Skip to comments.'Obama Presidential Library' float at Norfolk parade draws criticism (Oh noes, a outhouse)
Posted on 07/07/2014 5:46:25 AM PDT by RoosterRedux
A Fourth of July parade float that depicted a figure standing outside an outhouse labeled the Obama Presidential Library has created a stir on social media and is also receiving criticism in Norfolk, Nebraska.
The float, in Norfolks annual Independence Day parade, was on a flatbed trailer being pulled by a blue pickup truck. The figure was dressed in overalls and standing next to a walker outside of the outhouse. The hands and head of the figure were greenish and appeared to be zombielike; the hands were pressed against the sides of the figures head. Miniature American flags were atop the float and on the truck.
Neither the float nor the pickup identified a sponsor; a sign in the windshield said it was entry No. 29.
Liz Guthrie of Pierce, Nebraska, took a photo of the float that has been widely circulated on social media.
From where she watched the parade, Guthrie said she could hear the crowd laughing and clapping as the float passed by.
Norfolk resident Glory Kathurima said she attended the parade with her 9-year-old daughter. As a black woman living in Norfolk, Kathurima said she found the float to be an offensive depiction of the president. She emailed Norfolk Mayor Sue Fuchtman as well as the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce and the Norfolk Daily News to voice her disapproval. She also wrote to the Norfolk Odd Fellows Lodge, which coordinated the parade.

An outhouse for Obama's Library is very appropriate since everything he touches turns to crap.He has the Reverse Midas touch.
I personally think he likes it that way.
Why did this offend some...too close to the truth?
And inside this "lie-bury" is the content of all his speeches ..
Like or not, little bath house barry bastard boy will be an 'untouchable' once he's finished doing his masters' work destroying the we the people Republic. A more disgusting and treacherous enemy of America they could not have found to place in the Lie House.
As a white man living in America, I fail to see why the color of her skin gives her opinion any additional standing.
|Freedom ≠ Free Stuff☭
|I, for one, welcome our new Cybernetic Overlords /.
But this was OK?
Dear Glory Kathurima, GET OVER IT! You do not have the right to not be offended.
Of course, the only black person in Norfolk seemed to think it was RACIST.
This political satire was perfectly on point. It was not racist, it was perfectly in line with what freedom of speech was intended to protect. As noted above, the concept that ultimately his legacy is one of turning things to crap is too true for his followers to accept - and like with any criticism of this president and his policies, attributed by his followers to racism.
No, it was not nice - as the young girl complained. Frankly, so what. Obama's arrogant attitude and actions are not nice - and we have to live with and pay for his decisions. Was he nice when instead of actually negotiating with Republicans he simply tells them "I won" or "We won - get over it."
When it comes to racism, this child needs a little education about who makes remarks based on race - such as Obama saying:
"We dont mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.
Obama is scum for saying that knowing the racial connotation.
Why such a "big deal" over this I ask?
Love Potion Number 29
So what? I'm offended by this president every damn day. The fact that someone's offended is irrelevant to any argument.
The TV station was showing its pro-Obama bias instead of shedding light on the actual spirit of the community (which is clearly fed up with Obama).
Just another example of trying to influence the news instead of simply reporting it.
The TV station had to profile to find the person.
Will someone in Norfolk, NE please tell the "Black" woman that the "Obama Presidential Libarary float, is not racist, nor offensive, for the simple reason that Barack Hussein Obama is not an African-American...he is a Muslim, America Hater, from head to toe...period, working actively to destroy the United States of America!!!!!! Hail, Hitler, Alinsky, Wright, Ayres, etc. End of story!!!
As a white Nebraskan who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I see nothing wrong with this expression of free speech. I find the POS democrat currently crapping on the Constitution and the office to be offensive.
Lady, your opinions are yours and you are welcome to take them along with the kenyan bastard you voted for along with the democrat party and stuff it.
It is time.
Not that I object to your visual flashback, but I seem to recall that the float you show was somewhere in Europe.
Obama should have no trouble filling it ,LOL
His election was the perfect crime.
What exactly would be in the library since everything in his world is sealed and we are not allowed to see?
The only way to be patriotic and respect the Presidency is to disrespect the piece of subhuman pig excrement that has stolen it, bitterly hates America and Americans, and is doing its level, evil best to destroy all the good that is genuinely American. HOORAY FOR THE FLOAT!!!
"Obama is scum for saying that knowing the racial connotation."
For many of the things this arrogant individual has done, he is lower than scum.

Graduate Programs
Every graduate degree candidate must be admitted through one of the 24 graduate departments; in nearly all cases financial aid is arranged through departmental auspices, and the degree or degrees which are earned will be awarded only upon recommendation of the department in which the student is registered. In short, every graduate student, including those who are working on interdepartmental programs under the guidance of standing or specially created interdepartmental committees, must have a "home" in some department. If you have questions about a specific department please contact their office directly.

Greetings from 8 Exposures Land! It's good to see you again! This week in our instant film Q&A series, we spoke with Balthazar Simões…
1) What kind of Polaroid camera(s) do you use?
My favorite Polaroid cameras are my SX-70 (of course) and a Polaroid 350. I have a Spectra, too and a Polaroid Studio Express 484 that has 4 lenses and is quite fun.
2) Why do you like instant photography?
Because it's an experience of true magic. Because it's an instant tangible artifact. Because each image is one-of-a-kind and can't be reproduced.
3) What is your earliest memory of instant film?
My Grandpa was always the one with the cameras when I was growing up. I can still remember the feeling of watching a polaroid develop when we went to visit my grandparents for Christmas. Most things become less magical as we grow older, but it persists with my experience of instant film. My Grandpa passed away two summers ago and I was recently given all of his cameras. Sadly, he no longer had his Polaroid cameras, but he had quite a few film cameras that I now cherish. One of the cameras still had some film in it, and I just had it developed last week. All the photos were of this vase of tulips. I eventually was able to figure out that they were taken on their last wedding anniversary before he died. At that point he could hardly see and it's precious to me that those were probably the last photos he ever took.
4) What's your favorite Impossible film type?
I've adored a few batches of PX 680 (in particular the beta test batch and the batch that had a stripe defect). The PX 70 Color Shade has been very good to me. I have some PX 70 Color Shade Cool on the way (at last!) and I can't wait to try it out. I've taken many shots with various types of the Silver Shade films that I love, but my true love is color.
5) What are your favorite subjects to photograph?
People. I'm so curious about people. I also get obsessed with certain colors and tones and patterns.
6) Tell us about a project you're working on.
My biggest ongoing project is my letter and Polaroid project. The letter is my favorite writing medium, and a few years ago I decided to let anyone request a letter from me. A little while after I began writing letters, Zora Strangefields (one of the lovely ladies behind Tickl Magazine) requested one and I included a Polaroid with her letter. After that, I thought that I should be sending Polaroids with all the letters. What I like about both the letter and the Polaroid is that they are each unique and can't be reproduced. At this point I've sent out almost 500 to people all over the world. I choose each Polaroid carefully for the person I'm writing to, and it gets connected to the context of the letter. I scan each letter and Polaroid before I mail them out. This year I plan to put together a book of a small selection of them.
7) Who are your favorite photographers, instant or otherwise?
Picking favorites is so hard for me. I'll give it a shot: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jan Saudek, Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Guy Bourdin, Traci Lynn Matlock, Barbara Nitke, Helmut Newton, Sophie Calle (she's obviously much more than a photographer). There are so many I've left out.
8) If you could take a photo of anyone or anything what would it be?
Old fishermen in Portugal. And Sophie Calle. She's my hero.
About Balthazar
I'm from a small seaside town in Portugal. I live curiously.
Thanks to Balthazar for taking part in 8 Exposures. You can follow him on Twitter at @callmebalthazar.

MARTINSBURG - Surrounded by flowers of every color, Anthony Hess works frantically because Valentine's Day is always busy - especially as customers call or drop by his Queen Street shop to place last-minute orders.
That would normally be good news, but this year's holiday is a little different, since it falls on a Friday and deliveries present a special problem in light of the area's snowfall.
But not unlike the postal service, Hess, co-owner of Flowers Unlimited along with Mark Jordan, is ready for anything and plans to make customer deliveries regardless of the weather.
Article Photos
Journal photo by Ron Agnir
Anthony Hess and Elizabeth Blackburn put together flower arrangements for Valentine's Day at Flowers Unlimited in Martinsburg on Wednesday.
The shop's entire crew - including its other floral designers, Mary Flatness, Willie Smedley, Elizabeth Blackburn and Dennis Dodson - are busy working alongside him as they handle hundreds of orders.
"Regardless of the weather, we have to be organized because this is the single biggest holiday of the year when it comes to flowers," Hess said.
He also planned ahead in other ways - for example, some people, like school personnel, got their holiday flowers Wednesday.
"We like to keep it kind of flirty for them, so that their friends and coworkers can admire their flowers while they are at work. That makes it a lot more fun for them," he said, pausing momentarily as he placed a red rose in a bouquet.
Even bad roads have already been taken into account, Hess said.
"We have people with four-wheel-drive vehicles who want to help us make deliveries if we need them. It is just great because of the number of people who have been offering to do this. They have just been coming out of the woodwork," he said.
No stranger to snow and slick roads, Hess said volunteers have previously helped make deliveries in four-wheel-drive trucks.
"Remember four years ago when we had that big ice storm? It was wild, but to make things worse, it actually happened on the actual day - on Valentine's Day. So they helped us then, just to get the flowers out," he said.
"It went great. We couldn't go far out, but we were able to make our deliveries in town and a little ways out of town. But so far this winter, with all the snow and ice we've had, you don't have to go very far to find slick roads and streets. We still strive to get our flowers out," Hess said.
While roses remain the premier Valentine's Day flower - especially red, pink and lavender ones - many customers are looking for something a little more colorful or exotic such as ginger or bird-of-paradise, he said.
"I do understand that, because color can really brighten your mood on a dark winter day. And for us, we really want our customers to enjoy their flowers. I really enjoy the passion of flowers, taking someone's sentiment and turning it into their dream - bringing their feelings alive through flowers," Hess said.

Given the subject line -- and funding sources...
The replacement for the HD+ will be a 12" display running Win8 RT <G>

As to opinions that end-users don't care about the OS, they write "... Perhaps most importantly, it's running stock Android Jelly Bean. [...] Stock Android is a new tactic for Vizio: although the company skinned its first Android tablet, Vizio CTO Matt McRae says he thinks Android has improved to the point where it doesn't need to be skinned anymore, and customers are saying they want stock Android anyway."
Have people been saying that there are no end-users who care about OS? If so, I must have filtered it out since its as silly as "all people prefer X form factor for the reading that they do".
Clearly some end-users care, since Vizio finds end-users who care in their part of the market. Clearly it is not the case that most end-users care very deeply ~ since if most end-users cared deeply about getting stock Android OS, Amazon's sales would not be as strong as they are.

Looks like interersting things for eink are also just on the horizon. They're demonstrating color eink Triton 2 displays in live products, though sadly it appears to bring glare to eink displays. I'd missed the flexible reader that looks a LOT like a NST from mid-2012. Impressive watching the guy pound on it. Apparently on sale in Russia now.
A glary color eInk seems like it is losing half the point of eInk ~ however, most people read textbooks inside, and long battery life is really important for a eTextbook reader, so that might be where that is heading. The flexible reader was interesting ~ I wonder how low the build cost is, since it looked like it wasn't touchscreen, and the flexibility would be a big appeal in a cheap "knockabout" reader.
Re: As NOOKs get bigger, tablets get smaller5ivedom Feb 2, 2013 8:59 AM (in response to bobstro)
That really is very interesting. That a Tablet maker is focusing on the Reading Market.
I think Vizio is a very dangerous company.
There's a void now. Actually a few voids.
With Steve Jobs gone Apple loses two main things
A) Innovation and creating the 'feeling of New and Cool'.
B) Making products for the higher end. For people who are willing to pay twice for something better.
Who can step in?
Well, it's companies like Vizio for the 'new and cool'.
And companies like Sony and Microsoft for the high end. If you think about it Surface is more about the high end customers than anyone else.
I think Vizio wants to first find a strong foothold, and that may very well be the 'Reading Tablet' market. Then it will start leveraging economies of scale and its learnings to expand.
Regarding this:
The replacement for the HD+ will be a 12" display running Win8 RT
Yes, I would bet on this happening sooner or later.
Windows 8 App Store is growing at a fast rate. There are also some high quality apps showing up. I'm seeing apps from companies like Crowdstar (which you would not expect since they are very facebook and iOS focused).
Windows 8 can provide an in-between app store between Apple and Android.
B&N's App Store is a major disadvantage for it due to the lack of breadth. So at some point of time it will reach the stage where making a Windows 8 based Reading Tablet that uses Windows 8 App Store is a much, much better solution.

Regarding the subject line ~ is the Nook HD bigger than the NC/NT? I know that the NST Glow is no bigger than the BST.
For "Nooks get bigger" to be accurate, there's have to be a sprawling waistline across the whole product line, and not just the introduction of one device in the 10" niche ~ that is smaller than some of its competition.

Comprehensive Addictive Behaviors and Disorders, Volume 3
Print book
Interventions for Addiction examines a wide range of responses to addictive behaviors, including psychosocial treatments, pharmacological treatments, provision of health care to addicted individuals, prevention, and public policy issues. Its focus is on the practical application of information covered in the two previous volumes of the series, Comprehensive Addictive Behaviors and Disorders.
Readers will find information on treatments beyond commonly used methods, including Internet-based and faith-based therapies, and criminal justice interventions. The volume features extensive coverage of pharmacotherapies for each of the major drugs of abuse—including disulfiram, buprenorphine, naltrexone, and others—as well as for behavioral addictions. In considering public policy, the book examines legislative efforts, price controls, and limits on advertising, as well as World Health Organization (WHO) efforts.
Interventions for Addiction is one of three volumes comprising the 2,500-page series, Comprehensive Addictive Behaviors and Disorders. This series provides the most complete collection of current knowledge on addictive behaviors and disorders to date. In short, it is the definitive reference work on addictions.

MOUNT PLEASANT - When the weather warms and the South Carolina humidity hangs like a soggy blanket along the coast, you can often find an entrepreneur selling shrimp out of the back of a pickup truck by the road with a hand-scrawled sign promoting it as both fresh and local. There's a chance it's neither.
And the fresh, local, red snapper you order as you watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico from the deck of a seafood place in Florida may just turn out to be none of the above.
In a nation where 92 percent of seafood is imported and labeling fraud is rife, both state and federal lawmakers are moving to pass laws to help make sure customers are getting the seafood they are paying for.
A seafood labeling law in the South Carolina General Assembly would mean that, among other things, what is advertised as fresh local shrimp is what it says - not imported and frozen. It would make it a misdemeanor to intentionally mislabel seafood.
A bill introduced this year by Maryland state delegate Eric Luedtke imposes penalties for intentionally mislabeling seafood like the Chesapeake Bay's iconic blue crab. And the governor of Washington last year signed a bill requiring all processed fish and shellfish to be labeled by their common names to avoid confusing consumers.
In Washington, the so-called SAFE Act - the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood Act - has been introduced in both chambers of Congress. It would require information, such as where and when seafood was caught, to follow seafood through final sale.
"It's gotten a lot worse in recent years with the number of fish coming in from all over the world," said Ben Hartig, a commercial fisherman from Hobe Sound, Fla., and chairman of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council that helps manage fisheries off the coasts of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. The conservation group Oceana reported last year that 33 percent of the more than 1,200 seafood samples it purchased and tested nationwide were mislabeled under Food and Drug Administration guidelines. Only seven of the 120 samples of fish purported to be red snapper really were red snapper based on DNA testing.
"We like to say it hurts the ocean, can impact your health and hurt consumers as well as honest fishermen," said Beth Lowell, who works for the conservation group.
She said if people see a lot of red snapper being sold, they get the false impression there's plenty, even though stocks are rebuilding in the Gulf of Mexico. Customers may end up buying mislabeled high mercury fish when they think they are purchasing something else with lower levels. They may also be paying too much, thinking they are getting more expensive, fresh local fish rather than cheaper, imported fish, she said.
The group's study involved only fresh and frozen seafood. Spokesman Dustin Cranor said the group was not aware of any studies examining mislabeling of canned seafood.
"It's a huge issue that people are selling fish as something that it's not," said Chris Conklin, who has a seafood store and several grouper fishing boats he operates out of Murrells Inlet, S.C.
"I know a place where they pay $2 or $3 a pound, thaw it out and sell it for $18 and call it local grouper," he said. As for people selling shrimp out of the back of trucks as local: "With the terrible shrimp season we had last year, there is no local shrimp left."
It hard for most people to tell if they are getting local shrimp, said Frank Blum, executive director of the South Carolina Seafood Alliance, an industry trade group.
"When you go into a restaurant," Blum said, "you can be fooled if you don't know the biology and how to recognize the different species.

Breaking News
UK flight chaos may drag on
- From: AAP
- December 08, 2013
AIRLINE passengers in the UK may face further delays after a major air traffic control glitch caused huge disruptions at airports across the country.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled or delayed on Saturday after problems with a telephone system at the National Air Traffic Service (Nats) centre in Swanwick, Hampshire.
Thousands of people endured hours of frustration as flights were affected across the country, including the major airports of Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick.
The problem was resolved late in the day, Nats said, and while the disruption is likely to have a knock-on effect on Sunday, the three main London airports predicted a largely trouble-free day.
"There are no planned flight schedule changes for Sunday," a spokesman for London Heathrow said.
"We still advise passengers to check with airlines prior to travelling though."
Gatwick said that operations had returned to normal and it was "not anticipating significant disruptions," while Stansted forecast a normal flight schedule but advised passengers to check the status of flights with airlines.
The problem occurred when the 23 controllers on a night shift at Swanwick handed over to the 125 controllers on the day shift.
Nats' night-time operating system, which combines sectors of airspace for when it is less busy, did not properly switch over to the daytime system, causing a communication problem with the centre's internal telephones. They stressed that safety was not at risk at any time.
Heathrow was the worst affected, with 228 cancellations - 112 in arrivals, and 116 departures, with most being short-haul flights. A spokesman for the airport said the cancellations represented 15 per cent of their usual daily total of 1,300 flights going in and out of the airport.
Frustrated passengers were left in long queues to re-book flights, while others reported having to wait for hours to speak to airline representatives.
The glitch affected flights across Europe, with 1,300 flights, nearly eight per cent of all traffic in Europe, "severely delayed", according to Eurocontrol, the European organisation for air navigation safety.

Hosted by Debby Boone
Should sorbet be served as a palate cleanser? Should the bridal bouquet be a crescent or a cascade? When should the invitations be sent? These are just a few of the hurdles you and your affianced will have to vault if you are considering a conventional wedding. And Deb wants to help. This 60-minute tour tracks much of the same nuptial territory as the Ross video with more emphasis on such subjects as choosing the appropriate duds (daytime, evening, formal, ultraformal, etc.) and selecting the right diamond (cut is more important than carat).
Viewers are encouraged to start planning early, compare prices for services and make detailed arrangements in writing with caterers, florists, musicians and photographers. Boone is a gracious guide and far more nimble with the script than some of the experts she calls upon, who seem tethered to the TelePrompTer. A useful companion booklet lists when to do what and is loaded with such pointers as how to word a newspaper announcement and what photo opportunities the hired lensman should not miss. Then there are plenty of reminders for the flustered bride-to-be who may get so caught up in the frenzy of the glorious day that she forgets, say, the names of her attendants.

Thank you so much, This was great.Altered it a bit by adding a small tin of coconut cream.And forgot to add the thyme. Cooking the curry gave it a nutty taste. It's LOVELY. Read another recipe in here and I am going to try it with chicken, putting dumplings on the top. He-he left it in the fridge, for the men of the house,Woke up in the morning, It's all gone!!!! Now all I have to do is tell them it was GOAT!!!!
Wow, excellent. My two oldest kids (8 and 6) couldn't eat it fast enough. The only trouble is finding goat, but luckily I have a halal butcher not too far from me.

This is a free motion embroidery. I could not find a machine design I like. Tried to make both flowers as symmetrical as possible
They are so pretty! Did you embroider it on the pocket and the pants fabric together, so the pocket won't open, or did you remove the pocket to do the stitching? Boy Scout patches often go over pockets and fabric underneath, sewing the pockets shut. It seemed odd to me. So I wonder how you did yours, and whether you are happy with that method.
Thank you, Mary! Since I made those pants myself, I plan ahead. I made embroidery even before I cut pockets out of fabric - I just countered pockets pattern with the piece of dry old soap with all seam allowances, hooped, embroidered, then cut them out and sew into the seam, so pockets are fully functional.
So pretty!

Thought for the day: I hear so many of you complaining or commenting about how dark it's getting in this world, and rightfully so, or even how much Satan is attacking you, how life is the pits, things are getting bad, etc. We all know that God uses trials to draw us closer to Him, and to loosen our grip on this world. Therefore, is it possible that these trials are meant to get our attention because perhaps we don't pray enough? And I'm not talking about quantity. I'm talking about quality. I've seen people do in 15 minutes of prayer what takes me six hours to do, and some can pray for days and never get a breakthrough.
So why is that? I again go back to the idea of quality. When talking with God, are you offering Him popcorn prayer or a great big 5lb Porterhouse with a mountain of potatoes? Or to use the analogy of chocolate, are you offering Him milkduds or Sambirano? I think if we were to be honest, most of us offer Him milkdud prayers at best. I'm not saying that praying better will make the trials go away. They might, but more likely than not they will become easier, even to the point of either being welcome, or of such little concern that they are a side thought.
In other words, the greater the quality, the lighter the load. How do I know this? Just look at Paul and all that he and others, like Silas and Barnabas who traveled with him, as well as the disciples, went through and how they handled it. It's clear from scripture that they had great quality in their prayer. How do we know this? They told us in their own words.
James 1:2 - "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds"
I think if you read the message here, it's two fold. One, if you're suffering trials for your faith, such as some of you are, with Satan going after you and your family with an endless carpet bombing campaign, then be of great joy because it means you are rightly serving God. And I'm not thinking of the times when you suffer because of your sins. It's pretty clear and easy to know when your trials are because you sinned, and when it's because you're serving God. So when you honestly serve God and you suffer trials, then count it all joy. But now at the same time I think the other side of this message speaks of also being able to dance in the flames, much as Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah did in the fire Nebuchadnezzar built, when you go through your own fiery trials.
That then brings me back to my original point. We do in fact need quantity in our prayers, as much praying brings about a good relationship with God and gives us strength for the trials. However, the definition of "much" is very closely tied to the quality of any prayer you lift up to God. So how does one pray in order to get the best quality in their prayers? My suggestion? Pray the Lord's Prayer. I'm not ...(read more)

Jackie Kane calls it the rescue of her lifetime and one crazy adventure.
Several weeks ago, Kane came across a stray dog and, a day later, helped the mama dog track down her puppies in an abandoned house. Now, Kane and her friends are rallying around the canine and her litter of seven puppies to find each a forever home.
Kane said she was driving home one evening when she spotted a dog that was emaciated and had obviously been nursing. Dressed in heels and her work clothes, Kane grabbed some crackers from her car and attempted to coerce the dog to approach her. The dog walked up to Kane, took the crackers and let Kane pick her up. Kane placed her in her back seat and headed to the vet.
Covered in fleas and ticks but heart worm negative, the vet told Kane the dog, which she named Reyna, was still lactating. Kane decided she needed to try to find the puppies and she did so with Reyna and the help of her friends Lisa Sommers and Amy Luarca.
They went back to where Reyna was first found. Reyna led them into woods thick with vines and thorns.
After 30 minutes, Kane was getting discouraged. Then Reyna focused in one direction and Kane followed behind. They approached a very old house, and that's when Reyna's tail started to wag very hard. Kane heard puppies crying.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, this is it. This is it,'" Kane said.
Kane described the house as a rundown, filthy shack. After Reyna fed them, the three women carefully picked up the puppies one by one and loaded them into Kane's vehicle. Reyna seemed quite pleased with the results of their endeavor, Kane said.
"You could tell she was the happiest dog in the world," Kane said. "And for that dog to trust us, to have that kind of bond with us is beyond words."
Once the story got out about Reyna and the quest for her puppies, people in the Aiken community wanted to help. Individuals donated funds to cover vet bills and food. An anonymous person made a generous donation for the puppies and Reyna to stay with Melissa Hartley, owner of Sindar Kennel and professional canine behavioral consultant. Hartley is working with them all on good behavior.
Reyna's litter consists of one boy and six girls. The boy, Tank, has already been spoken for but the rest, including Reyna, are unclaimed.
But Kane said she's going to be picky, as she wants to make sure these dogs land great homes. Kane is really hoping to find Reyna that special person who will "treat her like a queen."
Over the last few weeks, Reyna has put on weight and her puppies are playful, little fluff balls of energy.
"It's really been an amazing journey," Kane said. "Just to see how far the puppies have come along and Reyna, too, it's just one of the best feelings ever."
The puppies will be ready for adoption on Sunday, and there is a fee of $50 that covers a SPCA low cost spay and neuter certificate, the puppies' first shots, deworming and their three weeks of behavioral training. An application can be obtained by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amy Banton is the County reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the publication since May 2010.

Connections over competence
Re: "DRPA chair answers critics," Tuesday:
The chairman of the Delaware River Port Authority, John Estey, is described as "a prominent Philadelphia lawyer who used to be [Gov.] Rendell's chief of staff." In the article in which Estey purports to answer critics of the agency, he contradicts himself by stating there "has been too much political influence" at the patronage-rich DRPA. Estey then trots out the tried-and-true explanation of why these patronage salaries are so high, stating that the salaries are necessary to attract and keep qualified executives.

Igor Vrablic, a star on Canada's 1986 World Cup team, was one of two men arrested in Waterloo, Ont., last week in connection with a drug raid that netted 8.5 kilos of marijuana, 3,000 ecstasy pills and drug paraphernalia, as well as $11,000 in Canadian money and another $6,000 in U.S. currency.
The Slovakian-born Vrablic scored in Canada's 2-1 victory over Honduras that clinched a berth in the 1986 World Cup finals -- Canada's only appearance in the finals -- and started in two of the games in Mexico.
Vrablic's international career abruptly ended shortly after the World Cup when he and three other Canadian players were accused of taking bribes to throw a match at the Merlion Cup in Singapore.
He played in the NASL with the Golden Bay Earthquakes in 1984 and had stints with clubs in Belgium and Greece.

Summer tyre wins all-season test
The results table for the 2016 Auto Bild all-season tyre test saw last year's winner and runner-up – the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons and Michelin CrossClimate – swap places. This occurrence means that this year's size 205/55 R16 all-season tyre test was in fact won by a summer tyre, as Michelin considers its CrossClimate a summer fitment designed and legally approved for year-round use. Call it what you like, at any rate the Auto Bild team deemed the Michelin CrossClimate the pick of the ten-tyre bunch, and awarded it the test's only 'exemplary' rating.

TestTown, a concept devised and supported by the Carnegie UK Trust, encourages new entrepreneurs to create innovative new businesses to help bring energy back to flagging town centres and city districts. TestTown provides participants with bespoke business training, development funding and a low-risk, free trading environment from which to test out an idea.
TestTown 2013 was a nationwide competition which culminated in a pop-up retail festival in Dunfermline, Scotland.
TestTown 2014 worked in partnership with a range of towns to run a series of local TestTown events followed by a Grand Final in Cambridge.
TestTown 2015 launched in July with a different slant looking to support start-ups in ways which were appropriate and effective to the regeneration of their own place/community. Between July and December 2015, the TestTown competition has seen 10 towns from across the UK host an enterprise challenge in town centre spaces, with each challenge tailored to local economic needs. Challenges have included a pop-up youth enterprise market in Bridgend, Wales, green enterprise training and mentoring in Walthamstow, London and a master crafts training session for unemployed 18-30 year olds in Enniscorthy, Ireland.

Tbilisi District
December 18th 2011
Published: January 11th 2012
For those of you who don't know (and that group included me until last Saturday morning) Richie Dixon was the coach of the Georgian National Rugby team, until the end of the last world cup. Apparently Georgia has a very good side. That is, in its entirety, my knowledge of the game of rugby. But I'll start at the beginning.
<span> I'm kind of hoping to get out of school early on Friday but it doesn't happen. The reason I want to get out early is cos I know that, if I do, I'll be able to hitch to Tbilisi with Ally or Ara and it will save me 15 lari but they both get out hours before me so I'm on my own. I wait for ages with Eka and Maia outside the school, hoping for a cab or a marshrutka to show up. Eventually Maia asks some young people in a car outside the school where they're going and they're driving at least as far as the main road so I jump in with them. They turn out to be a couple of Georgian models who are driving round the schools in the area looking for potential new 'recruits'. I can't wait to tell the boys about it 'cos I know how jealous they're going to be. They drop me at the next school along and I jump on the first marshrutka that goes past, which turns out to be the slowest vehicle known to mankind. I practically kill myself getting to the bus station for 2pm only to be told there isn't a marshrutka until 3pm so I have to tell the guys I'm going to be even later than I thought. I'm sat up front with the driver, as usual, and we make good time into Tbilisi. The boys tell me to head to Freedom Square so I attempt to get a cab. Easier said than done. I manage to find the only taxi driver in the world who can't speak and there ensues a kind of pantomime. I'm not sure if he's got a really sore throat or if there's something seriously wrong with him but all he can do is make a strange kind of gargling noise. Plus my usual trick of miming a statue of Saint Giorgi doesn't work. After about five minutes I finally manage to make him understand where I want to go and I ask him how much. He asks how much I want to pay and I say four lari. At this he basically says, through mime, 'I'm not going to take you for four lari but my friend's car is much shitter than mine so maybe he will.' So we go to talk to the taxi driver in front, but obviously the first taxi driver can't tell the second one where I want to go because he can't talk, and so the whole pantomime starts again.
When I finally get to Freedom Square Ally and Ara are waiting for me with a Georgian guy called Luka who Ara met on Couch Surfing. The first thing Luka asks is if I know what the situation is. Ally admits he's told me nothing about it. Forgive me for being a little suspicious. We jump in another cab and, stopping to buy food and vodka on the way, drive out of the city for about 20 minutes. To a shack. That's right; we're sleeping in a shack. Actually, I get the impression, from what I can see in the dark, that it would be really nice in summer. It's basically one wooden room with a bed in it and some other items of furniture, a few books etc. We manage to unearth an old woodstove and an axe and Luka and the boys set about chopping up old furniture while I play the girl card and sit there drinking vodka. And that's our evening basically. The four of us sit in the shack, chatting, drinking vodka and eating hot dogs we've heated on the stove. The fire and the vodka keep us warm and, all in all, it's a pretty good night.
We walk into town the following morning with vague plans to find somewhere to shower. On the way in we pass the Rugby Federation building, at which point Ally remembers that the Georgian rugby coach is Scottish, and decides to go see if he's around. He talks to a guy on the door and finds out that Richie Dixon is actually staying at the Marriott in town so we carry on into Tbilisi. I grab a coffee with the guys and then ditch them in favour of going to the hostel where other Ali is staying to take a shower. Ali's arranged to meet Judy, one of the girls from our orientation group who I haven't seen since, to take her to get a new tattoo done so I decide to go with them and agree to meet up with the others later. Ali and I actually get bored waiting with Judy so we go and grab some lunch and then I go to meet up with the boys and Pricilla at the National Museum. By this point I still haven't heard from the woman who suggested I house sit for her so I've kind of given up on the idea. Ally, on the other hand, hasn't given up on the idea of meeting Richie Dixon, so we leave Ara and Pricilla and head over to the Marriott on Rustaveli where the receptionist, with absolutely no regards for his privacy, informs us that Mr Dixon's staying at the branch on Freedom Square. Ally marches straight up to the reception desk and asks to see Richie Dixon. They call his room but there's no answer so they suggest he may be in the bar. Which is exactly where we find him. He's just finishing up a meeting so he tells us to take a seat and shortly after comes to join us for a beer. He turns out to be a really nice guy and we chat for an hour or so about life in Georgia and Scotland and, to an extent, about rugby. Before he leaves he goes up to his room and brings us some Tunnock's Caramel Wafers he brought over from Scotland. I've rarely seen Ally so happy! Mr Dixon has to go to another meeting so we check in with Ara and head over to meet him on Rustaveli where he's waiting with a bunch of other TLGers who are all out to celebrate the birthday of an Australian woman from our group. We go to a Peruvian restaurant and we have a pretty good night, but Ally and I duck out early and head back to the shack. Ara stumbles in with some random guy he's met at about 6am, just in time to stoke up the fire for us.
We get the bus into town the next morning and I decide I've had quite enough of the boys and the shack for one weekend so I go to meet other Ali at the hostel. I also decide I can't face the marshrutka ride home so I text Eka and ask if it's ok if I go home on Monday. I know this is kind of cheeky, but it's my last week and for the previous three weeks the school has offered me Monday off anyway so I try not to feel too bad about it. Ditching the boys actually has a practical purpose – there are things I need to do in Tbilisi and I never get anything done when I'm with them, I shower at the hostel and Ali and I spend the day shopping. It's actually great cos I'm desperate for new trainers and I get almost all my Christmas shopping done for my host family too. We walk for miles and we're pretty knackered by the end of it so I go shopping for ingredients. We have a really nice night in the end. It's the first time I've cooked in months so I love it. Judy comes over and weeate dinner and then watch a movie with wine and popcorn. Ok, so it's not the most Georgian night in the world but it's nice for a change.

Project Description
Hi Friend!
I am going to test a very simple business throw a clean selling website. I am going to start sell a package here in Sweden for kick-starting your personal success development. I am a big fan of the 4 hour work week and this is a business according to the muse concept.
Before i will start to produce this package i would like to test if the product sells. The test site will present the product like they are in stock and reedy to be shipped. All the steps in the check out will be measured. I will use google adwords to buy different kinds of long tail key word for this niche market. The traffic will be carefully measured with Analytics goals so I after some time can decide to produce the product, throw it away or tweak it.
The package will include a guide for personal development, a special notebook, a special pencil and some cards to write personal goals on.
Your job will be to design this marketing page, some page in the background like about, contact to make the site look credible. The best for me would be to use Wordpress as framework because i know it and always have worked with it! The page will only sell this product and.
It will be very easy to work with me because I know allot about web development and internet testing. I am freelancing this because i am no good at webdesign and i simply do not have time!
If we can work successfully now, there will be more interesting projects for you in the future!
Best Regards
Hampus Bergqvist

My two daughters (9 and 14)skateboard. Since the skate community is mostly male it was great to have them interact with and learn with and from other girls. There is now a local chapter of GRO in our community and my daughters look forward to their monthly sessions. It has really helped draw more females into the skate community.
