Report of the Task Force on Zoonoses Data Collection on the Analysis of the baseline survey on the prevalence of Salmonella in slaughter pigs, in the EU, 2006-2007 [1] - Part A: Salmonella prevalence estimates
No abstract available
Salmonella is an important cause of food-borne illness in humans. Farm animals and foods of animal origin form an important source of human Salmonella infections. Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence of human salmonellosis in the European Union, Community legislation foresees the setting of Salmonella reduction targets for food-animal populations including slaughter pigs. To underpin such a target, a European Union-wide baseline survey was carried out to determine, at the point of slaughter, the prevalence of pigs infected with Salmonella. The pigs were randomly selected from those slaughterhouses that together accounted for 80% of pigs slaughtered within each Member State. This slaughterhouse survey was the fourth baseline survey to be conducted in the European Community.
The sampling of slaughter pigs took place between October 2006 and September 2007. All participating Member States and Norway sampled ileo-caecal lymph nodes from the selected slaughtered pigs. In total 19,159 slaughter pigs were sampled and 19,071 lymph node samples collected.
Twenty-four of the 25 participating Member States isolated Salmonella spp. from the lymph node samples, which resulted in a Community observed prevalence of Salmonella-positive slaughter pigs of 10.3%. This means that in the European Union at the point of slaughter one in ten slaughter pigs were estimated to be infected with Salmonella in the lymph nodes. The Salmonella prevalence in these slaughter pigs varied widely amongst the Member States, from 0.0% to 29.0%. All 24 Member States reporting Salmonella positive findings isolated Salmonella Typhimurium and 20 Member States detected Salmonella Derby, which are two common serovars found in Salmonella infection cases in humans. This resulted in an estimated Community observed prevalence of 4.7% for S. Typhimurium, varying from 0.0% to 16.1% within the Member States, and of 2.1% for S. Derby, varying from 0.0% to 6.5%.
From the pigs that had already been selected for sampling of lymph nodes, 13 Member States collected carcass swabs to determine the prevalence of external contamination with Salmonella. Data from this group of Member States showed that the observed prevalence of carcasses contaminated with Salmonella spp. was 8.3% overall, meaning that one in twelve carcasses were contaminated with Salmonella for this group of Member States. At the Member States' level, the prevalence of contaminated carcasses ranged from 0.0% to 20.0%.
In addition, 9 Member States additionally collected either meat juice or blood samples with the aim of investigating the prevalence of slaughter pigs with antibodies against Salmonella, indicating past exposure of the pig to Salmonella. These Member States used different laboratory antibody detection test kits and a comparison study done by the Community Reference Laboratory for Salmonella showed that the results of these different test methods were not comparable between the Member States. Therefore no overall prevalence of slaughter pigs with antibodies against Salmonella could be estimated for this group of Member States. At the Member States' level the prevalence of slaughter pigs with antibodies against Salmonella ranged from 3.5% to 33.3%.
The diversity of isolated Salmonella serovars in slaughter pig lymph nodes was big and in total 87 different serovars were isolated in the European Union. The five most frequently isolated Salmonella serovars from lymph nodes in the European Union were respectively in decreasing order S. Typhimurium, S. Derby, S. Rissen, S. 4,[5],12:i:- and S. Enteritidis. All these serovars, with the exception of S. Rissen, are frequent causes of Salmonella infections in humans within the European Union. S. Typhimurium and S. Derby serovars were highly predominant in lymph nodes; S. Typhimurium being the most common serovar, detected in 40.0% of the Salmonella-positive slaughter pigs and reported by all 24 Salmonella-positive Member States. S. Derby accounted also for an important proportion of positive lymph nodes (14.6%) and was reported by 20 Salmonella-positive Member States.
Together 30 different serovars were reported from the surface of the slaughter pig carcasses by the 13 Member States that carried out the test. The five most frequently isolated serovars from carcasses were respectively in decreasing order S. Typhimurium, S. Derby, S. Infantis, S. Bredeney and S. Brandenburg. The former three serovars are frequent causes of Salmonella infections in humans within the European Union. S. Typhimurium was the most common serovar isolated on the surface of the slaughter pig carcasses and detected in 49.4% of the Salmonella positive carcasses. The second most common serovar was S. Derby (24.3% of the positive carcasses). S. Typhimurium and S. Derby were also the most commonly reported ones in terms of the number of Member States, in total 10 of the 13 participating Member States.
Salmonella infection in slaughter pigs has the potential to translate into Salmonella contamination of pig meat and lead to human disease. Intervention to reduce the prevalence of infection in pigs may reduce the number of human salmonellosis cases. Safe handing of raw meat and thorough cooking are important measures to minimise human health risks from Salmonella contaminated pig meat.
The results of this baseline survey are suitable to be used for setting of targets for reduction of Salmonella in pigs. The Community legislation foresees setting of target for slaughter pigs regarding all Salmonella serovars with public health significance supported by a cost benefit analysis.

Hate to be a downer, but just because someone's college coach talks good about him doesn't mean he's going to be a superstar on the next level. There are plenty of players around the league who have great work ethic and love for the game. Bottom line is, if any of the 32 teams thought that he could be a guy who came in and had an impact on their defense, he would have been drafted a lot higher than he was. I realize that the saints have an incredible group of scouts that have hit bigtime on some undrafted players and late-round picks, but you can't expect all of them to be that way. I'd be more surprised if Bussey's college coach DIDN'T rave about him.
Gold Jersey,
I completely agree with everything you said in your past two posts. I was thinking Ellis might bring that one to the house too. You have to admit though, before he decided to cough it up, he had some pretty impressive moves with the ball in his hand for a big man. hahaha
Don't be such a prick about it. The Saints are 11-0 and on top of the league. People are just trying to enjoy that. And us talking about it isn't going to magically make the team slip up and lose games. Just take this season as it comes and have fun with it like everyone else.
I think this was a terrible move to trade back into the draft to get a punter. We dont even need a punter. That guy we picked up last year, Glenn Pakulak waskicking the ball a mile every time he got in. He is a very good punter. I'm not trying to rag on Morstead I'm just saying, we dont need him.
I cant really see Casillas starting as an undrafted rookie at linebacker, much less moving to safety and starting there. I Also think you need to swap Porter and Jenkins. With as good of a season as Porter was having before he got hurt, I dont know how he wouldnt have a starting spot. My starting defensive backfield would look more like this.
RCB - Porter
LCB - Greer
Nickel - Jenkins
Dime - Gay
SS - Harper (Vaughn may also get some PT)
FS - Sharper/Young (maybe Jenkins later on)
What's all this about scott fujita not being any good?
He's been one of our best defensive players ever since he got here. and before Vilma, he was our best one. We dont need anyone to replace Fujita, Shanle is another story. Shanle is slow and boring, we need another playmaker at LB, hopefully that will be Dan Morgan but you never know with him whether or not he'll make it through the season.
As far as cornerback goes, Tracy Porter was a beast last year before he got hurt. if Jabari Greer pans out well, we'll have two good starting corners with great depth behind them in Jenkins, Gay, and Jason David. as much as everyone likes to hate on David, he had a good season last year and he and Randall Gay stepped up in a big way when Porter and Mike McKenzie went down. I think we've done enough to upgrade the secondary, we could use another linebacker or d-lineman though.
I ment to say "if we can"
not "if we need to"
We need a power back. Bush and Thomas are nice, but when Duece was out last year we couldnt get those third and inches when we needed to. We need a big bruiser to replace Duece.
I also think that we should try to sign Sharper, Sensabaugh, and Bartell if we need to. That way we would have Tracy Porter and probably Bartell but maybe McKenzie at starting corners, and the we could have Sensabaugh at FS and Sharper and Roman Harper could rotate in and out at SS.

Thyrin ATC Review
What you should know
The manufacturers of Thyrin ATC say that their product will help optimize your thyroid function if used as part of your weight loss programme. They say that with Thyrin ATC, you will have guaranteed results which are unsurpassed in quality. They also say that numerous scientific studies have backed their claims. The thyroid is, of course, fundamental for so many functions of the body. It regulates a correct hormone balance, as well as weight. If there are problems with a person's thyroid functionality, the result can be either rapid weight loss or a rapid gain in weight depending on whether the body is producing too much or too little of a thyroid-stimulating hormone. Thyrin ATC claims to be formulated to maximize the thyroid's functionality.
The ingredients in Thyrin ATC, are Triphosphrin, Sodium, Potassium, Vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Manganese, Zinc, Selinium, Copper, Molybdeum,
Commiphora, Garcinia Cambogia, L-Tyrosine.
Product Details
The manufacturers of this product claim that by taking Thyrin ATC your thyroid function will be regulated and you will lose weight. They state that they have numerous scientific studies that back their claims. We could not find any of the scientific studies on Thyrin ATC that they are referring to. Of course if you take a supplement containing thyroid hormone your metabolism will be sped up, yet at what cost? Supplementing your body with thyroid hormone when your body does not actually have an under-active thyroid condition can lead to numerous side effects, which could possibly put your health in danger. At the end of the day you should only be taking thyroid hormone under the supervision of a physician. However, Thyrin ATC can be ordered online by anyone. The retail price of this product ranges from $23.95 to $39.95.
- The product can be ordered online.
- Thyrin ATC is reasonably priced.
- There are some testimonials available for this product.
- There is no official website for Thryin ATC.
- The manufacturers say that clinical studies have been carried out on Thyrin ATC, but we could find none to back up their claims.
- Thyroid hormone should only be taken under the supervision of a physician, when laboratory tests indicate that it is needed.
- Supplementing with thyroid hormone when someone does not in fact have an under-active thyroid can be dangerous and can lead to serious consequences such as a heart attack.
At the end of the day a thyroid problem that is contributing to weight gain should be treated by seeing a physician and not by self medicating with a diet pill like Thyrin ATC. There can be many reasons why a thyroid is not functioning as it should, such a thyroid cancer, and only a qualified physician can properly assess the reason. There are plenty of other weight loss products that deliver results without altering the functionality of the thyroid gland, and we would definitely choose one of those, both for effectiveness and safety.

The region is the most populous and one of the most rapidly growing in the country. The region's population as at the last census is 3,612,950, representing 19.1 per cent of the country's population. Its share of the national population increased steadily from 16.5 per cent in 1960 to 17.3 per cent in 1970 but remained almost the same (17.0%) in 1984 before increasing to its current level (19.1%).
The region's population growth rate was 2.9 per cent per annum in 1970, dropped to 2.5 per cent per annum in 1984 and increased to 3.4 per cent in 2000, 1.3 times higher than the national average growth rate of 2.7 percent. The population growth rate of the region in 2000 is the second highest in the country, after the Greater Accra Region (4.4%).
Although the region is the most populous, its density (148.1/sqkm) is lower than those of the Greater Accra (895.5/sq km) and the Central (162.2/sq km) Regions.
A number of factors, particularly high fertility and migration, may account for the rapid population growth in the region. The Total Fertility Rate, (TFR) which measures the number of children a woman in her reproductive age, would give birth to, is high (4.8), compared with the national average of 4.0.
The completed fertility by women 15-49 years (5.6) is lower than the TFR by 0.8; which implies a slightly lower current fertility schedule. The other reason for the growth is the centrality of the region and its economic potentials in the cocoa and mining industries, which attract people from other parts of the country to the region.
Age And Sex StructureThere are slightly more males (50.3%) than females (49.7%) in the region. This translates into a sex ratio of 101.3 males to 100 females in 2000. In 1960, the male population (51.2%) also exceeded that of females (48.8%) but in 1970 and 1984, the female population exceeded that of males.
The region has a youthful population with about two-fifths (41.9%) below 15 years of age. This proportion has declined consistently from 1970 (49.3%) and 1984 (45.3%), an indication of a decline in fertility. On the other hand, the proportion of the population aged 65 years and older has increased from 2.5 per cent in 1960 to 3.0 per cent in 1970 and 3.6 per cent in1984 to the current level of 6.1 per cent in 2000.
Rural-Urban PopulationThe urban population (51.3%) in the region exceeds that of the rural population (48.7%). The region is currently the second most urbanized in the country, after Greater Accra (87.7%). The growth of the mining industry in Obuasi and the increase in commercial activities in Kumasi may account partly for the relatively high urban population in the region.
One other factor that has also contributed to the high urban population in the region is the growth in some of the localities which were hitherto considered as rural settlements, but have now attained urban status (localities with population of 5000 and above).
For example, Atimatim in the Kawabre district, which had a population of 836 in 1970 and 1,123 in 1984, increased to 14,017 in 2000. Ahwiaa also in Kwabre, has grown from 2,110 in 1970 to a large town of 19,729. Both have grown mainly due to population spillover. Abuakwa in the Atwima district has grown from a small village of 970 people in 1970 to the largest town in the district, with a population of 16,582 in 2000, mainly due to to the establishment of industries such as the cocoa pesticide formulation plant and the Darko Farms.
In the Kumasi metropolis itself, areas such as Ayigya, Dikyemso (Dichemso) and Tarkwa Maakro, which were small communities in 1960 and 1970, have grown into densely populated residential areas with 20- 40,000 people.
MigrationMigration is one of the three important factors of population change in a locality. Over the years, the region has attracted migrants from within and outside the country because of its economic potentials and its centrality as a nodal region.
The non-migrant population of the region is 66.8 percent, having increased from 58.3 per cent in 1960, 56.8 per cent in 1970 and 63.8 per cent in 1984. Both the proportions of the intra-regional and inter regional movements decreased almost steadily from 1960.
The proportion of the intra-regional migrants decreased from 21.4 per cent in 1960 to 13.1 per cent in 2000, while the proportion of the interregional migrants also decreased from 20.3 per cent in 1960 to 11.1 per cent in 2000.
Place Of Birth Of PopulationAbout four-fifth (79.9%) of the population in the region were born in the region. This is 3.5 percentage points lower than in 1984. However, there are relatively more Ghanaians by birth and parenthood born in the locality of enumeration in 2000 (66.8%) than in 1984 (63.7%).
Whereas the proportion of the population born in another locality in the same region decreased by 6.6 percentage points, between 1984 and 2000, the proportion born in other regions during the same period increased by 1.9 percentage points. Ghanaians by birth in the region, born outside the country, increased for those born in ECOWAS and other African countries.

Kids love building blocks and kids love picture puzzles. So why not combine the two and make a picture puzzle with building blocks. This is a great project for kids. They can help build it and then they can play with it.
Step 1: Materials
Building Blocks (any style will work)
Printable Sticker Paper (full sheets work best)
Sharp Knife
Bar Clamp (optional)
Small Wooden Bar (optional)
Step 2: Select a Picture
The first thing that you need to do is choose a picture to use for the puzzle. You can use one of your kid's favorite characters, or you can take a picture of their favorite animal. Use your imagination.
Step 3: Print Out the Picture on Sticker Paper
Now you need to print out the picture on sticker paper. You can find full sheet of printable sticker paper in the office supply section of most big-box stores like Walmart. Load the paper into your printer and print the picture. Then use a pair of scissors to trim off the border around the picture.
Step 4: Make a Large Block Frame for the Picture
Make a large rectangle of blocks that is the same size as the picture.
Step 5: Clamp the Blocks Together (optional)
To ensure that the blocks are stuck together evenly it may help to clamp them between two pieces of wood. However this is entirely optional.
Step 6: Apply the Sticker to the Block
Now you need to apply the sticker to the blocks. Peel off the backing in one corner. Then line that corner up with the corner of the blocks. Slowly apply the sticker to the blocks. Use your hand to press the sticker and smooth it out as you go.
Step 7: Use a Knife to Trim Any Excess Around the Sides
If the picture goes over the edge of the blocks, use your knife to trim off the excess.
Step 8: Cut Along the Rows of Blocks
Now you are ready to begin cutting out the blocks. Start by cutting along the rows of blocks. You can just stick your knife into the grove between the blocks and drag it along the row.
Step 9: Cut Out the Individual Block
Once the rows of blocks are separated, you can cut out the individual blocks. On the end row, use your knife to cut along the grove between the blocks. Then carefully remove the blocks one at a time. Repeat this with each row until all the blocks are separated.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Looks so fun!
Very clear steps! Thanks for posting...can't wait to try this. :)
This is a great idea! You could even do a puzzle on both sides to make it even harder!

continued Arts Trek is the series of free children's programs held each summer by the guild.
"With a new audience about every five or six years, the 30-year history means that Arts Trek has entertained and impacted about five generations of younger children to date," Burdick said.

Source Natures Healing Role in Art and Writing
written by Janine Burke
Allen and Unwin | ISBN 9781741758177
Hardback – 480 pages
Member's price: $49.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
For the artists and writers in this book - Claude Monet, Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Karen Blixen, Ernest Hemingway, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso and Emily Kame Kngwarreye - the act of recreating Eden was a life-changing, art-making, healing rite that becomes both a map of their careers and an index of their subject matter. What unites these artists and writers is a journey of return, of rediscovery, that leads them to the creation of a personal paradise. Upon arriving at that place, whether it was Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico, Monet in Giverny or Picasso in Provence, iconic new work emerged, inspired by that terrain, from its light, its colours, its landscape. Each of these artists had recovered the place they'd been unconsciously seeking for years. In this engaging and ground-breaking book, Janine Burke explores how art and landscape, love and companionship, home and garden are entwined. Nature is culture, and its most insistent inspiration.

"Last night at K.Michelle's birthday party, Stevie J showed his ass," Ariane says in this sneak peek of Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta's second episode. "I was embarrassed. That ain't even my d—."
Never change, Ariane! Seriously, she's the lone voice of reason on this show right now. Ariane sits down with Mimi to discuss what happened at the party and to point out the obvious fact that Stevie J and Joseline's relationship is personal and professional. "Clearly," Mimi says. But still, Mimi is in love with Stevie and Ariane wants to help her break her addiction to him. Watch the full clip above to get an early look at this week's episode — if you thought the premiere was intense, I have to warn you, it's only going to get crazier. Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Look for Heritage Organic Seeds / Farmers only way around GMO's. As for corn good luck finding any such thing I believe non gmo corn has been wiped from the planet by Monsanto.
Read about the terminator seeds, cant wait for the animals to pollinate these plants.
Way to go Monsanto - NOT !
Evil at work ...
I recommend BJs for their organic meats now i can add local produce - now if they can partner up with organic produce farms that would be an even bigger plus !
now let voters decide whether the legislature and other politicians receive a raise, what they should earn a year and put them on salary or hourly pay. think how much money we would save right away.
still waiting for corslime to serve time for stealing from us poor slobs and indentured servants
so then how is it the state does not qualify for the funds from the feds for the unemployment extensions ? something is not adding up here.
union = fair wages, jobs for citizens, and safety for large groups working for big corps.
why reiinvent the wheel and pay for it when money is not growing on trees. Follow the collingswood model and bring stores that bring in shoppers from the surrounding areas. 55K for someone to just possibly bring in a lame grocery store is a waste.
DREAM PARK has plenty of room
enjoy it now until they start drilling in your backyard and contaminate your water then you will chime another tune for sure
increasing costs is not going to give them an 'edge' on comcast, especially in this economy.
of course it is not mentioned or challenged friends helping friends and I am sure those are protecting themselves in the process. It is not in the best interest of "the children" anyhow lol.
oh the status quo will never change unless those ban together that are in the unions nationwide.
what caught my eye is that the township did not use as much water as expected thus creating a shortfall. um did we not conserve water as part of the restrictions WT* how can you ask someone to conserve yet expect them to use more ?
no what isnt fair is the property taxes period they are the largest in the country. what can be done to decrease them and prevent them from increasing even more ?
Do you find this sickening ?
"Gloucester County has one of the highest median property tax rates in the United States, and is ranked 30th of the 3145 counties in order of average property taxes."
[ www [dot] tax-rates [dot] org/new_jersey/gloucester_county_property_tax ]
if you are not home to watch tv why pay for cable 150 bucks plus each month. if you cant afford to eat out you cook and eat at home. money is tight you dont go on vacation if you have trouble filling the car to get to work each week. stop using the township residents property tax bill like a credit card and blank checkbook.
to see where mickleton is going take a ride out to mount laurel and marlton just look around because that is what is going to happen if the status quo goes on. get rid of the waste, stop hemorrhaging farmland, anything any ideas. with over 800 kids below the age of 5 in our township, who knows what the additional 92 townhomes will bring. did we not just approve to expand the schools, what is going to happen when these kids move on up to kindergarten ?
If rateables keep property taxes down then why are the taxes in marlton so high ? i dont buy into it, it just like mortgage interest write off fallacy.
[ www [dot] nj [dot] com/gloucester-county/index.ssf/2011/12/east_greenwich_school_board_be.html ]
better yet let them follow taxpayers on the job the normal 52 weeks @ 40+ hours on our job not just p/t @ 180 days, let them also see the 30% pay cut, high insurance deductibles and the extra work we are left with as a result of those who have been let go.
hey big government stay the hell out of my personal life i have had enough thank you. and gee lets stop selling liquor and pharmaceuticals, or better yet lets stop giving our children vaccines laden with mercury and other 'good stuff'. oh wait even better stop pouring apple juice with arsenic to our kids and not to mention the onslaught of pesticides and gmo's doing who knows what to our bodies.
raw milk - raw honey - its all the same at least they can say that it was natural. there is a reason that some people get sick and some people die from food, bee stings even the flu. let's leave mother nature alone too thank you.
where is the outcry against sodomy in the seminaries, against using aborted fetus in the manufacturing of vaccinations, lack of catholic book publications no longer used in private schools ?
it is what Christmas stands for does not make sense anyone is offended.
not for nothing but isnt this what christmas is supposed to be about in the first place ?
who is being paid by whom to do the official classifications ?
students will get pushed into special education because the school system needed more funding and special education cannot be denied.

King of the Mountain
Charlie likes to get on the picnic table and act like he's king of the mountain.
It's an alpha dog thing.
Walter knows this, and likes to mess with him.
Hey, Chuck! What if I got up on your table like this?
Grrrrr…growwwwwlll….get offa my mountain!
*Cough*…*gasp*…Walter! Ever hear of deodorant?!?
Oh my. I have to say, this is very exciting to watch.
Okay, so between the last photo and this photo, Charlie politely informed Walter that this was his table, not Walter's, and that it would be best for all parties involved if Walter would kindly remove himself from the table's surface.
Okay, so maybe he wasn't that polite.
But Walter didn't mind. He just started messing with Charlie again.
Hey, Chuck! What if I got up on your table like this?
This pretty much went on for over an hour.
Then they went to bed and slept for two days.

Love that you share pictures of the the animals, and share their thoughts with us.
I have only begun Christmas shopping in my mind. I have been searching for just the right do dad's for the girls at work, and it's been a brain teaser. Haven't given a thought about what to buy for the grandkids, or any one else.

Hi Ree, I am 66 years old and by this time last year I was finished with shopping. As of Thanksgiving I have maxed out my AE and have half of my shopping done. Except my precious husband of 48 years. Don't have a clue yet. Love your cookbooks and your show.
Margie Lauver On Wednesday, November 28 at 5:32 pm
Love the pictures of the dogs! I've always wanted a Bassett Hound and if I ever get one, I'm naming him Obediah. Just seems like a good name for one.
A while back, PW, you posted directions or a site or link to make fleece blankets that tie together, and it was a neater, easier way than usually is used. I've searched your site and Tasty Kitchen, and can't find it. I thought I bookmarked it, but can't find it. Would it be possible to post that again? I had planned on making them for my kids for Christmas.
If anyone else knows what I'm talking about ( I don't think I dreamed it!), my email is [email protected].
Thanks in advance!

Too FUNNY!!!
Christine Somers On Thursday, November 29 at 9:24 am
We had a basset hound when I was younger and while I don't remember him being territorial, I do remember he was a wanderer. Just about the time we thought he was gone for good, he would show up hungry and smelly. Basset hounds are good dogs and yours can play a mean game of King of the Mountain.
Reenie On Thursday, November 29 at 9:58 am
Too cute!!
Miss Jean On Thursday, November 29 at 11:39 am
Thanks for the pictures and story with Walter in it. I was really concerned that he was going to have a self-worth problem living in Charlie's shadow and not getting the same media attention.
Nicole On Thursday, November 29 at 11:44 am
I love it! So cute, I love watching my pets play.
The other day my friends and I watched a bunch of seals on a dock for hours. There wasn't room for all of them to fit on the dock, so we watched some succeed and some fail. It was actually fun.
Allison S. On Thursday, November 29 at 12:08 pm
This post makes me so happy and I wish I could leave work and go snuggle my sammer bear and play with his velvet ears (b/c we all know velvet ears are the best).

Leslie in Muskogee On Thursday, November 29 at 2:12 pm
I think it's a Basset Hound thing!
We've had three Bassets, over the years, and they all loved getting on the picnic table.
Now, we have two Boston Terriers. Neither of them get on the table, unless we coax them.
Sarah On Thursday, November 29 at 2:16 pm
Yay, Walter made an appearance! I love the 2 dogs together. We have both Charlie books. My 14 month old son loves the first one (just started reading the 2nd one). I practically can read it without even looking at the pages because I've read it to him so many times.
Sue Cole On Thursday, November 29 at 2:31 pm
I love these pictures! As a Basset Foster parent I see this thing all the time between my permanent Dogs and my fosters! There is just something about a Basset though!
Kathy S. On Thursday, November 29 at 2:37 pm
Good ol Chuck, he has George, McCormick and Buster to deal with, not only Walter. This reminds me of when I was a kid and this goes back to the 60's there was a game we played king of the hill. Good Charlie just keep that spot — you can do it!!!
Kari@Loaves n Dishes On Thursday, November 29 at 3:30 pm
Aah, Charlie and Walter. One day they'll look back at this and laugh, as they reminisce about the days when they could still get up on the table.
Kari@Loaves n Dishes On Thursday, November 29 at 3:33 pm
I only say that because, I remember when I could climb mountains and big ol' hills without getting short of breath. The good old days.
Lisa Hinrichs On Thursday, November 29 at 4:28 pm
Charlie and Walter always bring a ray of light to my day. It makes me really want one of my own.
BTW, I noticed that there was a second picnic table in the background. Just like kids, they always want what the otherone has even if there is another one availble.

Oh, if Charlie could only meet my Ollie. I think they would be best friends.
Ana On Thursday, November 29 at 8:22 pm
Ha! Great storytelling.
Jayne On Friday, November 30 at 2:03 am
haha… dogs are funny things. Cracks me up every time I see one chasing his tail. I can watch that for hours and not get bored.
Donna O. On Friday, November 30 at 4:30 am
Love the dog picture's!!
Thank you for sharing them with us.
Jen@whenpigsfly On Friday, November 30 at 7:10 am
I love the dog pics! I've got a Bernese Mountain Dog and a German Wire Hair Pointer that constantly tumble around. They are a huge source of entertainment.
Jayne On Friday, November 30 at 11:23 am
Love the way you made a story out of this. I don't think I would have thought about taking pictures and telling a story. Your story reminded me of the stories my dad used to tell me about the dog he had when he was growing up. I do wish I had gotten the gift of story telling from him. He could paint a word picture that was so real. I was an adult before I really thought about how much of his stories were make-believe. haha

Oh, they are so cute!!!
Nancy On Saturday, December 1 at 8:38 am
Children and the animals make this world such an amazing place! Thank you for sharing this fun Charlie and Walter story – it made my day!
TMJ On Saturday, December 1 at 8:49 am
Ha! Reminds me of our dog and cat. The dog (being much bigger) likes to threaten our cat with sudden jumps and quick movements. It's all a game…she just likes to see the cat run. Because we all know…she is actually terrified of the cat! Hides behind my legs if the cat gets too close.
Gotta love em'.

cheryl On Saturday, December 1 at 4:12 pm

Miss Jean On Sunday, December 2 at 10:32 am
Yay! A story about Walter!!! I was so worried about his self esteem and living in Charlie's shadow!!
Michelle G On Sunday, December 2 at 4:49 pm
My fiance and I couldn't stop laughing at this post. We have a 6 month old basset hound puppy who acts like Charlie, and then sleeps all day long!
Alexandra On Monday, December 3 at 5:36 am
Our two Scotties are pretty much as your two guys! No picnic tables here, but the feeling of who's #1 is the same. I often whisper to them "I am the Alpha dog!" just to make sure they get that right.
Janette On Monday, December 3 at 8:10 am
Our precious dog Mr. Wilson passed away a few weeks ago. He was a fun, happy but old beagle. Due to your pictures of Charlie, my kids want him!! Thanks for being so fun.
Kathleen @ksugarandspice On Monday, December 3 at 11:27 pm
Charlie is surprisingly a feisty one. Wonder what he would do a top a hay bale with Walter?
Em On Tuesday, December 4 at 1:07 am
I bought Charlie and the Christmas Kitty and my boys absolutely love it they are 6 and 3!!
Elfgreen On Wednesday, December 5 at 2:04 pm

Brooke On Saturday, December 8 at 10:47 pm
Your dog, Charlie, makes me want a puppy like him! He seems so relaxed and is so cute!
onebondgirl On Sunday, December 16 at 8:20 pm
I had a basset hound named Ruby, she was my best friend. She loved eating nothing but meat. She starved herself waiting to get something better than her dog food many many times. She passed away last year, but she's still in my heart…always…..and forever. By the way, Charlie and Walter are so cute; I love seeing them on your show.
Cheryl Solorzano On Monday, December 17 at 2:46 pm
I found this to be very entertaining. My 2 boxers do the same things. Got love it….
Becki On Wednesday, December 19 at 10:49 am
We have two hounds….as of about three weeks ago. Our son found one wandering the neighborhood, like it was meant to be. Ever since then I've had several friends tell me I need to follow your blog. I'm sure glad I've found it!
Nancie On Wednesday, December 19 at 11:10 am
Oh I must have another basset now… Walter is my Peanut who we rescued a year ago this New Years Eve They look so very much the same except your Walter has more glorious droops to his face. Peanut is still very much the pup at 2 1/2 yrs old.. the droops are works in progress with him. Now how to convince my husband that another *talking* dog is what we need around here.
Tracy S. On Tuesday, January 1 at 12:14 am
My husband and I had two Basset Hounds – brothers out of the same litter – Tex and Sparky. They both lived to be 16. Sadly we lost them within months of each other a couple of years ago. Just the "conversations" you have with them alone are great not to mention their lovable natures. All that moaning and groaning and grunting to get their points across. Bassets are the best!
Terry On Monday, January 7 at 1:37 pm
I just love Charlie, and had to find out more about him on your website. My son and I read Charlie the Ranch Dog every night, and I'm going to get the latest Charlie and the Christmas Kitty book today. So excited!! Thank you for sharing in your books and also these pics and stories of the real Charlie.
veronica garza On Wednesday, January 9 at 8:01 pm
My 6yr old son Aidan loves your two books! And wants to know when is the next one coming out! Lol! We have a Basset named Charlie also & my son swears they r related! We also enjoy seeing the cute pics!
Caitlynn On Friday, January 11 at 1:43 am

May On Saturday, February 9 at 5:56 pm
I haven't seen any posts about Walter lately. I hope he is doing well.
Vicky On Wednesday, March 6 at 7:49 pm
We have two Bassests one red and white Mr. Dudley and a tri color Mr. Winston, Dudley is like Charlie he rules the roost.

By asking the United Nations to recognize Palestinian independence, Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority have abandoned the peace process in the hope the international community will give them what they want without having to make peace with Israel. That puts Abbas' Western cheering section in a bind, because it is impossible to look at his strategy or his UN speech without understanding the fundamental disconnect between their position and any hope for peace. But that hasn't stopped many of them from attempting to turn the facts on their head by blaming the whole mess on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is an easy target among the foreign policy establishment and other members of the chattering classes because he refuses to play along with the myth of Palestinian reasonableness that is such an integral part of the peace process mindset. William Saletan provided an excellent example of this willful blindness in a piece published this week in Slate. In it, he preposterously claims the standoff is all a clever plot by Netanyahu to obfuscate the truth about Abbas' desperate search for peace that is every bit as disingenuous as the Palestinian's hate-filled speech to the General Assembly.
Saletan breaks down Netanyahu's diabolical attack on peace to four points. The first is his claim the Israeli is wrong to say the Palestinians won't negotiate, even though that is the obvious truth. Even during the 10 months when, at the behest of the Obama administration, Netanyahu froze building in the West Bank, Abbas wouldn't talk with him.
Saletan asserts that a few secret meetings with Israeli President Shimon Peres in which the Palestinians have refused to agree to any terms or to resume formal negotiations is itself a form of negotiation. He then says Abbas' end run around the peace process to the UN is also merely a negotiating tactic. In other words, Abbas' lips may say "no," but Saletan advises the Israelis to believe he really means "yes." With that sort of logic, one supposes Saletan must have a lot of fans among male college students who haven't had much success with women.
Next, Saletan dismisses Israel's insistence the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state as a mere pretext for avoiding peace. Saletan says the PLO recognized Israel's existence in the Oslo Accords, and it's none of the Palestinians' business how Israel defines itself. But he is deliberately missing the point. So long as the Palestinians won't acknowledge the legitimacy of a Jewish state no matter where its borders are drawn, Israelis have no guarantee a peace deal isn't an interim step that will merely postpone the next round of fighting. Saletan says negotiating a resolution of the Palestinian claim that the descendants of the 1948 refugees can "return" to Israel doesn't mean the Arabs have to say the words "Jewish state." But they must do so, because without that Palestinians will never construe any peace agreement as an end to the century-old conflict.
In a particularly dishonest passage, Saletan claims Israel's peace treaty with Jordan (which has no mention of the "Jewish state" issue) proves Netanyahu's insistence on this point is a pretext. But it does no such thing. Jordan and Israel can be at peace because the Hashemite Kingdom's existence isn't predicated on wiping out its neighbor. Since the focus of Palestinian nationalism has always been the eradication of Israel, they must specifically abandon this quest. The United Nations sanctioned the creation of a specifically "Jewish state" alongside an Arab one in Mandatory Palestine in the 1947 partition resolution that was categorically rejected by the Arab and Muslim worlds. If the Palestinians want to finally retract that refusal, one of the things they will have to accept is this language.
This point is directly related to Saletan's third charge, which is that Netanyahu's harping about Abbas' belief that all of Israel is occupied Palestinian territory is a ploy to blow up the chances for peace. The Israeli rightly noted that for Abbas to say there has been 63 years of "occupation" gives the lie to the notion the conflict is just about the West Bank and Jerusalem or settlements. Saletan argues that Abbas has already said he will concede Israel's title to pre-1967 Israel, and this should end the discussion. But so long as the Palestinians hold onto an irredentist ideology that sees all of Israel as land that must be recovered, peace is impossible. If Abbas wants Israelis to believe they are not just giving up land that will be used, as was the case with Gaza in 2005, as a launching pad for terrorist attacks on what is left of Israel, then he must sing a very different tune.
Lastly, Saletan argues the reduction of terrorist attacks against Israelis in the West Bank in the past few years proves Abbas means what he says about peace. But lowering the toll of Jewish casualties had little or nothing to do with Abbas and everything to do with the security fence and the aggressive Israeli army patrols and checkpoints in the West Bank. The circumstances that led to the quiet in the West Bank in the past few years after the mayhem of the second intifada that preceded it would be dramatically altered by a Palestinian state. If the IDF no longer had the ability to roam the area, that would allow terror groups — both those run by Abbas' Fatah Party and Hamas — to do whatever they wanted. That would inevitably mean more Jewish blood shed, but it would also doom Abbas, because the only thing that prevents the sort of coup that won Gaza for Hamas in the West Bank is Israel's military. It isn't Abbas who keeps the peace now, and the idea he would do so in the future without the help of the IDF and with Hamas still in control of Gaza is absurd.
The refusal of the Palestinians to negotiate and to be willing to give up the conflict remains the only real obstacle to peace. Abbas proved in 2008 when he rejected Ehud Olmert's offer of a state that he had the power to end the conflict against the will of his people or Hamas. That's why he went to the UN rather than back to the negotiating table. Fallacious attacks on Netanyahu such as those produced by Saletan may help obscure the truth about the Palestinians, but they cannot alter the truth about the situation.

Has this happened to you?
I couldn't stomach the glucose test for diabetes this morning. After getting blood drawn, then chugging that disgusting Kool-Aid type drink--which has more than twice the caffeine of a Coke--I held it down for 30 minutes.My daughter was kicking up a storm inside me.
Suddenly, I could hold it down no more. Mouth watering out of control, I suddenly had to run to the waiting room garbage can to upchuck that vile vial of pink drink.
I went home and passed out for two hours, and have been sick all day even after two meals. I even had a nightmare that I miscarried. Ugh! Maybe my daughter was wiped out by the sugar rush too, since she hasn't been kicking.
I need to take this test again. But how can I hold down that drink for TWO HOURS? My doctor said there's no substitute drink.
What happens if you just can't take this test?
I called my dr. and said I can't keep missing two hours of work every morning to re-take the test, but she said keep trying and if it fails after 5 times or something, we'll figure something out. That seems like an outrageous number of times to force me through this torture.

Friedkin is a mixed-media artist who takes objects that have washed ashore from the river onto the beach at Horan's Landing and transforms them in her art.

The Importance of Being Earnest at the Harold Pinter Theatre
March 10, 2014
An all-star cast including Nigel Havers, Sian Phillips, Martin Jarvis and Cherie Lunghi lead this revival of Oscar Wilde's witty comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
Oscar Wilde's sparkling comedy The Importance of Being Earnest returns to the West End this summer is a brand new production directed by Lucy Bailey (Fortune's Fool) and designed by William Dudley.
Lucy Bailey's production imagines a fictional Bunbury Players putting on the show, as they have done for decades! The players may be getting older and older, but they have grown into the roles, with hilarious effect!
Running from 27 June to 20 September 2014 at the Harold Pinter Theatre, the production features a dazzling cast of some of Britain's best-loved stage and screen stars.
An all-star cast features Rosalind Ayres (Outnumbered) as Miss Prism, Niall Buggy (Uncle Vanya) as Reverend Chasuble, Nigel Havers (Downton Abbey) as Algernon, Martin Jarvis (Endeavour) as Jack, Christine Kavanagh (Basket Case) as Cecily, Cherie Lunghi (The Manageress) as Gwendolen and Siân Phillips (Marlene) as Lady Bracknell.
Oscar Wilde's much loved masterpiece opens as two bachelors, the dependable John Worthing J.P. and upper class playboy Algernon Moncrieff, create different identities for themselves in order to pursue two eligible young ladies: Cecily Cardew and Gwendolyn Fairfax. The hilarious misadventures which result from their subterfuge, including brushes with the inimitable Lady Bracknell and the uptight Miss Prism, makes for a plot full of twists and some of the wittiest and most sparkling dialogue ever written for the stage.

I did some recipe testing to get these cookies just right. I came across on the internet called for powered sugar and 6 egg whites. I found these cookies to be too soft and flimsy. The recipe I use is much more authentic!
Step 1: Ingredients
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of milk chocolate - can use semi-sweet
Makes 50 cookies (25 milanos)
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
Mix in flour. I slowly mixed in 1/4 cup of flour at a time.
Step 3: Pipe Cookies and Bake
Put cookie dough in a plastic bag zip lock bag. Cut a 3/4" hole at the corner of the bag.
Cover cookie tray with wax paper. Pipe cookie dough onto paper. Each cookie should be about 2" long. Use your finger to flatten out the cookie so you have long flat oval cookies (about 1/4" thick).
Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Take out when the bottoms start to brown.
Step 4: Apply Chocolate
I used a chocolate Hershey's bars for my chocolate.
Once the cookies are out of the oven and have cooled for 10-15 minutes, use a knife to spread the chocolate on the flat side of the cookies. Spread a thin layer on each cookie and place the cookies in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes.
Join two cookies together by adding another thin layer of chocolate between two cookies. Again, place in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes.
Parchment paper, or a silicone mat for me. You'd be surprised at how much you can save with a silicone mat over the lifetime of the mat... Mine cost me $15 for two--10 years ago. Still going strong. I will take a little over a dollar per year.
Now I want to try it out for myself, but there actually are two questions remaining:
1) Which kind of butter did you use? (Churned, sweet, cultured, light, ...)
2) Which kind of oven was used? (Gas, convection, upper/lower heat, ...)
Well - any help is appreciated ;-)
PS: Thanks for this nice recipe :-D

Do you find yourself at the end of each week with a virtual or literal pile of insightful articles and white papers to read? I'll bet you were super excited to delve in when you first saw the links but, as the material piled up, you realized there is no possible way you can actually read everything? Well that is how my weekends typically begin.
With that in mind, we're introducing a new feature that is a weekly compilation of the best industry articles we have read in the past week. Instead of wading through your ambitious collection, you can simply scan our highlights.
Enjoy the reading and please share with us any articles you think are on point or SMB marketing topics you want us to cover.
How to Breathe New Life Into Your Marketing With Visual Content
This was very timely because we are always trying to turn words into visuals to improve our online marketing. Recently, we spent extra time and attention on PowerPoint presentations. We are on the same page with Allyson Galle, who notes that "Most people don't have any trouble coming up with ways to integrate visual content into their social strategy . . . But you should be thinking about the role visual content plays in all of your marketing channels." That includes organic search, email marketing and more. The cliche is that a picture is worth 1,000 words but it is more true than ever today with our increasingly short attention spans! Thank goodness for Mel!
Seven Effective Ways to Integrate Social, Local, and Mobile
Social media is being accessed by mobile and searches for local businesses are being conducted on mobile phones. As Tom Shapiro notes, "People are not just social or local or mobile, they're all three, so your efforts must be integrated accordingly." But how do you do it all at the same time?(Note my persistent theme of not enough time!) He offers seven tips such as customize, be searchable, encourage sharing and more. He makes the juggling act seem fairly straightforward.
HOW Magazine's 14th Annual Interactive Design Competition
If you are especially proud of designs your or your team created, enter the HOW Magazine's Interactive Design Awards. They recognize spotlight interactive, blog, app and website design. Awards include a feature in HOW's March 2013 issue and a discount towards the HOW web design conference or HOW Design Live. The deadline for entering is 7/1/12. We're definitely motivated to find ways to get our team members and designs recognized.
Adobe CS6: What You Need to Know About Photoshop CS6
There's a new version of Adobe's Creative Suite but the big difference is the pricing and delivery. For just $49.99 per month, you join Adobe's new Creative Cloud service, which entitles you to download and use the entire Creative Suite. If you are already using CS3, CS4, CS5 or CS5.5, the first year's membership is only $29.99 per month. These fees apply if you agree to a full-year membership, which is paid on a monthly basis. In contrast to the master collection at $2,600, this seems like a pretty good deal for a small company or design firm. I hope these articles helped you. There is already another pile waiting for next week's post (Hey, don't mock me because I have to print them out--I'm never bored at the doctor's office or supermarket! Unmana, stop laughing.). Please share any great sources you read like Hubspot that consistently publish strong content. I've got a vacation coming up and I sense I'll have a lot of business reading to do.

To make sure that you do not lose access to your student loan, review all of the terms before signing the paperwork. If you do not register for enough credit hours each semester or do not maintain the correct grade point average, your loans can be at risk. Know the fine print!
If you are in a position to do so, sign up for automated student loan payments. Certain lenders offer a small discount for payments made the same time each month from your checking or saving account. This option is recommended only if you have a steady, stable income. Otherwise, you run the risk of incurring hefty overdraft fees. To bring in the greatest returns on your student loan, get the most out of each day at school. Instead of sleeping in until a few minutes before class, and then running to class with your binder and notebook flying, wake up earlier to get yourself organized. You'll get better grades and make a good impression.
To keep the amount of debt you incur from student loans to a minimum, take advanced placement and/or dual credit courses when you are still in high school. You essentially have to pay for less hours thanks to getting college credits while still in high school. Don't worry if you can't make a payment on your student loan due to a job loss or another unfortunate circumstance. Many lenders give you a grace period if you are able to prove that you are having difficulties. Your interest may increase if you do this. Would you like to attend school, but because of the high price tag it is something you haven't considered before? Relax, there are many student loans out there that can help you afford the school you would like to attend. No matter your age and financial situation, almost anyone can get approved for some type of student loan. Keep reading to find out how! If you have taken a student loan out and you are moving, be sure to let your lender know. It is important for your lender to be able to contact you at all times. They will not be too happy if they have to go on a wild goose chase to find you. To make sure that your student loan money does not go to waste, put any funds that you personally receive into a special savings account. Only go into this account when you have a financial emergency. This helps you keep from dipping into it when it's time to go to a concert, leaving your loan funds intact.
For those having a hard time with paying off their student loans, IBR may be an option. This is a federal program known as Income-Based Repayment. It can let borrowers repay federal loans based on how much they can afford instead of what's due. The cap is about 15 percent of their discretionary income.
Keep good records on all of your student loans and stay on top of the status of each one. One easy way to do this is to log onto nslds.ed.gov. This is a website that keep s track of all student loans and can display all of your pertinent information to you. If you have some private loans, they will not be displayed. Regardless of how you keep track of your loans, do be sure to keep all of your original paperwork in a safe place. You should know more about student loans after reading the tips from the article above. With this information, you can make a more informed decision regarding loans and what will work best for you. Keep this article handy and refer back to it when you have any questions or concerns about student loans.
The unsubsidized Stafford loan is a good option in student loans. Anyone with any level of income can get one. The interest is not paid for your during your education; however, you will have 6 months grace period after graduation before you have to start making payments. This kind of loan offers standard federal protections for borrowers. The fixed interest rate is not greater than 6.8%.

Lynn Brewer beamed as his son, Blake, pinned his new set of captain's bars on his collar Wednesday afternoon during the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the Portsmouth City Building.
"It's pride," Brewer said. "My son is quite an exceptional young man. He steps up and helps out at home all the time. He has been all over Facebook about showing his pride in me, which surprised me. I was very proud."
Brewer became the newest captain on the Portsmouth Police Department last week when it was announced by the Civil Service Commission that he was the only member of the department to pass the captain's exam. Brewer joins interim chief Robert Ware as the only captains on the force.
"It is a long term goal of mine to reach the administration of the Police Department, and I figured after 20 years service I had more to offer in teaching the new patrolmen and helping them to learn the ropes of protecting the city and doing their jobs," Brewer said. "And I just believed it was time to move up."
Brewer was, over the last several months, seen frequently with his study folders as he prepared for the 150 question test.
"I'm normally not a studier, but I wanted this position," Brewer said. "I actually started studying about 10 months ago preparing myself for this, and I made my decision that I was going to move up."
Brewer said he intends to hit the ground running.
"The challenge ahead of me is updating the education of our patrolmen," Brewer said. "Obviously Chief Ware, directing the department, and I have to look forward to a bunch of new recruits coming onto the department with the vacancies we have. It's going to be the matter of training them. You don't start off knowing the job. You have to be taught it. So that will be our biggest challenge."
In addition to his son, Brewer was the center of admiration from his three daughters who attended the swearing in which was performed by Portsmouth Mayor David Malone.
"I love my family," Brewer said. "My family is always first in my life after God. And I love having my family here. It's great. I wouldn't want to do something like this without my family present."
