With a recognizable personality and a style of their own, Anna Roig i L'ombre de ton chien have established themselves as a quality proposal characterized by the creation and performance of songs in catalan and french languages.
This band of musicians from the catalan region of Penedès decided to update the french chanson adding their own language (both spoken and musical) to the recipe.
The result of this original proposal is the three albums the band has released with great success in the past five years.
Determined not to get married to a single style, they embrace eclecticism while keeping coherence due to the strong personality of Anna's songwriting.
Anna Roig
Anna, with her almighty voice, is capable of both making you smile or shiver. Author of the songs, she's the voice that leads the group with serenity and simplicity. A single chance to see her on stage is enough to notice her talent.
Magí Batalla
Magí is far from being just the guitar player. He's the one to keep an ear on the songs and their arrangements to make the most out of them. He has produced, recorded and mixed each of the three studio albums of the band and is always looking after everything with great passion.
Carles Munts
Carles Munts, besides being in charge of bass and double bass, is pure enthusiasm and excitement. He brings a touch of freshness and youth to the band with his sensitive and cheerful personality. He is in the heart of the machine, both musically and personally.
Carles Sanz
Carles Sanz is like a great chef who knows how to use the right notes and harmonies so each of the songs can express itself in the best possible way. With a mixture of wisdom and sensitivity, he and his keyboards give the band a perfect balance.
Ricard Parera
Ricard is always joking about drummers not being musicians. True or not, this assumption can't be applied in his case. He is a master of his instrument and knows all its nuances, providing the right energy with delicious care, every time, every beat.

Sophia Pou Has A Post Dancing With The Stars Prima Donna Moment
Sophia Pou was eliminated from Dancing With The Stars last night. She received the second lowest score of the evening and was bottom two with struggling dancer Brendan Jones.
However Brendan a popular radio host in Sydney survived and it was Pou who was sent home.
It appears Pou had a bit of a prima donna moment when it came to fulfilling one of her media commitments as she did not want to be interviewed by her former My Kitchen Rules colleague Matt Newell. Channel 7 informed the 7HO FM breakfast hosts that Sophia was not going to be available to do the interview.
She was interviewed on the other Hobart radio station. Apparently her and Matt clashed when they were on the show.
However Matt has now had his own prima donna moment and is refusing to interview any of the other contestants eliminated from Dancing With The Stars. And yes my eyes are rolling at both of them.

RR, it is Mick and not Matt. I am not surprise with Sophia behaviour.
I think she was shock that the judges didn't like her routine.
So glad that Libby and Jacinta have up their game and dancing better.
I can now enjoy DWTS

Ka-pou Braces 😀
I originally thought Cosentino would be the one to beat this year, then Steve Hooker started to impress. Now I think Rhiannon Fish must surely be the favourite to take the crown.
How good were Justice Crew last night! These amazing young guys won AGT in 2010 as a dance group, but they are seriously good singers too. Fantastic.

Its going to be a close one this season. Last night most of the performances were so enjoyable to watch.

Mick = the Alan Partridge of Tassie radio, without the snazzy sports casual dress sense but quite possibly matching his Norwich counterpart for the halitosis, nervous nasal wheeze and delusional self regard.
- 5 Carole { 10.30.13 at 7:09 pm }
Talk about childish, both of them. I thought it was mandatory when they signed up to do it that they were expected to do any media appearances. I remember last year one of them was hungover and didn't appear on Sunrise. I assumed she would be on the next day, but she wasn't.

Tassie Pops and Braces.
What could possibly go wrong there?

I might now decide to start watching this show, haven't seen any of it so far as I can't stand to see people like that on our screens, I turned off MKR last season because of her. About time the TV execs realised we aren't interested in bad behaviour on our screens.

Is that where you get the 'culinary' ? A name from the missus?

How am I ever going to eat Krispy cream donuts without imagining CB now?

yep, sorry about all the hoopla
- 22 mittens { 11.01.13 at 3:30 pm }

- 23 Culinary Boner { 11.01.13 at 4:05 pm }
mittens she'd improve if she stopped eating the donuts first…
for a game with several extra dimensions in the scoring department, I might have to suggest we invite Tim Robard's over to the boudoir once he's finished gazing meaningfully into the eyes of them models which have been posing as 'legit' reality contestants
- 24 mittens { 11.01.13 at 4:08 pm }

The recent Open Government Partnership (OGP) regional events in Bali and Dublin have provided a fertile opportunity for participating countries to showcase their performance in advancing open data reforms and for newer members to learn from their peers. The positive energy and participation at these events was a reminder of the strides achieved in recognizing the importance of open data as a precondition for better development outcomes. This was particularly relevant in the field of fiscal openness where an increasing number of countries demonstrated how they are taking actions towards improving transparency in financial matters.
The fiscal openness working group (FOWG) - a partnership between the Global Initiative on Fiscal Transparency (GIFT), the OGP Secretariat and the Governments of Brazil and Philippines - – provided a good opportunity to review the results achieved so far. It produced a background paper that reviewed the status of fiscal commitments. The following highlights stood out in helping us gauge the extent to which fiscal transparency principles are being operationalized in the OGP context:
Strong buy-in for need to reform fiscal transparency - A third of all commitments in 41 countries were related to fiscal transparency - led by Mexico and Croatia - thus providing further evidence for the importance of global budget transparency. These included cutting edge practices and innovations such as establishment of multi-stakeholder consultation arrangements (Mexico and Peru), institutionalization of social audits (Philippines) and innovative outreach activities to promote citizen awareness of OGP (Kenya and Tanzania).
Wide variation among action plans – The stocktaking exercise revealed substantial differences in terms of scope and ambition of action plans, as well as differing degrees of institutional ownership, public participation, measurability, innovation, and implementation rates. For instance, only 20% of total provisions were classified as "starred commitments," with the potential of bringing the greatest transformational possibilities. Similarly, public participation processes seemed weak in many places, but with Mexico standing out as a leading innovator in consultation practices and accountability arrangements. Last but not least, implementation rates varied considerably with roughly 25% fully completed and about 50% of total commitments related to fiscal transparency still lagging.
The largest question moving forward is how to best capitalize on the goodwill generated by global partnerships such as the OGP to push the frontiers on fiscal openness, gradually adding more nuanced approaches to further elevate global standards. In this respect, three critical aspects come to mind:
- Data quality – through the work pioneered by the Bank with its BOOST program in improving accessibility and use of budget data, the issue of 'data quality' has gained prominence and visibility in the international community. The work carried out in more than 50 countries highlighted a variety of data integrity red flags ranging from issues of comprehensiveness and granularity to more troubling findings questioning the reliability of fiscal statistics collected and reported through central financial information systems. Given the impact that reliable data has on further use and impact, the issue of data integrity should become a cornerstone of fiscal openness initiatives, and the development community should figure out how data quality considerations should be steadily introduced in global conversations around fiscal norms and to inform future OGP action plans.
- Address the "fiscal black holes" –Generally, OGP plans place much more emphasis on expenditures than on revenue and even less on debt stocks. Further, a whole range of extra budgetary activities – which I would label "fiscal black holes" - receive far less attention despite the fact that they can have a substantial impact on a country's macroeconomic stability and in enhancing the fiscal space to frontload growth enhancing investments. The issue of tax expenditure for instance is only addressed in a handful of action plans (e.g Bulgaria) despite the fact these types of expenditures can erode as much as 50% of budget resources on an annual basis, are subject to much less scrutiny, and are typically regressive in nature. Similarly, issues of quasi fiscal activities, non-financial assets and contingent liabilities virtually got no coverage at all. All of the above represent areas where civil society organizations could potentially play a vital advocacy role, raising the question whether there is scope for GIFT and other initiatives to promote awareness about these neglected areas so they get featured more prominently in global conversations.
- Usability – Too often, fiscal openness initiatives are focused on simply making information public without any real consideration of what kind of data would be relevant for potential users. We need to develop better tools to enhance our understanding of the current uses of budget work around the world as well as perceived barriers in terms of data access for further engagement. Capturing this knowledge is an essential precondition towards maximizing the usefulness of fiscal openness initiatives. It is only by matching data availability with user demand that the rubber meets the road in open budgeting.

Rising cost of college: How to overcome student loans and income inequality
Most of us were more worried about getting into our college of choice than we were about paying for that education. But the cost of college has risen dramatically in recent years. According to the National Center of Education Statistics, between 2000-01 and 2010-11, prices at public institutions rose 42 percent. As a result, of the 20 million Americans that attend college, 60 percent borrow money to pay for it. But without a college degree, people earn much less, leading to greater income inequality. So, what's the answer?
Student loans
For many, student loans have become the go-to solution. As the cost of college has risen, so has the amount of student loan debt. According to the American Student Assistance (ASA) organization, in Student Loan Debt Statistics, "There is roughly somewhere between $902 billion and $1 trillion in total outstanding student loan debt in the United States today." The average balance owed is just over $24,000.
But not all student loans are created equal, as Shannon Heffernan wrote in "Parents put off retirement to pay for kids' college" on March 13, 2013, for WBEZ.org. One example is the federally distributed PLUS loans that parents can take out, which have a higher interest rate than many other types of loans — currently about 7.9 percent. Heffernan cites an AARP study, which recently found that one in 10 adults age 50 to 65 had some form of education debt. "That education debt is nearly impossible to erase through bankruptcy, and can be garnished from social security payments," she writes. "PLUS loans can't be turned over to the student, making a parent responsible until it's paid off." For parents, this kind of debt can force them to put off their own retirement.
More debt, more default
Ryan McCarthy blogged at Reuters.com on March 5, 2013, in "Counterparties: Misspent Youth," that during the economic downturn the only kind of debt that increased was student loan debt. The other thing that increased was delinquency rates on those loans.
The ASA finds that 37 million borrowers have outstanding balances on their student loan debt and of that figure, 14 percent (or 5.4 million) are past due on at least one payment. McCarthy writes, "the approximately $1 trillion outstanding student debt looks less like a quick-bursting bubble and more like a slow, constant drag on the economy."
Good investment?
So is college still a good investment, particularly when it comes to future income inequality? McCarthy shares that "Fed research has shown the cost college education can usually be recouped in 10 years or less." The National Center for Education Statistics highlight some other positive figures:
- In 2010, people ages 25 to 34 with bachelor's degrees earned 114 percent more than did those without high-school diplomas.
- College graduates earned 50 percent more than did young adults who completed only high school, and 22 percent more than did those with associate degrees.
- The median income for young adults with a bachelor's degree was $45,000, and with an associate degree, $37,000.
The problem with student loan repayment often comes for those who do not complete their degree. Twenty-six percent of college students who left without graduating between 2004 and 2009 defaulted on their student loan debt. Completing your college degree can make a big difference in your future and your income potential down the road. For many, student loans are the answer to make the dream of college a reality. The key is to be smart about the amount of debt you take on, pay attention to where you borrow that money from and, oh yeah, do what mom and dad say — stay in school!

Consistency leads to NCAA mark
Stockbower has posted a double-double in 81 of 96 career games
Amy Hughes, NCAA.com
Doubles have become quite routine for Kathryn Stockbower.
The Swarthmore College senior has a double major in biology and German studies, and checks in with a 3.84 cumulative grade-point average.
Through Feb. 9, she had 81 double-doubles in her collegiate career, setting a Division III all-time record. Since her first game at Swarthmore, there have only been 15 games that she did not record a double-double.
"From a coaching perspective, the consistency is amazing," said Swarthmore head coach Renee DeVarney. "Each year, the team as a whole has gotten better. We had to rely on Kathryn for everything her freshman year; now it has spread around a lot more."
Stockbower is nothing if not consistent. She scored 422 points as a freshman, 443 as a sophomore and 442 as a junior. Although her per-game scoring average has dipped from 17.7 in each of her first three years to 15.4 this year, she has helped the Garnet (13-9) take aim at their first postseason appearance since 2008.
Stockbower set the NCAA Division III double-double record on Feb. 5 with an 18-point, 10-rebound performance at Johns Hopkins. She broke the record on the home court of the previous record holder, Hopkins alum Julie Anderson, who held the former record since 1998 with 79 career double-doubles.
"It was really exciting," Stockbower said of setting the double-doubles record. "It's a huge honor to have something go down in the record books. It's not anything that I would have ever expected to accomplish in my college career."
"People always have goals of scoring 1,000 points or being the all-time leading scorer in their school's history," DeVarney said. "This (the double-doubles record) is not really something anybody really dreams about their freshman and sophomore year. It's still a little bit surreal because it's not one of those popular milestones, but I'm sure that in a few months we'll look back and say 'Holy cow. What an amazing accomplishment.'"
Stockbower's long list of statistical accomplishments includes some of those mainstream milestones.
She is Swarthmore's all-time leading rebounder with 1,289 boards, and has 1,641 career points to rank fourth all-time in Garnet history. She has also posted double-figure points in 74 consecutive games, a Centennial Conference record.
Stockbower is one of three players in program history with 1,000 career points and rebounds. More impressive, she is one of only three players in Centennial Conference history with both 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds.
Her head coach is quick to point out that Stockbower's accomplishments do not end on the hardwood. Last week, Stockbower was named to the 2011 CoSIDA Academic All-District II first team, making her an academic All-America candidate.
"She's brilliant, and everybody up on campus knows what a hard worker she is," DeVarney said. "Kathryn is applying for a Fulbright Scholarship and we're keeping our fingers crossed that she'll get one. Last year, I told Kathryn she needed to apply to be a Rhodes Scholar. She fits the criteria in every way and I'm sure she would have been a top candidate, but she just said 'Coach, I don't see myself studying in England for a couple of years.' So she's being really modest when she talks about her academics. She really is a top-notch student."
"Ultimately, I would like to go to medical school, so I'm leaning more towards the biology side of things," Stockbower said. "The German Studies is more of an interest and a passion of mine. I don't know that I'll necessarily wind up doing much with it, but I'm taking a year between graduation and going to medical school. I'm hoping to wind up in Germany, potentially teaching English next year."
DeVarney's evaluation of what has made Stockbower such a force to reckon with at Swarthmore is delivered with confidence.
"People have asked me, is Kathryn the best player I've ever coached," said DeVarney. "Well, no. She's not. I've coached some really high-level athletes, but she is the best at the day-to-day work ethic every single day. I think we take that for granted sometimes. Whether you're having a good day or a bad day or you're sick or whatever happened to you, you can just bring it every day."
That work ethic has translated into an unparalleled consistency on and off the court.
"She has been so amazingly consistent since her freshman year, that we just know Kathryn is going to get a double-double, and if everyone else does all right, we may win as a team or not," DeVarney said. "The consistency is really what is very impressive to me. If I could always have a player that consistent, I would love it. She's a very hard worker, very level-headed emotionally and her day-to-day work ethic is incredible."
"I think that if you work hard day-in and day-out you're always going to be prepared when the game comes," Stockbower said. "There's also a certain level of mental preparation that is really important. Just really being able to focus and come in to every game with a high level of intensity is important for me."
Stockbower's intensity and talents have allowed DeVarney to remove rebounding drills from Swarthmore's practices.
"At the Division III level you have to pick and choose some of the things that you spend a lot of time practicing because you just don't have a lot of time," DeVarney said. "We don't practice rebounding. Kathryn has a knack of going to get the ball. We also don't run a lot of plays for her because she scores off of her rebounding. It's really her keen insight into where the ball is going to bounce and then being strong enough to fend off everyone who is always trying to beat her up every single game."
These days, Stockbower is frequently double- and triple-teamed on the court. Her numbers still haven't dropped.
Maybe it's because she views her rebounding duties with an analytical eye.
"I've been playing basketball for such a long time now that it's just one of those gradual progressions," Stockbower said. "In high school, my role on the team wasn't so much a scorer as a rebounder, so I started to build a foundation for becoming one of the top rebounders ... In terms of technique, I think it does have a lot to do with desire, but positioning is key as well. That's something that I don't know that I consciously work on it, but I always try to get into the spot where I think the ball is going to go no matter what."
Three games remain on Swarthmore's regular-season schedule. Stockbower will be honored on Saturday as part of senior day festivities against Franklin & Marshall. The team's final home game will take place against Bryn Mawr on Feb. 16 and the Garnet will close at Haverford on Feb. 19 with their eye on the Feb. 23 start to the Centennial Conference Tournament.
Stockbower may continue to add to her double-doubles record, but she has already solidified her double impact on Swarthmore, both academically and athletically.

As a mainstay in the world of video games, Pacman has found himself in more than his fair share of unique places, from entertainment to education.
Namco's Game Entertainment Incorporation in the US are the creators of outstanding games like Pacman, Galaga and Pole Position just to name a few. Now they are on the verge of delving into the Restaurant world.
According to a media source the company is drawing closer in completing a new restaurant known as Level 257. This future restaurant has been given the name for the most difficult stage to reach in the original Pacman game. What makes this last stage so complicated is a little bug that is featured on Stage 256.
This restaurant will not only have food and drinks, but it will also include lots of entertainment for the whole family. Here's a visual for your imagination. The entire premises will be a 40,000 Square Foot room that will include pinball mechanisms, table tennis games, 16 bowling alleys and a most sought after arcade shop with the latest in titles and the resurrected Namco Classics.
The Vice President of the company, David Bishop, stated that it will be located in a Chicago suburb and will be opened to the public in January 2015. A specific date has not been set from what Lee G. Lovett had said. Americans be prepared for the world's first Pacman Themed Restaurant.

Sharing Dad: A man big
enough for more than just one family
June 09, 2007
With his twin brother, my father was
the youngest boy of a large
northwestern Pennsylvania farm
family of Scottish descent. Dad
spent his life as a big-rig truck
driver, delivering everything from
gasoline to magazines around the
It was a job he enjoyed and in which
he took great pride. He loved road
travel—it was on a road trip with a
friend to the 1939 Mardi Gras in New
Orleans that he met my mother,
Fannie MacLeod.
Dad was a quiet but friendly man,
very emotional, very resistant to
confrontation. He loved vegetable
gardening and had some definite
talent for it, and few things gave
him more pleasure than eating stuff
from his own garden—corn, zucchini,
He loved animals, especially a
much-lamented retriever named
"Guffer" (my dad's pet names were
pungently phonosemantic; he dubbed a
lizard of mine "Squatley"). Guffer
had died before I, the youngest of
the five kids, came along in 1962,
but Dad's stories of him made me
feel like I knew him.
Dad also loved all kinds of birds,
but had a peculiar affinity for
crows, which he insisted were the
smartest of them all, an assertion
he backed up with the claim that he
had never seen one as roadkill—you'd
see owls dead on the road all the
time, he noted, despite their
proverbial wisdom.
He loved swashbuckler movies,
especially the Leslie Howard version
of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
He loved Bob Hope and Jonathan
Winters. He loved sports, especially
baseball, especially the Pittsburgh
Pirates. He loved poetry, and read
it (or recited it) to us kids—his
favorites were Poe's "The Raven,"
Robert Service's "Cremation of Sam
McGee" and Thayer's "Casey at the
Bat." He wrote poetry,
too—sentimental stuff in the style
Edgar Guest, though to my mind
livelier and wittier than
Guest's—and he passed his enthusiasm
for verse on to me.
But maybe this recounting of Dad's
traits and preferences is itself too
close to sentimentality. For all his
sociability, there was a melancholy
side to my dad as well, part of
which I would attribute to the early
death of his twin brother, my Uncle
Bob, in the late '60s.
Dad drank too much beer, and would
probably be considered a functional
alcoholic, and although he was never
remotely abusive toward Mom or us,
his drinking did cause Mom some real
pain and created some tension in the
house, especially in the first few
years after his retirement.
All the same, he and Mom were
devoted to each other and
unflinchingly devoted to their kids,
and seemed to truly love and enjoy
each other, right up until Dad died
in 1998, at the age of 85, after
struggling briefly with respiratory
By then, I had been married a few
years. My wife's parents had been
understandably unsure about their
daughter's decision to marry an
unemployed, penniless actor and
writer, but nonetheless they treated
me with great welcoming kindness,
and within a very short time I had
grown close to them.
My father-in-law was a handyman—he
had been a Navy Seabee in the
Pacific Theater of WWII—and he may
have been a little been disappointed
that his new son-in-law had few
skills in that area. But he was
always respectful and encouraging of
my career, and one Thanksgiving when
I was out of work and pretty
discouraged he declared over dinner
that he was thankful not only for
his daughter but for me.
Though they were both fun-loving and
bottomlessly generous with their
time and efforts, my father-in-law
and my father were very different
men—my wife's dad, a stocky
Irish-American from West Virginia,
was a garrulous, short-fused guy
quick to laugh and just as quick to
blow up. My signature memory of him
comes from the day when he was doing
some household repair at our condo,
and he and my wife got into an
argument. A few minutes later, I was
helping him unload some stuff from
the trunk of his car and he, still
stewing about the fight, turned to
me and exploded with:
"Mark, I don't know where she gets
that [expletive] temper! If I live
to be hundred, I'll never know where
she gets that [expletive] temper!!!"
All that kept me from laughing in
his face was the fear of his own
[expletive] temper.
He died two years ago, at 79, after
bypass surgery. Just as he was
something of a second father to me,
my own dad had been another father
to many other people—nephews and
nieces, cousins, friends, neighbors.
They were lucky, as I was lucky.
Even those of us with great parents
need all the good extra parents we
can get.
Happy Father's Day.

Where DO the days go??
This has been a rough year so far! I have been unemployed for the last 5 months and am currently separated from my husband. I've been battling depression that I'm finally starting to overcome and, if I ever needed something positive to focus on, it's now! I haven't had the energy or money to do much of my list this year, but I'm so close to finishing, that I can't give up on it. I'm not sure yet how I'm going to come up with the money to do the items on the list that require travel. So, for now, I'll have to continue on with things that I can do at home that are cheap or free, such as working my way through everything written by Shakespeare. That item alone is going to take awhile! Especially since I have a couple of book clubs going, too!

Are you trying to choose the right dog food? There's no denying that one of the most basic needs of dogs is proper nutrition. It is also one of the best ways to keep your dog healthy. Thousands of diet options exist for dogs, so choosing the right dog food can be tough. Opinions about canine nutrition vary among vets, breeders, trainers and other dog owners. Bottom line: experts don't always agree on the best type of dog foods because there is not just one answer.
Ultimately, you are the one who needs to decide what food best suits your dog. Do plenty of research so you can make an informed decision. Here are some things to do before you choose.
Get Educated About Nutrition Choices
There is a lot of information about nutrition available on the Web. Always use caution as not all the information you find will be reliable. Your vet is one of your best resources. If you still have questions, you may want to ask for a referral to a nutritionist.
In general, dog food choices boil down to the following categories:
- Holistic / Natural Commercial Diets
- Veterinary Prescription Diets
- Premium Dog Food
- Economy / Generic Dog Food
- Homemade / Raw Diets
Commercial diets are usually available in wet or dry. Decide which category best suits your dog, then start researching food companies. To compare foods, check out DogFoodAdvisor.com. For information about homemade diets, try sites like PetDiets.com and BalanceIt.com.
Read Dog Food Labels
The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has developed profiles for dog and puppy nutrition. These standards are reflected on the dog food label. This information will give you an idea of the food's content, but beware: labels can be misleading. Just because a food meets AAFCO requirements, it does not mean that is the best food for your dog. Look for food companies that exceed AAFCO guidelines and use high-quality ingredients that are human-grade if possible. Choose foods with meat-based items listed as the first two to three ingredients. Avoid foods that contain chemical preservatives and fillers like wheat, corn, and soy.
Ask People About Dog Food
Once you have done your research and decided on a general food category, ask others for their opinions about specific brands or recipes. Your veterinarian is a great place to start. You can also talk to dog breeders, trainers and groomers for more opinions. Your local pet supply store may also be of assistance, especially if it is a smaller, independent shop that carries top-quality diets. Educated pet professionals can give you their recommendations, but remember that not all experts agree when it comes to canine nutrition, so be prepared to get conflicting advice. The same goes for talking to other pet owners. Keep in mind that different dogs can react differently to the same food. Use the information you gain to further narrow your options, but remember that opinions are not facts.
Feed Your Dog
Many dog food companies offer samples or money back guarantees, so let your dog try the food before you finalize your decision. Bring home a few varieties to see which is the most palatable.
When you have settled on a food, gradually change your dog's diet, adding a little more new food to the old food each day over several days. Once your dog is exclusively eating the new diet, it may be 3-4 weeks before you see changes in your dog's overall appearance and attitude. However, if your dog develops signs of illness, see your vet - you may need to change the diet again if it does not agree with your dog in some way.
Your Dog's Diet Over Time
Many experts now recommend rotating diets every 2-6 months if you are feeding commercial dog food. This typically means changing to a new food company. Offering a variety of formulas within that company can benefit many dogs. When feeding homemade diets, a variety of foods should be offered. However, it is always important to use recipes for complete and balanced dog food. Feeding the same food all the time can not only be boring for your dog, it is also believed that this can lead to allergies and other diseases. Remember that the needs of individual dogs can vary. As always, consult your veterinarian about the best food choices for your dog.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
Getting a good night's sleep, we are told over and over again, is fundamental to our success in every other arena of life. If you're not sleeping enough or sleeping fitfully, then you're not living your best life (and you're not as pretty as you could be). Personally, I believe that some people need more sleep than others and some people are just not huge sleepers. But that's a conversation for another day.
I happen to be a huge sleeper. I love it more than anything, and getting less than seven hours really messes with me. In a perfect world (a.k.a. college), I get nine hours. I try not even think of insomnia (it pains me to type it) because it's tempting fate and blah blah blah.
I'm pretty skilled at sleeping, but as I get a bit older and more stressed out about Real World Grownup Issues, I find my sleep slipping -- I'm more prone to fitful nights, and when I wake up in the night I have more trouble falling back asleep. So what am I doing to stave off my inevitable Ambien Rx? Buying stuff. For example:
What do you do to get a better night's sleep? Will you buy pretty much anything that claims to improve your sleep? Anybody saving up for a Sleep Number bed? How do I do blackout curtains? Let's talk about it.

When you are looking for a successful payroll service provider, you need do make some considerations first before hiring a payroll service provider. Look for a payroll service provider that can give you exactly what your company needs. There are some companies that will be doing better than other companies; many then consider that these companies are ahead and providing more innovative technology than other companies in the same industry.
So, if your company is not successful just like other companies that are successful in the business line, you need to figure out how they become successful. Just like looking for payroll service provider, you need to look for a good service provider that can help your company a lot in payroll processing.
A payroll service provider will be not successful immediately in their job; it will take some perseverance and a never-quit attitude, and they will do their best for the benefits of their clients. A payroll service provider needs to be honest. This is important because you will give the data and information that needed for the payroll processing. It must be secure or put it to safe place to avoid some errors and delays.
Also, this is one of the foundations for building a good business relationship between the payroll services provider and the client. For any of the payroll service provider, they should make sure to maintain honesty and integrity in everything they do, so the company they are working for will have full trust of the payroll service provider. This is because of the sensitivity and the confidentiality needed for the information that the company is handling.
Some other payroll service providers need to have a goal for their job. Their goal is to do their job with dedication – it is not just about earning money for salary, it's about showing the client the importance of the work they do. A successful payroll company is committed to give an excellent result or service, which their client expected to have and that is why it is important for any company to be dedicated to their job. Try to check all these traits in the payroll service Australia, in order to help you to make sure if you are dealing with a good payroll service provider or not. There are lots of important things that you have to look into a payroll service company when you are ready to work with the outsource company.
A payroll service provider needs to be accessible and you can contact it when you need something to ask or some clarification, and also if there is something to change or information to add to your payroll. Most companies today choose to outsource the payroll processing to reduce unwanted cases of tax audit, because they don't need to hire an employee for their company to process the payroll. The companies need to make sure that the payroll service provider they hire is faithful to the law in order avoid any delays that may happen.Learn related information at http://www.ksbw.com/article/monterey-payroll-company-abruptly-closes-lays-off-staff/5080904

Lilly psoriasis drug hits Phase-III endpoint
Eli Lilly and Incyte announced Tuesday that its investigational moderate to severe psoriasis drug baricitinib met its primary endpoint, in a Phase-III trial. The JAK inhibitor is meant for patients who have failed one or more TNF inhibitors, like J&J's Remicade and Simponi, Amgen's Enbrel, AbbVie's Humira or UCB's Cimzia. Details from the triall will be presented at meetings in 2015 as baricitinib's safety and efficacy is currently being evaluated in another Phase-III trial. Lilly and Incyte announced an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of baricitinib in December 2009.

Jones Professorship
As part of a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant, the Houston Endowment funded the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Professor of Southwestern Studies. The Jones Professor of Southwestern Studies team-teaches the Southwestern Studies courses with the faculty of the Center for the Study of the Southwest, helps organize and present symposia, and assists the Center with other regional projects related to the professor's discipline.
Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez, Dr. Rivaya-Martínez specializes in the history of the indigenous peoples of the U.S. Southwest and the Great Plains during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His training in anthropology and history, along with his ability to read Spanish, French, and English, permit him to approach the subject with a broad perspective. He uses the ethnohistorical method, incorporating ethnographic, archaeological, linguistic, and environmental evidence, as well as interviews with contemporary consultants, into his analyses of the documentary record and his interpretations of the past. He has conducted extensive archival research in Mexico, Spain, France, and the United States, accessing a massive corpus of non-English-language original sources, some previously untapped. Dr. Rivaya-Martínez uses qualitative and quantitative analyses to cement his theories, paying attention to indigenous voices and perspectives from the past and from the present. So far, his scholarship has focused primarily on the Comanches, whose actions influenced decisively the history of a vast expanse on both sides of the Rio Grande. He has conducted his research in close contact with members of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma. His future scholarship will retain a multidisciplinary and cross-cultural approach.

However, when an opportunity came for performing at the Uday Shankar dance festival at Rabindra Sadan, the then Inspector-General of Correctional Services, B.D. Sharma IPS refused to give him permission for performance outside the prison. Nigel till then was famous for his criminal background, nefarious activities, and had once tried to escape from prison also. Nigel had to sign a petition and his mentor agreed to take him outside under her 'personal surveillance'.
For his first show he travelled in a prison van where women inmate participants were accommodated along with Alokanada Roy. Since he was classified as a 'high risk' prisoner four guards were deployed to guard him. After the first show, when the audience had left, he saw the empty chairs and he broke down. For the first time in life he cried…he realized he has some worth, capabilities. All the inmates were happy, they felt victorious as if they had won a war. In a prison, life comes to a standstill, the loneliness haunts inmates…one feels depressed thinking about the years he/she has to spend behind the high walls. The rhythm of music and dance helped them to divert their mind and give a soothing mental effect.
Finally in 2009 he was released from prison. However the 'real' hard days were to begin. Even when he was outside in a mission to re-invent himself, policemen kept him under 'close surveillance' and often enquired his whereabouts such as whether he is reorganizing his gang or is he still associated with any deviant activities.
In India hardly there exists any infrastructure to accommodate and rehabilitate prisoners. In a country where educated people do not get economic opportunities, who would give an ex-convict a job? Learning about his 'notorious' past nobody agreed to give him a job. His mother advised him to settle down in some other city. But he was determined to create a positive niche in Kolkata, the city where he had earned negative reputation because of his misdeeds.
So by borrowing money from his well-educated U.K. settled brother, he set up his own private security and professional cleaning business named Kolkata Facilities Management. The office is located at the ground floor of his house where he used to stay previously. He has 'rented' this place from his mother, so that during old age she is not dependent upon her son. Even in his new venture he confronted innumerable obstacles.
His 'past' life haunted his 'present' life during the initial post-release period. People refused him entry inside their house. Even if few people reluctantly welcomed him, he could find work 'outside' their home - he was asked to clean the lawn or penthouse/outhouse. However his desperation to find work and earn a living drove him to clean toilets. He asked one of his client, 'just lock us in your bathroom, when we finish doing our job open the latch - at best only one bottle of shampoo may be lost'.
According to him no work is big or small as long as the work is done honestly and sincerely. Once one of his private security guards as a part of routine checkup asked whereabouts of one of the guests entering a site. It 'hurt' the ego of the rich man and he complained the owner against the guard, who was immediately sacked. Nigel had to rush late at night at the construction site and complete the hours of duty of the 'sacked' employee.
Today he runs the business employing ex-convicts as well as others who receive professional training before getting deployed in the field. For looking after daily affairs of his organization he has employed managers and accountant etc. In his organization annual rewards for best work, annual increments etc are given to his employees. Apart from his business he has learnt meditation and has provided need based meditation training to the students of Physical Education, Jadavpur University as well as to the corporate managers. Earlier an atheist, now he combines the best of Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. In fact he narrated fluently verses of Koran which made me amazed.
However, he is intelligent enough to read his critiques mind. His first film 'Mukhtodhara' depicting partly his 'real' life has been a box office hit. His newly acquired popularity and fame has created a gulf between him and his once-upon-a -time prison 'friends', with whom he had participated in the dance therapy session. It seems he has received accolades more than he deserves.
Even though the dance drama Balmiki Pratibha is a group endeavour, time and again he has been in the limelight, while the rest of the inmates perhaps have not received their due recognition. His mentors are accused of being biased towards him. Few of the correctional officers on conditions of anonymity opined that, 'for his mentors he is a publicity material and he has also 'manipulated' time, opportunity and people to serve his vested interests and purposes. In all these years only one Vicky (his pet name) have been projected as a face of reform, where are the rest?' When the movie was premiered at Priya entertainment hall near Deshapriya park, I was passing by. I distinctly remembered a constable remarked, "What an irony of police. The police which once chased him…the police personnel with whom he used to fight around, are being deployed today to protect the rest of the celebrity and 'him' from the hysterical crowd."
Few of the correctional officers during training session at RICA, Kolkata, would often mention that he speaks to the media about custodial torture in jails…but never does he speak about how he behaved with the correctional staff inside the jail before his reformed phase. One of the in-service trainees during human rights class had pointed out that human rights of prisoners are cared, but what about human rights of victims, human rights of correctional officers? Have anyone ever considered to explore how does the immediate victims feel when they see him today as a matinee-idol. What pain they have undergone?
Can any cultural therapy compensate the loss they had suffered in their personal lives by losing their near and dear ones at his hand? What do other under trials/ convicts feel when they see a fellow –prisoner roaming scot free in society for the same crime for which they are behind the prison walls? When I reminded the trainee that due to lack of evidence in any case he has been released by the court, the trainee answered, '…it is such a great irony that verdicts are pronounced on evidence (fabricated/ deleted) not on truth!
Nigel refused innumerable film offers after 'Mukhtodhara', fully aware that an unbridgeable rift has been created between him and the rest. At present he is working in a film called 'Yodha' opposite Tollywood superhero Dev. For enacting his character he had to learn horse ridding, is undergoing rigorous training session at a gym and is on a medically approved diet consisting of boiled chicken.
When he offered me to eat the food appeared so tasteless, but I found him eating graciously and I realized how committed he was for his role. Later this year he will be engaged in the publicity of the film 'Yodha'. Referring to his critiques he says, "…and then there will be an atom blast." He has in his mind innumerable projects related to prisoner's welfare, which at the moment he refuses to divulge to the media.
At the end of the interview I looked at my watch and found three hours passed off in a blink of an eye. After that whenever I have asked of any help related to my research or anything else he has always been kind enough to help me. At the end of the day it cannot be denied that he is multi faceted genius having a very high sense of humour and intelligence. Criminals, underworld dons are not accessible to media. Nobody is aware of the ups and downs of their personal and professional life, their struggles and insecurities.
Hence dreaded criminals such as Aftab Ansari, Gabbar, are enigma. But media glare has made Nigel's life an open book for either people to get motivated or critique him and his work. It is very difficult to come to a conclusion about him. Is he reformed is a million dollar question. Does an alumnus of St. Xavier's school and college, Kolkata need any training on behavior changes and manners? It can also be interpreted that it is easier to 'reform' a city based St. Xaviers's alumnus rather than a rustic, illiterate guy hailing from rural hinterland.
At the moment there exist a mental void between him and few of his ex-colleagues with whom he participated in the cultural therapy session. How far the tinsel town has accepted him is questionable since he has confronted 'subtle' discrimination in that world too. He would love to speak about his present and future activities, because each time he is questioned of his ignominious past he feels he is 'raped'. His past has been commodified and commercialized.
He wants to erase those few years of his 'dark' life when he went terribly wrong and wants to move forward, though his past has perennial presence at the back of his mind. He represents thousands of inmate who struggle to rehabilitate themselves during the post-release phase…who look out for one opportunity to re-invent themselves in our society. However the difference is the rest of the inmates are unheard, invisible. But he is under constant public scrutiny- a very 'high' price to be paid for being under constant klieg light and for his meteoric rise to stardom.
He struggles to maintain his ordinary image which is revealed by the SMS he sent me when I called him a 'Big Celebrity'. He replied "… I am nt (not) big maam I'm normal, n (and ) trying my best to remain ordinary' - whether this constant 'inner' struggle will make him more resolute or will break him only future will reveal.

Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe of Rumphi has called on parents and members of the community in the district to send girls to school and ensure adequate resources are allocated towards girl child education. The chief said efforts to promote girl child education should start with the parents by among others ensuring that girls are sent to school and financially supported. Furthermore he said the community has a responsibility of ensuring that girls are protected from early marriages, sexual abuse and harassments, therefor he has facilitated the formation of community by laws in order to arrest cases of early marriages.
''Over 300 village headmen under my jurisdiction have formulated community by-laws that aim to protect our girls from getting married in their teen ages'', Chikulamayembe said.
The paramount chief however, noted that poverty is derailing efforts to completely root out cases of early marriages as some parents marry off their girls in order to benefit from dowry. In patriarchal communities like Rumphi, dowry is paid in form of huge sums of money or cattle.
Concurring, Life Concern Organisation (LICO) Executive Director Peter Gondwe said his organisation has since partnered with the chiefs in fighting cases of early marriages and currently supports 52 girls with school fees and other learning materials. These are the girls who have been withdrawn from arranged early marriages.
Gondwe however chided other NGOs who are withdrawing girls from arranged early marriages and later failing to support them with school fees and other basic needs: ''We need to have a holistic approach to this. It's not proper just to withdraw the girls from the arranged marriages and later failing to support them with their education and other basic needs.''

Here is a short welcome from the ambassador at the Danish Embassy in Hungary, Kirsten Geelan.
It is with great enthusiasm and curiosity that I assumed the position as ambassador for Denmark in Hungary 1st of September 2016. I have a lot of experience from previous positions as ambassador in Sarajevo and Tallinn among others. I look very much forward to strengthen the bilateral relations between Denmark and Hungary further.
Many Danish corporations are already established in Hungary. They contribute to the creation of economic growth for both Denmark and Hungary. In recent years more than one hundred Danish corporations have found Hungarian business partners with the assistance of the embassy. Our trade department is always ready to advice about concrete opportunities in Hungary based on many years of experience of working with Hungary's corporate sector and the commercial opportunities.
The embassy's most distinguished role is to take care of Danish interests and assist Danish citizens, corporations and authorities in Hungary. Additionally, it is a natural part of the embassy's responsibility to spread the knowledge of Denmark – Danish Society, culture, economy and industry as well as Danish perceptions and values.
The embassy and its entire staff of professionals are at your disposal for further guidance and assistance.

Ecopetrol Included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
- Ecopetrol is today one of 12 oil companies that are part of the leading international sustainability indicator.
- The company is among the 10% best rated oil companies worldwide.
Sep 09, 2011, 12:28 ET
BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC; BVC: ECOPETROL; BVL: EC; TSX: ECP) was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability (Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World), according to a report dated yesterday by the Swiss firm SAM (Sustainable Asset Management), who launched the index in 1999 in partnership with Dow Jones.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090209/ARM001LOGO)
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index is a reference for international analysts, sector specialized entities, and portfolio investors who consider sustainability performance when making investment decisions.
The Sustainability Index is one of the top world indicators for monitoring the financial performance of leading companies in terms of three-dimensional corporate sustainability (economic, social and environmental).
With the milestone announced today, Ecopetrol became part of the group of the top 10% of companies with the best sustainability performance, out of a list of 2,500 public companies which are part of the Dow Jones world index.
The DJSI follow a best-in-class approach, including companies across all industries that
outperform their peers in numerous sustainability metrics. Each year, SAM invites the world's 2,500 largest companies, measured by free-float market capitalization, from the 57 sectors to report on their sustainability performance.
According to data released by SAM, 118 oil and gas companies were analyzed, of which only 12 were included in the world index.
Among the areas in which Ecopetrol obtained the highest results were human talent development, social impact on communities, and commitment to stakeholders. Significant improvements were perceived in environmental and economic dimensions and the consolidation of the company's corporate governance. This milestone came four years before planned, as Ecopetrol had initially envisioned becoming a part of the DJSI by year 2015.
Ecopetrol shares the privilege of being part of the index with companies like Petrobras, Repsol, Statoil, Total and Eni. Starting 2011 Colombian companies are included in the Dow Jones world index for the first time.
The result obtained shows the progress Ecopetrol has made to ensure sustainable operations and reach its goal to produce one million clean barrels in 2015 and 1.3 million in 2020. Clean barrels refers to an operation without accidents, environmental incidents, with labor normalcy, in harmony with stakeholders, sustainable in three dimensions (economic, social and environmental), and profitable.
Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and a firm integrated into the petroleum chain, ranked among the 40 largest petroleum companies in the world, and one of the four principal petroleum companies in Latin America. In addition to Colombia, where it generates more than 60% of domestic production, it has a presence in exploration and production activities in Brazil, Peru and the United States (Gulf of Mexico). Ecopetrol has the largest refinery in Colombia, the largest part of the network of oil pipelines and multi-use pipelines in the country, and it is significantly increasing its participation in biofuels.
This press release contains statements concerning business prospects, estimates of operating and financial results, and assertions concerning Ecopetrol's prospects for growth. These are all projections, and as such, they are based solely on the expectations of management with respect to the future of the company and its continuing access to capital to finance the company's business plan. The fulfillment of such estimates in the future depends on the behavior of the market, regulations, competition, and performance of the Colombian economy and industry, among other factors; therefore, these projections are subject to change without prior notice.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The driver of a pick up truck which killed two men when it slammed into the front of a popular Liberty City restaurant was in bond court on Monday.
During his appearance before the judge, bond was set at $30,000 for 53-year old Antonio Lawrence who is charged with two counts of DUI manslaughter.
According to an arrest affidavit, Lawrence was also charged with DUI and DUI with property damage. A prosecutor in this case told a Judge in bond court that that was the same charged he was arrested for in 2007.
The affidavit said Lawrence refused to say anything to Police as he was being arrested and said a half-full bottle of brandy was found with him.
CBS4's Peter D'Oench also reported that records show that Lawrence was also arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in 1999 and assault and battery in 2004.
The night of the crash, the judge said a field sobriety test showed he had a blood alcohol level of .253, more than three times the legal limit.
"It's the state's position that this man is a danger to the community and that he was responsible for these deaths and his DUI blood alcohol test was very high," the prosecutor told the judge.
Lawrence told the judge he supports five children and takes care of his 97-year old mother. He added that he could not afford a lawyer and would need a public defender.
D'Oench stopped at Lawrence's home in Northwest Miami-Dade and was told by a woman at the home that Lawrence "was a good person." She told D'Oench that Lawrence's mother did not want to say anything.
Lawrence was heading north on Northwest 7th Avenue Friday evening when he reportedly lost control near the intersection of Northwest 75th Street, and slammed Aljo Hamlin and Wilton Harris who were talking outside. Both men died.
Wilton Harris was a pastor at the St. Barnabas Wesleyan Methodist church, but he often took his sermons to Jumbo's. He preached there just two weeks ago on Father's Day.
The truck also hit a parked car which crashed through the entrance of Jumbo's Restaurant.
Eleven customers were at the restaurant at the time. Some narrowly escaped the car's path.
"I stand here as a miracle," Ken Knight said. "We were all there together, but somehow God chose to spare our lives."
Knight said his friend, Demetrius Allen, pushed him out of harm's way.
Knight wasn't hurt, but he lost a dear friend in Harris. Knight said he has a message for the driver.
"It would have been better for him had he killed himself then to do what he has done," Knight said.
Wilton Harris's widow said Sunday she can't hate the person responsible.
"I can't have animosity," Renee Harris said. "God is the final judge of the man who did this."
She said the death of her husband left her "numb.
