Jane's StoryYears ago I spotted a pretty punch bowl in an antique store, and fell in love with it. I told my hubby that I wanted it for Christmas. He said "Why, you don't ever make punch."
And I said" That's because I don't have a punch bowl!".
The rest is history, of course.
The punch bowl sat on a smaller bowl for a pedestel and had matching cups, with hooks to mount them on the side of the bowl.
I always made punch during the holidays because it was something special and non alcoholic for the kids, and of course for the adults you could add some "cheer".
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Notes from the Test Kitchen:
Not only does this punch have a great flavor, but it's also downright gorgeous! The fruit/ice ring is a terrific idea for any special occasion and can be adjusted to fit the event and the ingredients you have on hand. Have fun!
Not only does this punch have a great flavor, but it's also downright gorgeous! The fruit/ice ring is a terrific idea for any special occasion and can be adjusted to fit the event and the ingredients you have on hand. Have fun!
64 oz
cranberry juice, divided
6 oz
can frozen orange pineapple juice
1 l
bottle 7 up or ginger ale
1 qt
raspberry sherbert, divided
floating ring:
2 c
cranberry juice
1/3 c
fresh cranberries
1/3 c
fresh fruit your choice, strawberries, blueberries, etc
1 1/2 c
frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions Step-By-Step
1Make your floating ring ahead of time, I use a bundt pan because it has a pretty deep design on it.
2Thaw the frozen topping so you can combine it with other ingredients.
3Combine all floating ring ingredients.
4Place in a freezer, and when it starts to set, give a stir to distribute the fresh fruit through out the mold.
5When you are ready for your guests put punch together. I literally wait until every one is there to keep the sparkle in the punch.
6Put the frozen orange pineapple in your punch bowl, then add Half the cranberry juice, and half the ginger ale, stir to melt the juice.
7Add the rest of liquids as you desire, don't fill up all the way to make room for floating ring.
8Put some hot water in your sink. Add the frozen ring and place in it just to loosen it enough to get it out of your mold.
9Place frozen ring on tiop of your punch, add the sherbert in the middle, and TA DAH! You got one fabulous looking punch.

You could add any other juices to this, and champagne would be a knock out.

On Tuesday, May 15, 2007, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will conduct a public meeting to provide information on proposed improvements to the RM 620 corridor between North SH 45 and IH 35.
The public meeting will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, 2007, at the Round Rock High School cafeteria, located at 300 Lake Creek Drive; Round Rock, Texas 78681. The public meeting will run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will consist of an Open House from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., a study overview presentation from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and a Public Comment Session/Open House from 7:30 p.m. until everyone who has signed up to speak has had that opportunity. Participants will be able to provide their feedback at each of the Open House stations as well as during the Public Comment Session. Written feedback is also welcomed in the form of comment cards that will be distributed during the public meeting, statements provided to court reporters at the meeting, or by mail (for an address, please see below).
The proposed project area is located within the City of Round Rock and Williamson County. In addition to the no-build alternative, the proposed RM 620 project currently includes two corridor alignment alternatives. The first alternative would be to improve approximately 4.2 miles of RM 620 between SH 45 and IH 35 along existing alignment; and the second alternative would be to improve RM 620 along existing alignment between SH 45 and Deep Wood Drive and consider a new location alignment between the existing RM 620 at Deep Wood Drive and IH 35 at its intersection with US 79.
The purpose of these improvement alternatives is to provide additional capacity, improved mobility, and enhanced safety along the existing RM 620. The purpose of the public meeting is to receive comments on the alternatives developed to date as well as to receive comments on other alternatives.
Design alternatives for this project would include a possible conversion of the existing RM 620 to an arterial facility with grade separations at major crossings. Another proposed design alternative would include the conversion of the existing RM 620 to 6-lanes with a raised median from SH 45 to Deep Wood Drive. It would be determined during the corridor study if improvements between Deep Wood and IH 35 would be considered under this alternative; however, a grade separation over the Georgetown Rail Road will be considered.
An additional build alternative to be studied is on a new location beginning east of Deep Wood Drive, extending over Brushy Creek and the Georgetown Railroad and providing a connection to both IH 35 and US 79.
At this meeting, the public will have the opportunity to learn more about and comment on the study's purpose and need, identified environmental constraints, and a preliminary list of alternatives. Maps and other drawings will be available for viewing as well. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public meeting. The public meeting will be conducted in English. Persons interested in attending who require special accommodations, auxiliary aids, or translation services are requested to contact Elaine Brown at (512) 467-1136 at least five (5) business days prior to the public meeting. TxDOT will make every reasonable effort to accommodate these needs.
Verbal and written comments from the public regarding this study are requested. Comments may be presented during or after the public meeting. Written comments may be mailed to the study team at: 3200 Steck Avenue, Suite 220; Austin, Texas 78757, or faxed to 512-371-1137. Comments must be received no later than 10 days following the public meeting to be included in the public meeting record. The deadline for submitted comments is May 25, 2007.

Sarah has listed her attributes with spot on accuracy. I have known Sarah for about six years and I have found her to possess a strong, understated professional confidence. She is a well spoken, well prepared agent who puts both seasoned clients and first time jitters at ease. Sarah readily morphs from presenting rural farmland to high end condiminiums.
Weather I am looking to buy or sell, I find, "Sarah Lunn, Your Real Estate Resource" page on social media one of my favorite. She covers all that you need to know about homes and property through great links regarding windows, lighting, floors etc. I look forward to each post. It is innovative and progressive and highlights local properties , businesses and hidden treasures, often incorporating humour and charm.
Sarah is definitely raising the bar for the performance of sales representatives. She stands out from the crowd as she brings a high level of experience, the knowledge of technology and the clients prized possessions to the table.

We have just listed and sold our home with Sarah and would totally recommend her. We were actually thinking of using another real estate agent but as a favour to our neighbor decided to "interview" Sarah. Her professionalism and her fantastic marketing strategies won us over, plus of course her friendly personality, so we quickly chose her over the other agent we had in mind. It was a very smart move on our part. Her one hour consultation with a home stager that she offers is a bonus. As at the end of the day the way you "stage" your home to sell, along with pricing it correctly and marketing it, all helps in getting your home noticed and sold quickly. It was a delight to work with Sarah and she is very prompt at getting back to you when you leave a telephone message or email. I felt we made a great team when we put our house up for sale, and she took a lot of the stress of selling the house from us. If you are thinking of buying or selling a house in the Dufferin/Simcoe area I would definitely give her a call.

"I have known Sarah for quite some time and although I live in BC, I follow her social media feeds regarding her realty business in Ontario. When it came to selling our house and buying a new one in BC, I knew I wanted someone like Sarah to represent us and asked her opinon of who she would recommend where I live.
She recommended an amazing realtor with similar styles and consistency to herself and we sold our house in 5 days!
We really could not have done it without Sarah's help and her knowing what, or in this case WHO, we needed!!"

Jayson and I would like to thank you very much for all of the help that you have provided throughout the entire process of our recent move. It was such a pleasure working with you and we felt compelled to send this letter so that you know how much we appreciated (and still do appreciate) the commitment you have shown to us throughout the last year.
When Jay and I sat down with you last May we were in the very early stages of deciding upon a rather large change of lifestyle with regard to moving from a very populated community to a more rural setting. We had timeline restrictions as well as a very specific list of criteria that quite frankly may have frightened others off. We were picky buyers who really wanted to feel out the area and view a number of properties and property styles to educate ourselves a bit further on our choices. Upon meeting you for the first time I handed over a small booklet that detailed the style of home we were hoping for, the size, the acreage, proximity to amenities etc. It was a pretty detailed little booklet.
We are very happy to say that you helped us find our dream home, but before finalizing you made sure that we took our time and viewed as many places as possible with varying degrees of compatibility with regard to our wish list. We were able to speak frankly to you about our likes and dislikes and we also felt very comfortable discussing our issues with places/pricing. Throughout it all you had our backs. You pointed out positive and negative factors that Jayson and I may have overlooked on our own and when we finally did decide to move forward on the home that quite frankly we fell for a month into our quest, you represented us very well through a rather lengthy negotiating process.
We have been very appreciative of your continued commitment after the offer was accepted. You assisted us with setting up the home inspection, you personally accompanied me at said inspection, you have come by a couple of times since we have been in the home to make sure we are settling in well and you continue to be an excellent resource for us in our new community when looking for recommendations from hair salons to trades people. You have gone far beyond any expectations either of us had prior to embarking on this adventure and quite frankly there is not one thing we would have changed about the entire process. You were tireless, attentive and always very quick to respond and set up viewings.
To top it all off, both Jay and I feel we have found a friend in the new neighborhood in you Sarah, and we look forward to spending some good times with you for many years to come as friends. On a professional note, I can tell you that we would recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home with you! Your services were exceptional!

Our experience with Sarah Lunn in dealing with the sale of our house was beyond any expectations we may have had. From our first meeting until after the sale of the house, Sarah has rendered sincere and unsurpassed service. What a refreshing experience to have the guidance and assistance of someone who knows the market, pays attention to details and provides incredibly attentive service. Our dealings with Sarah were handled with the utmost professionalism and we would not hesitate to use her services again, nor to recommend her to our friends and colleagues.
Thanks again for everything!

My wife and I have moved 7 times over the years, each time using a different real estate agent. Without doubt, Sarah gave us the best service ever, clearly head and shoulders above the others.
Sarah provided all the services that we as buyers and sellers expected, but it is her passion to help her clients that makes her so special, (provided leads for professional services, saved us time by dropping paperwork off at our lawyers, being present at showings when we requested her to be there, showing great patience as we searched for our new home, providing great leads for us to see based on our requirements, and so on). We were fortunate to have Sarah represent us for both the purchase of our new home and for the selling of our old one. She is an excellent negotiator, explains very clearly the details of offers her clients wish to make and those that are received, and is able to bring calm to stressful situations. She always puts her clients first and will spend the time to make all the details of buying and selling as easy on her clients as possible.
If you want top notch service and peace of mind, hire Sarah Lunn as your realtor.

As a military family, we have moved numerous times throughout our careers and Sarah Lunn has been, without a doubt, the best real estate professional we have had to date. The purchase and sale of a home is a stressful endeavour at the best of times, but Sarah and the Prudential Ronan team truly made it a worry-free experience.
When we first moved to Alliston we had very little information on the town but Sarah's extensive knowledge of the local and surrounding area, coupled with her insight into the respective market trends, resulted in us getting our perfect home.
Thus when our posting messages came in this year, it was without pause or hesitation that we asked Sarah to once again represent us and list our property. She certainly didn't disappoint as she coordinated and addressed all facets of the sale, which ranged from home staging consultations and room photography to multi-media advertising and open-houses on our behalf. After only a short time on the market and numerous showings, we were ecstatic to accept a firm offer.
Should we ever be posted back to this area, we would most certainly use Sarah Lunn and the Prudential Ronan Realty team.

Sarah was the patient, knowledgeable, and professional agent we needed. She is in tune with technology and social media which made her extremely accessible and provided our home with excellent exposure. Sarah was able to answer any and all of our questions and concerns in a matter of moments. She went above and beyond our expectations. Our home sold quickly and we received significantly more than our asking price. We would recommend Sarah's services whole heartedly to our immediate family and closest of friends.

We had an amazing experience working with Sarah and Britton. They were so helpful with fulfilling all our needs to find a home. As first time home buyers we had to gain knowledge in the world of real estate and they gave us all the information we needed in a way that was easy for us to understand. They helped us make the right decisions, they were convenient and most of all caring to our needs. We would highly recommend them to people of all ages.

Dear Sarah,
On our twice-daily walks with our dog, Peter and I sometimes talk about the Cape Cod house and you!
I decided that I would like to tell you again how much we appreciated your looking after our interests in that situation.
Granted that we were all disappointed that the transaction didn't work out--still you have the satisfaction of knowing that you behaved in an honourable fashion. We admired you for that.
Also, who knows--in a few years' time, we might be looking for a bungalow and call you in to to sell our new house, which we are hoping we shall be able to turn into a showcase home!
Keep up the good work!

Deciding to sell my home was a very big decision in my life. Being a single parent that raised her daughter in this home and now that she had grown and left for university, I decided to downsize. I think that once we make this important choice, we now want it to happen yesterday! Sarah was very supportive during this time and assured me that it would happen! She promoted the house both with open houses and local advertising and when it happened...I was packed and moved in less than four weeks..things happened so fast! I would highly recommend Sarah Lunn!

We bought and sold our house in a very stressful time in our lives and Sarah Lunn was there for us the whole time. Sarah did a great job of marketing the house and was available for open houses which were also marketed very well, therefore we had very good turnout. Selling your home is very emotional but Sarah made it easier on us. We are very happy with both our sale and our purchase.

Hi Sarah.
Further to our happiness (& no doubt yours!!!), on behalf of "one & all," I want to thank you for all your help (regardless of other conditions yet to be met).
Based upon Mark & Wendy's comment: "Ronan's website has many nice properties," Don followed through on the contact. AND YOU WERE IT!!!
Since then, all 4 of us have experienced "the best" from you, Sarah. ...Professional, knowledgeable, exceedingly prompt, quick to find answers, challenged to pursue, astute to derive what would interest us, exceptional on follow-through, patient, confident, forthcoming to point out "the bad with the good," without resentment when business superseded your personal life, etc. The Roberts ("discerning," as you know!) have felt fortunate to have happened upon you!
Obviously we are hopeful for the sale of Wendy & Mark's house within the timeline, & anticipate that, with your being their agent, a positive outcome will result. (...Not intended to put pressure on you, Sarah--we just recognize your motivation to succeed, aside from client expectations!!)
Don & I, and Mark & Wendy, are grateful to have met you, Sarah, & sincerely thank you for all your efforts on our behalf. ...Marc Ronan has one exceptional jewel in you!

rom the moment we met Sarah at an Open house we knew she was the realtor that would help us find and our country property and we were right. Sarah was there through every step of the selling and buying process. She always kept in close contact and "held our hands" through the entire process. We have been at our new farm for almost a year now and Sarah is still a great resource for us, always responding to any questions we have about the area.

After working with Sarah on and off for several years, we were finally ready to make our big move; selling our first home in Toronto and purchasing in Simcoe County. While I've only worked with a handful of real estate agents, Sarah was, and continues to be, the most patient, thorough and thoughtful assistant to the process. Every step became easier; she researched municipal bylaw to see if a garage could be built (for a house on which we hadn't even made an offer), previewed potential properties in advance to ensure they were a possible fit and knew every in and out of the buying and selling process.
Despite the abundance of agent choice in our town, we continue to look to Sarah Lunn for our real estate needs and look forward to purchasing our first investment property with her assistance.

In the forest areas west of Borås was woodcrafts a regular chore. See how a pair of wooden shoes come to the King Säters parish and a wooden spoon and a chair in Bollebygds parish. The film was shot in connection with the Jubilee Exhibition in Gothenburg 1923
Thanks for passing on this find, Tim!

Donald Driver Retiring After 14 Seasons With Green Bay Packers
Donald Driver could teach Ray Lewis, or any NFL player, something about retiring with humility.
Donald Driver could teach Ray Lewis, or any NFL player, something about retiring with humility.
For three weeks NFL fans have subjected to torture with replacements referees of their beloved Thursday, Sunday, and Monday games. Late last week the fans were granted an eight year reprieve when the NFL struck a deal with the regular referees and they were promptly returned to the game of football. See the reaction of the fans to the regular refs.
We won't know for almost a month if the Green Bay Packers' 15-1 season ends with a second straight Super Bowl win, but the team's continued success has certainly helped it snag the title of America's most popular football team.

HIGHWOOD RIVER, Calgary - As many as 100,000 people could be forced from their homes by heavy flooding in western Canada, Calgary city officials said, while mudslides forced the closure of the Trans-Canada Highway, isolating the mountain resort towns of Banff and Canmore.
Torrential rains and widespread flooding throughout southern Alberta on Thursday washed out roads and bridges, left at least one person missing and caused cars, couches and refrigerators to float away. Communities were hit hard just south of Calgary, a city of more than a million people that hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Many downtown neighborhoods were ordered evacuated as the evening went on. Officials said the evacuation would take place in stages over the next few days. The province reported that 12 communities were under states of emergency.
Water levels were expected to reach their maximum around noon on Friday.
One woman who had been stranded on top of a trailer was missing after it was swept away, STARS air ambulance spokesman Cam Heke said.
Motorists who were trapped overnight Wednesday by water spilling over Canada's main western highway had to be rescued by helicopter, Town of Canmore spokeswoman Sally Caudill said.
"I woke up at about three o'clock in morning to the sound of this kind of rumbling, and it was the creek," said Wade Graham, a resident of Canmore. "At first it was just intense, pretty powerful, amazing thing to watch. As daylight came, it just got bigger and bigger and wider and wider, and it's still getting bigger and bigger and wider and wider."
He added, "I watched a refrigerator go by, I watched a shed go by, I watched couches go by. It's insane."
Bruce Burrell, director of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, said water levels on the Bow River aren't expected to subside until Saturday afternoon. The Bow River Basin already has been battered with up to 3.9 inches of rain.
"Depending on the extent of flooding we experience overnight, there may be areas of the city where people are not going to be able to get into until the weekend," he told a news conference.
In High River, Mounties asked people with motorboats to help rescue at least a dozen stranded homeowners.
"We have people on their rooftops who were unable to evacuate fast enough," said RCMP Sgt. Patricia Neely.
Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning for the affected areas, estimating as much as 100 millimetres more rain could fall in the next two days.

Just Label It!
13 Aug 12
The second national seminar on the labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods was organized by Slow Food in Uruguay from July 27 to August 2, as part of a national campaign for compulsory labeling of the escalating number of GM foods on supermarket shelves.
The event was organized by the Slow Food Canario Convivium together with the Montevideo Rural and Punta del Diablo Convivia. In addition to lobbying for transparent traceability of GM products, they are working in support of a new law that would ban the cultivation, including experimental open-air plantings, of genetically modified soya and corn.
"We are consuming GM foods everyday - nearly all soybeans and 80% of corn found in Uruguay are GM – and without a compulsory labeling system, we are robbed of a choice," said Laura Rosano leader of Slow Food Canario and chef known for her regional cuisine." We are feeding our babies maize porridge and turning our population into a giant health experiment!"
About 100 participants joined the event, which presented recent research from the region on the right to information and GM production. Argentinean lawyer and environmental journalist Dr. Graciela Cristina Gomez presented her paper "Information Protection and Fair Competition"; Carlos Pereyra, director of the Consumer Association discussed his "Information and the Controlled Citizen"; and Adriana Cauci from the School of Nutrition spoke about her research into "Labeling and Citizenship in Childhood".
Catering during the event offered an opportunity to showcase and taste the products of producers and farmers from the Slow Food network, including those who will participate in Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre 2012 this October in Italy: Sabores Canario, Aida Sur and Conservas del Este. Their local specialties included vegetable pâtés, local spirits, jam made with the native palm fruit butiá, and gofio, a flour made by stone-grinding toasted creole (criollo) corn kernels.
The entire conference can be viewed online (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4).

Parents charged in death of infant
A two-week old infant was the victim of a homicide and the child's parents have been charged in the death, according to High Point police.
Officers were called to 1206 Kimery Drive at 3:05 p.m. Tuesday in reference to an unresponsive two-week-old child. Upon arrival, officers found the male child deceased. Investigators believe the child died as a result of a homicide.
The child's father, Brian Jack Frazier, was charged with first-degree murder and his mother, Stefany Renee Ash, was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Both suspects have court appearances this morning.The father of an infant who was found dead earlier this week admitted to detectives that he "snapped" and punched the child in the face after it fussed while he was playing video games, a state prosecutor said in court Wednesday.
Brian Jack Frazier, 20, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 2-week-old son, Kahn Frazier, whose lifeless body was found by High Point police officers responding to a call from a house on Kimery Drive about 3 p.m. Tuesday. Frazier's girlfriend and the boy's mother, 20-year-old Stefany Renee Ash, called 911 to report that the child was unresponsive.
Investigators determined that Kahn was the victim of a homicide and that the couple had tried to cover up what happened, prosecutors said. Ash was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. During initial court appearances for the suspects, District Court Judge Polly Sizemore set Ash's bond at $1 million and ordered Frazier held without bond.
Assistant District Attorney Leah Howell told Sizemore that Ash and Frazier live with Ash's father, the baby and her other child, a 15-month-old boy, at 1206 Kimery Drive.
The couple was there with both children when officers and paramedics arrived. Ash's father was at work. Police found Kahn, who was born Nov. 14, dead in a bassinet in the bedroom.
"The conditions of the home were horrible," said Howell.
Detectives interviewed Ash and Frazier separately at the home and later questioned them at police headquarters. Prosecutors said Frazier admitted to his role in Kahn's death.
"He said he was playing PlayStation until 5 a.m. (Tuesday). The baby was fussy," said Howell. "(Frazier) said he snapped, grabbed the child by the neck, punched the baby in the face, killed the baby and then went back to bed."
Ash initially told police she went to sleep at 5 a.m., woke up at 2 p.m. and found the baby unresponsive. She didn't call for help until about 3 p.m., which aroused detectives' suspicions. Howell said the truth was that the couple had been planning for hours how to cover up the homicide, possibly by hiding the body and claiming that the boy had been kidnapped. Ash also suggested that Frazier flee, Howell said.
Paramedics found bruising around the child's neck that appeared to be consistent with fingerprint impressions and told detectives that rigor mortis in his body had started to subside, suggesting Kahn had been killed long before the couple claimed.
Ash's stepfather, Bruce Alston, told the judge that his stepdaughter is afraid of Frazier, who she met online. He relocated from Louisiana and moved in with Ash and her family. He said her father was the only provider in the household and that the family struggled to make ends meet.
"Stephanie has never hurt any of her children. She loves them with all her heart," said Alston. "We were only a phone call away. They know they can drop the baby off anytime. They have made many mistakes since he has been in the area."
Alston nevertheless described Frazier as a loving father who was proud at the recent birth of his son.
"I know he loves to play PlayStation," said Alston. "He's not mature enough to have a family."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Bryson, Nigel Robert URN etd-09142010-125920 Document Title Trapping of free-living, unfed adult and nymphal Amblyomma hebraeum in heartwater endemic regions of South Africa, and the prevalence of Cowdria ruminantium in a sample of adult ticks Degree MMedVet Department Veterinary Tropical Diseases Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr S M Mahan Co-Supervisor Prof E H Venter Co-Supervisor Prof I G Horak Supervisor Keywords
- Cowdria ruminantium
- ticks
- heartwater
Date 2000-11-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe main objective of this study was to use the Attraction-aggregation-attachment¬pheromone/carbon dioxide (AAAP/C02) trap on a sustainable basis at six different field sites in South Africa. This trap was developed in Zimbabwe, but had not been used successfully in the field for the collection of free-living adult and nymphal A. hebraeum.
A two-year collection survey was carried out at one of the sites, the Rietgat communal grazing area (CGA) where 1 196 adult and 292 nymphal A. hebraeum were trapped with the AAAP/CO2. Only free-living, unfed adult and nymphal A. hebraeum were collected, as these ticks were considered to be epidemiologically more credible than ticks collected off hosts. A distinct seasonal appearance of adult ticks was noted in both 1996 and 1997, and this could explain the difficulty experienced in collecting these ticks in the field in the past.
Peak numbers of adult ticks were collected from late spring (September/October) to midsummer (November - January). This was followed by a sharp decline to very low counts for the remainder of the year (February - August).
Field work was also conducted at five other sites in South Africa. At three of these sites, the AAAP/CO2 trap was used successfully, these included a farm near East London (n = 187 adults, 17 nymphs) Kruger National Park (KNP) (n = 447 adults) and the Songimvelo Game Reserve (SGR) (n = 48 adults). At the two other sites, namely the MEDUNSA campus (n = 31 adults) and at a farm near Warmbaths (n = 25 adults), the AAAP/CO2 trap was not really successful. A total of 1 934 adult and 309 nymphal A. hebraeum were collected with the AAAP/CO2 trap.
A sample (n = 570) of the adult ticks collected from the Rietgat CGA (n = 434), the KNP (n = 88) and the SGR (n = 48) was tested for C. ruminantium with a specific PCR assay developed at the UFIUS AID/SADC Healtwater Research Project in Harare, Zimbabwe. Nearly nine per cent (8.9%) of the ticks from the Rietgat CGA, 5.7% from the KNP and 25% from the SGR were positive for C. ruminantium. The overall infection rate of 9.8% for the total sample (n = 570) is similar to others recorded in southern Africa.
This was the first time that a large, statistically-relevant sample of free-living, unfed adult A. hebraeum collected with a AAAP/C02 trap, from a variety of different ecological areas has been processed with a C. ruminantium-specific PCR. The epidemiological data from this project should be more credible than those from many of the previous surveys, where feeding ticks were collected off hosts, and indirect methods used to determine C. ruminantium prevalence.

This job is no longer available
Further information
A leading national multi-disciplinary Consultancy is looking to appoint two Project Architects (1-5 years post registration) to join their established commercial team based in Norwich due to an increasing workload.
Current demands on the company will see the Architect working on Residential projects ( £15million), although the successful candidate could also be involved in the practice's Master planning, Care and Education projects (primary, secondary and sports halls). The Architects will be involved in all build stages so must be confident at running jobs on site as well as from the office.
For this job the ideal candidates must have experience working on multimillion pound residential projects. Experience of the Education and Care sectors will be an advantage. The job will involve client facing, job running and site supervision so experience of these is a must. The company uses AutoCAD and is in the process of adopting Revit. The candidates will be expected to demonstrate design flair from feasibility to detailed design stages.
This is a great opportunity for a relatively junior Architect to be involved with running some large residential and education projects. A significant remuneration and benefits package is available for the right candidate.

PETA's New Infographic
PETA has a new infographic that's causing a stir amongst animal advocates. Here is the graphic:
And here are the sources that PETA used:
Eating Animals Info
All information included in The Truth About Eating Animals was obtained from the following sources. To find out more about how eating animals affects the animals themselves, the environment, and your health, we recommend the following list of resources:
Animals Killed
Environmental Defense Fund: "Fighting Global Warming With Food" Marcia Kreith, "Water Inputs in California Food Production," Water Education Foundation, 27 Sept. 1991. John Lang, Scripps Howard News Service, "U.S. Staggers Under Weight of Waste From Farm Animals," The Grand Rapids Press, 26 Apr. 1998.
Water Use
American Meat Institute, "The United States Meat Industry at a Glance" U.S. Department of Agriculture, "U.S. Soybean Industry: Background Statistics and Information" Water Education Foundation, "Water Inputs in California Food Production"
Salmonella and E. coli
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Salmonella Serotype Enteritidis" David White et al., "The Isolation of Antibiotic-Resistant Salmonella From Retail Ground Meats," The New England Journal of Medicine 345:1147-54, 18 Oct. 2001. U.S. Department of Agriculture: National Agricultural Library
Somatic Cells (Pus)
Hoard's Dairyman, "Somatic Cells Continue to Rise", 25 Apr. 2001.
Cardiovascular Disease
American Heart Association: "Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics"
Kerry K. Saunders, The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention, Lantern Books, 2003.
A few of these statistics are a bit controversial. For example, Erik Marcus of vegan.com wrote:
"The water claim is bogus. The feed conversion claim is deceptively worded. I analyzed both these topics in exhaustive detail in Meat Market five years ago. It's simply inexcusable for an organization with PETA's substantial resources to churn out this kind of crap [...]"
I'm not sure that Marcus realizes what PETA does. PETA is an animal advocacy group that focuses on marketing a pro-animal message to young people. PETA is NOT a news agency or a co-op of university professors. PETA is in the business of persuasion. PETA knows that the target audience for an "infographic" is not the same audience that is so inherently skeptical and rational that they'll read countless books and reports on a subject before finally coming to a decision about it.
It's silly, really. Marcus is angry that PETA didn't spend more time on fact checking, although I'm sure that he is well-aware of how inept real news media is at actual fact checking and I'm sure the citations PETA provided are more than sufficient for most people. The statistics are good enough. For whomever they're not good enough, that person will do the research and learn more horifying details about animal agriculture to be better persuaded to make major personal dietary changes that benefit animals, the planet, and their own health.
Maybe Marcus never heard the expression that "perfect is the enemy of good." Or maybe it's just cool to hate on PETA. Whatever the reason, how's about we all stop trying to hold each other to impossibly high standards and start accepting the good that each and every animal advocate does?

Village Elementary Smashes Summer Reading Challenge Record
When the students at Village Elementary School in Hilton, N.Y., were invited last March to compete in
Scholastic's Summer Reading Challenge
, little did they know that they would amass a whopping 895,317 reading minutes over the next four months, smashing the previous record of 683,057 minutes set in 2009.
"When the kids were told over the school's PA system that they had read the most minutes, the whole building just roared," said Debra Lynch, Village Elementary's School Media Specialist.
Village Elementary's 972 students – pre-kindergarten through sixth grade – tallied many of their reading minutes during class read-a-thons held in May and June. To keep excitement at a high level, school officials made regular public announcements, urging kids to track their reading time and providing frequent progress reports. A large bar chart in the library provided the faculty and students with a daily update of the school's cumulative reading minutes.
Learn how
students kept racking up those reading minutes.
Join Our Global Literacy Campaign
This fall, Scholastic will celebrate its 90th anniversary... nine decades of helping children learn and love to read. And as we begin the second decade of the 21st century, Scholastic is looking forward rather than back, recognizing that the children learning to read today will be the parents and the citizens of tomorrow. More and better reading will mean a better life for children and a better future for our society.
That's why we're launching
Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life.
, a global literacy campaign that underscores the importance of reading to better prepare children who will need strong literacy skills to survive and succeed in the 21st century. Scholastic is asking EVERYONE – our partners, publishers, educators, business leaders, nonprofits, parents, caregivers, and students – to help bring reading and deeper understanding to all children around the globe.
You can join our global literacy campaign and encourage children to read every day. Start by downloading the
Scholastic Reading Bill of Rights
, eight "beliefs" that affirm every child's right to read and what that means in the 21st century. Learn what you and your community can do to support reading through
action steps

Challenge Students to Read 100,000 Minutes
Can your students
minutes? It may sound like a big goal, but every time you host a Scholastic Book Fair, student reading minutes start to add up: 500 students x 30 minutes of reading x 7 days = 105,000 minutes!
And with READ 100,000, you can motivate your students to keep reading long after you've closed that last Book Fair case. Students simply log and track every minute they read throughout the year on our easy-to-use READ 100,000
, where you can download and print reproducible reading logs, flyers, and more.
Students can register and start tracking their reading minutes from now until April 30, 2011 – and before you know it, your school will be reading 100,000 minutes...or more!
Featured Books – Great Fall Reads
Along with our wide selection of books, Scholastic Book Fairs' seasonal

let your students meet vicariously with best-selling authors and illustrators from around the world. This fall, we interviewed the multiple award-winning Patricia McKissack about her new book
The Clone Codes
, co-
authored with her husband and son.
The Clone Codes
By Patricia McKissack, Fredrick McKissack, and John McKissack
In the year 2170, thirteen-year-old Leanna's entire life is thrown into chaos when her mother is arrested for taking part in an underground movement to free clones and cyborgs. As family secrets are revealed, Leanna must face startling truths about self-identity and freedom. Through time travel, advanced technologies, and artificial intelligence, this adventure asks what it means to be human and explores the sacrifices an entire society will make to find out.

Following a whirlwind of events surrounding the death of former Big brother star game contestant Goldie Harvey, a lot of revelations have come up since her demise starting with the emergence of her husband and the fact that Goldie may have stolen her best friend's husband.
Yesterday Kenya's rapper Prezzo who is still mourning the death of his alleged lover booked an air ticket back to Kenya after Andrew Harvey threatened him, ending his one month visit of Lagos where he was planning on shooting a reality TV show dubbed Tru Friendship which was sponsored by Goldie.
In an interview which was held on Saturday, Andrew told the media that Prezzo may not have known Goldie was a married woman but he now knows and we quote:
"But now he knows, the family and I would prefer he maintains a low profile and allow us to grieve our loss. The BBA game is over now,"
He further added that Goldie's family and himself do not want him (Prezzo) to attend her funeral since they were not comfortable with the new developments.
