If there's a secret to rebounding, Bre Armstrong figured it out long ago.
The Forestview senior snagged 28 boards in one game alone this season, and her cumulative total has risen fast enough to put her on pace to break the school's career rebounding record.
"My opinion, being a good rebounder is quickness and actually wanting to get the ball," Armstrong said. "Some people say that they want it and some people don't go after it. Me? I'm a go-getter, so I just go after the ball."
Does she ever. Armstrong has racked up 1,021 rebounds for her four-year career, getting her close to Jessica Capers' school career record 1,095. At 15.1 rebounds per game, Armstrong is on pace to surpass Capers' mark during the regular-season finale Feb. 15 at Kings Mountain.
While it's become somewhat common to see high school players reach the 1,000-point career milestone, Armstrong was recently honored for the much rarer feat of 1,000 career rebounds.
"I'm an anticipator, so I'm really watching and paying attention to it," Armstrong said. "I watch and see how the girls shoot it. If she shoots a certain way, I can tell if it's going to be off or if it's going to come off its left side or its right side."
In addition to the career rebound record, Armstrong is closing in on the school's single-season record. She needs 14 to pass Capers' mark of 285 set in 2006. Armstrong already holds the single-game school record with 28 rebounds against Crest in December.
Rebounding tells only part of Armstrong's story. The energetic captain leads her team in scoring (18.7), steals (5.3) and assists (3.8). With 96 steals this season, Armstrong has a chance to break the school's single-season record of 115 set by K.C. Correll in 2003.
"A lot of what she does … it's her want-to," Forestview coach Kevin Gurganus said. "She does not want to lose. She dislikes losing with a passion, which makes her easy to coach."
A freshman starter on Forestview's state championship team three years ago, Armstrong isn't accustomed to losing, and she's helping the Jaguars make a run at another conference championship. Forestview, winner of the last six Big South 3A Conference titles, beat Crest on Tuesday to pull into a tie for first place in the league standings. The 75-72 win avenged a 65-62 road loss in December in what has developed into a heated series.
"Just having someone that will give you a run for your money makes you want it even more," Armstrong said.
Armstrong is still figuring out where she'll play after graduation. Georgia Southern and Limestone have offered scholarships while Lander and Lenoir-Rhyne are also recruiting her, she said.
"I see (her game) translating really, really well (to college)," Gurganus said. "Most teams now are playing an up-tempo, which suits her. If she keeps working on her outside shot and keeps improving, she's going to be a dangerous basketball player."

Making a mistake, screwing up a major project, or seeing your business fail sucks. Being wrong on any scale is a blow to your self-confidence, makes you question the path you're on, and cripples your motivation to move forward. But there's another way to think about failure: it's inevitable. James Clear writes over on his blog:
For some reason, we often expect our first choice to be the optimal choice. However, it's actually quite normal for your first attempt to be incorrect or wrong. When it comes to complex issues like determining the values you want in a partner or selecting the path of your career, your first attempt will rarely lead to the optimal solution.
So if failure is unavoidable, what does that mean for reaching success, and how do you reframe it as productive? Clear has collected a handful of helpful learnings from his failures over the years as an entrepreneur, writer, and photographer. When you're next mired in a mental miasma over a serious misstep, consider his reflections:
Choices that seem poor in hindsight are an indication of growth, not self-worth or intelligence…. If you know enough about something to make the optimal decision on the first try, then you're not challenging yourself.
Given that your first choice is likely to be wrong, the best thing you can do is get started. The faster you learn from being wrong, the sooner you can discover what is right…. The best way to learn is to start practicing.
Break down topics that are too big to master into smaller tasks that can be mastered…. If you want to get better at making accurate first choices, then play in a smaller arena.
The time to trust your gut is when you have the knowledge or experience to back it up. You can trust yourself to make sharp decisions in areas where you already have proven expertise. For everything else, the only way to discover what works is to adopt a philosophy of experimentation.
So not only is being wrong a great thing, given that it more often than not represents an opportunity to grow, it's an essential stepping stone to success. You can decrease your failure rate by dividing huge ideas into smaller, actionable mini-ideas, and by getting lots of practice experimenting, but you won't be able to skip straight from lightbulb to history-making glory.
The trick here is that you have to work out the mental muscle that can recognize failure, learn from it, and leverage those learnings into moving forward. Being wrong is only awesome if you use your error in the right way. As economist and Financial Times columnist Tim Harford writes in his book, Adapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failure:
Success comes through rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right first time.
So screwing up isn't bad. You just have to make sure you're listening closely to yourself and the feedback of those around you to gauge when, why, and how a failure went down in order to spin it into gold.
If you want to fill your customer's needs, you have to listen to what they want. Donna Carpenter, owner of Burton Snowboarding, learned this firsthand when she became President of the company in December 2011. She focused on making Burton the brand of choice for women snowboarders, though after they hit a rapid growth spurt in the '80s and '90s, Burton had become male dominated and lost their female customers' voice. In an interview with Edition F, Carpenter explains:
…We had a children's snowboard for boys that had robots on it. A woman in our soft goods department then said, 'I know there's a demand for a girls' snowboard.' So we went to graphics and said, 'You have to give us a girls' snowboard.' They just turned it purple and it still had robots on it. We laughed and said, 'No one is going to buy it. A girl doesn't want it, because it has robots and a boy won't buy it, because it's purple. And then you're going to say girls don't want snowboards.' So we insisted that they put little girls' graphics on the board like butterflies. It exceeded pre-season projections by 250 percent. Everyone wanted to have it. But the guys didn't know how to do it. They just said, 'We'll pink it and shrink it.' That doesn't work. Women consumers see right through that. They don't want that."
For Carpenter, understanding her client meant also having that same demographic hold leadership positions within the company. In this manner, Carpenter was able to have her own customers readily available and on staff to provide insights and understanding. According to IDEO, human-centered design is about hearing from your users in their own words, not assuming you know what they want. Carpenter's research found that not only do female snowboarder not want purple robots on their snowboards, but that they approach the sport in a completely different way. Male customers compartmentalize their sports, whereas women view it much more holistically. They were interested in the sport as a lifestyle, which required marketing to tell a completely different story.
Unfortunately, it isn't always possible to partner with your direct client on a permanent basis. However, IDEO recommends that interviews can unlock the same understanding. In their design kit The Field Guide to Human-Centered Design, they stress writing down exactly what the interviewee says, not what you think they might mean. It is also important to observe their body language and surroundings, especially if you have the opportunity to interview them in their home or office. You can learn so much more about a person's mindset, behaviour, and lifestyle by talking to them in their daily surroundings. As with all research, come with an open mind and without preconceived notions. The goal is to design to the actual needs or desires of your client, not your perception of what they are.
Delete it: …It can feel scary to say no, but picking the work you won't do is just as important as picking the work you will do. If a teammate gave you a responsibility that you don't believe is the best use of your time, make sure to let them know that you won't be doing it anymore. Try showing them your pie charts to give them context on why you would like to delete this task, rather than just saying 'no.'
Defer it: If you don't have time now, but will in the future, deferring a responsibility is an excellent option…Setting a reminder makes it easier for you to not feel stressed about the work while it's deferred.
Delegate it: For responsibilities that still need to get done, evaluate if it can be reassigned to another teammate. Delegation works best when you can hand a responsibility over completely — now the teammate you delegated to can own both the 'boring' and cool parts of the project, and can take pride in seeing it through to completion.
Diminish it: When you really want to own a responsibility yourself, you can find ways to reduce the time you spend on the work. You can reduce the scope of the work, for example, only tackling the highest priority pieces. You can also stop working when your output is good, rather than perfect.
There's simply no immunity from the paralyzing procrastination that comes with staring up at daunting tasks, no matter how focused and driven you are. The larger and more intimidating the priority, the more likely you are to conjure up excuses to slow your start. And the more time you spend trying to prioritize things, the less time you actually have to move them forward.
The (desired) byproduct of being good at what you do, is that you'll get more to do. Beyoncé can only sing, dance, and be a boss within the same finite temporal constraints as yours. But even she has to turn things down or hand them off. Then, and only then, can she focus on moving her enterprise forward. No matter the size of the project, when relevant tasks come onto your plate that you simply don't have the capacity for, remember the Four D's: delete, defer, delegate or diminish.
Common sense might suggest that the most valuable relationships in your network are the people you have the most distinct connections to—your "strong ties." They're the folks you've worked with closely, share an industry with, known for a long time, or enjoy a mutual trust with.
But if you think creatively, you could see how it might be that your "weak ties," or those you used to consider strong ties but have lost touch with, could also be considered your most valuable relational assets. Due to your close proximity, your "strong ties" might not offer any information that is novel to you. They probably share your knowledge base and viewpoint already, whereas those weak ties are more likely to have been exposed to fresh insights you haven't yet encountered.
Adam Braun, founder of Pencils of Promise and Director of the Global Education Platform (i.e. an experienced networker), discusses a third idea: the power of "dormant ties."
We often focus our efforts on building strong ties where we perceive the greatest value, but science suggests that surprisingly the value lies in your weak and dormant ties. I recently observed this when my wife fractured her toe while we were traveling internationally. I posted this photo on Instagram about her injury, and within 5 minutes I received texts from two different people. One is an old college friend I hadn't spoken to in months who's now a doctor and immediately offered a second opinion on her x-rays.
This happened before my own family saw the post, and got me thinking about the phenomenon that details the strong power of weak ties….
So next time you're in a jam or perhaps looking for your next job, recognize that the true power is in connecting with your weak and dormant ties. Although our gut tells us, "I let that friendship go for a reason," the science says you should reach back out and reconnect.
Social psychologist and Wharton professor Adam Grant, author of the super-popular Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success, discusses dormant ties in detail in his book. Unlike weak ties, dormant ties are built on a strong foundation so that reactivating them is not as awkward or uncomfortable as with weak ties. It's probably less weird to ask for advice from an old friend you've lost contact with over the years than from someone you only slightly know.
Grant draws an important conclusion that takes Braun's understanding a crucial step further. The key is that to liberate the power of dormant career connections, you've got to be a giver, or a generous and other-oriented person. Takers, those who think only of themselves in their careers, won't be able to cash in on dormant or weak professional relationships by virtue of not reciprocating past favors and support:
Dormant ties are the neglected value in our networks, and givers have a distinctive edge over takers and matchers in unlocking this value…. Givers have a track record of generously sharing their knowledge, teaching us their skills, and helping us find jobs without worrying about what's in it for them, so we're glad to help them when they get back in touch with us.
Whether you believe in karma or not, when it comes to networking, what goes around comes around.
London School of Economics professor and happiness scholar Paul Dolan knows a thing or three about crafting a happy life. He's discovered through his research that the best way to design a happier, more content, and fulfilled existence for yourself is to deliberately and regularly audit your activities and resultant feelings, and then bend your routine around those activities that make you happy.
Doland recommends taking one day every week or every month to simply observe yourself:
It's about tuning in to what you are doing, who you are doing it with and how it makes you feel. How much worry, stress, anger, joy or contentment do you experience on a given day?
Your happiness audit should assess not only major elements of your life, like your job and relationship, but also seemingly inconsequential aspects like how you occupy yourself on your commute and what you eat for lunch. Check in with how you're feeling and what you're thinking. You'll find that certain, perhaps surprising, things give you more pleasure than others, just as some detract.
The solution, according to Dolan, is to deliberately make it very easy to do the things that make us happy. Dolan believes we can structure our time and design our surroundings in such a way that we can quickly make a habit out of doing things that make us happy. These changes are small and incremental, but this is precisely why he thinks they work so well.
Happiness seems like such a complex, unattainable construct. But when you tackle your quest for it with a careful and practiced self-awareness, it doesn't seem so unreachable.
In our modern age of Google, we have immediate access to any information we could possibly desire. Unfortunately, this can cause our minds to become lazy. We excuse ourselves from learning because we always have the option to look it up. But when we constantly have to stop what we are doing to look something up, we interrupt our flow of thoughts and our inspiration is halted.
Marc Hare, British shoe designer of Mr Hare, knows that the best way to fuel inspiration is through knowledge, and that knowledge is best gained through experience. In an interview for The Creative Class, Hare explains the difference between really knowing and experiencing a subject versus simply relying on available knowledge:
You can panic. When you are trying to find out about something, you might skim through something and I think there are a lot of people out there who might have read just a Wikipedia page and constitute that as knowledge on the subject. It really isn't. Art is a really good example of that. You can read through the history of an artist and you can see examples of their work but until you go and stand in the gallery in front of that piece of work and actually immerse yourself in it, and bath in the colors, understand the scale and see historically why it's relevant, you don't really know about it.
Hare encourages us to get offline and so do numerous researchers. While access to online material proves to be convenient, it doesn't take hold in your mind. Human development author Joseph Chilton Pearce estimates that the average learner only remembers 3% of a standard 45 minute lecture. That's just over a minute. This is because verbal presentations only stimulate 5% to 20% of the neurons responsible for long-term memory. However, if we learn something through experience, we stimulate 95% of those same memory forming neurons.
As Hare suggests, one way to learn is by actively going and doing. Instead of simply reading about an artist's work, travel to see it in person. Instead of watching an online video about a painting technique, join a workshop and try it for yourself.
If there is no feasible way to experience your desired information in person, professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas Art Markman has a trick to internalize it. Once you have finished reading or listening to the information, explain it back to yourself so that you fully understand the topic. Just because you read it online, doesn't mean that you will remember it. As Hare reminds us that the internet "…doesn't teach you everything, it just gives you access to everything."

Director's service celebrated
On Aug. 2, staff and board members of the Neuse Regional Library System celebrated 40 years of service for Agnes W. Ho, director of libraries. The ceremony included a photographic retrospective and spoken and musical tributes to Ho from members of the staff and boards.
Ho joined the Neuse Regional Library July 1, 1973. New to the area, she began her library career as a reference librarian at the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library. Between then and 1994, she moved through various positions there and on the regional level, officially being named Neuse Regional Library director June 1, 1994.
"I would like to sincerely thank all of my staff and the members of our library's boards for honoring me on this day," said Ho. "Our library system would not be as successful as it is without such supportive boards and such talented staff."
During Ho's years, the library profession has seen dramatic technological changes: the introduction of VHS cassettes, audiobooks, computers and CD-ROMS; DVDs, the Internet, audiobooks and E-Books. She also has seen dramatic growth in the Neuse Regional Library System, including the expansion and renovation of the Kinston and Greene County libraries in 2008 and 2012, respectively.
"After I became library director in 1994, I began to see the need for expansion," said Ho. "The library is currently a very different place than it was when I began my career, and the need for computer technology, as well as the growth of our community, has led the library to require additional floor space for new services."
Board members offered numerous thoughts on Ho's years of service.
"When I think of Mrs. Ho's service to our library, what first comes to mind is the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'," said Lloyd Moody, chairman of the Neuse Regional Library Board. "Kinston is Bedford Falls and Agnes is our George Bailey. Our library would not nearly be what it is today without her, and we are truly fortunate to have her."
Peggy Greene, chairman of the Greene County library board, echoed those sentiments.
"Greene County has a modern, up-to-date library because of the leadership, planning and hard work of Mrs. Agnes Ho," said Greene, also a member of the Neuse Regional Library Board. "When the library renovation and expansion project was started, there were a lot of challenges, but Mrs. Ho overcame them, and because of her, residents now enjoy one of the nicest libraries in this area."
Anna Craft, a member of the Neuse Regional and Jones County library boards, also extended praise.
"The citizens of the three counties within the Neuse Regional Library System are all extremely fortunate to have a director of libraries who displays the leadership and dedication to our library that Mrs. Ho does," said Craft.
Carol Southerland attested to Ho's leadership from a local and state perspective.
"My enduring impression of Agnes' tenure at our library is a feeling of safety with her at the helm," said Southerland, a board member of the Kinston-Lenoir County Friends of the Library. "As a former board member of the North Carolina Library Association, I can proudly attest first-hand that our library system was consistently one of the finest libraries per-capita in the state, and that can be attributed directly to Agnes' strong leadership."
Despite her long tenure, Ho is eager to continue working.
"I like to tell people that 'retirement' is not a word that is currently in my vocabulary," said Ho. "That may change in a few years, but in the meantime, I am looking forward to continuing to work with our boards and staff to provide our community with the best libraries that we can give them."

HAVELOCK — Two people were taken to the hospital after a three-vehicle wreck Monday afternoon on Miller Boulevard in Havelock.
The crashed involved a Craven Area Rural Transit System (CARTS) van that had been stopped on the road to pick up a passenger.
The crash happened during light rain around 3:30 p.m. in front of a home at 313 Miller Blvd. A black Toyota Forerunner driven by Jeff Erdman of Havelock rear-ended a red Ford Mustang driven by Michael Roy, pushing the Mustang into the back of the CARTS van.
The Mustang had been stopped behind the CARTS van when it was struck by the Forerunner, according to witnesses.
"I bent down to take a sip of my drink and that quick," Erdman said of the wreck.
A female passenger in the car and one passenger in the CARTS van were taken to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern. Their names and conditions were not immediately available.
"I'm just glad no one was hurt seriously," said Erdman, who was alone at the time of the wreck.
Erdman refused treatment at the scene.
"I just bought this truck," he said. "It's not 30 days old. It's like there's no traction on these tires or something."
The wreck happened in front of Debbie Bannon's home as the CARTS van was stopped to pick up her son.
"This happens too much," Bannon said. "People just drive on top of each other. Too close."
Havelock police are investigating the crash.

Georgia Hydropower Investment Promotion Project
2010-2012 || U.S. Agency for International Development
Georgia is blessed with enviable water resources that are well suited to hydropower generation. Understandably, the Government of Georgia's energy policy is to leverage the electricity generating potential its many rivers offer to increase energy security, and to enhance electricity exports into neighboring and regional markets. To support these objectives, and building on its previous work in the local energy sector, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) created the 3-year Hydropower Investment Promotion Project (HIPP) to provide technical assistance to the Government of Georgia. As HIPP promotes private investment in small and medium sized run-of-river type hydropower plants that require insignificant impoundment of water, USAID has been able to help Georgia meet its energy security goals with minimal social and environmental impacts.
By October 2012, the Deloitte team had identified and enabled the development of 15 new hydroplant projects, with a combined capacity of over 500 MW, and worth an estimated $800 million in capital investment. In addition to surpassing the 400 MW target USAID set for the project, Deloitte has also exceeded its goals on five other key metrics. In recognition of these achievements, as part of a 2012 project review, USAID assessed Deloitte's performance as "exceptional" in all areas, including our ability to effectively manage a range of complicated relationships with multiple governments, electricity sector entities, developers, investors and other energy sector stakeholders.
USAID created HIPP to work with local and international partners to secure investment in Georgia's renewable energy resources. The project's objectives include:
High Quality HIPP Projects:
HIPP's engineering team has analyzed over 150 potential run-of-river sites across Georgia, ranging from 5 MW to 120 MW in generating capacity. HIPP has carried out specific analysis of hydropower projects on 8 river basins and, to date, has published dozens of high quality pre-feasibility and specific project assessment studies. Although run-of-river plants do not require large dams or water storage, HIPP's prefeasibility studies still work to promote increased environmental awareness by analyzing environmental receptors around each site in a level of detail that goes beyond industry norms.
Civil Society Involvement:
Through HIPP, Deloitte is committed to developing hydro projects in a way that is socially responsible. To this end, the project holds public awareness workshops (PAW) to encourage public involvement in the decision making process for selecting, siting and designing new plant. By mid-2012, HIPP had conducted 6 PAWs covering 25 hydropower sites. The most recent PAW, dedicated to the Upper-Enguri River Basin, was held in Ushguli, the highest inhabited placed in Europe. By building awareness of particular environmental and social issues related to new hydro plants in this way, HIPP has found that local residents often wish to take part in the planning and implementation process for proposed new units. The Deloitte team has made significant changes during the project planning phase as a result of local community interest and suggestions.
USAID's HIPP is also helping the Government of Georgia to design and develop an Electricity Trading Mechanism, to provide transmission paths, trading tools and risk mitigation options to clean energy project developers so they can sell their electricity into regional electricity markets. Under this component of the project, which will establish the rule of law within the power sector, Deloitte is building the capacity of the Regulator, the Market Operator and the Transmission System Operator, while simultaneously helping Georgia to harmonize with EU power markets.

I found this fragrance by chance back in the 90's, and have loved it ever since. Not too long after I started wearing it, it was discontinued. Why would they get rid of such a beautiful fragrance!?!? Azzaro needs to bring this one back!! This website seems to be the only place I can find it now, and that is on a hit or miss basis.

I have loved Azzaro's Eau Belle for almost 20 years and I am so disappointed that it is not available. People compliment me ALL the time when I am wearing it and all of my close friends and family members have also purchased it themselves because they were so in love with the scent and how awesome it smelled on me. I have looked everywhere for my little "blue snowman shaped bottle" and have only found it in The Bahamas, once at a Mall Kiosk (but it was spoiled and smelled awful) and then I purchased a few small bottles from Fragrance Net when you had them available. Ever since that purchase from you though, it has been out-of-stock. Please let me know when you will have the Azzaro Eau Belle available for purchase.

Eau Belle, by Azzaro---I have been wearing this every day, for any occasion, for over 15 years, since I discovered it in Paris. It is light, pleasant, not overwhelming but very subtle. People notice it---"what is that?" even after a few hours. It seems to suit my body chemistry---some scents smell awful on me but this is always refreshing and sweet. And not too sweet---not too flowery. Hard to describe... Also sometimes hard to find, if you don't happen to be able to go to Paris on a whim. Fragrance Net is now about the only place left in this country where I can find it.

Hard to believe I have been a fan of this fragrance for more than 10 years now. I love it just as much now as I did when it was first introduced. It is perfect if you're looking for something light but noticable. Enjoy!

I adore this scent. Subtle yet lasts.. it has that, turn yer head when someone walks by wearing it, and wanting it - smell. Powdery, floral, and citrus - lovely.

Nearly 50 dogs, ranging in age from 12 weeks to five years, were found yesterday living in the windowless basement of a six-story apartment building in the Bronx. The space, which served as a makeshift dog fighting arena, was littered with crude wooden cages and had the capacity for roughly 100 spectators. Raul Sanchez, the building's superintendant, was taken into custody and charged with animal fighting, a felony.
Working closely with the NYPD Vice Enforcement Division and the Bronx District Attorney's Office, our team played a critical role in the rescue of the dogs, forensic evidence collection and on-scene documentation.
Also discovered on scene were a loaded .25-caliber handgun, U.S. currency, and other equipment associated with dog fighting—including dog treadmills, harnesses, muzzles, syringes and a shopping cart full of raw chicken parts.
"Organized dog fighting is a brutal form of animal abuse where dogs are exploited and forced to fight as their owners profit from their torture," says Howard Lawrence, Senior Director of Operations for the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement. "The dogs we saw today exhibited scarring and injuries consistent with fighting dogs. We're determined to protect New York City's animals from this form of cruelty."
The dogs, many of whom showed scars from fighting, were transported to a temporary shelter for further evaluation by our emergency response medical team. The ASPCA will continue to provide legal support to the Bronx District Attorney's Office to help prosecute the case.
The investigation is ongoing.
Thank you NYPD for rescuing these dogs. Please put them up for adoption...choose to keep them alive. The criminals, however, do what you want with them. Maybe lock them in a basement? Tie them to a treadmill? Inject them with whatever they injected the dogs with. NYPD are the true heroes here.
Absolutely horrible!! I hope whoever was associated with this rots in hell!
People that engage in these acts literally make me SICK! This is one small victory in a much larger fight, these people must be stopped. Thank you to the ASPCA for aiding as much as possible. I sincerely hope the innocent dogs do not become victims of death because of the cruel mistreatment. They can be rehabiliated!!!
i know probably half of them will have to be put down. still pitbulls can be a loving breed and it's people like this that make humans fear them. i hope they put this guy in jail for a long time.
I agree pitbulls are very loving dogs, I had one and he was the best dog I ever had the pleasure to be gaurdian of because that is what we are we are there guardians, we are intrusted to keep them safe, warm, make sure they have plenty of clean water and food but most important love because this is all they want. You can abuse any breed of dog they way the inhuman guardians of the dog fighting dogs do and turn them into fighters they just use pitbulls because of their strong jaws and because they are so loyal they will do what ever there guardian asks of them because all they want to do is please them and hope that if they do they will receive a little kindness just as you hear everywhere they give unconditional love unlike the human species
Thank god that these poor babies were saved! Humans are a nasty species. Its all about making money and they dont care who or what they hurt or kill in the process, we have to be the worst species ever created!! I pray that one day before i die i get to see a change where animals with get the same sort of justice as us humans do! They deserve it, poor things!
The people who do this are too sorry to live - just gutter trash. Thank you so much for the work that you do even though it is heartbreaking at times. Pleae make sure these people receive the most severe punishment possible.
Thank you with all my heart. Only the Human Race would pre meditatively choose to exploit another species. What is the matter with us?
Thank you for actually doing something about this.I'm sick of hearing all of these horror stories that don't have happy endings like this. The fcat that dog fighting is still prevalent today makes me sick. I'm sure the owner wil get off with a slap on the wrist like the majority of animal cruelty cases. If i ever encountered a person this heartless to torture innocent creatures i cant even tell you what i'd do just to protect myself. Thank you again for helping these dogs.
are you taking any steps to make sure these dogs have a second chance or are you relying on the city services to do that..which are underfunded by the way and you receive millions in donations because people expect you to use the money for cases like this. You should clear this up..people are not going to be happy with you if this is the case.

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
Bless dear little Zack and bless all of you wonderful people who made his amazing transformation possible. I always rest assured that the money I am able to send to you will be well-spent.
While I will always appreciate what you do for helpless animals, and I will always donate to the cause, I was disappointed to learn that it was literally impossible to try to adopt one of these Jack Russells from this horrible situation. My husband & I have had two Jacks for approx. 16 yrs. We absolutely love them! They are our children. When I heard about this puppy mill I made several calls to offer assistance by way of adoption. I made several calls to 3 states only to get nowhere with my efforts. No one could help me help a dog! And I do understand the time it takes to get these dogs thru the mental & physical transition. I was willing to wait. I was willing to drive to Michigan. I still got nowhere. It might be a good idea to explain to folks how this process works, or if adoption is just not an option. Thanks for your time & efforts, however, this experience was sad....
I'm so happy for Zack! What a cutie. Many thanks to all of you at the ASPCA for the difference you make in these animals' lives.
Thank you once again ASPCA. I am a long time contributor to your wonderful organization. My wife and I recently finalized the adoption of 2 1/2 year old brother and sister cats. We are both on fixed incomes through Social Securty Disability and do not have much in the way of disposable income. However, we feel so strongly that it is vitally important to contribute what we can to help these precious souls. I just want people to know that even the $20 per month that we send in helps in so many ways. On behalf of my wife, myself and our beautiful new babies Lady and Pride, thank you for all you do and we urge anyone who reads this to give whatever they can to this vital cause, even if it is just a small amount. The animals depend on our support and if you have ever experienced the joy and love that an animal can provide to you, you will certainly understand how worthy of a cause this is.
It is so nice to see the after videos! he is a cute little guy and every pooch deserves love and every puppy mill needs to be closed down and made to pay the price for what they did to innocent pups. Finds need to be large enough that its not worth the risk. Maybe then things would change!!!
I have a puppy mill rescue and every time I see these videos, I cry. My rescue, Astro, took a year of constant love and training before he trusted me enough to crawl in my lap! Keep up this wonderful work, you guys. Every dog is worth it.
you guys are angels and will be blessed. I wish I could have a job like you. These little creatures are Gods gifts to people I pray everyday that eveil people that run mills get it until then I pray they get what they deserve. Thank you ASPCA and the family that got Zack was blessed as was he. I cry every time I see the things you guys do. God Bless you!!!!
My hat is off to all you GREAT workers in saving these wonderful animals!! Really good to see great endings. Congrats!

Updated at 10:02 a.m.
Authorities identified Monday a kayaker whose body was recovered from Queens Creek over the weekend.
Graham Hoard, 28, of Swansboro, disappeared while kayaking Saturday. His body was discovered Sunday morning. Hoard's age had previously been misreported by authorities as 26.
Hoard's fiancée Keisha Burgess said he had gone out fishing and when it began to get dark she began to worry. She said she called the authorities after 8 p.m.
She said Hoard was a terrific person.
"He was a great guy, easy going," she said. "He would do anything for you."
Her father, Johnny Burgess said Hoard was a very serious fisherman who knew the area well.
While fishing on Queens Creek on Saturday, Swansboro resident and retired Marine Col. Bob Hayes spotted an unattended kayak in shallow water. He told The Daily News he took the kayak home to try and find its owner. Later in the day he saw a news report about a missing kayaker and realized he might have the missing kayak, so he called the Onslow County Sheriff's Office.
The search for Hoard was already well underway. Federal, state and local rescue workers looked for him Saturday night before calling off the search due to heavy fog in the area.
Queens Creek is shallow and full of unseen shoals and oyster bars, Coast Guard spokesman Craig Sanders said. He added that the Coast Guard used special night vision equipment to search for Hoard Saturday night at the mouth of Queens Creek.
On Sunday the search resumed with a helicopter from Cherry Point and boats from the N.C. Marine Patrol and the Swansboro and Western Carteret fire departments.
Hayes assisted in the search, guiding searchers to the spot where he found the kayak the day before.
"They were searching on the east side of Queens Creek and I told them, 'You're in the wrong spot,'" Hayes said.
Hayes said the body was dressed in jeans and a white shirt and still wearing sunglasses.
"He had a few cuts on his face," Hayes said, adding that rescue personnel quickly placed the body in a bag and transported it to a dock downstream.
Hoard's body was found in the water of Queens Creek adjacent to Halls Creek, not far from where he was believed to have been last seen, Swansboro Fire Chief Bob Penrod said.
The circumstances surrounding Hoard's death are still being investigated, but foul play is not suspected, authorities said.
Daily News staffer Mike McHugh contributed to this report. Contact Daily News Senior Reporter Lindell Kay at 910-219-8455 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter and friend him on Facebook @ 1lindell.
Editor's note: Hoard's age has been updated.

Arnaud Astruc said 1 year ago:
You could either be a brilliant lyricist or a brilliant producer. Kanye used to be a brilliant lyricist but then he got caught up in his own fame and riches and kind of forgot about that. We see glimpses of it in his later work, but not as good as he used to.
For my money though, he has always been an amazing producer and still is. @Shinji - no mater how many samples he uses to make up a melody or a track, he is still an artist in its purest form.
As @James Perez says, sampling is an integral part of the hip-hop culture. And Kayne is really pushing the boundaries of it on Yeezus. The fast cuts, the empty spaces, the juxtaposition - it's all incredible art.
Shinji Hideaki said 1 year ago:
Kanye West is a f***ing 2-bit egotistical childish douchebag who thinks he's the incarnation of Jesus or some s*** who's in bitter need of a reality check. He thinks the entire world is suppose to kiss the toilet he shits in. NO. He better be f***ing happy with what he has because frankly all he does is take things for granted and when he realizes its never enough, he whines like a teenage b**** on her period. And how dare this f***er compares himself to Kurt Cobain? He will never be like him. The closest he can get to being like him is blowing his brains out with a shotgun. And then he says he's the voice of this generation. I'd rather cut my ears off than have someone like him "enlighten" me. And what type of d****** names their kid after a direction? If you ask me, Kanye West is like a darker version of Justin Bieber, just more stupid in his own way, more childish for stealing the mike from Taylor Swift, and a lot more arrogant. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you @Arnaud about sampling music, but COME ON! HE SAMPLED OVER 1000 SONGS! Would it kill him to get his own idea and turn into a track, instead of sampling it and adding to this extensive list?
Arnaud Astruc said 1 year ago:
@James Perez. I fully agree with you. What are these people on about - no originality? Kanye is one of the most creative hip-hop producers around and Yeezus just proves it - some of his best work yet. The way he structures his tracks is amazing - don't think any of this is sheer fluke - he's extremely talented. Some of the sample compositions he puts together are very complex and he pulls them off so easily.
As for originality - what does being really original mean? Everything we say and do is influenced by something else. Sampling something is a way to pay respect to that track and evolve it into something newer.
Kanye's tracks are put together to challenge you and evoke a reaction - which is exactly what he's getting.
Waylon Ebuen said 1 year ago:
Kanye West is the best.

didnt mean to post it three times but that shud get the point across haha
James Perez said 1 year ago:
i cant believe so many people are saying this stuff. none of you could think to put samples together the way kanye does therefore its original. and like lamont just said... its the basis of hip hop seriously guys know ur s***. sampling is how the genre started
Shinji Hideaki said 1 year ago:
no original songs from this guy
Lamont Andrade said 1 year ago:
bruh every producer samples lol wtf are yall talking about saying he sucks and he cant come up with his own sound rap is based off sampling off other records yall dont know anything about rap or hip hop
tre' beezy said 1 year ago:
why do people hate kanye..he has kept soul in music unlike this trap s*** we got..plus he has made songs from scratch for you d******es claiming he has no origionalitu..o dont see yall with plenty of grammies and people commin to yall for beats so stfu..sampling is art not stealing..yall piss me off with that s*** i swear
Atwal Sides said 1 year ago:
No originality from this guy
@Flash Arrowfire Raison
Plenty. For one, the raps are original. Two, I'm willing to bet you haven't heard the stuff he's done recently, seeing how it isn't even close to "pappy."

Awful. Has this man ever had an original thought? Over hyped, cheesy American pap. No stars.

Oh, I love the dick who one-star'd all the Yeezus sample.
Izeytope96 said 2 years ago:
@Billie Jewell: I think your on the wrong site. All of us here love the art of sampling and Kanye West Is widely known as one of the greatest in this art form. If you can't at least have some appreciation for sampling then I think you need to ask an admin to deactivate your account on this site and stop coming to stop coming to Whosampled.com. If you don't like sampling I don't see why your even on this site in the first place except to troll and promote Peven Everrett's music.
Billie Jewell said 2 years ago:
I thought Kanye was the best musician why can't he make his own music then? HAHAHA such low standards people have these days. Will bring a new smile to my face the next time some ignorant Kanye fan tells me how great he is. 304 songs sampled. People need to drop these zeroes. We have nothing to look back on as our own in this generation as long as people think people like Kanye know anything about music. On top of that it takes so much personnel to actually make his albums. Thank god for cats like Peven Everett that perform all of his own tracks that he writes and self produces. ALONE!

If you are continuously using the generator, Rated output is the maximum power output at which we recommend you use it to allow for power fluctuations in the demand from the devices you have running.
So what is your power requirement? To determine the ideal generator for your needs, just follow these simple steps:
For a more detailed description of how to work out your power requirement see our First time buyers guide in the Why Honda? section.
While all Honda Generators are portable by definition, our handy EU range is particularly light and compact, even suitable for carrying around. Many of our larger models include optional or standard wheel kits and a lifting hook for easy movement of the generator from storage to the work site. Consider the options when selecting the right model for your application.
To help you can slide the scale to give you the weight of the generator when it has no fuel and no oil in it.
The Honda range includes some unique technology to give you the smoothest output of power.
Our larger generators are fitted with Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) technology to maintain a constant output voltage, regardless of changes in the equipment load. AVR provides power that is also cleaner than the mains and a must for powering sensitive electronics and computer equipment.
For the purest power output, look for Hondas unique Inverter technology.
Generated power is passed through a microprocessor that converts power to DC, then back to AC for stable current with a pure sine wave, free of surges or spikes. Inverter technology ensures safe operation of the latest electronic equipment from computers to the most sophisticated technical equipment.
