this attack in one of the following ways:
You can provide your own custom
IMallocimplementation, and limit memory usage in it.
You can set up the application environment to limit the amount of memory that the thread can consume.

Process Puzzler: Deal with a Decanter that Can't
Readers recommend ways to save a standing separator.
The process design for the vertical decanter is even less promising. Although the residence time for a 3-ft-diameter decanter is more than sufficient to remove the droplets, the calculated entrainment droplet size is about 2,000 μ. This is not the 100 μ desired and explains why carbon is being rapidly consumed. Carbon columns usually capture droplets in the range of about 30 μ.
There is another reason for reducing the overuse of the activated carbon — disposal: roughly $0.50/lb for transportation (within 200 miles) and $0.60/lb for disposal by drying and incineration via a thermal oxidizer (TOX). Once you factor in the disposal, for this example you're paying $1.60/lb as the true cost of carbon. A more realistic price for activated carbon is about $1.80/lb, including shipping to the site. The final price would then be $2.90/lb. Regeneration is possible and co-generation, typical of a TOX, might reduce costs. Let's reconsider the design again.
With decanters sometimes efficiency can be improved by increasing the diameter or the temperature. However, a quick check with these parameters shows no improvement: the viscosity of the continuous phase, i.e., the light phase, is too high. We need to consider other options.
If you can add a small trace element, perhaps a surfactant that will not contaminate the organic phase or can be separated easily, this might be the direction to go. Anything that reduces the surface tension may be effective.
Do a drain test in the lab. Cut a circular hole in a small container with about 100 ml of the organic phase. The hole should be smooth but sharp, without a nozzle. Measure the time it takes to drain through the hole after adding the chemical or doing whatever you decide to do. You'll want to run a standard first with the untreated organic. If you're making headway, the drain time should decrease.
You must reduce the surface tension of the dispersed light phase. Reducing the aqueous phase by half will cause a phase inversion but this trick won't improve separation of the two phases.

Our hydrogenation system, consisting of a column filled with catalyst, an interchanger and a knockout drum under vacuum (Figure 2), produces excess hydrogen. The drum is meant to separate the hydrogen from the product, which is then pumped to the tank farm. The vacuum pump surges constantly, unable to find a sweet spot. The pump vents to atmosphere perhaps as much as 3 std. ft3/min of hydrogen. Our plant manager wants to know if there's a way to recover the hydrogen and stabilize the level feeding the pump. How can we address this situation? Is there any way to limp along with this process until it's convenient to shut it down?

When God delivers angels
He picks a special few
To guard the cherished child
He sends with love to you.
Rainbows gleam upon the clouds
When such a child arrives,
Whose tenderness and beauty
Will change so many lives.
When God retrieves an angel
For reasons of His own
His goodness and His mercy
Seem distant and unknown.
But paradise is knowing
A child who never grew
Holds tightly to God's fingers
And watches over you

text: The formation of BeauSoleil, one of the best known and most highly respected cajun bands in the world, is due to fiddler Michael Doucet's desire to keep the unique southern Louisiana culture and music from extinction. But while BeauSoleil originated to help preserve his cajun musical heritage, over the years it has also been known for its innovation. They are continually adding spice from other musical genres including jazz and Caribbean. In this way, BeauSoleil keeps the music ... Read more

WPP knows a thing or two about advertising and the group was at it yesterday, seeking to catch the eyes of investors. The company was trumpeting the news that its digital arm had participated in a third round of financing for Leading Smart Holdings, which has a controlling stake in the parent company of Maiozhen Systems. The latter is (we are told) a leading digital advertising measurement company. With expertise in managing big data in China. Phew.
What's the big deal, you might ask. Well, what the announcement did do is provide the company with an opportunity to tout its business in China, one of its fastest-growing markets with revenues of $1.3bn (£850m) in 2012. As WPP's PR people know, mention China and people start seeing dollar signs.
But WPP's operations there and in other fast-growing markets are worth watching. The broker Charles Stanley has highlighted its sector-leading position in emerging markets. There is substance to back up the spin.
Overall the recent full-year results were fine, with steady like-for-like revenue growth (excluding acquisitions) of 2.9 per cent and a 7 per cent rise in operating profit to £1.46bn.
Looking forward, 2013 should look like 2012 when it comes to earnings. The company has been reporting an improvement in confidence among clients, but on the flipside there's a lack of big events this year compared to last year, with the Olympics, the US presidential elections and Uefa's Euro 2012 all at once.
It's next year when things will get interesting again, with US mid-term elections, the World Cup and the Winter Olympics. In the meantime WPP shares have performed creditably, currently trading at a multiple of about 12.5 times this year's forecast earnings, not terribly demanding by WPP standards. The prospective yield (3.2 per cent) is fair enough, but WPP has been talking about increasing its payout.
That's a good thing. Its executives are extraordinarily well rewarded. Time to share things out a bit better, so small investors benefit a bit more.
I don't see the shares doing much from here in the short term. They are probably more or less up with events, and there could be an argument for taking profits. But I'm minded to keep holding for the long term because if the company can keep the momentum going from 2012 during this tougher year, the stock could take off again in 2014.
Elsewhere, the media sector remains a difficult place. The gorilla in the room, as always, is the internet, which makes life challenging for the sector. Daily Mail & General Trust, the owner of the Daily Mail, said in its most recent update that growth in digital ads was offsetting declines in ad revenue from its print edition.
The company has also been buying back shares, has reduced its exposure to the troubled regional newspaper sector, and is primed for new product launches.
If you're one of the many people who find the right-wing politics espoused by its flagship title difficult to stomach, you'll probably not be all that keen on buying the shares even if they were guaranteed goldmines.
And they aren't, at least not at the moment. The shares are starting to look pricey at 13.5 times this year's forecasts, yielding a prospective 2.8 per cent. As recently as November Morgan Stanley set a 545p price target for the shares, which have smashed through that, and gone on to breach 700p. Now would be a good time to take profits.
The Mail group owns a majority stake in Euromoney, which has found the going tough recently as the troubles of the financial services industry have hit growth prospects and ad revenues.
Some conferences and events have been pushed back, and overall revenues are down. Fortunately for Euromoney, subscription revenues have held up.
The last time this column looked at Euromoney was way back in January 2011, when we said hold at 705p. Despite the difficult climate the shares have put on nearly a third since then. Again, now would be an opportune time to take some profit.
Events are a mainstay at UBM, which once owned the Mail's rival the Daily Express. They account for 74 per cent of earnings before interest, tax and amortisation, with a third of that from emerging markets, and revenues rising by 12.8 per cent a year between 2010-2012. But the trouble with events is they are very sensitive to the economy and can easily be put on hold if sponsors start to feel less confident.
UBM has been under something of a cloud, too, since the sale of the Delta data services division at a price that disappointed. That said, the shares have come off more than 10 per cent in the last month and a half. They trade on 12 times this year's forecasts with a 4 per cent yield and it might be worth a punt at this level. But don't bet the farm.

Food brings a lot of memories to most people I am sure and I am no exception: certain dishes remind me of certain people.
I think of my mom whenever I eat or cook fish, for when I was a little girl she would cook it once a week, rain or shine, and would tell me every single time how good it was for the brain. :)
Mom never cooked fish the way I bring you here today, but I am sure she would approve it: the fish gets tender from cooking in this flavorsome sauce, enriched by both sweetness from the fresh tomatoes and a bit of tang from the canned ones. I make this quite regularly for my husband loves it and even though I always, always serve it with rice because of him it would be amazing with couscous, too. Easy, delicious and on the table in less than half an hour.
Easy fish stew
own creation
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow bell pepper (about 200g), deseeded and finely diced
½ onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ripe Italian tomato, deseeded and chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
1/2 can of water
350g white fish, cut into large chunks
handful of fresh cilantro leaves
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat – using a large saucepan is important for it will give you room to stir the fish pieces without breaking them.
Add the pepper and the onion and cook stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the tomato, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and mixture is pulpy. Add the canned tomatoes and the water and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the fish, season with salt and pepper again and cook for 8-10 minutes or just until fish is cooked through. Stir in the cilantro, check the seasoning and serve immediately.

Chickpea and chorizo warm salad and a brain filled with food photos
Usually, when I am very tired – which has been a constant lately, since the last weeks have been really intense at work – I flip through cookbooks, food magazines and take a look at Instagram maybe trying to boost my brain with beautiful food photos (it is either that or watching some episodes of Sex and the City for the fortieth time – that helps a lot, too). :)
That amount of food photos on someone's brain might come in handy: I was taking a look at my fridge to prepare the weekly shopping list when I bumped into half a can of chickpeas – leftovers from a salad I had made on the weekend. Minutes before that I had seen a package of chorizo on my cupboard, and the connection was formed in my head: chickpeas and chorizo with sherry. I just was not sure exactly where I'd seen it – on a cookbook? On a magazine? A food blog? Instagram? All of the above? :) –, so I decided to freestyle and it tasted fabulous. I ate it as a warm salad, but I am sure it would work well as a side dish, too.
Chickpea and chorizo warm salad
own creation, inspired by several recipes
1 teaspoon olive oil
70g diced chorizo
½ large onion, thinly sliced in half-moons
2 garlic cloves, minced
200g cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sherry
handful of fresh parsley leaves
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook it, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Add the onion and cook until onion is tender, stirring occasionally to avoid catching in the bottom of the pan. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the chickpeas, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, for 3 minutes. Stir in the sherry and cook for 2 minutes or until sherry is reduced. Turn off the heat and mix in the parsley. Serve warm.

Chocolate chip, crystallized peel and cranberry cookies + a hug as a gift
As the year started and I got back from my week off, I started working on things around the house, maybe trying to clear my mind as I cleared the cupboards and the closet, I don't know. :)
As I checked the ingredients in my cupboard, I found a bit of crystallized orange peel left from my holiday baking and right next to it I saw a jar of dried cranberries – I immediately thought of putting them together in cookies, and added a bit of dark chocolate for balance. The cookies tasted great and I turned them into a gift for a colleague who is going through hard times now – I hope she felt a bit better with the cookies and the big hug I gave her then.
Chocolate chip, crystallized peel and cranberry cookies
slightly adapted from BBC Good Food
225g all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
150g unsalted butter, room temperature
80g light brown sugar
80g demerara sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
120g dark chocolate chip or chunks
50g crystallized orange peel, chopped
100g dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line two large baking sheets with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars together until creamy and light. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg. On slow speed, beat in the dry ingredients and mix only until incorporate. Stir in the chocolate, crystallized orange peel and cranberries.
Drop 2 leveled tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared pans, 5cm (2in) apart. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until they're golden-brown around the edges. Cool in the pans over a wire rack for 5 minutes, then slide the papers with the cookies onto the rack and cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Really simple brownies - easy, delicious recipe that yields a lot
I had been meaning to make brownies for weeks, but I wanted to try a new recipe instead of going to my usual suspects, Alice Medrich's cocoa brownies. As I flipped through books and magazine pages and browsed around the Internet I found beautiful looking brownies – and you know I am a sucker for beautiful food photos – but as I started reading the recipes I did not feel like making them: I was not in the mood of using 350g of chocolate and 500g of sugar to make a 20cm square brownie pan.
I gave up on the brownies and baked a lemon cake instead. :)
But the brownies got stuck in the back of my brain and I went back to my search, and ended up finding these: easy to make, calling for just a bit of chocolate, yielding a big 20x30cm full of brownies with that crackly, shiny top. I tweaked the recipe just a tiny bit, since I did not have unsweetened chocolate home (I used one with 53% cocoa solids), and the brownies turned out fabulous. I have packaged some for my friends at work and I hope they like them as much as I did.
Really simple brownies
slightly adapted from here
150g dark chocolate, finely chopped or in chips – I used one with 53% cocoa solids
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temperature and chopped
1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup (140g) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
¼ teaspoon table salt
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly butter a 20x30cm (8x12in) metal baking pan, line it with foil leaving an overhang in two opposite sides. Butter the foil as well.
In a large heatproof bowl place chocolate and butter. Melt them over a saucepan of barely simmering water – do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Once the ingredients are melted, remove from the heat and cool. Whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in vanilla.
Stir in the flour, cocoa and salt until a smooth batter forms. Spread onto prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan over a wire rack. Cut into squares to serve.

Honey bee cake - four years later
I have told you already how influenced by beautiful photos I am – if I see a stunning photo of a cake or a pasta dish I instantly add it to my mental to do list and cannot wait to make it. Sometimes that happens within the following weekends, sometimes it takes months, or even years – too many recipes, so little time. :)
This cake, from this gorgeous cookbook, have been on my mind for ages – the photo got stuck in my head when I purchased the book, a long time ago (2012, to be more precise). There were times I felt like baking it but had no honey in the pantry, other times I had no almonds at hand. So here we are, more than four years later, with a cake I could not wait to share with you: tender, perfumed, sweet, delicious – I hope you don't wait as long as I did to make it.
Honey bee cake
slightly adapted from this beautiful cookbook
2 ¼ cups (315g) all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon table salt
¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (200g) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (100g) honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk, room temperature*
½ cup (150g) honey
3 tablespoons (41g) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
½ cup (56g) sliced almonds, toasted and cooled
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Butter a 20cm (8in) round cake pan with a removable bottom or use a springform cake. Line the bottom with a disc of baking paper and butter the paper as well.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, honey and vanilla on low speed until blended. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl down often during the whole process. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yolk.
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl after each addition and do not overmix.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Rap the pan firmly on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes or until cake is golden and risen and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean – it is OK if the surface cracks a little while baking.
When the cake is almost ready, make the glaze: place honey and butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until combined, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture just barely to a simmer. Turn off the heat, whisk in the vanilla and the salt and set aside – it has to be still warm when you pour it over the cake.
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and poke holes all over the cake with a skewer. Pour half of the glaze over the cake, evenly sprinkle the almonds over the cake, then pour the rest of the glaze over the almonds. Place the pan back in the oven for 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Carefully unmold the cake, peel off the paper and transfer to a serving plate.
Cake can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
*homemade buttermilk: to make 1 cup buttermilk place 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a 240ml-capacity measuring cup and complete with whole milk (room temperature). Wait 10 minutes for it to thicken, then use the whole mixture in your recipe

As a small business owner, you have to deal with a lot of different things every day. Having to help your employees navigate their health insurance should not be one of them. Health insurance can get complicated really quick; it is best to have a professional help your employees understand their benefits package. That is why you should enlist the help of a boutique insurance firm to help your business navigate your health insurance.
An insurance firm is not the same thing as an insurance agency or insurance provider. An insurance firm does not provide you with insurance. Instead, they work with you to help you navigate the insurance process. They help you find the right insurance provider. If you are looking for a new health insurance company to work with, an insurance firm will evaluate your current coverage and will help you find coverage that fits your needs and your budget. They will provide you with quotes from multiple medical insurance companies and help you choose the one that is best for your business.
The help that an insurance firm offers does not stop there. After they set you up with a new employee benefits package, they will come to your place of business and explain how the package works to your employees.
