Best Places to Find Antiques in Abilene – Shay's Top 6 [UPDATED]
I'm not knowledgeable about antiques all that much but I've been noticing that it is BIG business and there is lots of money to be made and beautiful artifacts to be had. I had an aunt and uncle that were antique seekers and they had a huge selection of glass items. You would walk into their living room and that's all you saw. Glass bowls, cups, candy dishes, plates you name it they had it. They've passed on now and I'm not sure what became of their collection but they had some beautiful stuff. Some folks shop more for the "character" of older items and some shop for the value. I'm one of those that shops for character. Here in Abilene there have been quite a few stores/dealers pop up over the last few years that deal with antiques. I found a few that I like and wanted to share but please let us know some of your favorites as well.
Fabulous Finds
Fabulous Finds is kind of a "one stop shop" for antiques and more. They do estate sales, appraisals, collectibles and antiques. The company is owned by Terry Stubbs and Tracy Boss. They have a store located on Grape street but they also come to homes for estate sales. You can find all kinds of fun stuff at these events. I like to check out the jewelry especially. However, you can find antique furniture, glassware, dishes, dolls, old books and baseball cards and such. Plus, it's fun to go into some of the "older" Abilene homes and check them out. Located at 715 Grape Street, Abilene, TX you will find some great, unique items to fill your home.
Antique and Almost
Antique and Almost also does estate sales, consignments and appraisals. The business is owned by B J Naranjo-Smith, ISA,CAPP and was opened in 1988. ISA stands for International Society of Appraisers and CAPP is Certified Appraiser of Personal Property, so she very knowledgeable about antiques and their value. If you are looking to purchase antiques this is THE place to find those beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces to cherish. If you are looking to have an estate sale, I would suggest asking this lady for help because you might just be selling a very valuable piece of furniture or glassware for $5.00 when you could be getting thousands. Antique and Almost is located at 141 Clyde St. Ste A, Abilene, TX 79605.
Rust and Roses
Now this place has some beautiful large furniture pieces. Located at 1549 S. 1st, Abilene,TX. I am personally looking for a dresser and I can tell you I will be headed their direction to look for one. It's been a while since I stopped in and their inventory is always great. Some of the pieces are of course, antiques but their are also pieces that you could put your own creative touch on as well. If you are looking for clocks, ceramics, china or glassware, chandeliers and even some imported goods make sure to stop by Rust and Roses. Seeing some of these items makes me wish I had had the sense to hang on to some of my grandmothers things that I didn't see the need for at the time.
The Antique Station
The Antique Station was voted Abilene Reporter News People's Choice Award winner for "Best Antique Store in Abilene in 2011" and they are jam packed with wonderful antiques. They are located in North Abilene just across from Frontier Texas on N.3rd: 703 N. 3rd St., Abilene, TX 79601 to be exact.
The store is co-owned by 7 antique lovers and their facility has collections from 5 dealers as well as their own collection of goods. One of the owners has even been featured on the Antique Roadshow! They scour estate sales and make trips across the US to bring you some of the most unique items out there. They have classic movie posters, a great selection of dishes, vintage jewelry, antique furniture and more. Folks come to the Antique Station whenever they are in town just to see what treasures they might find. You should do the same.
The Last Remains
"The Last Remains" owned by Christine Brockman and James Brooks. They like doing things flea market style so you will find them traveling about or stop by there new location opening December 29th at 860 Hickory here in Abilene. They have some great items that you might not even know you are looking for. My boyfriend was looking for an old time pressure cooker; guess where I found 1 of 3...The Last Remains!! Christine loves to go antiquing and always has some cool finds. They carry not only antiques but also collectibles, vintage and recycled items as well. It's those recycled items that Christine likes best. Taking something that isn't old enough to fall into the "antique" category but that needs an overhaul; she fixes them up and re-sells them. As the saying goes: everything old is new again!!
Stokes and Company
Located at 1441 S. 1st street in Abilene, Stokes offers some beautiful furniture and decor. I recently went in and it's almost overwhelming the amount of inventory they have. If you are looking for a large accent piece this is the place to go. You could take the piece as is or you could even re-do it to fit your home. They have some jewelry, art pieces, seasonal decor, china, handbags, shoes, tables and chairs and much more. You might need to make a couple of trips to take it all in. That's my excuse for going back multiple times!!

ERICA AUSTIN and SAMANTHA DEFFLER
The Poster / The Artist / The Icons
Dated December 1941, the poster depicts an Uncle Sam figure, and an attractive American Red Cross Nurse whose hands are extended, as if welcoming any donations.
The creator was James Montgomery Flagg, most famous for his "I Want You" poster, originally published during the First World War. One noteworthy cultural accomplishment of Flagg is his catalysis of the transformation of Uncle Sam from a "benign old man in stars and stripes . . . into a compelling leader who meant business."1 The painting depicts Flagg's favorite model, Georgia McDonald, as the Nurse. The physical attractiveness of McDonald and other "Flagg girls" symbolized ideals of beauty that would aid in propaganda . . . Flagg depicted himself as Uncle Sam, as he did in all of his other posters portraying the icon.2
Research / Analysis
Jean Henri Dunant was creator of a movement, originally formed in 1823, which ultimately [became] the International Red Cross. Under the direction of President Abraham Lincoln, the United States joined the organization in 1864. The basis of the American National Red Cross began during the Civil War when the United States Sanitary Commission provided relief [for soldiers].3 Dunant was . . . awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.4
Dunant [had] stated that "the influence of woman is an essential factor in the welfare of humanity and will become more considerable as time proceeds."5 On April 29, 1861, women in New York organized the Women's Central Association of Relief, largely based upon the courage of the hero[ine] of the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale. After the Civil War, renewed attention to the Red Cross was not given until Clara Barton was able to convince the United States to participate.6
Local Connections
The Union County Chapter of the American Red Cross fostered the development of a Bucknell branch of their chapter, later named the "College Unit." In February 1942, Dorothy Dyer, Dean of Women, requested that a branch of the County Chapter be [organized] . . . the students at Bucknell took nursing courses, led blood drives, and helped with [supplying materials and supporting the programs of] Navy trainees stationed on campus.7
According to the meeting minutes in the archives of the Union County Red Cross, there was a Junior Red Cross division of the local chapter. Students from the schools in [the] district enrolled. After the War Fund poster had been publicized for a year, there were only seven schools in the entire county [that] did not have students enrolled in Junior Red Cross programs.8
The Junior Red Cross of the local chapter . . . gathered donations for the War Relief Fund through several activities, including the February 1942 Extravaganza, with both a play and dance.9 … the Extravaganza added a sizable amount . . . donated by the Junior Red Cross to the War Relief Fund, bringing the tally to $305.95, a very high amount raised by children at that time.10

Bur oak is a large, deciduous tree with a very wide, open crown. Usually wider than tall, the tree can exceed 100 ft. in height and width. The massive trunk supports heavy, horizontal limbs and rough, deep-ridged bark. Leaves up to 9 inches long with a central midrib from which branch veins lead into rounded lobes. Lobes separated by deep sinuses reaching, in some cases, to within 1/2 inch of the midrib. Lobes beyond the midpoint of the blade wavy margined and longer and broader than those toward the base. Acorns large, up to 1 1/2 inches broad with 1/4 to more than 1/2 of the acorn enclosed in the cup. Cup with coarse scales and a fringed margin.
The acorns of this species, distinguished by very deep fringed cups, are the largest of all native oaks. The common name (sometimes spelled Burr) describes the cup of the acorn, which slightly resembles the spiny bur of a chestnut. Bur Oak is the northernmost New World oak. In the West, it is a pioneer tree, bordering and invading the prairie grassland. Planted for shade, ornament, and shelter belts. Bur oak extends farther north than any other oak species and becomes shrubby at the northern and eastern limits of its range.

Cosmopolitan MagazineBy Milly Almodovar
Celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor has worked on the most beautiful women in the world, including Nina Garcia, supermodel Arlenis Sosa, and Kerry Washington. Today, he's bringing us his 10 Beauty Commandments-commandments he says you must follow or face the punishment of looking like a hot mess.
1. Thou Shalt Wash Makeup Brushes Regularly
Washing your brushes once a week will prevent you from getting acne or skin infections, reduce facial oils from getting into your compacts, and extend the lives of your brushes. Clean synthetic foundation and concealer brushes with regular face wash, but use shampoo for fluffy powder puffs and shadow brushes. Allow time to air dry.
2. Thou Shalt Check Your Foundation Shade Seasonally
Your skin will usually be the lightest midwinter and the darkest midsummer. During those times of year, update by selecting a shade that disappears into your cheek when applied.
3. Thou Shalt Buy Fresh Mascara Every Three Months
Since mascara touches your eyes, it's important to replace it regularly to prevent bacteria growth. By the time it gets dry or starts to smell, it's way past the point of safe use. For your next mascara, try Falsies Mascara by Maybelline.

4. Thou Shalt Exfoliate "As Needed"
Using salicylic acid or gritty exfoliators on a daily basis can irritate sensitive skin and cause breakouts. Try cleansing your skin with a soft, cotton washcloth, and use exfoliators no more than one to three times per week.
5. Thou Shalt Rotate Your Lip Balms
I'm a lip balm addict, and mixing your lip balms keeps lips hydrated while providing a smooth base for your lipsticks. If you have several different tubes on hand, you'll get the maximum benefit of each product when you rotate regularly.
6. Thou Shalt Keep Hydrated
Two and a half liters of water a day is ideal. By the time you feel thirsty or see chapped lips, your brain and internal organs are already struggling to perform their best.

7. Thou Shalt Try a New Lip Color
If all your lipsticks or glosses look similar, you're missing out on the fun. It's like having several of the same pair of shoes. Mix up your lip color with new Rouge Pur Couture from YSL in 201. It's a bright red that suits just about anyone. Your friends will love your new look.
8. Thou Shalt Learn How to Do a Smoky Eye
Smoky eye is the number one most requested makeup look, and there are smoky eye looks for everyone. You can go lighter for daytime and more dramatic for evening. Here's a quick way to do your own: Line your eyes with a black or coffee colored liner. Use a small brush to soften the line. Blend a deep bronze, caramel, or suede colored shadow all the way around the eyes to create soft definition and make the eyes appear larger.
9. Thou Shalt Remove Your Eye Makeup Completely
To keep your lashes long and healthy, remove makeup thoroughly and gently every night. Also, remember that keeping on any remnants of eye makeup can age you. Use removal wipes or pads to get rid of all traces of makeup.

10. Though Shalt Get Rid of Clutter
Getting rid of old products you haven't used in a while is a great way to simplify your daily routine and an excuse to buy a new makeup bag!

During the holidays I love to experiment with all different kinds of recipes to get that perfect Christmas flavour. I don't just stick to food, I also love making different holiday inspired drinks. Whenever December rolls around I like to have my friends over and pretend I am a gourmet bartender. I love to try all kinds of Christmas flavoured drinks. I know what you're thinking, and yes some work and some don't, but that never stops me from having fun.
This year, I really wanted to make something that utlized chocolate, which is one of my favourite foods. I always see chocolate drinks on menus at restaurants and think they sound amazing! I knew a chocolate drink would be perfect to make for my friends this year when they come over for my annual Christmas party. Vanilla flavoured vodka and a bit of crème de cocoa, paired with white chocolate and candy cane pieces lining the rim, this drink is a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. This cocktail is a great drink to serve at any of your holiday parties, or even just a girls' night in! I know I will be making this all the time, even after the holidays are over just to get that Christmas taste!
Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 1 minuteTotal Time: 6 minutes
Instructions1. On a plate spread the candy cane pieces. On a separate plate pour the melted white chocolate in a small circle.2. Take a martini glass and dip the rim of the glass into the melted chocolate. Turn the glass slowly until the rim is evenly coated. Repeat the same coating through the candy cane pieces for a festive holiday glass.Repeat with second martini glass.3. In a cocktail shaker fill with ice, pour in the vanilla vodka and crème de cocoa. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain into the two prepared martini glasses. Enjoy right away.

Time and change are each the other's measure. A life span may be two millennia for a sequoia tree or a day for a mayfly. But it is still one life. A generation among bacteria can last as little as 10 minutes, and for human beings, 28 years. It would take a well-fed bacterial colony only 14 days to go through as many generations as has humanity. Yet it is only each new generation that we have the chance to evolve, to shake again the genetic dice box and test any resulting mutations against the challenges of life. Ash Wednesday is an inelegant reminder that ours is one life and therefore precious.
Ash Wednesday serves as a lens to see our present from the finish line. Emily Dickinson takes on a similar perspective in her poem "Because I could not stop for Death."
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me.
The speaker of the poem narrates how death took her, in a courtly manner, in a carriage where she, death and immortality rode together.
On Ash Wednesdays, the church offers a space that may be larger than a carriage to contemplate one's present from the finish line. And we do so in the company of fellow believers. We do so under the loving eyes of God, in the presence of a company of redeemed sinners on their Godward journey. Ashes are a symbolic reminder that we confess our sins in earnest repentance and allow ourselves to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit.
Call to God
Why does the church create such a space for this experience and carry on this holy ritual all over the world in which Christians unabashedly adorn their forehead with ashes? Is Ash Wednesday the only special day set apart for repentance?
Repentance is a call to God.: "Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing" (Joel 2:13).
Turning to God is a daily cleansing experience by the Holy Spirit. In the Repentance of Believers, sermon 14, John Wesley says, "By repentance we feel the sin remaining in our hearts, and cleaving to our words and actions: by faith, we receive the power of God in Christ, purifying our hearts, and cleansing our hands." Wesley believes that for our "continuance and growth in grace," repentance and faith are needed for our daily walk.
Call to grace
Being able to see God in one another's face and in one's own face needs daily grace. The interior awareness of seeing God in one another and in one's self comes through tenderly caring for the image of God imprinted in our being. Let us fiercely protect the image of God in us from anything that disfigures that.
Today is an opportune day to fit us with the lens of ashes to see time in the light of eternity, our mortal being in the light of our own ashes and dust, sin in the light of grace. It is time to see once again Jesus following God's call to be bearer of the sins of the world, personal and systemic. It is in this memory, in this call, the story of the church is being built, day by day, memory by memory.
Mending, stitching and cleansing God, mend us daily. Stitch us at the seams that come apart from you. Cleanse us back into the likeness of your image from all that mars our being. We are made to be your signature pieces. Create a new heart and new vision to see your image in each of us today throughout this Lenten season and all the days of our lives. Amen.
Glory E. Dharmaraj, Ph.D., is director of spiritual formation and mission theology for the Women's Division.

Rather than global warming, the catalyst for this ruinous mood: the ex-boyfriend. Mr. X (as he shall henceforth be known) had taken to "creeping," and "blowing up" The Diva's cell phone with an endless barrage of text message and phone calls at all hours.
The Diva arose to some 15 text messages in varying degrees of anger, sorrow and pleading desperation, along with a multitude of voicemail messages of the same emotional tenor, leading to loud, expletive-laden arguments that poisoned an otherwise sunny disposition.
Honestly, I feel bad for the dude. Not because he got dumped — everybody needs a good dumping; it keeps us humble and teaches us not to be reckless with the hearts of others. Rather, I feel sorry for Mr. X because of the way modern technology is taking advantage of his fragile state, allowing him to make mistakes that'll survive long after he's forgotten why he was so wounded in the first place.
Cell phones are evil.
Oh sure, they're convenient with their instant gratification via text message and email, Facebook and Instagrams. But cell phones, in the hands of a heartbroken teenager, are harbingers of humiliation.
Back in my day, I learned the rules of the post-dating the hard way … and without a restraining order. My generation had to use the house phone, and after getting hung up on five or six times, somebody's Daddy was gonna answer the phone and give you an earful.
There was none of this cowering behind cell phones and well-orchestrated text messages quoting Coldplay lyrics. Once an angry Daddy threatened to call YOUR momma, that pretty much killed any avenue of communication.
I even remember writing these things called "letters" — where you'd record thoughts and feelings on pieces of paper and mail them to some little heartbreaker to read at a later date.
Fortunately, in the time it took to find her address, get an envelope, lick a stamp and walk out to the curb, I realized just how pathetic I sounded and found the good sense to keep such blubberings to myself.
Thanks to cell phones, kids today have no such saving grace. Feel it. Type it. Send it. Regret it. Stupidity at the speed of thought, and there ain't no gettin' that sucker back.
And if you've got eyes on any of her/his friends for a little revenge hook-up, forget that, because your dopey musings will be forwarded to every Facebook friend you shared — and some you didn't.
And if it's really bad, embarrassing stuff, she might even go so far as to print it out, lock it away in a special place to read and laugh at years from now.
Granted, none of this is nearly as embarrassing as, say, driving by your ex-girlfriend's house, seeing her new boyfriend's car in the driveway, beating on the door, demanding to be let in, trying to beat up the new boyfriend, being thrown out by an annoyed daddy and left screaming insults from the curb.
Or so I've heard.
If I could offer Mr. X a bit of advice from someone who's been there/regretted that: just think. This pain will pass, girlfriends come and go, but dignity in the eyes of others is hard to restore, especially when they've got a file labeled "Stupid Stuff You Said."
This is one natural disaster that can be avoided.

Part of the NCAA's core mission is to provide student-athletes with a competitive environment that is safe and ensures fair play. While each school is responsible for the welfare of its student-athletes, the NCAA provides leadership by establishing safety guidelines, playing rules, equipment standards, drug testing procedures and research into the cause of injuries to assist decision making.
The Committee on Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports serves to provide expertise and leadership to the NCAA in order to provide a healthy and safe environment for student-athletes through research, education, collaboration and policy development. The committee is made up of 20 members who serve four-year terms, each of which comes from medical, administrative, legal, coaching or student-athlete backgrounds. View the current roster here.
The benefits of exercise play an important role in promoting daily well-being and the prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and hypertension. So college athletes are often seen as some of the healthiest members of society. Yet participation in competitive sports brings with it unavoidable risks of injury. The NCAA takes appropriate steps to modify safety guidelines, playing rules and standards to minimize those risks and provide student athletes with the best opportunity to enjoy a healthy career. The injury surveillance program collects, analyzes, interprets and disseminates data on injuries in each sport, providing a wealth of information through which we can provide athletes with a safe competitive environment.

Roundtable: Assessing the rookies
Story Highlights
Anthony Davis may end up as best player, but he's no lock for Rookie of the Year
Despite his upside, Andre Drummond is likely to struggle with transition to NBA
Andrew Nicholson, Perry Jones are a few players teams could regret passing on
SI.com NBA writers Paul Forrester, Lee Jenkins, Chris Mannix and Ian Thomsen examine the rookie crop in advance of the 2012-13 season.
Ian Thomsen: Fact. Davis is the favorite because he has so much going for him. He'll be playing in New Orleans for Monty Williams, a well-organized coach who will funnel the defense toward Davis and give him opportunities to defend the rim. The team will show enormous improvement from its last-place 21-45 record of last year while playing to Davis' strengths defensively and in transition. Not only is he the most talented rookie in the class, but he also received a huge advantage by spending the summer with the Olympic team and learning how the world's best players focus and improve each day. He may not be the leading scorer of his class, but altogether Davis will be the most valuable rookie in the league.
Lee Jenkins: Fiction. It's much harder for big men to assert themselves early than guards. Davis is with a young team, in a brutal conference, and he spent only one year in college. I'll go with Portland point guard Damian Lillard because he is older, he'll have the ball in his hands and he's the rare rookie with a lot of experience running the pick-and-roll. The Blazers will bounce back this season and Lillard stands to receive much of the credit.
Chris Mannix: Fiction. Ultimately, Davis will be the class of the '12 draft. His defensive instincts remind me of Ben Wallace's and his offensive game will polish in time. But the ROY award often goes to the player who puts up big numbers, and I think there will be rookies who have better statistical seasons than Davis. Sacramento's Thomas Robinson has an NBA-ready body and should stuff the stat sheet on a mediocre Kings team. Charlotte's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will get plenty of playing time with the Bobcats. Lillard scored in college, scored in the summer league and, with the starting guard job in hand, will likely score for a Blazers team desperately in need of offensive firepower. Will they ultimately be better players? No. But, hey, remember when Emeka Okafor beat out Dwight Howard for the award in '04-05?
Paul Forrester: Fact. But the voting might be closer than expected. Davis should make an immediate impact on the Hornets' defense and record. But the Rookie of the Year award often is swayed by stats, and while Davis could be a better offensive presence than many predict as a rookie, players such as Golden State's Harrison Barnes and Cleveland's Dion Waiters will have more of a green light to score. And 20 points stand out a lot more in a game than 12 rebounds, three blocks and 10 points. Still, if a healthy Eric Gordon can help Davis engineer a 15-game or so improvement for the Hornets, that will be hard to ignore.
Thomsen: Robinson is entering a dysfunctional situation in Sacramento, a franchise that has not established any kind of role model for previous high picks like DeMarcus Cousins or Tyreke Evans. At the same time, however, those two put up decent numbers as rookies -- as did Isaiah Thomas last year -- and so Robinson may be able to do the same for the short term.
The rookie facing the greatest leap is Andre Drummond, the No. 9 pick by the Pistons, because he was drafted based on his potential. Drummond is excellent athletically, but he's going to have to work hard this year to channel that athleticism and learn the skills required of an NBA big man. Plus, with no understanding for the kind of structured environment that coach Lawrence Frank is working hard to create, Drummond may look lost for much of this year. It will be a huge mistake to declare him a bust after a month or two, because the real goal for him will be to show progress and discipline. This is going to be like a seven-month boot camp for him.
Jenkins: Kidd-Gilchrist, because the Bobcats still lack any offensive punch, and he won't be able to provide it. He is going to be a standout defensive player, and a valuable complementary part, but he isn't the kind of transformative scorer who can single-handedly turn an also-ran into a competitor. Kidd-Gilchrist lost two games in college. He will get a ton of experience with failure this season.
Mannix: Toronto's Terrence Ross could replace DeMar DeRozan next season, but this year he is stuck behind him. Ross was a surprise pick at No. 8 and didn't distinguish himself in summer league, particularly behind the three-point line. With DeRozan and Landry Fields penciled in as the starters on the wing and the established Linas Kleiza coming off the bench, Ross will have to battle just to get consistent minutes.
Forrester: Drummond. Blessed with a tantalizing basketball body, the Pistons' first-round pick seemed bedeviled in his one season at Connecticut by a questionable basketball motor. That switch doesn't often magically flip in the NBA. He's only 19, so there is time for him to find the gear that would make his modest performance in college (10 points per game, 7.6 rebounds, 29.5 percent free-throw shooting) an outlier. Big men, though, can't coast most nights; there is too much pushing and shoving to do, too much effort needed to protect the rim and provide some semblance of offense. Will Drummond learn from the strides fellow Pistons big man Greg Monroe has made? I have my doubts.

Sound Solution with Ergonomics
By STD Philly 69
from Philadelphia, PA
About Me Movie Enthusiast, Practical, Technically Challenged, Tech Savvy
The problem with most HDTVs LCD,LED or Plasma is the sound quality from the speakers. When a TV Show or Movie is shown...you can hardly hear the words spoken by the actors or the commentary given by a sports or news caster. Then the commercials are louder then the program you are watching and the volume has to be turned down. Being a satisfied Bose Home theater system owner, I wanted the Bose quality without really blowing the Box in a bedroom. After purchasing this system, hooking it up to the 42" HDTV in the bedroom, I was impressed...(still will get another Bose Home Theater Sound Bar for the other HDTV)a Sound Bar Solution for a small room that is loud enough for a large room with ease and clarity. It was easy to hook up, lightweight, and fits nicely under a 50" or smaller HDTV. The advantage is that you can use both the TV Speakers and this Bose System at the same time to make a great sound enhancement. Yes, it costs more. If you want quality sound without the hassle...this Bose system is worth it! Highly Recommend Bose for HDTV Sound Enhancement.
Service and delivery comments:
The P.C. Richards Store (NE Philadelphia, PA) Sales Representative - Sean , was very prompt in getting this Bose System to me. The store didn't have it in stock, yet he was able to get it within a day. Being a Mass Transit user, they even made sure it was packaged to conceal and carry the product (being lightweight) back home.Never have a complaint with this P.C. Richards Location. They do look out for the customer like the old neighborhood appliance stores of past.

Clydesdale's were a breed of farm horses in Clydesdale, Scotland. Standing six-feet high, the draught horses were used for plowing the fields, commercial delivery in the city and pulling field artillery through the trenches of World War I. After the demise of prohibition, Budweiser bread their own Clydesdales to pull their beer wagons through the busy main streets of the big cities to the side streets of once hidden speakeasies.
Ironically, last week the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to prevent Anheuser-Bush from purchasing Groupa Modelo, the makers of Corona. If the deal is allowed to move forward it could "substantially lessen competition." Anheuser Bush will control 46 percent of all the beer sold in the United States and the Price of beer will increase dramatically; living up to its name as "the King of Beers." Miller-Coors, is the second-largest beer company in the U.S. and accounts for about 26 percent of sales.
Due to gasoline rationing during World War II, Clydesdales were also used to pull milk wagons. Every Saturday morning, Tim the milkman delivered eggs, butter, cheese and bottles of milk, topped off with actual cream you could see through the bottle, from the Sheffield Dairy to our front door. He was always two hours later than usual on Saturday because that's the only day the kids in the neighborhood were allowed to pet and feed the horses.
Bonnie loved the attention. She was a huge well-mannered Clydesdale. Tim never had to "drop anchor" preventing her from moving while making his deliveries. She had large loving, curious, gentle and trusting eyes. She was always well groomed from her mane to her over-sized feet. Everyone loved her.
During the days of sugar rationing, carrots were the treat of the day. But somehow, my father always managed to find two small squares (lumps) of sugar for me to sneak between Bonnie's lips. Probably my imagination, but it seemed she always licked my hand in appreciation.
One Saturday morning, I almost missed feeding Bonnie. After just having surgery on my foot, I was in an ankle cast. By the time I got out the front door, the milkman was half way up the block. Seeing my disappointment, dad quickly grabbed some sugar, lifted me on his shoulders and we hurried to the milk wagon. After seeing my ankle, Tim lifted me on to the back of Bonnie. She nodded her head a few times, letting me know I was someone special. What a feeling. What an experience. What wonderful memories of Bonnie and Clydesdales.

What a shame. It's too bad Griffin had to finally get the iTrip perfect right as the 4G iPod became obsolete. Back to the drawing board, it seems.
Posted by Joshdude in Long Beach, CA on November 18, 2005 at 1:03 AM (PDT)
looks like its just for the holidays and soon we'll see something much better from griffin - i think i'll wait...
Posted by LinkTree in IL on November 18, 2005 at 3:30 AM (PDT)
My 3G Ipod died a slow death, so I was able to get a new 5G. I was very disappointed to find out that I would not be able use my Itrip that plugs into the top. I was happy with its performance, and the fact that it snapped right onto the ipod.
So, I shelled out the 50 bucks and bought this bottom mounting version.
I get the best reception when I place it under the passenger side visor. Maybe its the fact that the antenna wire is on the back, it when it touches the top of the car, it helps to increase the signal strength. (Does anyone know how to pry this out and increase the strength? I'm not quite sure what the review meant.)
BUT, the main problem I have with this the annoying buzzing sound it produces. Not static, but buzzing. Its similar to a non-grounded turntable.
Its not so bad when you are listening to music, but most of my listening is talk radio and podcasts.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried it with my friends 4G ipod, and still get the buzzing, and also on several different car radios and home stereos.
I'm thinking it might be defective.
Posted by bellbm on November 18, 2005 at 5:51 PM (PDT)
I bought this over the weekend from a major national electronics retailer. The first one I bought didn't work at all out of the box. The replacement did, or then again, it didn't. I didn't get anything on my radio. I have a 2004 Nissan Quest minivan and a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T. I tuned in to a station that was in between two stations with static as well, just as it said in the manual. I didn't get anything except for a short while when I could get a faint signal. This was on both vehicles. The only way I could get the faint signal was if I held my iPod by extending my arm to the back of both vehicles where closer to the antenna. I also tried it in my rental, a 2005 Chrysler Sebring and still no signal.
I think they did rush to put this product out for the holidays and under-engineered it. Don't buy it. It's not even worth half the price! Buy a cassette adapter or listen to CDs.

Posted by BlueSIm on December 11, 2005 at 2:37 PM (PDT)
what a piece of junk this is....it should be called the iSuck! i bought two because i thought the 1st one was defective. i just returned the other one today. i couldn't get much output at all from this thing, unless i jacked the volume all the way up, only then to get FM static and lose most of the ipod signal to nearby stations that literally tore my ears off. when it did work, it was almost as good as AM radio. all of this occured when i was far far away from any cities btw...
Posted by ryankmusic on December 12, 2005 at 7:58 PM (PDT)
I agree that this is much worse than the previous itrip I had for my old ipod. There is a constant buzz even on the emptiest radio stations furthest from any "used" station in my small town. The buzz remains even when you pause the ipod, something that never happened with the old itrip. The buzz noticeably varies if you shift the position of the ipod even slightly, again something that never happened with my old ipod. This thing is feeble. Radio intermittently bursts into the signal without warning, even when the station is otherwise blank. You have to turn the volume on the car stereo way up to get it adequate. This itrip is extremely light and fragile feeling, and has a tendency to come loose off the ipod's dock (it does not grip it as securely as the cable does, it has no little spring clamps), especially when you are trying to turn that cursed dial on the side, something I assure you that you will be doing often, hunting in vain for good reception. I know the old itrip was not perfect but it would do for my car listening, my car like most does not have a cassette deck so I can't go that route. But this itrip is basically unusable! A complete waste of money and time. I intend to fight griffin (I bought direct from them) to get my money back with no re-stocking fee. What a huge disappointment. Any know of a better product for the ipod 5g? I'm desperate to be able to listen to my ipod in the car!
Posted by nmorgan on December 17, 2005 at 5:19 PM (PDT)
Chalk up another disappointment.
First, I had pre-ordered this iTrip with dock connector and the iTrip Nano. Then, I find the iTrip with dock connector at my local Best Buy.
I bought one and I agree, it does suck. Very poor transmission power (I agree that it sounds almost like AM radio at times). I had to put it in INTL mode so I could get a decent station lower on the dial. I live between Baltimore, MD and Washington, D.C. and it's almost impossible to find a good station to use.
I am returning my iTrip and I have cancelled my pre-order for the iTrip Nano. I guess I'll end up with a cassette adapter. And to think... the iTrip was one of the reasons I actually bought an iPod. I like the idea of no wires and the fact that it pulled it's power from the iPod.
Posted by Bob Reck in Baltimore, MD on December 19, 2005 at 7:24 AM (PDT)
this is my 3rd iTrip, i first had the iTrip without the LCD, used with my 4G Photo, it was fine, but not perfect, had real trouble using it in big cities such as Birimingham and London.. it did the job though 85% of the time..
Then i got the iTrip LCD, the one that sits on top.. so far this has been the best, i was able to use International frequencies and tune into 87.5-87.9, the holy grail of frequencies in the UK.. and thanks to DX mode even in London the performance was SUBSTANTIALLY improved!! DX may have been mono, and my car may have 12 speakers, but by god did it sound good, i quickly stopped caring about LX stereo. It was as good and powerful as the CD player.
now i've upgraded to the Video ipod, i've had to get this one.. and i too am suffering the buzzing noise, you can't really hear it on loud music, but anything relatively quiet, it's VERY noticable, not massively obstrusive, but annoying. Podcasts, forget about it!
Also not being able to fit securely can be annoying, i don't know why they couldn't have the regular snap connection, it would have been great.. but either way it doens't bother me too much, it's not like it just falls out, you just have to be a bit more careful. I do like the new tab thing though, but is tricky to use one handed mainly due to the poor dock connection.
I am hoping the buzzing is a fault, i've tried it on other radios, and tried all sorts of options etc.. it's always there and is seriously unnacceptable. For some reason my car doesn't like cassette adaptors, and i don't like other FM transmitters, as they almost always involve cables, and look ugly. If i wasn't bothered about looks, i wouldn't have changed my ipod, then again wouldn't have got an ipod/itrip in the first place!
damn you Griffin, you do something pure genius and then go smash it with a sledgehammer!!
Posted by tj_director on January 17, 2006 at 4:21 PM (PDT)
Purchased in Melbourne Australia a week ago. Good signal to noise ratio, VERY VERY BAD CONSTANT BUZZING, identical symptoms to other postings.
My money back please.
Posted by Ivan Rostas on January 25, 2006 at 5:30 AM (PDT)
I never thought I would say this but I wish I still had a cassette player.
Posted by bazookajay on February 4, 2006 at 11:53 AM (PDT)
BLAH!!! I returned mine! The thing has no output!! What good is an FM transmitter that forces you to turn up your car speakers ALL THE WAY in order to hear it well?? CHEAP-O.
Posted by Werewolf on March 14, 2006 at 8:06 AM (PDT)
not impressed! horrible connection with radio, what ever station you try to sync it with, it will return to 88.4 but weather i was at 88 or anything else it sounded the same, BAD, disappointed, and think i waited till my cassette died so i could get a good transmitter
Posted by frogletack on April 21, 2006 at 10:17 AM (PDT)
When I got my iTrip this morning, I too got the dreaded buzzing sound, but after trying another frequency, it went and now I have clear, broadcast-quality (ie, equivalent to analogue radio) sound in my car. I lost the use of a cassette player when I traded in my VW Golf, and so the only option open to me was one of the Dension ICE Links. I have a new-model Audi A6 so this is a pricy and complicated install because of the lack of both an aux port (what's that about, in a brand new, so-called 'premium' car?) or indeed a discernable head unit (the car has one of these central multifunction computer thingies with a central controller). Anyway, to get to the point, I'm now a happy bunny. For those of you who still have the buzzing,the only advice I can offer is that the frequency you choose must be absolutely clear of any other broadcast, otherwise the two signals seem to clash and create interference. I was initially very disappointed, but after some persistance, everything now seems to work as advertised.
Posted by Marky_Mark on May 6, 2006 at 9:05 AM (PDT)
crap, i'm going to return my itrip fer an xtrememac transmitter. my buddy has a first generation itrip, which works really well. this new one does not!
Posted by djrobber on June 11, 2006 at 6:01 PM (PDT)
When my iTrip Dock works, it works great. I don't hear buzzing and I get good reception in my Lexus and the cheap tuner at the office. Even "boom boxes" receive the signal fairly well.
My problem is that I have to do a soft reset of my 30 Gb 5th Gen iPod several times a day in order to continue transmitting. I take the iPod from place to place and turn it off while I'm in transit. It seems that the problems come when it has been off for a while.
Is it bad to soft reset your iPod several times per day? I would think it would shorten its life.

When I upgraded from my 3G to 5G iPod, I debated between the Belkin TuneFM for iPod (with car charger) or sticking with Griffin and getting a new iTrip. Belkin won out because of the iPodlounge rating and also because it came with the car charger for a good price.
However after receiving it, attaching it to my iPod, and testing it in my car, I was immediately disappointed.
Belkin's TuneFM slipped very easily off the iPod (I have an iSkin EvO case for it with a flap that accommodates the dock connections) and would come off if I even moved it slightly, causing the tuner to "re-tune" every time it detached. This made for changing songs a pain.
This "looseness" of the transmitter also changed the way I have to carry my iPod in my purse, as the transmitter would fall off somewhere and I'd constantly have to dig for it when I got back to my car. It's very compact (which is good) but I was used to carrying both transmitter and iPod attached for easy access with my 3G and (old-skool, lipstick-style) iTrip. This also worried me, as I had a feeling it just might fall out of my purse by accident and I wouldn't notice until it was too late.
A couple of days ago, just as I had anticipated, the transmitter fell out of my purse, so I ended up buying the Griffin iTrip Black. AND, ONCE AGAIN, ALL WAS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.
Griffin's iTrip was what I should have stuck with: there was less static in my car compared to the Belkin, which I would have to switch stations quite often to avoid fuzziness. Also the iTrip, even though it may be a little more bulky than the TuneFM, was much more snug with the iPod, and in my case less likely to be lost in my purse.
Even better, I just plugged in the Belkin's car charger (that came with the transmitter) into the iTrip and now I do not have to buy a new charger. (Huzzah!)
I suppose I am just use to the Griffin Transmitters, but I have to say I wish I didn't go through the long wait of trying to get the Belkin off of eBay and just gone right out and bought the iTrip. Would have save me a lot of anxiety.
That being said, I did end up finding the original Belkin transmitter - but I leave it now in the car for emergencies. The iTrip is the one I carry arround with me and I'll stick to Griffin from now on, despite the reviews.
Posted by snowbutterfly in Winnipeg on October 25, 2006 at 8:14 PM (PDT)
I just got the iTrip w/dock for my 5G/80 and it works great. It looks like Griffin made some changes because the antenna on mine is different from the reviewed unit (above. On mine the antenna goes around 3 sides on the back - down one side, across the back, and up the other side.
Mine works fine,, signal strength is good, no buzzing or funny noises, and the audio is decent.
I don't know if there is a way to tell the difference from the packaging, but I wanted to pass this along.
Posted by Brokerman in South Florida on December 11, 2006 at 12:40 PM (PDT)
It works abouat as well as any FM Transmitter can be expected to work. Actually it works far better than my expectations (which were based on a 1980's era non PLL FM "broadcaster" which was JUNK).
I get cell phone interference - esp when making a call or the cell is "pinging" a tower. I also get High Tension wire interference.
Bear in mind that AM radio gets interferece under the same high tension wires that I pass under. Also that my home "Baby Monitor" get similar cell phone interference. If I keep the cell phone about 1.5+ feet away I dont get interference.
I suspect that a full metal shell (aka Faraday Cage) on the iTrip would eliminate the issue.
Also bear in mind that not only are there fidelity issues with the MP3 (or whatever you used short of full WAV) compression, but that there are LIMITATIONS to the FM broadcast standard. I think high freq roll off is at 16K?
I work in an real broadcast FM station, and commercial FM sounds "good" because of $20K worth of Orban Optimod signal processing - which I doubt is in the iTrip.
*** Big peeve***
The mini USB does NOT charge the iPod when the iPod is off (unlike the SendPort or standard docking station). It would be really nice if the mini USB feed power to the iPod when the broadcast portion was not being used.
I bouth the iTrip becuase:
-- its small - I can put in in my iPod "go" bag w/o taking up a ton of space.
-- [I have a hard wired HeadUnit in my Daily Driver]
-- The iTrip is for use on raod trip with RENTAL CARS. IF the thing sounds as good as "AM" radio - Id rather listen to my "Soundtrack" than static (that being said long ago on roadtrips I did hear some um "interesting" broadcasts)
