After saturating Florida and moving up the East Coast, the Lakeland-based grocer is ready to enter the competition for a new state
It's no secret that retail development stalled during the Great Recession.
But while most in the retail industry scaled back, focusing instead on existing stores and on maintaining profits, Publix Supermarkets surged ahead.
The Lakeland-based grocery chain, which has dominated the Florida market with keen customer service and aggressive marketing, is now updating older existing stores and expanding into new markets.
Most notably, the chain is opening stores in North Carolina for the first time in its 83-year history and is in turn opening up doors to compete with chains outside of Walmart, Winn-Dixie, Sweetbay and other competitors it has faced for years in Florida.
In September 2012, Publix announced it would open five stores in North Carolina, ending years of speculation by retail analysts and developers who saw opportunities for the company to expand there.
The first, a 56,000-square-foot store in Ballantyne, N.C., is planned to open in early 2014. It comes after two other stores opened this year in South Carolina, near Charlotte, N.C.
"We are always considering opportunities for new markets. North Carolina has been the state our customers have requested us most," said Brian West, a Publix spokesman.
Two more stores in North Carolina -- including one in the Asheville area and another in Cary, N.C. -- will open in 2014 and 2015.
North Carolina may have demographics similar to Florida's, analysts say, which made it a safe and logical choice to expand into. The Tar Heel state boasts a large number of "in betweeners" -- retirees who moved from the Northeast or Midwest to the Carolinas or neighboring states instead of Florida, fleeing the cold weather but not ready for the year-round warmth the Sunshine State offers.
"When Publix came to Atlanta, it was a big deal. It surprised a lot of people that they were moving into other markets outside of Florida," recalls John Crossman, president of Crossman and Co., an Orlando-based retail developer that has worked with Publix over the years.
But that was years before the Great Recession. While the market has changed, Crossman said he believes Publix's expansion will likely continue to be successful if it sticks to its roots.
"Their model continues to be working for them, and they've battled big national and local chains in Florida so far. As long as they continue to focus on customer service, they'll have a strong base," Crossman said.
Part of that model includes good employee relations. Fortune Magazine has ranked Publix on its list of the 100 best companies to work for and most admired companies for more than a decade.
That focus apparently extends to sales as well.
Publix ranks No. 8 on the 2013 top 75 retailers and wholesalers list compiled by Supermarket News, an industry publication. Publix's $27.5 billion in 2012 annual sales put it ahead of Jacksonville-based Bi-Lo Holdings, the parent company of Winn-Dixie; Whole Foods Market Inc.; and Trader Joe's.
New competition
While Publix has remained relatively unchallenged in Florida, the company has certainly benefited from Winn-Dixie's merger with Bi-Lo Holdings in 2011 and Tampa-based Sweetbay Supermarkets fold into Delhaize Group earlier this year.
Retail giant Walmart, with a handful of supercenters in the Southwest Florida market and new neighborhood market grocery stores popping up, has posed the biggest challenge.
So much so, that Publix and Walmart have faced off in price-centric ad campaigns. Publix, however, for now remains the dominant grocer in the market, with net margins at 5.6 percent in 2012, compared with Walmart's 3.8 percent.
But as Publix expands up the East Coast, the chain will face a new group of competitors, like Kroger Co., which recently purchased regional competitor Harris Teeter in a $2.5 billion deal. Harris Teeter's annual sales, at $4.5 billion, were less than 5 percent of Kroger's last year.
Just as Publix has used size to dominate, it is dwarfed by Kroger, which has 3,574 stores and generated $96.8 billion in sales in 2012.
Publix says it is up for the challenge, though.
"There is a lot of competition in the grocery market, but Publix customers appreciate the quality products and premier customer service we offer," West said.
Saturation of Florida
Publix's expansion into North Carolina may stem from its saturation of Florida. In all, it operates more than 1,000 stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. In Florida alone it has 754 stores.
In addition to opening in new locations in Florida, the grocer is renovating aging stores, including several in Southwest Florida. Its most notable renovation took place at its Longboat Key store, which reopened in December.
In April 2011, the plaza housing Publix there closed for updating and a major redevelopment. The 9,000-square-foot Publix, at 525 Bay Isles Parkway, is now a store unlike any other in Sarasota and Manatee counties, offering a more upscale shopping experience with prepared foods and other special features.
More rehabilitations are on the way.
This past spring, St. Petersburg-based Sembler demolished a Publix in Nokomis. The development company, which has built nearly 50 Publix stores in its 30-year history, plans to build a new store at the same 1091 N. Tamiami Trail address. It will open early next year.
"Publix has invested in a lot of rebuilds in Florida. Before Nokomis we did a similar rebuild in Port St. Lucie," said Ron Wheeler, Sembler's CEO.
"There aren't that many other retailers that will demolish a store and rebuild one relatively the same size in the same space. That's where Publix is unique."
But West adds there's still room to grow in Florida, including in Venice, where a new Laurel Road store opened Aug. 29.
"There are several stores scheduled to open at locations around the state by the end of this year, and several others targeted for early next year," West said. "There are areas all over the state where our customers would like us to open stores."

The English Common Law Definition of Natural Law Is Not Part Of The Law Of Nations.
Some have written to ask me whether the Law of Nations is based on natural law, and whether this creates a contradiction to my argument in the Amicus Brief I have submitted in the Georgia POTUS eligibility cases. The answer is no, it is not a contradiction in any way, shape or form. And here's why:
Customs of international law have developed over millenia as nations have confronted each other. These customs created international law, aka, the Law of Nations.
The Law of Nations respects the sovereignty of each nation, and each nation's right to worship God as they please, or not to worship God at all. When this custom is violated, wars are inevitable. Natural law under the Law of Nations, therefore, must be non-denominational (including Atheism).
Furthermore, Vattel's famous treatise didn't create the Law of Nations. His text is an observation of customs that developed between nations, such customs going back centuries well before Christ walked the Earth.
Christian nations, Atheist nations, Islamic nations, etc., all respect customs of the Law of Nations, but they do not share the same concepts of natural law. To a Pagan, nature is God. To a Marxist/Atheist, science is God. And so on… But all nations do agree that procreation is part of nature.
The English common law was absolutely Christian, and their entire system of Government was based upon their unique view of natural law being issued directly from Jesus Christ as enforced by the English monarch.
I am a Christian, but I do not want religion being established in our government. Jesus said, "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give unto God what is God's."
Those who believe in Christ, believe natural law emanates from Christ, and those who believe in Allah, believe natural law emanates from Allah. The same is true for those who worship the sun, or the elements, or the stars.
The English common law has Christ at the head of its government, with the King as his main man on Earth. That was the rule of natural law for their nation. Other nations had different concepts of natural law. Again, to a Marxist/Atheist nation, science is natural law. So, with regard to the international community as governed by the Law of Nations, natural law is non-denominational, and even non-spiritual for Atheist nations.
There is a fundamental distinction between natural law in the international community, and natural law under the English common law.
Our Constitution forbids the establishment of religion, while respecting the rights of all persons to worship God or nature as they like. The English common law is in direct polar opposition to our Constitution, in that infidels were considered enemies of the state. In Calvin's Case, which is universally recognized as having established the English common law with regard to the jus soli rule, the decision makes it perfectly clear that the English common law presumed infidels would never be converted to Christianity, and it specifically states that they are subjects of devils.
Hence, one could be born on English soil, in the King's castle even, to parents who loved the King, but if the parents weren't Christian, they could not be natural-born subjects. Instead, they were considered enemies of the King, because they refused to believe that the King was God's monarch on Earth. This is not "natural law" to anyone who wasn't Christian.
The English common law's uniquely Christian definition of natural law governs the English common law concept of natural subjection/natural allegiance. And that is why the English common law definition of "natural-born subject" can never be judicially recognized as synonymous with "natural-born citizen". Such a construction of Article 2, Section 1, would be directly repugnant to the 1st Amendment.
Perhaps due to the sensitivity of the spiritual concepts discussed in my Amicus brief, people have not been as focused upon my first point in the brief, which is the most important point, and it's the simplest as well.
The rules of statutory construction in this nation forbid the construction of any clause in the Constitution that renders another clause inoperative. Each clause, and each word of each clause, must be given separate and unique meaning. When the legislature enacted the 14th Amendment, it did not include the word "natural". The Amendment states that persons born in the country, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens. It does not say that they are natural-born citizens.
The legislature could have drafted the amendment so that those born here were deemed to be "natural born Citizens", but the legislature didn't. And our federal courts are barred, according to the rules of statutory construction, from holding that the 14th Amendment creates natural-born citizens. Had Congress intended the Amendment to do that, their intention to do so must have been clear and manifest. Therefore, such a construction is not only wrong, it is inadmissible according to Chief Justice Marshall's majority opinion in Marbury v. Madison.
The issue now confronting the nation as to the true Constitutional meaning and intention of the natural-born citizen clause is not as complex as it appears. When one analyzes it in the context of the firmly established rules of statutory construction, it becomes clear that 14th Amendment citizenship is not, by itself, enough to be POTUS eligible. In order for a court to hold that 14th Amendment citizenship alone makes one a natural-born citizen, the court would be required to completely overrule the very foundation of law in this country; checks and balances created by the separation of powers.
Perhaps the judicial branch is willing to do that to protect President Obama from the Constitution's authority. But in doing so, the judiciary would destroy our legal system. This is because such a construction would be a complete usurpation by the judicial branch of the power granted by the Constitution to Congress.
Therefore, the only possible way to Constitutionally construe the natural-born citizen clause is to require something more than 14th Amendment citizenship. That something more is citizen parentage. And that is exactly how the Supreme Court construed it in Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874).

Tech Analysis: Alan Wake
Midnight feast.
As console exclusives for PS3 and Xbox 360 become rarer, the attention from media and gamers on first-party software has become more intense. Multiformat software does and will continue to break new technological barriers (Bad Company 2 anyone?), but the focus is on the exclusives to see the consoles pushing back the boundaries, unencumbered by the need to accommodate the limitations of a competing platform.
Few can argue with the assertion that Sony's mammoth network of first-party games studios has produced astonishing software in recent times. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and God of War III see the PS3 producing state-of-the-art visuals and gameplay that seem to hurdle the hardware limitations of the console running them almost effortlessly. But what of Xbox 360? Recently the focus from Microsoft has shifted elsewhere (most likely towards a certain camera-based device), with the platform holder seemingly happy to let third parties cater for the core gamer.
The emergence of Halo: Reach and Alan Wake looks set to change things. We took a look at Bungie's latest beta test last week, and today our gaze shifts towards Remedy's five-years-in-the-making survival horror epic, Alan Wake. Digital Foundry's love for Nordic games and their developers is well documented and an initial look at the Remedy game merely reinforces our belief that game-makers in this part of the world seem uniquely equipped to produce stunning titles, each with their own distinctive, impressive tech.
Of course, Alan Wake has not been without its controversies - for example claims that the game falls short in running in "proper" HD on a console designed for the high-definition era. So, to begin with, let's get the resolution issue out of the way once and for all.
Is Alan Wake rendering at 960x540? Is it full-fat 720p? Or is it somewhere in-between? We talked about Remedy's response to the pixel counters in a previous DF blog post. While the developer was implying heavily that the game was running at the standard HD resolution of 1280x720, there was nothing in the text that outright denied what screenshot analysis revealed - that the base resolution of the framebuffer itself was 960x540.
There were initial reservations expressed about the source of the analysis - Remedy talked about downscaled videos, for example. However, the screenshots themselves that were the basis of the discussion emanated from German games site VideoGamesZone.de, and we can attest to the quality of the shots since these guys use Digital Foundry capture gear and have done for three years.
Therefore, perhaps not surprisingly, our own internal analysis matches what the pixel-counters say: Alan Wake's native resolution is indeed 960x540, with 4x multi-sampling anti-aliasing. This is not to discount the very pertinent points Remedy raised in its statement - the framebuffer is put together from a range of different elements each with their own specific technical make-up and resolution and this has a big bearing on the overall image quality.
Alan Wake features some unique rendering technology, and the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts, of which framebuffer resolution is just one. Yes, it's significantly sub-HD, but the visual composition of the game makes this far less of an issue than you'd expect.
Now then, scaling can be very good (especially on well anti-aliased images), but inevitably, more pixels is always better. We have some idea of how Alan Wake would have looked at 720p since earlier development footage was indeed running at the native HD resolution. Indeed, you can see it yourself by looking at one of Remedy's earlier developer diaries, which we had a go at analysing back in August last year.
So, resolution dropped since then, but it also appears that anti-aliasing has been bumped up from the more standard 2x MSAA. Why? The footage displayed some performance issues, which is perhaps not so surprising. Alan Wake's heavy use of alpha must surely be a massive drain on the GPU. But bumping up to 4x MSAA means that Remedy can make use of the "cheaper" transparencies afforded by using "alpha to coverage", safe in the knowledge that the sub-pixel multi-sampling offered by the 4x would blend away almost all of the "screen door" effect that you get with this implementation. Look closely and you can see that Remedy even used alpha-to-coverage on Wake's hair.
Let's be frank. Atmosphere is one of the key components in making Alan Wake the game it is. There is no other game quite like it in that regard. Advanced lighting and shadowing and a masterful implementation of volumetric fog are essential elements in building the look and feel of Bright Falls. It's because of that approach that the softness of the image and the relative lack of resolution isn't so much of a big deal. Alan Wake is far from a perfect piece of software, it's definitely not without its faults, but the comparatively low pixel-count has little, if any, negative impact on the final, shipping game - and that has been borne out by the reviews, none of which have mentioned much in the way of visual drawbacks.
The 4x MSAA doesn't just allow Remedy leeway in its transparencies, it smooths off the majority of harsh edges, meaning that the ugliness of upscaled "jaggies" is not an issue. Bearing in mind the extended development time Alan Wake has had, and the fact that no developer is going to run the game at a lower resolution unless they really had to, we have to assume that Remedy's chosen solution here is the right one for what the studio set out to achieve. Upping resolution would have meant a reduction in anti-aliasing and almost certainly in performance. This is not to say that a native 720p framebuffer wouldn't look clearer and better (and it's a real shame that there's no PC build to provide that comparison) but in the context of Alan Wake's visual make-up, it's simply not as much of an issue as it would be on a vast range of other games.
Performance then. Alan Wake is a pretty consistent 30FPS game, as you would hope when the resolution has been reduced from the standard 720p down to 960x540. However, even with this reduction, there are performance issues, and you'll notice them within moments of picking up the joypad.

Checking in on… the Big WestPosted by rtmsf on February 8th, 2010
Steve Coulter of the Clarion is the RTC correspondent for the Big West Conference.
Top Story
Santa Barbara shuts down Pacific
UC Santa Barbara traveled to play conference leader Pacific on Thursday night and upset the Tigers 61-48 on their court. The Gauchos played outstanding defense not allowing any of the Tigers starting five to score more than 10 points in the game. Sophomore guard Orlando Johnson had a career best 28 points for the Gauchos and led all scorers. Johnson, the conference's leading scorer (17.8 points per game), also had six rebounds in the victory. Fellow sophomore James Nunnally added 19 points and six rebounds. With the win the Gauchos move to within a half-game of Pacific for the conference lead. Eight minutes into the game the Tigers trailed 14-2 and failed to recover from that. They couldn't come back mainly because of horrendous shooting. The Tigers shot 29.4 percent from the field and only connected on six of their 27 attempted three point shots. Freshman guard Allen Huddleston led the Tigers off the bench, scoring ten points. Santa Barbara had beaten Pacific 68-67 earlier this year on January 10 and has now swept the season series.
Other News
Nunnally on fire for Santa Barbara
James Nunnally's breakthrough in the last four weeks has been a key factor in the Gauchos' rise in conference standings. The sophomore forward has the perfect combination of skills that has allowed him to peak. He can drive to the basket and make a play or he can shoot the three-pointer. On defense he has proven solid in the past few weeks, as the Gauchos have won five of their last six games. In those six games, Nunnally has scored in double figures every game and has scored more than 20 points five times. Big performances against Cal Poly, Pacific, and UC Davis in the past two weeks have helped the Gauchos pick up necessary conference wins. The small forward's presence is also freeing up space for his teammate Orlando Johnson, who has scored in double figures every game this season and leads the team in rebounding. With the Johnson and Nunnally combination it seems plausible that UCSB can overtake Pacific in the weeks to come and snag the top seed in next month's conference tournament. While Johnson may be pulling away with conference player of the year award, it has been Nunnally's emergence that has propelled the Gauchos in conference play.
Austin has a career-high night
UC Riverside's Kyle Austin set a career-high when he scored 35 points last Saturday night in a 76-59 road win over Cal State Fullerton. The mark is second all-time for the Highlanders in their Division I era and is five points short of Rickey Porter's record set on January 7, 2006. Austin's performance helped UC Riverside snap a three-game losing streak. After a road win over UC Irvine on the January 23, the Highlanders dropped all three games during a three game home stretch. Austin, who has scored in double figures every conference game this season besides one, was surprisingly cool at home only scoring a total of 25 points in losses to Pacific and CS Northridge. Without Austin's scoring, the Highlanders dropped both games and failed to score over 60 points. In Saturday's win Austin could not be stopped by the Titan defense. In the first half he shot 7-10 from the field and nailed both three-pointers he attempted. He finished with 21 first half points, which was one shy of his season record of 22 points in the second half against San Diego on December 4, 2009.
Phelps named player of the week
Sophomore forward Eugene Phelps became the fifth player from Long Beach State to be named Big West Men's Basketball Player of the Week. Phelps received the award on February 1 because he led the 49ers to two conference wins the previous week. Entering the week Phelps had been averaging 8.2 points per game, but he stepped his game up by scoring a career-high 18 points in a 69-68 road victory over Cal State Northridge. The following game he set a new career high, scoring 21 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a win over UC Davis. By earning the honor, Phelps helped the 49ers become the first team in league history to have five different players earn Player of the Week honors in a season. Phelps followed his career best week by returning to earth, scoring ten points in Thursdays overtime loss to Fullerton and finishing with just seven in Saturday's victory over Northridge.
Two Big West teams will play in BracketBuster games
When Pacific hosts New Mexico State in two weeks (2/20), the Tigers will be representing the Big West in one of eleven of ESPNU's televised BracketBuster games being held throughout the weekend. This marks the second time that the two schools play each other in a BracketBusters matchup. They played each other on February 18, 2006, as well. Although it will not be televised, UC Santa Barbara will also be playing in an out-of-conference game that weekend when they travel to play Fresno St. The Gauchos are 5-6 out of conference and are below .500 on the road, but they will be playing a 12-12 Bulldogs team that has lost five of its last seven games.
Conference Breakdown
Top Tier: Pacific (8-2), (15-7), Santa Barbara (8-3), (13-8)
The conference leader, Pacific, has not lost to another conference opponent other than UC Santa Barbara yet this season. Offensively the Tigers have been struggling in the past two weeks. The shooting behind the arc has increased in attempts, but hasn't produced nearly enough baskets for an offense that relies on it to pull ahead in games. Pacific is fifth in the conference behind the arc, shooting 34.3 percent but in the past two games against Santa Barbara and Cal Poly the Tigers have shot 27.1 percent. That number is staggering considering that Pacific shot 10-20 from three-point range in a January 21 victory over Cal State Fullerton. In the past four games there has been a lack of consistency from the starting line up. Joe Ford, Terrell Smith and Michael Nunnally each scored in double-figures in a win over UC Irvine on January 28. Since that game the trio has struggled to score, which has meant Sam Willard and Demetrece Young have had to step up to carry the load. Willard currently leads the team and rebounding, however the junior forward missed Saturday night's game against the Mustangs The Gauchos remain a half game back of Pacific for the conference lead, but must take care of the two teams that sit behind them in the conference standings if they want to catch the Tigers and claim the top spot. Next Saturday the Gauchos play host to Long Beach State, who has a 5-5 conference record, and then they travel the following Thursday (2/17) to take on Fullerton, also a 5-5 conference team. The Gauchos are clearly the team to beat in the conference, winning five of their last six games. Right now they are doing the exact opposite of Pacific—they are effectively shooting the ball from 3-point range and rank first in the conference shooting 37.3 percent from behind the arc In Saturday's win over UC Davis, the Gauchos hit their first seven 3-point baskets and in their upset win against Pacific on Thursday they shot 46 percent from 3-point range. Johnson and Nunnally are giving this team plenty of offensive power and have seemed to mature rapidly as the season has progressed. With two consistent scorers, good shooting, and a defense that has begun to make plays in recent weeks, the Gauchos have solidified their spot among the top teams in the Big West this season.
Middle of the Pack: Cal State Fullerton (5-5), (11-11), Long Beach State (5-5), (11-12), UC Davis (5-5), (9-13), and Cal Poly (5-5), (9-13)
None of the middle teams seem to have anything in common besides their 5-5 conference record. They all seem to be going in opposite directions. Long Beach State is winner of three of their last four and has become the second best offensive team in the conference. Upcoming games against conference heavyweights—Santa Barbara (2/13) and Pacific (2/17)—put the 49ers in great position to thrust themselves into the top tier of the conference before the postseason begins. It helps to have six players who average over nine points a game, including sophomore forward and player of the year candidate T.J Robinson. Robinson averages a double double with 15.3 points per game and 10.3 rebounds per game. He had a streak of three consecutive double-doubles last week, but had his streak snapped on Saturday in a win over Northridge. While the 49ers appear to be heading in the right direction, Cal Poly seems to be heading the other way. The Mustangs have lost their last four games, including an ugly nonconference to Cal State Bakersfield on January 30. The win was the first road win of the year for Bakersfield and their fourth win on the season. To revive, the Mustangs must beat the 49ers this upcoming Thursday night. Then they travel to play bottom feeders Riverside and Northridge. Fullerton has the league's highest scoring offense, which has positioned them three games back of the Tigers for first place in the division. Starters Aaron Thompson, Jer'Vaughn Johnson, Jacques Streeter, and Devon Peltier have formed a nice nucleus for the Titans, who until Saturday's loss to Riverside had no problem scoring more than 70 points a game. All four players average more than ten points per game and must find help from role players such as center Bryce Webster and forwards Gerald Anderson and Orane Chin. The Titans have played in three overtime games in their last six games and have come away winners twice, the team needs to continue to rally late in halves in order to continue to have a chance this season. Of all the middle of the pack teams, UC Davis seems to be the most stagnant. The Aggies seemed destined to stay in the middle of the pack while other teams (Fullerton and Long Beach State) rose past them and others (Cal Poly) dropped. The Aggies have a chance to make a statement when they host Pacific on Wednesday night. However no matter what the outcome of the game the Aggies' postseason future seems murky, as the team has struggled to find consistency. They are 3-3 in their last six games and haven't had a winning streak since the first week of January.
Bottom Tier: Cal State Northridge (4-6), (9-14), UC Irvine (3-7), (10-14), and UC Riverside (3-8), (9-14)
UC Irvine didn't help themselves by dropping one of two back-to-back games against non-conference foe Cal State Bakersfield. The Anteaters have struggled in conference all season and have lost six of their last seven conference games. Senior guard Michael Hunter and sophomore forward Eric Wise have made up a nice combo for the Anteaters, a lone bright spot in a season that hasn't seen many. As for Northridge and Riverside, the two teams continue to turn the ball over too much. The Matadors have a horrendous defense that doesn't complement a shaky offense well. They surrender 74.5 points per game, but will have a chance to gain a few wins in the upcoming weeks as they play feeble nonconference opponents in Bakersfield and Drake. Also a Wednesday night game next week against a struggling Cal Poly team could have the Matadors marching into the middle of the conference. Riverside has pulled off some upsets so far this season, beating Long Beach State and Fullerton, but the facts remain that Riverside is abysmal. Kyle Austin seems to be the only bright point for the Highlanders, as the junior cannot be stopped by opposing defenses. Unfortunately for the Highlanders, the rest of the offense is inept, averaging just above 62 points per game.

Afghan Hounds have an elongated, narrow head with refined facial features and a strong jaw. Their muzzle is slightly convex, and their teeth meet at a level or scissors bite. Afghan Hounds have dark, almond-shaped eyes, a black nose, and shaggy, medium-length ears that hang flat to their heads. They have prominent hip bones, and large, fur-covered feet. Their neck and front legs are strong and muscular. Afghan Hounds feature a distinctive, long tail with a curl at the tip. The tail hangs downward rather than upright or over the back. Afghan Hounds that are appropriate for the show ring have nearly-level withers and an abdomen that is properly tucked up. Afghan Hounds have a very long, thick, luxuriously silky coat of hair. Afghan Hounds are usually gray in color with darker markings around the face and ear fringes, but all colors of this breed are acceptable for show. The long topknot and short-haired saddle are distinguishing characteristics of the Afghan Hound's coat.
Afghan Hounds are very active dogs,and highly intelligent.
Afghan Hounds are dignified, stately creatures that make very sweet pets. Unlike many breeds, Afghan Hounds do not constantly aim to please. They are regal and sometimes aloof, but they are also very gentle and kind. Some Afghan Hounds can be timid, so it's important for them to be trained with care and patience. Commonly referred to as the "King of Dogs", Afghan hounds project an aristocratic aura and an attitude of nobility and grace. They can also be goofy at times, and they have a tendency towards independence. They are leery of strangers and need a certain amount of time before they are capable of exchanging trust. Afghan Hounds do very well in gentle families with older children. If trained improperly, Afghan Hounds have a propensity to be disobedient.
General Health
Afghan Hounds are a healthy breed, but they have an inclination towards allergies. Also, they are a breed with a low tolerance for pain. Even if an Afghan Hound is perfectly healthy, a minor injury could be very bothersome. Because of the Afghan Hound's low body fat percentage, he is very sensitive to anesthesia. In general, Afghan Hounds are a long-lived breed, averaging 12-14 years in many cases. Afghan Hounds need lots of exercise, so they should be allowed to gallop in a wide, open space for at least thirty minutes per day. Afghan Hounds can have anywhere from 1 to 15 puppies, but the average litter size is 8.
Afghan Hounds are one of the most ancient dog breeds, and they date back for thousands of years. They originated in Afghanistan or Russia. Afghan Hounds were bred purely for many decades, and they were prohibited from export to other countries. The breed was not present in America or Europe until after the turn of the twentieth century. Initially the Afghan Hound was used as a shepherd and hunter for many different types of game. They are very fast and agile, and their heavy coats protect them from extreme weather conditions. Afghan Hounds have a number of talents including hunting, herding, sighting, tracking, and racing. They also make good watchdogs.
The Afghan Hound's rich, luxurious coat requires a lot of maintenance. For optimum shine and length, Afghan Hounds should be given a weekly bath. The coat should not be brushed in-between baths because the hair will become matted more easily. Afghan Hounds are average shedders.
Ideal Environment
Afghan Hounds are comparatively inactive indoors, and they need lots of room to run and exercise. An Afghan Hound is happiest sleeping indoors, but he should be outside for a good part of the day. Homes with large backyards are ideal, but an Afghan Hound can do okay in other environments if he is given frequent, long walks.
Dog Training!
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.

Intoxicating Bush Smell
From a longer entry I posted today on TastyTrixie.com about being intoxicated by the scent of my own musky bush during my webcam show masturbation session:
Today I decided not to shower, putting my dirty hair in pigtails instead. It's been four or five days since I had a shower and maybe only two baths (last night and some other time) during that time. For three days I wore the same pair of sticky, hot-smelling panties. My bush is getting really filled-out again, and every time I go to the bathroom I sniff the crotch of my underwear and play with my cowlicks that come together and curl up where my lips meet. The musky smell of pussy-hair steeped in cunt-sweat is part of what I love about not shaving.
Anyway, it smelled so good today during my show, I just kept petting it and bringing my hand up to inhale, over and over again. Deep breaths, totally drugging myself on that woman-sex smell of myself. I fucking could not get enough of it, smelling it, and watching me on the monitor, stroking myself with my light-pink clit poking out between my dirty-blonde fur and those SOCKS pulled up on my thighs making everything in the middle look so fucking naked and whorey.
I remember the first time I ever rode on Highway 1 through Big Sur, not being able to get enough of that hot sage smell. It doesn't smell like pussy exactly, but it's addictive and elevating, like ascending to heaven and being on some other unearthly level in between the ground and meeting God's secretary while He's away. I feel the same way about the smell of my musky bush, like if I were to immerse myself in it far enough I would wind up in some other place of knowledge and luxury and a decadent form of peace.
Today while I inhaled I realized the scent on my fingers reminded me a whole lot of crayola crayon wrappers. Not exactly like that, but similar. I always wonder where that Really Perfect Pussy smell comes from, like what the secret recipe is for it to be that perfect all of the time. Was it steeping my hair in dirty underwear so long? Was it the hot apple cider and cashews we had before bed? Was it the flax seed and evening primrose oil? Was it having PMS? Was it the mingling of a favorite lotion with the cunt smell to create a perfect pussy-church combo?
Yeah. I know you guys wish I'd post over here more often, right?Read More

My new [to me] sewing machine!
I posted way back in December, asking for advice on what machine to get. There were a lot of responses for old Vikings, and I liked the looks of them, so I started looking. While I was looking, I found an old White machine at the thrift store for $12.50, and decided it was fate, when I plugged it in at the store and it worked. I brought it home, plugged it in, and ... nothing. It didn't work at all. My local repair guy, Joe (if you are local to Geneva, Il., I highly recommend the Creative Sewing Center), said it probably wasn't worth fixing :(.
I went back to looking for vikings, and finally found one! The woman was so nice, and wanted to just trade machines, her Viking for my cheap Brother, because she said she just wanted a more basic machine. I insisted on paying her for the Viking, but let her take $10 off for the Brother. It was a bit gummed up, and hadn't been used for many years, so off to Joe it went. I just got it back yesterday, and it's fabulous! It works great, and though it took me a bit to understand it, I was able to figure it out without a manual. It's a...
and has all it's cams (various stitches I can do with it)...
I played around with it, and love the fun stitches! Here's some of them. I just love the little hearts!
Now to get sewing!

I adore vintage machines, and this looks like a wonderful one. Excellent score!

Hey can I ask how much he charged you for the repair? It's really hard to find good, LOCAL sewing machine repair service! :)

Congratulations, Kris, your machine is beautiful--I guess a sewing machine can be beautiful in a sew machine sort of way. I have a vintage machine too--an avocado green Bernina made in the same year I was born. I love it.

- Resweater said...
Thanks, Bren! Don't you have a pretty aqua machine?
Wendy, It was $69 to clean it, and get it running properly (it did have a couple of small issues). It's worth every penny, because they are great there.
Melissa, I am jealous! I love all things avocado. It's much more fun to sew with a pretty machine :).

Are you kidding me?! I paid $99 to Viking inside of Joann for a small repair, and they had to ship it off to TENNESSEE to get it done. It took 5 weeks! I'm totally going to your guy in the future - thanks so much! :)

- Bethany said...
Very fun! How old is the machine? i love the stitches!
- February 25, 2012 at 4:40 PM
- Resweater said...
Wendy, This guy is great. He does everything on site, and has been doing it for a long time. I don't think you'd ever have to wait 5 weeks at Creative Sewing!
Bethany, I'm not sure! Probably about 40 years old. I've seen references to this model made with 1971.

My very first good sewing machine was the same Viking you just got and I loved it ! There was a special sale at a sewing store years ago. Bring in your old machine and get $100 off towards a new Viking. My old machine had given out..I sewed it to death making clothes, including a winter coat and leggings plus hat lined for my little daughter. I gave this Viking to my youngest daughter. She said it wasn't working ...now today I'm calling her...I want it back and will get it fixed. This Viking is strong and will sew through multiple layers . Congratulations on finding one, many happy hours sewing for you ! My heart was reminded when I saw your machine.

- Lora said...
Congratulations! It looks almost exactly like mine (which was my Mom's for 30 plus years.) Since I started sewing on heavy wool, I end up replacing the bobbin casing about once a year. It just starts to make horrible noises, and the stitch quality gets wonky. I'll be interested to see if your repair man knows a better way to avoid that!
Lora at Felted Woolies

- Resweater said...
Anonymous, How long has your daughter had the machine? The repair guy said these have parts that tend to go bad when the machines go unused for too long.
Lora, He never mentioned the bobbin casing. I'll have to ask him about it the next time I see him.

Hi, I just inherited a Viking 6430 too that belongs to my mom-in-law, however it does not have a manual. do you have yours and would you be able to send me a copy?
- March 6, 2012 at 7:43 PM

I do not have a manual. I know they sell them online for not too much.

Hi Kris! I commented on you blog back in December after I had read the entire thing in one night. I had insomnia when I was pregnant. Had my sweet baby boy in January!
Anyway I own this Viking and LOVE IT! It is such a hardy machine. Hardly ever needs repairs. And I have the manuals. I can copy and send them to you if you want just let me know.
- March 18, 2012 at 12:25 PM
- Resweater said...
Hi Kristen,
I certainly remember you! You don't forget when someone reads your blog in one night. That was so flattering! Congratulations on your baby boy!!
I would love to have a copy of the manual, thanks! I can send you a sweater from my shop for your time! Just email me with what sweater you want & i'll send it to you.

I found your posting while trying to figure out which model Viking I first owned. This was it, loved it.
I certainly miss The Village Fabrics Store where my machine was purchased it was in Glen Ellyn. The owner would always take your Viking machine as trade-in and gave you what you paid for it off on the latest model Viking. I traded this one for a 6570 and that one for a 1100. Sadly they had retired and closed the business, so I couldn't upgrade to my current Designer SE. A die-hard Viking fan.
- August 7, 2014 at 2:54 PM
I have this exact same machine, and I'm trying to figure out how to do a straight stitch. I got it to zig zag, but I can't figure out the cams. Can you help me?

The Grundfos Group, as a reliable and long-term partner of the IHF, has renewed its cooperation and has once again become the official sponsor of the title contests.
The Grundfos sponsorship runs until the end of 2009 and includes the Men's and Women's World Championships in Croatia and China respectively. A further cooperation is also planned for the future.
Grundfos has been an IHF partner for quite a long time showing continuous commitment to handball through sponsorship activities at the World Championships in Germany and France in 2007.
"To have a partner that is committed and experienced is an advantage for all participants", IHF President Dr Hassan Moustafa stated. "We are looking forward to a friendly and fruitful cooperation with a partner sharing our ideals and mission to contribute to a healthy and better future through handball."
"Based on the experience from the 2007 Men's World Championship in Handball we have great expectations for the coming Championship in Croatia. Handball is a sport attracting increasing attention and involvement in many parts of the world, and Grundfos is happy to take part in this worldwide enthusiasm, says Group Senior Vice President Kim Klastrup from Grundfos Headquarters in Bjerringbro, Denmark. He adds that there is a good match between the IHF ideals, and the basic values of Grundfos."

Dan Barnett Lake Texoma Fishing: Hall of Fame Photos
Lake Texoma Striper Fishing & Small Mouth Bass Fishing Guide Service
Lake Texoma among Top Rated Texas Bass Fishing Locations
Lake Texoma fishing is abundant and ranks at the top of Texas bass fishing impoundments. Stretching over a vast 89,000 acres and bordering two states, the lake is the favorite fishing spot for numerous Lake Texoma Striper guides. Large numbers of both Oklahoma fishing guides and Texas fishing guides should NOT suggest that guide services between them is equal. They are not all equal. The dissimilarities between striper guides are as great as those found between a Volkswagen and Lexus. 20 plus years of experience and attention to detail make the difference between just another day on the lake and memories of a lifetime. When you choose a guided Lake Texoma Striper Fishing outing, choose wisely.
Lake Texoma Is Shared By Both Oklahoma and Texas
Texoma is a lake on the Red River bordering both Texas and Oklahoma which is widely recognized as a top fishing lake among all Oklahoma and Texas lakes. Lake Texoma to some, is one of the most popular recreation destinations in the Southwest. Lake Texoma was built by the Corps of Engineers, impounded in 1944, and was stocked with largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, hybrid striped bass, blue and channel catfish, both black and white crappie along with the native sand bass from the Red and Washita Rivers.
Searching for a Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guide?
Unlike many other Texoma guides who participate at a part time level, I am a full time Lake Texoma striper fishing guide. Fishing for the big ones is my only business. My patrons consist of individuals, kids, groups and corporate clients. I receive my greatest satisfaction dealing with the first time fisherman and the youngsters. I am so devoted to the youth that I offer kids 10 years of age and under, the opportunity to fish for free when accompanied by a paying adult. A major portion of my business is derived from repeat customers, which attests to my reputation as one of the best guide services operating on Lake Texoma.
Dan is a full-time Lake Texoma guide dedicated to bringing home the Big One! Why search for a Lake Texoma striper fishing guide anywhere else? Contact Dan Barnett's Guaranteed Texoma Guide Service today!

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Powered by a pair of juniors, the
Georgia College men's cross country team placed second at
Saturday morning's ASU Tri-Meet, hosted by Augusta State
University. The race was 4.94 miles long, just shy of a standard 8K
Pack style running paid off for the Bobcat harriers as they had three runners finish within the top-10. Junior Daniel Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) set the pace for the Bobcats again, finishing seventh overall in 26:11. Junior transfer Tyler Mattix (Snellville, Ga.) finished in eighth with a time of 26:26. Freshman Philip Laskey (Marietta, Ga.) took ninth, just two seconds off Mattix.
Junior Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.) took 11th place, finishing with a time of 26:39, while classmate Colin Conroy (Dacula, Ga.) finished 15 seconds behind, taking 12th.
UNC Pembroke won the team title with 25 points. Georgia College finished second with 47 total points and Augusta State third with 52 total points. UNCP's Pardon Ndhlovu took the individual title with a time of 24:28.
The Bobcats are back in action Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championships in Evans, Ga.
